contract documents.

may without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of the owner and after giving the
contractor and the contractor's surety, if any, seven days' written notice, terminate the
employment of the contractor and may
1. Take possession of the site and of all materials thereon owned by the contractor,
and
2. finish the work by whatever reasonable method the owner may deem expedient.

excess shall be paid to the contractor. If such costs exceed the unpaid balance, the
contractor shall pay the difference to the owner. This obligation for payment shall
survive termination of the contract.
