B.             In case of such suspension or extension, Contractor will reimburse and compensate Subcontractor in accordance with Article 4 for any work furnished during the suspension or extension and when reactivating the services at the end of the suspension or extension provided, however, that such work shall be limited to that reasonably and necessarily required by Subcontractor and requested or approved by Contractor.

C.             In case of termination, Contractor shall reimburse Subcontractor for all work performed prior to termination and any costs reasonably incurred by Subcontractor and approved by Contractor, as set forth in ARTICLE 23.

D.            In the event that a total suspension of work by Contractor exceeds ninety (90) consecutive days, Subcontractor may terminate this Agreement by giving Contractor thirty (30) days’ written notice.  In the event of termination, whether initiated by Contractor or Subcontractor, Subcontractor shall:

 

(i)             Stop performance of all work except that reasonably necessary to carry out termination.

(ii)          Make no further monetary commitments except with consent of Contractor.

(iii)       Assign to Contractor, upon Contractor’s request, all rights of Subcontractor to any or all outstanding lower-tier subcontracts.
