An authority shall have power, by its resolution, trust indenture or loan or lease agreement, to confer upon any obligees holding or representing a specified percentage of bonds, or upon any bond insurer or provider of a letter of credit or other credit or liquidity facility, the right, in addition to all rights that may otherwise be conferred, upon the happening of an event of default or such particular events of default as may be specified in such resolution or instrument, by suit, action or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction to obtain the appointment of a receiver of any real property or personal property or leasehold interest of the authority and of the rents and profits therefrom. If a receiver is appointed, the receiver may enter and take possession of such real property or any leasehold interest, operate the same and collect and receive all revenues or other income thereafter arising therefrom and shall keep such moneys in a separate account and apply the same in accordance with the obligations of the authority as the court shall direct. Nothing in this section or any other section of this chapter shall authorize any receiver appointed under this chapter for the purpose of operating and maintaining any facilities of the authority to sell, assign, mortgage or otherwise dispose of any of the assets, of whatever kind or character, belonging to the authority, except for the sale or other disposition of moveable equipment or other tangible personal property in the ordinary course of business or the sale or disposition of real or personal property to the extent it is pledged to secure the authority's bonds. It is the intention of this chapter to limit the powers of the receiver to the operation and maintenance of the facilities of the authority as the court shall direct, and no obligee of the authority shall ever have the right in any suit, action or proceeding, at law or in equity, to compel a receiver, nor shall any receiver ever be authorized or any court be empowered to direct the receiver, to sell, assign, mortgage or otherwise dispose of any assets, of whatever kind or character, belonging to the authority, except for the expenditure of funds and the sale or other disposition of moveable equipment or other tangible personal property in the ordinary course of business or the sale or disposition of real or personal property to the extent it is pledged to secure the authority's bonds.
