Item which is greater than the amount set forth for such category
in the applicable Budget Line Item. Borrower shall pay as they
become due all amounts set forth in the applicable Budget with
respect to costs to be paid for by Borrower.
7.3 Contingency Fund
. Each Budget shall contain a Budget Line Item designated for
the Contingency Fund. Borrower may from time to time request that
the Contingency Fund be reallocated to pay needed costs of
Construction for the Improvements identified in such Budget. Such
requests shall be subject to Lender’s written approval in its
reasonable discretion. Borrower agrees that the decision with
respect to utilizing portions of the Contingency Fund in order to
keep the Loan In Balance shall be made by Lender in its reasonable
discretion, and that Lender may require Borrower to make a
Deficiency Deposit even if funds remain in the Contingency
Fund.
7.4 Optional Method for
Payment of Interest . For Borrower’s benefit, if a
Budget for a Condominium Building Allocation or the Garage/Amenity
Allocation includes a Budget Line Item for interest payments,
Borrower hereby authorizes Lender from time to time, for the mutual
convenience of Lender and Borrower, to disburse Loan proceeds to
pay all the then accrued interest on the Note accrued with respect
to such Condominium Building Allocation or the Garage/Amenity
Allocation, regardless of whether Borrower shall have specifically
requested a disbursement of such amount. Any such disbursement, if
made, shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the
Note and shall, when disbursed, bear interest at the Daily LIBOR
Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, or Default Rate, as applicable.
The authorization hereby granted, however, shall not obligate
Lender to make disbursements of the Loan for interest payments
(except upon Borrower’s qualifying for and requesting
disbursement of that portion of the proceeds of the Loan allocated
for such purposes in the applicable Budget) nor prevent Borrower
from paying accrued interest from its own funds.

ARTICLE 8
SUFFICIENCY OF LOAN
8.1 Loan In Balance .
Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, it is expressly understood and agreed that each
Condominium Building Allocation and the Garage/Amenity Allocation
shall at all times be “In Balance”, on a Budget Line
Item and an aggregate basis. A Budget Line Item shall be deemed to
be “In Balance” only if Lender determines that the
amount of such Budget Line Item is sufficient for its intended
purpose. Each Condominium Building Allocation or the Garage/Amenity
Allocation shall be deemed to be “In Balance” in the
aggregate only when the total of the undisbursed portion of such
Condominium Building Allocation or the Garage/Amenity Allocation
less any Contingency Fund (subject to Borrower’s reallocation
rights under Section 7.2) equals or exceeds the aggregate of (a)
the costs required to complete the construction of the applicable
Condominium Building or garages and amenities in accordance with
the Plans and Specifications and the Budget for such Condominium
Building Allocation or the Garage/Amenity Allocation; (b) the
amounts to be paid as retainages to persons who have supplied labor
or materials to such Condominium Building or garages and amenities;
and (c) all other hard and soft costs not yet paid for in
connection with such Condominium Building or garages and amenities,
as such costs and amounts described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) may
be estimated and/or approved in writing by Lender from time to
time. Borrower agrees that if for any reason, in Lender’s
reasonable discretion, the amount of such undistributed Condominium
Building Allocation or the Garage/Amenity Allocation shall at any
time be or become insufficient for such purpose regardless of how
such condition may be caused, Borrower will, within ten (10) days
after written request by Lender, deposit the deficiency with Lender
(“Deficiency Deposit”). The Deficiency Deposit shall
first be exhausted before any further disbursement of such
Condominium Building Allocation or the Garage/Amenity Allocation
shall be made. Lender shall not be obligated to make any Loan
disbursements or establish any new Condominium Building Allocations
if and for as long as any Condominium Building Allocation or the
Garage/Amenity Allocation is not In Balance.
ARTICLE 9
CONSTRUCTION PAYOUT REQUIREMENTS
9.1 Monthly Payouts .
After the initial disbursement of a Condominium Building Allocation
or the Garage/Amenity Allocation, further disbursements shall be
made during construction of the Condominium Building for which such
Condominium Building Allocation has been established, or the
garages and amenities for which the Garage/Amenity Allocation has
been established, from time to time as the Construction progresses,
but no more frequently than once in each calendar month, except
that Borrower shall be entitled to a second disbursement per month
to pay framing, interior trim, siding, plumbing, HVAC and cabinet
installation subcontractors, as well as interior trim, cabinet and
light fixture suppliers, provided that the amount of such draw is
in excess of $50,000.00, but not more than $300,000.00. All
disbursements with respect to all existing Condominium Building
Allocations or the Garage/Amenity Allocation shall be disbursed
monthly on the same date. At Lender’s option, disbursements
may be made by Lender into an escrow and subsequently disbursed to
Borrower or its General Contractor, Subcontractors and materials
suppliers by the Title Insurer or by Lender directly. If such
option is exercised, those Loan proceeds shall be deemed to be
disbursed to Borrower from the date of deposit into that escrow or
the date of disbursement by Lender and interest shall accrue on
those proceeds from that date, regardless of the date such proceeds
are released by the Title Insurer if disbursed to such Title
Insurer.
9.2 Additional Documents to
be Furnished for Each Disbursement . As a condition
precedent to each disbursement of any Condominium Building
Allocation or the Garage/Amenity
22
Allocation (including the initial
disbursement), Borrower shall furnish or cause to be furnished to
Lender the following documents with respect to each Condominium
Building Allocation or the Garage/Amenity Allocation covering each

9.3 Retainages . At
the time of each disbursement of the proceeds of a Condominium
Building Allocation or the Garage/Amenity Allocation, five percent
(5%) of the total amount then due the General Contractor and the
various contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers for
costs of construction of the applicable Condominium Building or
garages and amenities shall be withheld from the amount disbursed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no retainage with
respect to the General Contractor’s Fee; provided, however,
that the General Contractor’s Fee shall not in the aggregate
exceed the amount for such General Contractor’s Fee set forth
in the Budget for the Project and with respect to each Condominium
Building, the portion of such fee allocated thereto in the Budget
for such Condominium Building, and such fee shall be disbursed on a
percentage of completion basis with respect to each Condominium
Building. The retained amounts under such Condominium Building
Allocation or the Garage/Amenity Allocation for the construction
costs of the applicable Condominium Building or garages and
amenities will be disbursed only at the time of the final
disbursement of the amount of the Condominium Building Allocation
or the Garage/Amenity Allocation proceeds under Article 12
below; provided, however, upon the satisfactory completion of one
hundred percent (100%) of the work with respect to any trade
(including any trade performed by the General Contractor) or the
delivery of all materials pursuant to a purchase order for a
particular Condominium Building or garage and amenity in accordance
with the Plans and Specifications as certified by the Architect and
the Lender’s Consultant, Lender may decide on a case by case
basis (but shall not be obligated) to permit retainages with
respect to such trade or order, as the case may be held under the
Condominium Building Allocation or the Garage/Amenity Allocation
for such Condominium Building or garages and amenities may be
disbursed to Borrower upon the Lender’s Consultant’s
approval of all work a
