DEVELOPER covenants and warrants that it is the owner of all the property described as follows: Lot 1 of Vol. 1 Certified Survey Maps, Page 7251, Map No. 7251, Doc No. 1747144, said map being part of the NW1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 12, Township 17 North, Range 16 East, in the City of Oshkosh, Winnebago County, Wisconsin. 2.

Page 1 of 7 Construction by the CITY of: No construction by CITY. 3. The DEVELOPER shall install, and the CITY expressly consents to DEVELOPER installation of the following improvements: Sanitary Sewer and Laterals, Water Main and Laterals, Grading, Graveling, Restoration and Asphalt Paving. DEVELOPER shall perform construction staking/survey. DEVELOPER shall perform all survey, grading, restoration, and inspection for all areas outside of the right-of-way, including all lot corner elevations. All services and installations shall be according to plans and specifications, and subject to the approval and acceptance of the City Engineer. 4. No occupancy permits will be issued for any lot to which utilities have not been extended to and/or for any lot to which access has not been provided by graded, graveled, and properly maintained temporary roads. No occupancy permits will be issued for any lots until an "as -built" grading and drainage plan has been approved by the Department of Public Works. At a minimum, the as -built plan shall show all drainage features, and lot line grades. The as -built plan shall be certified by a Professional Engineer (PE) or a Registered Land Surveyor (RLS) licensed in the State of Wisconsin to be in compliance with the grading and drainage plan approved by the Department of Public Works. All storm water management facilities shall be compared to the original design. Any deviation from the design shall be noted, and the Department of Public Works may require the DEVELOPER to confirm that the as - built facilities comply with the storm water management ordinance. The DEVELOPER intends to construct eight (8) apartment buildings with twelve (12) apartment units in each building (the "Project"). Notwithstanding anything aforesaid to the contrary, the City's Inspection Services Division shall not require the completion of all buildings within the Project as a condition to the issuance of an occupancy permit for each building within the Project as each building is completed and readied for occupancy. The DEVELOPER shall be entitled to, and the City's Inspection Services Division shall issue, an Occupancy Permit for each apartment building within the Project as each building is completed. Byway of clarification, no occupancy permit shall be issued until such time as the storm water management facilities are completed, and sewer and water service are available to each building for which the occupancy permit is sought. Incorporated by reference within this Agreement is the approved grading and drainage plan as required by Chapter 30 of the Oshkosh Municipal Code. These plans shall be adhered to and maintained by the respective lot owners in a manner which is consistent with the original design, function, and capacity of the plan. If the respective lot owners fail, in the sole judgment of the CITY, to properly maintain the grading and drainage Page 2 of 7 plan, the CITY shall give notice of such fact to the respective owner(s) who shall have the time specified in the notice to correct the deficiencies. If the owner(s) does not satisfactorily complete the work within the time allotted, the CITY may enter the property, using its own employees and equipment or contracting with others to complete the work. DEVELOPER hereby grants in perpetuity to the CITY reasonable and appropriate access easements over this subdivision for such purposes. Cost incurred by the CITY will be levied against the respective lot(s) as a special charge pursuant to Section 66.0627 of the Wisconsin Statutes. This provision constitutes DEVELOPER's, and any respective lot owner's, waiver of the notice of hearing and hearing otherwise required by Section 66.0703 of the Wisconsin Statutes. This covenant is intended to run with the land and to survive any subsequent divestiture of title by DEVELOPER, or any respective lot owner(s) to any successor in title, but is not intended to benefit third parties who are not a party to this Agreement. The DEVELOPER agrees to enter into a Long -Term Maintenance Agreement with the CITY prior to any occupancy permits being granted. The Agreement will establish maintenance responsibilities for the storm water management system. 5. It is specifically understood by and between the parties that the amounts set forth in the attached Exhibit "A" Waiver of Special Assessment Notices and Hearing under Section 66.0703, Wisconsin Statutes are estimates only. Invoices and assessments shall be based upon the actual costs of services and construction. In the event that the estimated cost exceeds the actual costs of services and construction, the DEVELOPER shall be responsible only for the actual costs of services and construction. In the event that the actual costs of services and construction exceed the estimated costs, the CITY shall be entitled to assess the property for any excess costs pursuant to statutory notice and hearing or upon execution of an appropriate waiver.

