2. Interest may accrue, and be paid, on such advances pursuant to terms approved by HUD in advance in writing.

3. Repayments of advances must be approved by HUD, or as otherwise provided in Program Obligations.

2. PROJECT RECORDS. Borrower shall:

1. Make and keep books, records, and accounts, in such reasonable detail, so as to fully, accurately, and fairly reflect the activities of Borrower.

2. Record the Project’s assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, receipts and disbursements in separate accounts from any other assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, receipts and disbursements of Borrower so as to permit the production of a Statement of Financial Position, a Statement of Profit and Loss (Statement of Activities), and a Statement of Cash Flows for Borrower in which the activities of Borrower are separately identifiable from the activities of the Operator, unless Borrower is also Operator.

3. Devise and maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that:

1. Transactions are executed, and access to assets is permitted, only in accordance with Borrower’s authorization;

2. Transactions are accurately and timely recorded to permit the preparation of quarterly and annual financial reports in conformity with applicable Program Obligations;

3. Transactions are timely recorded in sufficient detail so as to permit an efficient audit of the Borrower’s books and records in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS), Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS), and other applicable Program Obligations; and

4. Transactions are timely recorded in sufficient detail so as to maintain accountability of the Borrower’s assets. The recorded accountability for assets shall be compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals, but not less than annually, and appropriate action shall be taken with respect to any differences.

4. Make the books, records and accounts of Borrower available for inspection by HUD or its authorized representatives, after reasonable prior notice, during normal business hours, at the Project or other mutually agreeable location or, at HUD’s request, shall provide legible copies of such documents to HUD or its authorized representatives within a reasonable time after HUD or its authorized representative makes a request for such documents.

2. ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORTS.

1. For so long as any portion or portions of this Section 20 are not expressly waived or modified in writing by HUD, within ninety (90) days, or such longer period established in writing by HUD, following the end of each fiscal year, Borrower shall furnish HUD and Lender with a complete annual financial report of all of Borrower’s financial activities for the immediately preceding fiscal year, or for such other period as approved by HUD in writing, prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). For purposes of this Section 20, where Borrower is also Operator, and without limiting the requirements for Operator’s submission of financial reports to HUD under the Operator Regulatory Agreement, financial activities of Borrower and the Project shall include all of the activities of both Borrower and Operator. To the extent any records or other information of the Project is held by Operator, or any management agent or Affiliate, Borrower shall cause such entity to provide such information to Borrower, Lender, and HUD, and every contract related to the Project with Operator, or any management agent or Affiliate, shall include the provision that such information shall be provided on demand. All annual financial reports furnished to HUD required herein shall be furnished in accordance with 24 C.F.R. 5.801 and other Program Obligations, and shall include a certification in content and form prescribed by HUD and certified by Borrower.

2. In addition, except as otherwise provided in this Section 20, annual financial reports shall be audited in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) and Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS), and certified by a certified public accountant licensed or certified by a regulatory authority of a state or other political subdivision of the United States, which authority makes such certified public accountant subject to regulations, disciplinary measures, or codes of ethics prescribed by law. Such certified public accountant must have no business relationship with Borrower other than for the provision of tax consulting and return preparation and auditing services.

3. Any Non-Profit Borrower shall submit audited annual financial reports, as applicable, pursuant to federal notice (e.g., Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133). However, notwithstanding any additional time provided for Non-Profit Borrowers to submit audited annual financial reports, such Borrowers shall still be required to submit unaudited annual financial reports pursuant to Section 20(a), except that, for Borrowers that elect to submit their required audited annual financial reports early (i.e. within the time specified in Section 20(a)), the requirement to submit unaudited annual financial reports shall be waived.

4. If Borrower fails to submit any annual financial report required by this Section 20 within ninety (90) days of the required due date, HUD, at its sole election, and without relieving Borrower of its requirement to file such report, may thereafter examine, or cause to be examined at Borrower’s expense, the books and records of Borrower and the Project for purposes of preparing a report of the operations of the Project for HUD’s use.

