At the City's request the Board shall evidence to the City in writing to the City's satisfaction that the Board owns or otherwise controls the Property, or has the right to enter the Property and undertake such activities as the Board deems necessary prior to owning or otherwise controlling the Property, before the City disburses City Funds.

[intentionally omitted]
(i) The Board's right to receive payments hereunder shall be subordinate to all prior obligations of the City to be paid from TouhyAA/estern Increment.
(ii) The City, subject to the terms of this subsection 1(e)(ii), may, until the earlier to occur of (1) the expiration of the Term of this Agreement or (2) the date that the City has paid directly or the Board has been reimbursed in the full amount of the City Funds under this Agreement, exclude up to 90% of the Increment generated from the construction value of a new assisted development project and pledge that Increment to a developer on a basis superior to that of the Board. For purposes of this subsection, "a new assisted development project" shall not include any development project that is or will be exempt from the payment of ad valorem property taxes. Further, for purposes of this subsection, "Increment generated from the construction value of a new assisted development project" shall be the amount of Increment generated by the equalized assessed value ("EAV") of such affected parcels over and above the EAV of such affected parcels for the year immediately preceding the year in which the new assisted development project commences (the "Base Year"). Except for the foregoing, the Board shall retain its initial lien status relative to TouhyAA/estern Increment. In the event that the City elects to avail itself of the provisions of this subsection, it shall, at least seven (7) days prior to executing a binding commitment pledging the Increment described above, certify, in a letter to the Board, the affected parcels and the EAV thereof for the Base Year.
[intentionally omitted]
The availability of City Funds is subject to: (i) the City's annual retention of TouhyAA/estern Increment in an amount necessary for the payment of expenses incurred by the City in the administration of the TouhyAA/estern Redevelopment Area; and (ii) the City's compliance with all applicable requirements regarding the use of such funds and the timing of such use.
The Board shall, at the request of the City, agree to any reasonable amendments to this Agreement that are necessary or desirable in order for the City to issue (in its sole discretion) any bonds in connection with the TouhyAA/estern Redevelopment Area, the proceeds of which may be used to reimburse the City for expenditures made in connection with, or provide a source of funds for the payment for, the TIF-Funded Improvements ("Bonds"); provided, however, that any such amendments shall not have a material adverse effect on the Board or the Project. The Board shall, at the Board's expense, cooperate and provide reasonable assistance in connection with the marketing of any such Bonds, including but not limited to providing written descriptions of the Project, making representations, providing information regarding its financial condition and assisting the City in preparing an offering statement with respect thereto. The City may, in its sole discretion, use all or a portion of the proceeds of such Bonds if issued to pay for all or a portion of the TIF-Funded Improvements.
|1010|
The current estimate of the cost of the Project is $20,000,000. The Board has delivered to the Commissioner of the Department (the "Commissioner"), and the Commissioner hereby approves, a detailed project budget for the Project, attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit G. The Board certifies that it has identified sources of funds (including the City Funds) sufficient to complete the Project. The Board agrees that the City will only contribute the City Funds to the Project and that all costs of completing the Project over the City Funds shall be the sole responsibility of the Board. If the Board at any point does not have sufficient funds to complete the Project, the Board shall so notify the City in writing, and the Board may narrow the scope of the Project as agreed with the City in order to construct the Facility with the available funds.
Attached as Exhibit H and incorporated herein is a preliminary list of capital improvements, land assembly costs, relocation costs and other costs, if any, recognized by the City as being eligible redevelopment project costs under the Act with respect to the Project, to be paid for out of City Funds ("TIF-Funded Improvements"); and to the extent the TIF-Funded Improvements are included as taxing district capital costs under the Act, the Board acknowledges that the TIF-Funded Improvements are costs for capital improvements and the City acknowledges it has determined that these TIF-Funded Improvements are necessary and directly result from the TouhyAA/estern Redevelopment Plan. Prior to the expenditure of City Funds on the Project, the Commissioner, based upon the detailed project budget, shall make such modifications to Exhibit H as he or she wishes in his or her discretion to account for all of the City Funds to be expended under this Agreement; provided, however, that all TIF-Funded Improvements shall (i) qualify as redevelopment project costs under the Act; (ii) qualify as eligible costs under the TouhyAA/estern Redevelopment Plan; and (iii) be improvements that the Commissioner has agreed to pay for out of City Funds, subject to the terms of this Agreement.
If the aggregate cost of the Project is less than the amount of the City Funds contemplated by this Agreement, the Board shall have no claim to the difference between the amount of the City Funds contemplated by this Agreement and the amount of the City Funds actually paid by the City to the Board and expended by the Board on the Project.
If requested by the City, the Board shall provide to the City quarterly reports on the progress of the Project and reasonable access to its books and records relating to the Project.
[intentionally omitted]
During the Term hereof the Board shall not sell, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Facility and/or the Property or any interest therein to a party other than the City (a "Transfer"), or otherwise effect or consent to a Transfer to a party other than the City, without the prior written consent of the City. The City's consent to any Transfer may, in the City's sole discretion, be conditioned upon (among other things) whether such a Transfer would conflict with the statutory basis for the grant of the City Funds hereunder pursuant to the Act.
ARTICLE FOUR: TERM
The Term of the Agreement shall commence as of the Agreement Date and shall expire on the date on which the TouhyAA/estern Redevelopment Area is-no longer in effect (through|1010|
and including December 31, 2030).
