the reference refers to that provision as amended or supplemented by other provisions of the
Design-Build Documents.



§ 7.7.2 Payments due and unpaid under the Design-Build Contract shall bear interest from the date

from time to time at the place where the Project is located.




(Insert rate of interest agreed upon, if any.)





			
	 
	**	 	percent (**) per annum




§ 7.7.3 Design-Builder hereby conditionally assigns to the Owner all rights of Design-Builder
under contracts, subcontracts, agreements, purchase orders, rental agreements or other arrangements
entered by Design-Builder in connection with the Work. If this Agreement is terminated by Owner in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement (excepting any termination for convenience of Owner),

arrangements as the Owner may elect.



§ 7.7.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Work or any designated
portion thereof falls more than ** behind the Construction Schedule approved by the Owner and

therefore and stating Design-Builder’s grounds for such objection.



§ 7.7.8 Owner has appointed Joseph J. Galeno, CCI, CPM, as its Development Manager to advise Owner
on the administration of this Agreement and the Work. The Development Manager is a consultant to

not be entitled to rely on any instructions or changes authorized by the Development Manager.

exemption and the procedures to enable Owner to implement such requirements. Owner shall indemnify
and hold Design-Builder harmless for all liability, penalty, interest, fine, tax assessment,

§ A.2.3 OWNER REVIEW AND INSPECTION



§ A.2.3.1 The Owner shall review and approve or take other appropriate action upon the
Design-Builder’s submittals, including but not limited to design and construction documents,
required by the Design-Build Documents, but only for the limited purpose of checking for
conformance with information given and the design concept expressed in the Design-Build Documents.
The Owner’s action shall be taken with such reasonable promptness as to cause no delay in the Work
or in the activities of the Design-Builder or separate contractors. Review of such submittals is
not conducted for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other details, such
as dimensions and quantities, or for substantiating instructions for installation or performance of
equipment or systems, all of which remain the responsibility of the Design-Builder as required by
the Design-Build Documents.



§ A.2.3.2 Upon review of the design documents, construction documents, or other submittals required
by the Design-Build Documents, the Owner shall take one of the following actions:





	 	.1	 	Determine that the documents or submittals are in conformance with the
Design-Build Documents and approve them.
	 
	 	.2	 	Determine that the documents or submittals are in conformance with the
Design-Build Documents but request changes in the documents or submittals which shall
be implemented by a Change in the Work.
	 
	 	.3	 	Determine that the documents or submittals are not in conformity with the
Design-Build Documents and reject them.
	 
	 	.4	 	Determine that the documents or submittals are not in conformity with the
Design-Build Documents, but accept them by implementing a Change in the Work.
	 
	 	.5	 	Determine that the documents or submittals are not in conformity with the
Design-Build Documents, but accept them and request changes in the documents or
submittals which shall be implemented by a Change in the Work.




§ A.2.3.3 The Design-Builder shall submit to the Owner for the Owner’s approval, pursuant to
Section A.2.3.1, any proposed change or deviation to previously approved documents or submittals.
The Owner shall review each proposed change or deviation to previously approved documents or
submittals which the Design-Builder submits to the Owner for the Owner’s approval with reasonable
promptness in accordance with Section A.2.3.1 and shall make one of the determinations described in
Section A.2.3.2.



§ A.2.3.4 Notwithstanding the Owner’s responsibility under Section A.2.3.2, the Owner’s review and
approval of the Design-Builder’s documents or submittals shall not relieve the Design-Builder of
responsibility for compliance with the Design-Build Documents unless a) the Design-Builder has
notified the Owner in writing of the deviation prior to approval by the Owner or, b) the Owner has
approved a Change in the Work reflecting any deviations from the requirements of the Design-Build
Documents. In addition, in no event shall Owner’s approval of any documents be deemed a
representation that Design-Builder’s documents or submittals comply with applicable laws and
regulations.



§ A.2.3.5 The Owner may visit the site to keep informed about the progress and quality of the
portion of the Work completed. However, the Owner shall not be required to make exhaustive or
continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work. Visits by the Owner
shall not be construed to create an obligation on the part of the Owner to make on-site inspections
to check the quantity or quality of the Work. The Owner shall neither have control over or charge
of, nor be responsible for, the construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures,
or for the safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work, since these are solely the
Design-Builder’s rights and responsibilities under the Design-Build Documents, except as provided
in Section A.3.3.7.



§ A.2.3.6 The Owner shall not be responsible for the Design-Builder’s failure to perform the Work
in accordance with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents. The Owner shall not have control
over or charge of and will not be responsible for acts or omissions of the Design-Builder,
Architect, Contractors, or their agents or employees, or any other persons or entities performing
portions of the Work for the Design-Builder.



§ A.2.3.7 The Owner may reject Work that does not conform to the Design-Build Documents. Whenever
the Owner considers it necessary or advisable, the Owner shall have authority to require inspection
or testing of the Work in accordance with Section A.13.5.2, whether or not such Work is fabricated,
installed or completed. However, neither
this authority of the Owner nor a decision made in good
faith either to exercise or not to exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or
responsibility of the Owner to the Design-Builder, the Architect, Contractors, material and
equipment suppliers, their agents or employees, or other persons or entities performing portions of
the Work.

in accordance with the Design-Build Documents in any material respect, the Owner may issue a
written order to the Design-Builder to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for
such order has been eliminated; however, the right of the Owner to stop the Work shall not give
rise to a duty on the part of the Owner to exercise this right for the benefit of the
Design-Builder or any other person or entity, except to the extent required by Section A.6.1.3.




§ A.2.5 OWNER’S RIGHT TO CARRY OUT THE WORK



§ A.2.5.1 If the Design-Builder defaults or neglects to carry out the Work in accordance with the

the Owner may after such seven-day period give the Design-Builder a second written notice to
correct such deficiencies within a three-day period. If the Design-Builder within such three-day
period after receipt of such second notice fails to commence and continue to correct any
deficiencies, the Owner may, without prejudice to other remedies the Owner may have, correct such
deficiencies. In such case, an appropriate Change Order shall be issued deducting from payments

§ A.3.3 CONSTRUCTION



§ A.3.3.1 The Design-Builder shall perform no construction Work prior to the Owner’s review and
approval of the construction documents. The Design-Builder shall perform no portion of the Work for
which the Design-Build Documents require the Owner’s review of submittals, such as Shop Drawings,
Product Data and Samples, until the Owner has approved each submittal.



§ A.3.3.2 The construction Work shall be in accordance with approved submittals, except that the
Design-Builder shall not be relieved of responsibility for deviations from requirements of the
Design-Build Documents by the Owner’s approval of design and construction documents or other
submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or other submittals unless the
Design-Builder has specifically informed the Owner in writing of such deviation at the time of
submittal and (1) the Owner has given written approval to the specific deviation as a minor change
in the Work, or (2) a Change Order or Construction Change Directive has been issued authorizing the
deviation. The Design-Builder shall not be relieved of responsibility for errors or omissions in
design and construction documents or other submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples
or other submittals by the Owner’s approval thereof.



§ A.3.3.3 The Design-Builder shall direct specific attention, in writing or on resubmitted design
and construction documents or other submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or
similar submittals, to revisions other than those requested by the Owner on previous submittals. In
the absence of such written notice, the Owner’s approval of a resubmission shall not apply to such
revisions.



§ A.3.3.4 When the Design-Build Documents require that a Contractor provide professional design
services or certifications related to systems, materials or equipment, or when the Design-Builder
in its discretion provides such design services or certifications through a Contractor, the
Design-Builder shall cause professional design services or certifications to be provided by a
properly licensed design professional, whose signature and seal shall appear on all drawings,
calculations, specifications, certifications, Shop Drawings and other submittals prepared by such
professional. Shop Drawings and other submittals related to the Work designed or certified by such
professionals, if prepared by others, shall bear such design professional’s written approval. The
Owner shall be entitled to rely upon the adequacy, accuracy and completeness of the services,
certifications or approvals performed by such design professionals.



§ A.3.3.5 The Design-Builder shall be solely responsible for and have control over all construction
means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures and for coordinating all portions of the Work
under the Design-Build Documents.



§ A.3.3.6 The Design-Builder shall keep the Owner informed of the progress and quality of the Work.



§ A.3.3.7 The Design-Builder shall be responsible for the supervision and direction of the Work,
using the Design-Builder’s best skill and attention. If the Design-Build Documents give specific
instructions concerning construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures (including
without limitation safety programs), the Design-Builder shall evaluate the jobsite safety thereof
and, except as stated below, shall be fully and solely responsible for the jobsite safety of such
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. If the Design-Builder determines that such
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures may not be safe, the Design-Builder shall give
timely written notice to the Owner and shall not proceed with that portion of the Work without
further written instructions from the Owner. If the Design-Builder is then instructed to proceed
with the required means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures without acceptance of changes
proposed by the Design-Builder, the Owner shall be solely responsible for any resulting loss or
damage.



§ A.3.3.8 The Design-Builder shall be responsible for inspection of portions of Work already
performed to determine that such portions are in proper condition to receive subsequent Work.



§ A.3.3.9 The Design-Builder is responsible for ensuring that the Work will be completed in
accordance with the Project Schedule and in connection therewith shall ensure that all material
suppliers, Contractors and Subcontractors
and their agents, and employees (1) adhere to the
Contract Documents; (2) order materials on time, taking into consideration current market and
delivery conditions; and (3) provide materials on time, taking into consideration current market
and delivery conditions. The Design-Builder shall inspect all materials delivered to the site and
shall reject all materials which will not conform with the Contract Documents when properly
installed and the Design-Builder shall also coordinate its Work with that of all others on the
Project including, but not limited to, coordinating deliveries, storage and installations, and use
of all construction utilities. The Design-Builder shall be responsible for the space requirements,
location and routing of its equipment. In areas and locations where the proper and most effective
space requirements, locations and routing cannot be made as indicated, the Design-Builder shall
meet with all others involved before installation to plan the most effective and efficient method
of overall installation.

