LOCAL HOUSING INCENTIVES ACCOUNT made without interest or periodic payments), revolving loans (loans made with interest and periodic payments) or otherwise make the grant funds available on a "revolving" basis for the purposes of implementing the Project activities described or identified in Attachment A . The Grantee will submit annual written reports to the Council that report on the uses of the grant funds. The form and content of the report will be determined by the Council. This annual reporting requirement is in addition to the reporting requirements stated in Section 3.03. Notwithstanding the Expiration Date identified at Page 1 of this Agreement and referenced in Section 4.01, the Grantee will submit the annual reports until the deferred or revolving loan programs terminate, or until such time as the Council terminates this annual reporting requirement by written notice from the Council. At its discretion, the Council may: (1) permit the Grantee to use loan repayments to continue supporting affordable housing components of the Project; or (2) require the Grantee to remit the grant funds to the Council. 2.08. Restrictions on Loans by Subrecipients. The Grantee shall not permit any subgrantee or subrecipient to use the grant funds for loans to any subrecipient at any tier unless the Grantee obtains the prior written consent of the Council. The requirements of this Section 2.08 shall be included in all subgrant and subrecipient agreements. 2.09. Project Commencement and Changes. The Project for which grant funds were requested must be "commenced" prior to the Expiration Date. The Grantee must promptly inform the Council in writing of any significant changes to the Project for which the grant funds were awarded, as well as any potential changes to the grant -funded activities described or identified in Attachment A. Failure to inform the Council of any significant changes to the Project or significant changes to grant -funded components of the Project, and use of grant funds for ineligible or unauthorized purposes, will jeopardize the Grantee's eligibility for future LCA awards. Grant funds will not be disbursed prior to Council approval of significant changes to either the Project or grant -funded activities described or identified in Attachment A. 2.10. Loss of Grant Funds. The Grantee agrees to remit to the Council in a prompt manner: any unspent grant funds, including any grant funds that are not expended prior to the Expiration Date identified at Page 1 of this Agreement; any grant funds that are not used for the authorized purposes; any grant funds that are not matched on a dollar -for -dollar basis as required by Section 2.03; and any interest earnings described in Section 2.12 that are not used for the purposes of implementing the grant -funded Project activities described or identified in Attachment A. For the purposes of this Agreement, grant funds are "expended" prior to the Expiration Date if the Grantee pays or is obligated to pay for expenses of eligible grant -funded Project activities that occurred prior to the Expiration Date and the eligible expenses were incurred prior to the Expiration Date. Unspent or unused grant funds and other funds remitted to the Council shall revert to the Council's Local Housing Incentives Account for distribution through application processes in future Funding Cycles or as otherwise permitted by law. 2.11. Payment Request Forms, Documentation, and Disbursements. The Council will disburse grant funds in response to written payment requests submitted by the Grantee and reviewed and approved by the Council's authorized agent. Written payment requests shall be made using payment request forms, the form and content of which will be determined by the Council. Payment request and other reporting forms will be provided to the Grantee by the Council. Payment requests must include the following documentation: Page 5 of 10 Pages 2015(12-2014) LHIA rev. 12/05/14
