shall be allocated to the Contingency Fund to cover contingencies or cost overruns in other
particular Line Items in the Budget.
(c) The CRA shall not be obligated to disburse any amount for any (i) amount not
set forth in the Budget or (ii) cost in connection with any Line Item which would cause the
aggregate disbursements for such Line Item to exceed the lesser of (x) the actual cost incurred by

Item in the Budget.

with the Relocation Plan. Developer agrees that if for any reason, in the Executive Director's
reasonable discretion, the amount of such undistributed Funds shall at any time be or become

Item in the Budget, (ii) for payment of any item not included in the Budget, (iii) for payment of

deemed to constitute a waiver by the CRA of any of its rights relating to the approval of
disbursement requests or construction budget or allocations provided elsewhere in this

making of the CRA Grant, Developer and the Association agree to indemnify and hold the CRA

companies that have their principal place of business either within the Redevelopment Area or
