EXHIBIT 2 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR BOND COUNSEL FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING to discuss the transaction and what issues you feel are important, and to highlight any questions you may have. We would also promptly commence the necessary tax diligence, which is usually a long -lead item. In all cases, we would be familiar with SAHA's governing statutes and applicable regulations. With respect to documentation, our team would familiarize itself with SAHA's existing agreements, indentures and resolutions and discuss any suggested precedents for new documents. To the extent we feel it would be helpful, we would share alternative precedents and discuss their applicability. We generally try to circulate documents approximately three times during a transaction, encouraging comments from the group to be received by specific deadlines. We do find that the affordable housing community works well together and issues can be resolved collectively. We aim to prepare closing checklists as early as possible, to the extent another party has not done so (i.e., lender's counsel), to avoid any surprises as closing approaches. In connection with closing, we prepare deliverables and signature pages well in advance and provide a virtual closing room for all interested parties to review prior to closing. We will coordinate closely with SAHA and other stakeholders via regular consultations and updates throughout the process, ensuring all legal proceedings for bond issuance are meticulously prepared and reviewed. f.