5. Auditing costs and tax return preparation costs may be charged as Reasonable Operating Expenses only to the extent they are required of Borrower itself by state law, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), the Securities and Exchange Commission, or HUD. Neither IRS audit costs nor costs of tax return preparation for partners, members, shareholders, Principals or Affiliates of Borrower are considered Reasonable Operating Expenses.

IV. PROJECT MANAGEMENT.

2. PRESERVATION, MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY. Borrower (a) shall not commit or permit Waste, (b) shall not abandon the Mortgaged Property, (c) shall restore or repair promptly, or cause to be restored or repaired promptly, in a good and workmanlike manner, any damaged part of the Project to the equivalent of its original condition, or such other condition as HUD may approve in writing, whether or not litigation or insurance proceeds or condemnation awards are available to cover any costs of such restoration or repair, and (d) shall keep, or cause to be kept, the Project in decent, safe, sanitary condition and good repair, including the replacement of Personalty and Fixtures with items of equal or better function and quality. Obligations (a) through (d) of this Section 21 are absolute and unconditional and are not limited by any conditions precedent and are not contingent on the availability of financial assistance from HUD or on HUD’s performance of any administrative or contractual obligations. In the event all or any of the Improvements shall be destroyed or damaged by fire, by an exercise of the power of eminent domain, by failure of warranty, or other casualty, the money derived from any settlement, judgment, or insurance on any portion of the Project shall be applied in accordance with the terms of Program Obligations and the Borrower Security Instrument or as otherwise may be directed in writing by HUD.

2. FLOOD HAZARDS. Borrower shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, flood insurance as required by Program Obligations.

2. CONTRACTS FOR GOODS AND SERVICES. Consistent with Program Obligations, to the extent that Borrower obtain, or cause to be obtained, contracts for goods, materials, supplies, and services (“Goods and Services”), it shall do so at costs, amounts, and terms that do not exceed reasonable and necessary levels and those customarily paid in the vicinity of the Land for Goods and Services received. The purchase price of Goods and Services shall be based on quality, durability and scope of work. Reasonable Operating Expenses do not include amounts paid for betterments as defined in the Property Jurisdiction or the Improvements unless determined by HUD to be prudent and appropriate. If the Borrower is acquiring goods and services whose costs exceed five percent (5.00%) of the Healthcare Facility’s gross annual revenue, Borrower shall solicit written cost estimates. Borrower shall keep copies of all written cost estimates and contracts or other instruments relating to the Project, all or any of which may be subject to inspection and examination by HUD at the Project or other mutually agreeable location.

2. PERMITS AND APPROVALS.

1. Borrower shall at all times cause Operator, or any lessee or management agent, as applicable, to maintain in full force and effect, all appropriate certificates of need, bed authority, provider agreements, licenses, permits and approvals reasonably necessary to operate the Healthcare Facility or to fund the operation of the Project for the Approved Use (collectively, the “Permits and Approvals”). Without the prior written consent of HUD, none of the Permits and Approvals shall be conveyed, assigned, encumbered, transferred or alienated from the Healthcare Facility or the Project (nor shall they be relinquished to any licensing or certification authority). Borrower shall ensure that the Healthcare Facility and the Project are at all times operated in accordance with the requirements of the Permits and Approvals.

2. The security interest referred to in Section 27 below shall constitute, to the extent permitted by law, a first lien upon all of the rights, titles and interests of Borrower, if any, in the Permits and Approvals. However, in the event of either a monetary or other default under this Agreement, the Note, the Borrower Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower shall cooperate in any legal and lawful manner necessary or required to permit the continued operation of the Healthcare Facility for the Approved Use. For the intents and purposes herein, Borrower hereby irrevocably nominates and appoints Lender and HUD, their respective successors and assigns, each in its own capacity, as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest to do all things that any such attorney-in-fact deems to be necessary or appropriate in order to facilitate the continued operation of the Healthcare Facility and the Project for the Approved Use, including but not limited to, the power and authority to provide any and all information and data, pay such fees as may be required, and execute and sign in the name of Borrower, its successors or assigns, any and all documents, as may be required by any Governmental Authority exercising jurisdiction over the Project.

