(1) May, by mandamus, injunction, or other proceedings, compel performance of any covenant or agreement of the authority contained in any applicable resolution or security document by its board or its officers.

(2) May be entitled to a judgment against the authority for the principal of and interest on the indebtedness so in default, together with all reasonable costs of collection.

(b) The remedies specified in this section shall be cumulative to all other remedies that may otherwise be available, by law or contract, for the benefit of the holders of indebtedness of an authority.
