shall be on a para pasu basis and be disbursed by the CRA in accordance with the Budget. The
Developer Funds shall either be deposited with the CRA or held in a manner approved by the
Executive Director, for disbursement in accordance with this Agreement. The Budget shall
specify all costs and expenses of every kind and nature whatever to be incurred by Developer in
connection with the Project Rehabilitation including the costs for implementation. The Budget
shall include, in addition to the line items described in Section 7.2 below, the Contingency Fund
described in Section 7.3 below. All changes to the Budget shall in all respects be subject to the
prior written approval of the Executive Director, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
7.2 Line Items.
(a) The Budget shall include as line items ("Line Items"), to the extent determined
to be applicable by the Executive Director in its reasonable discretion, all hard costs and soft
costs for the completion of the Project Rehabilitation and implementation of the Relocation Plan.
Developer agrees that all Funds disbursed by the CRA shall be used only for the Line Items for
which such proceeds were designated and that there shall be no reallocation between Line Items
except in connection with Savings, and in such case, only to the extent provided in Subsection
(b) below.
(b) If (i) expenses actually incurred in connection with any Line Item are less than
the amount allocated to such item in the Budget ("Savings"), and (ii) the Developer provides
evidence of the Savings that is reasonably satisfactory to the Executive Director, such Savings
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
the Developer with respect to such Line Item or (y) the amount set forth for such applicable Line
Item in the Budget.
7.3 Contingency Fund.
(d) The Budget shall contain a Line Item designated for the Contingency Fund.
Borrower may from time to time request that the Contingency Fund be reallocated to pay needed
7
costs of the Project Rehabilitation. All requests for allocations from the Contingency Fund shall
be subject to the Executive Director's written approval, in its reasonable discretion.
(e) Developer agrees that the decision with respect to utilizing portions of the
Contingency Fund in order to keep the Funds In Balance, as hereinafter defined, shall be made
by the Executive Director, and that the Executive Director may require the Developer to make a
Deficiency Deposit, as hereinafter defined, even if funds remain in the Contingency Fund.
Without limiting the foregoing, Developer shall not request any Advance of Funds, as hereinafter
defined, which may entail a reduction in the Contingency Fund to an amount (the "Minimum
Contingency Fund Balance") which is less than the product of (x) the ratio of the total remaining
unpaid Hard Costs to the total Hard Costs under the Budget, times (y) the original amount of the
Contingency Fund.
7.4 Loan In Balance.
Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, it is expressly
understood and agreed that the Funds shall at all times be "In Balance" on a Line Item and an
aggregate basis. A Line Item shall be deemed to be "In Balance" only if the Executive Director
in its reasonable discretion determines that the amount of such Line Item is sufficient for its
intended purpose. The Funds shall be deemed to be "In Balance" in the aggregate only when the
total of the undisbursed portion of the Funds (less the Minimum Contingency Fund Balance),
equals or exceeds the sum of (a) the costs required to complete the Project Rehabilitation in
accordance with the Plans and the Budget, including, without limitation, all costs in connection
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
insufficient for such purpose regardless of how such condition may be caused, unless the
Executive Director has otherwise agreed to Advance proceeds from the Contingency Fund to
cover such insufficiency, the Developer will, within ten (10) days after written request by the
Executive Director, deposit the deficiency with the CRA ("Deficiency Deposit"). Upon written
request by Developer therefor, the Executive Director shall furnish to Developer an explanation
in writing for any such determination by the Executive Director that any Line Item in the Budget
is not "In Balance." The Deficiency Deposit shall first be exhausted before any further Advance
of Funds shall be made. The CRA shall not be obligated to make any Advances of Funds if and
for as long as the Funds are not In Balance.
7.5 Monthly Advances.
(a) On the initial advance date, Borrower may request funding for actual soft costs
and permitted hard costs expended to date, less a Retainage Allowance for the hard costs
drawn.
(b) Advances shall be made from time to time during construction as the
construction progresses in accordance with the disbursement schedule (the "Construction Loan
Disbursement Schedule") to be prepared by the Developer and approved by the Executive
Director, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and in no event more often than
once in any calendar month. In no event shall the CRA be required to make any Advance (i)
for payment of any Line Item in excess of the amount budgeted for such Line Item in the
Budget, (ii) for payment of any item not included in the Budget, (iii) for payment of any Line
8
Item in excess of the amounts necessary to complete construction of the Project Rehabilitation,
or (iv) for payment of any amount not approved by the CRA's consultant (the CRA's

stipulation contained in this paragraph is deemed invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part,
then to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability Developer shall be deemed to have not
requested the disbursement of any reallocated proceeds, except where the CRA, prior to any
disbursement not in accordance with the original allocation of proceeds, affirmatively notifies
Developer in writing that it will avail itself of a provision in this Agreement permitting such
reallocated disbursement ("CRA's Reallocated Disbursement"). In the event that the CRA
determines to make a CRA's Reallocated Disbursement, Developer shall within three (3)
business days of a request by the CRA authorize the CRA to provide certificates on behalf of
Developer and provide to the CRA a written list, certified by Developer, containing the name

approved reallocation request made by Developer unless and until Developer has complied with
all of its obligations relating to such disbursement under the terms and provisions of this
Agreement and Section 713.3471 of the Florida Statutes. Nothing contained herein shall be
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
Agreement.
(v) Without limiting the provisions of this Section 7.5, in consideration of the
making of the CRA Grant, Developer and the Association agree to indemnify and hold the CRA

Allowance") will be retained by the CRA. The retainage for the construction costs will be
disbursed only at the time of the final disbursement of Funds under Section 7.10 below;
provided, however, upon the satisfactory completion of one hundred percent (100%) of the work
furnished by any subcontractor under any contract (excluding any trade performed by the general
contractor) or the delivery of all materials pursuant to a purchase order in accordance with the
Plans as certified by the Architect and the CRA's Consultant, the CRA shall permit Retainage
Allowances with respect to such contract to be disbursed upon the CRA's Consultant's approval
