This is not a case of proving innocence or guilt.  It is a contract entered into by all parties with full knowledge and their own attorneys.  The typical reason for contract invalidation is fraud either by withholding information or misrepresentation.  Since fraud is not an issue there appears to be absolutely no grounds for invalidation.  A judge cannot invalidate without reason.  The size of the exit fee has no bearing on its legal validity.  On the other hand, the ACC has plenty of reason to stand firm.

In addition, Maryland cannot afford to let this drag on.  A judge could award payment plus interest.  50 million today is not worth the same as 50 million ten years from now.  You better believe that the ACC will ask for interest.  Why wouldn't they?  The reason for the largest possible exit fee is to create the largest possible barrier against exodus.  If they cut it in half for Maryland they would be cutting in half for everyone.  Ain't happening.