3. Borrower shall not alter, terminate or relinquish or suffer or permit the alteration, termination or relinquishment of any Permits and Approvals without the prior written approval of HUD. In the event that any such alteration, termination or relinquishment is proposed, upon learning of such proposed alteration, termination or relinquishment, Borrower shall advise HUD and Lender promptly. Borrower shall insert the foregoing requirements into any Borrower-Operator Agreement for the Project.

4. Except as otherwise provided below or in Program Obligations, Borrower shall electronically deliver within two (2) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt thereof, to the assigned HUD personnel and Lender copies of any and all notices, reports, surveys and other correspondence (regardless of form) received by Borrower from any Governmental Authority that includes any statement, finding or assertion that (i) Borrower, Operator, the Project or any lessee or management agent of the Project is or may be in violation of (or default under) any of the Permits and Approvals or any governmental requirements applicable thereto, (ii) any of the Permits and Approvals are to be terminated, limited in any way, or not renewed, (iii) any civil money penalty relating to the Project is being imposed with respect to the Healthcare Facility, or (iv) Borrower, Operator, the Project or any lessee or management agent of the Project is subject to any governmental investigation or inquiry involving fraud. Borrower shall deliver to the assigned HUD personnel and Lender, simultaneously with delivery thereof to any Governmental Authority, any and all responses given by or on behalf of Borrower to any of the foregoing and shall provide to HUD and Lender, promptly upon request, such other information regarding any of the foregoing as HUD or Lender may request. Unless otherwise requested by HUD, the reporting requirement of this provision shall not encompass regulators’ communications relating solely to licensed nursing facility surveys where the most severe citation level is at the “G” level or its equivalent (pursuant to CMS State Operations Manual, Chapter 7, as may hereafter be edited or updated, or any successor guidance) unless a citation at such level is either (i) unresolved from the two  most recent consecutive prior surveys, or (ii) is a repeat violation having the same citation number.  Moreover, unless otherwise requested by HUD or Lender, the initial communication from the Operator pursuant to this paragraph shall be a notice by email to the Lender describing the conduct cited, the scope and duration of remedy(ies) imposed, and the timelines for corrective actions.  Then, unless otherwise requested by HUD or Lender, the next communication from the Operator shall be notification that the citations have been cleared by the issuing regulatory agency. The receipt by HUD and/or Lender of notices, reports, surveys, correspondence and other information shall not in any way impose any obligation or liability on HUD, the Lender or their respective agents, representatives or designees to take or refrain from taking any action, and HUD, Lender and their respective agents, representatives and designees shall have no liability for any failure to act thereon or as a result thereof.

2. Operator; Cooperation in Change of Operator.

1. Unless Borrower is itself the licensed operator of the Healthcare Facility, Borrower has or shall (i) enter into and maintain a Borrower-Operator Agreement or [OR (ii) the Master Lease, in which event Borrower shall cause any Master Tenant to enter into and maintain the Borrower-Operator Agreement, all in such form as approved by HUD. Any Operator (including Borrower) must be approved by HUD and shall execute a Healthcare Regulatory Agreement – Operator (Form HUD-92466A-ORCF) upon such terms as are acceptable to HUD and an Operator Security Agreement (Form HUD-92323-ORCF) and deposit account control agreements in form and substance satisfactory to HUD and Lender. If Borrower is or becomes Operator, Borrower shall execute a Healthcare Regulatory Agreement – Operator (Form HUD-92466A-ORCF) upon terms acceptable to HUD and an Operator Security Agreement (Form HUD-92323-ORCF) and deposit account control agreements in form and substance satisfactory to HUD and Lender.

2. Borrower shall require Operator to comply with the terms of the Operator Regulatory Agreement and shall set forth such requirements, or cause such requirements to be set forth, in any Borrower-Operator Agreement. Borrower shall require any Master Tenant to comply with the terms of the Master Tenant Regulatory Agreement and shall set forth such requirements in any Master Lease.

