Termination by Owner for Cause.

17.1.1 Owner may terminate the Work and this Contract after the occurrence of one or more of the following events of default and if, following a written notice from Owner to cure such event of default, said event of default continues to exist for ten (10) Business Days after (a) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event involving Contractor; (b) any representation or warranty of Contractor shall prove to be materially false or misleading; (c) Contractor Abandons the Work; or (d) Contractor defaults in its performance under a material provision of this Contract; provided, however, that Owner may not terminate this Contract if, after notice of such default and prior to expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period set forth above, Contractor has commenced and is diligently pursuing efforts to cure such breach and such extended cure period does not extend longer than sixty (60) Days or such longer period as the Parties may agree.

17.1.2 In the event of termination as provided in Section 17.1.1, Owner shall compensate Contractor for all Work properly achieved as of termination, but Owner shall not compensate Contractor for any other costs associated with the termination of the Work. Upon termination and such payment, Contractor shall deliver to Owner possession of the Work in its then condition, including all Documents, Materials and construction supplies dedicated solely to construction of the Facility.

17.1.3 Upon termination of this Contract pursuant to this Section 17.1, Owner may continue and complete the Work or any part thereof, by contract or otherwise.

The remedies in this Section shall be inclusive and additional to any other remedies that may be available under applicable Law, and no action by Owner shall constitute a waiver of any such right or remedy.

17.1.4 In the event of termination as provided above, Owner shall have the right, at its sole option, to assume and become liable for any reasonable written obligations and commitments that Contractor may have in good faith undertaken with third parties in connection with the Work, which obligations and commitments are by Law or by their terms assumable by Owner and are not covered by the payments made to Contractor under Section 17.1.2. If Owner elects to assume any obligation of Contractor as described in this Section, then as a condition precedent to Owner’s compliance with any subsection of this ARTICLE 17, Contractor shall execute all papers and take all other reasonable steps requested by Owner that may be required to vest in Owner all rights,

set-offs, benefits and titles necessary to such assumption by Owner of such obligations. Owner agrees to indemnify and hold Contractor harmless against any Liability under any obligations assumed by Owner pursuant hereto.

17.2

Termination by Contractor for Cause.

(a) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event involving Owner; or

(b) Owner defaults in its performance under a material provision of this Contract, including the obligation to make any payment hereunder; provided, however, that Contractor may not terminate this Contract if, for all cases except for the obligation to make or complete any payment, after notice of such default and prior to expiration of the twenty (20) Day period set forth above, Owner has commenced and is diligently pursuing efforts to cure such breach and such extended cure period does not extend longer than sixty (60) Days (or such other time period as reasonably agreed to by the Parties).

(c) In the event of termination as provided in Section 17.2.1, Owner shall pay to Contractor all compensation earned in accordance with Exhibit C associated with all Work properly achieved up to the date of Owner’s receipt of notice of termination, plus any costs reasonably incurred by Contractor in terminating the Work, including cancellation charges owed to third parties.

Due to Owner’s Convenience.

attributable to and incurred in terminating the Work, including commercially reasonable cancellation charges.

Nothing in this Section shall relieve or excuse either Party from its other obligations under this Contract.

17.5

Exclusive Remedy.

Owner’s payment to Contractor of all amounts owing pursuant to the Sections of this ARTICLE 17, as applicable, shall be Contractor’s exclusive remedy against Owner in the event of any termination.

17.6

Actions Required Following Termination.

Upon early termination of the Work, each Party shall be immediately released from any and all obligations to the other Party (except for the obligation of each Party to pay any amount then accrued or due hereunder, or otherwise due under this Contract), Contractor immediately shall discontinue the Work and remove its personnel and construction equipment from the Site, and except for termination due to Owner’s default, Owner shall be entitled to take exclusive possession of the Materials and all or any part of the Materials delivered or en route to the Site, to the extent that Owner has paid Contractor all undisputed amounts hereunder then due and payable from Owner to Contractor. Contractor shall immediately take such steps as are reasonably necessary to preserve and protect Work completed and in progress.

17.7

Termination and Transfer of Subcontracts and Other Rights.

Upon the early termination of the Work pursuant to this ARTICLE 17, if requested by Owner, Contractor shall make reasonable efforts to cancel existing agreements with Subcontractors performing Work at the Site.

All deliveries hereunder shall be made free and clear of any liens, security interests or encumbrances, except as may arise hereunder, be created by Owner or may arise in favor of Contractor due to non-payment by Owner. Except as provided herein, no action taken by Owner or Contractor after the termination of the Work and/or this Contract shall prejudice any other rights or remedies of Owner or Contractor provided by Law, this Contract or otherwise upon such termination.

17.8

Surviving Obligations.

Termination or expiration of this Contract shall not relieve either Party of any obligations hereunder which expressly or by implication survive termination hereof. All representations, warranties, indemnities and confidentiality obligations of the Parties shall survive the termination or expiration of this Contract. Except as otherwise provided in any provision of this Contract expressly limiting the liability of either Party, shall not relieve either Owner or Contractor of any obligations or liabilities for loss or damage to the other Party arising out of or caused by acts or omissions of such Party prior to the effectiveness of such termination or arising out of such termination, and shall not relieve Contractor of its obligations as to portions of the Work or other services already performed or of obligations assumed by Contractor prior to the date of termination.
