In <br /> the event of termination, the Contractor shall be liable for all damages as authorized by law. The rights <br /> and remedies of the County provided for in this section shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any <br /> other rights and remedies provided by law. <br /> �C3 <br /> Page 12 of 18 <br />
