of any issue of the bonds, subject to such agreements with bondholders
as may then exist;
(b) the rates, rentals, fees and other charges to be fixed,
established and collected and the amounts to be raised in each year

(i) the terms and provisions of any mortgage or trust deed or
indenture securing the bonds or under which the bonds may be issued;
(j) 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 nineteen hundred eighty-three of this
title, and limiting or abrogating the right of the bondholders to
appoint a trustee under such section or limiting the rights, powers and
duties of such trustee;
(k) defining the acts or omissions to act which shall constitute a
default in the obligations and duties of the authority to the
bondholders and providing the rights and remedies of the bondholders in
the event of such default, including as a matter of right the
appointment of a receiver, provided, however, that such rights and
remedies shall not be inconsistent with the general laws of this state
and other provisions of this title;
(l) limitations on the power of the authority to sell or otherwise

(m) limitations on the amount of moneys derived from the project to be

(o) the obligations of the authority in relation to the construction,

to a trustee or other depositary, and for the method of disbursement
thereof and such safeguards and restrictions as the authority may
determine;
(q) any other matters, of like or different character which may in any
way affect the security or protection of the bonds.
5. It is the intention of the legislature that any pledge of earnings,
revenues or other moneys made by the authority shall be valid and
binding from the time when the pledge is made; that the earnings,
revenues or other moneys so pledged and thereafter received by the
authority shall immediately be subject to the lien of such pledge
without any physical delivery thereof or further act, and that the lien
of any such pledge shall be valid and binding as against all parties
having claims of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise against the
authority irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof.
Neither the resolution nor any other instrument by which a pledge is
created need be recorded.
6. Neither the members of the authority nor any person executing the
bonds or other obligations shall be liable personally on the bonds or
other obligations or be subject to any personal liability or
accountability by reason of the issuance thereof.

7. The authority shall have power out of any funds available therefor
to purchase (as distinguished from the power of redemption hereinabove
provided) any bonds, and all bonds so purchased shall be cancelled.
8. In the discretion of the authority, the bonds may be secured by a
trust indenture by and between the authority and a corporate trustee,
which may be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust
company in the state of New York. Such trust indenture may contain such
provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the
bondholders as may be reasonable and proper and not in violation of law,
including covenants setting forth the duties of the authority in
relation to the construction, maintenance, operation, repair and
insurance of the project, and the custody, safeguarding and application
of all moneys. The authority may provide by such trust indenture for the
payment of the proceeds of the bonds and the revenues of the project to
the trustee under such trust indenture or other depository, and for the
method of disbursement thereof, with such safeguards and restrictions as
it may determine. All expenses incurred in carrying out such trust
indenture may be treated as a part of the cost of maintenance, operation
and repairs of the project. If the bonds shall be secured by a trust
indenture the bondholders shall have no authority to appoint a separate
trustee to represent them.
