(2) there is a default in the payment of principal and interest or another default under the contract that continues for at least 30 days.
(b) A receiver appointed under this section may, subject to the order of the court:
(1) enter and take possession of the exposition or convention hall; and
(2) operate and maintain the hall and apply the net revenue to the liquidation of the debt.
(c) The receiver may use or rent any part of the hall for any purpose consistent with the continued use of the major part of the hall as an exposition or convention hall, or, if authorized by the court, rent the hall for any lawful use.
(d) The receiver may rent all or any part of the exposition or convention hall to the municipality, and the municipality may lease the hall from the receiver.

The trustee may agree with a person leasing the hall from the receiver not to sell the hall during the term of the person's lease.
