The port authority shall be required to pay no taxes or assessments upon any of the property acquired or used by it for any of the purposes of this act or upon any deed, mortgage or other instrument affecting such property or upon the recording of any such instrument. However, to the end that no municipality shall suffer undue loss of taxes and assessments by reason of the acquisition and ownership of property by the port authority for any of the purposes of this act, the port authority is hereby authorized and empowered, in its discretion, to enter into a voluntary agreement or agreements with any municipality whereby the port authority will undertake to pay in lieu of taxes a fair and reasonable sum or sums annually in connection with any real property acquired and owned by the port authority for any of the purposes of this act. Such sums in connection with any real property acquired and owned by the port authority for any of the purposes of this act shall not be more than the sum last paid as taxes upon such real property prior to the time of its acquisition by the port authority; provided, however, that in connection with any portion of the Hudson tubes-world trade center area acquired and owned by the port authority for any of the purposes of this act, after such property is improved pursuant to this act with world trade center buildings, structures or improvements greater in value than the buildings, structures or improvements on such Hudson tubes-world trade center area at the time of its acquisition by the port authority, then, with regard to such greater value, such sum or sums may be increased by such additional sum or sums annually as may be agreed upon between the port authority and the city of New York which will not include any consideration of the exhibit areas of the world trade center or of any areas which would be tax exempt in their own right if title were in the governmental occupants or of other areas accommodating services for the public or devoted to general public use. Each such municipality is hereby authorized and empowered to enter into such agreement or agreements with the port authority and to accept the payment or payments which the port authority is hereby authorized and empowered to make, and the sums so received by such municipality shall be devoted to purposes to which taxes may be applied unless and until otherwise directed by law of the State in which such municipality is located.
