X. This Agreement shall bind the successors, assigns and legal representatives of the Grantee and of any legal entity that succeeds to the obligation of the Department. XI. The following provisions shall apply for the voluntary and involuntary suspension or termination of the grant by either the Department or the Grantee: A. Suspension. Suspension is action taken by the Department which temporarily withdraws or limits the Grantee's authority to utilize grant assistance pending corrective action by the Grantee as specified by the Department or pending a decision by the Department to terminate the grant. 1 . Notification. When the Grantee has materially failed to comply with the terms and conditions of the grant, the Department may suspend the grant after giving the Grantee reasonable notice (usually 30 calendar days) and an opportunity to show cause why the grant should not be suspended. The notice of the suspension will detail the reasons for the suspension, any corrective action required of the Grantee, and the effective date of the suspension. 2 . Commitments. No commitments of funds incurred by the Grantee during the period of suspension will be allowed under the suspended grant, unless the Department expressly authorizes them in the notice of suspension or an amendment to it. Necessary and otherwise allowable costs which the Grantee could not reasonably avoid during the suspension period will be allowed if they result from charges properly incurred by the Grantee before the effective date of the suspension, and not in anticipation of suspension or termination. Third party contributions applicable to the suspension period shall not be allowed in satisfaction of matching share requirements, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. 3 . Adjustments to payments. Appropriate adjustments to the payments submitted after the effective date of suspension under the suspended grant will be made either by withholding the payments or by not allowing the Grantee credit for disbursements made in payment of unauthorized costs incurred during the suspension period. 4. Suspension period. Suspensions will remain in effect until the Grantee has taken corrective action to the satisfaction of the Department or given written evidence satisfactory to the Department that corrective action will be taken, or until the Department terminates the grant. The grant shall be terminated by the Department if the Grantee fails to respond in writing to a notification of suspension within 30 calendar days of receipt of such notification by the Grantee. B . Termination. Termination is the cancellation of grant assistance, in whole or in part, under a grant or project at any time prior to the date of completion. 1 . Termination for cause. The Department shall have the authority to cancel this Agreement because of failure of the Grantee to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement or any other past or present grant award agreement with this Division or any other Division within the Department of State. Satisfaction of obligations by the Grantee shall be determined by the Department. The Department shall provide the Grantee a written notice of default letter. The Grantee shall have 15 calendar days to cure the default, unless it is determined by the Department that the default is of a nature that cannot be cured. If the default is not cured by the Grantee within the stated period, the Department shall terminate this Agreement. Notice shall be sufficient if it is delivered to the party personally or mailed to its specified address. In the event of termination of this Agreement, the Grantee will be compensated for any work satisfactorily completed in accordance with this Agreement prior to notification of termination.
