other remedies available, the City is hereby authorized to withhold any further permits for the

Agreement or any provision hereof shall be instituted only in the courts of the State of Florida or

jurisdiction in Miami-Dade County. In addition to any other legal rights, the City and the Owner
shall each have the right to specific performance of this Agreement in court. If an action is
brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees. Each

jurisdiction of the aforementioned courts and irrevocably waive any objections to said
jurisdiction. The Parties irrevocably waive any rights to a jury trial.

cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the City

cure such breach within said thirty (30) day period, diligently prosecutes such
cure to completion, and notifies the City in writing of its attempt to comply. If

Owner shall request written consent from the City to extend the cure period
beyond the additional ninety (90) days. Pursuant to Section 35 of this Agreement,
the City shall provide a written response to said request within five (5) days of
receipt. If the City fails to provide a written response within five (5) days, the cure
period shall be deemed automatically extended for an additional ninety (90) days.

breaches any term, covenant, or condition of this Agreement and such failure is
not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Owner
specifying the nature of such breach. If such breach cannot reasonably be cured
within thirty (30) days, the City shall not be in default if it commences to cure
such breach within said thirty (30) day period, diligently prosecutes such cure to
completion, and notifies the Owner in writing of its attempt to comply. If such
breach cannot be cured within an additional ninety (90) day period, the City shall

request within five (5) days of receipt. If the Owner fails to provide a written
response within five (5) days, the cure period shall be deemed automatically

by a court of competent jurisdiction after the Project has been built. All rights and
obligations in this Agreement shall survive such bankruptcy of either party. The
Parties hereby forfeit any right to terminate this Agreement upon the bankruptcy
of the other Party.
(d) The default of any Owner, successor, or Owner of any portion of the Owner’s
rights hereunder shall not be deemed a breach by any other Owner, any other
successor, or Owner of any portion of the rights of the Owner hereunder or any
other successor.
Section 29. Remedies Upon Default.
(a) Neither party may terminate this Agreement upon the default of the other party,
except as specifically provided in this Agreement, but shall have all of the
remedies enumerated herein.
(b) Upon the occurrence of a default by a party to this Agreement not cured within
the applicable grace period, the Owner and the City agree that any party may seek
specific performance of this Agreement, and that seeking specific performance
shall not waive any right of such party to also seek monetary damages, injunctive
relief, or any other relief other than termination of this Agreement. If an action is
brought in a court of competent jurisdiction to seek specific performance, each
Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees.
Section 30. Obligations Surviving Termination Hereof. Notwithstanding and prevailing
over any contrary term or provision contained herein, in the event of any lawful termination of
this Agreement, the following obligations shall survive such termination and continue in full
force and effect until the expiration of a one (1) year term following the earlier of the Effective
Date of such termination or the expiration of the Term: (i) the exclusive venue and choice of law
provisions contained herein; (ii) rights of any party arising during or attributable to the period
prior to expiration or termination of this Agreement; and (iii) any other term or provision herein
which expressly indicates either that it survives the termination or expiration hereof or is or may
be applicable or effective beyond the expiration or permitted early termination hereof. In no
event shall this Agreement terminate early other than for those reasons stated in this Agreement.
Section 31. Lack of Agency Relationship. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as
establishing an agency relationship between the Parties nor its employees, agents, contractors,
subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates, or guests shall be deemed agents, instrumentalities, employees,

obligations set forth in this Agreement shall run with the Property and extend to the Owner, its

of the City, the City Manager, and/or the City Attorney, the approval shall be expressed in

any such approval within five (5) days after receipt of written notice requesting the same and
after any applicable cure period as specified in Section 28 of this Agreement (or such other time
period as may be expressly provided in this Agreement), shall be deemed approval of such
matter.

Owner and the City under this Agreement. Whenever this Agreement provides for or
