Except  as  hereinafter  provided,  all  provisions  of  this   article, including  the  definition  and  exemption provisions and the provisions relating to the  administration,  collection  and  distribution  by  the commissioner,  shall  apply  for  purposes  of  the  tax imposed by this section in the same manner and with the same force and effect as if  the language  of  this article had been incorporated in full in this section and had expressly referred to the tax imposed by this section; provided, however, that  any  provision  relating  to  a  maximum  rate  shall  be calculated  without  reference  to the additional sales and compensating use  tax  herein  authorized.  For  purposes  of  part  IV  of   article twenty-nine  of  this  chapter,  relating to the disposition of revenues resulting from taxes collected and administered by the commissioner, the additional sales and compensating  use  tax  herein  provided  shall  be deemed  to  be imposed under the authority of section twelve hundred ten of  this  article  and  all  provisions   relating   to   the   deposit, administration and disposition of taxes, penalties and interest relating to  a  tax  imposed  by  a  county under the authority of section twelve hundred ten of this article  shall,  except  as  otherwise  specifically provided in this section, apply to the additional sales and compensating use tax imposed pursuant to this section.  (b)  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  this  article  to the contrary,  the  net  collections  from  the  tax  imposed  pursuant   to subdivision (a) of this section shall be deposited in a special fund, to be  designated  as  the  LILCO tax certiorari payment and securitization fund to be created by said county therefor separate and apart  from  any other  funds  and  accounts of the county.  Moneys in such fund shall be deposited and secured in the manner  provided  by  section  ten  of  the general  municipal  law.    Pending  expenditure  from such fund, moneys therein may be invested in the manner provided in section eleven of  the general  municipal  law. Any interest earned or capital gain realized on the moneys so deposited or invested shall accrue to and become  part  of such  fund. Moneys in said fund may be appropriated from and transferred to or expended in any fiscal year only for the purpose of either  paying a  tax certiorari judgment, or compromise or settlement thereof, payable by said county in a proceeding entitled In the Matter of the Application of LONG ISLAND LIGHTING  COMPANY,  Petitioner,  and  LONG  ISLAND  POWER AUTHORITY,  Intervenor-Petitioner  against THE ASSESSOR AND THE BOARD OF ASSESSMENT REVIEW FOR THE  TOWN  OF  BROOKHAVEN,  Respondents,  and  THE SHOREHAM-WADING RIVER CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE COUNTY OF SUFFOLK, Intervenors-Respondents, for Review of the Tax Assessments Under Article 7  of  the  Real  Property  Tax  Law  for the 1984-85, 1985-86, 1986-87, 1987-88, 1988-89, 1989-90, 1990-91, and 1991-92 Tax  Years  (the  "LILCO phase 2 judgement"), paying any other tax certiorari judgment against or compromise or settlement of a tax certiorari claim or proceeding by said county  resulting from proceedings commenced by the Long Island lighting  company or any successor in  interest,  paying  a  judgment  against  or compromise  or  settlement  resulting  from  a  proceeding entitled LONG ISLAND  POWER  AUTHORITY  and  LONG  ISLAND  LIGHTING  COMPANY,  against SHOREHAM-WADING  RIVER  CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, COUNTY OF SUFFOLK, TOWN OF BROOKHAVEN, SHOREHAM WADING RIVER  PUBLIC  LIBRARY  DISTRICT,  WADING RIVER  FIRE  DISTRICT,  WADING  RIVER LIGHTING DISTRICT (the "the "PILOT payment judgment"), or paying the principal, interest  and  premium,  if any,  on  bonds  or  bond  anticipation  notes hereinafter issued by the county of Suffolk to pay any such LILCO phase 2 judgment, PILOT  payment judgment   or  compromise  or  settlement  thereof,  or  any  other  tax certiorari judgment  against  or  compromise  or  settlement  of  a  tax certiorari claim or proceeding by said county resulting from proceedings commenced  by  the  Long  Island  lighting  company  or any successor in interest.