3. In the event that, consistent with the Operator Regulatory Agreement and/or any applicable Master Tenant Regulatory Agreement, HUD directs Borrower and/or any Master Tenant to terminate any Borrower-Operator Agreement [and/or Master Lease] and procure a new Operator acceptable to HUD, Borrower shall expeditiously do so consistent with the continued operation of the Healthcare Facility for the Approved Use, and in cooperation with and subject to the requirements of the necessary regulatory and/or funding entities. Doing so shall in no way obviate the Borrower’s obligation to comply with all other terms of this Agreement or affect any enforcement action by HUD.

4. In the event that Borrower is itself the licensed operator of the Healthcare Facility and HUD determines that (i) any of the Permits and Approvals have been or are at substantial and imminent risk of being terminated, suspended or otherwise restricted in such a way that the Project could not be operated for the Approved Use, as evidenced by, without limitation, letters of warning or imposition of penalties from applicable state and/or federal regulatory and/or funding agencies, or (ii) the financial viability of the Healthcare Facility is at substantial and imminent risk, then, pursuant to Program Obligations and without prejudice to any enforcement actions otherwise set forth in this Agreement, HUD may direct Borrower to retain the services of an operator acceptable to HUD. Upon such direction from HUD, Borrower shall expeditiously do so.

5. Without prior approval of HUD, the Operator Lease, if any, and/or the Master Lease, if any, shall not and may not be amended to, contain any provisions that convey an ownership interest in the Project to Operator or Master Tenant, as applicable, or grant Operator or Master Tenant, as applicable, a bargain purchase option during or after the lease term. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Borrower from granting an Operator or Master Tenant, as applicable, an option to purchase the Project on arms-length negotiated terms, provided that such terms do not cause the Operator Lease to be characterized as something other than an “operating lease” for accounting purposes and provided such option provides that the exercising of same is subject to the prior satisfaction of applicable Program Obligations, including those relating to the transfer of physical assets.

2. Personal Property; Security Interests. Borrower shall suitably equip, or cause to be equipped, the Project for the Approved Use. Except as otherwise approved in writing by HUD, Borrower shall grant to Lender and HUD a first lien security interest in all personal property of Borrower related to the Project as additional security for the obligations of Borrower under the Note, the Borrower Security Instrument and this Agreement. Such security interest shall be evidenced by such security agreements as Lender and/or HUD may require and, in connection therewith, Borrower shall execute or cause to be executed and delivered such deposit account control agreements as may be required by Lender and/or HUD. Borrower hereby authorizes each of Lender and HUD to file such UCC financing statements, amendments, and continuation statements as either of them may deem to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the foregoing security interests. Borrower shall not be permitted to grant any other liens on any of the Mortgaged Property without the prior written approval of Lender and HUD.

2. Professional Liability Insurance. Borrower shall maintain, or cause Operator or any lessee or management agent to maintain, professional liability insurance that complies with the applicable requirements of HUD. Annually, Borrower shall provide, or cause Operator or any lessee or management agent to provide, to HUD and Lender, a certification of compliance with such professional liability insurance requirements as evidenced by an Acord or certified copy of the insurance policy.

2. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS. If, in addition to or in lieu of any Borrower-Operator Agreement, Borrower enters into a property management agreement or other document outlining procedures for managing the Healthcare Facility (“Management Agreement”), such agreement or document must be approved by HUD, must include HUD-92071-ORCF, Management Agreement Addendum, and must be consistent with Program Obligations. Any management agent must be approved by HUD and must execute and deliver a Management Agent Certification – Residential Care Facilities (form HUD-9839-ORCF, or successor form) in such form as approved by HUD.

2. ACCEPTABILITY OF MANAGEMENT OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY. Borrower shall provide management of the Mortgaged Property in a manner consistent with Program Obligations and acceptable to HUD. Borrower shall take such actions as shall cause the Project to conform to Program Obligations.

