reject leachate or to revise the conditions of this contract in the event that such changes are needed to
correct “plant upset” as determined by the COUNTY. The terms and conditions of this contract may be
subject to modification by the COUNTY during the terms agreed upon, should the COUNTY deem it
necessary for the benefit of the APWRF.

CONTRACTOR thirty (30) days notice in writing of such termination.
