pletion of the Contract or by terms of an applicable special war-
ranty required by the Contract Documents. The provisions of
this Article 18 apply to Work done by Subcontractors as well as
to Work done by direct employees of the Contractor.
18.2 Nothing contained in this Article 18 shall be construed to
establish a period of limitation with respect to other obligations
which the Contractor might have under the Contract Docu-
ments, Establishment of the time period of one year as
described in Paragraph 18.1 relates only to the specific obliga-
tion of the Contractor to correct the Work, and has no relation-
ship to the time within which the obligation to comply with the
Contract Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor to the
time within which proceedings may be commenced to estab-
lish the Contractor's liability with respect to the Contractor's
obligations other than specifically to correct the Work.

cate for Payment for acts or failures to act occurring

ARTICLE 20
TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT
20.1 If the Architect fails to recommend payment for a period
of 30 days through no fault of the Contractor, or if the Owner
fails to make payment thereon for a period of 30 days, the Con-
tractor may, upon seven additional days' written notice to the
Owner and the Architect, terminate the Contract and recover
from the Owner payment for Work executed and for proven
loss with respect to materials, equipment, tools, and construc-
tion equipment and machinery, including reasonable overhead,
profit and damages applicable to the Project.
20.2 If the Contractor defaults or persistently fails or neglects
to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Docu-
ments or fails to perform a provision of the Contract, the
Owner, after seven days' written notice to the Contractor and
without prejudice to any other remedy the Owner may have,
may make good such deficiencies and may deduct the cost
thereof, including compensation for the Architect's services
and expenses made necessary thereby, from the payment then
or thereafter due the Contractor. Alternatively, at the Owner's
option, and upon certification by the Architect that sufficient
cause exists to justify such action, the Owner may terminate the
Contract and take possession of the site and of all materials,
equipment, tools, and construction equipment and machinery
thereon owned by the Contractor and may finish the Work by
whatever method the Owner may deem expedient. If the
unpaid balance of the Contract Sum exceeds costs of finishing
the Work, including compensation for the Architect's services
and expenses made necessary thereby, such excess shall be
paid to the Contractor, but if such costs exceed such unpaid
balance, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner.
