Present: Steve Bouchey, Hon. Robert Doherty, Hon. Dean Bodnar, Paul Carroll, Lou
Anthony, Bill Dunne, and Tina Urzan
Absent: Wallace Altes, Mary O’Neill and Lisa Kyer
Also in attendance: Justin Miller, Esq., Selena Skiba, Kenneth Crowe, Jim Conroy,
Sharon Martin, Monica Kurzejeski and Denee Zeigler
The public hearing portion of the meeting was called to order at 10:05 a.m. by Vice
Chairman Steve Bouchey. (See attached Public Hearing Agenda)
I. Monica Kurzejeski advised the board that Elon Emanuel was unable to
make the meeting today and spoke briefly about the project at 2 River
Street on his behalf. Mrs. Kurzejeski advised that the lease for Old Brick
Furniture will stay in place through phase I of the project where they
anticipate completing 48 apartments. After the lease runs out, they will
begin phase II and add more apartments until they reach their goal of 68.
Mrs. Kurzejeski advised he is anticipating having a high end lobby, a gym
that is available to the tenants and the public, and storage units. Mrs.
Kurzejeski mentioned that improvements will be done to the outside of
the building as well as the parking lots. Elon has also spoke to the
surrounding businesses about completing improvements.
Bob Doherty stated that it was important to keep the residential projects
such as this moving along and praised the board and the City for doing
so. Mr. Doherty asked a general question about how we arrive at the
figures for the PILOTs for each project. Justin Miller explained that there
are three kinds of assistance available for a project like this; a mortgage
recording tax, sales tax exemption and PILOT. The amount mortgage of
recording tax depends on the amount of debt they plan to have on the
project, the sales and use tax exemptions depends on the amount of
taxable things they will incorporate and the PILOT savings is specific to the
project. There is a general PILOT schedule that is used as a starting point
then Bill and Monica would work with the owners to come up with an
agreement. A cost benefit analysis and project description are factored in
as well, a copy of which is included in the public hearing packet. Mr.
Doherty added that he was happy with the direction we are taking when it
comes to assisting residents and tenants, speaking about the O’Neil
Apartments and Monument Square Apartments. Bill Dunne spoke about
the process of coming up with the PILOT, advising that they try to abate
the increase to allow the project to be feasible. There will still be
1
significant benefit to the City and IDA through fees and investments. Mr.
Dunne also noted that this project is further South than downtown where
we have worked in the past. Mr. Doherty asked if we graduate the
property taxes when a home owner makes significant upgrades to a
property. Mr. Dunne advised that there is a section of the code that allows
this. Mr. Doherty stated this would be a tool that could also attract people
to Troy. The Vice Chairman asked if there were any other additional
comments. There were no additional comments and the Vice Chairman
closed the public hearing portion of the meeting at 10:15.
II. Mansions on Water’s Edge, LLC
Justin Miller spoke about the attached project authorizing resolution for
Mansions the Water’s Edge LLC. Mr. Miller advised it is the final step for
the IDA to approve the project and proceed to the closing. He also noted
that pages three and four of the resolutions are slightly different than
previous resolutions due to the changes in March to the Uniform Tax
Exemption Policy. Bob Doherty asked if there would be any market rate
apartments. Bill Dunne advised 68 apartments. The Vice Chairman asked
if there were any additional questions from the board. (See attached
Resolution 13-07 #1)
Hon. Bob Doherty made a motion to approve the
Authorizing Resolution.
Paul Carroll seconded the motion, motion carried.
III. The Chairman asked for a motion to approve the Minutes from the June 10,
2013 board meeting.
Hon. Dean Bodnar made a motion to approve the
Minutes.
Lou Anthony seconded the motion, motion carried.
IV. Dauchy/River Triangle building
Bill Dunne spoke about the progress with the Dauchy/River Triangle building.
Mr. Dunne advised that they have been in to get demo and interior framing
permits. They are also lined up for the next Planning Commission meeting for
site plan approval. Mr. Dunne also advised that they are currently talking to
them about an upcoming PILOT that will be similar to the Mansions on Water’s
Edge. The developer plans to have the project complete and tenants in place by
the end of the year. Bob Doherty asked about market rate apartments. Mr.
