association, as applicable. Said streets shall be constructed in accordance with the final
engineering plans approved by the Village.
The OWNER shall provide access to each residential unit. Any street right -of -way not
already dedicated at the time of annexation shall be dedicated at the time of final plat, PUD final
plan/plat, or other final engineering approval. The Village shall accept the dedication of said
street right -of -way and approve or accept the construction of streets and sidewalks upon the
completion by the OWNER/DEVELOPER of said improvements in accordance with the
Village's construction standards and Unified Development Ordinance, as modified by the
Agreement. Acceptance of public streets and sidewalks by the Village shall be evidenced by a
corporate resolution. All private streets and walkways shall be approved by the Village Engineer
and shall remain the property of the OWNER/DEVELOPER or an owner's association, as

installation of the base or until construction traffic has generally ceased on any street, whichever
is later. Upon installation of the base, the letter of credit may be reduced to an amount sufficient
to cover the work yet to be performed (with applicable multiplier), plus the amount of the
maintenance bond. Upon completion of all public improvements, and after acceptance by the
Village Board, the letter of credit shall be released; however, the OWNER/DEVELOPER shall
be responsible for correcting deficiencies in material and equipment for a period of two (2) years
after acceptance to secure that obligation. The OWNER/DEVELOPER shall post for a period of
two (2) years thereafter, a maintenance bond or other security to cover possible repairs to said
streets. After completion of the construction and acceptance of any street, and if construction
traffic of the OWNER/DEVELOPER continues to utilize that street, the OWNER/DEVELOPER
shall be responsible for keeping the street free from construction debris and for repair of
damages to the street caused by the OWNER/DEVELOPER's construction traffic. Except as
otherwise provided herein, after dedication of any street right -of -way, the VILLAGE shall
enforce traffic and other regulations as to the street right -of -way. Except as otherwise provided
herein, after acceptance of the construction of any public street within the TERRITORY, the
VILLAGE shall provide for street cleaning, snow removal, refuse collection, and other
maintenance thereon. All deliveries of construction supplies or materials shall be restricted to
certain streets or temporary haul roads designated by the VILLLAGE.
Snow Plowing of Streets before Acceptance. The OWNER and the VILLAGE
acknowledge that until the streets in any platted subdivision of the TERRITORY are accepted by
the VILLAGE, the VILLAGE shall have no obligation to keep the streets plowed of ice and
snow (snowplowed). It is agreed, however that for any platted subdivision that shall be or is
likely to be occupied in whole or in part for a winter season, the VILLAGE, at its option, may
keep the streets snowplowed for that season.
9
If the VILLAGE should desire to provide season -long snowplowing for a development or
a part thereof, it shall notify the then owner of the unaccepted streets in writing of such intent by
August 1 of the year in question. The notice shall contain an estimate of the cost of
snowplowing and unit price or prices used by the VILLAGE in developing such costs. The
OWNER shall deposit with the VILLAGE an irrevocable letter of credit from a financial
institution in a form provided by the Village Attorney to guarantee payment of the estimated
amount by September 15 of the year in question. At the end of the snow season, the VILLAGE
will release the amount of the letter of credit providing all payments due to the VILLAGE have
been made. During the season, the VILLAGE shall allow the amount of the letter to be reduced
provided that the amount in the letter of credit is not reduced below the level anticipated to be
expended based on the current best -cost estimate. The OWNER shall be obligated to pay the
actual reasonable cost to the VILLAGE of its snowplowing services within the TERRITORY
rather than the amount of an estimate. Payment shall be made within ten days from the date of
the bill.
Debris. The OWNER/DEVELOPER shall be required to keep all streets within and
adjoining the TERRITORY free from mud and debris generated by any new construction activity
on the TERRITORY.
VI
CONSTRUCTION OF OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
The construction and installation of the public improvements to be done by
OWNER/DEVELOPER may be commenced at any time after the OWNER/DEVELOPER
received a site development permit from the VILLAGE and has delivered to the VILLAGE an
irrevocable letter of credit, in a form satisfactory to, and from a bank or other financial institution
approved by, the VILLAGE in the amount of 115% of the OWNER/DEVELOPER Engineer's