§ A.3.3.10 The Design-Builder shall give notices and comply with applicable laws, ordinances,
rules, regulations and lawful orders of public authorities bearing on the Work, including those
with respect to the safety of persons and property and their protection from damages, injury or
loss and shall coordinate any and all inspections required by governmental authorities. The
Contractor shall promptly remedy damage and loss to property at the site caused in whole or in part
by the Design-Builder, its Contractors, Subcontractors, or anyone directly or indirectly employed
by any of them or by anyone for whose acts they may be liable, except for damage or loss
attributable solely to acts or omissions of the Owner or Development Manager or by anyone for whose
acts any of them may be liable and not attributable to the fault or negligence of the
Design-Builder, its Contractors, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by them. The foregoing
obligations of the Design-Builder are in addition to the Design-Builder’s obligations under other
provisions hereunder.



§ A.3.3.11 If any of the Work is required to be inspected or approved by any public authority, the
Design-Builder shall cause such inspection or approval to be performed and shall coordinate such
inspections with progress of the Work as necessary to avoid delays in issuance of the final
certificates of occupancy and Project Closeout (as defined in the Agreement). No inspection
performed or failed to be performed by the Owner or Development Manager hereunder shall be a waiver
of any of the Design-Builder’s obligations hereunder or be construed as an approval or acceptance
of the Work or any part thereof.



§ A.3.3.12 The Design-Builder shall establish and maintain benchmarks and all other grades, lines
and levels necessary for the Work report errors or inconsistencies to the Owner and Development
Manager before commencing work. The Design-Builder shall provide access to the Work for Owner,
Development Manager and other persons designated by the Owner, and governmental inspectors. Any
encroachments made by the Design-Builder, Contractors or Subcontractors on adjacent properties
caused by construction, except for encroachments arising from errors or omissions not reasonably
discoverable by the Design-Builder in the Contract Documents, shall be the sole responsibility of
the Design-Builder, and the Design-Builder shall correct such encroachments within thirty (30) days
of the improvement survey (or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible), at the Design-Builder’s
sole cost and expense, either by the removal of the encroachment (and subsequent reconstruction of
the Project site), or agreement with Owner (in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner in its
sole discretion) allowing the encroachments to remain.



§ A.3.3.13 Where the Design-Build Documents refer to particular construction means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures or indicate or imply that such are to be used in the Work, such
mention is intended only to indicate that the operations of the Design-Builder shall be such as to
produce at least the quality of Work implied by the operations described, but the actual
determination of whether or not the described operations may be safely and suitably employed on the
Work shall be the responsibility of the Design-Builder, who shall notify the Owner and Development
Manager in writing of the actual means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures which will be
employed on the Work, if these differ from those mentioned in the Design-Build Documents. All
loss, damage or liability, or cost of correcting defective Work arising from the employment of any
construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures referred to, indicated or implied
by the Design-Build Documents, shall be borne by the Design-Builder, unless the Design-Builder has
given timely notice to the Owner and Development Manager in writing that such means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures are not safe or suitable and the Design-Builder has then been
instructed in writing to proceed at the Owner’s risk.



§ A.3.3.14 All Work shall be set or laid out on the premises by Design-Builder, who will be held
responsible for its correctness. If there is any discrepancy between actual lines and levels in
drawings, Design-Builder shall notify Owner and Development Manager in writing, describing such
discrepancy, and shall not proceed with any work affected thereby until written instructions are
received from the Owner.

§ A.3.11.3 Samples are physical examples that illustrate materials, equipment or workmanship and
establish standards by which the Work will be judged.



§ A.3.11.4 Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar submittals are not Design-Build
Documents. The purpose of their submittal is to demonstrate for those portions of the Work for
which submittals are required by the Design-Build Documents the way by which the Design-Builder
proposes to conform to the Design-Build Documents.



§ A.3.11.5 The Design-Builder shall review for compliance with the Design-Build Documents and
approve and submit to the Owner only those Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar

§ A.3.11.6 By approving and submitting Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar submittals,
the Design-Builder represents that the Design-Builder has determined and verified materials, field
measurements and field construction criteria related thereto, or will do so, and has checked and
coordinated the information contained within such submittals with the requirements of the Work and
of the Design-Build Documents.



§ A.3.11.7 Submittals shall not be used as a substitution for Change Orders, the substitution of
materials or manufacturer or other procedures required by the Contract Documents and shall not
constitute approval or authorization for change in the Contract Documents which change may be made
only through an approved Change Order or directive in accordance with the Contract.




§ A.3.12 USE OF SITE

§ A.3.13.1 The Design-Builder shall be responsible for cutting, fitting or patching required to
complete the Work or to make its parts fit together properly.



§ A.3.13.2 The Design-Builder shall not damage or endanger a portion of the Work or fully or
partially completed construction of the Owner or separate contractors by cutting, patching or
otherwise altering such construction or by excavation. The Design-Builder shall not cut or
otherwise alter such construction by the Owner or a separate contractor except with written consent
of the Owner and of such separate contractor; such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
Design-Builder shall not unreasonably withhold from the Owner or a separate contractor the
Design-Builder’s consent to cutting or otherwise altering the Work.



§ A.3.13.3 The Design-Builder shall locate, protect and save from injury utilities of all kinds,
either above or below grade, inside or outside of any structure, found in the areas affected by its
work. The Design-Builder shall be responsible for all damage caused to such utility by the
operation of equipment, or delivery of materials, or as the direct or indirect result of any of its
work and shall repair all such damages at its expense and as part of the work included in the
Contract Documents. The Contractor shall not be entitled to any increase in the Cost of the Work
or the Contract Time on account of such damage to any utility.




§ A.3.14 CLEANING UP



§ A.3.14.1 The Design-Builder shall keep the premises and surrounding area free from accumulation
of waste materials or rubbish caused by operations under the Design-Build Contract. At completion
of the Work, the Design-Builder shall remove from and about the Project waste materials, rubbish,
the Design-Builder’s tools, construction equipment, machinery and surplus materials.



§ A.3.14.2 If the Design-Builder fails to clean up as provided in the Design-Build Documents, the
Owner may do so and the cost thereof shall be charged to the Design-Builder.

suffer by reason of the Indemnitors’ failure to work in accordance with any requirement or
provision of this Contract, OSHA or Owner, provided that such claim, damage, loss or expense is
attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death or to injury to or destruction of
tangible property other than the Work itself, but only to the extent caused by the negligent acts
or omissions of the Indemnitor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them or anyone for whose
acts they may be liable, regardless of whether or not such claim, damage, loss or expense is caused
in part by a party indemnified hereunder. Such obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge
or reduce other rights or obligations of indemnity that would otherwise exist as to a party or
person described in this Section A.3.17.



§ A.3.17.2 In claims against any person or entity indemnified under this Section A.3.17 by an
employee of the Design-Builder, the Architect, a Contractor, a Subcontractor, anyone directly or
indirectly employed by them or anyone for whose acts they may be liable, the indemnification
obligation under Section A.3.17.1 shall not be limited by a limitation on amount or type of
damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for the Design-Builder, the Architect or a
Contractor or a Subcontractor under workers’ compensation acts, disability benefit acts or other
employee benefit acts.



§ A.3.17.3 The provisions of paragraphs A.3.16 and A.3.17 shall survive substantial and final
completion of the Work, and the termination or expiration of this Contract and no payment or
partial payment, nor the issuance of any certificate of substantial completions, shall waive or
release any rights afforded by this Section A.3.17.




ARTICLE A.4 DISPUTE RESOLUTION


§ A.4.1 CLAIMS AND DISPUTES



§ A.4.1.1 Definition. A Claim is a demand or assertion by one of the parties seeking, as a matter
of right, adjustment or interpretation of Design-Build Contract terms, payment of money, extension
of time or other relief with respect to the terms of the Design-Build Contract. The term “Claim”
also includes other disputes and matters in question between the Owner and Design-Builder arising
out of or relating to the Design-Build Contract. Claims must be initiated by written notice. The
responsibility to substantiate Claims shall rest with the party making the Claim.

§ A.4.1.2 Time Limits on Claims. Claims by either party must be initiated within 21 days after
occurrence of the event giving rise to such Claim or within 21 days after the claimant first
recognizes the condition giving rise to the Claim, whichever is later. Claims must be initiated by
written notice to the other party.



§ A.4.1.3 Continuing Performance. Pending final resolution of a Claim, except as otherwise agreed
in writing or as provided in Section A.9.7.1 and Article A.14, the Design-Builder shall proceed
diligently with performance of the Design-Build Contract and the Owner shall continue to make
payments in accordance with the Design-Build Documents.



§ A.4.1.4 Claims for Concealed or Unknown Conditions. If conditions are encountered at the site
which are (1) subsurface or otherwise concealed physical conditions which differ materially from
those indicated in the Design-Build Documents or (2) unknown physical conditions of an unusual
nature which differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally recognized as
inherent in construction activities of the character provided for in the Design-Build Documents,
then the observing party shall give notice to the other party (with copies to the Development
Manager) promptly before conditions are disturbed and in no event later than 21 days after first
observance of the conditions. The Owner or development manager shall promptly investigate such
conditions and, if they differ materially and cause an increase or decrease in the Design-Builder’s
cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, shall negotiate with the
Design-Builder an equitable adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, or both. If the Owner
determines that the conditions at the site are not materially different from those indicated in the
Design-Build Documents and that no change in the terms of the Design-Build Contract is justified,
the Owner or development manager shall so notify the Design-Builder in writing, stating the
reasons. Claims by the Design-Builder in opposition to such determination must be made within 21
days after the Owner has given notice of the decision. If the conditions encountered are materially
different, the Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be equitably adjusted, but if the Owner and
Design-Builder cannot agree on an adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, the adjustment
shall proceed pursuant to Section A.4.2. All claims for delay arising from such conditions shall
be barred if notice is not given within such twenty one (21) day period, and a claim made within
seven (7) days thereafter.



§ A.4.1.5 Claims for Additional Cost. If the Design-Builder wishes to make Claim for an increase in
the Contract Sum, written notice as provided herein shall be given before proceeding to execute the
Work. Prior notice is not required for Claims relating to an emergency endangering life or property
arising under Section A.10.6.



§ A.4.1.6 If the Design-Builder believes additional cost is involved for reasons including but not
limited to (1) an order by the Owner to stop the Work where the Design-Builder was not at fault,
(2) a written order for the Work issued by the Owner, (3) failure of payment by the Owner, (4)
termination of the Design-Build Contract by the Owner, (5) Owner’s suspension or (6) other
reasonable grounds, Claim shall be filed in accordance with this Section A.4.1.




