obligations to the extent that they relate to such part; (ii) any proposed transferee, by

instrument in writing satisfactory to the City and in form recordable among the land records,

transferee or successor from such obligations, conditions, or restrictions, or deprive or limit

otherwise in the Agreement no transfer of, or change with respect to, ownership in the
Development or any part thereof, or any interest therein, however consummated or occurring,

HRA or the City, of any rights or remedies or controls provided in or resulting from this
Agreement with respect to the Development and the construction of the Improvements that
the HRA and the City would have had, had there been no such transfer or change; and(iii)

involved in effecting transfers described herein, and if approved by the City, their approval
shall be indicated to the Developer in writing.

transfer or approval by the City thereof shall be deemed to relieve the Developer from any of
its obligations with respect thereto.
Section 5.4 Approvals. Any approval required to be given by the City under this
Article V may be denied only in the event that the City reasonably determines that the ability
of the Developer to perform its obligations under this Agreement will be materially impaired

Development Property or the Improvements thereon, or on the Developer's interest in the
Ground Lease, or any portion thereof, or accept a deed to such property in lieu of foreclosure,
it shall consent to be bound by the provisions of Section 2.1(f) of this Agreement.

construction of the Development, the City agrees that it shall agree to any reasonable
modification of this Article V or waiver of its rights hereunder to accommodate the interests

for such rent and upon such terms as Landlord deems advisable and may make
any changes, additions, improvements, redecorations and repairs to the
Development as Landlord deems advisable without affecting Tenant's liability

(1) all unpaid Rent owing at the time of termination or repossession, as the
case may be,
(2) all expenses (together with interest thereon at a rate of twelve percent
(12%) per annum from the date paid by Landlord) incurred by Landlord in
terminating, repossessing and reletting including but not limited to costs of
changes, additions, improvements, redecorations and repairs, brokerage and
legal fees, and the collection of Rent, and

agreement of Tenant contained in this Lease. Landlord shall indemnify Tenant against all
costs and charges (including legal fees) lawfully and reasonably incurred in enforcing any
covenant, proviso or agreement of Landlord contained in this Lease.
9.7 Waiver of Default. No failure or delay by Landlord or Tenant to insist on strict
performance of any term of this Lease or to exercise any right, power, or remedy upon a
breach of this Lease shall constitute a waiver of such term or such breach.
