(2) The authority shall determine the interest rate and repayment period of the loan.

(3) The loan must be evidenced by note of the borrower, and secured by a mortgage on the project for which the loan was made, subordinate only to the mortgage securing the first lien obligation issued to secure the commitment of funds provided to pay the cost of the project from the independent and responsible sources, and used in the financing of the project.