§ A.4.1.7 Claims for Additional Time



§ A.4.1.7.1 If the Design-Builder wishes to make Claim for an increase in the Contract Time,
written notice as provided herein shall be given. The Design-Builder’s Claim shall include an
estimate of the time and its effect on the progress of the Work. In the case of a continuing delay,
only one Claim is necessary. Claim for delay may only be made if delay adversely affects the
critical path of the Design-Builder’s schedule and adversely affects a portion of the Work that
must be completed as scheduled to avoid delay to the substantial completion of the Work as a whole.



§ A.4.1.7.2 If adverse weather conditions are the basis for a Claim for additional time, such Claim
shall be documented by data substantiating that weather conditions were abnormal for the period of
time, could not have been reasonably anticipated and had an adverse effect on the scheduled
construction.



§ A.4.1.7.3 Extensions of time will not be granted for delays caused by inadequate construction
forces, or the failure of the Design-Builder to place orders for equipment or materials
sufficiently in advance to ensure delivery when needed.



§ A.4.1.8 Injury or Damage to Person or Property. If either party to the Design-Build Contract
suffers injury or damage to person or property because of an act or omission of the other party or
of others for whose acts such party is legally responsible, written notice of such injury or
damage, whether or not insured, shall be given to the other party within
a reasonable time not
exceeding 21 days after discovery. The notice shall provide sufficient detail to enable the other
party to investigate the matter.

§ A.4.1.9 If unit prices are stated in the Design-Build Documents or subsequently agreed upon, and
if quantities originally contemplated are materially changed in a proposed Change Order or
Construction Change Directive so that application of such unit prices to quantities of Work
proposed will cause substantial inequity to the Owner or Design-Builder, the applicable unit prices
shall be equitably adjusted.



§ A.4.1.10 Claims for Consequential Damages. Design-Builder and Owner waive Claims against each
other for consequential damages arising out of or relating to the Design-Build Contract. This
mutual waiver includes:





	 	.1	 	damages incurred by the Owner for rental expenses, for losses of use, income,
profit, financing, business and reputation, and for loss of management or employee
productivity or of the services of such persons; and
	 
	 	.2	 	damages incurred by the Design-Builder for principal office expenses including
the compensation of personnel stationed there, for losses of financing, business and
reputation, and for loss of profit except anticipated profit arising directly from the
Work.




This mutual waiver is applicable, without limitation, to all consequential damages due to either
party’s termination in accordance with Article A.14. Nothing contained in this Section A.4.1.10
shall be deemed to preclude an award of liquidated direct damages, when applicable, in accordance
with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents.



§ A.4.1.11 If the enactment or revision of codes, laws or regulations or official interpretations
which govern the Project cause an increase or decrease of the Design-Builder’s cost of, or time
required for, performance of the Work, the Design-Builder shall be entitled to an equitable
adjustment in Contract Sum or Contract Time. If the Owner and Design-Builder cannot agree upon an
adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, the Design-Builder shall submit a Claim pursuant
to Section A.4.1.




§ A.4.2 RESOLUTION OF CLAIMS AND DISPUTES



§ A.4.2.1 Decision by Neutral. If the parties have identified a Neutral in Section 6.1 of the
Agreement or elsewhere in the Design-Build Documents, then Claims, excluding those arising under
Sections A.10.3 through A.10.5, shall be referred initially to the Neutral for decision. An initial
decision by the Neutral shall be required as a condition precedent to mediation of all Claims
between the Owner and Design-Builder arising prior to the date final payment is due, unless 30 days
have passed after the Claim has been referred to the Neutral with no decision having been rendered
by the Neutral. Unless the Neutral and all affected parties agree, the Neutral will not decide
disputes between the Design-Builder and persons or entities other than the Owner.



§ A.4.2.2 Decision by Owner. If the parties have not identified a Neutral in Section 6.1 of the
Agreement or elsewhere in the Design-Build Documents then, except for those claims arising under
Sections A.10.3 and A.10.5, the Owner shall provide an initial decision. An initial decision by the
Owner shall be required as a condition precedent to mediation of all Claims between the Owner and
Design-Builder arising prior to the date final payment is due, unless 30 days have passed after the
Claim has been referred to the Owner with no decision having been rendered by the Owner.



§ A.4.2.3 The initial decision pursuant to Sections A.4.2.1 and A.4.2.2 shall be in writing, shall
state the reasons therefore and shall notify the parties of any change in the Contract Sum or
Contract Time or both. The initial decision shall be final and binding on the parties but subject
first to mediation under Section A.4.3 and thereafter to such other dispute resolution methods as
provided in Section 6.2 of the Agreement or elsewhere in the Design-Build Documents.



§ A.4.2.4 In the event of a Claim against the Design-Builder, the Owner may, but is not obligated
to, notify the surety, if any, of the nature and amount of the Claim. If the Claim relates to a
possibility of a Design-Builder’s default, the Owner may, but is not obligated to, notify the
surety and request the surety’s assistance in resolving the controversy.



§ A.4.2.5 If a Claim relates to or is the subject of a mechanic’s lien, the party asserting such
Claim may proceed in accordance with applicable law to comply with the lien notice or filing
deadlines prior to initial resolution of the Claim.

§ A.4.3 MEDIATION



§ A.4.3.1 Any Claim arising out of or related to the Design-Build Contract, except those waived as
provided for in Sections A.4.1.10, A.9.10.4 and A.9.10.5, shall, after initial decision of the
Claim or 30 days after submission of the Claim for initial decision, be subject to mediation as a
condition precedent to arbitration or the institution of legal or equitable or other binding
dispute resolution proceedings by either party.



§ A.4.3.2 The parties shall endeavor to resolve their Claims by mediation which, unless the parties
mutually agree otherwise, shall be in accordance with the Construction Industry Mediation Rules of
the American Arbitration Association currently in effect at the time of the mediation. Request for
mediation shall be filed in writing with the other party to the Design-Build Contract and with the
American Arbitration Association. The request may be made concurrently with the filing of a demand
for arbitration or other binding dispute resolution proceedings but, in such event, mediation shall
proceed in advance thereof or of legal or equitable proceedings, which shall be stayed pending
mediation for a period of 60 days from the date of filing, unless stayed for a longer period by
agreement of the parties or court order.



§ A.4.3.3 The parties shall share the mediator’s fee and any filing fees equally. The mediation
shall be held in the place where the Project is located, unless another location is mutually agreed
upon. Agreements reached in mediation shall be enforceable as settlement agreements in any court
having jurisdiction thereof.




§ A.4.4 ARBITRATION



§ A.4.4.1 Claims, except those waived as provided for in Sections A.4.1.10, A.9.10.4 and A.9.10.5,
for which initial decisions have not become final and binding, and which have not been resolved by
mediation but which are subject to arbitration pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.3 of the Agreement or
elsewhere in the Design-Build Documents, shall be decided by arbitration which, unless the parties
mutually agree otherwise, shall be in accordance with the Construction Industry Arbitration Rules
of the American Arbitration Association currently in effect at the time of the arbitration. The
demand for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other party to the Design-Build Contract
and with the American Arbitration Association. The parties agree that any award issued by the
American Arbitration Association shall be a reasoned award and provide, in writing, an explanation
of any finding and rulings contained in the award.



§ A.4.4.2 A demand for arbitration may be made no earlier than concurrently with the filing of a
request for mediation, but in no event shall it be made after the date when institution of legal or
equitable proceedings based on such Claim would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations
as determined pursuant to Section A.13.6.



§ A.4.4.3 An arbitration pursuant to this Section A.4.4 may be joined with an arbitration involving
common issues of law or fact between the Owner or Design-Builder and any person or entity with whom
the Owner or Design-Builder has a contractual obligation to arbitrate disputes which does not
prohibit consolidation or joinder. No other arbitration arising out of or relating to the
Design-Build Contract shall include, by consolidation, joinder or in any other manner, an
additional person or entity not a party to the Design-Build Contract or not a party to an agreement
with the Owner or Design-Builder, except by written consent containing a specific reference to the
Design-Build Contract signed by the Owner and Design-Builder and any other person or entities
sought to be joined. Consent to arbitration involving an additional person or entity shall not
constitute consent to arbitration of any claim, dispute or other matter in question not described
in the written consent or with a person or entity not named or described therein. The foregoing
agreement to arbitrate and other agreements to arbitrate with an additional person or entity duly
consented to by the parties to the Agreement shall be specifically enforceable in accordance with
applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Design-Builder shall include an arbitration provision in all contracts it enters into with
Contractors.



§ A.4.4.4 Claims and Timely Assertion of Claims. The party filing a notice of demand for
arbitration must assert in the demand all Claims then known to that party on which arbitration is
permitted to be demanded.



§ A.4.4.5 Judgment on Final Award. The award rendered by the arbitrator or arbitrators shall be
final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable law in any court having
jurisdiction thereof.

ARTICLE A.5 AWARD OF CONTRACTS



§ A.5.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Design-Build Documents or the bidding or proposal
requirements, the Design-Builder, as soon as practicable after award of the Design-Build Contract,
shall furnish in writing to the Owner the names of additional persons or entities not originally
included in the Design-Builder’s proposal or in substitution of a person or entity (including those
who are to furnish design services or materials or equipment fabricated to a special design)
proposed for each principal portion of the Work. The Owner will promptly reply to the
Design-Builder in writing stating whether or not the Owner has reasonable objection to any such
proposed additional person or entity. Failure of the Owner to reply promptly shall constitute
notice of no reasonable objection. The Owner shall have the right to investigate any proposed
Contractor or material supplier, but shall have no duty to do so.



§ A.5.2 The Design-Builder shall not contract with a proposed person or entity to whom which the
Owner has made reasonable and timely objection. The Design-Builder shall not be required to
contract with anyone to whom the Design-Builder has made reasonable objection.



