ing the institution from its obligation,

the same ratio as the amount of such Federal grant or grants bore to 
the development cost of the facility (as determined by the Secretary) 
financed with the aid of such grant or grants. Such value shall be 
determined by agreement of the parties or by action brought in the 
United States district court for the district in which such facility is 
situated.
