The Developer agrees that during the period between execution of this Agreement and the Commission's issuance of the Certificate of Completion, the Developer will promptly notify the Commission of any and all changes in the ownership of shares or partnership interest, or any other act or transaction involving or resulting in any change in the ownership of such interest in the Developer or the relative distribution thereof, of which it or any of its officers have been notified or otherwise have knowledge or information, and which results in the ownership of 50% or more of all outstanding equity of the Developer by persons who are not presently shareholders, members or partners of the Developer.

If this occurs, the Developer or successor in interest shall reimburse the Commission for all costs incurred by the Commission in curing such default or breach. Such reimbursement shall be in addition to and without limitation upon any other rights or remedies to which the Commission is entitled.

Any balance remaining after such reimbursements shall be retained by the Commission as its property. F. Other Rights and Remedies of Commission, No Waiver by The Commission shall have the right to institute such actions or proceedings as it may deem desirable for effectuating the purposes of this Section X. This would include the right to execute and record or file among the public land records in the office in which the Deed is recorded a written declaration of the termination of all the right, title, and interest of the Developer, and (except for such individual parts upon which construction has been completed under the Agreement and for which a Certificate of Completion as provided in Section VI is to be delivered, and subject to such mortgage liens and leasehold interests as provided in Section X, paragraph D hereof) its successors in interest and assigns, in the Property, and the revesting of title in the Commission. Any delay by the Commission in instituting or prosecuting any such actions or proceedings or otherwise asserting its rights under this Section X shall not operate as a waiver of such rights or to deprive it of or limit such rights in any way. This provision intends that the Commission should not be constrained, so as to avoid the risk of being deprived of or limited in the exercise of the remedy provided in this paragraph because of concepts of waiver, laches, or otherwise, to exercise such remedy at a time when it may still hope otherwise to resolve the problems created by the default involved; nor shall any waiver in fact made by the Commission with respect to any specific default by the Developer under this paragraph be considered or treated as a waiver of the Commission's rights to any other defaults by the Developer under this paragraph or with respect to the particular default except to the extent specifically waived in writing. G. Enforced Delay in Performance for Causes Beyond Control of Party. For the purposes of any of the provisions of the Agreement, neither the Commission nor the Developer, as the case may be, nor any successors in interest, shall be considered in breach of or in default in its obligations with respect to the preparation of the Property for the Project, or the beginning and completion of construction, or progress in respect thereto, in the event of enforced delay in the performance of such obligations due to unforeseeable causes beyond its control and without its fault or negligence. These include, but are not limited to, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, acts of the federal government, acts of the other party, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather, or delays of subcontractors due to such causes. The purpose and intent of this provision is that in the event of the occurrence of any such enforced delay, the time or times for performance of the obligations of the Commission with respect to the preparation of the Property for development or of the Developer with respect to construction of the Project as the case may be, shall be extended for the period of the enforced delays as determined by the Commission. The party seeking the benefit of the provisions of this paragraph shall, within ten (10) days after the beginning of the enforced delay, have first notified the other party thereof in writing and of the cause or causes thereof, and shall have requested an extension for the period of the enforced delay. H. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the parties to the Agreement, whether provided by law or by the Agreement, shall be cumulative. The exercise by 14 either party of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the exercise, at the same or different times, of any other such remedies for the same default or breach or of any of its remedies for any other default or breach by the other party. No waiver made by either such party with respect to the performance, manner or time thereof, any obligation of the other party, or any condition to its own obligation under the Agreement shall be considered a waiver of any rights of the party making the waiver with respect to that particular obligation of the other party or condition to its own obligation beyond those expressly waived in writing and to the extent thereof, or a waiver of any respect in regard to any other rights of the party making the waiver or any other obligations of the other party. I. Party in Position of Surety With Respect to Obligations. The Developer, for itself, its successors and assigns, and for all other persons who are or who shall become liable upon or subject to any obligation or burden under the Agreement, whether by express or implied assumption or otherwise, hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all claims or defenses otherwise available on the ground of its or their being or having become a person in the position of a surety, whether real, personal, or otherwise or whether by agreement or operation of law, including, without limitation on the generality of the foregoing, any and all claims and defenses based upon extension of time, indulgence, or modification of terms of contract.

No member, official, or employee of the Commission shall be personally liable to the Developer, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the Commission or for any amount which may become due to the Developer or successor or assign or on any obligations under the terms of the Agreement.
