(d)All loan documents must be satisfactory to SBA and must include a multi-party agreement among SBA, Lender, the pledgee, FTA and such other parties as SBA determines are necessary;
(e)The Lender must use the proceeds of the loan secured by the 7(a) loans only for financing 7(a) loans and for costs and expenses directly connected with the borrowing for which the loans are pledged;
(f)The Lender must remain the servicer of the loans and retain possession of all loan documents other than the original promissory notes;
(g)The Lender must deposit the original promissory notes at the FTA; and
