revenues to furnish such indemnifying bonds or to pledge such securities as may be

required by the department. Any such trust agreement may set forth the rights and

remedies of the bondholders and of the trustee, and may restrict the individual right of

action by bondholders. In addition to the foregoing, any such trust agreement or

proceedings may contain such other provisions as the department may deem reasonable

and proper for the security of the bondholders. All expenses incurred in carrying out the

provisions of such trust agreement or proceedings may be treated as a part of the cost of

the operation of the turnpike project or projects.
