  • Any monies deposited, transferred or
      otherwise contained in the olympic games guaranty  fund  established  in
      section  eighty-four-a  of  the  state finance law shall be used for the
      sole purpose of obtaining adequate security, acceptable  to  the  United
      States  olympic  committee  and  the international olympic committee, to
      demonstrate the endorsing municipality and state's  ability  to  fulfill
      its  obligations  under a games support contract to indemnify and insure
      up to two hundred fifty million dollars of  any  net  financial  deficit
      resulting  from  the  conduct of the olympic games. Such security may be
      provided by funds contained in the guaranty fund  as  provided  in  this
      act,  or  by  insurance coverage, letters of credit, or other acceptable
      secured instruments purchased or  secured  by  such  funds,  or  by  any
      combination  thereof.  In  no  event  may  the combined liability of the
      endorsing municipality and the state under all games support  contracts,
      or  any  other agreement related to the conduct of the games, exceed two
      hundred fifty million dollars in the aggregate.
