Station Square Project, the Developer may, from time to time, make alterations and
improvements, structural or otherwise, to the Station Square Project as the Developer
deems desirable and consistent with the Station Square Project Plans and Specifications
for the uses contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that prior to the
commencement of any material alterations or improvements of sufficient size and scope
as to constitute a material change in the previously approved Station Square Project
Plans and Specifications, the Developer shall notify the Agency of such material change
and may submit a change, amendment or revision to the Station Square Project Plans
and Specifications to the Agency for review as provided in Sections 4.03 and 4.04 hereof.

Upon making such a determination the Agency shall execute the certificate and return it
to the Developer. The date of the Completion Certificate shall be the date when the last

(2) The Completion Certificate shall constitute a conclusive determination by
the parties hereto of the satisfaction and termination of the obligations of the Developer

Section 8.05 shall be a waiver of the rights, duties, obligations or responsibilities of the
City or any other governmental entity acting in its regulatory or governmental capacity or
an approval of said construction for purposes of the issuance of a certificate of occupancy
for the Project.
(3) The parties agree that it is their intent that the review by the Agency for
purposes of the Completion Certificate determination pursuant to this Section 8.05 is not
to be an additional or duplicate inspection over and above that required for purposes of
the Building Permit, including the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The Agency
agrees that for purposes of determining if the Station Square Project has been
substantially completed in accordance with the Station Square Project Plans and
Specifications, the issuance of a certificate of occupancy shall be a conclusive
determination of substantial completion for purposes of this subsection (a) and, if such
certificate has been determined to have been issued, then the Agency agrees to execute
the Completion Certificate.
(b) If the Agency shall refuse or fail to execute the Completion Certificate after receipt
of a request by the Developer to do so, then the Agency shall, within ten (10) days after
its receipt of such request, provide the Developer with a written statement setting forth in
reasonable detail the reason(s) why the Agency has not executed the Completion
Certificate and what must be done by the Developer to satisfy such objections so that the
Agency would sign the certificate. Upon the Developer satisfying the Agency's objections,
then the Developer shall submit a new request to the Agency for execution of the
Completion Certificate and that request shall be considered and acted upon in
accordance with the procedures in paragraph (a)(1) for the original request.

longer period of time as may be necessary then, in addition to any remedy available

(a) Provided the Developer is not then in default under Section 13.01, there shall be
an "event of default" by the Agency under this Agreement in the event the Agency shall
fail to perform or comply with any material provision of this Agreement applicable to it;
provided, however, that suspension of or delay in performance by the Agency during any
period in which the Developer is in default of this Agreement as provided in Section 13.01
hereof will not constitute an event of default by the Agency under this subsection (a).
(b) If an event of default by the Agency described in subsection (a) shall occur, the
Developer shall provide written notice thereof to the Agency, and, after expiration of the
curative period described in paragraph (2) below, may terminate this Agreement, institute
an action to compel specific performance of the terms hereof by the Agency or pursue

however, if the event of default by the Agency occurs on or prior to the Closing Date, any
monetary recovery by the Developer in any such action shall not include any lost profits or
consequential damages and shall be limited to bona fide third-party out-of-pocket costs
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the Developer in
connection with the negotiation of this Agreement as well as any investigation, due
diligence, development, design or construction costs incurred by the Developer in
connection with the proposed acquisition and development of the Station Square Parking
Lot Site, unless any such default by the Agency was willful and committed in bad faith
with reckless disregard for the rights of the Developer.
(c) The Developer may not terminate this Agreement or institute an action described
in paragraphs (a) or (b) above if the Agency cures such event of default within thirty (30)
days after receipt by the Agency of written notice from the Developer specifying in
reasonable detail the event of default by the Agency, or if any such event of default is of
such nature that it cannot be completely cured within such period, then within such

however, if the Agency is proceeding diligently and in good faith, the curative period shall
be extended for a period of not exceeding an aggregate of thirty (30) days without any
approval or consent of the Developer being required, but such approval will be required
(and shall be given or withheld in Developer's sole discretion) if the curative period is to
be extended beyond thirty (60) days after the notice of default has been given by the
Developer to the Agency if the Agency has commenced to cure such default within such
thirty (30) day period and is diligently prosecuting such curative action to completion. The
Agency shall within said thirty (30) day period or such longer period promptly, diligently
and in good faith proceed to cure such event of default after receipt of the notice from the
Station Square Development
2-10-04 Draft

