9. The City reserves the right to request reimbursement of any funds spent on the P roject, even funds deemed eligible costs, if the project is not completed in accordance with this Agreement.
I. TERMINATION
1. The City reserves the right to terminate this Agreement for any reason at any time. There are no vested rights or entitlements to funding that Sub-grantee can or should rely upon, and once a notice of termination is provided, only authorized and eligible work prior to that notification of termination will be paid by the City.
2. Prior to the completion of P roject, either party may terminate this agreement by providing the other party with thirty (30) days’ written notice of such termination. The City may also terminate this Agreement for any reason at any time if it learns of or otherwise discovers that ther e is a violation of any state or federal law or policy by Sub -grantee which affects performance of this or any other grant agreement or contract entered into with the City . Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sub-grantee’s obligation to fulfill the purpose of the grant and comply with restrictions on use of the funds and to report to City shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
3. If the City terminates without cause, the Sub -grantee shall take all reasonable measures to prevent further costs to the State under this agreement. The City shall be responsible for any reasonable and non-cancelable obligations incurred by the Sub -grantee in the performance of the agreement prior to the date of the notice to terminate.
4. If the Sub-grantee fails to complete the Project in accordance with this agreement or fails to fulfill any other obligations of this agreement prior to the termination date, the Sub -grantee shall be liable for immediate repayment to the City of all amounts disbursed by the City under this agreement, plus accrued interest and any further costs related to the project. The City may, at its sole discretion, consider extenuating circumstances and not require repayment for work partially completed provided that the City determines it i s in the City’s best interest to do so.
This paragraph shall not be deemed to limit any other remedies available to the State for breach of this agreement.
5. Failure by the Sub -grantee to comply with the terms of this agreement may be cause for suspension of all obligations of the City hereunder.
6. Failure of the Sub-grantee to comply with the terms of this agreement shall not be cause for suspending all obligations of the City hereunder if, in the judgment of the City, such failure was due to no fault of the Sub -grantee. At the discretion of the City, any amount required to settle at minimum cost any irrevocable obligations properly incurred shall be eligible for reimbursement under this agreement.
7. Because the benefit to be derived by the City, from the full compliance by the Sub-grantee with the terms of this agreement, is for the people of the State of California and the residents of the City of Fullerton, and because such benefit ex ceeds to an immeasurable and unascertainable extent the amount of money furnished by the City by way of grant funds under the provisions of this agreement, the Sub-grantee agrees that payment by the Sub -grantee to the City of an 5 amount equal to the amount of the grant funds disbursed under this agreement by the City would be inadequate compensation to the City for any breach by the Sub-grantee of this agreement.
The Sub-grantee further agrees therefore, that the appropriate remedy in the event of a breach by the Sub-grantee of this agreement shall be the specific performance of this agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by the City.
