ARTICLE VIII
REMEDIES
8.1 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the City shall have the absolute right
to refuse to disburse any undisbursed portion of the Loan.
The City shall provide written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default to the Project
Sponsor, after which the Project Sponsor shall have thirty (30) days to cure said default (except
for the events described in Section 7.1 (b) and (d) above for which the aforementioned cure period
shall not apply).
In the event a default which is permitted to be cured cannot practicably be cured within
thirty (30) days, the Project Sponsor shall have such additional time as may be required to effect a
cure, so long as (a) the cure is commenced within thirty (30) days and is diligently prosecuted and
(b) the lack of a cure during such continuing cure period has no material adverse effect on the
Project. The City agrees to accept a cure of any default committed by the Project Sponsor, which cure
is tendered or effected by any lender under the Permitted Senior Financing, as if such sure had been
tendered or effected by the Project Sponsor.
If an Event of Default shall continue uncured for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days
following written notice thereof to the Project Sponsor (except for the events described in Section
7.1 (b) and (d) above for which the aforementioned cure period shall not apply and except for cures
which are continuing as provided in the preceding paragraph), and subject to the provisions of the
last paragraph of this Section, the City shall have the absolute right, at its option and election and
in its sole discretion to:
(a) Specific Performance. Institute appropriate proceedings to specifically
enforce performance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

the City for the CDBG Funds disbursed to the Project Sponsor pursuant to
this Agreement. The Project Sponsor shall reimburse City in the amount of
the CDBG Funds disbursed to the Project Sponsor pursuant to this
Agreement, subject to any limitations contained in the CDBG Note and/or
Page 31 of 41
Mortgage concerning Borrower's or Project Sponsor's liability for amounts
due under the CDBG Loan Documents.
(c) Other Remedies. Exercise any other right, privilege or remedy available to
the City as may be provided by applicable law, or in any of the other CDBG
Documents.
It is understood and agreed that the occurrence of an event of default under Section 7.1 (b)
or (d) shall immediately entitle the City to exercise any of the above described remedies without
the need to give the Project Sponsor notice thereof or the opportunity to cure.
The rights and remedies of the City hereunder shall be cumulative and not mutually
exclusive, and the City may resort to any one or more or all of said remedies without exclusion of
any other. No party other than the City, whether the Project Sponsor or a material man, laborer,
subcontractor or supplier, shall have any interest in the CDBG Funds withheld because of a default
hereunder, and shall not have any right to garnish or require or compel that payment thereof be
applied toward the discharge or satisfaction of any claim or lien which any of them may have.

above, which default relates to the Permitted Senior Financing, but does not otherwise constitute
a default under the Loan Documents, such Event of Default shall be waived by the City in the
event that the senior lender waives such default under the Permitted Senior Financing, but only
upon submission to the City of such waiver by senior lender.
8.2 In addition to any other remedies provided for herein or in any of the other Loan
Documents, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

by law from the date of disbursement, without notice to the Project Sponsor or any
guarantor or endorser of the Note and without any affirmative action or declaration
on the part of the City;

the Affordability Period; and

determined by the City, will be debarred from receiving any City funding for a
period of five (5) years.

the term of this Agreement. In the event that any action or proceeding is brought against the City
by reason of any such claim or demand, the Project Sponsor shall, upon written notice from the
City, resist and defend such action or proceeding by counsel satisfactory to the City. The Project
Sponsor expressly understands and agrees that any insurance protection required by this

instrumentalities as herein provided.

expense, to and through appellate, supplemental or bankruptcy proceeding, or to provide for such

or persons employed or utilized by Project Sponsor.

actions. In reviewing, approving or rejecting any submissions by the Project Sponsor or other acts
of the Project Sponsor, the City in no way assumes or shares any responsibility or liability of the
