G. Pursuant to the City Municipal Code the City is authorized to defer the posting of

agreement, for the Subdivision Improvement Agreement under the provisions of Government

Map.
J. Owner represents, and City has.confirmed that Owner has paid.all plan check fees
and has a deposit based fee,account.in good standing with the City.

Deed"), attached hereto, as security for the following obligations of Owner:
(1) Construction�of the improvements ( "Improvements ") specified in the
Subdivision Improvement Agreement, in the estimated amounts and for the purposes specified in
the agreement, however, that Owner's obligation hereunder shall extend to the actual cost of
construction of the Improvements, notwithstanding that such costs may exceed the estimate set

(2) Payment of the balance of the fees or provision of the improvements or
services described in the Municipal Code (collectively, "Fees "), in the amount required, as

amounts prescribed for such purposes upon termination of this Lien Agreement. Owner also agrees
