B. Prior to approval_ of the Map, Subdivider is required to install or agree to install certain public and private

C. The Improvements have not been installed and accepted at this time.
D. It is therefore necessary that Subdivider and City enter into an agreement for the installation of the
Improvements as provided in Section 66462 of the Subdivision Map Act.

Exhibit "A", and shall bear the full cost thereof. The methods, standards, specifications, sequence, and scheduling
of construction shall be as approved by the City Engineer.
3. Improvement Security.
A. One class of security to be provided by Subdivider, hereinafter referred to as "performance security,"
shall assure the faithful performance of this Agreement including construction of the Improvements, payment of
Subdivider's fair share of Improvements which have been or will be constructed by others ("Participatory
Improvements"), and payment of plan check and permit fees. A second class of security to be provided by
Subdivider, hereinafter referred to as "payment security," shall assure the payment of the cost of labor, equipment
and materials supplied to construct the Improvements. A third class of security to be provided by Subdivider,
hereinafter referred to as "warranty security," shall serve as a guarantee and warranty of the Improvements for a
period of one year following the completion and acceptance of the Improvements. Subdivider shall furnish
performance and payment security prior to and as a condition of City Council approval of the Map. Subdivider shall
provide warranty security after Improvements are complete and accepted by the City Council and prior to or
