The 2026 Series Bonds shall not, in any way, be a debt or liability of the State or of any political subdivision thereof (other than the Authority to the limited extent set forth in the Resolution) and shall not create or constitute an indebtedness, liability or obligation of the State or of any political subdivision thereof (other than the Authority to the limited extent set forth in the Resolution) or be or constitute a pledge of the faith and credit of the State or any political subdivision thereof (other than the Authority to the limited extent set forth in the Resolution).

*Preliminary, subject to change.
** In the opinion of M. Jeremy Ostow, Esq., South Orange, New Jersey, Bond Counsel to the Authority, under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions, and assuming continuing compliance by the Authority with certain requirements described in "TAX MATTERS" in the Preliminary Official Statement, interest on the 2026 Series TTT Bonds is not includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and is not an item of tax preference under Section 57 of the Code for purposes of calculating the federal alternative minimum tax. However, such interest is taken into account in determining the "adjusted financial statement income" (as defined in Section 56A of the Code) of "applicable corporations" (as defined in Section 59(k) of the Code) for purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on such corporations. Bond Counsel is also of the opinion that, under existing law, interest on the 2026 Series Bonds and any gain realized on the sale thereof are not includable in gross income under the New Jersey Gross Income Tax Act, as amended. Interest on the 2026 Series UUU Bonds is includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. See "TAX MATTERS" in the Preliminary Official Statement.
