(c) Consultant's violation of City ordinance(s) unrelated to performance under the Agreement such that, in the opinion of the Commissioner, indicates a willful or reckless disregard for City laws and regulations.

9.2 Remedies

(a) Notices. The occurrence of any event of default permits the City, at the City's sole option, to declare Consultant in default. The Commissioner will give Consultant an opportunity to cure the default within a certain period of time, which period of time must not exceed 30 days unless extended by the Commissioner, and which in no event such period of time will be less than 5 days. Whether to declare Consultant in default is within the sole reasonable discretion of the Commissioner.

The Commissioner will give Consultant written notice of the default, in the form of a cure notice ("Cure Notice"). The Commissioner may give a "Default Notice" if Consultant fails to effect a cure within the cure period given in a Cure Notice. If the Commissioner gives a Default Notice, he will also indicate any present intent he may have to terminate this Agreement, and the decision to terminate is final and effective upon giving the notice. If the Commissioner decides not to terminate, this decision will not preclude him from later deciding to terminate the Agreement in a later notice, which will be final and effective upon the giving of the notice or on the date set forth in the notice, whichever is later. When a Default Notice with intent to terminate is given as provided in this Section 9.2 and Article 11, Commissioner must discontinue any Services, unless otherwise directed in the notice, and deliver all materials accumulated in the performance of this Agreement, whether completed or in the process, to the City.

(b) Exercise of Remedies. After giving a Default Notice, the City may invoke any or all of the following remedies:

(i) The right to terminate this Agreement as to any or all of the Services yet to be performed effective at a time specified by the City;

(ii) The right of specific performance, an injunction- or any other appropriate equitable remedy;

(iii) The right to money damages;

(iv) The right to have withheld all or any part of Consultant's compensation under this Agreement;

26

 

(v)    The right to require the refund of some or all of the "Participation Fee."

(c) City's Reservation of Rights. If the Commissioner considers it to be in the City's best interests, he may elect not to declare default or to terminate this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that this provision is solely for the benefit of the City and that if the City permits Consultant to continue to provide the Services despite one or more events of default, Consultant is in no way relieved of any of its responsibilities, duties or obligations under this Agreement, nor does the City waive or relinquish any of its rights.

(d) Non-Exclusivity of Remedies. The remedies under the terms of this Agreement are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies provided, but each and every such remedy is cumulative and is in addition to any other remedies, existing now or later, at law, in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any event of default impairs any such right or power, nor is it a waiver of any event of default nor acquiescence in it, and every such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as the City considers expedient.

(e) Default by City. If the City materially breaches this Agreement and the breach remains uncured for more than thirty (30) days after written notice of the breach by Consultant to the City, Consultant may terminate the Agreement.

(f) If any of the payments for the $150,000 Participation Fee are not paid for more than thirty (30) days after they are due, Consultant's sole recourse is to suspend the Services until payment is received orto terminate the agreement.

(g) In the event of termination for non-payment by Grantor or the City, or due to default by the City, Consultant will not be entitled to any funds or payment other than the amount already paid to and received by Consultant. /

The City will give notice to Consultant in accordance with the provisions of Article 11. The effective date of termination will be the date the notice is received by Consultant or the date stated in the notice, whichever is later. If the City elects to terminate this Agreement in full, all Services to be provided under it must cease and all materials that may have been accumulated in performing this Agreement, whether completed or in the process, must be delivered to the City effective 10 days after the date the notice is considered received as provided under Article 11 of this Agreement (if no date is given) or upon the effective date stated in the notice.

27

 

(b) After the notice is received, Consultant must restrict its activities, and those of its Subcontractors, to winding down any reports, analyses, or other activities previously begun unless otherwise directed by the Commissioner. As payment of the "Participation Fee" is to be made in advance, the most Consultant will be entitled to for Services actually and satisfactorily performed will be the amount already paid. The payment so made to Consultant is in full settlement for all Services 'satisfactorily performed under this Agreement. However, Consultant agrees to refund the unearned portion of the "Participation Fee" already paid if the effective date of termination is prior to the Program Conference or September 30, 2012, whichever is earlier.

(c) If the City's election to terminate this Agreement for default under Sections 9.1 and 9.2 is determined in a court of competent jurisdiction to have been wrongful, then in that case the termination is to be considered to be an early termination under this Section 9.3. •
