terminating party not later than 30 calendar days before the end of that fiscal year. In that event, the

services actually and satisfactorily performed up to the effective date of that termination, and the
Contractor shall be responsible to provide such services up to that date, and the parties shall have no
other obligations or liabilities resulting from that termination.
Notwithstanding subparagraph A above, this contract may also be terminated as follows:
B. Termination for Convenience. The State may terminate this contract at any time the State
determines that the purposes of the distribution of moneys under the contract would no longer be
served by completion of the project. The State shall effect such termination by giving written notice
of termination to the Local Agency and specifying the effective date thereof, at least twenty (20) days
before the effective date of such termination.
C. Termination for Cause. If, through any cause, the Local Agency shall fail to fulfill, in a timely
and proper manner, its obligations under this contract, or if the Local Agency shall violate any of the
covenants, agreements, or stipulations of this contract, the State shall thereupon have the right to
terminate this contract for cause by giving whtten notice to the Local Agency of its intent to
terminate and at least ten (10) days opportunity to cure the default or show cause why termination is
otherwise not appropriate. In the event of termination, all finished or unfinished documents, data,
studies, surveys, drawings, maps, models, photographs and reports or other material prepared by the
Local Agency under this contract shall, at the option of the State, become its property, and the Local
Agency shall be entitled to receive just and equitable compensation for any services and supplies
Page 5 of 12
delivered and accepted. The Local Agency shall be obligated to return any payments advanced under
the provisions of this contract.
Notwithstanding the above, the Local Agency shall not be relieved of liability to the State for any
damages sustained by the State by virtue of any breach of the contract by the Local Agency, and the
State may withhold payment to the Local Agency for the purposes of mitigating its damages until
such time as the exact amount of damages due to the State fi.om the Local Agency is determined.
If after such termination it is determined, for any reason, that the Local Agency was not in default or
that the Local Agency's action/inaction was excusable, such termination shall be treated as a
termination for convenience, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the
contract had been terminated for convenience, as described herein.
D. Termination Due to Loss of Funding. The parties hereto expressly recognize that the Local
Agency is to be paid, reimbursed, or otherwise compensated with federal and/or State funds which
are available to the State for the purposes of contracting for the Project provided for herein, and
therefore, the Local Agency expressly understands and agrees that all its rights, demands and claims
to compensation arising under this contract are contingent upon availability of such funds to the
State. In the event that such funds or any part thereof are not available to the State, the State may
immediately terminate or amend this contract.
