days after receipt of each invoice; provided, however, Developer shall not be required to pay the
City Reimbursable Costs to the City more often than monthly. If the Developer fails to pay the City

the escrow agent in a form reasonably acceptable to the City. The escrow agreement shall provide
for the right of the City, after three (3) days written notice to Developer, to draw on the amount in
escrow to pay City Reimbursable Costs which have not been paid by Developer pursuant to this
Agreement Additionally, the escrow agreement shall provide that each time the balance in the
escrow drops below $50,000, Developer shall replenish the escrow to $50,000 within ten (10) days
after written notice from the City or the escrow agent. City Reimbursable Costs are also payable
from any offset of returned earnest money and Developer Reimbursable Costs, as described in
Section l2(b )(iii) hereof.
(f) Termination. (1) Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement in
accordance with its terms, the City will release the escrow to the Developer less any draw needed

the date of the City's termination of this Agreement or the City's receipt of the notice of
termination from the Developer. For the purposes of this paragraph, City Reimbursable Costs
are considered to be accrued if they relate to services performed and are payable under a contract
entered into on or before two (2) business days following the City's receipt of the notice of
termination.

without an MDA, and the City within two years after the effective date of termination or
expiration enters into a definitive development agreement with another developer who is not an
Affiliate as defined in Section 6 hereof (the "Successor Developer") regarding all or a portion of
the Development Property (the "New Development Property"), then the City will reimburse
Developer for the Developer Reimbursable Costs described on the attached Exhibit E (the
"Developer Reimbursable Costs"), except as otherwise provided in clause (3) of this Section
5(f). If the New Development Property consists of property less than the entire Development

Costs, multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the area in square feet of the New
Development Property, and the denominator of which is the area in square feet of the
Development Property minus the combined area in square feet of the Wildlife Area and the
Athletic Field Area.
