In addition, this responds to a request made by the City in a meeting on February 26, 2008 in connection with the date in paragraph 1 of the Contract. Paragraph 6(a) of the Contract says that funds pledged pursuant to paragraphs 5(b), 5(c) and 5(d) are to be deposited into the Loan Repayment Account upon receipt. However, we understand that the City would like to have these funds available for re-use, rather than have to deposit them into the Loan Repayment Account. Paragraph 1(a)of the Contract requires that temporary investments of Guaranteed Loan Funds mature no later than May 1, 2007 and that Guaranteed Loan funds be withdrawn and disbursed by May 1, 2007. The City has requested an extension of the date to December 31, 2009, as the City needs more time to complete its Riverwalk and Business Loan Pool activities. The requests from the City, along with other information provided by the City, have been reviewed by my office and by our Office of General Counsel. Based on the information provided, and in the interests of furthering the intended purposes of the transaction, we find the requested changes to be acceptable to HUD and not inconsistent with the project as approved by HUD. Your requests are approved as follows: 1. The Contract is amended to insert the following language as paragraph 15(1): 15(1) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in paragraph 6(a), so long as no Default has occurred, amounts pledged pursuant to paragraph 5(b), 5(c), and 5(d) shall not be required to be deposited into the Loan Repayment Account; provided, however, such amounts shall be used in accordance with the 2 regulations governing their use (including, without limitation, 24 CFR Part 570 and 24 CFR Part 92). Upon any Default, the Borrower shall immediately deposit all cash derived from such pledged amounts (then on hand or thereafter received)into the Loan Repayment Account. 2. The date in paragraph 1(a)is extended until December 31, 2009 This letter shall constitute the agreement of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to the amendment requests and shall be attached to the original Contract and constitute a First Amendment thereto. Except for this addition of paragraph 15(1), related to the Loan Repayment Account, and the extension of the date in paragraph 1(a), all other terms and conditions and obligations set forth in the Contract remain unchanged. If you accept the terms and conditions of this amendment as set forth above, please acknowledge your acceptance by signing in the space below and return a fully executed copy to Paul Webster,Director, Financial Management Division, 451 7th Street, S.W.,Room 7180, Washington,DC 20410.
