Term and Payments. (a) In order to finance the costs of the Project, City hereby sells and conveys any interests it has in the Project to Trustee, without recourse, representation or warranty, for the sum of $10.00 and other valuable consideration had and received. For the amounts payable pursuant hereto (including the Payments), Trustee in turn hereby sells and conveys back to City, without recourse, representation or warranty, and City hereby purchases and accepts, from Trustee, any interests Trustee has in the Project. In order to evidence such sale, Trustee has executed and delivered to City a bill of sale on the date of original execution and delivery of the Obligations. (b) Trustee shall have no further obligation to provide funds for the Project, and City shall be entitled to sole and exclusive possession of the Project. (c) As the purchase price, City shall pay the Payments to Trustee on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the Schedule hereto. (The Interest Portion is interest for purposes of the Code.) This Agreement shall be deemed and construed to be a “net purchase agreement,” and the Payments shall be an absolute net return to Trustee, free and clear of any expenses or charges whatsoever, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. City shall also pay all amounts necessary for compliance with the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking. As applicable, City shall also pay all amounts necessary to fund the Reserve Fund as described herein and in the Trust Agreement. City shall further also pay to Trustee its fees and expenses in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement and to the United States of America any amounts required by Section 11(b)(ii). City shall receive a credit against amounts so due, equal to any amounts held in the Payment Fund in excess of the amount then required to be in the Payment Fund. If the balance available in the Payment Fund after a Payment is insufficient to make the next required payments of principal and interest due on the Obligations on the next date for payment thereof, City shall pay any such deficiency in sufficient time to prevent default in the payment of principal of or interest on the Obligations falling due on such date. (d) The obligation of City to pay the amounts described in paragraph (c) hereof (including the Payments) from the sources described herein and to comply with the other provisions hereof shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be subject to any defense or any right of set-off, abatement, counterclaim, or recoupment arising out of any breach by Trustee of any obligation to City or otherwise, or out of indebtedness or liability at any time owing to City by Trustee. Until such time as all of the payments described in paragraph (c) hereof (including the Payments) shall have been fully paid or provided for, City (i) shall not suspend or discontinue the same, (ii) shall comply with the other provisions hereof, and (iii) shall not terminate this Agreement for any cause, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the 3 occurrence of any acts or circumstances that may constitute failure of consideration, eviction or constructive eviction, destruction of or damage to the Project or the taking by eminent domain of title to or temporary use of any or all of the Project, commercial frustration of purpose, abandonment of the Project by City, any change in the tax or other laws of the United States of America or of the State or any political subdivision of either or any failure of Trustee to perform and observe any agreement, whether express or implied, or any duty, liability or obligation arising out of or connected with the Trust Agreement or this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to release Trustee from the performance of any of the agreements on its part herein or in the Trust Agreement contained, and, in the event Trustee shall fail to perform any such agreements on its part, City may institute such action against Trustee as City may deem necessary to compel performance so long as such action does not abrogate the obligations of City contained in the first sentence of this paragraph. (e) Any of the payments described in paragraph (c) hereof (including the Payments) due on a day which is not a Business Day may be made on the next Business Day and will be deemed to have been made on the date due. (f) Amounts payable to Trustee shall be paid by the means specified by Trustee in writing to City. Section 2. Pledge; Limited Obligations. (a) Revenues from Excise Taxes are hereby pledged by City to the payment of all amounts described in Section 1(c) hereof (including the Payments), and such amounts shall be secured by a paramount and first lien on and pledge of revenues from Excise Taxes, on parity with the pledge and lien hereby granted by City for the payment and security of the 2015 Agreement, the 2016 Refunding Agreement, the 2017 Agreement, the 2019 Agreement, the 2021 Taxable Agreement, the 2023 Agreement and any Additional Parity Obligations hereafter incurred. City shall make said payments from revenues from Excise Taxes (first making the Payments and thereafter making the other required payments). All of such payments are coequal as to the pledge of and lien on revenues from Excise Taxes pledged for the payment thereof and share ratably, without preference, priority or distinction, as to the source or method of payment from revenues from Excise Taxes or security therefor. (b) City shall remit to Trustee from revenues from Excise Taxes all amounts due under this Agreement in the amounts and at the times and for the purposes as required herein. The obligation of City to make payments of any amounts due under this Agreement, including amounts due after default or termination hereof, is limited to payment from revenues from