to justify such action, may, without prejudice to any right or remedy and after giving the Contractor and its surety, if any, seven
(7) days' written notice, terminate the employment of the Contractor and take possession of the site and may finish the Work by
whatever method it may deem expedient. In such case, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the
Work is finished.

34. Article 15 - Add the following as Article 15:
In connection with the Work that the Contractor will undertake under this Contract, it can be expected that certain secret and
confidential information will be furnished or made available to the Contractor by MedImmune, or will be developed by the Contractor
for MedImmune. Such information shall be treated by the Contractor as confidential and used solely in connection with the Work the
Contractor is to perform. The Contractor shall not use it for its own benefit and shall use all reasonable precautions to retain it
in confidence and prevent its disclosure to others.

Such information shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Contractor's employees, subcontractors, or agents who need such
information to be able to perform the Work to be done under this Contract.

To insure that this responsibility is met, the Contractor shall instruct all persons who engage in work under this Contract,
including but not limited to subcontractors, that they shall keep such information confidential regardless of whether their
relationship with the Contractor is terminated at some future time and, if MedImmune so requests, the Contractor agrees to have such
persons (including, but not limited to subcontractors) who engage in work under this Contract execute agreements in a form
acceptable to MedImmune to insure that such confidentiality is maintained.

The above restrictions shall not apply to any information which the Contractor can demonstrate was (a) part of the public knowledge
or literature, or already known to the Contractor on the date it was disclosed to the Contractor by MedImmune, or (b) subsequent to
the time of disclosure became part of the public knowledge or literature through no fault of the Contractor, or was rightfully
disclosed to the Contractor by a third party.
