> III\. TERMINATION.

\(a\) The performance of work under this contract may be terminated by
the\
Government in accordance with this paragraph in whole, or from time to
time in\
part, whenever, (i) the Contracting Officer shall determine that any
such termination\
is for the best interests of the Government, or (ii) the student
voluntarily, or at the\
request of the Contractor, withdraws from any course or courses.
Whenever\
termination is effected pursuant to (i) above, the Contracting Officer
shall deliver to\

performance of\
work under this contract shall be terminated and the effective date of
such\
termination. Whenever termination is effected under (ii) above, the

Order, shall\
notify the Contractor of the effective date of his/her withdrawal and
upon receipt by\
the Contractor of any such notice, it shall discontinue all the work and
activity\

\(c\) In event of discontinuance or interruption of a student's
matriculation for\
any cause whatsoever the Contractor agrees to make proper refund of any\
unearned tuition and related fees for services contemplated but not
rendered.

IV\. TERMINATION IN THE EVENT OF REVISED PRICES. The consideration as\
set forth in each Order issued hereunder is based on the Contractor's
standard fees\
on the date of such Order. The contractor shall have the right to change
any or all\
fees for any succeeding semester after the first semester or period of
instruction\
upon written notices to the Government thirty (30) days prior to the
commencement\
of such semester, but in no event to a greater amount than that charged
for other\
students pursuing the same or similar course of instruction. In the
event of such\
notice, the Government shall have the option to accept or refuse the
revised fee\
basis. If the Government elects to refuse the revised fee basis, it may

satisfactory standing in the course in which he/she has enrolled or whom
the\
Contracting Officer, for any reason whatsoever, desires to remove from

time. In\
such event or in the event that the Contractor ejects any student for
breach of its\
regulation, the matter shall be treated as a partial termination and the
tuition for\
such student shall be computed in accordance with Article III hereof.

VII\. DISPUTES. Except as otherwise provided in this contract, any
disputes\
concerning a question of fact arising under this contract which is not
disposed of by\
agreement shall be decided by the Contracting Officer, who shall reduce
his/her\
decision to writing and mail or otherwise furnish a copy thereof to the
Contractor.\

appeal by\
mailing or otherwise furnishing to the Contracting Officer a written
appeal\
addressed to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the decision
of the\
Secretary of Health and Human Services or his/her duly authorized
representative\
for the hearing of such appeals shall be final and conclusive; provided,
that if no\
such appeal is taken, the decision of the Contracting Officer shall be
final and\
conclusive. In connection with any appeal proceeding under this clause,
the\
Contractor shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard and to offer
evidence in\
support of its appeal. Pending final decision of a dispute hereunder,
the Contractor\
shall proceed diligently with the performance of the contract and in
accordance with\
the Contracting Officer's decision.

no person or selling agency has been employed or retained to solicit or
secure this\
contract upon an agreement or understanding for a commission,
percentage,\
brokerage, or contingent fees, excepting bona fide employees or bona
fide\
established commercial or selling agencies maintained by the Contractor
for the\
purpose of securing business. For breach or violation of this warranty,
the\
Government shall have the right to annul this contract without liability
or at its\
discretion to deduct from the contract price or consideration the full
amount of such\
commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee.

IX\. OFFICIALS NOT TO BENEFIT. No member of or delegate to Congress, or\
resident commissioner, shall be admitted to any share or part of this
contract, or to\
any benefit that may arise therefrom; but this provision shall not be
construed to\
extend to this contract if made with a corporation for its general
benefit.

performance of this contract, the Contractor agrees not to discriminate
against any\
employee or applicant for employment because of race, creed, color, or
