6.3 Successors and Assigns.

heirs, administrators, executors, personal representatives, agents, successors and assigns.
(b) Until Substantial Completion of the Development Project has occurred, the obligations of

demonstration by Developer of the proposed assignee's experience and financial capability to undertake

Infrastructure Improvements, all in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Developer is permitted to subcontract the construction of any portion of the Development Project or Internal
Infrastructure Improvements without the consent of City but Developer will remain liable under this

(2) the right of Developer to assign Developer's rights, duties and obligations under
the Agreement to a Related Party; or
(3) the right of Developer to sell or lease individual portions of the Property in the

on Exhibit F, the Developer will give notice to the City summarizing the expected delay and the cause of
the expected delay (the "Delay Notice"). Within 60 days following delivery of a Delay Notice to the City,
the Developer will appear before the Governing Body to discuss the Delay Notice and Project Milestones.
If the Developer fails to meet the Project Milestones set forth on Exhibit F, the Governing Body may reduce
the total Eligible Costs to be reimbursed to Developer as set forth on Exhibit F. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Developer fails to meet a Project Milestone and such failure continues for 6 months after the
date set forth on Exhibit F, the City may pursue any remedy available pursuant to Section 6.4(b) or 6.4(d)
without the necessity of the applicable notice and cure periods.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and subject to Developer's and City's
respective rights of termination, in the event of any breach of any term or condition of this Agreement by
either Party, or any successor, the breaching Party (or successor) will, upon written notice from the other
Party specifying such claimed breach, proceed immediately to cure or remedy such breach, and will, in any
event, within 30 days after receipt of notice, cure or remedy such default. If the breach is not cured or
remedied, the aggrieved Party may hold the breaching Party in default of this Agreement and there upon
may institute such proceedings as may be necessary or desirable in its opinion to cure and remedy such

ordinance establishing the District. For purposes of this Section 6.4, no Party may be deemed in default of
this Agreement unless and until it has received notice of any claimed breach and has been given an
opportunity to cure the same.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event will the Developer or
the City, its Governing Body members, officers, employees, agents or independent contractors ever be
liable for any punitive, special, incidental, or consequential damages in connection with this Agreement.
For purposes of this Section 6.4, consequential damages include, but are not limited to, lost profits, lost tax
revenue, or other similar losses which are not direct out-of-pocket costs incurred by the non-defaulting
Party. Any monetary damages owed by the City will be limited to and will only be payable from the
Developer's pro-rata portion of RHID Funds actually received by the City as a result of the creation of the
District.
(d) Notwithstanding any other prov1s1on of this Agreement, if Developer defaults in or
breaches any material provision of this Agreement and fails to cure such default or breach within thirty (30)
days after receipt of written notice from City of such default or breach, the City may deem Developer's
Eligible Expenses to be $0 and continue to collect and distribute RHID Funds on a pro-rata basis between

judgment resulting from any litigation affecting the validity of this Agreement; provided that such event of
force majeure will not be deemed to exist as to any matter initiated or unreasonably sustained by Developer,

of such claimed event of force majeure.
