Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority RIDC and Loan Program Overview Approximately one week a�er the PIDA Board Mee�ng, a commitment le�er will arrive from PIDA. It will come to RIDC, we will review it for correctness. We will then forward the le݀

2 074;er onto you. Once you have review
074;er onto you. Once you have reviewed the terms and condi�ons and signed the commitment le�er, it should be returned to my a�en�on at RIDC. Included with the commitment le�er should be a check made payable to Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority in the amount of 1% of the loan. RIDC signs the commitment le�er and returns it to PIDA along with the commitment fee. This must be completed within 30 days. When the commitment le�er is returned to PIDA, RIDC then sends a copy of the le�er to RIDC’s legal counsel, Babst, Calland, Clements & Zomnir. There are several documents between RIDC, the industrial occupant, the bene�cial owner and any guarantors which must be dra�ed and executed prior to or at closing. These will be dra�ed and sent to you and your legal counsel within a month or so. Please remember that RIDC’s legal fees are to be paid by you. As invoices are received on a monthly basis, they will be sent to you for direct payment. For a simple project, they can average around $5,000. If the project has problems or complica�ons, the fees will be higher. These fees, combined with your company’s outside legal fees, up to $50,000 maximum are PIDA eligible project costs. Your commitment le�er includes a place for you to name your outside legal counsel. This informa�on is given to the Commonwealth’s legal o�ce and they begin dra�ing a closing checklist, cost a�davit and a le�er detailing what must be done in order to schedule a closing. The closing must be scheduled within one year of the loan approval. Closing Loan closing must occur within one year of the loan approval. Disbursements may occur at closing or subsequent to closing. New construc�on projects – prior to closing a survey is required showing the loca�on of any present and proposed improvements, all present and proposed u�lity lines, easements, rights of way, restric�ons, encroachments and building set-back lines, together with a metes and bounds descrip�on of the land parcel. Several items are required in order to schedule a closing: 1. A�davit of Costs - This form must be submi�ed for all drawdown requests and not prior to closing (unless you plan to have the 1st draw occur at closing). Please retain on a consistent basis copies of all invoices or checks for your project. A detailed spreadsheet along with these copies can be submi�ed to RIDC and we will �nalize the A�davit of Costs and send to you for signature. This is a much easier process if copies are kept as the project progresses. In addi�on, the more organized and detailed your submission is to RIDC, the quicker the process will take. 2. Insurance documenta�on . Requirements are outlined on the closing checklist you receive from the legal o�ce. The Cer��cate of Insurance should be submi�ed to me for forwarding onto PIDA. 3. Survey. Please note that the as-built survey must be submi�ed to RIDC and the Commonwealth’s legal o�ce. The cer��ca�on is included with the closing checklist sent by the legal o�ce. 4. Copy of Deed to property ; copy of proposed deed to RIDC and back to your company 5. Bank loan documents (if any). 6. Copy of Lease Agreement (if any). 7. Phase I Environmental Survey It is important to remember that any changes to the project (ie. Ownership, changes in �nancing) MUST be cleared �rst with the PIDA Board through RIDC before they can go into e�ect. Disbursement Procedures Up to three disbursements can be made. Acquisi�on projects – all loan funds must be drawn down within 6 months of closing. PIDA may rescind its loan commitment or increase the interest rate on the loan by 1% if this deadline is not met. New Construc�on – an ini�al draw of at least 10% of the loan must be made within 12 months of closing. PIDA may rescind its loan commitment or increase the interest rate on the loan by 1% if this deadline is not met. The en�re loan must be drawn down within 24 months of closing. Addi�onal interest rate penal�es may be imposed if there are further delays in drawdowns. If a disbursement is to occur at the �me of closing, closing instruc�ons and PIDA funds will be sent to a licensed �tle insurance agent selected by the borrower who must provide PIDA with a closing services le�er from a �tle insurance company which will protect PIDA’s interests in the event the closing agent does not comply with our closing instruc�ons.
