breach of Subdivider's obligations under this Agreement. The City shall have the right,
subject to this Section, to draw upon or utilize the appropriate security to mitigate the City's
damages in the event of default by Subdivider. The right of the City to draw upon or utilize
the security is additional to and not in lieu of any other remedy available to City. It is
Sub.Improve Agrmt./October 2007 6
specifically recognized that the estimated costs and security amounts may not reflect the
actual cost of construction or installation of the Improvements and, therefore, City's
damages for Subdivider's default shall be measured by the cost of completing the required
Improvements. The sums provided by the Improvements security may be used by City for
the completion of the public Improvements in accordance with the Improvement plans and
specifications contained herein.

by any other method City may deem advisable, for the account and at the expense of
Subdivider, and Subdivider's surety shall be liable to City for any excess cost of damages
occasioned City thereby. In such event, City, without liability for so doing, may take
possession of, and utilize in completing the work, such materials, appliances, plants and
other property belonging to Subdivider as may be on the site of the work and necessary for
performance of the work.
C. Failure of Subdivider to comply with the terms of this Agreement shall
constitute consent to the filing by the City of a notice of violation against all the lots in the
Subdivision, orto rescind the approval or otherwise revert the Subdivision to acreage. The
remedy provided by this subsection is in addition to, and not in lieu of, other remedies
available to City. Subdivider agrees that the choice of remedy or remedies for Subdivider's
breach shall be in the discretion of City.
d, In the event that Subdivider fails to perform any obligation hereunder,
Subdivider agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by City in securing performance
of such obligations, including but not limited to fees and charges of architects, engineers,
attorneys other professionals and court costs.
e. The failure of City to take enforcement action with respect to a default, or to
declare a breach, shall not be construed as a waiver of that default or breach or any
subsequent default or breach of Subdivider.
12. Warranty. Subdivider shall guarantee or warranty the work done pursuant to
this Agreement for a period of one (1)year after final formal acceptance of this subdivision
by the City Council against any defective work or labor done or defective materials
furnished. If within the warranty period any work or Improvement or part of any work or
Improvement done, furnished, installed or constructed by Subdivider fails to fulfill any of the
requirements of this Agreement or the Improvement plans or specifications referred to
herein, Subdivider shall without delay and without cost to the City repair or replace or
reconstruct any defective or otherwise unsatisfactory part or parts of the work or structure.

hereby authorizes City, at City's option to perform the work twenty (20) days after mailing
written notice of default to Subdivider and to Subdivider's surety, and agrees to pay the
cost of such work by City. Should the City determine that an urgency requires repairs or
replacements to be made before Subdivider can be notified, City may, in its sole discretion,
make the necessary repair or replacement or perform the necessary work and Subdivider
shall pay to City the cost of such repairs.

and agrees that the obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless provided for in this
Agreement extends to any claim brought by or on behalf of any employee of Subdivider.
This waiver is mutually negotiated by the parties. This shall not apply to any damage

damage or taking covered by this Section. City shall not be responsible for the design or
construction of the property to be dedicated or the Improvements pursuant to the approved

improvement design was dangerous or defective and suggested an alternative safe and
feasible design.

eliminate any defect in design or dangerous condition caused by the design or construction
defect; however, Subdivider shall not be responsible for routine maintenance. The
provisions of this paragraph shall remain in full force and effect for ten (1 g)years following
the acceptance by the City of the Improvements. It is the intent of this section that

Improvements installed or work done pursuant to this Agreement and that City shall not be
liable for any negligence, nonfeasance, misfeasance or malfeasance in approving,
reviewing, checking, or inspecting any work or construction. The Improvement security

court costs) incurred by City in enforcing the provisions of this section.

under this Agreement are and shall remain the personal obligations of Subdivider
notwithstanding a transfer of all or any part of the property within the Subdivision subject to
this Agreement, and Subdivider shall not be entitled to assign its obligations under this
Agreement to any transferee of all or any part of the property within the Subdivision or any
other third party without the express written consent of the City.

