Each bond and note shall contain on its face a statement to the effect that the bank is obligated to pay the principal or interest and redemption premium, if any, only from the revenues or funds pledged or available for those purposes and that neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State is pledged for the payment of the principal of or the interest on those bonds or notes.
