Part 35. (f) Prior to making any Loan disbursement to pay any Construction costs, the Project shall have been approved by the State's Historical Preservation Officer in a manner consistent with the policies and practices of the Wastewater SRF Program (the "Historical Preservation Approval"). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event a Historical Preservation Approval has not been given within four (4) months after the date of this Agreement, the Finance Authority may, in its sole discretion, (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Loan to the amount then disbursed and outstanding under this Agreement and (ii) if any amounts are held in the Construction Fund, require a Loan Reduction Payment pursuant to Section 2.06 as if it were a date that was three (3) years after the dated date of the Bonds. Upon giving notice to the Participant of such action, no further Loan disbursement (including from the Construction Fund) may be made under this Agreement unless consented to by the Finance Authority. (g) In the event the Bonds are payable from rates and charges of the Treatment Works and if requested by the Finance Authority, the Participant shall provide evidence satisfactory to the Finance Authority demonstrating that such rates and charges are at a level adequate to produce and maintain sufficient net revenue after providing for the proper Operation and Maintenance of the Treatment Works, on a proforma basis consistent with SRF Policy Guidelines, to provide 1.25x coverage on all obligations of the Treatment Works (including the Bonds). Section 2.04. Disbursement Procedures.

The Finance Authority may, in its discretion, cause Loan disbursements to be made (a) directly to the person or entity identified in the Disbursement Request to whom payment is due, or (b) if advised in writing by the Participant that I.C. 36-1-12-14 or a similar law applies to the Project, to the Participant for purposes of collecting retainage, or some combination thereof. Any Loan proceeds in excess of the amount subject to retainage controlled by the Participant will be immediately remitted to the person or entity to whom payment is due, no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt or the date such Loan proceeds are no longer subject to retainage. The Finance Authority may, in its discretion, cause Loan disbursements to be made from time to time, in whole or in part, to the Participant's Construction Fund for disbursement consistent with this Agreement. Loan disbursements shall not be made more frequently than monthly and shall only be made following the submission of a Disbursement Request to the Finance Authority. Disbursement Requests shall be approved by the Director of Environmental Programs prior to submission to the Disbursement Agent for a Loan disbursement. Disbursement Requests shall be numbered sequentially, beginning with the number 1. B-11 BDDB01 5738468v1
