B. The Subdivider must maintain adequate financial security guaranteeing the completion of

performance under this Agreement is specifically guaranteed and secured by an
Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit: Letter of Credit No. �o`d��0`�`� in the amount

($253,305.00) from Bank of America. This letter of credit constitute the "Financial
Security."

Improvements to not later than thirty-six (36) months of the filing of the final plat for the
Subdivision: sidewalks along all private lots.
D. 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.
E. Subdivider acknowledges the Financial Security lapses on and is subject to

Security may give notice to the City of its intent to not renew the Financial Security but

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

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

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 Improvements regardless of
the costs estimates included in Exhibit A and regardless of whether the timeframe for
completion of such improvements has passed.