Agreement.
Sub,Im rovu.Agmit./October 2007 t 1
25. Time for Commencement of Work; Time Extensions. Subdivider shall
commence substantial construction of the Improvements required by this Agreement not
later than three (3) months after the date of this Agreement. In the event good cause
exists as determined by the City Engineer, the time for commencement of construction or
completion of the Improvements hereunder may be extended for a period or periods not
exceeding a total of two additional years. The extension shall be executed in writing by the
City Engineer. Any such extension may be granted without notice to Subdivider's surety
and shall not affect the validity of this Agreement or release the surety or sureties on any
security given for this Agreement. The City Engineer shall be the sole and final judge as to
whether or not good cause has been shown to entitle Subdivider to an extension. Delay,
other than delay in the commencement of work, resulting from an act of City, act of God, by
storm or inclement weather, strikes, boycotts or similar political actions which prevent the
conducting of work,which Subdivider could not have reasonably foreseen, and furthermore
were not caused by or contributed to by Subdivider, shall constitute good cause for and
extension of the time for completion. As a condition of such extension, the City Engineer
may require Subdivider to furnish new security guaranteeing performance of this
Agreement, as extended, in an increased amount to compensate for any increase in
construction costs as determined by the City Engineer.
26. Certificate of Satisfaction. The City Manager may, upon the determination of
the Public Works Director that Subdivider has fully satisfied the obligations secured by this
Agreement, at the request of Subdivider, execute and record a Certificate of Satisfaction in
the official records of the County of San Bernardino evidencing that Subdivider has
complied with, and satisfied, all obligations under this Agreement. Subdivider shall be
responsible for the payment of all City costs associated with the preparation and
recordation of such a certificate.

at law against the Owner(s) personally obligated to pay the same, or, with respect to Common
Assessments, Capital Improvement Assessments and Reconstruction Assessments, foreclose the

relinquishment of the Membership, or by nonuse of the Association Property or abandonment of

Owner, by acceptance of a deed to such Owner's Lot, hereby conveys to the Association all of
such Owner's right, title and interest in all rents, issues and profits derived from and appurtenant

profits, including those part due and unpaid, and (iii) apply the same, less allowable expenses of
operation, to any delinquencies of the Owner hereunder, and in such order as the Association
may determine. The entering upon and taking possession of the Lot, the collection of rents,
issues and profits and the application thereof, shall not cure or waive any default or notice of
default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
5.11. Notice of Lien. No action maybe brought to enforce any assessment lien
herein, unless at least thirty (30) days have expired following the date a Notice of Lien is
deposited in the United Mates mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, to the Owner of the
Lot, and a copy thereof has been Recorded by the Association. The Notice of Lien shall be in
such form and shall contain such information required by Section 1367(b) of the California Civil
Code, or any similar California Statute hereafter enacted, and must be signed and acknowledged
by an officer of the Association or such other Person expressly authorized by the Board to sign
Notices of Liens. The lien shall continue until fully paid or otherwise satisfied.
5.1.2. Foreclosure Sate. A sale to foreclose the assessment lien may be conducted

accordance with the provisions of Section 2924, 2924x, 2924b, 2924c and 2924f of the
California Civil Code, or in accordance with any similar statute hereafter enacted applicable to
the exercise of powers of sale in Deeds of Trust, or in any other manner permitted by law. The

