<br />10. Termination for Convenience of State. The State may tenninate this Contract at any time the State determines that the purposes
<br />of the distribution of State monies under the Contract would no longer be served by completion of the Project. The State shall effect such termination
<br />by giving written notice of termination to the Contractor and specifying the effective date thereof, at least twenty (20) days before the effective date
<br />of such termination. In that event, all finished or unfinished documents and other materials as described in Paragraph 9 above shall, at the option
<br />of the State, become its property. If the Contract is terminated by the State as provided herein, the Contractor will be paid an amount which bears

<br />payments of compensation previously made. Provided, however, that if less than sixty percent (60%) of the services covered by this Contract have
<br />been performed upon the effective date of such termination, the Contractor shall be reimbursed (in addition to the above payment) for that portion
<br />of the actual out-of-pocket expenses (not otherwise reimbursed under this Contract) incurred by the Contractor during the Contract period which
<br />are directly attributable to the uncompleted portion of the seIVices covered by this Contract. If this Contract is terminated due to the fault of the
<br />Contractor, Paragrapb 9 hereof relative to termination shall apply.

<br />deletion, or other amendment hereto shall have any force or effect unless embodied in a written contract executed and approved pursuant to State
<br />fiscal rules. Notwithstanding this provision, changes in the time of performance may be agreed to by letter if so provided for in Exhibit A, and
<br />Contractor may make adjustments of less than ten percent (10%) in budget line items as provided for in Paragraph 6 of this Contract.

<br />of interest, as determined by the State, the State reserves the right to terminate the Contract for cause, as provided in
