The authority shall have power from time to time and\nwhenever it deems refunding expedient, to refund any bonds by the\nissuance of new bonds, whether the bonds to be refunded have or have not\nmatured, and may issue bonds partly to refund bonds then outstanding and\npartly for any other corporate purpose. The refunding bonds may be\nexchanged for the bonds to be refunded, with such cash adjustments as\nmay be agreed, or may be sold and the proceeds applied to the purchase\nor payment of the bonds to be refunded. Except as may otherwise be\nexpressly provided by the authority, the bonds of every issue shall be\ngeneral obligations of the authority payable out of any moneys or\nrevenues of the authority, subject only to any agreements with the\nholders of particular bonds pledging any particular moneys or revenues.\n 2.

Any resolution or resolutions authorizing any bonds or any issue of\nbonds may contain provisions, which shall be a part of the contract with\nthe holders of the bonds thereby authorized, as to\n (a) pledging all or any part of the revenues derived by the authority\nfrom the ownership or operation of, or otherwise in connection with, any\nproject or projects or any part or parts thereof to secure the payment\nof the bonds, or of any issue thereof, subject to such agreements with\nbondholders as may then exist;\n (b) the rates, rentals, fees and other charges to be charged, and the\namounts to be raised in each year thereby, and the use and disposition\nof revenues;\n (c) the creation and setting aside of reserves or sinking funds, and\nthe regulation and disposition thereof;\n (d) limitations on the right of the authority to restrict and regulate\nthe use of a project;\n (e) limitations on the purpose to which the proceeds of sale of any\nissue of bonds then or thereafter to be issued may be applied and\npledging such proceeds to secure the payment of the bonds or of any\nissue of the bonds;\n (f) limitations on the issuance of additional bonds; the terms upon\nwhich additional bonds may be issued and secured; the refunding of\noutstanding or other bonds;\n (g) the procedure, if any, by which the terms of any contract with\nbondholders may be amended or abrogated, the amount of bonds the holders\nof which must consent thereto, and the manner in which such consent may\nbe given;\n (h) limitations on the amount of moneys derived from a project to be\nexpended for operating, administrative or other expenses of the\nauthority;\n (i) vesting in a trustee or trustees such property, rights, powers and\nduties in trust as the authority may determine which may include any or\nall of the rights, powers and duties of the trustee appointed by the\nbondholders pursuant to section one thousand four hundred thirty-nine\nhereof, and limiting or abrogating the right of the bondholders to\nappoint a trustee under said section or limiting the rights, duties and\npowers of such trustee;\n (j) any other matters, of like or different character, which in any\nway affect the security or protection of the bonds.\n 4. It is the intention hereof that any pledge of revenues or other\nmoneys made by the authority shall be valid and binding from the time\nwhen the pledge is made; that the revenues or other moneys so pledged\nand thereafter received by the authority shall immediately be subject to\nthe lien of such pledge without any physical delivery thereof or further\nact; and that the lien of any such pledge shall be valid and binding as\nagainst all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract or\notherwise against the authority irrespective of whether such parties\nhave notice thereof. Neither the resolution nor any other security\ninstrument by which a pledge is created need be recorded or filed.\n 5. Neither the members of the authority nor any person executing the\nbonds shall be liable personally on the bonds or be subject to any\npersonal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance thereof.\n 6. The authority shall have power out of any funds available therefor\nto purchase bonds. The authority may hold, cancel or resell such bonds,\nsubject to and in accordance with agreements with bondholders.\n 7. In the discretion of the authority, the bonds may be secured by a\ntrust indenture by and between the authority and a corporate trustee,\nwhich may be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust\ncompany in the state of New York. Such trust indenture may contain such\nprovisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the\nbondholders as may be reasonable and proper and not in violation of law,\nincluding covenants setting forth the duties of the authority in\nrelation to the construction, maintenance, operation, repair and\ninsurance of the project or projects, and the custody, safeguarding and\napplication of all moneys, and may provide that the project or projects\nshall be constructed and paid for under the supervision and approval of\nconsulting engineers. Notwithstanding the provisions of section one\nthousand four hundred thirty-two, the authority may provide by such\ntrust indenture for the payment of the proceeds of the bonds and the\nrevenues of the project or projects to the trustee under such trust\nindenture or other depository, and for the method of disbursement\nthereof, with such safeguards and restrictions as it may determine. All\nexpenses incurred in carrying out such trust indenture may be treated as\na part of the cost of maintenance, operation, and repairs of the project\nor projects. If the bonds shall be secured by a trust indenture, the\nbondholders shall have no authority to appoint a separate trustee to\nrepresent them, and the trustee under such trust indenture shall have\nand possess all of the powers which are conferred by section one\nthousand four hundred thirty-nine upon a trustee appointed by\nbondholders.\n
