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
