Information Obtained Through Internet Links. This Agreement may include electronic <br />links/\Neb site addresses to Federal /State laws, regulations, and directives as well as other information. <br />The Department does not guarantee the accuracy of information accessed through such links. <br />Accordingly, the Grantee agrees that information obtained through any electronic link within this <br />Agreement does not represent an official version of a Federal /State law, regulation, or directive, and <br />might be inaccurate. Thus, information obtained through such links is neither incorporated by reference <br />nor made part of this Agreement. The Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations are the <br />official sources for regulatory information pertaining to the Federal Government. <br />Section 36. Severability. If any provision of the FTA Master Agreement or this Agreement for the Project <br />is determined invalid, the remainder of that Agreement shall not be affected if that remainder would <br />continue to conform to the requirements of applicable Federal /State laws or regulations. <br />Section 37. Termination of Agreement. <br />a. The Department of Transportation. In the event of the Grantee's noncompliance with any of the <br />provisions of this Agreement, the Department may suspend or terminate the Agreement by giving <br />the Grantee thirty (30) days advance notice. Any failure to make reasonable progress on the <br />Project or violation of this Agreement for the Project that endangers substantial performance of the <br />Project shall provide sufficient grounds for the Department to terminate the Agreement for the <br />Project. In general, termination of Federal and State assistance for the Project will not invalidate <br />obligations properly incurred by the Grantee before the termination date to the extent those <br />obligations cannot be canceled. If, however, the Department determines that the Grantee has <br />willfully misused Federal /State assistance by failing to make adequate progress, failing to make <br />reasonable and appropriate use of Project property, or failing to comply with the terms of this <br />Agreement for the Project, the Department reserves the right to require the Grantee to refund the <br />entire amount of Federal and State assistance provided for the Project or any lesser amount as <br />the Department may determine. Expiration of any Project time period established for the Project <br />does not, by itself, constitute an expiration or termination of the Agreement for the Project. The <br />Department, before issuing notice of Agreement termination, shall allow the Grantee a reasonable <br />opportunity to correct for noncompliance. Upon noncompliance with the nondiscrimination section <br />(Section 8) of this Agreement or with any of the said rules, regulations or orders, this Agreement <br />may be cancelled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the Grantee may be declared <br />ineligible for contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Orders No. 11246 <br />and No. 11375, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in <br />the said Executive Order or by rule, regulation or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise <br />provided by law. In addition to the Department's rights of termination described above, the <br />Department may terminate its participation in the Project by notifying and receiving the concurrence <br />of the Grantee within sixty (60) days in advance of such termination. <br />b.