2. TERMINATION OF CONTRACTS. Except as otherwise permitted by HUD, any contract pertaining to the Project with a vendor having an identity of interest with the Borrower and/or Operator, as determined by HUD pursuant to Program Obligations, shall provide: (1) in the event of a default under this Agreement, any Master Tenant Regulatory Agreement, or the Operator Regulatory Agreement, the contract shall be subject to termination without penalty and without cause upon written request by HUD, within thirty (30) days notice of such termination; and (2) in the event that HUD determines that any of the Permits and Approvals are at substantial and imminent risk of being terminated, suspended or otherwise restricted so as to have a material adverse effect on the Project, the contract shall be subject to termination immediately without penalty and without cause upon written request by HUD. Upon such request by HUD, Borrower shall immediately arrange to terminate the contract, or cause Operator to terminate the contract, and Borrower shall also make arrangements, or cause Operator to make arrangements, satisfactory to HUD for continuing acceptable services to the Project effective as of the termination date of the contract.

2. MANAGEMENT AGENT. In the event that a management agent is or will be the holder of the Healthcare Facility license or is or will be the payee under one or more third-party payor agreements with respect to the Healthcare Facility, such management agent will be treated as an Operator in accordance with Program Obligations.

2. COMMERCIAL (NON-RESIDENTIAL) LEASES. No portion of the Project shall be leased for any commercial purpose or use without receiving HUD’s prior written approval as to terms, form and amount, except for commercial leases for support or ancillary services which are subordinate to the Borrower Security Instrument, have terms of not more than five (5) years and otherwise comply with Program Obligations. Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, an executed copy of any commercial lease to HUD and Lender within thirty (30) days after its effective date.

2. NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND EVENT OF DEFAULT.

1. At any time during the existence of a Violation, HUD may give written notice of such Violation to Borrower (the “Violation Notice”), addressed to the addresses stated in this Agreement, or such other addresses as may subsequently, upon appropriate written Notice to HUD and Lender, be designated by Borrower as its legal business address. Borrower shall have thirty (30) days to cure, or cause to be cured, any Violation described in the Violation Notice, provided that HUD shall extend such thirty (30) day period by such time as HUD may reasonably determine is necessary to correct the Violation for so long as, HUD determines, in its discretion, that: (i) Borrower is timely satisfying all payment obligations in the Loan Documents; (ii) none of the Permits and Approvals is at substantial and imminent risk of being terminated; (iii) such violation cannot reasonably be corrected during such thirty (30) day period, but can reasonably be corrected in a timely manner, and (iv) Borrower, Master Tenant, (if a Master Lease is then in effect with such Master Tenant, or Operator commences to correct such Violation, or cause such correction to be commenced, during such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and continuously proceeds to correct, or cause correction of, such Violation. If, after delivery of such Violation Notice and applicable cure period, the Violation is not corrected to the satisfaction of HUD, HUD may declare an Event of Default under this Agreement without further Notice. Alternatively, if necessary in HUD’s determination to protect the health and safety of the tenants or the financial or operational viability of the Healthcare Facility, HUD may declare an Event of Default at any time during the existence of a Violation without providing prior written notice of the Violation.

2. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, if HUD determines at any time that any of the Permits and Approvals are at substantial and imminent risk of being terminated, suspended or otherwise restricted if such termination, suspension, or other restriction would have a materially adverse effect on the Project, including without limitation, HUD’s determination that there is a substantial risk that deficiencies identified by applicable state and/or federal regulatory and/or funding agencies cannot be cured in such manner and within such time periods as would avoid the loss, suspension, or diminution of any of the Permits and Approvals that would have a materially adverse effect on the Project, or if HUD determines at any time that, as a result of a Violation, the value of the Mortgaged Property is at substantial and imminent risk of material adverse diminution, then HUD may immediately (without thirty (30) days notice) declare an Event of Default of this Agreement and may immediately proceed to take actions to pursue its remedies.

3. Upon any declaration of an Event of Default, HUD may:

1. If HUD holds the Note, declare the whole of the Indebtedness immediately due and payable and then proceed with the foreclosure of the Borrower Security Instrument or otherwise dispose of HUD’s interest in the Note and the Borrower Security Instrument pursuant to Program Obligations;

2. If the Note is not held by HUD, notify the holder of the Note of such default and require the holder to declare a default under the Note and the Borrower Security Instrument, and the holder after receiving such Notice and demand, shall declare the whole of the Indebtedness due and payable and thereupon proceed with foreclosure of the Borrower Security Instrument and/or the exercise of other remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, or assign the Note and the Borrower Security Instrument to HUD as provided in Program Obligations.

