8.03. Time Periods. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.
8.04. Force Majeure. If the CDC or Developer are prevented, wholly or in part,
from fulfilling their respective obligations under this Agreement, by reason of any act of
God, unavoidable accident, acts of enemies, fires, floods, governmental restraint or
regulation, war, riot, civil commotion, insurrection, inclement weather, floods, shortages
of labor or materials, strikes, other events of force majeure, or by reason of circumstances
beyond its control, then the obligations of the CDC or Developer are temporarily
suspended during continuation of the force majeure. If either party’s obligation is affected

part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a third party without prior written
approval of the CDC, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The
CDC agrees, however, that Developer may assign all or part of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement to any entity affiliated with Developer by reason of controlling,
being controlled by, or being under common control with Developer or to a third-party
lender advancing funds for the construction or operation of Restaruant. The CDC
expressly consents to any assignment described in the preceding sentence and agrees that
no further consent of the CDC to such an assignment will be required. Developer agrees
to provide the CDC with written notice of any such assignment. The foregoing
notwithstanding, any assignment of Developer’s rights under this Agreement shall not
release Developer from its obligations hereunder.
8.06. INDEMNITY. DEVELOPER COVENANTS TO FULLY INDEMNIFY,
DEFEND, SAVE, AND HOLD HARMLESS THE CITY AND THE CDC, AND THEIR
RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, AND AGENTS
FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR SUITS FOR PROPERTY
DAMAGE OR LOSS AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION DEATH, TO ANY AND ALL PERSONS, OF WHATSOEVER KIND
OR CHARACTER, WHETHER REAL OR ASSERTED (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, REASONABLE FEES AND ASSOCIATED EXPENSES OF
ATTORNEYS, EXPERT WITNESSES AND OTHER CONSULTANTS) ARISING
OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THE
NEGLIGENT OR OTHERWISE WRONGFUL ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF
DEVELOPER, ITS AGENTS, SERVANTS, CONTRACTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS,
MATERIAL MEN OR EMPLOYEES THAT RELATE IN ANY MANNER TO
DEVELOPER’S PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR TO THE DESIGN,
CONSTRUCTION OR INSTALLATION OF THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS, IF
ANY, OR ANY OTHER IMPROVEMENTS OR CONSTRUCTION RELATED TO
THE DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION INJURY OR
DAMAGE TO PUBLIC PROPERTY. THE INDEMNITY PROVIDED FOR ABOVE
SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY LIABILITY RESULTING FROM THE SOLE
NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT OF CITY, ITS OFFICERS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES OR
SEPARATE CONTRACTORS, AND IN THE EVENT OF JOINT AND
CONCURRING NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT OF CITY AND DEVELOPER,
INCENTIVE AGREEMENT FOR NEW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Page 8
RESPONSIBILITY AND INDEMNITY, IF ANY, SHALL BE APPORTIONED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT
WAIVING ANY GOVERNMENTAL IMMUNITY AVAILABLE TO CITY OR THE
CDC UNDER TEXAS LAW AND WITHOUT WAIVING ANY DEFENSES OF THE
PARTIES UNDER TEXAS LAW. DEVELOPER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS
SECTION 8.06 SHALL SURVIVE THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT.
8.07. Events of Default by Developer. In addition to other events of default by
Developer set forth in this Agreement, each of the following events constitute a default of
this Agreement by Developer:
(a) The CDC reasonably and in good faith determines that any representation
or warranty on behalf of Developer contained in this Agreement or in any
financial statement, certificate, report, or opinion submitted to the CDC
in connection with this Agreement was incorrect or misleading in any
material respect when made.
(b) Any attachment or other levy against the Development or any portion
thereof with respect to a claim, excluding mechanic’s and materialman’s
liens, remains unpaid, undischarged, or not dismissed for a period of 120
days.
(c) Developer makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
(d) Developer files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or is adjudicated
insolvent or bankrupt.
(e) If taxes owed to the City by Developer become delinquent, and Developer
fails to timely and properly follow the legal procedures for protest or
contest.
(f) Developer fails to timely, fully and completely comply with any one or
more of the material requirements, obligations, duties, terms, conditions
or warranties of this Agreement.
8.08. Notice of Default. Should the CDC determine that Developer is in default
of any provision(s) of this Agreement, the CDC shall notify Developer in writing of the
event of default, providing 30 days from the date of said written notice for Developer to
cure the event of default (the “Cure Period”).
8.09. Results of Uncured Default by Developer. If Developer does not fully cure
all defaults during an applicable Cure Period, the Developer shall no longer be entitled to
the Grant under this Agreement.
INCENTIVE AGREEMENT FOR NEW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Page 9
8.10. No Waiver. No waiver of any covenant or condition, or the breach of any
covenant or condition of this Agreement, constitutes a waiver of any subsequent breach
of the covenant or condition of this Agreement. No waiver of any covenant or condition,
or the breach of any covenant or condition of this Agreement, justifies or authorizes the
nonobservance on any other occasion of the covenant or condition or any other covenant
or condition of this Agreement. Any waiver or indulgence of Developer’s default may not
be considered an estoppel against the CDC. It is expressly understood that if at any time
Developer is in default in any of its conditions or covenants of this Agreement, the failure
on the part of the CDC to promptly avail itself of the rights and remedies that the CDC
may have, will not be considered a waiver on the part of the CDC, but the CDC may at
any time avail itself of the rights or remedies or elect to terminate this Agreement on
account of the default.
8.11. Limitation of Remedies. Developer specifically agrees that the CDC shall
not be liable to Developer for any actual or consequential damages, direct or indirect,
interest, attorney fees or related expenses, or cost of court for any act of default by the
CDC under the terms of this Agreement and that Developer’s remedies shall be strictly
limited to that of specific performance of the CDC’s obligations under this Agreement.
8.12. Notices. Any notice and/or statement required and permitted to be
delivered under this Agreement shall be deemed delivered by depositing the same in the
United States mail, certified with return receipt requested, proper postage prepaid,
addressed to the appropriate party at the following addresses, or at such other addresses
provided by the Parties in writing.
