1.2.1 Overview.  A minimum of three (3) development phases will be incorporated into

with the requirements of the UMA.

completed to the County’s satisfaction in accordance with Amendment Two of the 
UMA.

Delays, if not accepted by County in writing, could result in default of the UMA.

determines that the Concessionaire is not pursuing completion of Phase III, as such 
term is set forth above, in the exercise of commercial diligence in accordance with 
the stated or mutually agreed on timelines, the County shall notify the 
Concessionaire in writing of the failure to do so and the basis of the County’s 
determination set forth in reasonable detail. If Concessionaire fails to commence 
commercial diligence as required by the County within sixty (60) days after receipt 
of the notice and pursue such diligence thereafter until completion, the 
Concessionaire shall be deemed in default hereof, at the County’s written option 
delivered to Concessionaire.  If the Concessionaire is in default, County shall be 
entitled to pursue and obtain specific performance and other injunctive relief to 
compel completion of the development of Phase III as agreed or damages, except 
indirect, consequential, special, or punitive.  Concessionaire acknowledges and 
agrees that the extended time to cure and limitation of County’s remedies apply 
only to Section 1.2.4 pertaining to the commencement and completion of Phase III.
