lien upon the Housing and upon such other real property of the Borrower 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
Borrower, and containing other terms and conditions prescribed by the Government. The Borrower is 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.

400-1 entitled "Equal Opportunity Agreement", including an "Equal Opportunity Clause" to be incorporated in or attached as a rider
to each construction contract that exceeds $10,000 and any part of which is paid for with funds from the loan, and (c) Form RD
400-4, entitled ''Assurance Agreement (under Title VI, Civil Rights Act of 1964),'' a copy of which is attached and made a part
hereof, and any other undertakings and agreements required by the Government pursuant to lawful authority.
