24.
Plaintiff repeats the allegations contained in the foregoing paragraphs and
incorporates those allegations herein by reference.
25.
Plaintiff and Defendant entered into the 1997 Agreement in consideration of the
mutual undertakings set forth therein.
26.
Shipyard has failed to provide the Tennis Pavilion, Tennis Courts, Parking Spaces
and Public Access Improvements in strict accordance with the Architectural Plans.
4
27.
Shipyard's failure to provide the Tennis Pavilion, Tennis Courts, Parking Spaces

the public of recreational opportunities and waterfront access, to the detriment of the public
health and welfare in Hoboken.
28.
Shipyard intends to develop the property referred to as Development Block G in a
manner which is inconsistent with and contrary to the 1997 Agreement.
29.
As a result of Shipyard's failure to provide the Tennis Pavilion, Tennis Courts,
Parking Spaces and Public Access Improvements in strict accordance with the Architectural
Plans, Hoboken has lost tax revenue which otherwise would have been generated by these
improvements and as a result of their construction.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendant:

B. Interlocutorily enjoining Defendant from conducting any development or improvements

SECOND COUNT
DECLARATORY JUDGMENT UPHOLDING THE 1997 AGREEMENT

commercial retail (63,200 square feet) and parking (approximately 1,460 spaces) components of
the Project; however, Defendant has unilaterally abandoned other significant components of the
Project under the 1997 Agreement which would inure to the public benefit.
32.
A declaratory judgment pursuant to the uniform declaratory judgments law,

respective rights and obligations of Plaintiff and Defendant under the 1997 Agreement.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendant:
A. Declaring and finding the 1997 Agreement to be in full force and effect;
B. Declaring and finding that Defendant remains obligated under the 1997 Agreement to
