In the event that the agency shall fail within five years from the  date of a lease or conveyance authorized pursuant to paragraph a of this  subdivision five to construct, reconstruct, rehabilitate or improve  the  health facilities thereon for which the lease or conveyance was made, as  provided  for in any agreement entered into pursuant to this article and  the health and mental hygiene facilities  improvement  act,  or  in  the  event  that  such  health  facilities  shall  cease  to  be used for the  purposes intended, then and in either event but subject to the terms  of  any  lease,  sublease  or  other  agreement  between  the agency and the  municipality, such real property  and  any  health  facilities  thereon,  shall  revert  to  the municipality with right of re-entry thereupon and  such lease or deed shall be made subject to such  conditions;  provided,  however,  that as a condition precedent to the exercise of such right of  re-entry the municipality shall pay to the agency an amount equal to the  purchase price of such real property, the depreciated cost of any health  facilities constructed, reconstructed, rehabilitated  or  improved,  and  all  other  costs of the agency incident to the acquisition of such real  property   and   the   financing   of   construction,    reconstruction,  rehabilitation  or  improvement  relating  to  such  facilities,  all as  provided in the aforesaid lease, sublease  or  other  agreement  entered  into with such municipality.    f.  In  the event that the agency shall determine that any portions of  the real property leased or conveyed pursuant to  paragraph  a  of  this  subdivision five are in excess of the real property needed to construct,  reconstruct,  rehabilitate or improve the facility or facilities thereon  for which the conveyance was made, as provided in any agreement  enteredinto  pursuant  to  this  article  and  the  health  and  mental hygiene  facilities improvement act, the agency  may  terminate  its  lease  with  respect  to  such excess portions of such real property or reconvey such  excess  portions  to  the  municipality,  provided,  however,  that  the  municipality  shall  pay  to  the  agency  an  amount   equal   to   the  consideration, if any, paid by the agency to such municipality allocable  to  such  excess real property and such other costs of the agency as are  incident to the acquisition of such excess real property, all as may  be  approved  by such municipality and the agency. Any monies so paid to the  agency shall be used and applied,  subject  to  the  provisions  of  any  contract  with  noteholders  and  bondholders,  for  the sole purpose of  paying costs and expenses of the agency incident to the financing of the  health facilities to be  constructed,  reconstructed,  rehabilitated  or  improved  on such other portions of the real property as shall have been  leased or conveyed to  the  agency  pursuant  to  paragraph  a  of  this  subdivision five.    g.    The   cost   of   construction,   acquisition,   reconstruction,  rehabilitation or improvement of health  facilities  undertaken  by  the  agency  pursuant  to  this  article  and  the  health and mental hygiene  facilities improvement act may include the cost of  acquisition  of  any  real  property  leased  or  conveyed  to  the  agency in accordance with  paragraph a of this subdivision  five  and  the  cost  of  the  original  furnishings,  equipment,  machinery  and apparatus needed to furnish and  equip such facilities upon the completion of the work. The agency  shall  have  power  to  acquire or lease and to hold real property required for  the  construction,  acquisition,   reconstruction,   rehabilitation   or  improvement  of  the health facilities undertaken by the agency pursuant  to this article and the health and mental hygiene facilities improvement  act and to provide the original furnishings,  equipment,  machinery  and  apparatus   needed  to  furnish  and  equip  such  facilities  upon  the  completion of  work  and  to  issue  its  bonds  and  notes  to  provide  sufficient funds to pay the cost thereof.    h.  A  municipality  is hereby authorized and empowered, in connection  with any lease, sublease or other agreement with  the  agency  to  which  such  municipality is a party, and subject to such agreements with third  parties as may then exist, to:    (1) pledge or assign to the agency all or any portion of the  revenues  and  monies received or to be received by the municipality, which may be  available for the purpose of paying rentals for the use  of  the  health  facilities   constructed,   acquired,  reconstructed,  rehabilitated  or  improved under such agreement, so that the payment of such  rentals  may  be fully secured and protected;    (2)  use  and  dispose  of  such  revenues and monies, or any portions  thereof, for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part (a) the  cost  of  acquiring  any  real  property  for  the  purpose  of  constructing,  acquiring,  reconstructing,  rehabilitating  or   improving   facilities  thereon which may be constructed, acquired, reconstructed, rehabilitated  or  improved  by  the agency pursuant to this article and the health and  mental hygiene facilities improvement act, (b) the cost of financing the  construction, acquisition, reconstruction, rehabilitation or improvement  of  such  facilities,  and  (c)  the  cost  of  acquiring  the  original  furnishings,  equipment,  machinery  and apparatus needed to furnish and  equip such facilities upon the completion of the work;    (3) set aside  rental  reserves  and  to  agree  to  the  maintenance,  regulation and disposition thereof;    (4) agree to limitations on the purposes to which the proceeds of sale  of  agency  notes  or  bonds  may be applied and to the pledging of suchproceeds to secure the payment of agency notes or bonds or of any issued  thereof;    (5) agree to limitations on the making of additional leases, subleases  or  agreements  with the agency or with others, and the terms upon which  such additional leases, subleases or agreements may be made;    (6) upon receipt of any notice of assignment by the agency of any such  lease, sublease or other agreement with the agency, or  of  any  of  its  rights under such lease, sublease or other agreement, recognize and give  effect  to  such  assignment  and to pay the assignee thereof rentals or  other payments then due or which may become due under  any  such  lease,  sublease  or  other  agreement which has been so assigned by the agency;  and    (7) agree to any other matters, of like or different character,  which  in  any  way  affect  the  security or protection of the rental payments  required to be made under the terms of such  lease,  sublease  or  other  agreement with the agency.
