Pension Fund 1. The Employer shall make contributions to a pension trust fund known as the “Building Service 32BJ Pension Fund” to cover bargaining unit employees who are regularly employed twenty (20) or more hours per week, including paid time off. The Employer shall also make contributions on behalf of other bargaining unit employees to the extent that such employees work a sufficient number of hours to require benefit accrual pursuant to Section 204 of ERISA. Employees unable to work and who are on statutory short term disability benefits or workers’ compensation shall continue to accrue pension credits without employer contributions during the periods of disability up to six (6) months or the period of disability whichever is earlier. 2. The Employer shall pay into the Fund the sum of $94.75 per week for every regular employee as defined in the Building Service Pension Plan, as it may be amended, except as provided in Section 4 hereof. 3. Effective January 1, 2015, the Employer shall pay into the Fund the sum of $98.75 per week for every regular employee. 4. If the Employer has in effect a pension and retirement plan which has been determined to provide benefits equivalent or superior to those provided under the Building Service 32BJ Pension Plan, it may continue such plan provided it continues to provide retirement benefits equivalent or superior to the benefits that are provided under the Building Service 32BJ Pension Plan during the term of this agreement, and it shall be relieved of any obligation to make payments into the Fund. 5. Any Employer who becomes party to this Agreement and who immediately prior thereto has a pension plan in effect which provides benefits equivalent to or better than the benefits provided herein, may, upon agreement of the Union and RAB, cover his/her employees under its existing plan in lieu of this Fund and be relieved of the obligation to make contributions to the Fund for the period of such other coverage. 6. In no event shall the Trustees or any of them, the Union or the RAB, directly or indirectly, by reason of this agreement, be understood to consent to the extinguishment, change or diminution of any legal rights, vested or otherwise, that anyone may have in the continuation in existing form of any such Employer pension plan, and the Trustees or any of them, the Union and the RAB shall be held harmless by an Employer against any action brought by anyone covered under such Employer’s plan asserting a claim based upon anything done pursuant to Section 5 of this Article. Notice of the pendency of any such action shall be given the Employer who may defend the action on behalf of the indemnitee. 7. The parties agree that if there is new governmental regulations issued that implement the excise tax provisions of the Pension Protection Act (PPA), or there is further governmental reform relating to the funding of pension funds, the parties shall meet to discuss what steps, if any, might be appropriate to ameliorate any adverse impact on the Funds, its participants and employers. To the extent that any employer covered by this Agreement, with respect to employees covered by this Agreement, becomes subject to the automatic employer surcharge or any excise tax, penalty, fee, increased contribution rate or other amount relating to the funding of the Pension Fund (but not including interest, liquidated damages, or other amounts owed as a consequence of failing to make timely remittance of contributions to the Pension Fund) under Sections 412 or 432 of the Internal Revenue Code, then the parties agree that the required contributions to the Health Fund, Training Fund and/or Legal Services Fund for each employer covered under this Agreement shall be reduced dollar for dollar by the aggregate amount of any additional contribution and/or surcharge amounts, excise taxes, penalties, fees or other amounts that such employer is required to pay, as provided in this subsection. Unless a different allocation among the Funds is agreed upon in advance of any applicable due date for such contributions by the Presidents of the RAB and Local 32BJ, such amount shall be allocated solely from the Health Fund.
Education Fund Full-Time and Part-Time 27.01 If the Local Union indicates to the Hospital that a special assessment of $0.03 per hour for Union education applies to all bargaining unit members, the Hospital agrees to deduct this assessment. Such assessment along with a listing of employees will be paid on a quarterly basis into a trust fund established and administered by the applicable SEIU Local Union for this purpose.

