notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the LOI or the Concession

the forfeiture and appropriation of the Bid Security or Performance Security, as the case
may be, which the Authority may have there under or otherwise, the LOI or the
Concession Agreement, as the case may be, shall be liable to be terminated without the
Authority being liable in any manner whatsoever to the Preferred Bidder or
