WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, the undersigned Developer, is required to construct certain off-site roadway improvements within County right-of-way relating to 4t' Ave SE associated with its project known as Blue Stream Communications, LLC; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Indian River County Code Section 312.11, and as a condition of County right-of-way permit #2025100051, Developer is required to post acceptable security in the amount of 115% of the estimated costs of the proposed roadway improvements, submitted by an engineer registered in the State of Florida to practice professional engineering, and approved by County, to guaranty installation and completion of the required improvements to the satisfaction of County; and WHEREAS, said required roadway improvements are to be completed within twelve (12) months from the issuance of County right-of-way permit #2025100051; and WHEREAS, Developer shall post either cash, letter of credit or Public Construction bond to guaranty installation and completion of the required roadway improvements. Upon completion of the required roadway improvements by Developer and upon approval of same by the County Public Works Director, Developer shall be entitled to a ninety percent (90%) reduction of the security posted. Developer shall then post an amount equal to the remaining ten percent (10%) to be held as warranty security for one (1) year from the date of approval by the County Public Works Director. If Developer posts cash as guaranty, then upon completion and County approval of the required roadway improvements, ninety percent (90%) of the amount posted will be released by County with the remaining ten percent (10%) to be held as warranty security for one (1) year from the date of approval by the County Public Works Director. If guaranty security is posted in the form of a letter of credit, upon completion of the required improvements and County approval, the letter of credit may be reduced by ninety percent (90%), but the remaining ten percent (10%) letter of credit must remain valid for 90 days beyond the 1 -year warranty period. If a Public Construction bond is posted as security, upon completion of the required improvements and approval by the County, Developer shall post a warranty bond in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the Public Construction bond amount; and the Public Construction bond will not be released until the acceptable warranty bond is in place; and WHEREAS, at the completion of the roadway improvements, Developer agrees to execute a Warranty and Guaranty Agreement and Bill of Sale to warranty the roadway improvements for a period of one year against defects due to faulty field engineering, workmanship, or materials, secured with the remainder ten percent (10%) security mentioned above; and WHEREAS, nearing the end of the 1 -year warranty period, or sooner if the need arises, County will cause inspections to be performed to determine if all roadway improvements remain free from defects due to faulty field engineering, workmanship, or materials. If the roadway improvements are determined to be acceptable, then the remaining ten percent (10%) security will be released by the County Public Works Director at the end of the warranty period. In the alternative, if the roadway improvements are found to be defective, County will notify Developer of such defect(s) and Developer must cure the defect(s) within twenty (20) days of written notice by County. If cash is escrowed, failure to cure any defects will result in the County declaring a default and authorizing the funds to be disbursed from escrow to pay for the repairs; or if a letter of credit is posted, failure to cure any defects will result in the County calling the letter of credit to pay for the repairs; or if a warranty surety bond is posted, failure to cure any defects will result in the County making a claim against the surety bond; and WHEREAS, failure by Developer to construct the required roadway improvements within the 12 -month period from the issuance of the right-of-way permit will cause Developer to be in default under this agreement, and Developer and the underlying security shall be jointly and severally liable to pay for the cost of construction and installment of the required improvements to the final total cost; NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL COVENANTS AND PROMISES HEREIN CONTAINED, the parties agree as follows: 1.

Developer shall remain wholly liable for any resulting deficiency, should the posted security be exhausted prior to completion of the required roadway improvements. In no event shall the County be obligated to expend public funds, or any funds other than those provided by or posted on behalf of the Developer to construct the required roadway improvements. 7. At the completion of the roadway improvements, Developer agrees to execute a Warranty and Guaranty Agreement and Bill of Sale to transfer all its right, title and interest to the County in and to all those roadway improvements constructed within the public right-of-way, free and clear of encumbrances, together with the assignment of all existing warranties, and Developer's agreement to warranty and guaranty the improvements for a 1 -year period and, on each occasion, and at Developer's expense, correct any defect due to faulty field engineering, workmanship, or materials within 20 days of written notice by County. 8. Any security provided to the County by or on behalf of Developer with respect to this contract shall exist solely for the use and benefit of the County and shall not be construed or intended in any way, expressly or impliedly, to benefit or secure payment to any subcontractor, laborer, materialman or other party providing labor, material, supplies, or services for construction of the required roadway improvements, unless the County shall agree otherwise in writing. 3 9.
