In addition, it is understood and agreed that nothing in this Agreement is intended to vest Landowner's rights with respect to any laws, regulations, rules, or official policies of any other goveimtmental agency or public utility company with jurisdiction over the Property or the Project, or any applicable federal or state laws, regulations, rules, or official policies that may be inconsistent with this Agreement and that override or supersede the provisions set forth in this Agreement, and regardless of whether such overriding or superseding Iaws, regulations, rides, or official policies are adopted or applied to the Property or the Project prior or subsequent to the Agreement Date. 114 711110 11 1514 Landowner has expended and will continue to expend substantial amounts of time and money planning and preparing for Development of the Project.

If the alleged Default is cured within the Cure Period, then the Default thereafter shall be deemed not to exist. If a non -monetary Default cannot be cured during the Cure Period with the exercise of commercially reasonable diligence, the defaulting Party must promptly commence to cure as quickly as possible, and in no event later than thirty (30) days after it receives the Notice of Default, and thereafter diligently pursue said cure to completion. 8.2 Default by Landowner. If Landowner is alleged to have committed Default and it disputes the claimed Default, it may make a written request for an appeal hearing before the City Council within ten (10) days of receiving the Notice of Default, and a public hearing shall be scheduled at the next available City Council meeting to consider Landowner's appeal of the Notice of Default. Failure to appeal a Notice of Default to the City Council within the ten (10) day period shall waive any right to a hearing on the claimed Default. If Landowner's appeal of the Notice of Default is timely and in good faith but after a public hearing of Landowner's appeal the City Council concludes that Landowner is in Default as alleged in the Notice of Default, the accrual date for commencement of the thirty (30) day Cure Period provided in Section 8.1 shall be extended until the City Council's denial of Landowner's appeal is communicated to Landowner. 8.3 City's Option to Terminate Agreement. In the event of an alleged Landowner Default, City may not terminate this Agreement without first delivering a written Notice of Default and providing Landowner with the opportunity to cure the Default within the Cure Period, as provided in Section 8.1, and complying with Section 8.2 if Landowner timely appeals any Notice of Default with respect to a non -monetary Default. A termination of this Agreement by City shall be valid only if good cause exists and is supported by evidence presented to the City Council at or in connection with a duly noticed public hearing to establish the existence of a Default. The validity of any termination may be judicially challenged by Landowner. Any such judicial challenge must be brought within ninety (90) calendar days of service on Landowner, by first class mail, postage prepaid, of written notice of termination by City or a written notice of City's determination of an appeal of the Notice of Default as provided in Section 8.2. 8A Default by Cites If Landowner alleges a City Default and alleges that the City has not cured the Default within the Cure Period, Landowner may pursue any equitable remedy available to it under this Agreement, including, without limitation, an action for a writ of mandamus, injunctive relief, or specific performance of City's obligations set forth in this Agreement. Upon a City Default, any resulting delays in Landowner's performance hereunder shall neither be a Landowner Default nor constitute grounds for termination or cancellation of this Agreement by City and shall, at Landowner's option (and provided Landowner delivers written notice to City within thirty (30) ;4 701.1 s 17 1520 days of the commencement of the alleged City Default), extend the Term for a period equal to the length of the delay. 8.5 Waiver, Failure or delay by either Party in delivering a Notice of Default shall not waive that Party's right to deliver a future Notice of Default of the same or any other Default. 8.6 Specific Performance Remedy. Due to the size, nature, and scope of the Project, it will not be practical or possible to restore the Property to its pre-existing condition once implementation of this Agreement has begun. After such implementation, both Landowner and City may be foreclosed from other choices they may have had to plan for the development of the Property, to utilize the Property or provide for other benefits and alternatives. Landowner and City have invested significant time and resources and performed extensive planning and processing of the Project in agreeing to the terms of this Agreement and will be investing even more significant time and resources in implementing the Project in reliance upon the terms of this Agreement. It is not possible to determine the sum of money which ,vould adequately compensate Landowner or City for such efforts. For the above reasons, City and Landowner agree that damages would not be an adequate remedy if either City or Landowner fails to carry out its obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, specific performance of this Agreement is necessary to compensate Landowner if City fails to carry out its obligations under this Agreement or to compensate City if Landowner falls to carry out its obligations under this Agreement. 8.7 Monetary Damaees.

Except as specified above, nonperformance shall not be excused because of the act or omission of a third person. in no event shall the occurrence of an event of force majeure operate to extend the Term of this Agreement.