defaulting Owner.
D t`•..\,oc 011712007 -25-
5.13. Curing of Default. Upon the timely curing of any default for which the
Association filed a Notice of Lien, the Association shall Record an appropriate Release of Lien,
upon payment by the defaulting Owner of a reasonable fee to be determined by the Board to
cover the cost of preparing and Recording such release. A certificate, executed and
acknowledged by any officer of the Association, or such other person expressly authorized by
the Board, stating the indebtedness secured by the liens upon any Lot created hereunder, shall be
conclusive upon the Association and the Owners as to the amount of such indebtedness as of the
date of the certificate in favor of all persons who rely thereon in good faith. Such certificate
shall be furnished to any Owner upon request at a reasonable fee, to be determined by the Board.
5.14. Cumulative Remedies. The assessment lien and the rights of foreclosure
and sale thereunder are in addition to and not in substitution for all other rights and remedies
which the Association and its assigns may have against any delinquent Owner hereunder and by
law, including a suit to recover a money judgment for unpaid assessments, as above provided.
5.15. Mortgage Protection-Liens. Subject to Section 5.16 below, no lien created
under this Article V, nor any breach of this Declaration, nor the enforcement of any provision
hereof shall defeat or render invalid the rights of the Beneficiary under any Recorded Deed of
Trust upon a Lot, made in good faith and for value. After a Beneficiary or other Person obtains
title to a Lot by judicial foreclosure or by means of the powers set forth in such Deed of Trust,
the Lot shall remain subject to the Restrictions and the payment of all installments of
assessments and other obligations, accruing after the date the Beneficiary or other Person obtains
title.
5.16. Priority of Assessment Lien. Mortgages Recorded before a Notice of Lien
have lien priority over the Notice of Lien. The sale or transfer(including any"deed in lieu"of
foreclosure) of any Lot does not affect the assessment lien; except that the sale or transfer of any
Lot pursuant to judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of a first Mortgage Recorded prior to a Notice
of Lien extinguishes the lien of such assessment as to payments which became due prior to such
foreclosure sale or transfer. No sale or transfer relieves such Lot from lien rights for any
assessments thereafter becoming due. No Person who obtains title to a Lot through judicial or
nonjudicial foreclosure of the first Mortgage is liable for the share of the Common Expenses or
assessments chargeable to such Lot which became due prior to the acquisition of title to such Lot
by such Person. Such unpaid share of Common Expenses and assessments is a Common
Expense collectible from all of the Lots, including the Lot belonging to such Person.
ARTICLE VI
DESTRUCTION OR CONDEMNATION
OF ASSOCIATION PROPERTY
Damage to, destruction or condemnation of all or any portion of the Association Property
shall be handled in the following manner:
6.1. Damage by Owners. To the extent permitted by law, each Owner is Iiable
to the Association for any damage to the Association Property not fully reimbursed to the
Association by insurance (including any insurance policy deductible amounts) if the damage is
sustained because of the negligence, neglect, willful misconduct or unauthorized or improper
DPC\.A.oc 9/17/3007 -26-
installation or maintenance of any Improvement by the Owner, and its Owner Representatives or
any other Persons deriving their right and easement of use and enjoyment of the Association
Property from the Owner, or Owner Representative. However, the Association, acting through
the Board, may determine whether any claim will be made upon the insurance maintained by the
Association, and after Notice and Hearing the Association may levy a Special Assessment equal
to the increase, if any, in insurance premiums directly attributable to the damage caused by the
Owner or the Person for whom the Owner may be liable as described above. In the case of joint
ownership of a Lot, the liability of the Owners is joint and several, except to the extent that the
Association has previously contracted in writing with the joint Owners to the contrary. After
Notice and Hearing, the cost of correcting the damage, to the extent not reimbursed to the
Association by insurance, shall be a Special Assessment.
6.2. Repair of Damages. If Association Property Improvements are damaged by
fire or other casualty, any insurance proceeds payable by reason thereof shall be paid to the
Association, which thereupon shall contract for the repair or replacement of alI the Association
Property Improvements so damaged. The Association shall levy a Reconstruction Assessment
on Owners to satisfy any deficiency between insurance proceeds and the actual cost of repair or
replacement in the same manner and proportion that Common Assessments are levied against
and collected from Owners. For example, Owners located in a Cost Center will pay their
proportionate share of any Reconstruction Assessment(in the same proportion as the Cost Center
Assessment Component applicable to such Cost Center) attributable to their Cost Center
Improvements, and Owners not located in such Cost Center are exempt from such
Reconstruction Assessment.
6.3. Condemnation. If all or any portion of the Association Property, or any
interest therein, is taken by right of eminent domain or by private purchase in lieu of eminent
domain, the award in condemnation shall be paid to the Association and deposited in the
Maintenance Funds to be applied towards the appropriate Operating Fund. No Member(other
than a Person on whose Lot an Association Property easement affected by a condemnation may
be located) may participate as a party, or otherwise, in any proceedings relating to such
condemnation. The Association has the exclusive right to participate in such proceedings and
shall, in its name alone, represent the interests of all Members.
6.4. Notice to Owners and Listed Mortgagees, The Board of Directors
immediately upon learning of any taking by eminent domain of any Association Property, or any
threat thereof, shall promptly notify all Owners whose Lots are subject to Common Assessments