Dunne advised about 25 apartments on the 2nd-4th floors. Steve Bouchey asked
if there was a plan to incorporate the Cinema Art Building or will it be a separate
project. Bill Dunne advised they did not have a solid plan at this time, but will
revisit it at another time.
2
V. The Cookie Factory
Monica Kurzejeski advised that The Cookie Factory is getting ready to go in front
of the Planning Commission in August. Mrs. Kurzejeski advised they are also
working on a PILOT that will be ready for the board in September. A brief recap
of the project was given to the board. Steve Bouchey asked if retail is part of
the plan for the new site. Mrs. Kurzejeski advised not in the beginning, but at
some point they may consider it because of other developments that will be
going on in that area. Mrs. Kurzejeski advised that there will be some interior
improvements to the building as well.
VI. Campbell’s Ave
Monica Kurzejeski advised that there is a project in the works for the former car
wash on Campbell’s Ave. Mrs. Kurzejeski anticipated an IDA application to be
completed for this meeting, but will add it to the next agenda.
VII. Adjournment
The Vice Chairman asked if there were any other questions or comments from
the board. Tina Urzan asked if any other board members were able to attend
the Stoneledge open house this weekend. Mrs. Urzan advised that they have

III. PROJECT SUMMARY
MANSIONS AT THE WATER’S EDGE LLC (the “Company”), has requested the
Authority’s assistance with a certain project (the “Project”) consisting of (i) the acquisition by
the Authority of a leasehold or other interest in certain parcels of real property located in the
vicinity of 2 River Street, Troy, New York 12180 (the “Land”, being comprised of 4 parcels of
real property identified as TMID Nos. 100.76-9-21, 100.76-9-22, 100.76-9-23, and 100.76-9-24)
and the existing improvements located thereon, including an approximately 110,000 square foot,
multi-story commercial and warehouse building structure located thereon (the “Existing
Improvements”); (B) the renovation, reconstruction, refurbishing and equipping by the Company
as agent of the Authority of the Existing Improvements to provide for up to 68 market rate
apartment units, including the reconfiguration of existing commercial and warehouse space to
accommodate apartment units, along with the installation and improvement of common areas,
heating systems, plumbing, roofs, windows and other site and infrastructure improvements
(collectively, the “Improvements”), all of the foregoing intended for the Company’s ownership
and operation of the Improvements as a commercial housing facility that will be leased by the
Company to residential tenants; (C) the acquisition of and installation in and around the Land,
Existing Improvements and Improvements of certain machinery, fixtures, equipment and other
items of tangible personal property (the “Equipment” and, collectively with the Land, the
Existing Improvements and the Improvements, the “Facility”); and (D) the lease of the
Authority’s interest in the Facility back to the Company.
It is contemplated that the Authority will acquire a leasehold interest in the Facility and
lease the Facility back to the Company. The Company will operate the Facility during the term
of the leases. The Authority contemplates that it will provide financial assistance (the “Financial
Assistance”) to the Company in the form of (a) a sales and use tax exemption for purchases and
rentals related to the Project; (b) mortgage recording tax exemptions(s) related to financings
undertaken by the Company to construct the Facility; and (c) a partial real property tax
abatement structured through a PILOT Agreement. The foregoing Financial Assistance and the
Authority’s involvement in the Project are being considered to promote the economic welfare
and prosperity of residents of the City of Troy, New York.
The Authority is contemplating a deviation from the UTEP to provide the following
PILOT parameters: (i) the Authority contemplates utilizing a fixed “Base Value” of $654,000
Full Market Value for the Land; and (ii) the PILOT Agreement will carry a term of 15 years and
provide a graduated abatement factor (“Abatement Factor”) applied to the increased assessed
valuation attributable to the Improvements made to the Facility by the Company, as an Agent of
the Authority, for the Project (the “Added Value”). The abatement schedule shall allow for a
100% exemption from taxation for the Added Value in PILOT Years one through eight, with
such exemption being reduced to 80% in PILOT Year nine, 60% in PILOT Year ten, 40% in
PILOT years eleven and twelve, and 20% in PILOT Years thirteen through fifteen.