Excise Taxes and shall under no circumstances constitute a general obligation or a pledge of the full faith and credit of City, the State or any of its political subdivisions, or require the levy of, or be payable from the proceeds of, any ad valorem property taxes. (c) City may, at the sole option of City, make payments due pursuant to Section 1 hereof from its other funds as permitted by law and as City shall determine from time to time, but Trustee acknowledges that it has no claim hereunder to such other funds. No part of the purchase price payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be payable out of any ad valorem property taxes imposed by City or from bonds or other obligations, the payment of which City’s general 4 taxing authority is pledged, unless (i) the same shall have been duly budgeted by City according to law, (ii) such payment or payments shall be within the budget limitations of the statutes of the State, and (iii) any such bonded indebtedness or other obligation is within the debt limitations of the Constitution of the State. . Revenues from Excise Taxes in excess of amounts, if any, required to be deposited with or held by Trustee for payments due under this Agreement shall constitute surplus revenues and may be used by City for any lawful purpose for the benefit of City, including the payment of obligations to which revenues from Excise Taxes may from time to time be pledged on a basis subordinate hereto. If at any time the moneys in the funds held for payment of amounts due under this Agreement are not sufficient to make the deposits and transfers required, any such deficiency shall be made up from the first moneys thereafter received and available for such transfers under the terms of this Agreement and, with respect to payment from revenues from Excise Taxes, pro rata, as applicable, with amounts due with respect to the 2015 Agreement, the 2016 Refunding Agreement, the 2017 Agreement, the 2019 Agreement, the 2021 Taxable Agreement, the 2023 Agreement, this Agreement and any Additional Parity Obligations hereafter incurred, and the transfer of any such sum or sums to said fund as may be necessary to make up any such deficiency shall be in addition to the then-current transfers required to be made pursuant hereto. Additional Parity Obligations may be incurred but only if revenues from Excise Taxes in the most recently completed Fiscal Year shall have amounted to at least three (3) times the Maximum Annual Debt Service, including the Additional Parity Obligations proposed to be incurred. The calculation of Maximum Annual Debt Service may be subject to certain adjustments as described in the Trust Agreement. . To the extent permitted by applicable law, Excise Taxes shall be retained and maintained so that revenues from Excise Taxes, all within and for the next preceding Fiscal Year, shall be equal to at least three (3) times the Maximum Annual Debt Service payable hereunder, and under any Outstanding Parity Obligations, for the current Fiscal Year. If revenues from Excise Taxes for any such Fiscal Year shall not have been equal to at least three (3) times the Maximum Annual Debt Service for the current Fiscal Year or if at any time it appears that revenues from Excise Taxes will not be sufficient to meet such requirements, City shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, impose new exactions of the type of the excise taxes which will be part of the Excise Taxes or increase the rates for the excise taxes currently imposed fully sufficient at all times, after making allowance for contingencies and errors, in each Fiscal Year in order that (i) revenues from Excise Taxes will be sufficient to meet all current requirements hereunder, and (ii) revenues from Excise Taxes will be reasonably calculated to attain the level as required by the first sentence of this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of State-shared revenues is determined by the provisions of the Arizona Revised Statutes and City has not covenanted to, and has no power to, set or maintain rates or otherwise impose taxes to increase, replace or supplement State-shared revenues to provide for the payment of the amounts due hereunder or any other Parity Obligations. . (a) Except with respect to its power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its covenants hereunder, Trustee has made and makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, and assumes no obligation with respect to the Project. Except with 5 respect to any acts by Trustee which are not undertaken at the request of City or with the prior approval of City, City waives all claims against Trustee growing out of financing the costs of the Project. Trustee is entering into this Agreement solely as Trustee, shall not be personally liable hereunder and shall be afforded the same rights, protections, immunities and indemnities acting hereunder as afforded to it as Trustee under the Trust Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at no time shall Trustee be listed in the chain of title to the Project. (b) Trustee hereby irrevocably appoints City as its sole and exclusive agent to act for and on behalf of Trustee in financing the costs of the Project. As such agent, City shall have full authority to do all things necessary to accomplish such purposes. Trustee shall not be liable, responsible or accountable for the acts of City as its agent hereunder, and City hereby assumes all responsibility for the performance of such duties. (c) City, by keeping and performing the covenants and agreements herein contained, shall at all times during the term of this Agreement, peaceably and quietly, have, hold and enjoy the Project, without suit, trouble or hindrance from Trustee. City hereby grants and conveys to Trustee, and all persons claiming by, through or under Trustee, including its successors