The Grantee represents and warrants that it shall make no claim of any kind or nature against the State's <br /> agents who are involved in the delivery or processing of Grantee goods to the State.

In that event,all finished or unfinished deliverable items prepared by <br /> the Grantee under this Contract shall,at the option of the Agency, become its property.

Termination for Cause: If,through any cause,the Grantee shall fail to fulfill its obligations under this Contract in a <br /> timely and proper manner,the Agency shall have the right to terminate this Contract by giving written notice to the <br /> Grantee and specifying the effective date thereof. In that event,all finished or unfinished deliverable items prepared <br /> by the Grantee under this Contract shall, at the option of the Agency, become its property and the Grantee shall be <br /> entitled to receive just and equitable compensation for any satisfactory work completed on such materials, minus any <br /> payment or compensation previously made. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision,the Grantee shall not be relieved <br /> of liability to the Agency for damages sustained by the Agency by virtue of the Grantee's breach of this agreement,and <br /> the Agency may withhold any payment due the Grantee for the purpose of setoff until such time as the exact amount <br /> of damages due the Agency from such breach can be determined. <br /> In case of default by the Grantee, the State may procure the services from other sources and hold the Grantee <br /> responsible for any excess cost occasioned thereby. The State reserves the right to require a performance bond or <br /> other acceptable alternative performance guarantees from successful offeror without expense to the State. <br /> In addition,in the event of default by the Grantee under this Contract,the State may immediately cease doing business <br /> with the Grantee, immediately terminate for cause all existing contracts the State has with the Grantee,and de-bar <br /> the Grantee from doing future business with the State. <br /> Upon the Grantee filing a petition for bankruptcy or the entering of a judgment of bankruptcy by or against the <br /> Grantee,the State may immediately terminate,for cause,this Contract and all other existing contracts the Grantee has <br /> with the State, and de-bar the Grantee from doing future business. <br /> 9. Waiver of Default: Waiver by the Agency of any default or breach in compliance with the terms of this Contract by <br /> the Grantee shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent default or breach and shall not be construed to be <br /> modification of the terms of this Contract unless stated to be such in writing,signed by an authorized representative <br /> of the Agency and the Grantee and attached to the Contract. <br /> 10.
