so that the Government may coordinate with a Government Test Facility 
for the tests.

or select another unit for testing.  All costs related to these tests are

reserves the right to require an equitable adjustment of the contract 
price for any extension of the delivery Schedule, or for any additional 
costs to the Government related to these tests.

    (e)  If the Contractor fails to deliver the test unit on time, or

request from the Contractor, equitably adjust under the changes clause 
of this contract the delivery or performance dates and/or the contract 
price, any other contractual term affected by the delay.
