§  1600-ii.  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 of its corporate purposes and to pay such expenses,  costs  and  payments as may be deemed by the board necessary or desirable to or  in  connection  with  the  acquisition,  construction,   reconstruction,  improving,  equipping  and  furnishing  of any project and the financing  thereof,  including  surveys,  planning,  provisions   for   capitalized  interest, reserve funds and appropriate feasibility studies, and for the  placing  of  the  project  or  projects  in  operation.    The aggregate  principal amount of such bonds outstanding at any  one  time  shall  not  exceed  twenty-five  percent  of the bonded indebtedness limitation from  time to time imposed by section 104.00 of the  local  finance  law.  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, payment or  redemption of the bonds to be  refunded.  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.  Whether  or  not  the  bonds  are  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 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; provided, however, that any private  sale shall be subject to the approval of  the  state  comptroller  where  such sale is not to the comptroller, or the director of the budget where  such sale is to the comptroller.    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  and revenues and income of the authority 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 andpledging 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 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  trustee  appointed  by  the  bondholders  pursuant  to  section sixteen hundred-pp of this title, 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. Notwithstanding any other provision of law,  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  or  filed  in order to protect the security  interest granted.    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  upon such terms and conditions as the authority may  determine. 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, bank or national banking association  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  covenants  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.   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  or  other  revenues  of  the  authority  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 asa 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  sixteen  hundred-pp of this title upon a trustee appointed by bondholders.
