IV.background

Pursuant to the terms of the HAP Contract, the HAP Contract (including any interest in the HAP Contract or any payments under the HAP Contract) may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the contract administrator

The owner has advised the contract administrator that the owner wants to grant the lender a security interest in the HAP Contract, as security for a loan by the lender to the owner with respect to the project.

V.Consent to assignment as security

By execution of this consent to assignment as security, the contract administrator consents to the assignment as security of the HAP Contract by the owner to the lender as security for a loan by the lender to the owner with respect to the project.

The contract administrator consents to transfer of the lender’s security interest to successor secured parties.

VI.EFFECT OF CONSENT TO ASSIGNMENT

The contract administrator is not a party to the loan or the loan documents, nor to any assignment of the HAP Contract by the owner to the lender as security for the loan, nor to any transfer of the HAP contract or the loan by the lender. Issuance of the consent to assignment does not signify that HUD or the contract administrator has reviewed, approved or agreed to the terms of any financing or refinancing; to any term of the loan documents; or to the terms of any assignment of the HAP contract by the owner to the lender as security for the loan, or by the lender to any transferee of the loan.

The consent to assignment of the HAP Contract as security for the loan does not change the terms of the HAP Contract in any way, and does not change the rights or obligations of HUD, the contract administrator or the owner under the HAP Contract.

The creation or transfer of any security interest in the HAP Contract is limited to amounts payable under the HAP Contract in accordance with the terms of the HAP Contract..

VII.EXERCISE OF SECURITY INTEREST – Assignee assumption of HAP contract obligations

Notwithstanding the contract administrator’s grant of consent to assignment by the owner of a security interest in the HAP Contract to the lender as security for the loan, and to further transfer of such security interest to successor secured parties, the contract administrator’s execution of this consent does not constitute consent to a full assignment of the HAP contract to any entity, including the lender or any successor secured party.

A secured party may not exercise any rights or remedies against the contract administrator or HUD under the HAP Contract, and shall not have any right to receive housing assistance payments that may be payable to the owner under the HAP Contract, until and unless:

• The contract administrator has approved the secured party as successor to the owner pursuant to the HAP contract, and

• The secured party seeking to exercise such rights or remedies, or to receive such payments, has executed and delivered, in a form acceptable to the contract administrator in accordance with HUD requirements, an agreement by the assignee to comply with all the terms of the HAP Contract, and to assume all obligations of the owner under the HAP Contract.

VIII.PAYMENT TO SECURED PARTY

When a secured party notifies the contract administrator, in writing, that housing assistance payments payable pursuant to the HAP Contract should be directed to the secured party (in accordance with paragraph VII above), the contract administrator may make such payments to the secured party instead of the owner. In making such payments, the contract administrator is not required to consider or make any inquiry as to the existence of a default under the loan documents, but may rely on notice by the secured party; and any payments by the contract administrator to the secured party shall be credited against amounts payable by the contract administrator to the owner pursuant to the HAP Contract.

IX.When assignment is prohibited

The consent to assignment as security shall be void ab initio if HUD determines that any assignee, or any principal or interested party of the assignee, is debarred, suspended or subject to a limited denial of participation under 24 CFR part 24, or is listed on the U.S. General Services Administration list of parties excluded from Federal procurement or nonprocurement programs.
