14. Default; Breach; Remedy.
(a) Default. Failure or delay by either Party to perform any material term or
provision of this Agreement shall constitute a default under this Agreement. If the Party who is
claimed to be in default by the other Party cures, corrects or remedies the alleged default within
fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of a written "Notice of Default" (as defined in Section
14(b)), such Party shall not be in default under this Agreement. The notice and cure period
provided in the immediately preceding sentence shall not, under any circumstances, extend the
11
45636.06001\5927277.3
Negotiation Period. If there are less than fifteen (15) days remaining in the Negotiation Period,
the cure period allowed pursuant to this Section 14(a) shall be automatically reduced to the
number of days remaining in the Negotiation Period.
(b) Notice of Default. The Party claiming that a default has occurred shall
give written notice of default ("Notice of Default") to the Party claimed to be in default, stating,
with reasonable specificity, the nature of the alleged default and the actions necessary to cure
such allege default. However, the injured Party shall have no right to exercise any remedy for a
default under this Agreement, without first delivering such written Notice of Default..
(c) No Waiver. Any failure or delay by a Party in asserting any of its rights or
remedies as to any default shall not operate as a waiver of any default or of any rights or
remedies associated with a default.
(d) Breach; Termination. If a default of either Party remains uncured for
more than fifteen (15) calendar days following such Party's receipt of written notice of such
default, a "breach" of this Agreement by the defaulting Party shall have occurred, except as
otherwise provided in Section 14(a) during the last fifteen (15) calendar days of the Negotiation
Period. In the event of a breach of this Agreement, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Party
who is not in breach, shall be to terminate this Agreement by serving written notice of
termination on the Party in breach and, in the case of a breach by Agency, Developer shall also
be entitled to receive the Liquidated Damages Amount and the recovery of any damages
(collectively, "Fraud Damages") arising out of or related to the Agency's fraud or willful
misconduct (collectively, "Fraudulent Conduct"). Likewise, the Agency may recover Fraud
Damages against Developer arising out of or related to Developer's Fraudulent Conduct. Upon
receipt by the breaching Party of a written notice of termination (and in the case of a breach by
the Agency, receipt by the Developer of the entire Liquidated Damages Amount), neither Party
shall have any further rights against or obligation to the other Party unless the other Party is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be guilty of Fraudulent Conduct, in which case the non -
defaulting Party shall be entitled to Fraud Damages arising out of or related to such Fraudulent
Conduct. The failure of Developer to timely make the deposit of funds required under this
Agreement or to timely submit any item described in Section 4 shall be considered a "material"
default under this Agreement by Developer.

responsibility for, and hold Developer and its officers, employees, contractors, agents, and
representatives harmless from, all claims, demands, damages, defense costs or liability of any

attorneys' fees" mean and include, in the case of Agency, salaries and expenses of the lawyers
employed by Agency (allocated on an hourly basis) who may provide legal services to Agency in
connection with the representation of Agency in any such matter.
26. Termination as a Result in Change of Law. Developer acknowledges that on
January 10, 2011 Governor Jerry Brown proposed legislation to eliminate Redevelopment
Agencies and the related funding source. As such, Developer and Agency agree that if there is a
change in the law, that in the Agency's reasonable discretion, prevents the Agency or its
successor from performing Agency's obligations hereunder, the Agency may terminate this
Agreement by delivery of written notice to Developer. Termination of this Agreement pursuant
to this Section shall not be a default under this Agreement and Developer shall not be entitled to
damages as a result of this termination. This is intended to constitute a present, binding,
unconditional obligation of the Agency.
