of all materials, equipment and the like. In such cases of
termination, Gettysburg College shall be relieved of all further
obligations hereunder and Contractor shall be liable to
Gettysburg College for all costs incurred by Gettysburg College
in completing such Work in excess of the total compensation
herein defined. Upon 15 days written notice, Gettysburg College,
at its option, may cancel this Contract at any time, whether or not
Contractor is in default of any of its obligations hereunder. Upon
any such cancellation, Contractor agrees to waive any claim for
damages, including lose of anticipated profits on account thereof.
However, provided that Contractor is not in default of its
obligations hereunder, Gettysburg College agrees that Contractor
shall be paid an amount which when added to all installments
previously paid will equal the sum of all costs properly incurred
prior to date of cancellation, plus earned profit on such incurred
costs, but in no event shall such amount be greater than the
Contract price. Such earned profit shall bear the same
relationship to such incurred costs as the profit increment of the
Contract price bears to the costs increment of such Contract
price. Gettysburg College reserves the right to verify the
amounts of such costs and profit increments through an audit of
Contractor's records. Gettysburg College reserves the right to
suspend the Work of the Contractor at any time in Gettysburg
College's sole discretion. Gettysburg College shall give
Contractor written notice of said suspension of Work.
Gettysburg College agrees to pay Contractor for its costs,
charges, and expenses arising out of the suspension of this
Contract caused by the exercise of Gettysburg College's rights set
forth herein. Costs, charges and expenses shall be exclusive of
anticipated profit. Contractor shall include the foregoing
provisions in all subcontracts in which it enters to the end that
Gettysburg College and Contractor shall have the rights therein
set forth with respect to each subcontractor.

including a tax lien, or charge to attach in the Work or the
premises upon which the Work is being performed. If any such
lien does so become attached, Contractor shall promptly procure
its release and hold Gettysburg College harmless from such
losses, costs, damages or expenses incidental thereto including
court costs and attorney's fees.
17) FORCE MAJEURE: If, because of force majeure, either
party hereto is unable to carry out any of its obligations under
this Contract, other than the obligations to pay money due
hereunder, and if such party promptly gives to the other party
hereto written notice of such force majeure, then the obligations
of the party giving such notice shall be suspended to the extent
made necessary by such force majeure and during its continuance,
provided that the party giving such notice shall use its best efforts
to remedy such force majeure insofar as possible with all
reasonable dispatch. The term "force majeure" as used herein
shall mean any causes beyond the control of the party affected
