whether or not the City shall have approved the contract or subcontract.
4.3 IMPROVEMENT FINANCIAL SECURITY REQUIREMENT.
Contemporaneously herewith, the Owner shall deposit with the City an irrevocable letter of credit
(“LOC”) for the amount of $110,000.00 as described in Exhibit C.
The bank and form of the LOC shall be subject to approval by the City Finance Director and City
Attorney and shall continue to be in full force and effect until released by the City. The LOC must
be for at least a two-year term and must be automatically renewable for successive one-year periods
from the present or any future expiration dates with a final expiration date of termination of the two-
year warranty period described in Article 6, and further provided that the LOC states that at least 60
days prior to the expiration date, the bank will notify the City if the bank elects not to renew for an
additional period. The LOC shall secure compliance by the Owner with the terms of this
Agreement. The City may draw down on the irrevocable letter of credit or cash deposit, without
any further notice than that provided in Article 8 relating to a Owner Default, for any of the
following reasons:
a) a Owner Default; or
b) upon the City receiving notice that the irrevocable letter of credit
will be allowed to lapse before the two-year warranty period has
expired pursuant to Article 6; or
c) failure to pay the City for any of the costs and expenses
referenced in Article 4 or 5.
The City may use these escrow proceeds to reimburse the City for its costs to take whatever action
is necessary to stabilize the Property for any of the reasons stated above. After the City Engineer
determines that Improvements have been constructed and after retaining 10% of amounts allocated
in Exhibit C for the Improvements, the remaining proceeds shall be distributed to Owner.
Owner may request the City reduce the irrevocable letter of credit or cash deposit from time to time
as financial obligations are paid. The City Engineer shall inspect the Project and make the reduction
request to the City Council who shall have full discretion in determining the reduction amount, if
any.
If the City determines the Owner or Contractor did not strictly adhere to the approved Development
Plans or that work was done without required City inspection, the City may require, as a condition
of acceptance, the Owner post an irrevocable letter of credit, or cash deposit equal to 125% of the
estimated amount necessary to correct the deficiency or to protect against deficiencies arising
therefrom. The additional irrevocable letter of credit, or cash deposit, shall remain in force for such
time as the City deems necessary, not to exceed five years. In the event that work, which is
[24947-38528/3627322/2] 8
concealed, was done without permitting City inspection, then the City may, in the alternative,
require the Owner or Contractor expose the concealed condition or work for inspection purposes.
4.4 CASH ESCROW REQUIREMENT. The Owner shall reimburse the City for all
inspection costs relating to the Improvements and all engineering, administrative, legal and other
expenses incurred or to be incurred by the City in connection with this Agreement. The Owner
shall deposit with the City a cash deposit for the amount of $10,000 as described in Exhibit C to
cover City expenses related to the project including but not limited to planning, engineering, legal
and administrative services, soil testing and inspection services. The cash escrow must be deposited
with the City prior to the City executing this Agreement. The City shall use the cash deposit
proceeds to reimburse the City for its costs and shall provide Owner with written itemization of said
reimbursements. Upon completion of the project, the City will return the remaining proceeds to the
Owner.

enforcement of this Agreement, including engineering and attorneys’ fees.
