(i) vesting in a trustee or trustees such properties, rights, powers
and duties in trust as the authority may determine, which may include
any or all of the rights, powers and duties of the trustee appointed by
the bondholders pursuant to section twelve hundred thirty-two-h of this
title and limiting or abrogating the rights of the bondholders to
appoint a trustee under such section or limiting the rights, duties and

appointment of a receiver; provided, however, that such rights and
remedies shall not be inconsistent with the general laws of the state
and other provisions of this title; notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary, nothing contained in this title shall be deemed to restrict
the right of the state or county of Nassau to amend, modify or otherwise
alter laws, ordinances, resolutions or agreements imposing or relating
to taxes or fees or appropriations relating thereto. The authority shall
not include in any resolution or contract or agreement with the holder
of its bonds any provision which provides that a default shall occur as
a result of the state or county exercising its right to amend, modify or
otherwise alter laws, ordinances, resolutions or agreements imposing or
relating to taxes or fees or appropriations relating thereto;

a trustee or other depository, and for the method of disbursement
thereof with such safeguards and restrictions as the authority may
determine; and
(n) any other matters of like or different character which may in any
way affect the security or protection of the bonds or the rights and
remedies of bondholders.

5. In addition to the powers conferred by this section upon the
authority to secure its bonds, the authority shall have power in
connection with the issuance of bonds to adopt resolutions and enter
into such trust indentures, agreements or other instruments as the
authority may deem necessary, convenient or desirable concerning the use
or disposition of its revenues or other moneys or property, including
the mortgaging of any of its properties and the entrusting, pledging or
creation of any other security interest in any such revenues, moneys or
properties and the doing of any act (including refraining from doing any
act) which the authority would have the right to do in the absence of
such agreements. The authority shall have power to enter into amendments
of any such agreements within the powers granted to the authority by
this title and to perform such agreements. The provisions of any such
agreements may be made a part of the contract with the holders of bonds
of the authority.
6. Notwithstanding any provision of the uniform commercial code to the
contrary, any pledge of or other security interest in revenues, moneys,
accounts, contract rights, general intangibles or other personal
property made or created by the authority shall be valid, binding and
perfected from the time when such pledge is made or other security
interest attaches without any physical delivery of the collateral or
further act, and the lien of any such pledge or other security interest
shall be valid, binding and perfected against all parties having claims
of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise against the authority
irrespective of whether or not such parties have notice thereof. No
instrument by which such a pledge or security interest is created nor
any financing statement need be recorded or filed.
7. Whether or not the bonds are of such form and character as to be
negotiable instruments under the terms of the uniform commercial code,
the bonds are hereby made negotiable instruments within the meaning of
and for all the purposes of the uniform commercial code, subject only to
the provisions of the bonds for registration.
8. Neither the members of the authority nor any person executing bonds
shall be liable personally thereon or be subject to any personal
liability or accountability by reason of the issuance thereof.
9. The authority, subject to such agreements with bondholders as then
may exist, shall have the power, out of any moneys available therefor,
to purchase bonds of the authority, which shall thereupon be cancelled.
10. The authority shall have the power and is hereby authorized to
issue negotiable notes only for the purpose of paying the cost of any
project or for any other of its corporate purposes in conformity with
applicable provisions of the uniform commercial code and may renew the
same from time to time but the maximum maturity of any such note,
including renewals thereof, shall not exceed five years from the date of
issuance of such original note.
