In the event provision  is  made  for  the  annual  or  other  periodic payment of a fixed sum or sums as a tax  equivalency  payment,  such  lease,  sublease,  or  other  agreement may  further provide, upon approval by the city of such provision,  that  (i)  such lessee, sublessee or vendee shall be required to pay such fixed sum  or  sums  to  the fund during the term of such lease, sublease, or other  agreement regardless of whether the said property rights are exempt from  real property taxes, (ii) if for any year during such term an ad valorem  tax shall be levied and paid by such lessee, sublessee or vendee on  the  said  property  rights, such lessee, sublessee or vendee shall receive a  credit against any taxes thereafter payable by it to the city the amount  of such ad valorem tax paid by it, and (iii) in the  event  during  such  term  a  substitute  tax,  in place either in whole or in part of a real  property tax on said property rights, is levied and paid by such lessee,  sublessee or vendee, such lessee, sublessee, or vendee shall  receive  a  credit  against  any  taxes thereafter payable by it to the city for the  amount of such substitute tax paid by it.    c. (1) Notwithstanding the provisions  of  section  fifty-two  of  the  public housing law, whenever the New York city housing authority is such  owner  or  developer, such lease, sublease or other agreement shall also  provide for the payment by such authority to the fund  or  the  city  of  such  amount, for any year or years, as payment in lieu of real property  taxes on the non-school portion constituting a project,  as  defined  by  the  public  housing law, as may be agreed upon among the fund, the city  and the authority, and as may be approved by  the  commissioner  of  the  state  division  of  housing  and community renewal if such project is a  state project as defined in the public housing law, and by  the  federal  government if such project is a federal project as defined in the public  housing law.    (2)  For  any  of  the  purposes of the public housing law, including,  specifically, section seventy-three  thereof,  and  notwithstanding  any  other provision in the public housing law for establishing the amount of  taxes  paid  or  payable with respect to a project for such year and the  resulting amount of tax  exemption,  in  computing  the  amount  of  tax  exemption  granted to such non-school portion constituting a project, as  defined by the public housing law, the amount of such payment in lieu of  taxes paid or payable with respect thereto for any year shall be  deemed  to be the amount of taxes paid or payable for such year.    3.  Any  lease,  sublease  or other agreement entered into between the  fund and the city of New York or the  board  of  education  pursuant  to  section  four  hundred  fifty-four of this chapter shall provide for (i)  the  construction,  acquisition,   reconstruction,   rehabilitation   or  improvement  of  one  or more combined occupancy structures and (ii) the  leasing or subleasing of the school portion of such  structures  to  the  city  or the board for a term not exceeding ninety-nine years, upon such  terms and conditions as may be agreed upon.    4. Every lease, sublease or other agreement executed pursuant to  this  article  shall be subject to the approval of the commissioner of general  services and the director of management and budget with respect  to  all  rentals or other payments to be made thereunder by the city of New York,  the  board  of  education  or  by  the  owner or developer of a combined  occupancy structure and shall contain a clause that any agreement of the  city of New York thereunder shall be deemed executory to the  extent  of  the  moneys  available  to the city therefor and no liability on account  thereof shall be incurred by the city beyond the  moneys  available  for  the purpose thereof.
