The Notice shall specify a termination date ("Termination Date") at least fourteen (14) days after the date the Notice is issued. The Notice shall be effective ("Notice Date") upon the earlier of either actual receipt by Service Provider (whether by fax, mail, delivery or other method reasonably calculated to be received by Service Provider in a reasonably prompt manner)or three calendar days after issuance of the Notice. Upon the Notice Date, Service Provider shall immediately commence to end the Work in a reasonable and orderly manner. Unless terminated for Service Provider's material breach, the Service Provider shall be paid or reimbursed for: (a) all hours worked and Eligible Expenses incurred up to the Notice Date, less all payments previously made; and (b) those hours worked and Eligible Expenses incurred after the Notice Date, but prior to the Termination Date, that were reasonably necessary to terminate the Work in an orderly manner. The Notice shall be sent by the United States Mail to Service Provider's address provided herein, postage prepaid, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by delivery. In addition, the Notice may also be sent by any other method reasonably believed to provide Service Provider actual notice in a timely manner, such as fax.

At its sole option, City may deduct from the final payment due the Service Provider (a) any damages, expenses or costs arising out of any such violations, breaches, or non-performance and (b) any other backcharges or credits. 8.

The Service Provider is obligated to defend and indemnify the City pursuant to this paragraph whether a Claim is asserted directly against the City, or whether it is asserted indirectly against the City, e.g., a Claim is asserted against someone else who then seeks contribution or indemnity from the City.
