5.2. Failure to Pay Town Taxes or Fees. An event of default shall occur under this
Agreement if any legally -imposed Town taxes or fees owed on, or generated by, the

diligently pursued cure of the default but such default is not reasonably curable
within thirty (30) calendar days, then such amount of time that the Town reasonably
agrees is necessary to cure such default. If the default has not been fully cured by
such time, the Town shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately by
providing written notice to Marriott and shall have all other rights and remedies that
may be available to under the law or in equity.

(following written notice from the Town) and, if Marriott fails to cure per the written
notice from the Town, Marriott shall immediately remit to the Town the entire
