Price for an Acquisition Improvement shall be conditioned first upon the determination of the

complete and ready for acceptance by the Local Agency, and shall be further conditioned upon
prior satisfaction of the following additional conditions precedent:

similar documentation satisfactory to the Local Agency as evidence that the property which is
subject to the special assessment liens of the Assessment District is not subject to any prospective
mechanics lien claim respecting the Acquisition Improvements.

shall be current on property owned by the Developer or under option to the Developer that is
subject to the special assessment liens of the Assessment District.

needed to provide the Local Agency with title to the site, right-of-way, or easement upon which
B-6
4129-3812-4315.2
the subject Acquisition Improvements are situated. All such Title Documents shall be in a form
acceptable to the Local Agency (or applicable governmental agency) and shall convey Acceptable
Title. The Developer shall provide a policy of title insurance as of the date of transfer in a form
acceptable to the Local Agency Engineer insuring the Local Agency as to the interests acquired in
connection with the acquisition of any interest for which such a policy of title insurance is not
required by another agreement between the Local Agency and the Developer. Each title insurance
policy required hereunder shall be in the amount equal to or greater than the Acquisition Price.

Developer acknowledge and agree that the SCIP Trustee shall make payment strictly in accordance
with the SCIP Requisition and shall not be required to determine whether or not the Acquisition
Improvements have been completed or what the Actual Costs may be with respect to such
Acquisition Improvements. The SCIP Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the SCIP Requisition on
its face without any further duty of investigation.
