financial advice, Subdivider shall pay to City an administration fee of one half of one percent
(0.5 %) of the estimated cost of the improvements secured but not less than Five Hundred
dollars ($500.00) nor more than Five Thousand dollars ($5,000.00).

until the deferred improvements are constructed and costs are known and shall guarantee the reimbursement
by Subdivider of Subdivider's share of the cost of the deferred improvements. Payment security and guarantee
security shall not be required for improvements deferred for construction by others.
Upon written demand from City, Subdivider shall deposit cash with City in lieu of or in replacement of
securities guaranteeing deferred improvements. If Subdivider fails to deposit said cash within 30 days of the
date of the written demand from City, City may present a written demand to Subdivider's Surety for payment
Subdivision Improvement Agreement - Tract 28149 Page 2 of 5
of said cash and Subdivider's Surety shall pay to City the lesser of: 1) the amount demanded, or 2) the amount
of the security.
F. Security shall be released in the following manner:
1) Performance security shall be released upon the final completion and acceptance or approval,
by the City Council, of all improvements required to be constructed by Subdivider subject to
the provisions of paragraph B.
2) The City Engineer may authorize partial reduction of performance security as work progresses,
upon application by Subdivider. However, no such reduction shall be for an amount less than
10 percent of the total performance security provided for the faithful performance of the act

more than two partial reductions of security furnished for any improvement agreement.
3) Deferred improvement security shall be released upon construction of the deferred
improvements and payment by Subdivider of Subdivider's pro rata share of the cost of the
deferred improvements. Subdivider may request, and City may approve or conditionally
approve, release of deferred improvement security prior to construction of the deferred
improvements upon pre -payment by Subdivider of the estimated cost of the deferred
improvements.
4) If City receives no notice of recorded claims of lien, labor and materials security shall be
released in full 90 days after final acceptance and/or approval by the City Council, of all
improvements required to be constructed by Subdivider. If City receives notice of any recorded
lien, the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act shall apply.
5) Warranty security not utilized during the warranty period shall normally be released one year
after final acceptance or approval by the City Council of all improvements required to be
constructed by Subdivider. If, at the end of the one-year warranty period, there are one or
more outstanding requests by City for performance of work or provision of materials under the
terms of the warranty, any remaining warranty security shall be retained until the outstanding
requests are satisfied or until Subdivider has made other arrangements satisfactory to the City
Engineer.
4. Permits Required. Prior to commencing any phase of work, Subdivider shall obtain all permits required
for that phase of work and pay all required fees. Work performed under a permit or permits shall comply with
all provisions of the required permits.
5. Off -site Improvements. When the construction of one or more of the Improvements required or
necessitates the acquisition of real property not owned by Subdivider or City, Subdivider shall use its best
efforts to purchase such real property at a reasonable price. In the event that Subdivider is unsuccessful,
despite its best efforts, to acquire such real property at a reasonable price, Subdivider may request in writing
that City attempt to acquire such real property. City may, but is not required to, agree to attempt to acquire
such real property on behalf of Subdivider. If City so agrees, City and Subdivider shall enter a separate written
agreement therefor in a form acceptable to the City Attorney. Such agreement shall provide that Subdivider
will advance City One Hundred Fifty Percent (150%) of the appraised fair market value of the real property,
with any unexpended funds refunded to Subdivider and any additional funds required for City's acquisition paid
by Subdivider upon the conveyance of such real property to Subdivider. In no event shall the failure of
Subdivider or City to acquire such real property excuse, waive, or otherwise terminate Subdivider's obligation
to construct the applicable Improvement pursuant to this Agreement or the tentative map, parcel map or Map
conditions of approval (Conditions of Approval).
6. Completion of Improvements. Subdivider shall begin construction of the Improvements within ninety
(90) days and shall complete construction within twelve (12) months after the approval of this Agreement.
Portions of the Improvements may be completed at a later date, as determined by the City Engineer or as set
forth in Exhibit A.
7. Force Majeure. In the event that Subdivider is unable to perform within the time limits herein due to
strikes, act of God, or other events beyond Subdivider's control, the time limits for obligations affected by such
events will be extended by the period of such events.
8. Time Extension. Subdivider may make application in writing to the City Council for an extension of time
for completion of the Improvements. The City Council, in its sole and absolute discretion, may approve or deny
the request or conditionally approve the extension with additions or revisions to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement.
As a condition of the time extension, Subdivider shall furnish securities, similar in form and substance to
those required in Article 3 hereinabove, to cover the period of extension. The value of the securities shall be
sufficient to insure the performance of and payment for improvement work that remains incomplete at the time
of the extension, and to provide guarantee security on completed improvements.

monuments in accordance with the provisions of Sections 66495, et sec. of the Subdivision Map Act and of
the La Quinta Municipal Code. Subdivider shall provide the City Engineer written proof that the monuments
have been set and evidence of payment and receipt thereof by the engineer or surveyor setting the
monuments.
10. Final Acceptance or Approval of Improvements. At the completion of construction and prior to
acceptance of the improvements by City, Subdivider shall submit a request for final approval by City. The
request shall be accompanied by any required certifications from Subdivider's engineers or surveyors, approval
letters from other agencies having jurisdiction over and approval authority for improvements required by this
Agreement or the Conditions of Approval of the subdivision, and any required construction quality
documentation not previously submitted.
Upon receipt of said request, the City Engineer or a duly authorized representative will review the required
documentation and will inspect the Improvements. If the Improvements are determined to be in accordance
with applicable City standards and specifications, and as provided herein, and Subdivider has provided revised
plans as required in Paragraph 11, hereinafter, the City Engineer shall recommend approval of private
improvements and acceptance of public improvements by the City Council.
11. Revisions to Plans. When the Improvements have been inspected and approved by the City
Engineer, Subdivider shall make any necessary revisions to the original plans held by City so the plans depict
the actual Improvements constructed. When necessary revisions have been made, each separate sheet of the
plans shall be clearly marked with the words "As -Built," "As -Constructed," or "Record Drawing," the marking
shall be stamped by an engineer or surveyor, as appropriate for the improvements thereon, who is licensed to
practice in California, and the plans resubmitted to the City Engineer.
12. Improvement Guarantee. Subdivider hereby guarantees the improvements to City for a period of
one (1) year, beginning on the date of final acceptance of all tract Improvements by the City Council, against
any defective work or labor done, or defective materials furnished, and shall repair or replace such defective
work or materials.
13. Release of Security. City shall retain and release securities in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3 of this agreement. Prior to the release of payment security, the City Engineer may require Subdivider
to provide a title report or other evidence sufficient to show claims of lien, if any, that may affect the amount
of payment security released.
14. City Right to Cure. If Subdivider fails to perform any obligation hereunder and such obligation has
not been performed within sixty (60) days after written notice of default from City, then City may perform the
obligation, and Subdivider shall pay the entire cost of such performance by City including costs of suit and
reasonable attorney's fees incurred by City in enforcing such obligation. In cases of emergency or compelling
public interest, as determined by the City Engineer, the requirement for written notice of default and/or the
passage of sixty (60) days shall be deemed waived and all other provisions of this Article shall remain in effect.
15. Indemnification. Subdivider hereby binds itself, its officers, employees, agents, representatives,
executors, administrators, guarantors, heirs, and assigns, and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold City and
its officers, employees, agents, representatives, and assigns harmless from and against any losses, claims,
demands, actions, or causes of action of any nature whatsoever, arising out of or in any way connected with
Subdivider's performance hereinunder, including costs of suit and reasonable attorneys' fees.
