Project Costs Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall disclose to the Department all of the Project Costs which the Company seeks to include for purposes of determining the limitation of the amount of the Credit pursuant to Section 5-30 of the Act and provide to the Department a Schedule of Project Costs in the form as attached hereto as Exhibit C.
Project Cost Overruns In the event that the Recipient determines that the moneys granted pursuant to Section II hereof, together with the Local Subdivision Contribution, are insufficient to pay in full the costs of the Project, the Recipient may make a request for supplemental assistance to its District Committee. The Recipient must demonstrate that such funding is necessary for the completion of the Project and the cost overrun was the result of circumstances beyond the Recipient's control, that it could not have been avoided with the exercise of due care, and that such circumstances could not have been anticipated at the time of the Recipient's initial application. Should the District Committee approve such request the action shall be recorded in the District Committee's official meeting minutes and provided to the OPWC Director for the execution of an amendment to this Agreement.
Project Fund (a) All proceeds of the Governmental Lender Notes provided by the Funding Lender shall be deposited to the Note Proceeds Account or Capitalized Interest Account of the Project Fund and disbursed as herein provided. The Fiscal Agent shall disburse moneys in the Note Proceeds Account of Project Fund for the acquisition, construction and equipping of the Project, to pay other Qualified Project Costs and to pay other costs related to the Project as provided herein as requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Written Requisition in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. All funds deposited by or on behalf of the Borrower for credit to the Borrower Equity Account Project Fund shall be disbursed as requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Written Requisition in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. Before any payment shall be made from the Project Fund, the Regulatory Agreement shall have been executed and submitted to a title company for recordation in the official records of Travis County, Texas, and there shall be filed with the Fiscal Agent a Written Requisition of the Borrower substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and approved by the Funding Lender pursuant to the terms, conditions and provisions of the Construction Funding Agreement. In addition to the above, in connection with a Written Requisition:
(1) Only the signature of an Authorized Representative of the Funding Lender shall be required on a Written Requisition during any period in which Borrower Loan Agreement Default has occurred and is then continuing under the Borrower Loan Documents (Written Notice of which default has been given by an Authorized Representative of the Funding Lender to the Fiscal Agent and the Governmental Lender, and the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such Written Notice as to the occurrence and continuation of such a default).
(2) The Fiscal Agent shall disburse amounts in the Project Fund for the payment of interest due on the Governmental Lender Note upon receipt from the Funding Lender of a statement detailing the amount due (and without the need for a Written Requisition signed by the Funding Lender or any approval by an Authorized Representative of the Borrower).
(3) The Fiscal Agent may conclusively rely on all Written Requisitions, the execution of the Written Requisitions by the Authorized Representative of the Borrower and the approval of all Written Requisitions by the Authorized Representative of the Funding Lender, as required by this Section, as conditions of payment from the Project Fund, which Written Requisitions constitute, as to the Fiscal Agent, irrevocable determinations that all conditions to payment of the specified amounts from the Project Fund have been satisfied. These documents shall be retained by the Fiscal Agent, subject at all reasonable times to examination by the Borrower, the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender and the agents and representatives thereof upon reasonable notice to the Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent is not required to inspect the Project or the construction work or to make any independent investigation with respect to the matters set forth in any Written Requisition or other statements, orders, certifications and approvals received by the Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent is not required to obtain completion bonds, lien releases or otherwise supervise the acquisition, construction, renovation, equipping, improvement and installation of the Project.
(b) Upon receipt of each Written Requisition submitted by the Borrower and Approved in Writing by the Funding Lender, the Fiscal Agent shall promptly, but in any case within three Business Days, make payment from the appropriate account within the Project Fund in accordance with such Written Requisition. The Fiscal Agent shall have no duty to determine whether any requested disbursement from the Note Proceeds Account of the Project Fund complies with the terms, conditions and provisions of the Funding Loan Documents, constitutes payment of Qualified Project Costs or complies with the other representations in the Written Requisition. The Approval in Writing of a Written Requisition by the Funding Lender shall be deemed a certification and, insofar as the Fiscal Agent is concerned, shall constitute conclusive evidence that all of the terms, conditions and requirements of the Funding Loan Documents applicable to such disbursement have been fully satisfied or waived and the Written Requisition from the Borrower shall, insofar as the Fiscal Agent is concerned, constitute conclusive evidence that the costs described in the Written Requisition constitute Qualified Project Costs or other permitted Project costs.
(c) Moneys on deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account of the Project Fund, together with investment earnings thereon, which shall be retained therein, shall be transferred to the Governmental Lender Note Payment Fund and applied pursuant to Section 7.4 on each Borrower Loan Payment Date to the extent necessary to enable the Fiscal Agent to pay interest due on the Funding Loan on such date; provided that, upon receipt of a Written Direction of the Borrower, moneys on deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account of the Project Fund shall be transferred to the Servicer on the date when due under the Borrower Note in an amount as set forth in such Written Direction, which amount shall represent the Borrower Loan Payment due at such time. Upon the request of the Fiscal Agent, the Servicer shall provide the Fiscal Agent with a schedule of the Borrower Loan Payment Dates and corresponding Borrower Loan Payment amounts. The transfer of moneys from the Capitalized Interest Account of the Project Fund to the Governmental Lender Note Payment Fund or the Servicer as set forth above shall occur automatically without the need for a Written Requisition of the Borrower, or consent of the Funding Lender. After the Closing Date, the Borrower, with the written consent of the Funding Lender, may deposit additional funds into the Capitalized Interest Account.
