B. The Authority may hold title to the real property and improvements until such time as any obligations issued for this purpose are retired or defeased and may lease the real property and improvements specified in subsection A of this section to the Oklahoma Military Department. Upon final redemption or defeasance of the obligations created pursuant to this section, title to the real property and improvements shall be transferred from the Oklahoma Capitol Improvement Authority to the Oklahoma Military Department pursuant to subsection A of this section.

For the purpose of paying the costs for acquisition of the real property and improvements authorized in subsection A of this section and for the purpose authorized in subsection D of this section, the Authority is hereby authorized to borrow monies on the credit of the income and revenues to be derived from the leasing of such real property and improvements and, in anticipation of the collection of such income and revenues, to issue negotiable obligations in an amount not to exceed an amount necessary to generate proceeds equal to Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000.00). It is the intent of the Legislature to appropriate to the Oklahoma Military Department sufficient monies to make rental payments for the purposes of retiring the obligations created pursuant to this section.

F. The obligations authorized under this section may be sold at either competitive or negotiated sale, as determined by the Authority, and in such form and at such prices as may be authorized by the Authority. The Authority may enter into agreements with such credit enhancers and liquidity providers as may be determined necessary to efficiently market the obligations. The obligations may mature and have such provisions for redemption as shall be determined by the Authority, but in no event shall the final maturity of such obligations occur later than thirty (30) years from the first principal maturity date.
I. The Authority may direct the investment of all monies in any funds or accounts created in connection with the offering of the obligations authorized under this section.
