The Current Credit Balance does not include (i) the balance of the Storm Drain DIF Credits to be awarded under the Additional Storm Drain DIF Agreements, estimated to be $9,042,001 (less the $2,870,322.68 in DIF Credits already awarded under Additional Contract No. 2022-163), as set forth in Exhibit 4 attached or (ii) $55,816.80 in remaining pre-paid cash for the final 32 units in Tract 20161 as set forth in Section 1(c) below.
