If any member,  officer or  employee  of  a  corporation  which  is an eligible borrower owns or controls an interest, direct or indirect, in any property included in  a project  which  was  acquired prior to his appointment or employment, he shall disclose  such  interest  and  the  date  of  acquisition  to  the corporation  and  such  disclosure  shall be entered upon the minutes of such corporation and a copy of such minutes shall be  forwarded  to  the commissioner;  (h)  that  all  income  and earnings of the eligible borrower shall be used exclusively for its corporate purposes;  (i) that no part of the net income  or  earnings  of  the  corporation shall  inure to the benefit or profit of any private individual, firm or corporation;  (j) such other matters as the commissioner or the agency may require.   2. This regulatory agreement shall terminate at  any  time  after  the expiration  of  twenty  years  after the occupancy date, or such earlier date as the bonds issued by the agency  with  respect  to  the  hospital project  are subject to redemption, upon the consent of the commissioner and upon the repayment in full of all obligations due to the agency  and of such other obligations as the commissioner may require.
