warranty is solely the responsibility of the City and any Qwest support of such
warranty will be provided at the discretion of the Service Provider. Any

element of this Agreement. In the event either party should fail or refuse to perform according to the
terms of this agreement, such party may be declared in default thereof.
12. Remedies. In the event a party has been declared in default, such defaulting party
shall be allowed a period of ten (10) days within which to cure said default. In the event the default
remains uncorrected, the party declaring default may elect to (a) terminate the Agreement and seek
damages; (b) treat the Agreement as continuing and require specific performance; or (c) avail
himself of any other remedy at law or equity. If the non -defaulting party commences legal or
equitable actions against the defaulting party, the defaulting party shall be liable to the non -
defaulting party for the non -defaulting party's reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred because
of the default.

liability for any early termination or cancellation charges either for Cause (as defined herein) or
pursuant to any specific termination right extended to the City under the terms of the subject
agreement. For purposes of this proposal, "Cause" shall mean the failure of a party to perform a
material obligation under the subject agreement which failure is not remedied, if curable: (a) in the
event of a payment default by Customer, upon five (5) calendar days written notice, or (b) in the
event of any other general default, upon thirty (30) calendar days written notice (unless a shorter
SA 10/01

notice period is expressly set forth in the agreement, in which case the shorter notice period shall
apply).
