RECITALS RMPUB1DJE1I597 A. SUBDIVIDER has presented to CITY for approval and recordation, a final subdivision map of a proposed SUBDIVISION pursuant to provisions of the Subdivision Map Act of the State of California and the CITY's ordinances and regulations relating to the filing, approval and recordation of subdivision maps. The Subdivision Map Act and the CITY's ordinances and regulations relating to the filing, approval and recordation of subdivision maps are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the "Subdivision Laws". B. A tentative map of the SUBDIVISION has been approved, subject to the Subdivision Laws and to the requirements and conditions contained in the Resolution of Approval. The Resolution of Approval is on file in the Office of the City Clerk and is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. C. The Subdivision Laws establish as a condition precedent to the approval of a final map that SUBDIVIDER must have complied with the Resolution of Approval and must have either (a) completed, in compliance with CITY standards, all of the improvements and land development work required by the Subdivision Laws or the Resolution of Approval or (b) have entered into a secured agreement with CITY to complete the improvements and land development within a period of time specified by CITY. D. In consideration of the approval of a final map for the SUBDIVISION by the City Council, SUBDIVIDER desires to enter into this Agreement, whereby SUBDIVIDER promises to install and complete, at SUBDIVIDER's own expense, all the public improvement work required by CITY in connection with the proposed SUBDIVISION. SUBDIVIDER has secured this Agreement by improvement security required by the Subdivision Laws and approved by the City Attorney. E. Complete Improvement Plans for the construction, installation, and completion of the improvements have been prepared by SUBDIVIDER and approved by the City Engineer. The Improvement Plans numbered as referenced previously in this Agreement are on file in the Office of the City Engineer and are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference. All references in this Agreement to the Improvement Plans shall include reference to any specifications for the improvements as approved by the City Engineer. F. An estimate of the cost for construction of the public improvements and performing land development work in connection with the improvements according to the Improvement Plans has been made and has been approved by the City Engineer. The estimated amount is stated on Page 1 of this Agreement. The basis for the estimate is attached as Exhibit "A" to this Agreement. G. CITY has adopted standards for the construction and installation of improvements within the CITY. The Improvement Plans have been prepared in conformance with CITY standards in effect on the date of the Resolution of Approval. H. All public improvement monuments, street signs, and stakes as specified on the final map are to be completed prior to final formal acceptance by the City Council. Individual property monuments must be installed within one year from the formal final Council acceptance of said SUBDIVISION. I. SUBDIVIDER recognizes that by approval of the final map for SUBDIVISION, CITY has conferred substantial rights upon SUBDIVIDER, including the right to sell, lease, or finance lots within the SUBDIVISION. As a result, CITY will be damaged to the extent of the cost of installation of the improvements by SUBDIVIDER's failure to perform its obligations to commence construction of the improvements by the time established in this RMPos\DJE\1597 -3- Agreement. CITY shall be entitled to all remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and law in the event of a default by SUBDIVIDER. It is specifically recognized that the determination of whether a reversion to acreage or rescission of the SUBDIVISION constitutes an adequate remedy for default by the SUBDIVIDER shall be within the sole discretion of CITY.

SUBDIVIDER shall bear all costs of inspection and certification. No improvements shall be deemed completed until accepted by the City Council pursuant to Section (17) herein.

(d) No security given for the guarantee or warranty of work shall be released until the expiration of the warranty period and until any claims filed during the warranty period have been settled.

The right of CITY to draw upon or utilize the security is additional to and not in lieu of any other remedy available to CITY.

The remedy provided by this subsection (c) is in addition to and not in lieu of other remedies available to CITY. SUBDIVIDER agrees that the choice of remedy or remedies for SUBDIVIDER's breach shall be in the discretion of CITY. (d) In the event that SUBDIVIDER fails to perform any obligation hereunder, SUBDIVIDER agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by CITY in securing performance of such obligations, including but not limited to fees and charges of architects, engineers, attorneys, other professionals, and court costs.

SUBDIVIDER shall guarantee or warranty the work done pursuant to this Agreement for a period of one year after final formal acceptance of the SUBDIVISION by the City Council against any defective work or labor done or defective materials furnished.

The extension shall be executed in writing by the City Engineer. Any such extension may be granted without notice to SUBDIVIDER's surety and shall not affect the validity of this Agreement or release the surety or sureties on any security given for this Agreement. The City Engineer shall be the sole and final judge as to whether or not good cause has been shown to entitle SUBDIVIDER to an extension. Delay, other than delay in the commencement of work, resulting from an act of CITY, act of God, or by storm or inclement weather, strikes, boycotts or similar political actions which prevents the conducting of work, which SUBDIVIDER could not have reasonably foreseen and, furthermore, were not caused by or contributed to by SUBDIVIDER, shall constitute good cause for and extension of the time for completion. As a condition of such extension, the City Engineer may require SUBDIVIDER to furnish new security guaranteeing performance of this Agreement as extended in an increased amount as necessary to compensate for any increase in construction costs as determined by the City Engineer. (23) No Vesting of Rights. Performance by SUBDIVIDER of this Agreement shall not be construed to vest SUBDIVIDER's rights with respect to any change in any zoning or building law or ordinance.
