2.3.2 Funding Notices from Disbursement Agent.
(a) (i) Promptly after delivery of each Advance Request and related Notice of Advance Request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.3.1, the Disbursement Agent shall review the same in order to (A) reconcile the information set forth in the Advance Request with the information set forth in the related Notice of Advance Request and (B) determine whether all required documentation has been provided and whether all applicable conditions precedent pursuant to this Agreement have been satisfied. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Disbursement Agent may verify, to the extent set forth herein, based on information provided to it by the Funding Agents, the Company and the Construction Consultant (V) that the amount of the Requested Advance (excluding Advances from the Company’s Funds Account and the issuance of Letters of Credit) does not exceed the Maximum Permitted Advance Amount, (W) the Company’s calculation of Available Funds, including Anticipated Earnings, set forth in the Advance Request, (X) that the Projects are In Balance as of the Advance Date, (Y) that the allocation of the requested Advance among the various Funding Sources complies with the provisions of Section 2.4 and (Z) that the Company’s calculation of interest and fees scheduled to become due and payable under the Bank Credit Agreement and the 2014 Notes, in each case, from and after the requested Advance Date and through the date that is thirty (30) days after the Advance Date, is accurate. The parties hereto recognize that the Disbursement Agent will be reviewing the Company’s Advance Request prior to receipt by the Disbursement Agent of the Construction Consultant’s certifications in respect of such Advance Request. Accordingly, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Disbursement Agent shall be entitled to approve any Advance Request so long as such Advance Request satisfies, on its face, the requirements of this Agreement. The Disbursement Agent shall have no obligation to make any further review or investigation of the Advance Request, the contents thereof or the accuracy of any statement, information or certification therein.
(ii) If based on the Disbursement Agent’s review of the Advance Request and accompanying Notice of Advance Request, the Disbursement Agent finds any errors or inaccuracies in the Advance Request or the Notice of Advance Request (including any inaccuracy in the allocations made pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof), but the Advance Request and Notice of Advance Request otherwise conform to the requirements of this Agreement, the Disbursement Agent shall (A) notify the Company thereof, (B) revise (to the extent it is able to
7
do so and with the Company’s consent, which may be provided electronically) or request that the Company revise the relevant certificates to remove the request for the disapproved payment and/or rectify any errors or inaccuracies, (C) deliver or request that the Company execute and deliver to the Funding Agents a revised Notice of Advance Request and (D) approve the requested Advance after making the required revisions (or receiving from the Company the revised certificates) on the basis of the certificates as so revised. In the event that the Disbursement Agent revises the Advance Request and Notice of Advance Request so as to increase the amount to be advanced under the Bank Credit Facility, the amount of such increase shall constitute the same type of Loans as requested in such Advance Request (unless otherwise prohibited under the Bank Credit Agreement). In the event that the Disbursement Agent revises the Advance Request and Notice of Advance Request so as to decrease the amount to be advanced under the Bank Credit Facility, the amount of such decrease shall (unless otherwise requested by the Company and permitted under the Bank Credit Agreement) first reduce the amount of “Base Rate Loans” requested under such Facility and then reduce the amount of “Eurodollar Loans” requested under such Facility. All references to a particular requested Advance, Advance Request or Notice of Advance Request in the ensuing provisions of this Article 2 shall, to the extent the context so requires, refer to the same as revised or modified pursuant to this clause (ii).