IV. AGENCY COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
The Company Application for Financial Assistance indicates a total project cost of
approximately $8,000,000. Based upon additional information provided by the Company, the
Agency estimates the following amounts of financial assistance to be provided to the Company:
Mortgage Recording Tax Exemptions
($8,000,000 Mortgage) = $80,000.00
Sales and Use Tax Exemptions
(Estimated $5.2M in taxable materials) = $416,000.00
PILOT Savings = $1,157,872.00
Total estimated Financial Assistance = $1,653,872.00
** - PILOT savings based on assumed as-completed assessed value of $4,000,000, which would
generate an estimated $2,080,000 in taxes over 15 years without a PILOT Agreement. The
abatement schedule will provide an estimated $ 1,157,872 in net exemption savings.
IV. SEQRA:
The City Planning Commission has undertaken a review of the Project as lead agency
under Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law and Regulations adopted pursuant
thereto by the Department of Environmental Conservation of the State of New York
(collectively, “SEQRA”). The Authority anticipates ratifying the findings of the Planning
Commission upon approval of the Project.

Section 1. The Company has presented an application in a form acceptable to the
Authority. Based upon the representations made by the Company to the Authority in the
Company's application and in related correspondence, the Authority hereby finds and determines
that:
(A) By virtue of the Act, the Authority has been vested with all powers necessary and
convenient to carry out and effectuate the purposes and provisions of the Act and to exercise all
powers granted to it under the Act; and
(B) The Authority has the authority to take the actions contemplated herein under the
Act; and
Page 3 of 9
(C) The action to be taken by the Authority will induce the Company to develop the
Project, thereby increasing employment opportunities in the City of Troy, New York, and
otherwise furthering the purposes of the Authority as set forth in the Act; and
(D) The Project will not result in the removal of a civic, commercial, industrial, or
manufacturing plant of the Company or any other proposed occupant of the Project from one
area of the State of New York (the “State”) to another area of the State or result in the
abandonment of one or more plants or facilities of the Company or any other proposed occupant
of the Project located within the State; and the Authority hereby finds that, based on the
Company’s application, to the extent occupants are relocating from one plant or facility to
another, the Project is reasonably necessary to discourage the Project occupants from removing
such other plant or facility to a location outside the State and/or is reasonably necessary to
preserve the competitive position of the Project occupants in their respective industries; and
(E) The Authority has reviewed the Negative Declaration adopted by the Planning
Commission and determined the Project involves an “Unlisted Action” as said term is defined
under SEQRA. The review is uncoordinated. Based upon the review by the Authority of the
Negative Declaration, related Environmental Assessment Form (the “EAF”) and related
documents delivered by the Company to the Authority and other representations made by the
Company to the Authority in connection with the Project, the Authority hereby ratifies the
SEQRA determination made by the Planning Commission and the Authority further finds that (i)
the Project will result in no major impacts and, therefore, is one which may not cause significant
damage to the environment; (ii) the Project will not have a “significant effect on the
environment” as such quoted terms are defined in SEQRA; and (iii) no “environmental impact
statement” as such quoted term is defined in SEQRA, need be prepared for this action. This
determination constitutes a negative declaration in connection with the Authority’s sponsorship
and involvement with the Project for purposes of SEQRA.
Section 2. The Authority hereby accepts the Minutes of the Public Hearing and,
subject to the conditions set forth herein, approves the provision of the proposed Financial
Assistance to the Company, including (i) a sales and use tax exemption for materials, supplies
and rentals acquired or procured in furtherance of the Project by the Company as agent of the
Authority; (ii) mortgage recording tax exemption(s) in connection with secured financings
undertaken by the Company in furtherance of the Project; and (iii) an abatement or exemption
from real property taxes levied against the Facility pursuant to a PILOT Agreement.
Section 3. Subject to the Company executing the Agent Agreement and Leaseback
Agreement, and the delivery to the Authority of a binder, certificate or other evidence of liability
insurance policy for the Project satisfactory to the Authority, the Authority hereby authorizes the
Company to proceed with the acquisition, renovation, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation
and equipping of the Project and hereby appoints the Company as the true and lawful agent of
the Authority: (i) to acquire, construct and equip the Project; (ii) to make, execute, acknowledge
and deliver any contracts, orders, receipts, writings and instructions, as the stated agent for the
Authority with the authority to delegate such Authority, in whole or in part, to agents, subagents,
contractors, and subcontractors of such agents and subagents and to such other parties as the
Company chooses; and (iii) in general, to do all things which may be requisite or proper for
completing the Project, all with the same powers and the same validity that the Authority could
Page 4 of 9
do if acting in its own behalf; provided, however, the Agent Agreement shall expire on
December 31, 2015 (unless extended for good cause by the Executive Director of the Authority).
