F. Any termination of the AGREEMENT,whether for convenience or for default,that requires the AGREEMENT to be terminated or discontinued before the specified end date set forth in the caption header, "Term of Project", shall require WSDOT to amend the AGREEMENT by written amendment to reflect the termination date and reason for termination.

In no event shall acceptance of any WSDOT payment of grant funds by the CONTRACTOR constitute or be construed as a waiver by CONTRACTOR of any WSDOT breach, or default which shall in no way impair or prejudice any right or remedy available to CONTRACTOR with respect to any breach or default.
