 follows:
   (15)  To  enter  into  agreements requiring payments in lieu of taxes.
 Such agreements shall be in writing and in addition to other terms shall
 contain: the amount due annually to each affected tax jurisdiction (or a
 formula by which the amount due can be calculated), the name and address
 of the person, office or agency to which payment shall be delivered, the
 date on which payment shall be made, and the date on which payment shall
 be considered delinquent if not paid. Unless  otherwise  agreed  by  the
 affected  tax  jurisdictions,  any  such  agreement  shall  provide that
 payments in lieu of taxes shall be allocated among affected  tax  juris-
 dictions  in  proportion  to  the  amount of real property tax and other
 taxes which would have been received by each affected  tax  jurisdiction
 had  the  project  not  been  tax exempt due to the status of the agency
 involved in the project. A copy of any such agreement shall be delivered
 to each affected tax jurisdiction within fifteen  days  of  signing  the
 agreement.  In  the  absence  of any such written agreement, payments in
 lieu of taxes  made  by  an  agency  shall  be  allocated  in  the  same
 proportions  as  they  had been prior to January first, nineteen hundred
 ninety-three for so long as the agency's  activities  render  a  project
 non-taxable by affected tax jurisdictions. A NOTIFICATION OF THE EXPIRA-
 TION  OF SUCH AGREEMENT SHALL BE DELIVERED TO THE AFFECTED TAX JURISDIC-
 TION WITHIN TWO YEARS OF THE EXPIRATION OF SUCH AGREEMENT AND IMMEDIATE-
 LY UPON EARLY TERMINATION OF AN AGREEMENT;
   § 2. Subdivision 14 of section 1953 of the public authorities law,  as
 added by chapter 356 of the laws of 1993, is amended to read as follows:
