Such trustee may, and  upon  written  request  of  the  holders  of twenty-five  per  cent  in  principal amount of such bonds or notes then outstanding shall, in his or its own name:  (i) by mandamus or other suit, action  or  proceeding  at  law  or  in equity  enforce  all  rights  of  the  pollution  control bondholders or noteholders, including any right to require  the  authority  to  collect revenues  adequate to carry out the provisions of any agreement with the holders of such bonds or notes and to  perform  its  duties  under  this title;  (ii) bring suit upon such bonds or notes;  (iii) by action or suit in equity, require the authority to account as if it were the trustee of an express trust for the holders of such bonds or notes;  (iv)  by action or suit in equity, enjoin any acts or things which may be unlawful or in violation of the rights of the holders of  such  bonds or notes;  (v)  subject to the provisions of subdivision four of section eighteen hundred five of this title, declare all such  bonds  or  notes  due  and payable,  and if all defaults shall be made good, then, with the consent of the holders of twenty-five per cent of the principal amount  of  such bonds  or  notes  then  outstanding,  to  annul such declaration and its consequences.    c. 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  the  pollution control bondholders or noteholders in the enforcement and protection of their rights.   d.
