Process” (Attachment B), and all applicable provisions of federal, state, and local law and regulations.
Failure to implement the Project in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement
and all attachments thereto shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement and may result in the Air District’s
enforcement of the Agreement, termination of the Agreement, a reduction in the amount of the Project’s
TFCA Funds Awarded that are specified in Attachment B, a required reimbursement from the Project
Sponsor to the Air District of TFCA Funds already awarded, or other remedies sought by the Air District at

submission of the Final Invoice to the Air District for reimbursement. Air District’s funding obligation
under this Agreement is limited to reimbursement of Eligible Costs, as specified in Attachment B, the
amount of which shall not exceed the TFCA Funds Awarded, also as specified in Attachment B. The Project
Sponsor shall be solely responsible for all costs that exceed the TFCA Funds Awarded.
3)The Project Sponsor is responsible for assuring that all funds received under this Agreement and Matching
Funds are expended only in accordance with the requirements of the TFCA Program, this Agreement, and
all applicable provisions of law and regulations.

A. Voluntary. Either Party may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other Party. The
notice of termination shall specify the effective date of termination. The terminating party shall provide
notice that is a minimum of forty-five (45) calendar days from the mailing date of the notice. However,
if any payments are due to either party, this Agreement may not be terminated earlier than the date that
all parties have received all payments they are due under this Agreement. In this circumstance, each
party shall notify the other party of having received all payments due and the date of receipt. The notice
of the termination shall be delivered as provided for in Section IV.5.
If the Project Sponsor terminates this Agreement, the Project Sponsor shall not be entitled to the full

to retain.
If the Air District terminates this Agreement pursuant to this provision, any costs incurred on the Project
following the effective date of termination shall be ineligible for reimbursement of TFCA funds, except
costs for any work that the Air District has specified in the notice of termination that the Project Sponsor
may continue to perform for the specified period of time. The Air District will reimburse Project

At its discretion, the Air District may allow the Project Sponsor to cure the breach; in that instance, the
notice of breach will specify the date by which such breach must be cured (“Cure Period”). As one of
its remedies, the Air District may terminate this Agreement. In that event, the notice of breach will
specify the date of termination, which shall be no less than thirty (30) calendar days from the date of
mailing of such notice of breach.

shall be considered employees or agents of the Air District. This Section does not apply to elected officials
serving concurrently on the governing boards of both the Project Sponsor and the Air District.

this Agreement to a third party without the prior written consent of the other Party. All of the terms,
provisions and conditions of this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and
their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives.
12) Waiver: No waiver of a breach, of failure of any condition, or of any right or remedy contained in or granted
by the provisions of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Party waiving
the breach, failure, right or remedy. No waiver of any breach, failure, right or remedy shall be deemed a
waiver of any other breach, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless the writing so
specifies. Further, the failure of a Party to enforce performance by the other Party of any term, covenant,
or condition of this Agreement, and the failure of a Party to exercise any rights or remedies hereunder, shall
not be deemed a waiver or relinquishment by that Party to enforce future performance of any such terms,
covenants, or conditions, or to exercise any future rights or remedies.

labor disputes, fire or other casualty, judicial orders, governmental controls, regulations or restrictions,
inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable substitutes for labor or materials necessary for
performance of the Project, or other causes, except financial, that are beyond the reasonable control of the
Air District or the Project Sponsor, for a period of time equal to the period of such force majeure event,
provided that the Party failing to perform notifies the other Party within fifteen (15) calendar days of
discovery of the force majeure event, and provided further that that Party takes all reasonable action to
mitigate the damages resulting from the failure to perform. Notwithstanding the above, if the cause of the
force majeure event is due to a Party’s own action or inaction, then such cause shall not excuse that Party
from performance under this Agreement.
