agreement with noteholders or bondholders, the corporation may sell or
lease any industrial project, without public bidding or public sale, for

date of, or subsequent to the completion of the project by the
corporation, provided, however, that in the case of a lease, the term
thereof shall not exceed ninety-nine years. Where such contract for sale
or lease is entered into after the commencement of construction and

include a statement of the identity of the proposed purchaser or lessee,
the price or rental to be paid, all other essential conditions of such
sale or lease, and a statement that a public hearing upon such sale or
lease will be held before the corporation at a specified time and place
on a date not less than ten days after such publication, and such
hearing shall be held in accordance with such notice; provided, however,
that if the corporation determines that trade secrets or other
confidential information about the prospective purchaser's or lessee's
business operations, products, processes or designs would otherwise be
revealed by such public notice and public hearing, the requirements of
this subdivision may be waived by unanimous vote of the directors of the
corporation.
