prior to instituting an action for breach or pursuing any other remedy for default. If the City
remains in default after notice and opportunity to cure, Flix shall have the right to pursue any
remedy at law or in equity for the City's breach. If Flix remains in default after notice and
opportunity to cure, the City's remedy shall initially be limited to suspension of the EIPs that
accrue after the date of such default until such default is cured. After any such default is cured,

cured within sixty (60) days after Flix's receipt of a second notice of default from the City that
clearly and conspicuously indicates the City's intention to terminate this Agreement, the City
may terminate this Agreement by giving Flix written notice of such termination prior to the date
Flix cures such default. In the event the City terminates this Agreement as a result of Flix's
default, the City may recapture and collect from Flix the EIP's paid a result of this Agreement
(the "Recapture Liability"). Flix shall pay to the City the Recapture Liability within thirty (30)
days after the date of termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such
Recapture Liability shall not exceed an amount equal to all EIP's which were paid pursuant to
this Agreement.

between the City and Flix to enforce provisions of this Agreement and recover damages for
breach, the prevailing party in such legal action shall be entitled to recover its reasonable
attorney's fees and expenses incurred by reason of such action, to the extent allowed by law.

withheld, conditioned or denied).
6.8 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the mutual written agreement
of the parties.
6.9 Termination. In the event Flix elects not to proceed with the Cinema/Restaurant
as contemplated by this Agreement, Flix shall notify the City in writing of such election, and this
Agreement and the obligations on the part of both parties shall thereafter be deemed terminated
and of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding the above, in the event Flix does not
substantially complete the construction of the Cinema/Restaurant and open for the business by
September 1, 2011 (subject to delays caused by an event of force majuere), the City may
terminate this Agreement by giving Flix notice thereof prior to the date the Cinema/Restaurant is
opened for business.
