contractor,  or should the work be stopped  through act or neglect of MedImmune  for a period of fourteen  days, or

constitute a waiver of all claims by MedImmune,  other than those arising from unsettled  liens or from faulty work
appearing  thereafter,  as provided for under  "correction of work": and of all claims by the Contractor except any
claims  previously made and still  unsettled.  Payments  otherwise due may be withheld on account of defective work
not remedied,  liens filed,  damage by the Contractor to others not adjusted,  or failure by the Contractor to make
payments properly to subcontractors or for material or labor.
