(iv) TMS shall provide invoices to the City for expenses incurred for the

(v) Any payments to TMS as set forth in this Agreement are limited to the

the City for any costs not distributed by the EDT from the Fund established for the

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, City may withhold all
distribution of payments to TMS under this section if TMS has any outstanding
obligations owed to the City pursuant to any contract with the City. If the City
withholds any funds for this reason,then the City shall provide a written statement
to TMS, detailing the outstanding obligations. TMS shall have thirty(30)calendar
days from the date it receives City's written statement to cure any such outstanding
obligations ("Cure Period"). The Cure Period can be extended by written
agreement of the City and TMS. Notice shall be as prescribed in Section 12. If TMS
cures its outstanding obligations within the Cure Period, then the City will make
distributions from the Total Fund Amount in accordance with the procedures set
forth in in this Section, which procedures will begin anew on the date TMS cures
its outstanding obligations to the City. If TMS fails to cure its obligations within
the Cure Period,then the City has the absolute right to offset any amount owed to
the City by TMS against the Total Fund Amount and take immediate possession of
such funds to satisfy all outstanding obligations. The City and TMS acknowledge
that any such offset shall not be construed as a distribution of Funds under this
Agreement, but as payment by TMS of funds owed to the City for application
toward any outstanding obligations owed to the City. If the City exercises its right
of offset, then TMS hereby waives it right to receive any reimbursement or
distribution from the Total Fund Amount under this Agreement that is subject to
the offset amount. To the extent that any funds remain from the Total Fund Amount
after the City applies the above-stated offset,then the City will distribute such funds
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If the offset is not sufficient to
discharge all of TMS's outstanding obligations to the City, TMS will continue to
be obligated to pay the City all amounts remaining after application of the offset,

City of Fort Worth,NASCAR,and Texas Motor Speedway,LLC. 5 of 12
and the City will retain all legal rights and remedies available to it to collect such
amounts.
6. COMMITMENT OF TMS.
Not later than five (5) business days after moneys in the Fund have been distributed in
accordance with Section 5 above,TMS will pay the City the following: (1) an amount equal to the
City Remittance and(2) an amount equal to the actual costs incurred by the City for the pre-Event
and post-Event economic impact studies.
7. DOCUMENTATION.
(a) TMS shall cooperate with the City in documenting costs incurred by TMS for the
Event to evidence the Permissible Uses.
(b) TMS hereby certifies and warrants that all documentation submitted to the City
fully and accurately represents the actual costs incurred by TMS in hosting the Event and is
consistent with the Permissible Uses under the Act. TMS shall be liable to the City for any
damages resulting from a breach of this section. This section shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement.
8. NON-EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES.
Except as otherwise provided herein, no remedy herein conferred or reserved is intended
to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, and each and every such remedy shall
be cumulative and shall be in addition to every such remedy given under this Agreement or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. It is expressly agreed that the remedy at law
for breach by a party of its obligations hereunder may be inadequate in view of the complexities
and uncertainties in measuring the actual damages which would be sustained by reason of either
party's failure to comply fully with each of such obligations. Accordingly,the obligations of each
party hereunder are expressly made enforceable by specific performance. If it becomes necessary
for any party to this Agreement to bring suit to enforce or interpret the provisions hereof, the
prevailing party to such suit shall be entitled to its reasonable and necessary attorney's fees and
costs.
9. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE.
The City may terminate this Agreement if TMS fails to comply with any term, provision,
or covenant of this Agreement in any material respect. If an event of default occurs, City shall
give written notice that describes the default in reasonable detail to TMS. TMS must cure such
default within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving notice from City, unless otherwise agreed
to in writing by the parties. If the Event is cancelled for any reason, then this Agreement will
terminate immediately and the City shall not be held responsible or liable for its obligations
hereunder.
