7.  This Agreement may be terminated by mutual written consent of both parties.

 

State may terminate this Agreement effective upon delivery of written notice to Agency, or at such later date as may be established by State, under any of the following conditions:

 

a.  If Agency fails to provide services called for by this Agreement within the time specified herein or any extension thereof.

 

b.  If Agency fails to perform any of the other provisions of this Agreement, or so fails to pursue the work as to endanger performance of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, and after receipt of written notice from State fails to correct such failures within 10 days or such longer period as State may authorize.

 

c.  If Agency fails to provide payment of its share of the cost of the Project.

 

d.  If State fails to receive funding, appropriations, limitations or other expenditure authority sufficient to allow State, in the exercise of its reasonable administrative discretion, to continue to make payments for performance of this Agreement.

 

e.  If Federal or state laws, regulations or guidelines are modified or interpreted in such a way that either the work under this Agreement is prohibited or State is prohibited from paying for such work from the planned funding source.

 

Any termination of this Agreement shall not prejudice any rights or obligations accrued to the parties prior to termination.

 

8.  Agency, as a recipient of federal funds, pursuant to this Agreement with the State, shall assume sole liability for Agency’s breach of any federal statutes, rules, program requirements and grant provisions applicable to the federal funds, and shall, upon Agency’s breach of any such conditions that requires the State to return funds to the Federal Highway Administration, hold harmless and indemnify the State for an amount equal to the funds received under this Agreement; or if legal limitations apply to the

indemnification ability of Agency, the indemnification amount shall be the maximum amount of funds available for expenditure, including any available contingency funds or other available non-appropriated funds, up to the amount received under this Agreement.

 

9.  This Agreement and attached exhibits constitute the entire agreement between the parties on the subject matter hereof. There are no understandings, agreements, or representations, oral or written, not specified herein regarding this Agreement. No waiver, consent, modification or change of terms of this Agreement shall bind either party unless in writing and signed by both parties and all necessary approvals have been obtained. Such waiver, consent, modification or change, if made, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. The failure of State to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver by State of that or any other provision.

 

10.  The Standard Provisions dated April 29, 1993, attached to the original No. 14,195 Agreement, executed April 19, 1996, shall be terminated, and the revised updated version, dated August 29, 2003, marked Attachment 2, is attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof.
