(1) Bonds, notes or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, this State or any agency, authority or instrumentality of this State; and
(2) Bonds, notes or other obligations of any county, municipality, or other governmental unit or subdivision of this State, or any agency, authority, instrumentality of any county, municipality or other governmental unit or subdivision of this State; which that qualified bank or an affiliate thereof holds or has acquired as the underwriter thereof or as a member of an underwriting syndicate thereof.
