insurance endorsement of the mortgage note, there shall be filed with
the Commissioner copies of all instruments or agreements necessary
under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction to authorize the execution
of the mortgage and the other closing documents, and a Regulatory
Agreement or other instrument to permit the Commissioner’s regulation of the Mortgagor as to rents, charges, and methods of operation.
Such instrument shall provide, among other things, for the establishment of a Reserve Fund for Replacements under control of the Mortgagee by payment of $_______________________ per annum, to be
accumulated monthly commencing on the date of the first payment to
principal as established in the insured mortgage, unless a later date is
agreed to by the Commissioner.

6. Any change in the Drawings and Specifications or in the conditions
upon which this commitment is based, which may occur after the date
hereof, shall be explained in writing, or in a supplementary application
if required by the Commissioner, and must be approved by the
Commissioner prior to initial endorsement. Any such change occurring subsequent to initial endorsement must be brought to the attention
of the Commissioner immediately upon occurrence, and, except for
such changes in the Drawings and Specifications which may be
authorized by the Architect, must be approved by the Commissioner
prior to the date on which the Commissioner is requested to approve
any further advance for insurance. Changes in the Drawings and
Specifications which result in any net construction cost increase, or

Commissioner. The Commissioner’s approval of any change described above may be subject to such conditions and qualifications as
the Commissioner in his discretion may prescribe.

by the Commissioner.