All privately -constructed improvements within any Right -of -Way shall be completed by July 31, 2018 (Grade, Gravel, and Asphalt Paving) or the DEVELOPER shall be considered in default of this Agreement and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 11 relating thereto. 10. The DEVELOPER shall provide a letter(s) of credit, which meets the approval of the City Attorney, in an amount equal to the estimated cost of any publicly -constructed improvements and/or services set forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto which may be drawn upon by the CITY in payment of construction and/or related costs for the public improvements. Such letter(s) of credit shall be filed in the office of the City Clerk prior to approval of the Final Plat by the Common Council. Prior to approval by the Common Council, the DEVELOPER shall file a two-year performance bond or letter(s) of credit, which shall be renewable at the option of the City of Oshkosh if such construction has not been completed by July 31, 2018 and which meets the approval of the City Attorney, which shall guaranty DEVELOPER's performance of any privately -constructed improvements as set forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto. The DEVELOPER may request a reduction in the letter of credit once annually for work that is complete, but not accepted. The CITY will review the request and reduce the letter of credit as it deems appropriate, portions of the value for the work completed will be retained until the guarantee letter of credit is filled. After written acceptance by the CITY of any privately -constructed improvements, DEVELOPER shall submit a letter of credit in the amount specified in the attached Exhibit "A" as a guarantee of such improvements for a period of two (2) years from the date of acceptance. The DEVELOPER shall be responsible for repairs to said privately -constructed improvements during this two-year guaranty period. If the DEVELOPER fails to make any necessary repairs within sixty (60) days of receiving written notice from the CITY, unless such repair work is prevented by weather or other conditions beyond the control of the DEVELOPER, the CITY may make such repairs and draw upon the letter of credit or performance bonds for payment, in addition to any remedies available to the CITY hereunder. Failure to file an appropriate letter of credit shall entitle the CITY to stop all construction work upon the project including construction performed by private contractors, Page 4 of 7 by notice to the DEVELOPER and any contractors. Notice may be given personally to an individual representative of the contractor or DEVELOPER and/or sent by mail to the DEVELOPER or contractor. If construction work continues without filing of an appropriate bond, the CITY shall be entitled to seek an injunction to prevent further work on the project until such time as an appropriate bond is filed and to seek such other and further relief as may be deemed appropriate. In addition to any equitable relief, the CITY may seek monetary damages and upon judgment shall be entitled to its costs and fees in pursuit of any action under the terms of this Paragraph. 11. In addition to the remedies for default provided to the CITY by the financial guarantees contained within this Agreement, the CITY shall have the right without notice or hearing to DEVELOPER, or any successor in title, to impose special assessments for any amount to which the CITY is entitled by virtue of this Agreement upon each and every lot within the subdivision. Such assessments shall be imposed on the individual parcels in accordance with such parcel's share of the amount to which the CITY is entitled in accordance with this Agreement and which amount has not been paid by the DEVELOPER of such parcel or its successors or assigns. With respect to defaulting DEVELOPER, this provision constitutes DEVELOPER's consent to the installation by the CITY or designee of all public improvements and remediations required by this Agreement and constitutes DEVELOPER's, and any successors in title, waiver and consent to all special assessment proceedings as described in Section 66.0703 of the Wisconsin Statutes. This covenant is intended to run with the land and to survive any subsequent divestiture of title by DEVELOPER to, and shall be binding on, any successor in title. The remedies provided in this Agreement are not exclusive. The CITY may use any other remedies available to it. 12.
