Section 6.02 Additional Remedies of Authority
In the event that:
(a)The Redeveloper, on successor in interest, shall fail to complete the
construction of the Project on or before January 1, 2015, or shall abandon construction
work for any period of 90 days,
(b)The Redeveloper, on successor in interest, shall fail to pay real estate taxes
or assessments on the Redevelopment Area on any part thereof when due; or
(c) There is, in violation of Section 4.01 of this Redevelopment Contract, and
such failure or action by the Redeveloper has not been cured within 30 days following
written notice from Authority, then the Redeveloper shall be in default of this
Redevelopment Contract.
In the event of such failure to perform, breach or default occurs and is not cured in the
period herein provided, the parties agree that the damages caused to the Authority would be
difficult to determine with certainty and that a reasonable estimation of the amount of damages
that could be incurred is the amount of the grant to Redeveloper pursuant to Section 3.04 of this
Redevelopment Contract, less any reductions in the principal amount of the TIF Indebtedness,
plus interest on such amounts as provided herein (the “Liquidated Damages Amount”). The
Liquidated Damages Amount shall be paid by Redeveloper to Authority within 30 days of
demand from Authority.
Interest shall accrue on the Liquidated Damages Amount at the rate of one percent (1%)
over the prime rate as published and modified in the Wall Street Journal from time to time and
interest shall commence from the date that the Authority gives notice to the Redeveloper
demanding payment.
Payment of the Liquidated Damages Amount shall not relieve Redeveloper of its
obligation to pay real estate taxes or assessments with respect to the Project.
Section 6.03 Remedies in the Event of Other Redeveloper Defaults.
In the event the Redeveloper fails to perform any other provisions of this Redevelopment
Contract (other than those specific provisions contained in Section 6.02), the Redeveloper shall
be in default. In such an instance, the Authority may seek to enforce the terms of this
Redevelopment Contract or exercise any other remedies that may be provided in this
Redevelopment Contract or by applicable law; provided, however, that the default covered by
this Section shall not give rise to a right or rescission on termination of this Redevelopment
Contract, and shall not be covered by the Liquidated Damages Amount.

Section 6.04 Forced Delay Beyond Party’s Control.
For the purposes of any of the provisions of this Redevelopment Contract, neither the
Authority nor the Redeveloper, as the case may be, nor any successor in interest, shall be
considered in breach of or default in its obligations with respect to the conveyance or preparation
of the Redevelopment Area for redevelopment, or the beginning and completion of construction
of the Project, or progress in respect thereto, in the event of forced delay in the performance of
such obligations due to unforeseeable causes beyond its control and without its fault or
negligence, including, but not restricted to, acts of God, or of the public enemy, acts of the
Government, acts of the other party, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes,
freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather or delays in subcontractors due to such causes;
it being the purpose and intent of this provision that in the event of the occurrence of any such
forced delay, the time or times for performance of the obligations of the Authority or of the
Redeveloper with respect to construction of the Project, as the case may be, shall be extended for
the period of the forced delay: Provided, that the party seeking the benefit of the provisions of
this section shall, within thirty (30) days after the beginning of any such forced delay, have first
notified the other party thereto in writing, and of the cause or causes thereof and requested an
extension for the period of the forced delay.
Section 6.05 Limitations of Liability; Indemnification.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI or this Redevelopment Contract to the
contrary, neither the City, the Authority, nor their officers, directors, employees, agents nor their
governing bodies shall have any pecuniary obligation or monetary liability under this
Redevelopment Contract. The sole obligation of the Authority under this Redevelopment
Contract shall be the issuance of the TIF Indebtedness and granting of a portion of the proceeds
thereof to Redeveloper, as specifically set forth in Sections 3.02 and 3.04. The obligation of the
City and Authority on any TIF Indebtedness shall be limited solely to the payment of the TIF
Revenues on the TIF Indebtedness. Specifically, but without limitation, neither the City nor
Authority shall be liable for any costs, liabilities, actions, demands, or damages for failure of any
representations, warranties or obligations hereunder. The Redeveloper releases the City and
Authority from, agrees that neither the City or Authority shall be liable for, and agrees to
indemnify and hold the City and Authority harmless from any liability for any loss or damage to
property or any injury to or death of any person that may be occasioned by any cause whatsoever
pertaining to the Project.
The Redeveloper will indemnify and hold each of the City and Authority and their
directors, officers, agents, employees and member of their governing bodies free and harmless
from any loss, claim, damage, demand, tax, penalty, liability, disbursement, expense, including
litigation expenses, attorneys’ fees and expenses, or court costs arising out of any damage or
injury, actual or claimed, of whatsoever kind or character, to property (including loss of use
thereof) or persons, occurring or allegedly occurring in, on or about the Project during the term
of this Redevelopment Contract or arising out of any action or inaction of Redeveloper, whether
