provided in such bond and mortgage or note and mortgage and contract but
in no case to exceed the probable life of the multiple dwelling which is
hereby determined to be thirty years. Such bond and mortgage or note and
mortgage and the contract in connection with such permanent and
temporary loans may contain such other terms and provisions not
inconsistent with the provisions of this article as the local
legislative body or the agency may deem necessary or desirable to secure
repayment of the loan, the interest thereon and other charges in
connection therewith and to carry out the purposes and provisions of
this article; notwithstanding the foregoing, a loan made prior to
January first, nineteen hundred seventy-eight may, in the discretion of
the agency, be extended to a term up to forty-five years. The agency may
modify the rate and time of payment of interest on the original loan and
the rate and time of amortization of principal in such manner as

2-c. If a loan pursuant to this article is made to a non-profit
company or a housing development fund company which agrees to provide
housing accommodations exclusively for persons and families of low
income, at least thirty percent of whom are referred to it by the
municipality and have prior to their initial occupancy in such
accommodations resided in emergency shelter facilities operated by or on
behalf of the municipality, the agency may provide that the note and
mortgage shall automatically be reduced to zero in five equal annual
decrements commencing on the tenth year after the initial occupancy
date, provided that such accommodations have been owned and operated in
a manner consistent with an agreement with the municipality contained in
such note and mortgage to provide housing for such persons.
3. The bond or note issued by the owner of such multiple dwelling and
the mortgage relating thereto may authorize such owner, with the consent
of the agency, to prepay the principal of the loan subject to such terms
and conditions as therein provided. Such bond or note and mortgage may
contain such other clauses and provisions as the agency shall require.
4. The agency may charge the owner of such multiple dwelling
reasonable fees for financing, regulation, supervision and audit. Such
fees shall be kept by the municipality in a separate fund to be known as
the housing rehabilitation fund and shall be used to pay for the
expenses of the municipality in administering and carrying out the
provisions of this article.
5. Whenever reference is made in this article to a municipal loan, a
loan by a municipality, a loan from a municipality, a contract for a
loan between a municipality and an owner, or any similar term, with
respect to the territorial limits of the city of New York such terms
shall be construed to refer to a loan made or to be made either by such
municipality or by the New York city housing development corporation,
whichever is applicable.
6. The bond and mortgage or note and mortgage issued by the owner of
any such multiple dwelling may provide that the loan shall be reduced to
zero commencing on the fifteenth year after the execution of the bond
and mortgage or note and mortgage, provided that, as of the date of any
such reduction, the multiple dwelling has been and continues to be owned
and operated in a manner consistent with a regulatory agreement with the
municipality. Notwithstanding such provision as contained in the bond
and mortgage or note and mortgage, the loan shall be reduced to zero
only if, prior to or simultaneously with delivery of such bond and
mortgage or note and mortgage, the agency made a written determination
that such reduction would be necessary to ensure the continued
affordability or economic viability of the multiple dwelling. Such
written determination shall document the basis upon which the loan was
determined to be eligible for evaporation.
