K. TERMINATION
1. For Cause. The obligation of the DEPARTMENT to the RECIPIENT is contingent upon satisfactory
performance by the RECIPIENT of all of its obligations under this agreement. In the event the
RECIPIENT unjustifiably fails, in the opinion of the DEPARTMENT, to perform any obligation
required of it by this agreement, the DEPARTMENT may refuse to pay any further funds there under
and/or terminate this agreement by giving written notice of termination.
A written notice of termination shall be given at least five working days prior to the effective date of
termination. In that event, all finished or unfinished documents, data studies, surveys, drawings,
maps, models, photographs, and reports or other materials prepared by the RECIPIENT under this
agreement, at the option of the DEPARTMENT, shall become DEPARTMENT property and the
RECIPIENT shall be entitled to receive just and equitable compensation for any satisfactory work
completed on such documents and other materials.
Despite the above, the RECIPIENT shall not be relieved of any liability to the DEPARTMENT for
damages sustained by the DEPARTMENT and/or the State of Washington because of any breach of
agreement by the RECIPIENT. The DEPARTMENT may withhold payments for the purpose of
setoff until such time as the exact amount of damages due the DEPARTMENT from the RECIPIENT
is determined.
2. Insufficient Funds. The obligation of the DEPARTMENT to make payments is contingent on the
availability of state and federal funds through legislative appropriation and state allotment. When this
agreement crosses over state fiscal years the obligation of the DEPARTMENT is contingent upon the
appropriation of funds during the next fiscal year. The failure to appropriate or allot such funds shall
be good cause to terminate this agreement as provided in paragraph K.1 above.
When this agreement crosses the RECIPIENT's fiscal year, the obligation of the RECIPIENT to
continue or complete the project described herein shall be contingent upon appropriation of funds by
the RECIPIENT's governing body; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall preclude
the DEPARTMENT from demanding repayment of ALL funds paid to the RECIPIENT in accordance
with Section O herein.
19
3. Failure to Commence Work. In the event the RECIPIENT fails to commence work on the project
funded herein within four months after the effective date of this agreement, or by any date agreed
upon in writing for commencement of work, the DEPARTMENT reserves the right to terminate this
agreement.
L. WAIVER
Waiver of any RECIPIENT default is not a waiver of any subsequent default. Waiver of a breach of any
provision of this agreement is not a waiver of any subsequent breach and will not be construed as a
modification of the terms of this agreement unless stated as such in writing by the authorized
representative of the DEPARTMENT.
M. PROPERTY RIGHTS
1. Copyrights and Patents. When the RECIPIENT creates any copyrightable materials or invents any
patentable property, the RECIPIENT may copyright or patent the same but the DEPARTMENT
retains a royalty-free, nonexclusive and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, recover or
otherwise use the material(s) or property and to authorize others to use the same for federal, state or
local government purposes. Where federal funding is involved, the federal government may have a
proprietary interest in patent rights to any inventions that are developed by the RECIPIENT as

absence of state, federal statute(s), regulation(s), or policy(s) to the contrary or upon specific
instructions with respect thereto in the Scope of Work.
4. Personal Property Furnished by the DEPARTMENT. When the DEPARTMENT provides personal
property directly to the RECIPIENT for use in performance of the project, it shall be returned to the
DEPARTMENT prior to final payment by the DEPARTMENT. If said property is lost, stolen or
damaged while in the RECIPIENT's possession, the DEPARTMENT shall be reimbursed in cash or
by setoff by the RECIPIENT for the fair market value of such property.

insurance policies, Torrens certificates, or abstracts, and attorney's opinions establishing that the
land is free from any impediment, lien, or claim which would impair the uses contemplated by
this agreement.

shall not at any time convert any equipment, property or facility acquired or developed pursuant to
this agreement to uses other than those for which assistance was originally approved without prior
written approval of the DEPARTMENT. Such approval may be conditioned upon payment to the
DEPARTMENT of that portion of the proceeds of the sale, lease or other conversion or encumbrance
20
which monies granted pursuant to this agreement bear to the total acquisition, purchase or
construction costs of such property.

satisfactory performance of this agreement including the satisfactory completion of the project described

of it by this agreement, the RECIPIENT may, at the DEPARTMENT's sole discretion, be required to
repay to the DEPARTMENT all grant/loan funds disbursed to the RECIPIENT for those parts of the
project that are rendered worthless in the opinion of the DEPARTMENT by such failure to perform.
Interest shall accrue at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per year from the time the DEPARTMENT
demands repayment of funds. If payments have been discontinued by the DEPARTMENT due to
insufficient funds as in Section K.2 above, the RECIPIENT shall not be obligated to repay monies which
had been paid to the RECIPIENT prior to such termination. Any property acquired under this agreement,
at the option of the DEPARTMENT, may become the DEPARTMENT'S property and the RECIPIENT'S
liability to repay monies shall be reduced by an amount reflecting the fair value of such property.

RECIPIENT shall be subject to the review and approval of the DEPARTMENT through the Project

govern. The RECIPIENT shall have the right to appeal decisions as provided for below.
