ARTICLE 6. DEVELOPMENT BUDGET AND FINANCING PLAN
Section 6.l . Budget and Financing Plan Overview. The Parties have agreed on a
Preliminary Development Budget and Preliminary Financing Plan, although it is recognized that both are preliminary and will be further developed and refined as described in this Article 6. In conjunction with the preparation of Design Development Documents and GMP Set, as described in Article 5 above, Stadco will have lead responsibility for refining cost estimates and
developing the Final Development Budget. The Stadium Authority and Stadco shall work
cooperatively to develop a Final Financing Plan. As further set forth in this Article 6, the
Stadium Authority's approval of the Final Development Budget and Final Financing Plan
constitute conditions to the Close of Escrow. The Executive Director may, in her sole discretion, present any matter contained in this Article 6 to the Board for its approval or disapproval.
Section 6.2. Development Budget.
- (a) Preliminary Development Budget Update. The Preliminary Development
Budget is intended to represent a summary of Total Development Costs using preliminary cost estimates for the development of the Improvements based on the Scope of Development and the Schematic Design Drawings. The Preliminary Development Budget shall provide the basis for preliminary cost estimates for the development of the Stadium. Within ninety (90) days
following the Stadium Authority's approval of the Design Development Documents, unless by that time Stadco has submitted a Final Development Budget pursuant to Section 6.2(b), Stadco shall submit to the Stadium Authority an update to the Preliminary Development Budget based on the Design Development Documents. Such update to the Preliminary Development Budget shall include reasonably detailed information, including, but not limited to the designation of which items qualify as Eligible CFD Expenditures, and shall be based on the previously
submitted Preliminary Development Budget. Such update to the Preliminary Development
Budget shall also include any new line items required as a result of changes to the design of the Stadium and shall contain updated construction cost estimates that are reasonable and consistent with the level of the drawings submitted by Stadco in accordance with Article 5. Stadco shall include reasonable supporting documents with such proposed update to the Preliminary
Development Budget.
-
(b) Submission of Final Development Budget. Within the time period
specified in the Schedule of Performance, Stadco shall submit the Final Development Budget to the Stadium Authority for the Stadium Authority's review and approval. The Final Development Budget shall be substantially in the form of the Preliminary Development Budget. The Final Development Budget shall include the estimated Total Development Costs based on the GMP Set, including, without limitation, the Make-Ready Work costs and Tenant Improvement Costs. The Final Development Budget shall also include an equitable allocation of costs between
Development Costs and Tenant Improvement Costs.
-
(c) Final Development Budget Approval Procedure. The Stadium Authority
shall review the Final Development Budget and shall approve the Final Development Budget if it reasonably determines that the Final Development Budget contains a reasonable projection of the
Total Development Costs, as evidenced by the IGMP established pursuant to the Design Build Agreement, as well as provisions for other Development Costs and Tenant Improvement Costs not covered by the Design-Build Agreement, and the Final Development Budget is consistent with the Final Financing Plan. The Stadium Authority shall approve or disapprove the Final
Development Budget within thirty (30) days of receipt. If the Stadium Authority conditionally approves the Final Development Budget, the conditions shall be stated in writing and a time shall be stated therein for satisfying the conditions. Any disapproval of the Final Development
Budget shall be in writing and shall contain a detailed explanation of(i) the reason(s) for such disapproval, and (ii) the additional information Stadco would need to submit to obtain approval. Promptly following any disapproval of the Final Development Budget, the Stadium Authority and Stadco shall meet and confer to attempt to resolve the dispute. In connection with such
disputes, both Stadco and the Stadium Authority agree to use their best efforts to reach a solution expeditiously that is mutually satisfactory to both Parties.
-
(d) Changes in Final Development Budget. After the Close of Escrow,
adjustments may be made to the Final Development Budget, with any such adjustment subject to the approval of the Parties and, to the extent required by the Funding Agreement, any other
parties to the Funding Agreement, provided that (i) approval of any increase in budgeted Tenant Improvement Costs will be conditioned on the commitment of Stadco to pay such costs, and
(ii) approval of any increase in budgeted Development Cost will be conditioned on the
commitment of payment by a dedicated funding source, which may be a third party (such as a naming rights sponsor's commitment to pay costs attributable to changes in Project Documents requested by such naming rights sponsor) or the Cost Overrun Commitment.
Section 6. 3. Financing Pan.
-
(a) Development of Final Financing Plan. The Preliminary Financing Plan
attached hereto as Exhibit H provides a general description of the expected amounts and timing of each of the sources of funding for the estimate of Total Development Costs set forth in the Preliminary Development Budget. Based on the Preliminary Financing Plan, the Stadium
Authority and Stadco will use good faith efforts, working cooperatively, to develop a Final
Financing Plan that is fiscally prudent, consistent with the requirements of Measure J and this Agreement, and that provides funding sufficient for the Stadium Authority to pay all
Development Costs and for Stadco to pay all Tenant Improvement Costs. The Final Financing Plan shall be prepared by Stadco, in consultation with a working group composed of the
Executive Director, representatives of Stadco, and financial advisors selected by the Stadium Authority and Stadco, and shall be submitted to the Stadium Authority for review and approval as provided in this Section 6.3. The working group shall meet on a schedule to be agreed upon by the Parties, to review and discuss the evolution of the Financing Plan.

specified in the Schedule of Performance, the Parties shall make a good faith effort to mutually finalize and approve the Final Financing Plan. The Final Financing Plan shall provide, to the

Stadium Authority Sources will be available and will provide sufficient funds for development of the Project consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the approved Final Development
Budget, (ii) the proposed use of the funds comply with the requirements of the applicable
funding source, (iii) the Rent Schedule provides for Facility Rent that, together with other
amounts payable by Stadco under the Stadium Lease and other revenues of the Stadium

Financing, on terms and with a structure that can be issued with an investment grade credit
rating, is expected to be available, and (v) the Final Financing Plan is consistent with the
requirements of Measure J. If the Parties cannot develop a mutually acceptable Final Financing Plan by the time set forth in the Schedule of Performance, the Stadium Authority and Stadco
shall meet and confer to attempt to resolve the dispute. In connection with such dispute, both Stadco and the Stadium Authority agree to use their best effort to reach a solution expeditiously that is mutually satisfactory to both parties.

limitations satisfactory to the Stadium Authority on draws on any Stadium Authority Financing prior to the establishment of the GMP. The Funding Agreement shall require the establishment of one or more accounts into which all funds identified in the Final Financing Plan to pay
Development Costs shall be deposited, and from which such funds shall be disbursed
(collectively, the "Development Fund"). The Funding Agreement shall also describe records
maintenance, accounting, audit and other relevant procedures with which the parties to the Funding Agreement shall comply.
Section 6.5. Construction Cost Overrun. Stadco will be responsible to pay the amount, if any, by which the total, actual Development Costs incurred by the Stadium Authority exceed the amount of such costs set forth in the approved Final Development Budget (a "Cost
