BUDGET FUNDING AGREEMENT FISCAL YEAR 2025

This Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of October 1, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), by and between:

Newfield Community Development District, a local unit of special-purpose government established pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, (“District”), and is located in Martin County, Florida (“County”), and

Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and the owner and/or developer of property located within the boundaries of the District (“Developer,” and together with the District, the “Parties”). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Property” shall refer to that certain property within the District owned by the Developer on the Effective Date of this Agreement.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, the District was established for the purpose of planning, financing, constructing, operating and/or maintaining certain infrastructure, and is authorized to levy such taxes, special assessments, fees, and other charges as may be necessary in furtherance of the District’s activities and services; and

WHEREAS, Developer presently owns and/or is developing the Property within the District, which Property will benefit from the timely construction and acquisition of the District’s facilities, activities, and services and from the continued operations of the District; and
WHEREAS, for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2024, and ending September 30, 2025 (“FY 2025”), the Board of Supervisors (“Board”) of the District adopted its general fund budget (“Budget”) attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference; and

WHEREAS, the Parties recognize the Budget may be amended from time to time in the sole discretion of the District; and
WHEREAS, the District has the option of levying non-ad valorem assessments on all lands within the District benefitting from the activities, operations and services set forth in the Budget, including the Property, or utilizing such other revenue sources as may be available to it; and
WHEREAS, in lieu of levying assessments on the Property, the Developer is willing to provide such funds as are necessary to allow the District to proceed with its operations as described in the Budget; and

WHEREAS, the Developer agrees that the activities, operations and services provide a special and peculiar benefit to the Property equal to or in excess of the costs reflected in the Budget; and

WHEREAS, the Developer agreed to enter into this Agreement in lieu of having the District levy and collect any non-ad valorem assessments as authorized by law against the lands within the District, including the Property, for the activities, operations, and services set forth in the Budget; and

WHEREAS, Developer and District agree such Budget funding obligation by the Developer may be secured and collection enforced pursuant to the methods provided herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, based upon good and valuable consideration and the mutual covenants of the parties, the receipt of which and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

FUNDING. The Developer agrees to make available to the District the monies (“Funding Obligation”) necessary for the operation of the District as called for in the Budget attached hereto as Exhibit A within thirty (30) days of written request by the District. Exhibit A attached hereto may be amended from time to time pursuant to Florida law, subject to the Developer’s consent to such amendments to incorporate them herein; provided however, that amendments adopted by the Board at a duly noticed meeting shall have the effect of amending this Agreement without further action of the Parties. As a point of clarification, the District shall only request as part of the Funding Obligation that the Developer fund the actual expenses of the District, and the Developer is not required to fund the total general fund Budget in the event that actual expenses are less than the projected total general fund Budget, as may be amended as provided herein. The funds shall be placed in the District’s general checking account. In the event the Developer sells any of the Property during the term of this Agreement, the Developer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain the same.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. The District hereby finds, and the Developer acknowledges and agrees, that the activities, operations and services set forth in the Budget provide a special and peculiar benefit to the Property, which benefit is initially allocated on an equal developable acreage basis. These payments are made by the Developer in lieu of taxes, fees, or assessments which might otherwise be levied or imposed by the District. Nothing contained herein shall constitute or be construed as a waiver of the District’s right to levy assessments, including on the Property, in the event of a funding deficit.

COLLECTION METHODS. The District may enforce the collection of funds due under this Agreement using one or more of the following collection methods:
The District shall have the right to file a continuing lien (“Lien”) upon all or a portion of the Property, which Lien shall be effective as of the date and time of the recording of a “Notice of Lien” in the public records of the County.
The District shall have the right to file an action against the Developer in the appropriate judicial forum in and for the County.
The District may certify amounts due hereunder as a non-ad valorem assessment on all or any part of the Property for collection, either through the Uniform Method of Collection set forth in Chapter 197, Florida Statutes, or under any method of direct bill and collection authorized by Florida law.

The enforcement of the collection of funds in any of the above manners, including which method(s) to utilize, shall be in the sole discretion of the District Manager on behalf of the District, without the need of further Board action authorizing or directing such.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS. This instrument shall constitute the final and complete expression of the agreement among the Parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. Amendments to and waivers of the provisions contained in this Agreement may be made only by an instrument in writing which is executed by both of the Parties hereto, except as set forth in Section 1.

AUTHORIZATION. The execution of this Agreement has been duly authorized by the appropriate body or official of all Parties hereto, each Party has complied with all of the requirements of law, and each Party has full power and authority to comply with the terms and provisions of this instrument.

ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement may be assigned, in whole or in part, by either party only upon the written consent of the other. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void.

DEFAULT. A default by either Party under this Agreement shall entitle the other to all remedies available at law or in equity, which shall include, but not be limited to, the right of damages, injunctive relief and/or specific performance.

ENFORCEMENT. In the event that any party is required to enforce this Agreement by court proceedings or otherwise, then the parties agree that the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other all costs incurred, including interest accrued on an unsatisfied Funding Obligation, reasonable fees and costs incurred by the District incident to the collection of the Funding Obligation or for enforcement of the Lien, or reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs for trial, alternative dispute resolution, or appellate proceedings.
THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the formal Parties herein and no right or cause of action shall accrue upon or by reason hereof, to or for the benefit of any third party not a formal party hereto. Nothing in this Agreement expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any person or corporation other than the Parties hereto any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any provisions or conditions hereof; and all of the provisions, representations, covenants and conditions herein contained shall inure to the sole benefit of and shall be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective representatives, successors and assigns.
