It depends on the type of Termination. If the termination is due to Contractor default, the retention including the total amount reasonably earned by the Contractor had a time of termination shall be release only upon expiration of the Period of Maintenance and thereafter all damages incurred by Client in completing the remaining Works will be ascertained and the amount thereof certified by the Engineer. The Contractor shall then be entitle to receive only the sums, if any, as the Engineer may certify would have been payable to the Contractor after deducting the damages or expenses incurred by Client.
If the Termination is due to Client convenient or not due to Contractor's default, then the Client shall indemnify the Contractor and pay the sums reasonably earned by the Contractor at time of termination, the damages incurred by Contractor and the release of retention upon the valuation of Certificate from Engineer.
