15. REMEDIES
If Grantee is in breach under any provision of this Grant, the State shall have all of the remedies listed in this
§15 in addition to 49 CFR § 18.43 and all other remedies set forth in other sections of this Grant following the
notice and cure period set forth in §14(B), provided however, that the State may terminate this Grant pursuant to
§15(B) without a breach. The State may exercise any or all of the remedies available to it, in its sole discretion,
concurrently or consecutively.
A. Termination for Cause and/or Breach
If Grantee fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder with such diligence as is required to ensure its
completion in accordance with the provisions of this Grant and in a timely manner, the State may notify
Grantee of such non - performance in accordance with the provisions herein. If Grantee thereafter fails to
promptly cure such non - performance within the cure period, the State, at its option, may terminate this
entire Grant or such part of this Grant as to which there has been delay or a failure to properly perform.
Exercise by the State of this right shall not be deemed a breach of its obligations hereunder. Grantee shall
continue performance of this Grant to the extent not terminated, if any.
i. Obligations and Rights
To the extent specified in any termination notice, Grantee shall not incur further obligations or
render further performance hereunder past the effective date of such notice, and shall terminate
outstanding orders and subcontracts with third parties. However, Grantee shall complete and deliver
to the State all Work, Services and Goods not cancelled by the termination notice and may incur
obligations as are necessary to do so within this Grant's terms. At the sole discretion of the State,
Grantee shall assign to the State all of Grantee's right, title, and interest under such terminated orders
or subgrants. Upon termination, Grantee shall take timely, reasonable and necessary action to protect
and preserve property in the possession of Grantee in which the State has an interest. All materials
owned by the State in the possession of Grantee shall be immediately returned to the State. All Work
Product, at the option of the State, shall be delivered by Grantee to the State and shall become the
State's property.
ii. Payments
The State shall reimburse Grantee only for accepted performance up to the date of termination. If,
after termination by the State, it is determined that Grantee was not in breach or that Grantee's action
or inaction was excusable, such termination shall be treated as a termination in the public interest
and the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be the same as if this Grant had been terminated in
the public interest, as described herein,
iii. Damages and Withholding
Notwithstanding any other remedial action by the State, Grantee also shall remain liable to the State
for any damages sustained by the State by virtue of any breach under this Grant by Grantee and the
State may withhold any payment to Grantee for the purpose of mitigating the State's damages, until
such time as the exact amount of damages due to the State from Grantee is determined. The State
may withhold any amount that may be due to Grantee as the State deems necessary to protect the
State, including loss as a result of outstanding liens or claims of former lien holders, or to reimburse
the State for the excess costs incurred in procuring similar goods or services. Grantee shall be liable
for excess costs incurred by the State in procuring from third parties replacement Work, Services or
substitute Goods as cover.
B. Early Termination in the Public Interest
The State is entering into this Grant for the purpose of carrying out the public policy of the State of
Colorado, as determined by its Governor, General Assembly, and/or courts. If this Grant ceases to further
the public policy of the State, the State, in its sole discretion, may terminate this Grant in whole or in part.
Exercise by the State of this right shall not constitute a breach of the State's obligations hereunder. This
subsection shall not apply to a termination of this Grant by the State for cause or breach by Grantee, which
shall be governed by §15(A) or as otherwise specifically provided for herein.
i. Method and Content
The State shall notify Grantee of such termination in accordance with §16. The notice shall specify
the effective date of the termination and whether it affects all or a portion of this Grant.

Upon receipt of a termination notice, Grantee shall be subject to and comply with the same
obligations and rights set forth in §15(A)(i).
in. Payments

which bears the same ratio to the total reimbursement under this Grant as the Services satisfactorily
performed bear to the total Services covered by this Grant, less payments previously made.
Additionally, if this Grant is less than 60% completed, the State may reimburse Grantee for a portion
of actual out -of- pocket expenses (not otherwise reimbursed under this Grant) incurred by Grantee
which are directly attributable to the uncompleted portion of Grantee's obligations hereunder;
provided that the sum of any and all reimbursement shall not exceed the maximum amount payable
to Grantee hereunder,
C. Remedies Not Involving Termination

remedies available to it:

suspension of performance under this provision.
H. Withhold Payment
Withhold payment to Grantee until corrections in Grantee's performance are satisfactorily made and
completed.
iii. Deny Payment
Deny payment for those obligations not performed, that due to Grantee's actions or inactions, cannot
be performed or, if performed, would be of no value to the State; provided, that any denial of
payment shall be reasonably related to the value to the State of the obligations not performed.
iv. Removal
Demand removal of any of Grantee's employees, agents, or Subgrantees whom the State deems
incompetent, careless, insubordinate, unsuitable, or otherwise unacceptable, or whose continued
relation to this Grant is deemed to be contrary to the public interest or not in the State's best interest.
v. Intellectual Property
If Grantee infringes on a patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right while
performing its obligations under this Grant, Grantee shall, at the State's option (a) obtain for the State or
Grantee the right to use such products and services; (b) replace any Goods, Services, or other product
involved with non - infringing products or modify them so that they become non - infringing; or, (c) if neither