§ A.5.3 If the Owner (in consultation with Development Manager) has reasonable objection to a
person or entity proposed by the Design-Builder, the Design-Builder shall propose another to whom
the Owner has no reasonable objection. If the proposed but rejected additional person or entity was
reasonably capable of performing the Work, the Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be increased or
decreased by the difference, if any, occasioned by such change, and an appropriate Change Order
shall be issued before commencement of the substitute person’s or entity’s Work. However, no
increase in the Contract Sum or Contract Time shall be allowed for such change unless the
Design-Builder has acted promptly and responsively in submitting names as required.



§ A.5.4 The Design-Builder shall not change a person or entity previously selected if the Owner
makes reasonable objection to such substitute.




§ A.5.5 CONTINGENT ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACTS



§ A.5.5.1 Each agreement for a portion of the Work is assigned by the Design-Builder to the Owner
provided that:





	 	.1	 	assignment is effective only after termination of the Design-Build Contract by
the Owner for cause pursuant to Section A.14.2 and only for those agreements which the
Owner accepts by notifying the contractor in writing; and
	 
	 	.2	 	assignment is subject to the prior rights of the surety, if any, obligated
under bond relating to the Design-Build Contract.




§ A.5.5.2 Upon such assignment, if the Work has been suspended for more than 30 days, the
Contractor’s compensation shall be equitably adjusted for increases in cost resulting from the
suspension.




ARTICLE A.6 CONSTRUCTION BY OWNER OR BY SEPARATE CONTRACTORS


§ A.6.1 OWNER’S RIGHT TO PERFORM CONSTRUCTION AND TO AWARD SEPARATE CONTRACTS



§ A.6.1.1 The Owner reserves the right to perform construction or operations related to the Project
with the Owner’s own forces and to award separate contracts in connection with other portions of
the Project or other construction or operations on the site. The Design-Builder shall cooperate
with the Owner and separate contractors whose work might interfere with the Design-Builder’s Work.
If the Design-Builder claims that delay or additional cost is involved because of such action by
the Owner, the Design-Builder shall make such Claim as provided in Section A.4.1.



§ A.6.1.2 The term “separate contractor” shall mean any contractor retained by the Owner pursuant
to Section A.6.1.1.



§ A.6.1.3 The Owner shall provide for coordination of the activities of the Owner’s own forces and
of each separate contractor with the work of the Design-Builder, who shall cooperate with them. The
Design-Builder shall participate with other separate contractors and the Owner in reviewing their
construction schedules when directed to do so. The Design-Builder shall make any revisions to the
construction schedule deemed necessary after a joint review and mutual agreement. The construction
schedules shall then constitute the schedules to be used by the Design-Builder, separate
contractors and the Owner until subsequently revised.

§ A.6.2 MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY



§ A.6.2.1 The Design-Builder shall afford the Owner and separate contractors reasonable opportunity
for introduction and storage of their materials and equipment and performance of their activities
and shall connect and coordinate the Design-Builder’s construction and operations with theirs as
required by the Design-Build Documents.



§ A.6.2.2 If part of the Design-Builder’s Work depends for proper execution or results upon design,
construction or operations by the Owner or a separate contractor, the Design-Builder shall, prior
to proceeding with that portion of the Work, promptly report to the Owner apparent discrepancies or
defects in such other construction that would render it unsuitable for such proper execution and
results. Failure of the Design-Builder so to report shall constitute an acknowledgment that the
Owner’s or separate contractor’s completed or partially completed construction is fit and proper to
receive the Design-Builder’s Work, except as to defects not then reasonably discoverable.



§ A.6.2.3 The Owner shall be reimbursed by the Design-Builder for costs incurred by the Owner which
are payable to a separate contractor because of delays, improperly timed activities or defective
construction of the Design-Builder. The Owner shall be responsible to the Design-Builder for costs
incurred by the Design-Builder because of delays, improperly timed activities, damage to the Work
or defective construction of a separate contractor.



§ A.6.2.4 The Design-Builder shall promptly remedy damage wrongfully caused by the Design-Builder
to completed or partially completed construction or to property of the Owner or separate
contractors.



§ A.6.2.5 The Owner and each separate contractor shall have the same responsibilities for cutting
and patching as are described in Section A.3.13.




§ A.6.3 OWNER’S RIGHT TO CLEAN UP



§ A.6.3.1 If a dispute arises among the Design-Builder, separate contractors and the Owner as to
the responsibility under their respective contracts for maintaining the premises and surrounding
area free from waste materials and rubbish, the Owner may clean up and the Owner shall allocate the
cost among those responsible.




ARTICLE A.7 CHANGES IN THE WORK


§ A.7.1 GENERAL



§ A.7.1.1 Changes in the Work may be accomplished after execution of the Design-Build Contract, and
without invalidating the Design-Build Contract, by Change Order or Construction Change Directive,
subject to the limitations stated in this Article A.7 and elsewhere in the Design-Build Documents.
All requests by Design-Builder for a Change Order shall be made to both Owner and Development
Manager, so that Development Manager can advise Owner about the proposed Change Order.



§ A.7.1.2 A Change Order shall be based upon agreement between the Owner and Design-Builder. A
Construction Change Directive may be issued by the Owner with or without agreement by the
Design-Builder.



§ A.7.1.3 Changes in the Work shall be performed under applicable provisions of the Design-Build
Documents, and the Design-Builder shall proceed promptly, unless otherwise provided in the Change
Order or Construction Change Directive.




§ A.7.2 CHANGE ORDERS



§ A.7.2.1 A Change Order is a written instrument signed by the Owner and Design-Builder stating
their agreement upon all of the following:





	 	.1	 	a change in the Work;
	 
	 	.2	 	the amount of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum; and
	 
	 	.3	 	the extent of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Time.




§ A.7.2.2 If the Owner requests a proposal for a change in the Work from the Design-Builder and
subsequently elects not to proceed with the change, a Change Order shall be issued to reimburse the
Design-Builder for any costs incurred for estimating services, design services or preparation of
proposed revisions to the Design-Build Documents.



§ A.7.2.3 Methods used in determining adjustments to the Contract Sum shall include those listed in
Section A.7.3.3.

§ A.7.3 CONSTRUCTION CHANGE DIRECTIVES



§ A.7.3.1 A Construction Change Directive is a written order signed by the Owner directing a change
in the Work prior to agreement on adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, or
both. The Owner may by Construction Change Directive, without invalidating the Design-Build
Contract, order changes in the Work within the general scope of the Design-Build Documents
consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, the Contract Sum and Contract Time being
adjusted accordingly.



§ A.7.3.2 A Construction Change Directive shall be used in the absence of total agreement on the
terms of a Change Order.



§ A.7.3.3 If the Construction Change Directive provides for an adjustment to the Contract Sum, the
adjustment shall be based on one of the following methods:





	 	.1	 	mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient
substantiating data to permit evaluation;
	 
	 	.2	 	unit prices stated in the Design-Build Documents or subsequently agreed upon,
or equitably adjusted as provided in Section A.4.1.9;
	 
	 	.3	 	cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by the parties and a mutually
acceptable fixed or percentage fee; or
	 
	 	.4	 	as provided in Section A.7.3.6.




§ A.7.3.4 Upon receipt of a Construction Change Directive, the Design-Builder shall promptly
proceed with the change in the Work involved and advise the Owner of the Design-Builder’s agreement
or disagreement with the method, if any, provided in the Construction Change Directive for
determining the proposed adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time.



§ A.7.3.5 A Construction Change Directive signed by the Design-Builder indicates the agreement of
the Design-Builder therewith, including adjustment in Contract Sum and Contract Time or the method
for determining them. Such agreement shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded as a
Change Order.



§ A.7.3.6 If the Design-Builder does not respond promptly or disagrees with the method for
adjustment in the Contract Sum, the method and the adjustment shall be determined by the Owner on
the basis of reasonable expenditures and savings of those performing the Work attributable to the
change, including, in case of an increase in the Contract Sum, a reasonable allowance for overhead
and profit. In such case, and also under Section A.7.3.3.3, the Design-Builder shall keep and
present, in such form as the Owner may prescribe, an itemized accounting together with appropriate
supporting data. Unless otherwise provided in the Design-Build Documents, costs for the purposes of
this Section A.7.3.6 shall be limited to the following:





	 	.1	 	additional costs of professional services;
	 
	 	.2	 	costs of labor, including social security, old age and unemployment insurance,
fringe benefits required by agreement or custom, and workers’ compensation insurance;
	 
	 	.3	 	costs of materials, supplies and equipment, including cost of transportation,
whether incorporated or consumed;
	 
	 	.4	 	rental costs of machinery and equipment, exclusive of hand tools, whether
rented from the Design-Builder or others;
	 
	 	.5	 	costs of premiums for all bonds and insurance, permit fees, and sales, use or
similar taxes related to the Work; and
	 
	 	.6	 	additional costs of supervision and field office personnel directly
attributable to the change.




§ A.7.3.7 The amount of credit to be allowed by the Design-Builder to the Owner for a deletion or
change that results in a net decrease in the Contract Sum shall be actual net cost. When both
additions and credits covering related Work or substitutions are involved in a change, the
allowance for overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of net increase, if any, with
respect to that change.



§ A.7.3.8 Pending final determination of the total cost of a Construction Change Directive to the
Owner, amounts not in dispute for such changes in the Work shall be included in Applications for
Payment accompanied by a Change Order indicating the parties’ agreement with part or all of such
costs. For any portion of such cost that remains in dispute, the Owner shall make an interim
determination for purposes of monthly payment for those costs. That
determination of cost shall
adjust the Contract Sum on the same basis as a Change Order, subject to the right of the

§ A.7.3.9 When the Owner and Design-Builder reach agreement concerning the adjustments in the
Contract Sum and Contract Time, or otherwise reach agreement upon the adjustments, such agreement
shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded by preparation and execution of an appropriate
Change Order.




§ A.7.4 MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK



§ A.7.4.1 The Owner shall have authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving
adjustment in the Contract Sum or extension of the Contract Time and not inconsistent with the
intent of the Design-Build Documents. Such changes shall be effected by written order and shall be
binding on the Design-Builder. The Design-Builder shall carry out such written orders promptly.




§ A,7.5 CHANGE ORDER REQUESTS



§ A.7.5.1 Owner may propose Changes in the Work by issuing supplementary instructions to the
Design-Builder describing the Change and requesting from the Design-Builder the submission of a
Change Order Request. Where time does not permit the processing of a Change Order prior to
commencing the Work, Design-Builder shall, upon written order from the Owner, proceed with the Work
while concurrently proceeding with preparation and submission of a Change Order Request.



