Obligations of authority.

(a) All agreements and covenants undertaken, and all indebtedness issued, by an authority shall be solely and exclusively an obligation of the authority and, except as otherwise provided in a written agreement in accordance with Section 16-17A-17, shall not create an obligation or debt of the state, any university, or any other governmental entity or public corporation within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision.

(b) Neither the directors nor any officer of an authority executing indebtedness issued pursuant to this chapter shall be personally liable for such indebtedness by reason of the execution or issuance thereof.

(c) The state and the sponsoring university do hereby pledge to and agree with the holders of any indebtedness issued under this chapter that neither the state nor the sponsoring university will limit or alter the rights hereby vested in the authority to fulfill the terms of any indebtedness or related security documents made with the holders thereof or in any way impair the rights and remedies of the holders until such indebtedness, together with the interest thereon, and all costs and expenses in connection with any action or proceeding by or on behalf of the holders, are fully met and discharged. An authority is authorized to include this pledge and agreement of this state or sponsoring university in any agreement with the holders of its indebtedness.
