§  1622-i.  Bonds  of  the  authority. 1. The authority shall have the  power and is hereby authorized from time to time to issue its negotiable  bonds, in the aggregate principal  amount  not  to  exceed  ten  million  dollars  outstanding  at one time, 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 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  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 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 of the rights, powers and duties of the  trustee  appointed  by  the  bondholders  pursuant  to  section  sixteen hundred twenty-two-p 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 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, thebondholders 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   twenty-two-p  of  this  title  upon  a  trustee  appointed  by  bondholders.