§ A.7.5.2 Within five (5) days of receipt of supplemental instructions or a written order to
proceed with a Change in the Work, Design-Builder shall provide to the Owner a preliminary estimate
of any change in the Contract Sum or Contract Time for such Change in the Work. In no more than
fifteen (15) days thereafter, Design-Builder shall submit a Change Order Request to the Owner
indicating the requested adjustment in the Contract Sum and Contract Time, if any, justified with
an itemization of all costs of labor, materials, supplies, equipment and reasonable overhead and
profit. Any request for an extension of time shall be justified by reference to the then current
construction schedule. If no Change Order Request is submitted by Design-Builder within twenty
(20) days of the initial Owner request therefore, and the Design-Builder does not submit such
Change Order Request within five (5) days after written notice from the Owner to the Design-Builder
following the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, it shall be conclusively presumed that the
Change proposed in the supplementary instructions to the Design-Builder will not result in an
increase in the Contract Sum or in the Contract Time and that the Design-Builder will perform the
Work without any such increases. If Design-Builder is unable to submit the above information
within the specified time limit, it shall notify the Owner in writing, setting forth for approval a
date by which it will submit the information as well as a schedule for the performance of the Work.



§ A.7.5.3 Upon Owner’s acceptance of a Change Order Request, the Design-Builder shall prepare a
Change Order for execution by the Owner and the Design-Builder adjusting the Contract Sum and
Contract Time.



§ A.7.5.4 In the event that the Owner and Design-Builder do not agree on an adjustment in the
Contract Sum or a change in the Contract Time, Design-Builder shall perform such work and the
adjustment to the Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be submitted to arbitration unless such
Change has been authorized by a Change Order executed in accordance with the Contract Documents.



§ A.7.5.5 No changes in the Work shall be the basis of an addition to the Contract Sum or a change
in the Contract Time unless such Change has been authorized by a Change Order executed in
accordance with the Contract Documents.

§ A.8.1.4 The term “day” as used in the Design-Build Documents shall mean calendar day unless
otherwise specifically defined.




§ A.8.2 PROGRESS AND COMPLETION



§ A.8.2.1 Time limits stated in the Design-Build Documents are of the essence of the Design-Build
Contract. By executing the Design-Build Contract, the Design-Builder confirms that the Contract
Time is a reasonable period for performing the Work.



§ A.8.2.2 The Design-Builder shall not knowingly, except by agreement or instruction of the Owner
in writing, prematurely commence construction operations on the site or elsewhere prior to the
effective date of insurance required by Article A.11 to be furnished by the Design-Builder and
Owner. The date of commencement of the Work shall not be changed by the effective date of such
insurance. Unless the date of commencement is established by the Design-Build Documents or a notice
to proceed given by the Owner, the Design-Builder shall notify the Owner in writing not less than
five days or other agreed period before commencing the Work to permit the timely filing of
mortgages, mechanic’s liens and other security interests.



§ A.8.2.3 The Design-Builder shall proceed expeditiously with adequate forces and shall achieve
Substantial Completion within the Contract Time.




§ A.8.3 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME



§ A.8.3.1 If the Design-Builder is delayed at any time in the commencement or progress of the Work
by an act or neglect of the Owner or of a separate contractor employed by the Owner, or by changes
ordered in the Work, or by labor disputes, fire, unusual delay in deliveries, unavoidable
casualties or other causes beyond the Design-Builder’s control, or by delay authorized by the Owner
pending resolution of disputes pursuant to the Design-Build Documents, or by other causes which the
Owner determines may justify delay (collectively, “Force Majeure”), then the Contract Time shall be
extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as the Owner may determine. Contractor shall give
written notice of any such delay to Owner and Development Manager within five (5) business days of
Contractor’s knowledge of the occurrence of such event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section A.8.3.1, Force Majeure shall not excuse (i) Design-Builder’s failure to the extent
the event of Force Majeure in question was caused by the negligent or intentional act or failure to
act in violation of a contractual duty under this Agreement by Design-Builder; (ii) any material,
equipment, or labor shortage that could have been reasonably anticipated, or (iii) a delay that
could have been limited or avoided by timely notice to Owner and Development Manager of the delay.
Each Major Contract (as defined below) shall provide that the Major Contractor has confirmed, to
the best of its knowledge, that there are no material, equipment or labor shortages that will
prevent its timely performance under the Major Contract. To the extent such Major Contractor
cannot so confirm, Design-Builder shall notify Owner and Development Manager. “Major Contract”
shall be defined as a contract for portions of the Work valued in excess of **.



§ A.8.3.2 Claims relating to time shall be made in accordance with applicable provisions of Section
A.4.1.7.



§ A.8.3.3 This Section A.8.3 does not preclude recovery of damages for delay by either party under
other provisions of the Design-Build Documents.



§ A.8.3.4 In the event of any delay in the process of the Work, the Design-Builder shall promptly
update all construction schedules and schedules of values.




ARTICLE A.9 PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION


§ A.9.1 CONTRACT SUM



§ A.9.1.1 The Contract Sum is stated in the Design-Build Documents and, including authorized
adjustments, is the total amount payable by the Owner to the Design-Builder for performance of the
Work under the Design-Build Documents.




§ A.9.2 SCHEDULE OF VALUES



§ A.9.2.1 Before the first Application for Payment, where the Contract Sum is based upon a
Stipulated Sum or the Cost of the Work plus Contractor’s Fee with a Guaranteed Maximum Price, the
Design-Builder shall submit to the
Owner an initial schedule of values allocated to various
portions of the Work prepared in such form and supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy
as the Owner may require. This schedule, unless objected to by the Owner, shall be used as a basis
for reviewing the Design-Builder’s Applications for Payment. The schedule of values may be updated
periodically to reflect changes in the allocation of the Contract Sum.

§ A.9.3 APPLICATIONS FOR PAYMENT



§ A.9.3.1 In accordance with Section 5.1., the Design-Builder shall submit to the Owner an itemized
Application for Payment for operations completed in accordance with the current schedule of values.
Such application shall be notarized, if required, and supported by such data substantiating the
Design-Builder’s right to payment as the Owner may require, such as copies of requisitions from
Contractors and material suppliers, and reflecting retainage if provided for in the Design-Build
Documents:



§ A.9.3.1.1 As provided in Section A.7.3.8, such applications may include requests for payment on
account of Changes in the Work which have been properly authorized by Construction Change
Directives but are not yet included in Change Orders.



§ A.9.3.1.2 Such applications may not include requests for payment for portions of the Work for
which the Design-Builder does not intend to pay to a Contractor or material supplier or other
parties providing services for the Design-Builder, unless such Work has been performed by others
whom the Design-Builder intends to pay.



§ A.9.3.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Design-Build Documents, payments shall be made on
account of materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent
incorporation in the Work. If approved in advance by the Owner, payment may similarly be made for
materials and equipment suitably stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing. Payment
for materials and equipment stored on or off the site shall be conditioned upon compliance by the
Design-Builder with procedures satisfactory to the Owner to establish the Owner’s title to such
materials and equipment or otherwise protect the Owner’s interest and shall include the costs of
applicable insurance, storage and transportation to the site for such materials and equipment
stored off the site.



§ A.9.3.3 The Design-Builder warrants that title to all Work other than Instruments of Service
covered by an Application for Payment will pass to the Owner no later than the time of payment. The
Design-Builder further warrants that, upon submittal of an Application for Payment, all Work for
which Certificates for Payment have been previously issued and payments received from the Owner
shall, to the best of the Design-Builder’s knowledge, information and belief, be free and clear of
liens, Claims, security interests or encumbrances in favor of the Design-Builder, Contractors,
Subcontractors, material suppliers, or other persons or entities making a claim by reason of having
provided labor, materials and equipment relating to the Work. The filing by any person or entity
of a notice of mechanic’s lien against the Project with respect to Work as to which the Owner has
previously paid the Design-Builder (less any retainage or permitted offset) shall constitute a
default if not bonded off, discharged or recorded, or satisfied within thirty (30) days after the
Owner notifies the Design-Builder thereof. In the event of such a default, the Owner, without
prejudice to any other right or remedy, shall have the right but not the obligation to pay, settle,
or compromise such lien as it deems appropriate, and the Owner shall have no liability to the
Design-Builder in respect of such payment, settlement, or compromise, and shall have the right to
offset the cost thereof (including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs)
against the next payment to the Design-Builder.



§ A.9.3.4 Prior to each Application for Payment and as a condition to submission thereof, the
Design-Builder shall submit to the Development Manager for review accurate and legible working
copies of up-to-date record drawings of the Work, reflecting all changes in the Work effected in
construction to date. Prior to final completion, working drawings maintained in an orderly fashion
at the site office may be used for such purpose. A final, fully consolidated set of sepias shall
be submitted as a condition to final completion. The Design-Builder shall make such drawings
available to the Owner for duplication during the progress of the Work and when reasonably
requested by the Owner.




§ A.9.4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT



§ A.9.4.1 The Owner shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Design-Builder’s
Application for Payment, issue to the Design-Builder a written acknowledgement of receipt of the
Design-Builder’s Application for Payment indicating the amount the Owner has determined to be
properly due and, if applicable, the reasons for withholding payment in whole or in part.

§ A.9.5 DECISIONS TO WITHHOLD PAYMENT



§ A.9.5.1 The Owner may withhold a payment in whole or in part to the extent reasonably necessary
to protect the Owner due to the Owner’s determination that the Work has not progressed to the point
indicated in the Application for Payment or that the quality of Work is not in accordance with the
Design-Build Documents. The Owner may also withhold a payment or, because of subsequently
discovered evidence, may nullify the whole or a part of an Application for Payment previously
issued to such extent as may be necessary to protect the Owner from loss for which the
Design-Builder is responsible, including loss resulting from acts and omissions, because of the
following:





	 	.1	 	defective Work not remedied;
	 
	 	.2	 	third-party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of
such claims unless security acceptable to the Owner is provided by the Design-Builder;
	 
	 	.3	 	failure of the Design-Builder to make payments properly to Contractors or for
design services labor, materials or equipment;
	 
	 	.4	 	reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the unpaid balance of
the Contract Sum;
	 
	 	.5	 	damage to the Owner or a separate contractor;
	 
	 	.6	 	reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within the Contract
Time and that the unpaid balance would not be adequate to cover actual or liquidated
damages for the anticipated delay; or
	 
	 	.7	 	persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Design-Build
Documents.
	 
