The authority shall have the power and is hereby authorized from time to time to issue its negotiable bonds for any purposes mentioned in section one  thousand  five  hundred ninety-nine-ddd  of this title, including the acquisition, construction, reconstruction and repair of personal and real  property  of  all  kinds deemed  by  the  board  to  be  necessary or desirable to carry out such purpose, as well as to pay such expenses as may be deemed by  the  board necessary  or desirable to the financing thereof and placing the project or projects in operation  in  the  aggregate  principal  amount  of  not exceeding  three  million  dollars  outstanding  at  any  one  time. The authority shall have power from time to time 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 or payment  of  the bonds  to  be  refunded.  In  computing the total amount of bonds of the authority which may at  any  time  be  outstanding  the  amount  of  the outstanding  bonds  to  be refunded from the proceeds of the sale of new bonds or by exchange for new bonds shall  be  excluded.  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. Notwithstanding the fact that the bonds may be payable from  a special  fund, if they are otherwise of such form and character as to be negotiable instruments under the terms of the negotiable instruments law (constituting chapter thirty-seven of the consolidated laws)  the  bonds shall  be  and are hereby made negotiable instruments within the meaning of and for all the purposes of the negotiable instruments  law,  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, not exceeding seven per centum  per  annum  payable  annually  or semi-annually, be in such denominations, be in such forms, 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.   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 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 or 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 bond 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   one   thousand   five   hundred ninety-nine-ppp of this title hereof, 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.  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.   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. 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 or bank 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. Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  section  one thousand  five  hundred ninety-nine-hhh of this title, 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 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,  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 one thousand five hundred ninety-nine-ooo of this title  upon a trustee appointed by bondholders.   * NB Authority ceased to exist 04/01/1977   * NB There are 2 § 1599-iii's
