additional to and not in lieu of any other remedy available to City. It is 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.
In the event of Subdivider's default under this Agreement, Subdivider authorizes City to
perform such obligation twenty(20)days after mailing written notice of default to Subdivider and

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.

Agreement for a period of one (1) year after final formal acceptance of this subdivision by the