Section 3. Based upon the representation and warranties made by the Company the
Application, the Authority hereby authorizes and approves the Company, as its agent, to make
purchases of goods and services relating to the Project and that would otherwise be subject to
New York State and local sales and use tax in an amount up to approximately $5,200,000.00,
which result in New York State and local sales and use tax exemption benefits (“sales and use
tax exemption benefits”) not to exceed $416,000.00. The Authority agrees to consider any
requests by the Company for increase to the amount of sales and use tax exemption benefits
authorized by the Authority upon being provided with appropriate documentation detailing the
additional purchases of property or services, and, to the extent required, the Authority authorizes
and conducts any supplemental public hearing(s).
Section 4. Pursuant to Section 1963-b of the Act, the Authority may recover or
recapture from the Company, its agents, consultants, subcontractors, or any other party
authorized to make purchases for the benefit of the Project, any sales and use tax exemption
benefits taken or purported to be taken by the Company, its agents, consultants, subcontractors,
or any other party authorized to make purchases for the benefit of the Project, if it is determined
that: (i) the Company, its agents, consultants, subcontractors, or any other party authorized to
make purchases for the benefit of the Project, is not entitled to the sales and use tax exemption
benefits; (ii) the sales and use tax exemption benefits are in excess of the amounts authorized to
be taken by the Company, its agents, consultants, subcontractors, or any other party authorized to
make purchases for the benefit of the Project; (iii) the sales and use tax exemption benefits are
for property or services not authorized by the Authority as part of the Project; (iv) the Company
has made a material false statement on its application for financial assistance; (v) the sales and
use tax exemption benefits are taken in cases where the Company, its agents, consultants,
subcontractors, or any other party authorized to make purchases for the benefit of the Project
fails to comply with a material term or condition to use property or services in the manner
approved by the Authority in connection with the Project; and/or (vi) the Company obtains
mortgage recording tax benefits and/or real property tax abatements and fails to comply with a
material term or condition to use property or services in the manner approved by the Authority in
connection with the Project (collectively, items (i) through (vi) hereby defined as a “Recapture
Event”).
As a condition precedent of receiving sales and use tax exemption benefits, mortgage
recording tax exemption benefits, and real property tax abatement benefits, the Company, its
agents, consultants, subcontractors, or any other party authorized to make purchases for the
benefit of the Project, must (i) if a Recapture Event determination is made by the Authority,

exemption benefits, mortgage recording tax benefits and/or real property tax abatements

the Authority of a leasehold or other interest in certain parcels of real property located in the
vicinity of 2 River Street, Troy, New York 12180 (the “Land”, being comprised of 4 parcels of
real property identified as TMID Nos. 100.76-9-21, 100.76-9-22, 100.76-9-23, and 100.76-9-24)
and the existing improvements located thereon, including an approximately 110,000 square foot,
multi-story commercial and warehouse building structure located thereon (the “Existing
Improvements”); (B) the renovation, reconstruction, refurbishing and equipping by the Company
as agent of the Authority of the Existing Improvements to provide for up to 68 market rate
apartment units, including the reconfiguration of existing commercial and warehouse space to
accommodate apartment units, along with the installation and improvement of common areas,
heating systems, plumbing, roofs, windows and other site and infrastructure improvements
(collectively, the “Improvements”), all of the foregoing intended for the Company’s ownership
2
and operation of the Improvements as a commercial housing facility that will be leased by the
Company to residential tenants; (C) the acquisition of and installation in and around the Land,
Existing Improvements and Improvements of certain machinery, fixtures, equipment and other
items of tangible personal property (the “Equipment” and, collectively with the Land, the
Existing Improvements and the Improvements, the “Facility”); and (D) the lease of the
Authority’s interest in the Facility back to the Company.