(b) In the event that the Disbursement Agent (i) on or prior to the requested Advance Date, determines that the conditions precedent to an Advance have not been satisfied or (ii) prior to the requested Advance Date receives notice from any Funding Agent that a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Disbursement Agent shall notify the Company and each Funding Agent thereof as soon as reasonably possible but in no event later than one (1) Banking Day after such determination or receipt, as the case may be (such notification, a “Stop Funding Notice”). The Stop Funding Notice shall specify, in reasonable detail, the conditions precedent which the Disbursement Agent has determined have not been satisfied and/or shall include as an attachment a copy of any notice of default received by the Disbursement Agent. Upon such written notice from the Disbursement Agent, subject to the provisions of Section 3.5, and until the Disbursement Agent notifies the Company and the Funding Agents that the Stop Funding Notice has been withdrawn, (i) no Bank Lender shall have any obligation to advance its portion of the requested Advance, if any, (ii) the Disbursement Agent shall not withdraw any funds from the 2014 Notes Proceeds Account for the purpose of transferring such funds to the Company’s Concentration Account (provided that the Disbursement Agent shall withdraw funds from the 2014 Notes Proceeds Account for the purpose of paying scheduled Debt Service on the 2014 Notes), (iii) the Disbursement Agent shall not withdraw any funds from the Company’s Funds Account to satisfy such requested Advance, (iv) the Disbursement Agent shall not withdraw, transfer or release to the Company any funds then on deposit in the Bank Proceeds Account (provided that the Disbursement Agent shall withdraw funds from the Bank Proceeds Account for the purpose of paying scheduled Debt Service on the Bank Credit Facility) and (v) the Company shall not be permitted to pay Project Costs (other than Debt Service) from amounts on deposit in the Company’s Concentration Account; provided that such Stop Funding Notice shall not affect the obligations of the Company for break funding costs under the Bank Credit Facility.
(c) Prior to the earliest of (i) termination of the “Term Loan Commitments” (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) other than due to the funding in full
8
thereof, (ii) termination of the “Revolving Credit Commitments” (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) and (iii) acceleration by any Funding Agent of amounts owed under its Facility, unless any such action has been rescinded, at such time, if ever, as the Disbursement Agent (x) determines that the condition precedent to the requested Advance which had not been satisfied has become satisfied or (y) receives notice from the Funding Agent who issued the notice of default described in the preceding paragraph that the Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has been cured or waived, as the case may be, the Disbursement Agent shall notify the Company and the Funding Agents that the Stop Funding Notice has been withdrawn.
(d) In the event that a Funding Agent entitled to waive conditions precedent to funding pursuant to Section 3.5 or the Bank Agent pursuant to Section 3.6 informs the Disbursement Agent in writing that it has waived the event or events giving rise to the Stop Funding Notice, the Disbursement Agent shall withdraw the Stop Funding Notice (with respect only to amounts to be advanced under such Funding Agent’s Facility unless all Funding Agents entitled to waive conditions with respect to such Advance Request have waived the conditions or the Bank Agent has waived such conditions pursuant to Section 3.6, in which case the Disbursement Agent shall withdraw the Stop Funding Notice with respect to all Advances requested by the Company and all amounts in the Company’s Concentration Account) by notice to the Company and each of the Funding Agents.
2.3.3 Provision of Funds by the Bank Lenders.
(a) (i) (A) On the requested Advance Date or (B) in the event that a Stop Funding Notice has been issued and subsequently withdrawn, on the third (3rd) Banking Day after the withdrawal of such Stop Funding Notice, before 12:00 p.m. New York, New York time, the Bank Agent shall send written notice to the Disbursement Agent (x) that the Bank Agent (subject to Section 2.4.3) is prepared to deposit or cause to be deposited in the Company’s Concentration Account, in immediately available funds, the Bank Credit Facility’s portion of the requested Advance, if any, as determined pursuant to Sections 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 and (y) if the related Notice of Advance Request includes a request for the issuance of one or more Letters of Credit under the Bank Credit Agreement, that the “Issuing Lenders” (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) have advised the Bank Agent that they are committed to issue each such Letter of Credit.
(ii) Upon receipt of written notice from the Bank Agent pursuant to clause (i) above that the Bank Agent is prepared to deposit the funds required to be deposited in the Company’s Concentration Account and, if applicable, upon receipt of the Bank Agent’s confirmation that the “Issuing Lenders” (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) have advised the Bank Agent that they are committed to issue each requested Letter of Credit, the Disbursement Agent shall (A) instruct the Bank Agent to deposit or cause to be deposited the required funds into the Company’s Concentration Account and (B) (subject to Section 2.3.2(b)) promptly withdraw from the Company’s Funds Account, the 2014 Notes Proceeds Account, the Bank Proceeds Account and the Completion Guaranty Account the portion of the Advance to be funded from each such account as determined pursuant to Section 2.4, deposit such funds in the Company’s Concentration Account and notify the Bank Agent that such transfer to the Company’s Concentration Account has been made. Upon receipt of such notice, if applicable,
9
the Bank Agent shall instruct the “Issuing Lenders” (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) under the Bank Revolving Facility to issue the requested Letters of Credit.