(d) Immediately prior to any mandatory prepayment of the Governmental Lender Notes pursuant to the terms hereof, any amounts then remaining in the Project Fund shall, at the Written Direction of the Funding Lender, be transferred to the Governmental Lender Note Payment Fund to be applied to the prepayment of the Governmental Lender Notes pursuant hereto.
(e) Amounts on deposit in the Project Fund shall be invested in Permitted Investments at the Written Direction of the Borrower. Investment income earned on amounts on deposit in each account of the Project Fund shall be retained in and credited to and become a part of the amounts on deposit in that account of the Project Fund.
(f) Amounts on deposit in the Governmental Lender Note Payment Fund, Expense Fund and Closing Costs Fund shall be invested in Permitted Investments at the Written Direction of the Borrower. The Fiscal Agent shall have no discretion for investing funds or advising any party on investing funds. Investment income earned on amounts on deposit in each account of the Governmental Lender Note Payment Fund, Expense Fund and Closing Costs Fund shall be retained in and credited to and become a part of the amounts on deposit in that account of the Governmental Lender Note Payment Fund, Expense Fund and Closing Costs Fund. In the absence of Written Direction from the Borrower, such amounts shall be invested by the Fiscal Agent only in investments described in (e) of the definition of Permitted Investments. The Fiscal Agent is authorized to implement its automated cash investment system to assure that cash on hand is invested and to charge its normal cash management fees, which may be deducted from income earned on investments. The Fiscal Agent shall not be liable for any losses (including, specifically depreciation of value) resulting from investments made in Permitted Investments. The Fiscal Agent shall not be responsible for the Governmental Lender Notes becoming "arbitrage bonds" as defined in the Code when it makes investments pursuant to the terms hereof. The Fiscal Agent may make any and all investments permitted under this Funding Loan Agreement through its own trust or banking department or any Affiliate and may pay said department reasonable, customary fees for placing such investments. The Fiscal Agent and its Affiliates may act as principal, agent, sponsor, advisor or depository with respect to Permitted Investments under this Funding Loan Agreement. The Fiscal Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss which may result from any investment or sale of investment made pursuant to this Funding Loan Agreement. The Fiscal Agent is hereby authorized in making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Funding Loan Agreement, to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its affiliates, whether it or any such affiliate is acting as agent of the Fiscal Agent or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account. The Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender and the Borrower acknowledge that the Fiscal Agent is not providing investment supervision, recommendations, or advice. The Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender and the Borrower (by its execution of the Borrower Loan Agreement) acknowledge that to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory entity grant the Governmental Lender or the Funding Lender the right to receive brokerage confirmations of security transactions as they occur, the Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender will not receive such confirmations to the extent permitted by law. The Fiscal Agent shall furnish the Borrower, the Funding Lender and the Governmental Lender (to the extent requested by such parties) periodic cash transaction statements which shall detail for all investment transactions, if any, made by the Fiscal Agent hereunder.
(g) Unless otherwise approved by the Governmental Lender and the Funding Lender, any amounts representing proceeds of the Funding Loan remaining on deposit in any fund or account held under this Funding Loan Agreement on the Outside Conversion Date, shall be immediately transferred to the Funding Loan Payment Account and used to prepay the Governmental Lender Notes.
Disbursements to Contractors to Pay Costs of the Project The Recipient shall require that as work on the Project and as specified in its contract is performed a Contractor shall promptly submit a detailed project specific invoice to the Project Manager. Within three (3) Business Days following receipt of such invoice from a Contractor, the Project Manager shall review the invoice and, if found to be accurate, shall so certify in writing, forwarding such certification together with a copy of the invoice to the Chief Fiscal Officer. Within five (5) Business Days following receipt of such invoice and certification from the Project Manager, the Chief Fiscal Officer shall conduct such reviews as he considers appropriate and, if he approves such invoice, shall submit to the Director a Disbursement Request together with the information and certifications required by this Section 6(b). The dollar amount set forth in the Disbursement Request shall be calculated based on the Participation Percentage as set forth originally in Appendix D of this Agreement or as may be adjusted from time to time to account for changed conditions in the project financing scheme. Within five (5) Business Days following receipt of the Disbursement Request and all required information and certifications, the Director shall, if such items are deemed by the Director to be accurate and completed, initiate a voucher in accordance with applicable State requirements for the payment of the amount set forth in the Disbursement Request. Upon receipt of a warrant from the Auditor of State drawn in connection with a voucher initiated in accordance with the terms of the preceding sentence, the Director shall forward it by regular first class United States mail or electronic funds transfer, to the contractor or other authorized recipient designated in the Disbursement Request. Prior to any disbursement from the Fund, the following documents shall be submitted to the Director by the Recipient:
(i) If the request is for disbursement to a Contractor, an invoice submitted to the Recipient by the Contractor which invoice requests payment of such sums in connection with its performance of the Project;
(ii) If the request is for disbursement to the Recipient pursuant to Paragraph (A)(4)(b) of Rule 164-1-22 of the Administrative Code, a xxxx of sale, paid invoice or other evidence satisfactory to the Director that payment of such sums has been made by the Recipient in connection with the portion of the Project for which payment is requested;
(iii) The Project Manager's certification pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Agreement;
(iv) The Disbursement Request Form and Certification in the form set forth as Appendix E of this Agreement properly executed by the Chief Fiscal Officer and the Chief Executive Officer; and
(v) Such other certificates, documents and other information as the Director may reasonably require. If the Director finds that the documents are in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement, the Director is authorized and directed to cause the disbursement of moneys from the Fund for payment of the identified Project costs. A copy of all such documents submitted to the Director shall be retained by the Director. The Recipient represents that the Project was initially constructed, installed or acquired by the Recipient no earlier than the execution date of this Agreement.
