15. Default by Contractor


In the event that (a) the Contractor does not perform the Work in accordance with the terms of this Contract and has not corrected the default within ___ days of written notice by the Owner, or (b) the Contractor becomes bankrupt or makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or if a receiver of the Contractor is appointed, then the Owner may finish the Work in accordance with the plans and specifications as the Owner may deem expedient, but without undue delay or expense.

In such event, the Contractor shall not be entitled to any further payment under this Contract, but upon completion of the Work, an accounting shall be made between the Owner and the Contractor.

However, if such expense shall exceed such unpaid balance, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner.
