P.M.M., CITY OF BOZEMAN, GALLATIN COUNTY, MONTANA.
2. Improvements
This Agreement specifically includes the following required improvements for The
Crossing 2 at Baxter Meadows, Phases 4G and 4H (the "Subdivision"): sidewalks in the public
right of way adjacent to individual lots (the above are referred to as the "Improvements").
The estimated cost of the Improvements has been estimated by the Subdivider's agent,

Eight Hundred Fifty-Seven Dollars and Ninety-Two Cents ($34,857.92). The estimate is attached
and hereby made a part of this Agreement, as Exhibit"B".
3. Financial Guarantee, Time for Completion of Improvements, Additional
Restrictions
A. The Subdivider represents and agrees it will complete all Improvements as required by
Findings of Fact and Order for the Subdivision within ten (10) months of the date of
recording of the final plat. In reliance on such representation, the City consents to the
Subdivider filing the final plat prior to completion of the required Improvements. The
Subdivider must maintain adequate financial security guaranteeing the completion of the
Improvements until such Improvements are accepted by the City. The Subdivider's
performance under this Agreement is specifically guaranteed and secured by an irrevocable
The Crossing 2 at Baxter Meadows Subdivision,Phase G&H—Improvements Agreement Page 2 of 8
standby letters of credit: Letter of Credit No. 3 1_'o3 ZG,d6a7Sty for an amount not to exceed
$34,857.92 from kf
These letters of credit constitute the "Financial Security."
B. Notwithstanding the time frame for completion of the Improvements stated in subsection
A of this section, the City agrees the Subdivider may defer completion of the following
Improvements to not later than thirty-six (36) months of the filing of the final plat for the
Subdivision: sidewalks along all private lots.
C. Subdivider acknowledges and agrees the Financial Security is specifically provided for the
benefit of the City to guarantee and secure completion of the Improvements within the
timeframes specified above and that the Financial Security may be drawn upon by the City
without notice to the Subdivider and used by the City for completion of the Improvements
in its sole discretion but only if the Subdivider fails to comply with the terms and conditions
of this Agreement.
D. Subdivider acknowledges the Financial Security lapses on ;&, -- 2- , 202
Subdivider also acknowledges the issuer of the Financial Security may give notice to the
City of its intent to not renew the Financial Security but must do so no less than thirty(30)
days prior to the expiration of the Financial Security or the Financial Security is extended
for an additional year. As a result of the above, the Subdivider agrees that if the issuer of
the Financial Security provides notice to the City of non-renewal of the Financial Security
prior to the completion of all of the Improvements such non-renewal may place the
Subdivider in breach of this Agreement. In such a case, the Subdivider must, within ten
(10) days of the Subdivider acquiring information of the issuer's intent not to renew the
Financial Security or the City's notice to the Subdivider that the City received a notice
from the issuer of the Financial Security that the issuer intends to not renew the Financial
Security, whichever is earlier, provide the City alternative financial security in a form
acceptable to the City. Subdivider agrees that failure to provide such alternative financial
security within 10 days of the City's notice or the Subdivider acquiring knowledge of the
issuer's non-renewal shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement and the City
may,without any further notice to the Subdivider,draw upon the Financial Security for the
costs of any outstanding Improvements at 150% of the City's estimate cost of such
The Crossing 2 at Baxter Meadows Subdivision,Phase G&H—Improvements Agreement Page 3 of 8

whether the timeframe for completion of such improvements has passed.

relieve the Subdivider of any duty to perform or any liability for the breach of that duty to
complete said subdivision improvements required for the Subdivision.
F. Upon submission of fully documented invoices for the work performed, said work to be
inspected and certified for payment by Subdivider's professional engineers and the City
and or its agents as necessary, the City may release a portion of the Financial Security for
the work completed by the referenced invoices.

reasonable time in order to inspect it and to determine if the Subdivider is in compliance with this
Agreement, and the Subdivider shall permit the City and its representatives to enter upon and
inspect the Subdivision at any reasonable time.
