Garage/Amenity Allocation disbursed by Lender shall be used only
for the Budget Line Items for which such proceeds were disbursed.
Subject to the provisions of Section 11.1(b) hereof, Borrower shall
have the right to reallocate cost savings effected by final Change
Order or other appropriate final documentation to other Budget Line
Items subject to Lender’s prior written consent not to be
unreasonably withheld. Lender shall not be obligated to disburse
any amount for any category of costs set forth as a Budget Line
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

respect to each Condominium Building Allocation or the
Garage/Amenity Allocation covering each disbursement, in form and

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
