Reapply for or renegotiate its grant with the department for so long as the loan with the authority is outstanding; and
Not contract with any other entity, nonprofit corporation, corporation for profit, private person or firm for the operation of the facility without prior written permission of both the department and the authority.
The authority has the right to enter into further agreements with a grantee and require such further guarantees or securities as it may see fit prior to, or simultaneously with, the issuance of bonds or to refuse to issue bonds until such agreements or securities, in any form that the authority may elect, are agreed to or are obtained.

All pay requests shall be on vouchers approved by the authority, and payments to grantees shall be subject to audit at any time.
The authority shall require any type of security that it deems reasonable and necessary, including, but not limited to, a lien (deed of trust or mortgage) on the project; the authority shall be exempt from payment of indebtedness tax that would otherwise be due in connection with the perfection of the authority's lien.
