Insurance of additional mortgages (a) Authorization In addition to mortgages insured under sec- tion 1750b of this title, the Secretary is author- ized to insure mortgages as defined in section 1750 of this title (including advances on such mortgages during construction) which are eligi- ble for insurance as hereinafter provided. (b) Eligibility requirements; release of part of property To be eligible for insurance under this section a mortgage shall meet the following conditions: (1) The mortgaged property shall be held by a mortgagor approved by the Secretary. The Secretary may, in his discretion, require such mortgagor to be regulated or restricted as to rents or sales, charges, capital structure, rate of return, and methods of operation. The Sec- retary may make such contracts with, and ac- quire for not to exceed $100 stock or interest in any such mortgagor, as the Secretary may deem necessary to render effective such re- striction or regulation. Such stock or interest shall be paid for out of the General Insurance Fund, and shall be redeemed by the mortgagor at par upon the termination of all obligations of the Secretary under the insurance. (2) The mortgage shall involve a principal obligation in an amount— (A) not to exceed $5,000,000; and (B) not to exceed 90 per centum of the amount which the Secretary estimates will be the value of the property or project when the proposed improvements are completed: Provided, That such mortgage shall not in any event exceed the amount which the Sec- retary estimates will be the cost of the com- pleted physical improvements on the prop- erty or project exclusive of off-site public utilities and streets and organization and legal expenses; and (C) not to exceed $8,100 per family unit (or $7,200 per family unit if the number of rooms in such property or project does not equal or exceed four per family unit) for such part of such property or project as may be attrib- utable to dwelling use: Provided, That the Secretary may by regulation increase such dollar amount limitations by not exceeding $900 in any geographical area where he finds that cost levels so require. (3) The mortgagor shall enter into the agree- ment required by section 1715r of this title. The mortgage shall provide for complete amor- tization by periodic payments within such term as the Secretary shall prescribe, and shall bear interest (exclusive of premium charges for insur- ance) at not to exceed 41⁄2 per centum per annum on the amount of the principal obligation out- standing at any time. The Secretary may con- sent to the release of a part or parts of the mort- gaged property from the lien of the mortgage upon such terms and conditions as he may pre- scribe and the mortgage may provide for such release. (c) Default; debentures; cash adjustment; certifi- cate of claim The mortgagee shall be entitled to receive de- bentures in connection with mortgages insured under this section in the amount and under the conditions specified in subsection (g) of section 1713 of this title, and the references in said sub- section (g) to the cash adjustment provided for in subsection (j) of section 1713 and to the cer- tificate of claim provided for in subsection (h) of section 1713 shall be deemed to refer respectively to the cash adjustment provided for in sub- section (c) of section 1750c of this title and to the certificate of claim provided for in sub- section (d) of this section. (d) Certificate of claim; contents and payment The certificate of claim issued by the Sec- retary to any mortgagee under this section shall be for an amount determined in accordance with, and shall contain provisions and shall be paid in accordance with, the provisions of sec- tion 1713(h) of this title.
