    2. includes no more than four units
    3. includes no more than one unit that is used for non-residential purposes
  2. the syndicated mortgage does not secure a debt obligation incurred for the construction or development of property
  3. At the time the syndicated mortgage is arranged, the amount of the debt it secures, together with all other debt secured by mortgages on the property that have priority over, or the same priority as, the syndicated mortgage, assuming in all cases that the maximum amounts of any such mortgages are fully drawn, does not exceed 90 per cent of the fair market value of the property relating to the mortgage, excluding any value that may be attributed to proposed or pending development of the property.
  4. the syndicated mortgage cannot be subordinated to future financing without the consent of each lender
  5. there is no existing agreement that requires any lender of the syndicated mortgage to consent to future subordination of the syndicated mortgage
  6. no person has the ability to consent to future subordination of the syndicated mortgage on behalf of the lenders of the syndicated mortgage without obtaining the consent of each lender. O. Reg. 695/20, s. 1 (4).
