  1. Application for Project Mortgage Insurance

The undersigned Borrower certifies that it is familiar with the provisions of <<insert program name from Part I here>> of the National Housing Act and the regulations of the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") applicable thereto and that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the Borrower has complied, or will be able to comply, with all of the requirements thereof that are prerequisite to insurance of the mortgage under such section of the National Housing Act.


The Borrower further certifies that to the best of its knowledge and belief no information, data, exhibits, or attachments provided to the Lender or HUD, are in any way false or incorrect and that they are truly descriptive of the project or property that is intended as the security for the proposed mortgage and that any proposed repairs, rehabilitation, or new construction will not violate zoning ordinances or restrictions of record.


The Borrower agrees with HUD that, pursuant to the requirements of the HUD Regulations, (a) neither it nor anyone authorized to act for it will decline to serve or otherwise make available any of the project’s property, facilities, or services in the project to a prospective patient or customer because of his/her race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; (b) it will comply with federal, state, and local laws and ordinances prohibiting discrimination; and (c) its failure or refusal to comply with the requirements of either (a) or (b) shall be a proper basis for HUD to reject requests for future business with which any Principal of the Borrower is identified or to take any other corrective action HUD may deem necessary.

  1. Byrd Amendment

The Borrower states, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that: “If any funds have been paid or will be paid to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a member of Congress in connection with this commitment providing for the United States to insure or guarantee a loan, the Borrower shall complete and submit Standard Form-LLL-Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying, in accordance with its instructions. Submission of this statement is a prerequisite for making or entering into this transaction imposed by Section 1352, Title 31, U.S. Code. Any person who fails to file the required statement shall be subject to a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 and not more than $100,000 for each such failure.

Borrower hereby assures and certifies that:


1. It shall comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d) and regulations pursuant thereto (24 CFR Part 1) which state that no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program or activity for which Borrower receives federal financial assistance; and shall immediately take any measures necessary to effectuate such assurance. With reference to the real property and structure(s) thereon which are provided or improved with the aid of federal financial assistance extended to Borrower, this assurance shall obligate Borrower, or in the case of any transfer, the transferee, for the period during which the real property and structure(s) are used for the purpose for which the federal financial assistance is extended or for another purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits.

6. It shall comply with the requirements of Executive Orders 11625, 12432 and 12138 (Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises).


  1. Equal Employment Opportunity Certification

Borrower acknowledges and agrees as follows:

1. Borrower shall incorporate or cause to be incorporated into any contract for construction work, or modification thereof, as defined in the regulations of the United States Secretary of Labor at 41 CFR Part 60, which is paid for in whole or in part with funds obtained from the United States or borrowed on the credit of the United States pursuant to a grant, contract, loan, insurance, or guarantee, or undertaken pursuant to any federal program involving such grant, contract, loan, insurance, or guarantee, the following equal opportunity clause:


During the performance of this contract, the contractor agrees as follows:


(1) The contractor shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The contractor shall take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, such action shall include, but not be limited to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.


(2) The contractor shall, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the contractor, state that all qualified applicants shall receive considerations for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.


(3) The contractor shall send to each labor union or representative of workers with which it has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the contractor’s commitments under this section, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment.


(4) The contractor shall comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and of the rules, regulations and relevant orders of the United States Secretary of Labor.


(5) The contractor shall furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the United States Secretary of Labor, or pursuant thereto, and shall permit access to its books, records, and accounts by HUD and the United States Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders.


(6) In the event of the contractor’s noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be declared ineligible for further federal government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the United States Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.


(7) The contractor shall include the portion of the sentence immediately preceding Section (1) and the provisions of Sections (1) through (7) in every subcontract or purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the United States Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to Section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions shall be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. The contractor shall take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as HUD may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance; provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by HUD, the contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.


2. Borrower shall be bound by the equal opportunity clause above with respect to its own employment practices when it participates in federally-assisted construction work; provided, that if Borrower is a state or local government, the above equal opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency, instrumentality or subdivision of such government which does not participate in work on or under the contract.


3. Borrower shall assist and cooperate actively with HUD and the United States Secretary of Labor in obtaining the compliance of contractors and subcontractors with the equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the United States Secretary of Labor, that it shall furnish HUD and the United States Secretary of Labor such information as they may each require for the supervision of such compliance, and that it shall otherwise assist HUD in the discharge of HUD’s primary responsibility for securing compliance.


4. Borrower shall refrain from entering into any contract or contract modification subject to Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, with a contractor debarred from, or who has not demonstrated eligibility for, federal government contracts and federally-assisted construction contracts pursuant to such Executive Order and shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for any violation of the equal opportunity clause as may be imposed upon contractors and subcontractors by HUD or the United States Secretary of Labor pursuant to Part II, Subpart D of such Executive Order. In addition, Borrower agrees that if it fails or refuses to comply with these undertakings, HUD may take any or all of the following actions: cancel, terminate, or suspend in whole or in part the grant, contract, loan, insurance or guarantee; refrain from extending any further assistance to Borrower under the program with respect to which the failure or refund occurred until satisfactory assurance of future compliance has been received from Borrower; or refer the case to the U.S. Department of Justice for appropriate legal proceedings.
