The county is hereby authorized to prescribe such facilities by local law of the county. The corporation or any such subsidiary thereof, as a condition to any such loan of money or credit, shall enter into a regulatory agreement with the county as to its charges, profits, dividends and disposition or its property of franchises, which agreement shall be binding and enforceable by the county. The county may elect in such regulatory agreement to refrain from exercising all or any portion of its authority to so regulate such charges, profits, dividends and disposition of property or franchise to the extent such charges, profits, dividends and disposition of property or franchise are regulated by the state or any agency thereof. The county shall authorize such regulatory agreement by local law.
(b) In pursuance of the authority granted herein, the county shall have the power and is hereby authorized from time to time to issue its bonds, notes or other obligations in such principal amounts as it shall deem necessary, after taking into account other monies which may be available for the purposes set forth herein. Such bonds, notes or obligations shall be issued for the purpose of making loans to the corporation or any subsidiary thereof, paying interest on such bonds, notes or other obligations, and paying all other obligations and expenditures incidental to and necessary or convenient for the making of such loans. Such bonds, notes or obligations shall be issued in accordance with the applicable provisions of this chapter and the local finance law and applicable local laws.

(b) No amounts shall be withdrawn and transferred to the corporation pursuant to this subdivision unless prior thereto the corporation has agreed in writing to indemnify and hold harmless the county, and provide defense, for all claims, cases, proceedings, actions or other matters against the county arising out of the properties, facilities, operations or employees of the corporation of the Nassau Health Care Corporation, whether commenced before or after the date of transfer of said amounts, and to provide such other security for this obligation as the county may reasonably require. 8.
