6. Defendant San Bernardino County Auditor-Controller/Treasurer/Tax Collector has disclaimed any interest in the proceeds of this case and has requested that no further pleadings be served upon it. Dkt. No. 10.

7. In order to settle this action, the parties agree that the just compensation payable by the United States for the taking of the Subject Property as described in the Declaration of Taking, together with all improvements thereon and appurtenances thereunto belonging, shall be the sum of $32,500.00 inclusive of interest, attorneys' fees, and costs.

10. The United States shall pay into the Registry of the Court, and the Clerk is hereby directed to accept, the deficiency amount of $24,500.00.

The said sum of $32,500.00 shall be subject to all liens, encumbrances and charges of whatsoever nature existing against the Subject Property at the time of vesting of title thereto in the United States and all such taxes, assessments, liens and encumbrances shall be payable and deductible from said sum.

13. Defendants warrant that they have the exclusive right to compensation herein and that no other person or entity is entitled to the same or any part thereof. In the event that any other party is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have any right to receive compensation for the Subject Property taken in this case, Defendants shall refund into the Registry of the Court the compensation distributed herein, or such part thereof as the Court may direct, with interest thereon calculated in accordance with the provision of 40 U.S.C. § 3116, from the date of the receipt of the deposit by Defendants to the date of repayment into the Registry of the Court.
