ARTICLE VI
DEFAULT, REMEDIES; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.01 General Remedies of Village and Redeveloper.

Subject to the further provisions of this Article VI, in the event of any failure to perform or breach of this Redevelopment Contract or any of its terms or conditions, by any party hereto or any successor to such party, such party, or successor, shall, upon written notice from the other, proceed immediately to commence such actions as may be reasonably designed to cure or remedy such failure to perform or breach which cure or remedy shall be accomplished within a reasonable time by the diligent pursuit of corrective action. In case such action is not taken, or diligently pursued, or the failure to perform or breach shall not be cured or remedied within a reasonable time, this Redevelopment Contract shall be in default and the aggrieved party may institute such proceedings as may be necessary or desirable to enforce its rights under this Redevelopment Contract, including, but not limited to, proceedings to compel specific performance by the party failing to perform or in breach of its obligations.

Section 6.02 Additional Remedies of Village.

In the event that:

(a) The Redeveloper, or successor in interest, fails to commence construction of the Project (which, for purposes of this paragraph shall mean expenditure (or binding commitments to incur expenditures) of an amount equal to at least ten percent (10%) of the total projected cost of the Project) by July 1, 2006;

(b) The Redeveloper, or successor in interest, shall fail to complete the construction of the Project on or before January 1, 2008, or shall abandon construction work for any period of 90 days;

(c) The Redeveloper, or successor in interest, shall fail to pay real estate taxes or assessments on the Redevelopment Area or any part thereof or payments in lieu of taxes pursuant to Section 4.07 when due; or

(d) There is, in violation of Section 4.08 of this Redevelopment Contract, and such failure or action by the Redeveloper has not been cured within 30 days following written notice from Village, 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 Village 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 Village within 30 days of demand from Village.

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 Village 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 or payments in lieu of taxes 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 Village 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 rive rise to a right or rescission or 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 Village 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 Village 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 thereof in writing, and of the cause or causes thereof and requested an extension for the period of the forced delay.

Section 6.05 Limitation of Liability: Indemnification.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI or this Redevelopment Contract to the contrary, neither the Village, nor their officers, directors, employees, agents or their governing bodies shall have any pecuniary obligation or monetary liability under this Redevelopment Contract. The sole obligation of the Village 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 Village on any TIF Indebtedness shall be limited solely to the TIF Revenues pledged as security for such TIF Indebtedness. Specifically, but without limitation, Village shall not be liable for any costs, liabilities, actions, demands, or damages for failure of any representations, warranties or obligations hereunder. The Redeveloper releases the Village from, agrees that the Village shall not be liable for, and agrees to indemnify and hold the Village 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 Village 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 or not related to the Project, or resulting from or in any way connected with specified events, including the management of the Project, or in any way related to the enforcement of this Redevelopment Contract or any other cause pertaining to the Project.
