period, then if the Agency is not then in default of this Agreement and the Developer shall not
have commenced to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and shall not diligently
prosecute such cure to completion within such reasonable longer period of time as may be
necessary then, in addition to any remedy available under Section 9.03, the Agency may
terminate this Agreement or pursue any and all legal or equitable remedies to which the Agency
is entitled, provided, however, if the Developer 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
18
default, then the Agency may proceed to enforce other available remedies without providing any
additional notice to the Developer.

attorneys' fees, incurred by the Developer in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement

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 Developer

entitled and are not specifically prohibited by this Agreement. The suspension of, or delay in,
the performance of its obligations by the Developer, while 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.
9.04. Non-Action on Failure to Observe Provisions of this A2reement. The failure
of the 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 Developer may have, and shall
not be deemed a waiver of a subsequent default or nonperformance of such term, covenant,
condition or provision.
9.05. Termination.
(a) The Developer and the Agency acknowledge and agree that as of the Effective
Date certain matters mutually agreed by the parties hereto are essential to the successful
20
development of the Project have not been satisfied or are subject to certain conditions, legal
requirements or approvals beyond the control of any of the parties hereto or which cannot be
definitely resolved under this Agreement. In recognition of these events or 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 9, but may be the basis for a termination of this Agreement as provided in this Section
9.05.
(b) In addition to any other rights of termination provided elsewhere in this
Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated as provided in subsection (c) after the occurrence
of any of the following events or conditions:
(1) All of the Site is taken by the exercise of the power of eminent domain by
a governmental authority (except the City or the Agency) or a person entitled to exercise such
power or benefiting therefrom, or such part of the Site is taken by the power of eminent domain
so as to render the Project commercially unfeasible or unusable for its intended uses as
contemplated by this Agreement;
(2) The appropriate governmental authority (but not including the City in
exercise of its governmental and regulatory authority and responsibility), upon petition 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 Project on the
Site;
(3) A moratorium on new construction is imposed by a governmental
authority within the City or Pinellas County so as to prevent construction of the Project to
commence;
(4) The City or other appropriate governmental authority has issued a
concurrency compliance certificate or a reservation of services capacity as described in Section
3.05 and such certificate or reservation has been revoked, repealed, superseded, or otherwise no
longer of any effect or the Developer is unable to rely upon such certificate or reservation, if
such a certificate or reservation is required for development of the Project on the Site, and the
Developer cannot obtain a new or replacement certificate or reservation for the Project.
(5) The City approves an amendment to the Plan which is inconsistent with
the Project being located on the Site.
(6) Utilities are not readily available at the boundaries of the Site at locations
satisfactory to the Developer by the Closing Date.
21
(c) Upon the occurrence of an event described in subsection (b), then the Developer
or the Agency may upon determining that such event cannot reasonably be expected to change in
the foreseeable future so as to allow development of the 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 (5) and (6).
(d) In the event of a termination pursuant to Section 9.05(c), neither the Developer
nor the Agency shall be obligated or liable one to the other in any way, financially or 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.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any
party shall have, but shall not exercise, the right hereunder to terminate this Agreement because
of the non-satisfaction of any condition specified herein, and such condition is subsequently
satisfied, then the non-satisfaction of such condition shall no longer be the basis for termination
of this Agreement.
9.06. Termination Certificate.
(a) In the event of a termination of this Agreement for any reason prior to the
Expiration Date, each of the parties hereto do covenant and agree with each other to promptly
execute a certificate prepared by the party electing to terminate this Agreement, which certificate
shall expressly state that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, is no
longer of any force and effect except for those provisions hereof which expressly survive
termination, that the rights, duties and obligations of the parties hereto have been terminated and
released (subject to those surviving provisions hereof) and that the Site is no longer subject to
any restrictions, limitations or encumbrances imposed by this Agreement.
(b) The certificate described in subsection (a) shall be prepared in a form suitable for
recording and promptly after execution by all of the parties hereto shall be recorded in the public
records of Pinellas County, Florida. The cost of recording the termination certificate shall be
paid by the terminating party.

cumulative and shall survive the technical termination of this Agreement pursuant to execution,
delivery and recordation of a Termination Certificate or otherwise hereunder.
