1. Paragraph 4. is amended to read as follows:
4. In the event that (1) the Improvements for which an
abatement has been granted are not completed in accordance with this
Agreement or (2) Owner allows its ad valorem or personal property taxes
owed the City or County to become delinquent and fails to timely and
properly follow the legal procedures for protest and /or contest of any such
ad valorem or personal property taxes; or (3) Owner breaches any of the
terms or conditions of this Agreement, then this Agreement shall be in
default. In the event that the Owner defaults in its performance of (1), (2),
or (3) above, then the City or County shall give the Owner written notice
of such default and if Owner has not cured such default within thirty (30)
days of said written notice, or, if such default cannot be cured by the
payment of money and cannot with due diligence be cured within a 90 -day
period owing to causes beyond the control of the Owner, this Agreement

notice shall be in writing and shall be delivered by personal delivery or

otherwise would have been paid to the City and County without the benefit
of abatement (without the addition of penalty, but interest will be charged