Developer and shall succeed in curing such event of default within said period of time,
provided, however, if the Agency shall fail to cure such event of default within said thirty
(30) day or longer period or ceases to proceed diligently to timely cure such event of
default, then the Developer may proceed with its available remedies without providing any
additional notice to the Agency.
(d) In the event of a default by Agency in the construction and completion of the
Infrastructure Improvements which is not cured within the cure period provided in
paragraph (c) above, Developer may elect, at its option, without limiting Developer's right
to pursue any other remedy provided in this Agreement, to undertake to complete
construction of the Infrastructure Improvements in such a manner as Developer deems
reasonably necessary or appropriate under the circumstances. In such event, the
I nfrastructure Plans and Specifications, working drawings, construction contracts, contract
documents, Building Permits, Permits and any other documents or information related to
the construction of the Infrastructure Improvements will be deemed then assigned by
Agency to Developer without the necessity of any other action being taken or not taken by
any party hereto, and Agency shall undertake all steps as are reasonably necessary to
assist Developer in gaining access to the areas upon which the Infrastructure
Improvements are to be made. In the event Developer elects to exercise such
construction of the Infrastructure Improvements, Agency shall be obligated to promptly
reimburse Developer for all costs (including any costs of overtime or premium work
necessary to achieve the completion of the Infrastructure Improvements in accordance
with the Infrastructure Schedule or as required to avoid delay in completion), incurred by
Developer in connection with such construction of the Infrastructure Improvements to the
extent that funds are available in the same and shall then be made from such other funds
as are legally available to the Agency. Such reimbursement shall include interest on the
amounts so expended by Developer at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from
the date such amounts were expended by Developer until the date they have been
reimbursed by Agency.
(e) Any attempt by the Developer to pursue any of the remedies referred to in
paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d) above will not be deemed an exclusive election of remedy or
waiver of the Developer's right to pursue any other remedy to which it might be entitled.
(f) Any time periods or deadlines provided in this Agreement shall be tolled or
extended by the amount of time to cure any event of default hereunder if such event
affects the Developer's or Agency's ability to perform by such deadline or the expiration of
such period.
13.03. Obligations, Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Unless specifically stated herein to
the contrary, the specified rights and remedies to which either the Agency or the
Developer are entitled under this Agreement are not exclusive and are intended to be in
addition to any other remedies or means of redress to which the Agency or the Developer
may lawfully be entitled and are not specifically prohibited by this Agreement. The

Agency shall at such time be in default of their obligations hereunder shall not be deemed
to be an "event of default." The suspension of, or delay in, the performance of the
obligations by the Agency while the Developer shall at such time be in default of its
obligations hereunder shall not be deemed to be an "event of default" by the Agency.

Agency or the Developer to promptly or continually insist upon strict performance of any
term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, or any Exhibit hereto, or any
other agreement, instrument or document of whatever form or nature contemplated
hereby shall not be deemed a waiver of any right or remedy that the Agency or the

nonperformance of such term, covenant, condition or provision.

conditions, the parties hereto mutually agree that, provided the appropriate or responsible
party therefor diligently and in good faith seeks to the fullest extent of its capabilities to
cause such event or condition to occur or be satisfied, the failure of the events or
conditions listed in subsection (b) below to occur or be satisfied shall not constitute an
event of default by any party under this Article 13, but may be the basis for a termination
of this Agreement as provided in this Section 13.05.

by the Developer, unduly delays or denies or fails to issue the Permits, issue the
Building Permits, or approve any other land use approval necessary to commence
construction of the Station Square Project on the Station Square Parking Lot Site;

Project, may elect to terminate this Agreement by giving a notice to the other party
hereto within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such event or the determination of
inability to cause a condition precedent to occur or be satisfied, stating its election to
terminate this Agreement as a result thereof, in which case this Agreement shall then
terminate, provided, however, only the Developer may elect to terminate this
Agreement upon the occurrence of an event described in paragraph '3),(7),(8), and(9).

otherwise, for any claim or matter arising from or as a result of this Agreement or any
actions taken by the Developer and the Agency, or any of them, hereunder or
contemplated hereby, and each party shall be responsible for its own costs.