	 	.8	 	rejection of the Work or any material part of the Work by any governmental or
quasi-governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Project.




§ A.9.5.2 When the above reasons for withholding payment are removed, payment will be made for
amounts previously withheld.




§ A.9.6 PROGRESS PAYMENTS



§ A.9.6.1 After the Owner has issued a written acknowledgement of receipt of the Design-Builder’s
Application for Payment, the Owner shall make payment of the amount, in the manner and within the
time provided in the Design-Build Documents. The Owner may refuse to make payment in whole or in
part on any Certificate for Payment to the extent necessary in Development Manager’s judgment to
correct or protect against any default of the Contractor, including but not limited to, those
defaults set forth in Clauses 9.5.1.1 through 9.5.1.8. The Owner shall not be deemed in default by
reasons of withholding payment of any amount which is up to two (2) times the amount which the
Development Manager estimates to be necessary to protect against and correct any such default while
such default remains uncured.



§ A.9.6.2 The Design-Builder shall promptly pay the Architect, each design professional and other
consultants retained directly by the Design-Builder, upon receipt of payment from the Owner, out of
the amount paid to the Design-Builder on account of each such party’s respective portion of the
Work, the amount to which each such party is entitled.



§ A.9.6.3 The Design-Builder shall promptly pay each Contractor, upon receipt of payment from the
Owner, out of the amount paid to the Design-Builder on account of such Contractor’s portion of the
Work, the amount to which said Contractor is entitled, reflecting percentages actually retained
from payments to the Design-Builder on account of the Contractor’s portion of the Work. The
Design-Builder shall, by appropriate agreement with each Contractor, require each Contractor to
make payments to Subcontractors in a similar manner.



§ A.9.6.4 The Owner shall have no obligation to pay or to see to the payment of money to a
Contractor except as may otherwise be required by law.



§ A.9.6.5 Payment to material suppliers shall be treated in a manner similar to that provided in
Sections A.9.6.3 and A.9.6.4.



§ A.9.6.6 A progress payment, or partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the Owner,
shall not constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Design-Build Documents.

§ A.9.6.7 Unless the Design-Builder provides the Owner with a payment bond in the full penal sum of
the Contract Sum, payments received by the Design-Builder for Work properly performed by
Contractors and suppliers shall be held by the Design-Builder for those Contractors or suppliers
who performed Work or furnished materials, or both, under contract with the Design-Builder for
which payment was made by the Owner. Nothing contained herein shall require money to be placed in a
separate account and not be commingled with money of the Design-Builder, shall create any fiduciary
liability or tort liability on the part of the Design-Builder for breach of trust or shall entitle
any person or entity to an award of punitive damages against the Design-Builder for breach of the
requirements of this provision.




§ A.9.7 FAILURE OF PAYMENT



§ A.9.7.1 If for reasons other than those enumerated in Section A.9.5.1, the Owner does not issue a
payment within the time period required by Section 5.1.3 of the Agreement, then the Design-Builder
may, upon seven additional days’ written notice to the Owner, stop the Work until payment of the
amount owing has been received. The Contract Time shall be extended appropriately and the Contract
Sum shall be increased by the amount of the Design-Builder’s reasonable costs of shutdown, delay
and start-up, plus interest as provided for in the Design-Build Documents. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Design-Builder may not stop the Work or make any claim as a result of
any payment or portion thereof being properly withheld in accordance with Subparagraph 9.5.1 or
Subparagraph 9.6.1. If the Design-Builder does order the Work stopped, or if the Work is stopped
in whole or in part as a result of any payment or portion thereof being properly withheld, the
Design-Builder shall be liable for any damages from delay or otherwise that arise because of such
stoppage.




§ A.9.8 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION



§ A.9.8.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or
designated portion thereof is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Design-Build Documents
and all final inspections have been passed successfully and all permits (including issuance of a
temporary certificate of occupancy for such work) have been obtained, so that the Owner can occupy
or use the Work or a portion thereof for its intended use. The following shall also be required as
a condition to Substantial Completion: (i) all extra or stock items have been received by the
Owner checked against the Design-Builder’s inventory, and stored in good condition in the on-site
locations designated by the Owner, (ii) final readings have been take of all utility meters used
for construction purposes, and all utility charges have been paid in full, (iii) all necessary
instruction and training has been provided to the Owner’s personnel, as required by the Contract
Documents, (iv) the Owner and the Design-Builder have agreed on all punch list items and the
aggregate value thereof, (v) all warranties, operation manuals, material data sheets, and similar
documents have been organized, indexed and delivered to the Owner, (vi) all project systems
included in the Work are operational as designed, scheduled and commissioned, (vii) the only
remaining Work shall be minor in nature so that (1) the building could be occupied without material
inconvenience (affecting the Owner’s ability to use the buildings for its intended purposes), on
that date; (2) the incomplete Work would not materially detract from the appearance of the Project
as a completed facility; and (3) substantially all of the punchlist Work (excepting only items
which due to season or their nature cannot be completed within such sixty (60) day period) can be
completed within sixty (60) consecutive calendar days following the date of Substantial Completion,
and (viii) final, fully consolidated, accurate and legible record drawings of the work on sepias.



§ A.9.8.2 When the Design-Builder considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner
agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete, the Design-Builder shall prepare and submit
to the Owner a comprehensive list of items to be completed or corrected prior to final payment.
Failure to include an item on such list does not alter the responsibility of the Design-Builder to
complete all Work in accordance with the Design-Build Documents.



§ A.9.8.3 Upon receipt of the Design-Builder’s list, the Owner shall make an inspection to
determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the Owner’s
inspection discloses any item, whether or not included on the Design-Builder’s list, which is not
substantially complete, the Design-Builder shall complete or correct such item. In such case, the
Design-Builder shall then submit a request for another inspection by the Owner to determine whether
the Design-Builder’s Work is substantially complete.



§ A.9.8.4 In the event of a dispute regarding whether the Design-Builder’s Work is substantially
complete, the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Article A.4.



§ A.9.8.5 When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Design-Builder
shall prepare for the Owner’s signature an Acknowledgement of Substantial Completion which, when
signed by the Owner, shall establish (1) the date of Substantial Completion of the Work, (2)
responsibilities between the Owner and Design-Builder for security, maintenance, heat, utilities,
damage to the Work and insurance, and (3) the time within which the Design-Builder shall finish all
items on the list accompanying the Acknowledgement. When the Owner’s inspection discloses that the
Work or a designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Owner shall sign the
Acknowledgement of Substantial Completion. Warranties required by the Design-Build Documents shall
commence on the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof unless
otherwise provided in the Acknowledgement of Substantial Completion.

§ A.9.8.6 Upon execution of the Acknowledgement of Substantial Completion and consent of surety, if
any, the Owner shall make payment of retainage applying to such Work or designated portion thereof.
Such payment shall be adjusted for Work that is incomplete or not in accordance with the
requirements of the Design-Build Documents.




§ A.9.9 PARTIAL OCCUPANCY OR USE



§ A.9.9.1 The Owner may occupy or use any completed or partially completed portion of the Work at
any stage when such portion is designated by separate agreement with the Design-Builder, provided
such occupancy or use is consented to by the insurer, if so required by the insurer, and authorized
by public authorities having jurisdiction over the Work. Such partial occupancy or use may commence
whether or not the portion is substantially complete, provided the Owner and Design-Builder have
accepted in writing the responsibilities assigned to each of them for payments, retainage, if any,
security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and have agreed in
writing concerning the period for completion or correction of the Work and commencement of
warranties required by the Design-Build Documents. When the Design-Builder considers a portion
substantially complete, the Design-Builder shall prepare and submit a list to the Owner as provided
under Section A.9.8.2. Consent of the Design-Builder to partial occupancy or use shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The stage of the progress of the Work shall be determined by written
agreement between the Owner and Design-Builder.



§ A.9.9.2 Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner and Design-Builder shall
jointly inspect the area to be occupied or portion of the Work to be used to determine and record
the condition of the Work.



§ A.9.9.3 Unless otherwise agreed upon, partial occupancy or use of a portion or portions of the
Work shall not (i) constitute acceptance of Work not complying with the requirements of the
Design-Build Documents, or (ii) relieve Design-Builder of responsibility for loss of damages
arising from defects in, or malfunctioning of, any work, material or equipment nor from any other
unfilled obligations of Design-Builder under the Contract Documents..




§ A.9.10 FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT



§ A.9.10.1 Upon receipt of written notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and
acceptance and upon receipt of a final Application for Payment, the Owner shall promptly make such
inspection and, when the Owner finds the Work acceptable under the Design-Build Documents and fully
performed, the Owner shall, subject to Section A.9.10.2, promptly make final payment to the
Design-Builder.



