If the Agency fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the City may pursue such

(A) Termination for Cause – If the Agency fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and

representative within the time specified by same;
(3) The Agency has failed within the time specified by the City or its authorized representative to
satisfactorily substantiate its compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
The City may terminate this Agreement in whole or in part, and there upon shall notify in writing the Agency
of the termination, the reasons therefore, and the effective date. The effective date shall not be prior to notification
of the termination by the City to the Agency. Costs resulting from obligations incurred by the Agency after
termination of the Agreement are not allowable unless specifically authorized in writing by the City.

(1) By the City with the consent of the Agency. The two parties shall agree upon the termination
conditions, including the effective date and in the case of partial termination, the portion to be
terminated, or

terminate the award in its entirety if the City determines that the remaining portion will not
accomplish the purpose for which the award was made.

effective date of this Agreement, and prior to its normal completion, the City may summarily terminate this
Agreement as to the funds reduced or limited, notwithstanding any other termination provision of this
Agreement. If the level of funding so reduced or limited is so great that the Department of Community
Development deems that the continuation of the program covered by the Agreement is no longer in the
best interest of the public, the City may summarily terminate this Agreement in whole notwithstanding any
other termination provisions of this Agreement. Termination under this Section shall be effective upon
receipt of written notice by the Agency or its representative.

to be illegal or in conflict with any law of the state where made, the validity of the remaining portions or provisions

Agreement did not contain the particular part, term, or provision held to be invalid.
