Every loan agreement made with a hospital agency which shall be a corporation created for profit, pursuant to which a public agency shall have acquired title to any hospital facilities, shall contain a provision requiring such hospital agency to make payments to the county or counties, school district or school districts, and other political units wherein the hospital facilities shall be located, in lieu of taxes, in such amounts as would result from taxes levied on the hospital facilities by such county or counties, school district or school districts, and other political unit or units, if the hospital facilities were owned by the hospital agency which is a corporation for profit, but with appropriate reductions similar to the tax exemptions, if any, which would be afforded to the hospital agency if it were the owner of the hospital facilities.