Project Fund (a) All proceeds of the Funding Loan provided by the Funding Lender shall be deposited to the Note Proceeds Account of the Project Fund and disbursed as herein provided. The Fiscal Agent shall use moneys in the Project Fund for the acquisition, rehabilitation, development and equipping of the Project, to pay other Qualified Project Costs and to pay other costs related to the Project as provided herein. On the Closing Date, the Funding Lender shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Fiscal Agent, for deposit in the Note Proceeds Account of the Project Fund, the initial disbursement of the Funding Loan in the amount of $ . Not less than 97% of the moneys deposited in and credited to the Project Fund, and taking into account proceeds of the Funding Loan (if any) deposited in the Closing Costs Fund, representing the proceeds of the Funding Loan, including Investment Income thereon, will be expended for Qualified Project Costs (the “97% Requirement”). The amounts on deposit in the Project Fund shall not be applied to the payment of Closing Costs. Before any payment shall be made from the Project Fund, the Regulatory Agreement shall have been executed and submitted to a title company for recordation in the official records of the County of Orange and there shall be filed with the Fiscal Agent a Written Requisition of the Borrower substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and approved by the Funding Lender pursuant to the terms, conditions and provisions of the Construction Funding Agreement, with a copy to the Governmental Lender. The Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any Written Requisition in determining whether to disburse amounts from the Project Fund. In connection with a Written Requisition, except for a written request for amounts representing accrued interest due and payable on the Governmental Lender Notes: (1) Only the signature of an authorized officer of the Funding Lender shall be required on a Written Requisition during any period in which a default by the Borrower has occurred and is then continuing under the Borrower Loan (notice of which default has been given in writing by an authorized officer of the Funding Lender to the Fiscal Agent and the Governmental Lender, and the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such Written Notice as to the occurrence and continuation of such a default). (2) The Fiscal Agent shall disburse amounts in the Project Fund upon receipt of a Written Requisition signed only by the Funding Lender (and without any need for any signature by an Authorized Borrower Representative) so long as the amount to be disbursed is to be used solely to make payments of principal, interest and/or fees due under the Funding Loan Documents. (3) The Fiscal Agent may conclusively rely on all Written Requisitions, the execution of the Written Requisitions by the Authorized Borrower Representative and the approval of all Written Requisitions by the Funding Lender, as required by this Section, as conditions of payment from the Project Fund, which Written Requisitions constitute, as to the Fiscal Agent, irrevocable determinations that all conditions to payment of the specified amounts from the Project Fund have been satisfied. These documents shall be retained by the Fiscal Agent, subject at all reasonable times to examination by the Borrower, the Governmental Lender, the Funding Lender and the agents and representatives thereof upon reasonable notice to the Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent is not required to inspect the Project or the construction work or to make any independent investigation with respect to the matters set forth in any Written Requisition or other statements, orders, certifications and approvals received by the Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent is not required to obtain completion bonds, lien releases or otherwise supervise the acquisition, construction, renovation, equipping, improvement and installation of the Project. (b) Upon receipt of each Written Requisition submitted by the Borrower and approved in writing by the Funding Lender, the Fiscal Agent shall promptly, but in any case within two Business Days, make payment from the appropriate account within the Project Fund in accordance with such Written Requisition. The Fiscal Agent shall have no duty to determine whether any requested disbursement from the Project Fund complies with the terms, conditions and provisions of the Funding Loan Documents, constitutes payment of Qualified Project Costs or complies with the 97% Requirement. The approval in writing of a Written Requisition by the Funding Lender shall be deemed a certification and, insofar as the Fiscal Agent and the Governmental Lender are concerned, shall constitute conclusive evidence that all of the terms, conditions and requirements of the Funding Loan Documents applicable to such disbursement have been fully satisfied or waived and the Written Requisition from the Borrower shall, insofar as the Fiscal Agent and the Governmental Lender are concerned, constitute conclusive evidence that the costs described in the Written Requisition constitute Qualified Project Costs or other permitted Project costs. The Fiscal Agent shall immediately provide Written Notice to the Borrower, the Funding Lender and the Governmental Lender if there are not sufficient funds available to or on deposit with the Fiscal Agent to make the transfers as and when required by this Section 7.7(b). Except as provided in the next sentence, all such payments shall be made by check or draft payable, or by wire transfer, either (i) directly to the person, firm or corporation to be paid, (ii) to the Borrower and such person, firm or corporation, or (iii) upon receipt by the Funding Lender and the Governmental Lender of evidence that the Borrower has previously paid such amount and Written Direction to the Fiscal Agent as to such as evidenced by the Funding Lender’s approval of the Written Requisition, to the Borrower. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of the Borrower of which the Fiscal Agent has knowledge as provided herein, which is continuing under the Funding Loan Documents, with the Written Consent of the Funding Lender, the Fiscal Agent may apply amounts on deposit in the Project Fund to the payment of principal of and interest on the Funding Loan. If a Written Requisition signed by the Authorized Borrower Representative and countersigned by an authorized officer of the Funding Lender is received by the Fiscal Agent, the requested disbursement shall be paid by the Fiscal Agent as soon as practicable, but in no event later than three Business Days following receipt thereof by the Fiscal Agent. Upon final disbursement of all amounts on deposit in the Project Fund, the Fiscal Agent shall close the Project Fund. (c) Immediately prior to any mandatory prepayment of the Funding Loan pursuant to hereto, any amounts then remaining in the Project Fund shall, at the written direction of the Funding Lender, be transferred to the Funding Loan Payment Fund to be applied to the prepayment of the Funding Loan pursuant hereto. (d) Amounts on deposit in the Project Fund shall be invested in Permitted Investments directed in writing by the Borrower. Investment Income earned on amounts on deposit in each account of the Project Fund shall be retained in and credited to and become a part of the amounts on deposit in that account of the Project Fund. (e) Prior to the Completion Date, the Funding Lender may provide a written request for accrued interest due and payable on the Governmental Lender Notes which shall be provided to the Governmental Lender within three (3) Business Days, but which shall not be subject to the Governmental Lender’s prior approval.
