III.7 Disbursement Limitations.

The following limitations apply to any Disbursement Requests:

(a) General . Disbursements for the payment of Project Costs in each category of cost in the Project Budget (as modified to the extent permitted under (c) below and subject to change per approved Change Orders under (b) below) will be limited to the amount shown for such category. Disbursements shall be made only to pay directly or reimburse the Borrower for Project Costs described in the Project Budget and actually incurred by the Borrower. The aggregate amount of disbursements for payment of Hard Costs will be further limited to the lesser of (a) the actual cost of work and labor done on the improvements and materials incorporated in the Project (or stored in accordance with subsection 3.5(c) above), exclusive of Retainage, or (b) the actual value, as determined by the Construction Monitor, of satisfactory work and labor done on the improvements and materials incorporated in the Project (or stored in accordance with Section 3.5(c) above), less Retainage, so long as the same would not otherwise subject the Borrower to claims of non-compliance with the terms of the Construction Documents. Disbursements withheld as Retainage will be advanced only upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.6 above provided Retainage may be released as provided for in the Construction Documents.

(b) Change Orders . The Borrower shall not execute, or permit the performance of work or the furnishing of materials pursuant to, any Change Order until such Change Order has been submitted by the Borrower to the Construction Monitor. The Construction Monitor will opine as to the appropriateness of the request and recommend whether such payment shall be disbursed. Following the execution of one or more Change Orders in an aggregate amount equal to or greater than $500,000, the Borrower shall obtain the consent of the Bondholder Representative with respect to any subsequently proposed Change Order, unless the amount of such proposed Change Order is within the Project Budget, including contingency. The Borrower shall procure appropriate amendments, if any, to any Performance and Payment Bonds in effect with respect to the Construction Contracts affected by any Change Order.

(c) Reallocation of Line Items . Line items may be reallocated within the Project Budget if the Borrower certifies that (i) sufficient funds remain in the line item from which the amount is to be reallocated to pay all Project Costs which may be paid from that line item; and (ii) there is no Project Costs Deficit, and, with respect to Hard Costs, such certification is reviewed and verified by the Construction Monitor.

(d) Revisions of Project Budget and Completion Schedule . The Borrower will use diligent efforts to complete the Project consistent with the Project Budget and Construction Schedule attached hereto. The Completion Date shall be evidenced by the filing of a certificate of the Borrower with the Trustee and Construction Monitor certifying the occurrence of the Completion Date. The Trustee shall have no obligation to monitor the occurrence of the Completion Date. If at any time the Borrower or the Construction Monitor reasonably determines that the completion of the Project will not occur in accordance with the Construction Schedule, the Borrower will deliver a written report to the Construction Monitor, with a copy to the Bondholder Representative, setting forth the reasons for such delay and the measures to be undertaken to complete the Project on the earliest practicable completion date (the “Revised

17

Page 20: Web view“Environmental Laws” means and includes any and all present and future federal, state or local laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, judgments

Project Completion Schedule”) and provide a revised Project Budget that reflects the impact of the Revised Project Completion Schedule. If the Construction Monitor determines that completion of the Project will not occur in accordance with the Revised Project Completion Schedule, and gives written notice of that conclusion to the Borrower, with a copy delivered to the Bondholder Representative, within sixty (60) days the Borrower shall provide to the Construction Monitor, with a copy to the Bondholder Representative, an analysis and recommendation of an independent construction scheduling consultant, acceptable to the Construction Monitor with Owner’s Construction Consultant being acceptable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Bondholder Representative or, if none, a majority of holders of the Bonds which consent may be based solely upon and the written approval of the Construction Monitor, the Borrower shall not materially amend the Project Budget or Construction Schedule (nor shall Construction Monitor approve any such changes or disbursements pursuant to such amended Project Budget or Construction Schedule) if such changes would materially increase Project Costs in excess of the original Project Budget attached hereto or would delay the Completion Date beyond the date set forth in the original Construction Schedule by more than sixty (60) days, except where required because of delays outside of the Borrower’s reasonable control, and in such case, only in accordance with this Section 3.7(d).

III.8 Compliance with Agreement.

The Construction Monitor shall not approve any Disbursement Request, and may instruct the Trustee not to fund a Disbursement Request, if the Borrower has not complied with the requirements of this Agreement.

III.9 Monthly Reports.

(a) No later than ten Business Days from (i) the date of each site inspection until the Project has received a certificate of occupancy, or (ii) the date from which Construction Monitor is in receipt of Borrower’s Disbursement Request and all supporting documentation as required in Section 3.5 herein, the Construction Monitor shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Bondholder Representative, a monthly construction report detailing the Project’s construction progress, compliance with plans, specifications, budgets and timelines, construction observations, and other pertinent issues or matters related to the Project’s construction.
