§ 6276. Agreements  with  dormitory  authority.  (a)  To  fulfill  the
purposes  contained  in  subdivision  a  of  section  sixty-two  hundred
seventy-three of this article, the fund may enter into leases, subleases
or  other  agreements with the dormitory authority to which the board of
higher education may be a party under which the  authority  may  provide
facilities  for  the use of the city university. The fund may enter into
an agreement with the dormitory authority to which the board  of  higher
education  and  the  city  of  New York shall be parties under which the
authority may  acquire,  design,  construct  or  otherwise  provide  and
furnish  and  equip  facilities  for the use of Hunter College which may
include therein a police and fire station upon a site set forth  in  and
in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  such  agreement,  as authorized in
paragraph f of subdivision two of section sixteen hundred eighty of  the
public  authorities  law.  The provisions of the dormitory authority act
shall govern the relationships of the dormitory authority, the fund, and
the board of higher education in the city of New York  with  respect  to
all  such  leases, subleases or other agreements and actions thereunder,
and the fund may apply to the payment  of  rentals  and  other  payments
required from the fund by any such leases, subleases or other agreements
and  may pledge as security for such payments to the dormitory authority
with respect to such leases, subleases or other agreements all  or  part
of  the  resources  of the fund. The dormitory authority shall not issue
obligations for the provision of a senior or community college  facility
unless  a  certificate of availability of funds has been approved by the
director of the budget and an appropriation for such facility  has  been
enacted.
(b)  Neither  the  state,  nor  the city or the city university of New
York, shall be liable for any rentals payable by the  fund  pursuant  to
the  terms of any lease, sublease or other agreement entered into by the
fund under this article. Any such lease,  sublease  or  other  agreement
shall contain among its terms a statement to that effect.
(c)  Housing  units provided under this article for faculty, staff and
married students and the families thereof shall  be  used  and  occupied
pursuant  to  leases  or other agreements between the faculty, staff and
married students and the city university, the provisions of  which  have
been  approved  by  the  dormitory  authority  and  the  city university
construction fund. There shall be paid to the city university,  pursuant
to  such  leases  or other agreements by such faculty, staff and married
students,  except  the  chancellor  of  the  city  university  and   the
presidents  of  any  of  the  senior  colleges  or graduate institutions
thereof and their families, rentals, the total amount of  receipts  from
which  rentals  in  each city fiscal year is to be at least equal to (i)
the portion of the rentals to be paid to the dormitory authority by  the
fund  in  that city fiscal year which is allocable to such housing units
and (ii) the expense of all direct and indirect costs  of  operation  of
such housing units. From such receipts the city university shall account
for and pay to the fund an amount equal to the portion of the rentals to
be  paid to the dormitory authority by the fund in that city fiscal year
which is allocable to such housing units, and the fund  shall  pay  such
amount  to  the  dormitory  authority  in accordance with its agreements
therewith. The estimated amount of rentals  allocable  to  such  housing
units shall be separately stated from the amount required to be included
in  the city university construction fund's report submitted pursuant to
clause  three  of  subdivision  seven  of  section   sixty-two   hundred
seventy-four  of  this  article  and shall not be included in the amount
equal to the aggregate of all rentals and such other payments due to the
dormitory authority from the fund of which the state and city  are  each

obligated  to  pay  to  the  fund one-half pursuant to section sixty-two
hundred seventy-nine of this article.
(d)  Any  pledge  of  or  other security interest in moneys, earnings,
income, revenues, accounts,  contract  rights,  general  intangibles  or
other personal property, or any other resources held, made or created by
the  fund  or  on its behalf by any duly authorized officer, employee or
agent thereof including the comptroller of the city  of  New  York  when
acting  as  agent  pursuant  to  this  article or by any other person to
secure such person's obligations to the fund, shall  be  valid,  binding
and  perfected from the time when such pledge or other security interest
attaches, without any physical delivery of  the  collateral  or  further
act.  The  lien  of  any such pledge or other security interest shall be
valid, binding and perfected as against all parties having claims of any
kind in tort, contract or otherwise against  the  fund  irrespective  of
whether  or not such parties have notice thereof. No instrument by which
such a pledge or other security interest is created  nor  any  financing
statement  need  be  recorded  or  filed.  This  subdivision shall apply
notwithstanding the provisions of the uniform commercial code.
