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 thereunder and/or terminate this agreement by giving written notice of termination.

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.
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
mutually agreed upon in writing for commencement of work,the DEPARTMENT reserves the
right to terminate this agreement.
L. WAIVER
Waiver of am 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