§ A.9.10.2 Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage will become due until the
Design-Builder submits to the Owner (1) an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and
equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which the Owner or the Owner’s
property might be responsible or encumbered (less amounts withheld by Owner) have been paid or
otherwise satisfied, (2) a certificate evidencing that insurance required by the Design-Build
Documents to remain in force after final payment is currently in effect and will not be cancelled
or allowed to expire until at least 30 days’ prior written notice has been given to the Owner, (3)
a written statement that the Design-Builder knows of no substantial reason that the insurance will
not be renewable to cover the period required by the Design-Build Documents, (4) consent of surety,
if any, to final payment, (5) receipts, releases and waivers of liens, claims, security interests
or encumbrances arising out of the Design-Build Contract, to the extent and in such form as may be
designated by the Owner, (6) a full set of reproducible as-built drawings, consisting of the
Construction Documents marked by the Construction Manager to show all Change Orders, Construction
Change Directive, field conditions, field deviations, and all other “as-built” conditions, and (7)
a final certificate of occupancy for each of the buildings which are part of the Project. If a
Contractor refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by the Owner, the Design-Builder may
furnish a bond satisfactory to the Owner to indemnify the Owner against such lien. If such lien
remains unsatisfied after payments are made, the Design-Builder shall refund to the Owner all money
that the Owner may be liable to pay in connection with the discharge of such lien, including all
costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

§ A.9.10.3 If, after the Owner determines that the Design-Builder’s Work or designated portion
thereof is substantially completed, final completion thereof is materially delayed through no fault
of the Design-Builder or by issuance of a Change Order or a Construction Change Directive affecting
final completion, the Owner shall, upon application by the Design-Builder, make payment of the
balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance for
Work not fully completed or corrected is less than retainage stipulated in the Design-Build
Documents, and if bonds have been furnished, the written consent of surety to payment of the
balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by the
Design-Builder. Such payment shall be made under terms and conditions governing final payment,

affected area if in fact the material or substance exists on site as of the date of the Agreement,
is not disclosed in the Design-Build Documents and presents the risk of bodily injury or death as
described in Section A.10.3.1 and has not been rendered harmless, provided that such Claim, damage,
loss or expense is attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death or to injury to or
destruction of tangible property (other than the Work itself) to the extent that such damage, loss
or expense is not due to the negligence of the Design-Builder, Contractors, Subcontractors,
Architect, Architect’s consultants and the agents and employees of
any of them. The Design-Builder
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Owner, OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the Development Manager
and WIDA and their agents, employees, principals, officers, shareholders, directors and consultants

§ A.11.3 OWNER’S LIABILITY INSURANCE



§ A.11.3.1 The Owner shall be responsible for purchasing and maintaining the Owner’s usual
liability insurance, which shall be non-contributory to the insurance provided by the Contractor.




§ A.11.4 PROPERTY INSURANCE



§ A.11.4.1 Unless otherwise provided, the Owner shall purchase and maintain, in a company or
companies lawfully authorized to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Project is located,
property insurance written on a builder’s risk, “all-risk” or equivalent policy form in the amount
of the initial Contract Sum, plus the value of subsequent Design-Build Contract modifications and
cost of materials supplied or installed by others, comprising total value for the entire Project at
the site on a replacement cost basis with a deductible not to exceed **. Such property insurance
shall be maintained, unless otherwise provided in the Design-Build Documents or otherwise agreed in
writing by all persons and entities who are beneficiaries of such insurance, until final payment
has been made as provided in Section A.9.10 or until no person or entity other than the Owner has
an insurable interest in the property required by this Section A.11.4 to be covered, whichever is
later. This insurance shall include interests of the Owner, Design-Builder, Contractors and
Subcontractors in the Project.



§ A.11.4.1.1 Property insurance shall be on an “all-risk” or equivalent policy form and shall
include, without limitation, insurance against the perils of fire (with extended coverage) and
physical loss or damage including, without duplication of coverage, theft, vandalism, malicious
mischief, collapse, earthquake, flood, windstorm, falsework, testing and startup, temporary
buildings and debris removal, including demolition occasioned by enforcement of any applicable
legal requirements, and shall cover reasonable compensation for Design-Builder’s services and
expenses required as a result of such insured loss.



§ A.11.4.1.2 If the Owner does not intend to purchase such property insurance required by the
Design-Build Contract and with all of the coverages in the amount described above, the Owner shall
so inform the Design-Builder in writing prior to commencement of the Work. The Design-Builder may
then effect insurance that will protect the interests of the Design-Builder, Contractors and
Subcontractors in the Work, and, by appropriate Change Order, the cost thereof shall be charged to
the Owner. If the Design-Builder is damaged by the failure or neglect of the Owner to purchase or
maintain insurance as described above without so notifying the Design-Builder in writing, then the
Owner shall bear all reasonable costs properly attributable thereto.



§ A.11.4.1.3 If the property insurance requires deductibles, the Owner shall pay costs not covered

§ A.11.4.1.4 This property insurance shall cover portions of the Work stored off the site and also
portions of the Work in transit.



§ A.11.4.1.5 Partial occupancy or use in accordance with Section A.9.9 shall not commence until the

occupancy or use, by endorsement or otherwise. The Owner and the Design-Builder shall take
reasonable steps to obtain consent of the insurance company or companies and shall, without mutual
written consent, take no action with respect to partial occupancy or use that would cause
cancellation, lapse or reduction of insurance.



§ A.11.4.2 Boiler and Machinery Insurance. The Owner shall purchase and maintain boiler and
machinery insurance required by the Design-Build Documents or by law, which shall specifically
cover such insured objects during installation and until final acceptance by the Owner; this

§ A.11.4.3 Loss of Use Insurance. The Owner, at the Owner’s option, may purchase and maintain such
insurance as will insure the Owner against loss of use of the Owner’s property due to fire or other
hazards, however caused. The Owner waives all rights of action against the Design-Builder,
Architect, the Design-Builder’s other design professionals, if any, Contractors and Subcontractors
for loss of use of the Owner’s property, including consequential losses due to fire or other
hazards, however caused.



§ A.11.4.4 If the Design-Builder requests in writing that insurance for risks other than those
described herein or other special causes of loss be included in the property insurance policy, the
Owner shall, if possible, include such insurance, and the cost thereof shall be charged to the
Design-Builder by appropriate Change Order.



§ A.11.4.5 If during the Project construction period the Owner insures properties, real or personal
or both, at or adjacent to the site by property insurance under policies separate from those
insuring the Project, or if after final payment property insurance is to be provided on the
completed Project through a policy or policies other than those insuring the Project during the
construction period, the Owner shall waive all rights in accordance with the terms of Section
A.11.4.7 for damages caused by fire or other causes of loss covered by this separate property
insurance. All separate policies shall provide this waiver of subrogation by endorsement or
otherwise.



§ A.11.4.6 Before an exposure to loss may occur, the Owner shall file with the Design-Builder a
copy of each policy that includes insurance coverages required by this Section A.11.4. Each policy
shall contain all generally applicable conditions, definitions, exclusions and endorsements related
to this Project. Each policy shall contain a provision that the policy will not be canceled or
allowed to expire and that its limits will not be reduced until at least 30 days’ prior written
notice has been given to the Design-Builder.



§ A.11.4.7 Waivers of Subrogation. The Owner and Design-Builder waive all rights against each other
and any of their consultants, separate contractors described in Section A.6.1, if any, Contractors,
Subcontractors, agents and employees, each of the other, and any of their contractors,
subcontractors, agents and employees, for damages caused by fire or other causes of loss to the
extent covered by property insurance obtained pursuant to this Section A.11.4 or other property
insurance applicable to the Work, except such rights as they have to proceeds of such insurance
held by the Owner as fiduciary. The Owner or Design-Builder, as appropriate, shall require of the
separate contractors described in Section A.6.1, if any, and the Contractors, Subcontractors,
agents and employees of any of them, by appropriate agreements, written where legally required for
validity, similar waivers each in favor of other parties enumerated herein. The policies shall
provide such waivers of subrogation by endorsement or otherwise. A waiver of subrogation shall be
effective as to a person or entity even though that person or entity would otherwise have a duty of
indemnification, contractual or otherwise, even though the person or entity did not pay the
insurance premium directly or indirectly, and whether or not the person or entity had an insurable
interest in the property damaged.



§ A.11.4.8 A loss insured under Owner’s property insurance shall be adjusted by the Owner as
fiduciary and made payable to the Owner as fiduciary for the insureds, as their interests may
appear, subject to requirements of any applicable mortgagee clause and of Section A.11.4.10. The
Design-Builder shall pay Contractors their just shares of insurance proceeds received by the
Design-Builder, and, by appropriate agreements, written where legally required for validity, shall
require Contractors to make payments to their Subcontractors in similar manner.



§ A.11.4.9 If required in writing by a party in interest, the Owner as fiduciary shall, upon
occurrence of an insured loss, give bond for proper performance of the Owner’s duties. The cost of
required bonds shall be charged against proceeds received as fiduciary. The Owner shall deposit in
a separate account proceeds so received, which the Owner shall distribute in accordance with such
agreement as the parties in interest may reach. If after such loss no other special agreement is
made and unless the Owner terminates the Design-Build Contract for convenience, replacement of
damaged property shall be performed by the Design-Builder after notification of a Change in the
Work in accordance with Article A.7.



§ A.11.4.10 The Owner as fiduciary shall have power to adjust and settle a loss with insurers
unless one of the parties in interest shall object in writing within five days after occurrence of
loss to the Owner’s exercise of this power.; The Owner as fiduciary shall, in the case of a
decision or award, make settlement with insurers in accordance with directions of a decision or
award. If distribution of insurance proceeds by arbitration is required, the arbitrators will
direct such distribution.

§ A.11.5 PERFORMANCE BOND AND PAYMENT BOND



§ A.11.5.1 The Owner has elected not to require that the Design-Builder furnish bonds covering the
performance of the Design-Build Contract and payment of obligations arising thereunder.




ARTICLE
A.12 UNCOVERING AND CORRECTION OF WORK


§ A.12.1 UNCOVERING OF WORK



§ A.12.1.1 If a portion of the Work is covered contrary to requirements specifically expressed in
the Design-Build Documents, it must be uncovered for the Owner’s examination and be replaced at the
Design-Builder’s expense without change in the Contract Time.



§ A.12.1.2 If a portion of the Work has been covered which the Owner has not specifically requested
to examine prior to it’s being covered, the Owner may request to see such Work and it shall be
uncovered by the Design-Builder. If such Work is in accordance with the Design-Build Documents,
costs of uncovering and replacement shall, by appropriate Change Order, be at the Owner’s expense.
If such Work is not in accordance with the Design-Build Documents, correction shall be at the
Design-Builder’s expense unless the condition was caused by the Owner or a separate contractor, in
which event the Owner shall be responsible for payment of such costs.




§ A.12.2 CORRECTION OF WORK


§ A.12.2.1 BEFORE OR AFTER SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.



§ A.12.2.1.1 The Design-Builder shall promptly correct Work rejected by the Owner or failing to
conform to the requirements of the Design-Build Documents, whether discovered before or after
Substantial Completion and whether or not fabricated, installed or completed. Costs of correcting
such rejected Work, including additional testing, shall be at the Design-Builder’s expense.




