Subject  to  any resolution or resolutions adopted pursuant to paragraph (j)  of  subdivision  five  of section twenty-three hundred fifty-g of this title:   1.  In  the  event  that  the  agency  shall default in the payment of principal or of interest on any issue of  bonds  after  the  same  shall become  due,  whether  at maturity or upon call for redemption, and such default shall continue for a period of thirty days, or in the event that the agency shall fail or refuse to comply with the  provisions  of  this title  or  shall  default  in any agreement made with the holders of any issue  of  bonds,  the  holders  of  twenty-five  percent  in  aggregate principal  amount  of  the  bonds  of  such  issue  then outstanding, by instrument or instruments filed in the office of the clerk of the county and provided or acknowledged  in  the  same  manner  as  a  deed  to  be recorded,  may  appoint a trustee to represent the holders of such bonds for the purpose herein provided.   2. Such trustee may and,  upon  written  request  of  the  holders  of twenty-five percent in principal amount of such bonds outstanding, shall in his, her or its own name:  (a)  by action or proceeding in accordance with the civil practice law and rules, enforce all rights of the bondholders, including the right to require the agency to collect lease  payments,  rents,  fees  and  other charges  adequate  to  carry out any agreement as to, or pledge of, such lease payments, rents, fees and other charges and to require the  agency to  carry  out  any  other  agreements  with  the  county  and any other municipality and, or, the holders of such bonds to  perform  its  duties under this title;  (b) bring an action or proceeding upon such bonds;  (c)  by  action  or proceeding, require the agency to account as if it were the trustee of an express trust for the holders of such bonds;  (d) by action or proceeding, enjoin any acts or things  which  may  be unlawful or in violation of the rights of the holders of such bonds; and  (e)  declare all such bonds due and payable, and if all defaults shall be made good, then with  the  consent  of  the  holders  of  twenty-five percent  of  the  principal amount of such bonds then outstanding, annul such declaration and its consequences.   3. Such trustee shall in addition to the foregoing  have  and  possess all  of  the  powers  necessary  or  appropriate for the exercise of any functions specifically set forth  herein  or  incident  to  the  general representation of bondholders in the enforcement and protection of their rights.   4.  The  supreme  court  shall  have  jurisdiction  of  any  action or proceeding by the trustee on behalf of such bondholders.

Before  declaring  the  principal  of  bonds  due and payable, the trustee shall first give thirty days notice in writing to the agency.   6. Any such trustee, whether or not the issue of bonds represented  by such  trustee has been declared due and payable, shall be entitled as of right to the appointment of a receiver of  any  part  or  parts  of  the properties  the  revenues  of  which are pledged for the security of the bonds of such issue, and,  subject  to  any  pledge  or  agreement  with holders  of  such  bonds, such receiver may enter and take possession of such part or parts of the properties and shall take  possession  of  all moneys  and  other  property  derived  from  such  part or parts of such properties and proceed with any construction thereon or the  acquisition of  any  property,  real  or personal, in connection therewith which the agency  is  under  obligation  to  do,  and  to  operate,  maintain  and reconstruct such part or parts of the properties and collect and receive all  revenues thereafter arising therefrom subject to any pledge thereof  or agreement with bondholders relating thereto and  perform  the  public duties  and carry out the agreements and obligations of the agency under the direction of the court.
