      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

      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

      from such project.
