(3) Contractor commits any material breach or default of any covenant, warranty, obligation or agreement under this Contract, fails to perform the Work under this Contract within the time specified herein or any extension thereof, or so fails to pursue the Work as to endanger Contractor’s performance under this Contract in accordance with its terms, and such breach, default or failure is not cured within 14 calendar days after OHA’s notice, or such longer period as OHA may specify in such notice; or

(4) Contractor failed to comply with the tax laws of this state or a political subdivision of this state before the Contractor executed this Contract or fails to comply with the tax laws of this state or a political subdivision of this state during the term of this Contract.

In the event OHA terminates the Contract under Section 10.e.(1), or in the event OHA is in default under Section 10.c. and whether or not Contractor elects to exercise its right to terminate the Contract under Section 10.e.(3), Contractor's sole monetary remedy shall be (i) with respect to Work compensable at a stated rate, a claim for unpaid invoices, time worked within any limits set forth in this Contract but not yet invoiced, authorized expenses incurred and interest within the limits permitted under ORS 293.462, and (ii) with respect to deliverable-based Work, a claim for the sum designated for completing the deliverable multiplied by the percentage of Work completed and accepted by OHA, less previous amounts paid and any claim(s) that OHA has against Contractor.
