(b) The term "Contracting Officer" means the person executing this contract on behalf of the Government, and any other officer or civilian em- ployee who is a properly designated Contracting Officer; and the term includes, except as otherwise provided in this contract, the authorized repre- sentative of a Contracting Officer acting within the limits of his authority. (c) Except as otherwise provided in this con- tract, the term "subcontracts" includes purchase orders under this contract. 2. CHANGES (ASPR 7-103.2) (3an. 1958) The Contracting Officer may at any time, by a written order, and without notice to the sureties, make changes, within the general scope of this contract, in any one or more of the following: (i) Drawings, designs, or specifications, where the sup- plies to be furnished are to be specially manufac- tured for the Government in accordance therewith; (ii) method of shipment or packing; and (iii) place of delivery. If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of, or the time required for the performance of any part of the work under this contract, whether changed or not changed by any such order, an equitable adjustmnt shall be made in the contract price or delivery schedule, or both, and the contract shall be modified in writing accordingly. Any claim by the Contractor for ad- justment under this clause must be asserted within 30 days from th.e date of receipt by the Contractor of the notification of change: Provided, however, That the Contracting Officer, if he decides that the facts justify such action, may receive and act upon any such claim asserted at any time prior to final payment under this contract. Where the cost of property made obsolete or excess as a result of a change is included in the Contractor's claim for adjustment, the Contracting Officer shall have the right to prescribe the manner of disposition of such property.

However, nothing in this clause shall excuse the Contractor from proceeding with the contract as changed. [Rev. No. 28, 1/28/58; Rev. No. 30, 3/17/58.] 3. EXTRAS (ASPR 7-103.3) (July 1949) Except as otherwise provided in this contract, no payment for extras shall be made unless such extras and the price therefor have been authorized in writing by the Contracting Officer. 4.

(f) (1) The Contractor shall prornptly notify the Contracting Officer of all matters pertaining to Federal, State, and local taxes, a,nd duties, that reasonably may be expected to result in either an increase or decrease in the contract price.

(b) In the event the Government terminates this contract in whole or in part as provided in para- graph (a) of this clause, the Government may pro- cure, upon such terms and in such manner as the Contracting Officer may deem appropriate, supplies or services similar to those so terminated, and the Contractor shall be liable to the government for any excess costs for such similar supplies or serv- ices: Provided, That the Contracto~? shall continue the performance of this contract to the extent not terminated under the provisions oi' this clause. (c) Except with respect to defaults of subcon- tractors, the Contractor shall not be liable for any excess costs if the failure to perform the contract arises out of causes beyond the control and with- out the fault or negligence of the Contractor. Such causes may include, but are not restricted to, acts of God or of the public enemy, acts of the Govern- ment in either its sovereign or contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather; but in every case the failure to perform must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. If the failure to perform is caused by the default of a subcontractor, and. if such default arises out of causes beyond the control of both the Contractor and subcontractor, and without the fault or negligence of either of them, the Contractor shall nat be liable for any excess costs for failure to perform, unless the sup- plies or services to be furnished by the subcon- tractor were obtainable from other soarces in sufFi- cie:nt time to permit the Contractor to meet the re- quired delivery schedule. (d) If this contract is terminated as provided in paragraph (a) of this clause, the Government, in addition to any other rights provided in this clause, may require the Contractor to transfer title and de- live~r to the Government, in the manner and to the extent directed by the Contracting Officer, (i) any completed supplies, and (ii) such partially completed supplies and materials, parts, tools, dies, jig;., fixtures, plans, drawings, information, and contract rights (hereinafter called "manufacturing materials") as the Contractor has specifically pro- duced or specifically acquired for the performance of such part of this contract as has been termi- nated; and the Contractor shall, upon direction of the Contracting Officer, protect and preserve prop- erty in possession of the Contractor in which the Government has an interest.

Pay- ment for manufacturing materials delivered to and accepted by the Government and for the protection and preservation of property shall be in an amount agreed upon by the Contractor and the Contracting Ofli.cer; failure to agree to such amount shall be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the clause of this contract entitled "Dis- putes." The Government may withhold from amounts otherwise due the Contractor for such completed supplies or manufacturing materials such sum as the Contracting Officer determines to be necessary to protect the Government against loss because of outstanding liens or claims of for- mer lien holders.
