Default and Remedies 11.6.1. The City's Rights The following are events of default by SHA under this Agreement: (a) Failure by SHA to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement within ninety (90) days of written notification from the City of SHA's breach or nonperformance of any term or condition; provided that if the breach or nonperformance cannot reasonably be cured within ninety (90) days then so long as SHA is diligently pursuing cure and such cure is completed within a reasonable period, it shall not be an event of default. (b) An event of default under any City Contribution Agreement. (c) An event of default under any Other Financing Document. Upon the occurrence of an event of default by SHA: (a) the City may cease making disbursements and providing credits, facilities, equipment and services from all City Funds under this Agreement and any City Contribution Agreement; (b) upon demand by the City, SHA shall pay the City an amount equivalent to the value of all City Funds that have been provided under this Agreement or any City Contribution Agreement; (c) the City may terminate this Agreement; and (d) the City may seek specific performance. The remedies set forth above and in the City Contribution Agreements are cumulative, not mutually exclusive, and not in substitution for any rights or remedies available at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, specific performance. The commencement of proceedings to enforce a particular remedy shall not preclude the discontinuance of the proceedings and the commencement of proceedings to enforce a different remedy. 11.6.2 SHA's Rights If the City fails to perform any material obligation under this Agreement within ninety (90) days of written notification from SHA of the City's breach or nonperformance, SHA may exercise such rights or remedies available at law or equity; provided that SHA shall not pursue any such rights or remedies if the breach or nonperformance cannot reasonably be cured within ninety (90) days and the City is diligently pursuing cure. 11.7. Non-Waiver Failure to promptly enforce compliance with any term or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver or limitation of any right or remedy under this Agreement. No waiver shall be effective unless in writing. A waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or different provision of this Agreement. 11.8. No Assignment Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither SHA nor the City shall assign any of its rights or interests or delegate any of its obligations or duties under this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other. SHA's role in the redevelopment of Holly Park, as contemplated by this Agreement, constitutes material consideration to the City, without which the City would not have authorized the funding contemplated by this Agreement. 11.9.
