County agrees that Subdivider may defer setting permanent and non - permanent interior survey monuments in said subdivision tract for the period within which Subdivider agrees to complete same. 2. Subdivider agrees to cause all permanent and non - permanent interior monuments to be set in said subdivision tract within one (1) year from the date of approval by the Board of Supervisors of the final map of said subdivision (or, if improvement work is to be done under a completion agreement, then within any extension or extensions of time for completion of such improvement work as may be authorized by the Board of Supervisors under Section 18.55.120 of the Land Division Ordinance), in a manner found by the County Surveyor to be in full and faithful compliance with Section 66495 of the Government Code, Section 8771 of the Business and Professions Code, and Section 18.45.040 C. of the Land Division Ordinance,and to cause prompt amendment of the filed map under Sections 66469 to 66472, inclusive, of the Government Code, as may appear necessary to the County Surveyor. 3.

(c) In any of the events mentioned in paragraph 4 of this agreement, if the Board of Supervisors directs the County Surveyor, or selects another engineer or surveyor, to so set such monuments and /or to so amend the filed map, when such work has been completed the County shall be entitled to use such cash deposit to reimburse itself for any and all expenses incurred by it for such purposes. (d) If and when the County Surveyor shall certify to the Board of Supervisors of the County that all permanent and non - permanent interior survey monuments required for said subdivision have been properly set in accordance with Section 66495 of the Government Code, Section 8771 of the Business and Professions Cade, and Sections 18.45.040 C. of the Land Division Ordinance, and that all amendments of the filed map deemed by him to be necessary under Sections 66496 to 66472, inclusive, of the Government Code have been carried out, then so much of the cash deposit which has not been used or which the Board of Supervisors has not determined to use, under this paragraph, shall be refunded to the Subdivider. 7. It is mutually agreed that, if County should recover any sum from the Subdivider under this agreement, or from the Subdivider or his Surety under any surety bond provided to secure this agreement, that (apart from any attorney's fees or costs awarded to the County in any suit) the County shall be deemed to hold any sum so recovered in trust, which it shall use to pay, or reimburse itself for, those sums which the Subdivider agrees to pay under this agreement. B. The County shall not be deemed liable for any fee or expenses of any surveyor or engineer, excepting one selected by the Board of Supervisors as mentioned by paragraph 4. 9.
