improvements, including review of plans and construction observation and in regard to any action or <br />event of default by Developer, resulting in any suit or proceeding at law or in equity to which the City <br />shall become a party in reference to the Developer's interest in the Development. Reimbursement <br />shall be due and payable to the City within thirty (30) days following the receipt of a statement <br />therefore. The Developer shall post a cash escrow in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the estimated <br />costs of the Improvements. This escrow will be drawn from as the project progresses to cover the <br />City's ongoing costs and expenses relating to administration and construction observation of the <br />Improvements. City administration will include, but is not limited to, supervision of construction <br />observation, consultation with Developer and its engineer on status or problems regarding the project, <br />coordination for final inspection and acceptance, project monitoring during the warranty period, and <br />processing of requests for reduction in security. Construction observation shall include full to part <br />time inspection of all work associated with the Improvements. Based on past experience it is estimated <br />that an escrow of ten percent (10%) shall be sufficient to cover the City related expenses associated <br />with the work. Delays, change in work scope, contractor performance, etc. can all contribute to this <br />amount not being sufficient. All City costs experienced in excess of the escrow are the responsibility <br />of the Developer. These costs will be billed directly to the Developer and become due per the terms <br />stated in Section 10. <br />(02) Security for Developers Performance. <br />(A) No work shall be commenced under this Agreement, and the Final Plat of the Subdivision <br />will not be released for recording, until the Developer has filed with the City a cash deposit or <br />an irrevocable and unconditional Letter of Credit acceptable to the City, in the amount of xxx <br />and xx/100 Dollars ($xx,xxx). Said Letter of Credit shall also provide that funds shall be paid <br />to the City upon written demand of the City to the extent of default herein by Developer in <br />the payment of any amount due or the performance of any other duty or obligation of <br />Developer pursuant to this Agreement, including Developer's obligations to complete <br />Improvements, to complete on -site Landscape Improvements, and to make payment of any <br />amounts due hereunder. <br />(B) The security provided in accordance with the above may be released quarterly, on <br />March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. The amount released each <br />quarter will equal the amount of work completed by the Developer during the quarter, except <br />that: <br />(i) the security will not be released to an amount less than the amount of <br />Developer's total indebtedness to the City pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,; <br />and, <br />(ii) the security will not be released below fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) until <br />all Improvements pursuant to this Agreement have been completed in full and all <br />other obligations of Developer under this Agreement have been fulfilled, including <br />Developer's obligation to install required Landscaping Improvements and to fulfill <br />the requirements of the Wetland Mitigation, if applicable. <br />(C) The Letter of Credit shall contain a provision that states that the Letter of Credit shall <br />be automatically renewable annually unless the issuer of the Letter of Credit first gives the City <br />30 days written notice by certified mail of its intent not to renew the Letter of Credit.

The Letter of Credit shall <br />be a guaranty to the City that the Improvements and all other requirements set forth in this <br />Agreement will be timely completed to the City's satisfaction.
