If the Improvements (other than the final lift of asphalt) are not completed on , 200_, the City may also draw upon or enforce the Security. If the Security is drawn upon, the draw shall be used to cure the default (including completion of the Improvements by the City, provided the City shall have no obligation to complete the Improvements) and may also be used to payor reimburse the City for any cost, expenses or damages recoverable under Paragraph 15 of this Development Agreement. The Security shall be released to Developer on the Termination Date. In the event the City receives notice of or claims from laborers, materialmen or others contributing to the Improvements that any amounts due them have not been paid when due, and such laborers, materialmen or others are seeking payment out of the Security or intend to assert claims against the City, the Improvements or the real property on which the Improvements have been installed, and if such claims are not fully resolved at least ninety (90) days before the Security will expire, Developer hereby authorizes the City to commence an Interpleader action pursuant to Rule 22, Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure for the District Courts, to draw upon the Security in an amount up to 125 percent of the claims and deposit the amount so drawn with the District Court Administrator in compliance with said Rule 22, and, upon such deposit, c:Hopcivil\MathwigPUD2ndBL 16 Developer shall release, discharge and dismiss the City from any further proceedings as it pertains to the sums deposited with the District Court Administrator, except that the Court shall retain jurisdiction to determine attorneys' fees.