It is contemplated that the Authority will acquire a leasehold interest in the Facility and
lease the Facility back to the Company. The Company will operate the Facility during the term
of the leases. The Authority contemplates that it will provide financial assistance (the “Financial
Assistance”) to the Company in the form of (a) a sales and use tax exemption for purchases and
rentals related to the Project; (b) mortgage recording tax exemptions(s) related to financings
undertaken by the Company to construct the Facility; and (c) a partial real property tax
abatement structured through a PILOT Agreement. The foregoing Financial Assistance and the
Authority’s involvement in the Project are being considered to promote the economic welfare
and prosperity of residents of the City of Troy, New York.
The Authority is contemplating a deviation from the UTEP to provide the following
PILOT parameters: (i) the Authority contemplates utilizing a fixed “Base Value” of $654,000
Full Market Value for the Land; and (ii) the PILOT Agreement will carry a term of 15 years and
provide a graduated abatement factor (“Abatement Factor”) applied to the increased assessed
valuation attributable to the Improvements made to the Facility by the Company, as an Agent of
the Authority, for the Project (the “Added Value”). The abatement schedule shall allow for a
100% exemption from taxation for the Added Value in PILOT Years one through eight, with
such exemption being reduced to 80% in PILOT Year nine, 60% in PILOT Year ten, 40% in
PILOT years eleven and twelve, and 20% in PILOT Years thirteen through fifteen.
IV. AGENCY COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
The Company Application for Financial Assistance indicates a total project cost of
approximately $8,000,000. Based upon additional information provided by the Company, the
Agency estimates the following amounts of financial assistance to be provided to the Company:
Mortgage Recording Tax Exemptions
($8,000,000 Mortgage) = $80,000.00
Sales and Use Tax Exemptions
(Estimated $5.2M in taxable materials) = $416,000.00
PILOT Savings = $1,157,872.00
Total estimated Financial Assistance = $1,653,872.00
** - PILOT savings based on assumed as-completed assessed value of $4,000,000, which would
generate an estimated $2,080,000 in taxes over 15 years without a PILOT Agreement. The
abatement schedule will provide an estimated $ 1,157,872 in net exemption savings.

IV. SEQRA:
The City Planning Commission has undertaken a review of the Project as lead agency
under Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law and Regulations adopted pursuant
thereto by the Department of Environmental Conservation of the State of New York
(collectively, “SEQRA”). The Authority anticipates ratifying the findings of the Planning
Commission upon approval of the Project.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE TROY
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Company has presented an application in a form acceptable to the
Authority. Based upon the representations made by the Company to the Authority in the
Company's application and in related correspondence, the Authority hereby finds and determines
that:
(A) By virtue of the Act, the Authority has been vested with all powers necessary and
convenient to carry out and effectuate the purposes and provisions of the Act and to exercise all
powers granted to it under the Act; and
(B) The Authority has the authority to take the actions contemplated herein under the
Act; and
Page 3 of 9
7
(C) The action to be taken by the Authority will induce the Company to develop the
Project, thereby increasing employment opportunities in the City of Troy, New York, and
otherwise furthering the purposes of the Authority as set forth in the Act; and
(D) The Project will not result in the removal of a civic, commercial, industrial, or
manufacturing plant of the Company or any other proposed occupant of the Project from one
area of the State of New York (the “State”) to another area of the State or result in the
abandonment of one or more plants or facilities of the Company or any other proposed occupant
of the Project located within the State; and the Authority hereby finds that, based on the
Company’s application, to the extent occupants are relocating from one plant or facility to
another, the Project is reasonably necessary to discourage the Project occupants from removing
such other plant or facility to a location outside the State and/or is reasonably necessary to
preserve the competitive position of the Project occupants in their respective industries; and
(E) The Authority has reviewed the Negative Declaration adopted by the Planning
Commission and determined the Project involves an “Unlisted Action” as said term is defined
under SEQRA. The review is uncoordinated. Based upon the review by the Authority of the
Negative Declaration, related Environmental Assessment Form (the “EAF”) and related
documents delivered by the Company to the Authority and other representations made by the
Company to the Authority in connection with the Project, the Authority hereby ratifies the
SEQRA determination made by the Planning Commission and the Authority further finds that (i)
the Project will result in no major impacts and, therefore, is one which may not cause significant
damage to the environment; (ii) the Project will not have a “significant effect on the
environment” as such quoted terms are defined in SEQRA; and (iii) no “environmental impact
statement” as such quoted term is defined in SEQRA, need be prepared for this action. This
determination constitutes a negative declaration in connection with the Authority’s sponsorship
and involvement with the Project for purposes of SEQRA.
