The President and the Secretary are further authorized to execute any other security and other instruments, agreements, and documents required by the Government for the funding. The indebtedness and other obligations of the Corporation, Restructuring Documents, this resolution, the security instrument, and any other instruments and agreements related to the loan or grant are herein called the “loan and grant obligations.”

3. Equal Employment Opportunity under Construction Contracts and Nondiscrimination in the Use of Occupancy and Housing and in Any Other Benefits of the Loan or Grant. The President and the Secretary are hereby authorized and directed to execute on behalf of the Corporation

(a) Any undertakings and agreements required by the Government regarding nondiscrimination in the use and occupancy of housing,

Amounts in the supervised bank account exceeding $100,000 shall be secured by the financial institution in advance in accordance with U. S. Treasury Department regulations, 31 CFR part 202. As provided by the terms of the agreement creating the supervised bank account, all funds therein shall, until duly expended, collaterally secure the loan and grant obligations.

(a) It is understood and agreed by the Corporation that any grant will be administered subject to the limitations of the authorizing act of Congress and related regulations, and that any rights granted to the Government herein or elsewhere may be exercised by it in its sole discretion to carry out the purposes of the loan and grant, enforce such limitations, and protect the Government’s financial interest in the loan and grant and the security.
