The Commission, or a corporation formed by the Commission pursuant to the laws of this state or the State of California, as the Commission deems appropriate, may issue bonds, notes, obligations or other evidences of borrowing to finance all or a part of the construction of all or a part of the Super Speed Ground Transportation System. For purposes of issuing bonds, notes, obligations or other evidences of borrowing pursuant to this section, the Commission and any corporation formed by the Commission are constituted authorities for the purposes of regulations enacted by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to 26 U.S.C. §§ 103 and 141 to 150, inclusive.

(a) A pledge of property of the Commission or a corporation formed by the Commission pursuant to this section;

(b) A pledge of any revenue of the Super Speed Ground Transportation System, including revenue from fares, revenue from advertising and all other revenue of the System; and

5. Nothing in this section authorizes the Commission or any corporation formed by the Commission to obligate this state or the State of California or any political subdivision thereof unless such State or political subdivision has obligated itself to the Commission or a corporation created by the Commission through an intergovernmental agreement.

6. Unless a specific statute of this state or the State of California requires otherwise, upon dissolution of the Commission, all property of the Commission must be distributed between this state and the State of California in an equitable manner as agreed upon by the States.

The creation, perfection, priority and enforcement of any lien on pledged revenue or other money established to secure any bond, note, obligation or other evidence of borrowing issued pursuant to this section, must be as specified in this section and in the instruments approved by the Commission pertaining to that bond, note, obligation or other evidence of borrowing. It is the purpose of this section to provide expressly for the creation, perfection, priority and enforcement of a security interest created by the Commission in pledged revenues or other money in connection with bonds, notes, obligations or other evidences of borrowing issued pursuant to this section, as provided for in paragraph (n) of subsection 4 of NRS 104.9109.
