Section 40-61-16 - Remedies of bondholders1. In the event that an 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 an authority shall fail or refuse to comply with the provisions of this chapter, or shall default in any agreement made with the holders of any issue of the 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 recorder of the county in which the authority is located, unless the board of county commissioners designates a different official, 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 percent in principal amount of such bonds then outstanding shall, in the trustee's own name: a. By action or special proceeding enforce all rights of the bondholders, including the right to require an authority to collect revenues adequate to carry out by any agreement as to, or pledge of, such revenues, and to require an authority to carry out any other agreements with the holders of such bonds and to perform its duties under this chapter.b. Bring suit upon such bonds.c. By action or suit in equity, require an authority to account as if it were the trustee of an express trust for the holders of such bonds.d. By action or suit in equity, 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 percent of the principal amount of such bonds then outstanding, to annul such declaration and its consequences.3. The district 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 in which the authority is located.4. Before declaring the principal of all such bonds due and payable, a trustee shall first give thirty days' notice in writing to an 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 an authority has covenanted to construct and with any construction which an 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 an 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 on the enforcement and protection of their rights.
