calculation of the Estimated Cost to Complete.The grounds for any objection are limited solely to
a good faith determination by Fort Worth that the balance of the Security Funds is insufficient to

calculation of the Estimated Cost to Complete is outside a range of five percent (5%) of
Developer's Estimated Cost to Complete, then Fort Worth and Developer, through a designated
representative, will reconcile the calculations and jointly approve an Estimated Cost to Complete
and advise Escrow Agent to disburse the amount as jointly determined.
