supplied to contractor by the recipient. If termination is for default, the recipient may fix the fee, if the
contract provides for a fee, to be paid to contractor in proportion to the value, if any, of work performed up to
the time of termination. Contractor shall promptly submit its termination claim to the recipient and the parties
shall negotiate the termination settlement to be paid to contractor. If termination is for the recipienYs
convenience, contractor shall be paid its contract close- out costs, and a fee, if the contract provided for
payment of a fee, in proportion to the work performed up to the time of termination.

work, or treat the termination as a termination for convenience.
