§ 14.1.3 If one of the reasons described in Section 14.1.1 or 14.1.2 exists, the Contractor may, upon seven days' notice
<br />to the Owner and Architect, terminate the Contract and recover from the Owner payment for Work executed, as well
<br />as reasonable overhead and profit on Work not executed, and costs incurred by reason of such termination.
<br />§ 14.1.4 If the Work is stopped for a period of 60 consecutive days through no act or fault of the Contractor, a
<br />Subcontractor, a Sub -subcontractor, or their agents or employees or any other persons or entities performing portions
<br />of the Work because the Owner has repeatedly failed to fulfill the Owner's obligations under the Contract Documents
<br />with respect to matters important to the progress of the Work, the Contractor may, upon seven additional days' notice
<br />to the Owner and the Architect, terminate the Contract and recover from the Owner as provided in Section 14.1.3.
<br />§ 14.2 Termination by the Owner for Cause
<br />§ 14.2.1 The Owner may terminate the Contract if the Contractor
<br />.1 repeatedly refuses or fails to supply enough properly skilled workers or proper materials;
<br />.2 fails to make payment to Subcontractors or suppliers in accordance with the respective agreements
<br />between the Contractor and the Subcontractors or suppliers;
<br />.3 repeatedly disregards applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, or lawful
<br />orders of a public authority; or
<br />.4 otherwise is guilty of substantial breach of a provision of the Contract Documents.
<br />§ 14.2.2 When any of the reasons described in Section 14.2.1 exist, and upon certification by the Architect that
<br />sufficient cause exists to justify such action, the Owner may, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of the
<br />Owner and after giving the Contractor and the Contractor's surety, if any, seven days' notice, terminate employment
<br />of the Contractor and may, subject to any prior rights of the surety:
<br />.1 Exclude the Contractor from the site and take possession of all materials, equipment, tools, and
<br />construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by the Contractor;
<br />.2 Accept assignment of subcontracts pursuant to Section 5.4; and
<br />.3 Finish the Work by whatever reasonable method the Owner may deem expedient. Upon written request
<br />of the Contractor, the Owner shall furnish to the Contractor a detailed accounting of the costs incurred
<br />by the Owner in finishing the Work.
<br />§ 14.2.3 When the Owner terminates the Contract for one of the reasons stated in Section 14.2.1, the Contractor shall
<br />not be entitled to receive further payment until the Work is finished.
<br />§ 14.2.4 If the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum exceeds costs of finishing the Work, including compensation for
<br />the Architect's services and expenses made necessary thereby, and other damages incurred by the Owner and not
<br />expressly waived, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If such costs and damages exceed the unpaid balance,
<br />the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner. The amount to be paid to the Contractor or Owner, as the case
<br />may be, shall be certified by the Initial Decision Maker, upon application, and this obligation for payment shall
<br />survive termination of the Contract.
<br />§ 14.3 Suspension by the Owner for Convenience

<br />whole or in part for such period of time as the Owner may determine.
<br />§ 14.3.2 The Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be adjusted for increases in the cost and time caused by
<br />suspension, delay, or interruption under Section 14.3.1. Adjustment of the Contract Sum shall include profit. No
<br />adjustment shall be made to the extent
<br />.1 that performance is, was, or would have been, so suspended, delayed, or interrupted, by another cause
<br />for which the Contractor is responsible; or
<br />.2 that an equitable adjustment is made or denied under another provision of the Contract.
<br />§ 14.4 Termination by the Owner for Convenience
<br />§ 14.4.1 The Owner may, at any time, terminate the Contract for the Owner's convenience and without cause.