estimate of the cost of construction and installation of all such public improvements as approved
by the VILLAGE Engineer, including all required lighting, sidewalks, landscaping, street trees,
sewer and water lines and storm water management facilities, . At no time shall the Letter of
Credit funds be utilized by the OWNER/DEVELOPER for the future payment of contractors,
materials, salaries and wages, and the like. The VILLAGE makes no guarantees regarding the
timely reduction of said Letter of Credit and therefore should not be used for time - sensitive
payment purposes; however, the VILLAGE agrees to release or reduce such Letter of Credit
within a reasonable time period following OWNER/DEVELOPER's request. At the
OWNER/DEVELOPER's request the VILLAGE shall specify any basis for delay in such release
or reduction. The VILLAGE Engineer may, in his/her discretion, recommend the amount of said
letter of credit to be reduced, from time to time, as major public improvements are completed,
upon approval of the VILLAGE Board.
After the execution of this agreement and prior to final plan and/or final subdivision
approval for any phase of development, the OWNER/DEVELOPER, at its option and sole risk,
10
may commence extension of utilities and mass grading. Prior to any grading of the Property, the
OWNER/DEVELOPER shall submit for VILLAGE approval, a mass grading plan and soil
erosion and sediment control plan that adhere to the provisions of Article IV (Site Development)
of the Unified Development Ordinance. OWNER/DEVELOPER waives any and all claims it
may have to assert a "vested rights" claim or lawsuits against the VILLAGE as a result of
expenditures made in the performance of grading or other improvements to the Property allowed
hereunder prior to final engineering approval in the event final engineering requires revision to
work already performed. Any such work and expenditures are done at the risk of the
OWNER/DEVELOPER knowing that final plan and /or final plat of subdivision approval may be
delayed or change final grading and utility plans. In conjunction with the VILLAGE'S approval
of any mass grading, OWNER/DEVELOPER shall file with the VILLAGE a letter of credit to
secure seeding and restoration of the site in accordance with the mass grading plan.
The OWNER/DEVELOPER, at the OWNER/DEVELOPER's own cost, agrees to
provide the VILLAGE "as built ", engineering plans and specifications upon substantial
completion of the public improvements or at the request of the VILLAGE Engineer but in no
event later than the time required by the Unified Development Ordinance as amended.
Any public improvements contemplated herein shall, upon acceptance thereof by the
VILLAGE, become the property of VILLAGE and be integrated with the municipal facilities
now in existence or hereinafter constructed and VILLAGE thereafter agrees to maintain said
public improvements. Acceptance of said public improvements shall be by resolution of the
President and Board of Trustees only after the VILLAGE Engineer or VILLAGE Engineer
Consultant has issued his Certificate of Inspection affirming the improvements have been
constructed in accordance with approved Engineering Plans and Specifications.
OWNER/DEVELOPER agrees to convey by appropriate instrument and VILLAGE agrees to
promptly accept, subject to terms hereof, the public improvements constructed in accordance
with the Approved Engineering Plans and Specifications.
The OWNER/DEVELOPER agrees not to let debris or excessive construction waste
accumulate on the TERRITORY.

estimates of costs to be incurred, an amount of money sufficient to defray the entire costs of the
work, including without limitation legal fees and administrative expenses. The
OWNER/DEVELOPER shall, after demand the VILLAGE, pay the required amount to the
VILLAGE.

VILLAGE determines, in the VILLAGE'S sole and absolute discretion, that the owners'
association is not adequately maintaining, or has not adequately maintained, any improvement or
area to the standard set by generally applicable VILLAGE ordinances, the VILLAGE shall have
the right, but not the obligation, after ten days' prior written notice to the owners' association, to
enter on any or all of the TERRITORY for the purpose of performing maintenance work on any
affected improvement or area. In the event that the VILLAGE shall cause to be performed any
work pursuant to this Section VII the VILLAGE shall have the right (i) to assess the membership

Section, or any other section of the Agreement, the OWNER/DEVELOPER shall deposit with
the VILLAGE a maintenance bond in the amount of ten percent (10 %) of the cost of the
installation of the public improvement accepted by VILLAGE. This bond shall be deposited
with the VILLAGE and shall be held by the VILLAGE for a period of twenty -four (24) months
after completion and acceptance of all improvements. In the event of a defect in material and/or
12
