prior to the commencement of construction of any Improvements, obtain financial security in one
of the following three methods, in the sum of one hundred and twenty-five (125%) of the
engineer’s estimated costs for all Improvements, which engineer’s cost estimate shall be revised
and updated within ninety (90) days of securing the financial guarantee described in Section 1.
Obtain from a County approved financial institution or approved private financier an irrevocable
12-month letter of credit with guaranteed 6 to 12 month extensions as needed until the public
Improvements are completed and accepted by the County or 6 months after the expiration date of
this Development Agreement; 2. Deposit into a Teton County escrow account funds in the form of
a certified check or cash available for disbursement upon signatures by the Developer and Teton
County. The County shall maintain any interest accrued. 3. Obtain a negotiable construction or
development bond from a County-approved bonding company for the estimated length of time to
fully complete the Improvements including acceptance by the County. The amount of the
escrowed funds shall be released for the completed and approved portion of the scheduled
Improvements on the subject Property by line item as described on the engineer’s cost estimate in
Exhibit B. If the County releases a portion of the escrowed funds, the County shall retain twenty
five percent (25%) of the original escrowed amount. The Developer shall be limited to three
partial releases of escrow per phase. Any amount of the escrowed funds remaining in letter of
credit, escrow account, or bond shall not be released until one hundred percent (100%) complete
installation and approval of all County required Improvements, including signage and the
successful completion of all warranty periods. Ten (10) percent of the original approved engineer’s
cost estimate for the Improvements shall be provided in one of the three methods presented above
in this Section for the entire warranty period described in Section 18 to guarantee the correction of
any defects or deficiencies.
Section 21. Remedies. In the event the Developer fails to perform any of the terms, conditions or
obligations in this Agreement or has not resolved a defect or deficiency under this Agreement, the
County, at its option, may exercise any rights and remedies it may have under law. Furthermore,
the County reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to revoke the Developer’s entitlements for
_____________________________ and after such revocation, if Developer chooses to move
forward, Developer will have to reapply for approval under the then current County ordinances.
Teton County may impose penalties on the Developer in the form of monetary fines, not to exceed
the outstanding balance of work not performed or carried out at the scheduled completion date or
not to exceed the work to correct the defect or deficiency. The County may withhold the issuance
of any building permit or certificate of occupancy for any structure located in the Development,
refuse to accept ownership and maintenance of any County Improvements and record a notice of
such action in the Teton County Clerk and Recorder’s Office, or issue a “stop work” or “cease and
desist” order for any building or Improvement under construction in the Development. All of the
above remedies are cumulative and to the extent not wholly inconsistent with each other, may be
enforced simultaneously or separately, at the sole discretion of the County.
Section 22. Voided Agreement. The County, at its option, may void this Agreement and any
vested right should the Developer’s failure to perform in compliance with this Agreement results in
the County seizing the escrow to complete the Infrastructure or correct the defect or deficiency.
Section 23. Default. If the Developer defaults or fails to fully perform any of its obligations in
accordance with this Agreement, or fails or refuses to correct any defect or deficiency in the
Improvements required by this Agreement, Teton County shall inform the Developer in writing of
the specific default or failing. If the default or failing continues for thirty (30) days after such
written notice and the Developer makes no attempt to remedy the default, Teton County shall have,
in addition to all of its other rights under the law, the right to complete the construction of the
