Notwithstanding the Expiration Date identified at Page I of this Agreement and referenced in Section 4.01, the Grantee will submit the annual certification reports during the initial "compliance period" and any "extended use period," or until such time as the Council terminates this annual reporting requirement by written notice to the Grantee. (d) The grant funds made available to the Grantee and disbursed to the Project Owner by the Grantee in the form of a loan may be used only for the grant -eligible activities and Project components for which the Grantee was awarded the grant funds. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term "Project Owner" means the current Project Owner and any Project Owner successor(s). (e) Pursuant to Section 2.05, the grant funds made available to the Grantee and disbursed to the Project Owner in the form of a loan shall not be used by the Grantee, the Project Owner or others to supplant or replace: (1) grant or loan funds obtained for the Project from other sources; (2) Grantee contributions to the Project, including financial assistance, real property or other resources of the Grantee; or (3) funding or budgetary commitments made by the Grantee or others prior to the Council Action, unless specifically authorized by the Council. The Council will not make the grant funds available to the Grantee in a lump sum payment, but will disburse the grant funds to the Grantee on a reimbursement basis pursuant to Section 2.11.

(g) The Grantee will, at its own expense, use diligent efforts to recover loan proceeds: (1) when the Project Owner becomes obligated to repay the Grantee's loan or defaults on the Grantee's loan; (2) when the initial thirty-year "compliance period" expires, unless the Council agrees in writing that the Grantee may make the grant funds available as a loan to the Project Owner for an "extended use period"; and (3) if noncompliance with low-income housing tax credit program requirements or some other event triggers the Project Owner's repayment obligations under its loan agreement with the Grantee.
