Developer to complete the paving of said streets in order to
receive a certificate of occupancy, the Developer shall be released
7

and is thereby divested of all equitable and legal interest in the
Property, the City hereby agrees to release said Developer from
liability under this Agreement with respect to any breach of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement occurring after the date of
any such transfer of interest. In such event, the succeeding
property owner shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