and assigns under the Trust Agreement and the Owners for whom it acts, a nonexclusive easement upon, in and to the Project for the purpose of permitting the Project to be maintained upon the premises. (d) Notwithstanding any other terms or provisions of this Agreement, the interest of Trustee in the Project is solely in its capacity as Trustee for the purpose of facilitating the financing of the Project, and Trustee shall not have the power, authority or obligation to assume any responsibility for the Project. . City may provide for the payment of any of the Payments in any one or more of the following ways: (a) by paying such Payment as provided herein as and when the same becomes due and payable at its scheduled due date pursuant to Section 1 hereof or on a date on which it can be prepaid; (b) by depositing with a Depository Trustee, in trust for such purposes, money which, together with the amounts then on deposit with Trustee and available for such Payment is fully sufficient to make, or cause to be made, such Payment at its scheduled due date or on a date on which it can be prepaid; or (c) by depositing with a Depository Trustee, in trust for such purpose, any Defeasance Obligations which are noncallable, in such amount as shall be certified to Trustee and City, by a national firm of certified public accountants acceptable to City, as being fully sufficient, together with the interest to accrue thereon and moneys then on deposit with Trustee and available for such Payment, to make, or cause to be made, such Payment at its scheduled due date or on a date on which it can be prepaid. Upon any partial payment of a Payment resulting in a redemption of Obligations, each installment of interest which shall thereafter be payable as a part of the subsequent Payments shall be reduced, taking into account the interest rate or rates on the Obligations remaining outstanding after the 6 partial payment or redemption of Obligations from the proceeds of such payment so that the interest remaining payable as a part of the subsequent Payments shall be sufficient to pay the interest on such outstanding Obligations when due. . This Agreement shall not terminate so long as any payments are due and owing pursuant to the Obligations. Subject to Section 7 hereof, upon full payment or provision for payment and in consideration of the timely payment of all of the amounts described in Section 1(c) hereof (including the Payments) and provided that City has performed all the covenants and agreements required by City to be performed, this Agreement shall cease and expire. The obligations of City under this Agreement, including, without limitation, its obligation to pay the Payments, shall survive any action brought as provided in the next Section hereof, and City shall continue to pay the Payments and perform all other obligations provided in this Agreement; provided, however, that City shall be credited with any amount received by Trustee pursuant to actions brought under the next Section hereof. . (a) (i) Upon (A) the nonpayment of the whole or any part of any of the amounts described in Section 1(c) hereof (including the Payments) at the time when the same are to be paid as provided herein or in the Trust Agreement, (B) the violation by City of any other covenant or provision of this Agreement or the Trust Agreement, (C) the occurrence of an event of default with respect to the 2015 Agreement, the 2016 Refunding Agreement, the 2017 Agreement, the 2019 Agreement, the 2021 Taxable Agreement, the 2023 Agreement, or any Additional Parity Obligations hereafter incurred, or (D) City becomes insolvent or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature or applies for, consents to, or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee or receiver for the City or a substantial part of its property; or in the absence of such application, consent or acquiescence, a trustee or receiver is appointed for the City or a substantial part of its property; or any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement, moratorium, or any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or any dissolution or liquidation proceeding, is instituted by or against the City and, if instituted against the City, is consented to or acquiesced in by the City, and (ii) if such default has not been cured (A) in the case of nonpayment of any of t described in Subsection 1(c) hereof (including the Payments) as required hereunder or under the Trust Agreement on the due date or the nonpayment of principal of or interest on the 2015 Agreement, the 2016 Refunding Agreement, the 2017 Agreement, the 2019 Agreement, the 2021 Taxable Agreement, the 2023 Agreement or any Additional Parity Obligations hereafter incurred on their due dates, (B) in the case of the breach of any other covenant or provision of the Trust Agreement or this Agreement not cured within twenty (20) days after notice in writing from Trustee specifying such default; provided, however, that if the breach cannot be corrected within the applicable time period, the Trustee will not unreasonably withhold its consent to an extension of one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of delivery of such written notice to the City by the Trustee if corrective action is instituted by the City within the applicable period and diligently pursued until the default is corrected, and provided further that if the failure cannot be corrected within the initial one hundred eighty (180) day extension, the City may request, and the Trustee will not 7 unreasonably withhold its consent to, successive additional one hundred eighty (180) day extensions so long as the City is diligently pursuing corrective action, and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be protected in relying upon one or more certificates of a City Representative in support of any