Failure by the Applicant to comply with the terms of this agreement shall not be cause for the ' suspension of all obligations of the State hereunder if, in the judgement of the State , such failure was due to no fault of the Applicant . In such case , any amount required to settle at minimum costs any irrevocable obligations properly incurred shall be eligible for assistance under this agreement . . D . The Applicant agrees that the benefit to be derived by the State and the United States from the full compliance by the Applicant with the terms of this agreement is the preservation , protection , and the net increase in the quality of public outdoor recreation facilities and resources available to the people of the State of North Carolina and of the United States , and that such benefit exceeds to an immeasurable and unascertainable extent the amount Page - 8 - of money furnished by the United States by way of assistance under the terms of this agreement . The Applicant furthermore agrees that payment by the applicant to the State and the United States of an amount equal to the amount of assistance extended under this agreement would be inadequate compensation to the State and the United States for any breach by the applicant of this agreement .
