Remedies for bond holders
Public Authorities (PBA) CHAPTER 43-A, ARTICLE 8, TITLE 28-BB
§ 2675-o. Remedies for bond holders. 1. In the event that the
authority shall default in the payment of principal or interest on any
issue of bonds after the same shall become due, whether at maturity or
upon call 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 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 in which the principal office of the
authority 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 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, her or its own name:

(a) by suit, action or proceeding in accordance with the civil
practice law and rules, enforce all rights of the holders of the
authority's bonds, and include the right to require the authority to
collect fees and charges and interest adequate to carry out any
agreements as to, or pledge or assignment of or lien upon, such fees and
charges and interest, on properties and to require the authority to
carry out any other agreements with the holders of such bonds to perform
its duties under this title;

(b) bring suit upon such bonds;

(c) by action or suit, 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 suit, 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 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 and appropriate for the exercise of any
functions specifically set forth herein or incident to the general
representation of the holders of the authority's bonds in the
enforcement and protection of their rights.

4. The Supreme Court shall have jurisdiction of any suit, action or
proceeding by the trustee on behalf of such holders of the authority's
bonds. The venue of any such suit, action or proceeding shall be laid in
the city in which the principal office of the authority is located.
