days after demand, pay to the City all taxes which otherwise would have been paid by the Owner to
the City without benefit of a tax abatement for the respective Phase comprising the Improvements,
with interest at the statutory rate for dehnquent taxes as determined by Section 33.01 of the Tax

o s159 07102
8.3 If the Owner fails to cum the default within the time provided as specified above or,
as such time period may be extended, then the City at its sole option shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement, by written notice to the Owner. Provided however, in the event of an uncured
default by Owner of the obligations under this Agreement with respect to a specific Phase
comprising the Improvements, the City at its sole option shall have the fight to terminate this
Agreement with respect to the Phase then in default without terminating this Agreement with the
respect of any Phase not then in default, by written notice to the Owner.
8.4 Upon termination of this Agreement (or partial termination with respect to a specific
Phase) by City, all tax abated with respect to the Improvements or respective Phase in default, as the
case may be, as a result of this Agreement, shall become a debt to the City as liquidated damages,
and shall become due and payable not later than thirty (30) days after a notice of termination is
made. The City shall have all remedies for the collection of the abated tax provided generally in the
Tax Code for the collection of delinquent property tax. The City at its sole discretion has the option
to provide a repayment schedule. The computation of the abated tax for the purposes of the
Agreement shall be based upon the full Taxable Value of the Improvements or the respective Phase
of the Improvements, as the case may be, without tax abatement for the years in which tax
abatement hereunder was received by the Owner, as determined by the Appraisal District,
multiplied by the tax rate of the years in question, as calculated by the City Tax Assessor-Collector.
The liquidated damages shall incur penalties as provided for delinquent taxes and shall commence
to accrue after expiration of the thirty (30) day payment period.