request by the City for such extension, (C) in the case of any insolvency or bankruptcy as described above not discharged or dismissed within sixty (60) days and (D) in the case of any other default under the 2015 Agreement, the 2016 Refunding Agreement, the 2017 Agreement, the 2019 Agreement, the 2021 Taxable Agreement, the 2023 Agreement or any Additional Parity Obligations hereafter incurred after any notice and passage of time provided for under the proceedings under which such obligations were issued then, (iii) subject to the limitations of the Trust Agreement, Trustee may take whatev law or in equity, including the remedy of specific performance, may appear necessary or desirable to collect the Payments and any other amounts payable by City under the Trust Agreement or this Agreement then due (but not the Payments and such other amounts accruing), or to enforce performance and observance of any pledge, obligation, agreement or covenant of City under the Trust Agreement or this Agreement, and with respect to revenues from Excise Taxes, without notice and without giving any bond or surety to City or anyone claiming under City, seek and obtain injunctive relief; provided, however, that under no circumstances may the Payments be accelerated. Each right, power and remedy of Trustee provided for in this Agreement shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy provided for herein, or, unless prohibited by the terms hereof, now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, in any jurisdiction where such rights, powers and remedies are sought to be enforced, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Trustee of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by either party of any or all of such other rights, powers or remedies. The failure to insist upon strict performance of any of the covenants or agreements herein set forth shall not be considered or taken as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of the rights of Trustee to insist upon a strict compliance by City with all the covenants and conditions hereof. City shall, upon not less than 10 days’ prior request by Trustee, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Trustee a statement in writing certifying that this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if this Agreement has been modified, that it is in full force and effect except as modified, and stating the modification), and the dates to which the amounts payable hereunder have been paid in advance, if any. (b) Trustee shall in no event be in default in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder unless and until Trustee shall have failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such default after notice by City properly specifying wherein Trustee has failed to perform any such obligation. No default by Trustee shall relieve City of its obligations to make the various payments herein required, so long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding; however, City may exercise any other remedy available at law or in equity to require Trustee to remedy such default so long as such remedy does not interfere with or endanger the payments required to be made to Trustee under the Trust Agreement. 8 Section 10. Assignment. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, City shall not assign, transfer, pledge or hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Agreement or any interest therein, and any assignment in contravention hereof shall be void. (b) Subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement, all and every part of the right, title and interest in and to this Agreement and all payments of any kind due or which become due to Trustee hereunder are sold, pledged, assigned and transferred pursuant to the Trust Agreement. . (a) (i) As described in further detail in the Tax Certificate, no direction for the making of any investment or other use of the proceeds of any of the Obligations or of the Project shall be made, permitted to be made or omitted from being made which would cause the Obligations to be “arbitrage bonds” as that term is defined in Section 148 (or any successor provision thereto) of the Code or “private activity bonds” as that term is defined in Section 141 (or any successor provision thereto) of the Code, and the requirements of such sections and related regulations of the Code shall be complied with throughout the term of the Obligations. Particularly, City shall be the owner of the Project for federal income tax purposes. City shall not enter into any management or service contract with any entity other than a governmental entity for the operation of any portion of the Project unless the management or service contract complies with the requirements of such authority as may control at the time, or any lease or other arrangement with any entity other than a governmental entity that gives such entity special legal entitlements with respect to any portion of the Project. Also, the payment of principal and interest with respect to the Obligations shall not be guaranteed (in whole or in part) by the United States or any agency or instrumentality of the United States. The proceeds of the Obligations, or amounts treated as proceeds of the Obligations, shall not be invested (directly or indirectly) in federally insured deposits or accounts, except to the extent such proceeds may be so invested for an initial temporary period until needed for the purpose for which the Obligations are being executed and delivered, may be so used in making investments in a bona fide debt service fund or may be invested in obligations issued by the United States Treasury. City shall comply with the procedures and covenants contained in any arbitrage rebate provision or separate agreement executed in connection with the execution and delivery of the Obligations (initially those in subsection (b) and the Tax Certificate) for so long as compliance is necessary in order to maintain the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the Interest Portion. In consideration of the purchase and acceptance of the Obligations by the owners from time to time thereof and of retaining such exclusion and as authorized by Title 35, Chapter 3, Article 7, Arizona Revised Statutes, as amended, City shall, and the appropriate officials of City are hereby directed, to take all action required to retain such exclusion or to refrain from taking any action prohibited by the Code which would adversely affect in any respect such exclusion. (ii) (A) City shall take all necessary and desirable steps, as determined by of City, to comply with the requirements hereunder in order to ensure that the Interest Portion is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under the Code; provided, however, compliance with any such requirement shall not be required in the event City receives a Special 9 Counsel’s Opinion that either compliance with such requirement is not required to maintain the exclusion from gross income of the Interest Portion or compliance with some other requirement will meet the requirements of the Code relating to such exclusion. In the event City receives such a Special Counsel’s Opinion, the parties agree to amend this Agreement to conform to the requirements set forth in such opinion. (B) If for any reason any requirement hereunder is not complied with, City shall take all necessary and desirable steps, as determined by City, to correct such noncompliance within a reasonable period of time after such noncompliance is discovered or should have been discovered with the exercise of reasonable diligence and City shall pay any required interest or penalty under hereinafter described Regulations Section 1.148-3(h) with respect to the Code. (iii) Written procedures have been established for City to ensure that all nonqu are remediated according to the requirements under the Code and related Regulations and to monitor the requirements of Section 148 of the Code relating to arbitrage, with which City will comply. (b) (i) Undefined terms used in this Subsection shall have the meanings given to them in the Code and the Regulations. (ii) Unless an exception is available to the satisfaction of a City Representative, w the end of each Bond Year, City shall cause the Rebate Requirement to be calculated and shall pay to the United States of America: (A) not later than 60 days after the end of the fifth Bond Year and every fifth Bond Year thereafter, an amount which, when added to the future value of all previous Rebate Payments with respect to the Obligations (determined as of such Computation Date), is equal to at least 90% of the sum of the Rebate Requirement (determined as of the last day of such Bond Year) plus the future value of all previous Rebate Payments with respect to the Obligations (determined as of the last day of such Bond Year); and (B) not later than 60 days after the retirement of the last Obligation, an amount equal to 100% of the Rebate Requirement (determined as of the date of retirement of the last Obligation). Each Rebate Payment required to be made under this Subsection shall be filed on or before the date such payment is due, with the Internal Revenue Service at the appropriate location and with required forms and other materials, currently by addressing it to IRS Service Center, Ogden, Utah 84201, and accompanying it with IRS Form 8038-T. (iii) No Nonpurpose Investment shall be acquired for an amount in excess of its No Nonpurpose Investment shall be sold or otherwise disposed of for an amount less than its fair market value. (iv) For purposes of paragraph (iii), whether a Nonpurpose Investment has been or disposed of for its fair market value shall be determined as follows: 10 (A) The fair market value of a Nonpurpose Investment generally shall be the price at which a willing purchaser would purchase the Nonpurpose Investment from a willing seller in a bona fide arm’s length transaction. Fair market value shall be determined on the date on which a contract to purchase or sell the Nonpurpose Investment becomes binding. (B) Except as provided in Subsections (v) or (vi), a Nonpurpose Investment that is not of a type traded on an established securities market, within the meaning of Code Section 1273, is rebuttably presumed to be acquired or disposed of for a price that is not equal to its fair market value. (C) If a United States Treasury obligation is acquired directly from or sold or disposed of directly to the United States Treasury, such acquisition or sale or disposition shall be treated as establishing the fair market value of the obligation. (v) The purchase price of a certificate of deposit that has a fixed interest rat schedule and a substantial penalty for early withdrawal is considered to be its fair market value if the yield on the certificate of deposit is not less than: (A) the yield on reasonably comparable direct obligations of the United States; and (B) the highest yield that is published or posted by the provider to be currently available from the provider on reasonably comparable certificates of deposit offered to the public. (vi) A guaranteed investment contract shall be considered acquired and dispose equal to its fair market value if: (A) A bona fide solicitation in writing for a specified guaranteed investment contract, including all material terms, is timely forwarded to all potential providers. The solicitation must include a statement that the submission of a bid is a representation that the potential provider did not consult with any other potential provider about its bid, that the bid was determined without regard to any other formal or informal agreement that the potential provider has with City or any