OWNER shall, before terminating the Contract for any of the foregoing reasons, notify CONTRACTOR in <br />writing of the grounds for termination and provide CONTRACTOR with ten (10) calendar days to cure <br />the default to the reasonable satisfaction of the OWNER. <br />C. If the CONTRACTOR fails to correct or cure within the time provided in the preceding Sub -Article B, <br />OWNER may terminate this Contract by notifying CONTRACTOR in writing. Upon receiving such <br />notification, CONTRACTOR shall immediately cease all work hereunder and shall forfeit any further <br />right to possess or occupy the site or any materials thereon; provided, however, that the OWNER may <br />authorize CONTRACTOR to restore any work sites. <br />D. The CONTRACTOR shall be liable for: <br />(1) any new cost incurred by the OWNER in soliciting bids or proposals for and letting a new contract; <br />and <br />(2) the difference between the cost of completing the new contract and the cost of completing this <br />Contract; <br />(3) any court costs and attorney's fees associated with any lawsuit undertaken by OWNER to enforce <br />its rights herein. <br />E.
