excess  of  the  aggregate  amounts required to be set aside in order to
meet the requirements established in paragraph (d) of this  subdivision,
to  the  highway and bridge capital account, provided however that in no
event shall such transfers occur unless and until the aggregate  of  all
dedicated  highway  and bridge trust fund cooperative agreement payments
certified to the comptroller  for  such  fiscal  year  shall  have  been
appropriated   in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this  section.
Additionally, in no event shall the comptroller pay over and  distribute
any  revenues  of  the  fund to any person other than the New York state
thruway authority if any payment required to be set  aside  pursuant  to
paragraph  (b) of this subdivision has not been made to the authority on
the date by which it was required to have been  made  pursuant  to  such
schedule; provided, however, that no person, including such authority or
the  holders  of its bonds or notes shall have any lien on such revenues
and such agreement shall  be  executory  only  to  the  extent  of  such
revenues available to the state in such fund.
(d)  Upon  receipt by the comptroller of a certificate or certificates
from the chairperson of the New York state thruway  authority  submitted
pursuant  to section three hundred eighty-five of the public authorities
law, that such authority  requires  a  payment  or  payments,  from  the
dedicated  highway and bridge trust fund, the comptroller shall pay from

any month preceding the payment as the chairperson thereof may direct in
any  such  certificate,  the  amount  or  amounts  so   certified.   The
chairperson of such authority shall furnish the commissioner of taxation
and  finance with copies of such certificates. In order to set aside the
moneys necessary to meet the amounts required on  the  payment  date  or
dates  herein,  the comptroller shall comply with the provisions of this
subdivision.
(e) Except for the purpose of meeting a dedicated highway  and  bridge
trust  fund  cooperative  agreement payment required pursuant to section
three hundred eighty-five of the public authorities law that is due on a
monthly basis or more frequently, prior to transferring any moneys  from
the   account  pursuant  to  paragraph  (c)  of  this  subdivision,  the
comptroller shall set aside on a monthly basis  all  revenues  deposited
pursuant  to  this subdivision as received until the amount set aside is
equal to, twenty percent of the interest due on such obligations on  the
next succeeding interest payment date multiplied by the number of months
from  the  date  of  the  last  such payment and ten percent of the next
principal installment due on such obligations multiplied by  the  number
of  months  from  the  date of the last such principal installment where
principal is due on an annual  basis  or  twenty  percent  of  the  next
principal  installment  due on such obligations multiplied by the number
of months from the date of the last  such  principal  installment  where
principal  is  due  on  a semiannual basis. For the purpose of meeting a
required dedicated highway and bridge trust fund  cooperative  agreement
payment  that  is  due  on  a  monthly  basis  or  more  frequently, the
comptroller  shall  set  aside  all  revenues  deposited   pursuant   to
subdivision  two  of  this  section  as received until the amount so set
aside is, in the reasonable judgment of the comptroller,  sufficient  to
pay  the  required  highway  and bridge trust fund cooperative agreement
payment  on  or  before  such  payment  date.  In  no  event  shall  the
comptroller  be  held  liable  for  the  failure  to set aside an amount
sufficient to pay the required dedicated highway and bridge  trust  fund
cooperative agreement payment to the authority.
(f) In the event that the amount set aside by the comptroller pursuant
to  paragraph  (e)  of  this  subdivision  is not sufficient to meet the
dedicated highway and bridge trust fund cooperative  agreement  payments
required  pursuant  to  a  certificate  or certificates submitted by the
chairperson  pursuant  to  subdivision  two  of  section  three  hundred
eighty-five  of  the  public  authorities  law,  the  comptroller  shall
immediately  transfer first from the highway and bridge capital account,
and then, if necessary, from the general fund to the special  obligation
reserve  and  payment  account,  an amount which, when combined with the
amount set aside pursuant to paragraph (e) of this subdivision, shall be
sufficient  to  make  the  dedicated  highway  and  bridge  trust   fund
cooperative  agreement payments required pursuant to such certificate or
certificates.  Following  such  an   event,   the   comptroller   shall,
immediately  set aside the amounts required pursuant to paragraph (e) of
this subdivision, set aside and pay the  next  moneys  received  by  the
special  obligation reserve and payment account to reimburse the general
fund for moneys which were transferred to the special obligation reserve
and payment account pursuant to this paragraph. Such  amounts  shall  be
set  aside  until the full amount of moneys transferred from the general
fund shall have been set aside and any such moneys set  aside  shall  be
transferred  to  the  general  fund  no  later than the last day of each
month.
