§  3609.  Remedies  of  bondholders.  Subject  to  any  resolution  or
resolutions adopted pursuant to this title:
1. In the event that the corporation shall default in the  payment  of
principal  of  or  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  corporation  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
in  which  the principal office of the corporation is located and proved
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 per centum in principal amount  of  such  bonds  outstanding
shall, in 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 corporation  to  collect  rents,  rates,  fees  and  charges
adequate  to  carry  out  any agreement as to, or pledge of, such rents,
rates, fees and charges and to require the corporation to carry out  any
other  agreements  with  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 corporation 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 the twenty-five
per centum of the principal amount of such bonds  then  outstanding,  to
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. The venue of
any such action or proceeding  shall  be  laid  in  the  county  of  St.
Lawrence.
5.  Before  declaring  the  principal  of  bonds  due and payable, the
trustee  shall  first  give  thirty  days  notice  in  writing  to   the
corporation.
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 any receiver of any part or parts of the
project, the revenues of which are pledged for the security of the bonds
of such issue, and such receiver may enter and take possession  of  such
part  or  parts  of  the project and, subject to any pledge or agreement
with the holders of such bonds, shall take possession of all monies  and
other  property  derived  from  such  part  or  parts of the project and
proceed  with  any  construction  thereon  or  the  acquisition  of  any
property, real or personal, in connection therewith that the corporation
is under obligation to do, and to operate, maintain and reconstruct such
part  or  parts  of  the  project  and  collect and receive all revenues

thereafter arising therefrom subject to any  pledge  or  agreement  with
bondholders relating thereto and perform the public duties and carry out
the agreements and obligations of the corporation under the direction of
the  court.  In any suit, action or proceeding by the trustee, the fees,
counsel fees and expenses of the trustee and of the  receiver,  if  any,
shall  constitute  taxable disbursements and all costs and disbursements
allowed by the court shall be a first charge  on  any  revenues  derived
from the properties.
