Lessee shall pursue issuance of a building permit by the City diligently and in good faith. Lessor's remedy for this Default, and for all defaults under this Article 15 for failure to follow the time schedule under this Article related to the Proposed Improvements, shall be limited to a reversion of the duration of the Lease term to that last provided in the Prior Agreements, to a termination date of October 31, 2015, with two ten-year lease options by Lessee. In such event, all other remaining provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Lessee shall not commence construction of the Proposed Improvements unless and until (a) Lessee shall have obtained and delivered to Lessor copies of all final Permits and Approvals required to commence construction, (b) Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor original certificates of the policies of insurance required to be carried pursuant to this Lease, and (c) Lessee shall have submitted to Lessor evidence satisfactory to the City Manager that Lessee has sufficient funds and/or construction financing commitments to timely commence and complete construction as provided herein. 2. Paragraph 15.11 is amended as follows: 15.11 Commencement and Completion of Construction of the Proposed Improvements. Lessee shall at its expense (a) commence construction on or before ~ one hundred twenty (120) days after all permits and approvals necessary for the commencement of construction are issued (the "Construction Commencement Date") and (b) thereafter continue to prosecute construction of the Proposed 2 Improvements with diligence and continuity to completion.
