SBA requires the following:

(a) The Lender must be in good standing with SBA as defined in §120.420(f) and determined by SBA in its discretion;

(c) In transactions requiring SBA's consent, all documentation must be satisfactory to SBA, including, if SBA determines it to be necessary, a multi-party agreement.
