The director, officer or employee having such interest shall not participate in any action by the authority with respect to such contract.

No director, officer or employee of the authority shall be deemed to have such an interest solely by reason of the ownership of two percent or less of the securities of a corporation which is or is to be a party to a contract with the authority, including without limitation the holding company of any banking institution in which the funds of the authority are, or are to be deposited, or which is or is to be acting as trustee or paying agent under any bond or note resolution, trust indenture or similar instrument to which the authority is a party.

3. Nothing in this section shall be deemed or construed to limit the right of any director, officer or employee of the authority to acquire an interest in the securities of the authority.
