(6) Books of account and the inspection and audit thereof; and
(7) The terms and conditions upon which the holders of the revenue bonds or any proportion of them or any trustee therefor shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver by any court of competent jurisdiction, which court shall have jurisdiction in the proceedings, and which receiver may enter and take possession of the undertaking, operate, maintain, and repair the same, enforce or foreclose loans made under a loan program, impose and prescribe rates, rentals, fees, or charges, collect, receive, and apply all revenue, and receive and apply all user taxes, thereafter arising therefrom in the same manner and to the same extent as the department itself might do;
provided that all covenants shall be subject to review by the governor; and provided further that the provisions of this section with respect to user taxes shall be applicable only if the legislature in the specific act or acts authorizing the issuance of the revenue bonds has provided that the revenue bonds may be paid from and secured by the user taxes derived from an undertaking.