(b) Neither the Disbursement Agent nor the Bank Agent shall be responsible for any Bank Lender’s failure to make any required Advance or, if applicable, the failure of any “Issuing Lender” under the Bank Credit Agreement to issue any Letter of Credit. The Bank Agent shall not deposit or cause to be deposited in the Company’s Concentration Account any amounts requested by the relevant Advance Request until (i) instructed so to do by the Disbursement Agent and (ii) the Bank Agent has confirmed that each Bank Lender has made the required Advance and, if applicable, that the “Issuing Lenders” (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) under the Bank Revolving Facility have advised the Bank Agent that they are committed to issue each requested Letter of Credit, unless one or more of the Lenders who have provided to the Bank Agent their share of the Advance request that the funds advanced by such Lender be deposited in the Company’s Concentration Account (the Bank Agent shall promptly notify the Disbursement Agent and the 2014 Notes Indenture Trustee upon receiving any such request). However, the withholding of such Advances by the Disbursement Agent and/or the Bank Agent shall not release the Lender who failed to make the Advance under its Facility or any “Issuing Lender” who failed to issue a Letter of Credit from liability. The Disbursement Agent shall have no liability to the Company arising from any Stop Funding Notice issued pursuant to Section 2.3.2(b) at the request of any Funding Agent (such a request, a “Stop Funding Request”), whether or not such Funding Agent was entitled to issue such Stop Funding Request. A Funding Agent shall not have any liability to the Company, the Disbursement Agent, any other Funding Agent or any Lender arising from any Stop Funding Notice issued by the Disbursement Agent in response to a Stop Funding Request by such Funding Agent; provided, however, that nothing herein shall release from liability the Funding Agent who issued the Stop Funding Request if such issuance resulted from, or constituted an act of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Funding Agent, as finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
2.3.4 Change in Facts Certified. The Company shall promptly notify the Disbursement Agent prior to the making of any Advances in the event that the Company obtains knowledge that any of the matters to which the Company certified in the corresponding Advance Request are no longer true and correct in all material respects. The acceptance by the Company of the proceeds of any Advance shall constitute a re-certification by the Company, as of the applicable Advance Date, of all matters certified to in the related Advance Request, except to the extent that any matter so certified to relates to a specific earlier date in which case such certification shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date.
2.3.5 References to Dates. In the event that any day or date referred to in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3 occurs on a day that is not a Banking Day, the reference shall be deemed to be to the next succeeding Banking Day.

The Company has no reason to believe that any material Permit so indicated will not be obtained before it becomes necessary for the ownership, development, construction, financing or operation of the Projects or that obtaining such Permit will result in undue expense or delay. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates are in violation of any condition in any Permit the effect of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Exhibit J-1 and Exhibit J-2 may be updated from time to time by the Company in response to changes in Legal Requirements and such updates shall be effective upon the delivery of such updated exhibits to the Disbursement Agent and the Construction Consultant.

The Disbursement Agent may (or may instruct the Construction Consultant to) perform such inspections of the Projects as it deems reasonably appropriate in the performance of its duties hereunder and shall request the Construction Consultant to perform the duties of, and timely deliver any certificates required to be delivered by, the Construction Consultant hereunder. In addition, the
62
Disbursement Agent shall have the right at reasonable times upon prior notice to review all relevant information (including Project Documents) in the Company’s possession supporting the amendments to the Project Budgets, amendments to any Project Documents, the Company’s Advance Requests and any certificates in support of any of the foregoing, to inspect materials stored on the Mortgaged Property or at any other location, to review the insurance required pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreements, to confirm receipt of endorsements from the Title Insurer insuring the continuing priority of the liens of the Deeds of Trust as security for each Advance hereunder, and to examine the Plans and Specifications and all shop drawings relating to the Projects. The Disbursement Agent is authorized to contact (or to instruct the Construction Consultant to contact) any Contractor for purposes of confirming receipt of progress payments. From time to time, at the request of the Disbursement Agent, the Company shall make available to the Disbursement Agent the Project Schedule. The Company agrees to cooperate with the Disbursement Agent in assisting the Disbursement Agent to perform its duties hereunder and to take such further steps as the Disbursement Agent reasonably may request in order to facilitate the Disbursement Agent’s performance of its obligations hereunder.
