occupants in rural areas. The Governing Body has determined that the Entity is unable to provide such housing and facilities with its

reasonably be expected to fulfill.
BE IT RESOLVED:
1.
Application for Loan. The Entity shall apply for and obtain a loan (''Loan'') of $
from the United States of America acting through the Rural Housing Service, or a successor agency, United States Department of
Agriculture, (''Government'') pursuant to section 515 of the Housing Act of 1949. The loan may be sold and insured by the
Government. The Loan shall be used solely for the specific purposes for which it is approved by the Government, in order to
provide housing and related facilities for occupants, as defined by the government in rural areas. Such housing, facilities, and
the land constituting the site are called ''Housing''.
2.
Execution of Loan Instruments. To evidence the loan the Entity shall issue a promissory note ("Note''), signed by its
authorized representative, with any requisite seal affixed, for the amount of the Loan, payable in installments over a
years, bearing interest at a
period of
rate, and containing other terms and conditions, prescribed by the Government. To secure the note or any indemnity or other agreement
required by the Government, the authorized representative is hereby authorized to execute a real estate security instrument giving a lien
upon the Housing and upon such other real property of the Entity as the Government shall require, including an assignment of the rents,
subsidies, revenues and profits as collateral security to be enforced in the event of any default by the Entity, and containing other terms
and conditions prescribed by the Government. The authorized representative is further authorized to execute any other security
instruments and other instruments and documents required by the Government in connection with the making or insuring of the loan.
The indebtedness and other obligations of the Entity under the Note, the related security instruments, and any related agreements are
herein called the ''Loan Obligation''.
A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a
collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control
Number. The OMB Control Number for this information collection is 0575-0189. Public reporting for this collection of information is estimated to be approximately

reviewing the collection of information. All responses to this collection of information are voluntary. However, in order to obtain or retain a benefit, the
information in this form is required under Section 515 Rural Rental Housing, which includes Congregate Housing, Group Homes, and Rural Cooperative Housing.
