(ii) Owner commits an Act of Insolvency; or

(iii) subject to Section 8.04, the Project is suspended as provided in Section 8.04.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Suspension Period(s) last(s) longer than six (6) months in the aggregate, or if Owner elects to suspend the Project more than two (2) times after the date hereof, Manager may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.03 above and Section 8.05.

Upon early termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, Manager shall be entitled to receive (i) any unpaid Management Fees and Marketing Fees that have accrued through the termination date and (ii) reimbursable expenses incurred by Manager as provided in the Project Budget for Project administration and the severance obligations of Manager in respect of Manager’s Employees and expenses in respect of other obligations of Manager reasonably related to such termination, which are reasonably approved by Owner to the extent Manager has, in each such case, taken reasonable steps to mitigate such obligations; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated for Cause under Section 8.02, Owner shall have the right to offset against and deduct from all sums due Manager all damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Owner as a result of Manager’s default or failure to fulfill its obligations hereunder, and any fees overpaid to Manager.