other person (whether or not in connection with the Obligations), and that the bid is not being submitted solely as a courtesy to City or any other person for purposes of satisfying the requirements in the Regulations that City receive bids from at least one reasonably competitive provider and at least three providers that do not have a material financial interest in the Obligations. (B) All potential providers have an equal opportunity to bid, with no potential provider having the opportunity to review other bids before providing a bid. (C) At least three reasonably competitive providers (i.e., having an established industry reputation as a competitive provider of the type of investments being purchased) are solicited for bids. At least three bids must be received from providers that have no material financial interest in the Obligations (e.g., a lead underwriter within 15 days of the issue date of the Obligations or a financial advisor with respect to the investment) and at least one 11 of such three bids must be from a reasonably competitive provider. If City uses an agent to conduct the bidding, the agent may not bid. (D) The highest-yielding guaranteed investment contract for which a qualifying bid is made (determined net of broker’s fees) is purchased. (E) The determination of the terms of the guaranteed investment contract takes into account as a significant factor the reasonably expected deposit and drawdown schedule for the amounts to be invested. (F) The terms for the guaranteed investment contract are commercially reasonable (i.e. have a legitimate business purpose other than to increase the purchase price or reduce the yield of the guaranteed investment contract). (G) The provider of the investment contract certifies the administrative costs (as defined in Regulations Section 1.148-5(e)) that it pays (or expects to pay) to third parties in connection with the guaranteed investment contract. (H) City retains until three years after the last outstanding Obligation is retired, (1) a copy of the guaranteed investment contract, (2) a receipt or other record of the amount actually paid for the guaranteed investment contract, including any administrative costs paid by City and a copy of the provider’s certification described in (G) above, (3) the name of the person and entity submitting each bid, the time and date of the bid, and the bid results and (4) the bid solicitation form and, if the terms of the guaranteed investment contract deviate from the bid solicitation form or a submitted bid is modified, a brief statement explaining the deviation and stating the purpose of the deviation. (vii) Such experts and consultants shall be employed by City to make, as necessary in respect of rebates to be made to the United States of America in accordance with Section 148(f) of the Code with respect to the Obligations. (c) City shall comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking, provided that such costs of compliance shall be payable solely from revenues from Excise Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, failure of City to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking shall not be considered an event of default; however, Trustee may (and, at the request of the original purchaser of the Obligations or the owners of at least 25% aggregate principal amount in outstanding Obligations and receipt of indemnity to its satisfaction, shall) take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking specific performance by court order, to cause City to comply with its obligations under the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking. (d) Trustee has no duty or obligations under this Section 11 and has no duty to monitor compliance by City with this Section 11. 12 . (a) To the extent applicable by provision of law, Trustee acknowledges that this Agreement is subject to cancellation pursuant to Section 38-511, Arizona Revised Statutes, as amended, the provisions of which are incorporated herein and which provides that City may within three (3) years after its execution cancel any contract (including this Agreement) without penalty or further obligation made by City if any person significantly involved in initiating, negotiating, securing, drafting or creating the contract on behalf of City is at any time while the contract or any extension of the contract is in effect, an employee or agent of any other party to the contract in any capacity or a consultant to any other party to the contract with respect to the subject matter of the contract. The cancellation shall be effective when written notice is received by all other parties to the contract unless the notice specifies a later time. Trustee covenants not to employ as an employee, an agent or, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, a consultant, any person significantly involved in initiating, negotiating, securing, drafting or creating this Agreement on behalf of City within three years from the execution of this Agreement, unless a waiver of Section 38-511, Arizona Revised Statutes, as amended, is provided by City. No basis exists for City to cancel this Agreement pursuant to Section 38-511, Arizona Revised Statutes, as amended, as of the date hereof. (b) To the extent applicable under Section 41-4401, Arizona Revised Statutes, as amended, Trustee shall comply with all federal immigration laws and regulations that relate to its employees and its compliance with the “e-verify” requirements under Section 23-214(A), Arizona Revised Statutes, as amended. The breach by Trustee of the foregoing shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement and may result in the termination of the services of Trustee by City. City retains the legal right to randomly inspect the papers and records of Trustee to ensure that Trustee is complying with the above-mentioned warranty.
