6. Cost Index.
Beginning January 1, 2013, the amount of each cash contribution required by Proffers 2 and 3 shall be
adjusted annually until paid, to reflect any increase or decrease for the proceeding calendar year in the Marshall
and Swift Building Cost Index ( "MSI "). The annual adjustment shall be made by multiplying the proffered cash
contribution amount due for the preceding year by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the MSI as of
December 1 in the preceding calendar year, the denominator of which shall be the MSI as of December 1 in the
year preceding the calendar year most recently ended (the "Annual Percentage Change "). By way of example,
the first annual adjustment shall be $19,753.68 x 2013 MSI /2012 MSI. Each annual adjustment shall be based
on the amount of the proffered cash contribution due for the immediately preceding year based on the formula
contained in this Proffer 6 (the amount derived from such formula shall be referred to hereinafter as the "Cash
Contribution Due "), provided, however, in no, event shall the cash contribution amount paid by the Owner be
less than $19,753.68 per single family detached dwelling unit and $13,432.49 per single family attached
dwelling unit under Proffer 2 or $21,125.00 per affordable dwelling unit under Proffer 3 (the "Minimum Cash
Contribution "). The Annual Percentage Change shall be calculated each year using the Cash Contribution Due,
even though it may be less than the Minimum Cash Contribution, HOWEVER, the amount paid by the Owner
shall not be less than the Minimum Cash Contribution. For each cash contribution that is being paid in
increments, the unpaid incremental payments shall be correspondingly adjusted each year.
This Proffer Statement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original and
all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
