17 17 Resolution of Outstanding Issues 6. Replacement Refundings Focus on New Mortgage Originations For the purposes of this Program, the objective of a replacement refunding should be to carry forward unused volume cap from preexisting issues of bonds into a new issue of bonds, resulting in new mortgage originations. Use of Market Bonds For the purposes of this Program, Market Bond proceeds may be used for: a.replacement refundings, b.absorbing any economic refunding associated with replacement refundings, and c.refunding previously issued bonds, the proceeds from which have been partially invested in mortgage loans.

18 18 Resolution of Outstanding Issues 6. Replacement Refundings (cont) Use of Program Bonds Based on the parameters described, Program Bond proceeds may be used for replacement refundings only if: a.all Market Bond proceeds have first been applied to replacement refundings, and b.Program Bond proceeds applied to replacement refundings are exclusively for the origination of new mortgages.

(6) Prior to and as a condition to each withdrawal, the Issuer shall provide a written certification to the GSEs and to Treasury specifying the amount and purpose of the withdrawal and that the requirements of this subpart (b) have been met with respect to such withdrawal.
