fiscal accountability, financial soundness, or compliance with this Agreement, CITY
may suspend the operation of this Agreement for up to sixty (60) days upon five (5)
days written notice to CONTRACTOR of its intention to so act, pending an audit or
other resolution of such questions. In no event, however, shall any revisions made
by CITY affect expenditures and legally binding commitments made by

amounts have been committed in good faith and are otherwise allowable and that
such commitments are consistent with HUD cash withdrawal guidelines.

CONTRACTOR on behalf of CITY, in furtherance of the activities hereunder
or thereof.
CONTRACTOR's obligations and responsibilities set forth in this paragraph
"XI. REVERSION OF ASSETS." and in paragraphs "XII. TERMINATION"
and "III. PROGRAM INCOME" shall not be affected by the termination of this
Agreement and shall survive the date of termination of this Agreement for
such period of time as CITY and/or HUD deems necessary for the
responsibilities, duties and obligations to be performed and completed to the
satisfaction of CITY and HUD.
XII. TERMINATION
A. This Agreement may be terminated on thirty (30) days' written notice by
either party. In the event of such termination, CONTRACTOR shall only be
entitled to reimbursement for approved expenses incurred to the effective
date of termination.
B. This Agreement may be suspended or terminated by CITY upon five
(5) days' written notice for violation by CONTRACTOR of the terms and

CONTRACTOR shall only be entitled to reimbursement for approved
expenses incurred up to the effective date of suspension or termination.

obligations hereunder, CITY may declare a default and termination of this
Agreement by written notice to CONTRACTOR, which default and
termination shall be effective on a date stated in the notice which is to be not
less than ten (10) days after certified mailing or personal service of such

stated in such notice. If terminated for cause, CITY shall be relieved of
further liability or responsibility under this Agreement, or as a result of the
termination thereof, including the payment of money, except for payment for
approved expenses incurred for services satisfactorily and timely performed
prior to the mailing or service of the notice of termination, and except for

Page 12 of 14
25H-46
adjudication of CONTRACTOR's rights, any and all funds not used, and to
comply with paragraph "XI. REVERSION OF ASSETS" of this Agreement.
XIII. LIMITATION OF FUNDS
The United States of America, through HUD, may in the future place programmatic
or fiscal limitations on the use of FEZ funds which limitations are not presently
anticipated. Accordingly, CITY reserves the right to revise this Agreement in order
to take account of actions affecting HUD program funding. In the event of funding
reduction, CITY may, in its sole and absolute discretion, reduce the budget of this
Agreement as a whole or as to costs category, may limit the rate of
CONTRACTOR's authority to commit and spend funds, or may restrict
CONTRACTOR's use of both its uncommitted and its unspent funds. Where HUD
has directed or requested CITY to implement a reduction in funding, in whole or as
to a cost category, with respect to funding for this Agreement, CITY's Executive
Director or delegate is authorized to act for CITY in implementing and effecting
such a reduction and in revising, modifying, or amending the Agreement for such
purposes. Where CITY has reasonable grounds to question CONTRACTOR's
fiscal accountability, financial soundness, or compliance with this Agreement, CITY
may suspend the operation of this Agreement for up to sixty (60) days upon five (5)
days written notice to CONTRACTOR of its intention to so act, pending an audit or
other resolution of such questions. In no event, however, shall any revisions made
by CITY affect expenditures and legally binding commitments made by
CONTRACTOR before it received notice of such revision, provided that such
amounts have been committed in good faith and are otherwise allowable and that
such commitments are consistent with HUD cash withdrawal guidelines.
XIV. EXCLUSIVITY AND AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT
This Agreement supersedes any and all other agreements, either oral or in writing,
between the parties hereto with respect to the use of CITY's FEZ funds by
CONTRACTOR and contains all the covenants and agreements between the
parties with respect to such employment in any manner whatsoever. Each party to
this Agreement acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises or
agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by any party, or anyone acting
on behalf of any party, which are not embodied herein, and that no other
agreement or amendment hereto shall be effective unless executed in writing and
signed by both CITY and CONTRACTOR.
XV. LAWS GOVERNING THIS AGREEMENT
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of California, and all applicable federal laws and regulations.
