(a) To a lien, encumbrance, or regulatory agreement under a federal or state program when a federal or state agency is providing financing, refinancing, or other assistance to the housing units or parcels, if the federal or state agency refuses to consent to the seniority of the authority’s covenant or restriction on the basis that it is required to maintain its lien, encumbrance, or regulatory agreement or restrictions due to statutory or regulatory requirements, adopted or approved policies, or other guidelines pertaining
to the financing, refinancing, or other assistance of the housing units or parcels.
(b) To a lien, encumbrance, or regulatory agreement of a lender other than the authority or from a bond issuance providing financing, refinancing, or other assistance of owner-occupied units or parcels where the authority makes a finding that an economically feasible alternative method of financing, refinancing, or assisting the units or parcels on substantially comparable terms and conditions, but without subordination, is not reasonably available.

rehabilitation of the rental units.
(d) To a lien, encumbrance, or regulatory agreement of a lender other than the authority or from a bond issuance providing financing, refinancing, or other assistance of rental units or parcels where the authority makes a finding that an economically feasible alternative method of financing, refinancing, or assisting the units or parcels on substantially comparable terms and conditions, but without subordination, is not reasonably available, and where the authority obtains written commitments reasonably designed to protect the authority’s investment in the event of default, including, but not limited to, any of the following:
(1) A right of the authority to cure a default on the loan.
