of the site. Final approved landscape plan is included with the Approved Plan and any waivers
shall be granted,
Section 12. Parking. The Developer submitted parking plan to the City as part of the Approved
Plan approval process. The Project objective is to provide a walkable urban scale, mixed use

assigns.
Section 15. Force Majeure. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, if

to the period of such delay plus thirty (30) days. In any case where work is to be paid for out of
insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or other similar such proceeds, due allowance, not to
exceed ninety (90) days in the aggregate, shall be made, both to the Party required to perform such
work and to the Party required to make such payment, for delays in the collection of such proceeds
and award.
Section 16. Legal Proceedings, Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that either Party shall institute
litigation or other legal proceedings against the other to interpret or enforce any term, provision,
warranty, covenant or condition set forth in this Agreement, the prevailing Party in such litigation
