ARTICLE V
DEVELOPER'S ACCEPTANCE OF DEVELOPMENT SITE
5.1 Condition of Development Site. The City has provided the Developer with
copies of all environmental studies that were performed on the Development Site, and the
findings that were made therefrom. Having reviewed the findings that were made in those
studies, the Developer has agreed to accept the Development Site in its present condition,
with all existing defects and deficiencies, including defects and deficiencies relating to
environmental matters. The conveyance of Tracts 1 and 3 to the Developer, as provided
under this Agreement, shall contain a warranty of good title, and a general disclaimer of all
warranties regarding the condition, suitability and legal compliance of the properties being
conveyed.
5.2 Resubdivision Plat. The City shall, at its sole cost, cause a resubdivision plat
to be made of the Development Site that depicts a metes and bounds description of Tracts 1
through 3, and the boundary lines that separate those tracts. The City shall provide the
Developer with a copy of the resubdivision plat for its approval and acceptance. Upon
receipt of the Developer's written approval, the City shall file a copy of the original
subdivision plat with the McCracken County Clerk's office, and pay all filing fees related
thereto. All conveyances made on Tracts 1 and 3 shall reference the resubdivision plat, and
the depictions of the tracts that are provided therein.
5.3. Remediation of Development Site. The Developer shall assume sole liability
for remedying the environmental defects and deficiencies that are noted in the environmental
studies, and paying the costs relating thereto. The Developer shall perform all remediation
work that may be required by any applicable federal, state and local environmental law in
accordance with the procedures and standards that are contained under those laws. Upon
14
request, the Developer shall provide the City with copies of any and all documentation that
relate to the remedial work, and any governmental approvals and permits that were issued
thereon.
5.4. Reimbursement of Remediation Costs. Should the Developer be required to
perform any remediation work on the Development Site, the City shall reimburse the
Developer the actual costs of the remediation as provided under Article VI of this
Agreement, up to the equivalent of the purchase price of Tracts 1 and 3. Should the cost of
additional remediation exceed this amount, the City and the Developer shall work
collaboratively to identify additional sources of funds to be used for remediation. However,
should the additional cost of remediation exceed such available funds, neither party shall be
bound to the conveyance of the property.
ARTICLE VI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
6.1 Right of Specific Performance. Each party shall have the right to enforce the
terms and provisions of this Agreement, and to obtain the benefits that were accorded to
them under this Agreement. In the event a party should fail to faithfully perform any of the
covenants, obligations or undertakings that are imposed under this Agreement, or contest any
of the understandings that are made under this Agreement, the other party shall have all
rights and remedies as provided by law, specifically including the right to obtain specific
performance and injunctive relief, and the right to recover any losses, damages, costs and
expenses that are incurred by the party as a result of the defaulting party's breach, including
their reasonable attorney fees; excepting however, any consequential or incidental damages
that a party may incur, all of which are expressly excluded from recovery. Should the
Developer fail to construct the Phase I Facilities or the Phase II Facilities after receiving fee
title to the tract upon which the Facilities are to be constructed, the City shall have the right
to make immediate demand on the payment of the final deferred purchase price that is
appliable to that tract, and to collect and recover that amount from the Developer, plus
interest at the legal rate of 8% from and after the date of the City's demand.
6.2 Resolution of Disputes. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the state of Kentucky. In the event of any dispute regarding the
interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, the parties shall attempt to resolve the
dispute by negotiation. If the dispute cannot be resolved by negotiation, the parties shall
submit the dispute for administered mediation, which shall take place in Paducah, Kentucky.
All unresolved disputes shall be submitted to McCracken Circuit Court, which court shall
15
have exclusive jurisdiction over the dispute. Each party irrevocably attorns to the
jurisdiction of that court, and waives all rights to protest that jurisdiction. Each party also
waives their right to a jury trial. In any action seeking enforcement of this Agreement, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover the costs and expenses that they incurred in such
action, including their reasonable attorneys' fees.
6.3 Waivers. The waiver by a party of any default or breach of this Agreement
shall not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach. Each party shall
have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement in strict accordance with the terms
hereof, notwithstanding any prior conduct or custom. The failure of a party to enforce its
rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as having created a custom that is
contrary to specific provisions of this Agreement, or as having in any way or manner
modified or waived such provisions. All rights and remedies of the parties shall be
cumulative, and the exercise of one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release
of any other right or remedy.

herein) by first class mail, postage prepaid, or personally delivered. Any marked notice shall
