The Debt Service Schedule assumes that construction draws are made according to your community's projected draw schedule_ Any change in the construction draw schedule will affect the timing of deposits to the subsidy account and as a result your actual payments may be higher or lower than those sho~m on the Debt Service Schedule_ Additionally, proceeds deposited to a construction fund at the time of closing will be invested in accordance with Section 3.4 of the Project Finance Agreemgnt until they are dravrn upon. Interest accrued on these deposits will also be credited to your debt service payments. 625 Broadx~a}, 3_lbans; New '~ork 12207 2997 518.402.6924 · 800.882.9721 We want to thank you and your staff for your participation in our recent pooled financing and for the help we received in bringing this transaction to a successful closing.