Section 2. The Authority hereby accepts the Minutes of the Public Hearing and,
subject to the conditions set forth herein, approves the provision of the proposed Financial
Assistance to the Company, including (i) a sales and use tax exemption for materials, supplies
and rentals acquired or procured in furtherance of the Project by the Company as agent of the
Authority; (ii) mortgage recording tax exemption(s) in connection with secured financings
undertaken by the Company in furtherance of the Project; and (iii) an abatement or exemption
from real property taxes levied against the Facility pursuant to a PILOT Agreement.
Section 3. Subject to the Company executing the Agent Agreement and Leaseback
Agreement, and the delivery to the Authority of a binder, certificate or other evidence of liability
insurance policy for the Project satisfactory to the Authority, the Authority hereby authorizes the
Company to proceed with the acquisition, renovation, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation
and equipping of the Project and hereby appoints the Company as the true and lawful agent of
the Authority: (i) to acquire, construct and equip the Project; (ii) to make, execute, acknowledge
and deliver any contracts, orders, receipts, writings and instructions, as the stated agent for the
Authority with the authority to delegate such Authority, in whole or in part, to agents, subagents,
contractors, and subcontractors of such agents and subagents and to such other parties as the
Page 4 of 9
8
Company chooses; and (iii) in general, to do all things which may be requisite or proper for
completing the Project, all with the same powers and the same validity that the Authority could
do if acting in its own behalf; provided, however, the Agent Agreement shall expire on
December 31, 2015 (unless extended for good cause by the Executive Director of the Authority).
Section 3. Based upon the representation and warranties made by the Company the
Application, the Authority hereby authorizes and approves the Company, as its agent, to make
purchases of goods and services relating to the Project and that would otherwise be subject to
New York State and local sales and use tax in an amount up to approximately $5,200,000.00,
which result in New York State and local sales and use tax exemption benefits (“sales and use
tax exemption benefits”) not to exceed $416,000.00. The Authority agrees to consider any
requests by the Company for increase to the amount of sales and use tax exemption benefits
authorized by the Authority upon being provided with appropriate documentation detailing the
additional purchases of property or services, and, to the extent required, the Authority authorizes
and conducts any supplemental public hearing(s).
Section 4. Pursuant to Section 1963-b of the Act, the Authority may recover or
recapture from the Company, its agents, consultants, subcontractors, or any other party
authorized to make purchases for the benefit of the Project, any sales and use tax exemption
benefits taken or purported to be taken by the Company, its agents, consultants, subcontractors,
or any other party authorized to make purchases for the benefit of the Project, if it is determined
that: (i) the Company, its agents, consultants, subcontractors, or any other party authorized to
make purchases for the benefit of the Project, is not entitled to the sales and use tax exemption
benefits; (ii) the sales and use tax exemption benefits are in excess of the amounts authorized to
be taken by the Company, its agents, consultants, subcontractors, or any other party authorized to
make purchases for the benefit of the Project; (iii) the sales and use tax exemption benefits are
for property or services not authorized by the Authority as part of the Project; (iv) the Company
has made a material false statement on its application for financial assistance; (v) the sales and
use tax exemption benefits are taken in cases where the Company, its agents, consultants,
subcontractors, or any other party authorized to make purchases for the benefit of the Project
fails to comply with a material term or condition to use property or services in the manner
approved by the Authority in connection with the Project; and/or (vi) the Company obtains
mortgage recording tax benefits and/or real property tax abatements and fails to comply with a
material term or condition to use property or services in the manner approved by the Authority in
connection with the Project (collectively, items (i) through (vi) hereby defined as a “Recapture
Event”).
As a condition precedent of receiving sales and use tax exemption benefits, mortgage
recording tax exemption benefits, and real property tax abatement benefits, the Company, its
agents, consultants, subcontractors, or any other party authorized to make purchases for the
benefit of the Project, must (i) if a Recapture Event determination is made by the Authority,
cooperate with the Authority in its efforts to recover or recapture any sales and use tax
exemption benefits, mortgage recording tax benefits and/or real property tax abatements
abatement benefits, and (ii) promptly pay over any such amounts to the Authority that the
Authority demands, if and as so required to be paid over as determined by the Authority.
