partner has been admitted to the ownership entity, and that an initial
disbursement of funds has occurred.

Agreement (STD 213).
3. Disputes
Applicable law, including the Department's and the Program's statutes, rules,

4. Consent
The parties agree that wherever the consent or approval of the Department or the
Sponsor is required under this Agreement, such consent or approval will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless the same is specified as being in that

must execute the Program Loan documents so as to encumber both the leasehold and fee
interests in the Development.
6. Title Report

14. Sponsor Control of Development
Sponsor shall provide evidence satisfactory to the Department that the Sponsor
identified in the Application and who demonstrated the requisite experience, pursuant
to Section 202 of the Guidelines, in the application process, has and will retain full
control over the development, construction, ownership and management of the
Development through control of the borrowing entity by the Sponsor either directly as
Borrower, or as a managing general partner of Borrower, or as the member/manager
of the general partner of the Borrower. At a minimum, the sponsor-controlled general
partner must solely perform the substantial management duties identified in Board of
Equalization Rule 140.1(a)(10) as items (A), (H), (1) and (K).
The same control requirement applies to any Borrower organized as a limited liability
company. The failure to demonstrate the requisite control of the borrowing entity by
the Sponsor may result in significant delay in the processing, or potentially the
cancellation, of the Program Loan. The Sponsor which demonstrated the requisite
experience of owning and developing affordable rental housing, shall execute the
Department's Sponsor Operating Guaranty to ensure that the Sponsor has the
resources and experience to develop, own and manage the Development. The
organizational structure of the Borrower, including the control and ownership by the
Sponsor or Sponsors, and any changes thereto, must be reviewed and approved by
the Department and must comply with all Program requirements.
15. Limited Partnership Agreement (LPA)
If the Borrower is a limited partnership, the Department neither approves nor
disapproves the LPA, but may require changes, if necessary to ensure, among other
Program requirements, appropriate sponsor control, and that the term of the LPA is
equal to or greater than the term of the Department's loan documents. In the event of
any conflict between the LPA and the Department's loan documents and regulations,
the Department's loan documents, Guidelines, and applicable statutes and
regulations shall control.

described in paragraph 31 of these General Conditions.

appraisal acceptable to the Department of the as-is value of the property, prepared

described in the Application for both the construction and permanent periods. Final

The terms of loan(s) in a lien position senior to the Program Loan must comply with
all the underwriting standards of UMR Sections 8310 and 8315, as may be modified
by the Program Guidelines.
No subordination may limit the Department's remedies and must comply with UMR
Section 8315.

UMR section 8310. Senior loans are prohibited from including call option language in
the terms of the loan other than is reasonable in case of default, nor may Sponsor be
required to remarket Bonds prior to expiration of the senior loan. Financial
instruments on senior loans (including but not limited to swaps, collars, and interest
rate hedges) must extend for the full term of the senior loan and cannot be required
to be renewed or extended prior to the end of the full term.
Sponsors must obtain an interest rate cap on any interest rate that is not fixed for the
full term of the senior loan. The interest rate at the cap must not jeopardize project
feasibility. Interest rate resets, renewals, extensions of letters of credit, or other
senior loan provisions, must not require the Sponsor to re-qualify.
All payments, lender fees, bond fees, issuer fees, trustee fees, letter of credit fees,
swaps fees, hedge fees, enhancement fees, credit facility and liquidity fees, and
other fees, charges, and costs, in addition to principal and interest payments, must
be fully disclosed to the Department in the loan closing transaction summary and in
the operating budget.
The Department's lien shall not be subordinated to the liens of a lender affiliated with
an entity that has an ownership interest in the Project unless a covenant, regulatory
agreement, or similar instrument is recorded senior to the lender's documents that
includes the provisions of UMR Section 8310(f), as may be modified by the Program
Guidelines.
21. Environmental Conditions
The Sponsor shall provide a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment ("ESA") for the
Development, in conformance with ASTM Standard Practice E 1527, evaluating