3.

5. Apply to any court, state or federal, for specific performance of this Agreement, for an injunction against any Violations of this Agreement, for the appointment of a receiver to take over and operate the Project in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or for such other relief as may be appropriate, as the injury to HUD arising from a default under any of the terms of this Agreement would be irreparable and the amount of damage would be difficult to ascertain; and,

6. Collect reasonable attorney fees related to enforcing Borrower’s compliance with this Agreement.

7. In non-identity of interest cases, Landlord and/or Master Tenant shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to enforce their rights against Master Tenant or Subtenant in the event of a Lease or Sublease default, to avoid a mortgage insurance claim.

4. Any forbearance by HUD in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise afforded by applicable law shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy.

5. If at any time the Project is subject to a Master Lease, such Master Lease shall be subordinated to the Loan Documents pursuant to the then applicable HUD form of Master Lease Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (a “Master Lease SNDA”) or a Master Lease Subordination Agreement, as determined by HUD in accordance with Program Obligations. HUD agrees to honor (a) the provisions of Sections 4 and 7 of any Master Lease SNDA, and (b) the provisions of Section 5 of the Master Lease SNDA or Master Lease Subordination Agreement, insofar as such sections call for HUD’s consent for the release of the Project from the Master Lease and/or the Loan Documents, on the terms and subject to the limitations set forth in such sections.

2. MEASURE OF DAMAGES. The damage to HUD as a result of Borrower’s breach of duties and obligations under this Agreement shall be, in the case of failure to maintain, or cause to be maintained, the Project as required by this Agreement, the cost of the repairs required to return the Project to decent, safe and sanitary condition and good repair.

EXHIBIT C

ADDENDUM TO REGULATORY AGREEMENT

Borrower’s Obligation to Maintain Project’s Energy Performance

as Consideration for MIP Reduction

For and in consideration of the reduction in mortgage insurance premiums and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Borrower and HUD agree as follows:

To the extent that any provisions of this Addendum conflict with any provisions of the Regulatory Agreement, the provisions of this Addendum shall prevail. Any provisions in the Regulatory Agreement not in conflict with this Addendum remain in full force and effect. Any capitalized terms not defined in this Addendum shall have the meaning given in the Regulatory Agreement.

1. Definitions

The following terms shall be added to Section 1 (Definitions) of the Regulatory Agreement

1. “Green Standard” means an industry recognized standard of building design, construction, renovation, and maintenance procedures that results in minimized consumption of non-renewable energy sources and optimum use of sustainable materials, resources, and methods and that is acceptable to HUD.

2. “Portfolio Manager®” means the free software tool provided by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the purpose of reporting and scoring utility consumption for common types of facilities in the built environment including the Healthcare Facility, and any successor or amended tool as EPA may from time to time provide.

3. “Statement of Energy Performance (SEP)” means a particular report produced by Portfolio Manager^® available in various formats providing utility consumption data for 12-month periods with stabilized operations and comparing the energy consumption per square foot of the Healthcare Facility to a fixed sample of similar properties by means of an index score, and any successor or amended report providing an index score for the subject Healthcare Facility.

4. “ENERGY STAR® Score” means the 1 to 100 index score produced by Portfolio Manager and reported on the SEP comparing the energy performance of the Healthcare Facility to a sample of other similar properties.

5. “HUD Custom SEP or SEDI” is a format of the SEP or SEDI which will be required in a format acceptable to ORCF.

6. “Qualified Energy Professional” is a person or firm qualified by education and experience as described in Program Obligations.

7. “Statement of Energy Design Intent (SEDI)” is a report that provides an overview of metrics, including the predicted ENERGY STAR score for a building that is yet to be constructed.

