Specifically, Property Owner hereby consents to the proceedings and waives any right to protest the formation of the District and the ordering of the Improvements under applicable California statutes and consents to and supports formation of said District with respect to the Project. 4. (a) Property Owner agrees to pay to City, or provide its fair share of the costs of the Faraday Avenue improvements (“Fair Share”) as set forth below. (b) Property Owner’s payment of its Fair Share, initially estimated to be in the amount of $3,362,713, shall be secured by the posting of cash or a letter of credit, in a form and from a financial institution acceptable to the City Finance Director, prior to the earlier of (i) transfer of a fee simple interest in all or any portion of the Property or (ii) issuance of a building permit for the first commercial structure to be constructed within the Project. If any portion of the Property is transferred without the posting of the required security, both the succeeding property owner and Property Owner shall be jointly and severally responsible for providing the required security. (c) The Property Owner’s Fair Share will be conclusively determined by the City Council in the manner described in Exhibit “B” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference based upon (i) the actual costs of Faraday Avenue or such other alternative improvements found by the City Council to be functionally equivalent to Faraday Avenue (“Functionally Equivalent Improvements”), if the District is not formed, or (ii) according to the methodology used to establish the spread of special taxes of the District, if the District is formed. 265359-1 4 (d) Any funds paid to the City shall be held in an interest-bearing account and disbursed only for use in the construction of Faraday Avenue or the Functionally Equivalent Improvements. (e) Alternatively, if the District is formed and the Project is included within it, Property Owner’s obligation to pay its Fair Share pursuant to this Agreement shall be satisfied upon formation of the District through the issuance of bonds and levy of special taxes of the District. In addition, within a reasonable time after formation of the District all funds held by the City provided by the Property Owner pursuant to this Agreement that have not been previously expended for Faraday Avenue or Functionally Equivalent Improvements will be returned to the Property Owner or any letter of credit provided on behalf of the Property Owner pursuant to this Agreement will be released.

Property Owner hereby waives its right to challenge the amount, establishment or imposition of said Fair Share and further waives any rights to pay said Fair Share under protest. 7. This Agreement does not affect, in any way whatsoever, the obligation of Property Owner to pay any other fees or assessments associated with Property Owner’s development and/or to post improvement bonds as required by the City Engineer. Nor does this Agreement relieve Property Owner from providing other public facilities required under conditions placed upon the Property by the applicable tentative map CT 98-10 by the City. 8. Property Owner agrees that payment of its Fair Share is not a fee and waives any and all rights to notice of or challenges to the establishment or imposition of said Fair Share as a fee under provisions of Government Code Section 66000, et. seq. or any successor or related statutes. (a) 9. In the event no District is formed, funds on deposit will be utilized only as a fair share of costs to otherwise complete Faraday Avenue or Functionally Equivalent Improvements.

(d) No reimbursement is required unless and until the City Council determines that sufficient funds are available to complete construction of Faraday Avenue or the Functionally Equivalent Improvements. 10. (a) Upon completion of Faraday Avenue or the Functionally Equivalent Improvements, and recording of the Notice of Completion for the final phase of the construction, the City Engineer shall determine the total cost of all construction and all related work (“Costs’’), and the Finance Director shall determine the total amount of revenue including fees, taxes, interest earned on funds received by the City dedicated to paying for such construction (“Revenues”). The Finance Director shall then compare the amount of Costs and Revenues to determine if there are any excess Revenues in an amount and in the manner described below. If excess Revenues are equal to, or less than $10,000, the City shall retain these funds in a special fund to be used to finance street repair, maintenance, and landscaping of the improvements. (b) The total amount of excess Revenues shall be determined by deducting the amount of the Costs from the available Revenues. Total project Costs shall include all costs to plan, design, construct, mitigate environmental impacts, inspect, and otherwise complete the project to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, including applicable charges for City staff services. Total Revenues shall include all monies held by the City dedicated exclusively to the construction of Faraday Avenue or the 265359-1 7 Functionally Equivalent Improvements including any fee revenues earmarked for the Project, CFD No. 3 taxes and bond proceeds, grants, and interest earned on restricted funds as determined by the Finance Director. (c) The amount of the refund due to Property Owner shall be based on its proportionate share of the Costs and Revenues as determined in accordance with Exhibit B. (d) In order to share in the refund of any portion of the excess Revenues, the eligible party must request to be included in the distribution of funds. Such request must be made within 90 days after the City Council’s acceptance of the Notice of Completion for the final phase of construction. Each request must be accompanied by documents indicating clear title to the refund unless the request is being made by the party who originally paid the funds to the City pursuant to this Agreement. As a courtesy to all interested parties, the City will maintain a file of those individuals or companies entitled to a refund, and will mail notices of refund availability to the names and addresses in this file following the City Council’s’ acceptance of the final Notice of Completion. It is the eligible party’s responsibility to notify the City if the right to any refunds under this section is assigned to another party, or if there is a change in name or address for the eligible party. The City takes no responsibility for the accuracy of the information included in this file, and is under no obligation to locate persons or entities who are entitled to refunds. Failure to notify any party of the availability of excess Revenues shall not obligate the City in any way to extend or modify the above refund procedures. 265359-1 8 (e) The Finance Director shall compute the amount of the refund due the Property Owner as described above. Funds may be reimbursed to the Property Owner following City Council approval of such reimbursement. 11. Compliance with this Agreement will be accepted by City as the financial guarantee for Faraday Avenue required by the Tentative Map Condition. 12. This Agreement does not require City to issue building permits or other development permits or grant approvals or relieve Property Owner of the obligation to comply with all applicable provisions of law, including but not limited to Carlsbad Municipal Code Titles 18, 19,20 and 2 1. 13. Compliance with the provisions of this Agreement is a condition of all future discretionary approval for the Project.
