* § 1470-h. Bonds of the authority. 1. The authority shall have the
power and is hereby authorized from time to time to issue its negotiable
bonds for any purpose mentioned in section fourteen hundred seventy-c
hereof, including the acquisition, construction, reconstruction and
repair of personal and real property of all kinds deemed by the board to
be necessary or desirable to carry out such purpose, as well as to pay
such expenses as may be deemed by the board necessary or desirable to
the financing thereof and placing the project or projects in operation
in the aggregate principal amount of not exceeding fifteen million
dollars outstanding at any one time. The authority shall have power from
time to time and whenever it deems refunding expedient, to refund any
bonds by the issuance of new bonds, whether the bonds to be refunded
have or have not matured, and may issue bonds partly to refund bonds
then outstanding and partly for any other purpose hereinabove described.
The refunding bonds may be exchanged for the bonds to be refunded, with
such cash adjustments as may be agreed, or may be sold and the proceeds
applied to the purchase or payment of the bonds to be refunded. In
computing the total amount of bonds of the authority which may at any
time be outstanding the amount of the outstanding bonds to be refunded
from the proceeds of the sale of new bonds or by exchange for new bonds
shall be excluded. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided by the
authority, the bonds of every issue shall be general obligations of the
authority payable out of any moneys or revenues of the authority,
subject only to any agreements with the holders of particular bonds
pledging any particular moneys or revenues. Notwithstanding the fact
that the bonds may be payable from a special fund, if they are otherwise
of such form and character as to be negotiable instruments under article
eight of the uniform commercial code the bonds shall be and are hereby
made negotiable instruments within the meaning of and for all the
purposes of article eight of the uniform commercial code, subject only
to the provisions of the bonds for registration.

2. The bonds shall be authorized by resolution of the board and shall
bear such date or dates, mature at such time or times not exceeding
thirty years from their respective dates, bear interest at such rate or
rates payable annually or semi-annually, be in such denominations, be in
such form, either coupon or registered, carry such registration
privileges, be executed in such manner, be payable in lawful money of
the United States of America at such place or places and be subject to
such terms of redemption, as such resolution or resolutions may provide.
The bonds may be sold at public or private sale for such price or prices
as the authority shall determine.

3. Any resolution or resolutions authorizing any bonds or any issue of
bonds may contain provisions, which shall be a part of the contract with
the holders of the bonds thereby authorized, as to:

(a) pledging all or any part of the revenues of a project or projects
to secure the payment of the bonds, subject to such agreements with
bondholders as may then exist;

(b) the rentals, fees and other charges to be charged, and the amounts
to be raised in each year thereby, and the use and disposition of the
revenues;

(c) the setting aside of reserves or sinking funds, and the regulation
and disposition thereof;

(d) limitations on the right of the authority to restrict and regulate
the use of a project;

(e) limitations on the purpose to which the proceeds of sale of any
issue of bonds then or thereafter to be issued may be applied and
pledging such proceeds to secure the payment of the bonds or of any
issue of the bonds;

(f) limitations on the issuance of additional bonds; the terms upon
which additional bonds may be issued and secured; the refunding of
outstanding or other bonds;

(g) the procedure, if any, by which the terms of any contract with
bondholders may be amended or abrogated, the amount of the bonds the
holders of which must consent thereto, and the manner in which such
consent may be given;

(h) limitations on the amount of moneys derived from a project to be
expended for operating, administrative or other expenses of the
authority;

(i) vesting in a trustee or trustees such property, rights, powers and
duties in trust as the authority may determine which may include any or
all the rights, powers, and duties of the trustees appointed by the
bondholders pursuant to section fourteen hundred seventy-o hereof, and
limiting or abrogating the right of the bondholders to appoint a trustee
under said section or limiting the rights, duties and powers of such
trustee;

(j) any other matters, of like or different character, which in any
way affect the security or protection of the bonds.

4. It is the intention hereof that any pledge of revenues or other
moneys made by the authority shall be valid and binding from the time
when the pledge is made; that the revenues or other moneys so pledged
and thereafter received by the authority shall immediately be subject to
the lien of such pledge without any physical delivery thereof or further
act; and that the lien of any such pledge shall be valid and binding as
against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract or
otherwise against the authority irrespective of whether such parties
have notice thereof. Neither the resolution nor any other instrument by
which a pledge is created need be recorded.

5. Neither the members of the authority nor any person executing the
bonds shall be liable personally on the bonds or be subject to any
personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance thereof.

6. The authority shall have power out of any funds available therefor
to purchase bonds. The authority may hold, cancel or resell such bonds,
subject to and in accordance with agreements with bondholders.

7. In the discretion of the authority, the bonds may be secured by a
trust indenture by and between the authority and a corporate trustee,
which may be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust
company in the state of New York. Such trust indenture may contain such
provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the
bondholders as may be reasonable and proper and not in violation of law,
including convenants setting forth the duties of the authority in
relation to the construction, maintenance, operation, repair and
insurance of the project or projects and the custody, safeguarding and
application of all moneys, and may provide that the project or projects
shall be constructed and paid for under the supervision and approval of
consulting engineers. Notwithstanding the provisions of section fourteen
hundred seventy-o of this title the authority may provide by such trust
indenture for the payment of the proceeds of the bonds and the revenues
of the project or projects to the trustee under such trust indenture or
other depository, and for the method of disbursement thereof, with such
safeguards and restrictions as it may determine. All expenses incurred
in carrying out such trust indenture may be treated as a part of the
cost of maintenance, operation, and repairs of the project or projects.
If the bonds shall be secured by a trust indenture, the bondholders
shall have no authority to appoint a separate trustee to represent them,
and the trustee under such trust indenture shall have and possess all of
the powers which are conferred by section fourteen hundred seventy-o
upon a trustee appointed by bondholders.