Statement of Actual Direct Expenses and Payment by Tenant Landlord shall give to Tenant within five (5) months following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the “Statement”) which shall state the Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due that is at least thirty (30) days thereafter, the full amount of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as “Estimated Direct Expenses,” as that term is defined in Section 4.4.2, below, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Direct Expenses than the actual Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses, Tenant shall receive a credit in the amount of Tenant’s overpayment against Rent next due under this Lease. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Article 4. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord such amount, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Direct Expenses than the actual Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days, deliver a check payable to Tenant in the amount of the overpayment. The provisions of this Section 4.4.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
Construction Contract; Cost Budget Prior to execution of a construction contract, Tenant shall submit a copy of the proposed contract with the Contractor for the construction of the Tenant Improvements, including the general conditions with Contractor (the “Contract”) to Landlord for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Following execution of the Contract and prior to commencement of construction, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a fully executed copy of the Contract for Landlord’s records. Prior to the commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and after Tenant has accepted all bids and proposals for the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a detailed breakdown, by trade, for all of Tenant’s Agents, of the final estimated costs to be incurred or which have been incurred in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements to be performed by or at the direction of Tenant or the Contractor (the “Construction Budget”), which costs shall include, but not be limited to, the costs of the Architect’s and Engineers’ fees and the Landlord Coordination Fee. The amount, if any, by which the total costs set forth in the Construction Budget exceed the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance is referred to herein as the “Over Allowance Amount”. In the event that an Over-Allowance Amount exists, then prior to the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall supply Landlord with cash in an amount equal to the Over-Allowance Amount. The Over-Allowance Amount shall be disbursed by Landlord prior to the disbursement of any of the then remaining portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, and such disbursement shall be pursuant to the same procedure as the Tenant Improvement Allowance. In the event that, after the total costs set forth in the Construction Budget have been delivered by Tenant to Landlord, the costs relating to the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements shall change, any additional costs for such design and construction in excess of the total costs set forth in the Construction Budget shall be added to the Over-Allowance Amount and the total costs set forth in the Construction Budget, and such additional costs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord immediately as an addition to the Over-Allowance Amount or at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall make payments for such additional costs out of its own funds, but Tenant shall continue to provide Landlord with the documents described in items (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of Section 2.2.2.1 of this Tenant Work Letter, above, for Landlord’s approval, prior to Tenant paying such costs. All Tenant Improvements paid for by the Over-Allowance Amount shall be deemed Landlord’s property under the terms of the Lease.
Disbursement of Tenant Improvement Allowance During the construction of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall make monthly disbursements of the Tenant Improvement Allowance for Tenant Improvement Allowance Items for the benefit of Tenant and shall authorize the release of monies for the benefit of Tenant as follows.
Project Cost An updated cost spreadsheet reflecting the current forecasted cost vs. the latest approved budget vs. the baseline budget should be included in this section. One way to track project cost is to show: (1) Baseline Budget, (2) Latest Approved Budget, (3) Current Forecasted Cost Estimate, (4) Expenditures or Commitments to Date, and (5) Variance between Current Forecasted Cost and Latest Approved Budget. Line items should include all significant cost centers, such as prior costs, right-of-way, preliminary engineering, environmental mitigation, general engineering consultant, section design contracts, construction administration, utilities, construction packages, force accounts/task orders, wrap-up insurance, construction contingencies, management contingencies, and other contingencies. The line items can be broken-up in enough detail such that specific areas of cost change can be sufficiently tracked and future improvements made to the overall cost estimating methodology. A Program Total line should be included at the bottom of the spreadsheet. Narratives, tables, and/or graphs should accompany the updated cost spreadsheet, basically detailing the current cost status, reasons for cost deviations, impacts of cost overruns, and efforts to mitigate cost overruns. The following information should be provided:
Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account (a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund (if any).

In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender's disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $100,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(e) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $100,000, (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender's judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
(f) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $5,000.00.