9.2.2 Powers, Rights and Remedies. The Disbursement Agent is authorized to take such actions and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies under this Agreement as are specifically delegated or granted to the Disbursement Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Disbursement Agent agrees to act in accordance with the instructions of the Bank Agent and in the absence of such instructions shall take such actions or refrain from acting as it deems reasonable subject to any express requirements of this Agreement. The Disbursement Agent shall not act in accordance with the instructions of the 2014 Notes Indenture Trustee, and the 2014 Notes Indenture Trustee shall not give any instructions to the Disbursement Agent (except, in each case, for instructions relating to the 2014 Notes Proceeds Account). The Bank Agent shall be entitled to give instructions to the Disbursement Agent without consulting with the 2014 Notes Indenture Trustee (except for instructions relating to the 2014 Notes Proceeds Account).
9.2.3 No Risk of Own Funds. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall require the Disbursement Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers (in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Disbursement Agent, as finally, judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
9.2.4 No Imputed Knowledge. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the entity acting as Disbursement Agent also serves as the Collateral Agent or Funding Agent under the Financing Agreements, and except if such functions shall be performed by the same individuals within such entity, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Disbursement Agent shall not be deemed to have any knowledge of any fact known to such entity in its capacity as the Collateral Agent or Funding Agent by reason of the fact that the Disbursement Agent and the Collateral Agent or Funding Agent, as the case may be, are the same entity. Except as aforesaid, no knowledge of the Collateral Agent or any Funding Agent shall be attributed to the Disbursement Agent. The Disbursement Agent’s duties and functions hereunder shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties
63
or obligations upon the Disbursement Agent in its capacity as Bank Agent or as Lender. With respect to its participation in the extensions of credit under the Bank Credit Agreement, the Disbursement Agent shall have the same rights and powers thereunder as any other Funding Agent or Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing its duties and functions hereunder. The Disbursement Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with the Company or any of its Affiliates, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Company for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. Each party hereto acknowledges that, as of the Closing Date, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and its Affiliates are, in addition to acting as the Disbursement Agent hereunder, also acting as the initial Bank Agent, Securities Intermediary, Collateral Agent, investment manager on behalf of the Loan Parties, and may be a Bank Lender.

9.3.2 Notice of Events of Default. The Disbursement Agent shall notify each Funding Agent of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default known to it (which has not been cured or waived).
9.3.3 Reliance Generally. The Disbursement Agent may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval or other paper or document believed by it on reasonable grounds to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, in performing its duties hereunder (including, without limitation, approving any Advance Requests and confirming that any of the Opening, Phase I Substantial Completion, Completion, Final Completion or Completion Guaranty Release Dates have occurred), making any other determinations or taking any other actions hereunder, the Disbursement Agent shall be entitled to rely on certifications from the Company (and, where contemplated herein, certifications from third parties, including the Construction Consultant, the Project Architects, the Primary Contractors or any other Contractor) as to satisfaction of any requirements and/or conditions imposed by this Agreement. The Disbursement Agent shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation as to the accuracy, veracity or completeness of any such items or to investigate any other facts or circumstances to verify compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder.

The Disbursement Agent is authorized, in its exclusive discretion, to obey and comply with all writs, orders, judgments or decrees issued by any court or administrative agency affecting any money, documents or things held by the Disbursement Agent. The Disbursement Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto, their successors, heirs or personal representatives by reason of the Disbursement Agent’s compliance with such
64
writs, orders, judgments or decrees, notwithstanding the fact that such writ, order, judgment or decree is later reversed, modified, set aside or vacated.
9.3.5 Requests, etc. of the Company. Any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) by an instrument signed by one of its Responsible Officers and any resolution of the Company may be evidenced to the Disbursement Agent by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company.

9.3.7 Action through Agents or Attorneys. The Disbursement Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys appointed with due care and the Disbursement Agent shall not be responsible for any act on the part of any agent or attorney so appointed.
