Notwithstanding anything contained in this Reimbursement Agreement to the contrary, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Project Fund and equity to be received from Company during construction (collectively, the "Construction Proceeds") shall at all times be "in balance." The Construction Proceeds shall be deemed to be "in balance" only at such time and from time to time, as Bank may determine in Bank's sole discretion based on the certification of Bank's Inspector that the then undisbursed portion of the Construction Proceeds equals or exceeds the amount necessary for the timely and full payment of (i) all work done and not theretofore paid for or to be done in connection with the completion of the construction of the Facility in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, including the installation of all fixtures and 20 equipment required for operation of the Facility and the Premises, and (ii) all other costs and expenses incurred and not theretofore paid for, or to be incurred in connection with the Project and the Premises (to the extent revenues will not, in Bank's sole judgment, be sufficient for the timely and full payment of such costs and expenses). Company agrees that if the Construction Proceeds are deemed not to be "in balance," Company shall, within thirty (30) days after written request by Bank, deposit the deficiency with Bank (the "Deficiency Deposit"), which Deficiency Deposit shall first be exhausted before any further disbursement from the Construction Proceeds is made.
