of the TDM plan (commencing with the first year in which
a penalty could be imposed), such penalty sums, in the
City's sole discretion, may be used by Owner toward the
implementation of the TDM plan instead of being paid to
the City. If the penalty is used to implement the TDM
Plan, an Implementation Plan shall be reviewed and
approved by the City prior to expending any penalty funds.
c. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of any penalty
shall bear the same relationship to the maximum penalty as
the completed construction to which the penalty applies
bears to the maximum amount of square feet of Office,
Commercial, Retail and Research and Development use
permitted to be constructed on the Property. For example,
if there is 100,000 square feet of completed construction o^
the Property included within the TDM report with respect
to which the penalty is imposed, the penalty would be
determined by multiplying fifteen thousand dollars
($15,000.00) times a fraction, the numerator of which is
100,000 square feet and the denominator of which is the
maximum amount of square feet of construction permitted
on the Property (subtracting the square footage of the
parking facilities); this amount would then be multiplied by
the number of percentage points below the thirty-five
percent (35%) alternative mode usage goal.
d. The provisions of this Section are incorporated as
Conditions of Approval for the Project and shall be
included in the approved TDM for the Project.
(e) Mass Decontamination System Contribution. As Owner's "fair share"
contribution to the (:ity's emergency preparedness, Owner shall pay an in-lieu fee
to be used to fund a portion of the costs of purchasing a mobile, prefabricated
mass decontamination system, capable of serving ambulatory and non-
Page 10 of 23

hundred fifty (250) pf;rsons per hour. The in-lieu fee shall be in the amount of
thirty thousand dollars ($30,000.00), and shall be payable prior to the issuance of

part of the Project. The in-lieu fee shall be deposited and held in a separate
