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.
Investment Advisory Facilities The Sub-Adviser, at its expense, will furnish all necessary investment facilities, including salaries of personnel, required for it to execute its duties hereunder.
