Draft 3 Parking Garage Management and Operating Agreement
15.2. Except as otherwise set forth in the Agreement, if by reason of either party’s
violations of, or failure to comply with any governmental law, order, rule or
regulation for which it is required to comply pursuant to the terms hereof
(“Breaching Party”), the other party (“Damaged Party”) shall incur any fines,
interest or penalties payable to any government authority due to such
violation of law, then the Breaching Party shall pay the full amount of such
fines, interest and penalties to said governmental authority within the time
specified in such notice from said governmental authority. If the Damaged
Party pays any such fines, interest or penalties, the Breaching Party shall
reimburse the Damaged Party upon demand for the amount of any such
payments made with interest equal to the prime rate (posted on the date of
the breach) at JP Morgan Chase Bank or any such successor-in-interest bank
plus one (1%) percent. The obligations described in this paragraph shall be
deemed to be Expenses of the Operator or expenses of the Trust as the case
may be (unless specifically otherwise provided in the Agreement).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Agreement, following
the payment of all such fines, interest and penalties, the Breaching Party or
the Damaged Party shall have the right to avail itself, at its cost, of any right of
appeal or review permitted with respect to breach of or failure to comply with
any such order, law or regulation, and if such party ultimately prevails, any
governmental refunds shall be paid to the party who initially made the
payment. If the Damaged Party made such payment and was fully
reimbursed by the Breaching Party pursuant to the terms hereof, then the
Damaged Party shall pay over to the Breaching Party any sums refunded to
the Damaged Party by governmental authorities. The provisions of this
paragraph (2) are intended only to apply to fines, interest and penalties
payable to governmental authorities. Any other liabilities or damages
resulting from violations of laws shall be governed by the provisions of
Section 15.1. above.
15.3. The Trust shall defend, indemnify and hold the Operator harmless from and
against any and all actions, claims, judgments, fines, losses, costs, fees,
expenses, damages and liabilities of every kind (including without limitation
reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by, imposed upon, brought or asserted
against the Operator by reason of the Trust’s failure to fund the Operating
Account in amounts sufficient for the Operator to pay the Parking Tax in a
timely manner based upon the Operator’s filings with the Trust. The Trust’s
indemnification of the Operator with regard to sales tax liability on goods and
services purchased by the Operator is set forth in Section 18.4. hereof.
15.4. The Trust shall defend, indemnify and hold the Operating Party harmless from
and against any and all actions, claims, judgments, fines, losses, costs, fees,
expenses, damages and liabilities of every kind (including without limitation
reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by, imposed upon, brought or asserted
against the Operating Party arising out any ice and/or snow removal
operations by the Trust.
