My main goal is to be able to have fail-over to the other site's Internet access in case the Internet circuit goes down.

One way is to just originate a default route from the OSPF process running on the edge provider, but my question is how to take it away if the Internet circuit fails and reroute it to the other site.

Separate physical sites? How are they connected? (I'm assuming you don't 
have a full mesh since that would take care of it for you automatically.)
