        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.  The  venue  of
      any such action or proceeding shall be laid in Suffolk county.
        5.  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. 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
      revenue derived from the properties.
