    §  47-c.  Special  provisions  related  to  certain  bonds  and notes.
  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, general or special:
    1. Any public corporation or officer responsible for  the  acquisition
  of  real  property  or  the  planning,  supervision or administration of
  facilities thereon which may be  constructed,  acquired,  reconstructed,
  rehabilitated  or  improved  by  the  agency pursuant to this article is
  hereby authorized for and on behalf and in the name of the people of the
  state of New York, to execute  and  deliver  to  the  agency,  for  such
  consideration,  if  any, as may be determined by such public corporation
  or officer and the agency, but not to exceed  the  cost  of  acquisition
  thereof  and  the  cost  of improvements thereon, a lease for a term not
  exceeding fifty years or a quitclaim deed conveying to  the  agency  all
  the  right, title and interest of the people of the state of New York in
  and to any of the lands acquired by such public corporation  or  officer
  for  such facilities, and in and to any of the improvements thereon, for
  the purpose of constructing, reconstructing, rehabilitating or improving
  thereon one or more facilities pursuant to this  article  for  lease  or
  sublease  to  any such public corporation or officer, in accordance with
  the terms of an agreement entered into among  them  in  accordance  with
  law.  The  agency  is  hereby  authorized  to  accept  any such lease or
  conveyance, to lease or sublease such lands, improvements and facilities
  to such public corporation or officer, and to hold the same  subject  to
  the  terms  of  any such lease, conveyance, sublease or other agreement,
  and such public corporation or officer is hereby  authorized,  with  the
  approval  of  the  governor,  or where so designated by the governor for
  such purpose, the director of the budget, to lease or sublease any  such
  lands  or  improvements  or  the  facilities constructed, reconstructed,
  rehabilitated or improved thereon pursuant  to  this  article  or  other
  provisions  of  law, and to hold such lands, improvements and facilities
  subject to the terms of any such lease, sublease or other agreement.
    2. a. In the event that the agency shall fail, within five years  from
  the date of a lease or conveyance authorized pursuant to subdivision one
  of  this section, to construct, reconstruct, rehabilitate or improve the
  facility or facilities thereon for which the  conveyance  was  made,  as
  provided  for  in a lease, sublease or other agreement entered into with
  such public corporation or officer, or in the event that  such  facility
  or facilities shall cease to be used for the purposes intended, then and
  in either event but subject to the terms of any lease, sublease or other
  agreement undertaken by the agency, such lands, and the improvements and
  facilities  thereon, shall revert to the people of the state of New York
  with right of re-entry thereupon, and such lease or deed shall  be  made
  subject  to  such  conditions;  provided,  however,  that as a condition
  precedent to the exercise of such right of re-entry  the  state  of  New
  York,  or such public corporation or officer, shall pay to the agency an
  amount equal to the purchase price of such lands and  improvements,  the
  depreciated   cost   of   any   facility   or   facilities  constructed,
  reconstructed, rehabilitated or improved thereon, and all other costs of
  the agency incident to the acquisition of such lands and  the  financing
  of  construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation or improvement relating
  to such facility or facilities, all as provided in the aforesaid  lease,
  sublease or other agreement entered into with such public corporation or
  officer.
    b.  In  the event that the agency shall determine that any portions of
  the lands leased or conveyed pursuant to subdivision one hereof  are  in
  excess  of  the  lands needed to construct, reconstruct, rehabilitate or
  improve the facility or facilities thereon for which the conveyance  was
  made,  as  provided in a lease, sublease or other agreement entered into
  with such public corporation or officer, the agency  may  terminate  its

  lease  with  respect  to  such excess portions of such lands or reconvey
  such excess portions to the people of the state of New  York;  provided,
  however,  that  the  state  of  New  York  or such public corporation or
  officer shall pay to the agency an amount equal to the consideration, if
  any,  paid by the agency to such public corporation or officer allocable
  to such excess lands and such other costs of the agency as are  incident
  to  the acquisition of such excess lands, all as may be approved by such
  public corporation or officer and the agency. Any monies so paid to  the
  agency  shall  be  used  and  applied,  subject to the provisions of any
  contract with noteholders and  bondholders,  for  the  sole  purpose  of
  paying costs and expenses of the agency incident to the financing of the
  facility  or  facilities to be constructed, reconstructed, rehabilitated
  or improved on such other portions of the land as shall have been leased
  or conveyed to the agency pursuant to subdivision one hereof.
    3. The attorney general shall pass upon the form and  sufficiency  and
  manner  of  execution  of  any  deed  of  conveyance and of any lease or
  sublease of lands authorized to be given under subdivision one  of  this
  section and the same shall not be effective unless so approved by him.
    4.    The   cost   of   construction,   acquisition,   reconstruction,
  rehabilitation or improvement of facilities  undertaken  by  the  agency
  pursuant to this article may include the cost of acquisition of any land
  and  improvements  leased  or  conveyed to the agency in accordance with
  subdivision  one  of  this  section  and  the  cost  of   the   original
  furnishings,  equipment,  machinery  and  apparatus  determined  by  the
  responsible public corporation or officer to be needed  to  furnish  and
  equip such facilities upon the completion of work. The agency shall have
  power to acquire or lease and to hold land and improvements required for
  the   construction,   acquisition,   reconstruction,  rehabilitation  or
  improvement of facilities undertaken by  the  agency  pursuant  to  this
  article  and  to  provide the original furnishings, equipment, machinery
  and apparatus  determined  by  the  responsible  public  corporation  or
  officer  to  be  needed  to  furnish  and equip such facilities upon the
  completion of  work  and  to  issue  its  bonds  and  notes  to  provide
  sufficient funds to pay the cost thereof.
    5. Any public corporation or officer referred to in subdivision one of
  this  section is hereby authorized and empowered, in connection with any
  lease, sublease or other agreement with the agency to which such  public
  corporation  or  officer is a party, and subject to such agreements with
  third parties as may then exist, to:
    (a) pledge or assign to the agency all or any portion of the  revenues
  and  monies  received  or  to  be received by such public corporation or

  from  the  state except appropriations or advances made specifically for
  the purpose of paying all or any part of such rentals;
    (b) use and dispose of such  revenues  and  monies,  or  any  portions

  acquiring,  reconstructing,  rehabilitating  or   improving   facilities
  thereon which may be constructed, acquired, reconstructed, rehabilitated
  or  improved  by  the  agency  pursuant to this article, (2) the cost of
  financing the construction, acquisition, reconstruction,  rehabilitation
  or  improvement  of  such  facilities, and (3) the cost of acquiring the
