Unless the Developer pays the entire balance owed for the Charges contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Developer shall provide to the City a cash escrow or irrevocable letter of credit in an amount equal to 35% of the total assessments for the Charges as estimated by the City Engineer (see Attachment B). The letter of credit shall be in a form, and from a bank, as approved by the City. The letter of credit or cash escrow may be used by the City upon default by Developer in the payment of special assessments. The cash escrow or letter of credit shall remain in place throughout the term of the special assessments. c. Developer, its heirs, successors or assigns, agrees that within 30 days after the date of sale of a lot, the Developer, its heirs, successors or assigns, at its own cost and expense, shall pay the entire unpaid Charges assessed or to be assessed under this agreement against such property. d. If a certificate of occupancy is issued before the special assessments have been levied, the Developer, its heirs, successors or assigns shall pay the City the sum of cash equal to 120% of the Engineer's estimate of the special assessments for such Charges that would be levied against the property. Upon such payment the City shall issue a certificate showing the assessments are paid in full. Notwithstanding the issuance of said certificate, the Developer shall be liable to the City for any deficiency and the City shall pay the Developer any surplus arising from the payment based upon such estimate. e. Acceleration upon Default.