2. Borrower’s Election to Achieve a Green Standard for the Project

Borrower has elected and hereby agrees to diligently pursue and achieve a Green Standard in accordance with HUD’s Announcement published on May 19, 2022 (FR-6302-N-01)) and entitled “Changes in Certain Office of Healthcare Programs Insurance Premiums.”

The selected Green Standard is: (choose one, X)

X	Choose One:
	Enterprise Green Communities Criteria
	U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED-Home
	U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Lowrise
	U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED-H Midrise
	U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED-Highrise
	U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED-NC
	U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Healthcare Facilities
	EarthCraft Multifamily
	Earth Advantage Multifamily
	National Green Building Standard (NGBS)
	Living Building Challenge Certification from the International Living Future Institute
	Passive Building Certification or EnerPHit Retrofits certification from the Passive House Institute US (PHIUS), International Passive House Association, or the Passive House Institute
	Other (Specify)-must be approved by ORCF. See below for details on Minimum Performance Improvement for Non-Recognized Certifications, which are the same as the requirements for Recognized Certifications.):

Each Green Standard establishes milestones and/or performance levels to be met and procedures to evidence successful completion or achievement of the milestones or levels of performance. Lender or HUD may request from time to time and Borrower shall provide status reports of the completion or achievement of the milestones or levels of performance. When all requirements are met, the Borrower shall provide the Lender and ensure that HUD receives evidence satisfactory to HUD of the achievement of the selected Green Standard. When such achievement is contingent on completion of construction, repairs, or alterations, then evidence, as defined by the Green Standard, that the completion of work is consistent with the Green Standard must be provided to Lender and HUD within three months of the completion of work.

Minimum Performance Improvement for Certifications. For new construction and substantial rehabilitation (of properties with no benchmarked recent history) the certification must require designed building performance that achieves not less than a 25% reduction in estimated energy use (not energy costs) by comparison with the energy use estimated for the same structures if built to the State or HUDs minimum energy codes (whichever is more stringent). For existing buildings, the certification must require a reduction in energy use (not energy cost) of not less than 15% by comparison with the benchmarked energy use as defined in the initial SEP submitted with the application for mortgage insurance.

All Green MIP applications are expected to reduce water consumption (not water costs) by 10%.

3. 1-100 ENERGY STAR^® Score

After, and in addition to, meeting the selected Green Standard, Borrower agrees to pursue, achieve, and maintain a minimum score of 75 or better on the 1-100 ENERGY STAR^® score, using a Statement of Energy Performance from EPA's Portfolio Manager^®. Borrower agrees that each score shall be verified in writing by the independent conclusion of a Qualified Energy Professional and provided to the Lender and HUD as detailed in Green MIP program guidance. When achievement of the Green Standard is contingent on completion of construction, the time when the as-improved SEP must be delivered varies as follows:

1. For new construction or substantial rehabilitation projects, the required ENERGY STAR^® score shall be provided to HUD not later than 24-months following the achievement of break-even occupancy.

2. For projects acquired or refinanced under the National Housing Act with repairs and alterations, the required ENERGY STAR^® score shall be provided to HUD not later than 24-months following completion of the repairs and alterations.

4. Borrower’s Obligation to Maintain Energy Performance after Initial Achievement

5. The Borrower shall maintain, repair, and replace components as necessary to retain the minimum performance score for the life of the insured Green MIP mortgage.

After meeting the requirements of Sections 2 and 3 above, evidencing the achievement of the selected Green Standard and the as-improved SEP, Borrower (in a manner prescribed in Program Guidance) agrees to provide to HUD annually on the anniversary date of the as-improved SEP, without request, evidence of the continuing energy performance of the Healthcare Facility by submitting an annual SEP, each prepared or verified by an Energy Professional. Borrower covenants and agrees to achieve a score of 75 or better on each annual SEP.

6. Borrower agrees to comply with Green MIP Program Guidance. 

7. Enforcement

Any failure by Borrower to comply with any of the provisions of this Addendum shall constitute a “Violation” under the Regulatory Agreement and will be subject to enforcement action as set forth in Section 36 of the Regulatory Agreement.
