For each full year that the Company, <br /> and/or its successors and assigns, cease operations at the Project Location, the <br /> City shall receive back 10% of the foregoing amounts. <br /> 14. Subordination. The City's obligations pursuant to this Agreement are <br /> subordinate to the City's obligations for the repayment of any current or future <br /> bonded indebtedness and are contingent upon the existence of a surplus in sales <br /> and use tax revenues in excess of the sales and use tax revenues necessary to <br /> meet such existing or future bond indebtedness. The City shall meet its <br /> obligations under this Agreement only after the City has satisfied all other <br /> obligations with respect to the use of sales tax revenues for bond repayment <br /> purposes. For the purposes of this Agreement, the terms "bonded <br /> indebtedness," "bonds," and similar terms describing the possible forms of <br /> indebtedness include all forms of indebtedness that may be incurred by the City, <br /> including, but not limited to, general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, revenue <br /> anticipation notes, tax increment notes, tax increment bonds, and all other forms <br /> of contractual indebtedness of whatsoever nature that is in any way secured or <br /> collateralized by sales and use tax revenues of the City. <br /> 15. Annual Appropriation. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be <br /> deemed or construed as creating any multiple-fiscal year direct or indirect debt or <br /> financial obligation on the part of the City within the meaning of Colorado <br /> Constitution Article X, Section 20 or any other constitutional or statutory <br /> provision, and the City's obligations hereunder are expressly conditional upon <br /> annual appropriation by the City Council, in its sole discretion. The Company <br /> understands and agrees that the Company shall have no recourse regarding any <br /> decision of the City Council to not appropriate funds for payment and any such <br /> decision shall be without penalty or liability to the City. However, the Company <br /> also understands that if the City Council decides not to appropriate funds for <br /> payment in any year, such a decision shall not operate to prevent appropriation <br /> of funds in an ensuing fiscal year for payment, whether for the prior or then- <br /> current fiscal year or both. <br /> 16. Governing Law: Venue. This Agreement shall be governed and construed <br /> in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado. This Agreement shall be <br /> subject to, and construed in strict accordance with, the Louisville City Charter <br /> and the Louisville Municipal Code.

In the event such dispute is not fully resolved <br /> by mediation or otherwise within 60 days a request for mediation by either party, <br /> then either party, as their exclusive remedy, may commence binding arbitration <br /> regarding the dispute through Judicial Arbiter Group.
