12.1 The Agreement is subject to cancellation pursuant to the provisions of A.R.S. § 
38-511, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by this reference.

of days remaining in the final month of occupancy. EVIT shall refund 
the prorated amount to County within thirty (30) days after termination. 
7. 
Section 13 of the Agreement is numbered incorrectly. The numbering sequence only, not 
the provisions, will be corrected in its entirety and replaced with the following: 
13. Default. 
13.1 Each of the terms in this Agreement is considered material and failure to 
perform any of them shall constitute a breach of this Agreement. Either Party 
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if the other Party does not, 
within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written notice thereof, cure any terms in 
default.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the nature of the breach cannot be 
cured within said thirty (30) day period, the noticing Party shall not have the 
right to terminate this Agreement if the other Party commences the cure within 
the thirty (30) period and pursues the cure to completion within thirty (30) days 
or such time period as agreed to by the Parties.  
13.2 Neither Party shall be considered to be in default in the performance of any of 
the obligations hereunder, other than obligations to either Party to pay costs and 
expenses, if failure of performance shall be due to an uncontrollable force. The 
term “uncontrollable force” shall mean any cause beyond the control of the 
Party affected, including but not limited to failure of facilities, flood, 
earthquake, tornado, storm, fire, lightning, epidemic, war, riot, civil disturbance 
or disobedience, labor dispute, and action or non-action by or failure to obtain 
the necessary authorizations or approvals from any governmental agency or 
authority or the electorate, labor or material shortage, sabotage and restraint by 
court order or public authority, which by exercise of due diligence it shall be 
unable to overcome. Nothing contained herein shall be construed so as to 
require either Party to settle any strike of labor dispute in which it may be 
involved. Either Party rendered unable to fulfill an obligation by reason of an 
uncontrollable force shall exercise due diligence to remove such inability with 
all reasonable dispatch.  If either Party claims its failure to perform was due to 
an uncontrollable force, that Party shall bear the burden of proof that such 
activity was within the meaning and intent of this section, if such claim is 
disputed by either Party. 
8. 
Section 14 of the Agreement is numbered incorrectly. The numbering sequence only, not 
the provisions, will be corrected in its entirety and replaced with the following: 
14. Disputes. 
14.1 The Parties shall confer within thirty (30) days of receipt of a notice of dispute 
to resolve the dispute and/or decide, within ten (10) days after conferring on a 
mutually acceptable arbiter. If a mutually acceptable arbiter cannot be agreed 
upon within thirty (30) days after conferring, the Parties agree that each Party

shall name one (1) arbiter and those two (2) arbiters shall select a third arbiter.  
Any decisions made shall be made by a majority of the panel of three arbiters. 
14.2  If any Party decides to proceed to arbitration in lieu of terminating this 
Agreement, arbitration shall be binding. The cost of any arbitration shall be 
shared equally by the Parties.
