    §  1493-p. Remedies of bondholders. 1. In the event that the authority
  shall default in the payment of principal of or interest on any issue of
  the 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 authority 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 the bonds,  the  holders
  of  twenty-five per centum 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 of Albany 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 purposes herein provided.
    2.  Such  trustee  may,  and  upon  written  request of the holders of
  twenty-five  per  centum  in  principal  amount  of  such   bonds   then
  outstanding shall, in his or its own name
    (a)  by  action  or  special  proceeding  enforce  all  rights  of the
  bondholders, including the right to require  the  authority  to  collect
  revenues  adequate  to  carry  out by any agreement as to, or pledge of,
  such revenues, and to require the  authority  to  carry  out  any  other
  agreements  with  the  holders  of  such bonds and to perform its duties
  under this title;
    (b) bring suit upon such bonds;
    (c) by action or special proceeding, require the authority to  account
  as  if  it  were the trustee of an express trust for the holders of such
  bonds;
    (d) by action or special proceeding, enjoin any acts or  things  which
  may  be  unlawful  or  in violation of the rights of the holders of such
  bonds;
    (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 per
  centum of the principal amount of such bonds then outstanding, to  annul
  such declaration and its consequences.
    3.  The  supreme  court shall have jurisdiction of any suit, action or
  proceeding by the trustee on behalf of bondholders.  The  venue  of  any
  such suit, action or proceeding shall be laid in the county of Albany.
    4.  Before  declaring the principal of all such bonds due and payable,
  the trustee shall first give thirty  days'  notice  in  writing  to  the
  authority.
    5.  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
  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 bondholders, shall take possession of all moneys and other property
  derived  from or applicable to the acquisition, construction, operation,
  maintenance and reconstruction of such part or parts of the project  and
  proceed   with  the  acquisition  of  any  necessary  real  property  in
  connection with  the  project  that  the  authority  has  covenanted  to
  construct,  and  with  any  construction  which  the  authority 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  thereof  or  agreement  with
  bondholders relating thereto and perform the public duties and carry out
  the  agreements  and obligations of the authority under the direction of
  the court. In any suit, action or proceeding by the  trustee,  the  fee,
  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 such project.
    6.  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.
