(A) Redeem all outstanding securities payable out of the rentals provided for in the lease and all premiums and accrued and unpaid interest payable on that redemption.

(B) Pay all other indebtedness and obligations of the authority attributable to the acquisition, construction, renovation, and leasing of the buildings, including any cost of liquidation of the authority.
