If Developer disputes any claim by University Lands of a breach or default, Developer shall notify University Lands of its dispute as soon as possible, but not later than fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of University Lands’ notice. The receipt by University Lands of such notice from Developer shall be a condition precedent to University Lands’ right to bring an action for any cause, and in the absence of such notice, no such action shall be brought by University Lands until the expiration of the thirty (30) day notice period to Developer. University Lands may remedy any type of breach or default or, at University Lands’ election, terminate this Agreement (by filing a Release of Agreement as provided in Article 7) if Developer fails to remedy such breach or default within the thirty (30) day period. In addition to any other remedies available to University Lands, University Lands may elect to remedy any breach or default with contemporaneous written notice to Developer if immediate action by University Lands would mitigate or prevent further, avoidable damages or if Developer’s breach or default involves any environmental or regulatory issues. Under those circumstances, Developer must pay all damages, costs, and expenses incurred by University Lands, including, but not limited to attorney’s fees, within ten (10) calendar days of University Lands’ presentation to Developer of receipts related to such actions. If University Lands remedies a claimed breach or default to mitigate damages or to remedy environmental or regulatory issues, Developer must pay all costs presented by University Lands, and Developer’s payment shall only be refunded if Developer prevails in its dispute of the underlying claim.