§ A.12.2.2 AFTER SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION



§ A.12.2.2.1 In addition to the Design-Builder’s obligations under Section A.3.5, if, within one
year after the date of Substantial Completion or after the date for commencement of warranties
established under Section A.9.8.5 or by terms of an applicable special warranty required by the
Design-Build Documents, any of the Work is found to be not in accordance with the requirements of
the Design-Build Documents, the Design-Builder shall correct it promptly after receipt of written
notice from the Owner to do so unless the Owner has previously given the Design-Builder a written
acceptance of such condition. The Owner shall give such notice promptly after discovery of the
condition. During the one-year period for correction of Work, if the Owner fails to notify the
Design-Builder and give the Design-Builder an opportunity to make the correction, the Owner waives
the rights to require correction by the Design-Builder and to make a claim for breach of warranty.
If the Design-Builder fails to correct non-conforming Work within a reasonable time during that
period after receipt of notice from the Owner, the Owner may correct it in accordance with Section
A.2.5.



§ A.12.2.2.2 The one-year period for correction of Work shall be extended with respect to portions
of Work first performed after Substantial Completion by the period of time between Substantial
Completion and the actual performance of the Work.



§ A.12.2.2.3 The one-year period for correction of Work shall not be extended by corrective Work
performed by the Design-Builder pursuant to this Section A.12.2.



§ A.12.2.3 The Design-Builder shall remove from the site portions of the Work which are not in
accordance with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents and are neither corrected by the
Design-Builder nor accepted by the Owner.



§ A.12.2.4 The Design-Builder shall bear the cost of correcting destroyed or damaged construction,
whether completed or partially completed, of the Owner or separate contractors caused by the
Design-Builder’s correction or removal of Work which is not in accordance with the requirements of
the Design-Build Documents.



§ A.12.2.5 Nothing contained in this Section A.12.2 shall be construed to establish a period of
limitation with respect to other obligations the Design-Builder might have under the Design-Build
Documents. Establishment of the one-year period for correction of Work as described in Section
A.12.2.2 relates only to the specific obligation of the Design-Builder to correct the Work, and has
no relationship to the time within which the obligation to comply with the Design-Build Documents
may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be
commenced to
establish the Design-Builder’s liability with respect to the Design-Builder’s obligations other
than specifically to correct the Work.

§ A.12.3 ACCEPTANCE OF NONCONFORMING WORK



§ A.12.3.1 If the Owner prefers to accept Work not in accordance with the requirements of the
Design-Build Documents, the Owner may do so instead of requiring its removal and correction, in
which case the Contract Sum will be equitably adjusted by Change Order. Such adjustment shall be
effected whether or not final payment has been made.

ARTICLE
A.14 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE DESIGN/BUILD CONTRACT


§ A.14.1 TERMINATION BY THE DESIGN-BUILDER



§ A.14.1.1 The Design-Builder may terminate the Design-Build Contract if the Work is stopped for a
period of 30 consecutive days through no act or fault of the Design-Builder or a Contractor,
Subcontractor or their agents or employees or any other persons or entities performing portions of
the Work under direct or indirect contract with the Design-Builder, for any of the following
reasons:





	 	.1	 	issuance of an order of a court or other public authority having jurisdiction
which requires all Work to be stopped;
	 
	 	.2	 	an act of government, such as a declaration of national emergency which
requires all Work to be stopped; or
	 
	 	.3	 	the Owner has failed to make payment to the Design-Builder in accordance with
the Design-Build Documents.




§ A.14.1.2 The Design-Builder may terminate the Design-Build Contract if, through no act or fault
of the Design-Builder or a Contractor, Subcontractor or their agents or employees or any other
persons or entities performing portions of the Work under direct or indirect contract with the
Design-Builder, repeated suspensions, delays or interruptions of the entire Work by the Owner, as
described in Section A.14.3, constitute in the aggregate more
than 100 percent of the total number
of days scheduled for completion, or 120 days in any 365-day period, whichever is less.

§ A.14.1.3 If one of the reasons described in Sections A.14.1.1 or A.14.1.2 exists, the
Design-Builder may, upon seven days’ written notice to the Owner, terminate the Design-Build
Contract and recover from the Owner payment for Work executed and for proven loss with respect to
materials, equipment, tools, and construction equipment and machinery, including reasonable
overhead and profit.



§ A.14.1.4 If the Work is stopped for a period of 60 consecutive days through no act or fault of
the Design-Builder or a Contractor or their agents or employees or any other persons performing
portions of the Work under a direct or indirect contract with the Design-Builder because the Owner
has persistently failed to fulfill the Owner’s obligations under the Design-Build Documents with
respect to matters important to the progress of the Work, the Design-Builder may, upon seven
additional days’ written notice to the Owner, terminate the Design-Build Contract and recover from
the Owner as provided in Section A.14.1.3.




§
A.14.2 TERMINATION BY THE OWNER FOR CAUSE


§ A.14.2.1 The Owner may terminate the Design-Build Contract if the Design-Builder:





	 	.1	 	persistently or repeatedly refuses or fails to supply enough properly skilled
workers or proper materials;
	 
	 	.2	 	fails to make payment to Contractors for services, materials or labor in
accordance with the respective agreements between the Design-Builder and the Architect
and Contractors;
	 
	 	.3	 	persistently disregards laws, ordinances or rules, regulations or orders of a
public authority having jurisdiction;
	 
	 	.4	 	otherwise is guilty of substantial breach of a provision of the Design-Build
Documents; or
	 
	 	.5	 	if a petition is filed by the Design-Builder, or against the Design-Builder
with its consent, under any federal or state law concerning bankruptcy, reorganization,
insolvency or relief from creditors, or if such petition is filed against the
Design-Builder without its consent and is not dismissed within sixty (60) days; or if
the Contractor is generally not paying its debts as they become due; or if the
Contractor becomes insolvent; or if the Contractor consents to the appointment of a
receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or the like of the Contractor or of all or any
substantial portion of its assets; or if a receiver, trustee liquidator, custodian or
the like is appointed with respect to the Contractor or takes possession of all or any
substantial portion of its assets and such appointment or possession is not terminated
within sixty (60) days or if the Contractor makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors.




§ A.14.2.2 When any of the above reasons exist, the Owner may without prejudice to any other rights
or remedies of the Owner and after giving the Design-Builder and the Design-Builder’s surety, if
any, seven days’ written notice, terminate employment of the Design-Builder and may, subject to any
prior rights of the surety:





	 	.1	 	take possession of the site and of all materials, equipment, tools, and
construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by the Design-Builder;
	 
	 	.2	 	accept assignment of contracts pursuant to Section A.5.5.1; and
	 
	 	.3	 	finish the Work by whatever reasonable method the Owner may deem expedient.
Upon request of the Design-Builder, the Owner shall furnish to the Design-Builder a
detailed accounting of the costs incurred by the Owner in finishing the Work.




§ A.14.2.3 When the Owner terminates the Design-Build Contract for one of the reasons stated in
Section A.14.2.1, the Design-Builder shall not be entitled to receive further payment until the
Work is finished.



§ A.14.2.4 If the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum exceeds costs of finishing the Work and other
damages incurred by the Owner and not expressly waived, such excess shall be paid to the
Design-Builder. If such costs and damages exceed the unpaid balance, the Design-Builder shall pay
the difference to the Owner. This obligation for payment shall survive the termination of the
Contract.



§ A.14.2.5 Upon any termination by either party hereunder, all of the Design-Builder’s obligations
as to portions of the Work already performed (such as, without limitation, warranties or
obligations with respect to defective Work) or arising prior to the date of termination shall
survive termination and continue in effect.

§ A.14.2.6 The failure of the Owner to terminate this Agreement for any reason and Owner’s allowing
the Design-Builder to complete the Work shall not be deemed a waiver on the part of the Owner of
any rights and remedies the Owner may have at law or in equity to recover damages, including for
delay, from the Design-Builder. The failure of the Design-Builder to enforce one or more of its
rights or remedies herein provided shall not be deemed a waiver on the part of the Design-Builder
of any rights and remedies the Design-Builder may have at law or in equity to recover damages or
other relief under the Contract Documents.



§ A.14.2.7 Without limiting Owner’s rights in accordance with Section A.14.2.2, Owner may also
terminate this Agreement for cause if the Design-Builder fails to cause the discharge (by payment,
bond or otherwise) of any mechanic’s or material suppliers’ lien within thirty (30) days after
notice of the lien is received by the Design-Builder. In the event the Design-Builder fails to
timely discharge any such lien, Owner may, with or without terminating the Agreement, elect to
withhold payment to the Design-Builder of a sum equivalent to two times the amount of such lien and
discharge such lien accordingly. In such event, all costs associated with Owner’s discharge of
such lien shall be deducted from such sum and shall be deemed to have been paid to Design-Builder
in accordance with this Agreement.




§ A.14.3 SUSPENSION BY THE OWNER FOR CONVENIENCE



§ A.14.3.1 The Owner may, without cause, order the Design-Builder in writing to suspend, delay or
interrupt the Work in whole or in part for such period of time as the Owner may determine.



§ A.14.3.2 The Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be adjusted for increases in the cost and time
caused by suspension, delay or interruption as described in Section A.14.3.1. Adjustment of the
Contract Sum shall include profit. No adjustment shall be made to the extent:





	 	.1	 	that performance is, was or would have been so suspended, delayed or
interrupted by another cause for which the Design-Builder is responsible; or
	 
	 	.2	 	that an equitable adjustment is made or denied under another provision of the
Design-Build Contract.





§ A.14.4 TERMINATION BY THE OWNER FOR CONVENIENCE



§ A.14.4.1 The Owner may, at any time, terminate the Design-Build Contract for the Owner’s
convenience and without cause.



§ A.14.4.2 Upon receipt of written notice from the Owner of such termination for the Owner’s
convenience, the Design-Builder shall:





	 	.1	 	cease operations as directed by the Owner in the notice;
	 
	 	.2	 	take actions necessary, or that the Owner may direct, for the protection and
preservation of the Work; and
	 
	 	.3	 	except for Work directed to be performed prior to the effective date of
termination stated in the notice, terminate all existing contracts and purchase orders
and enter into no further contracts and purchase orders.




§ A.14.4.3 In the event of termination for the Owner’s convenience prior to commencement of
construction, the Design-Builder shall be entitled to receive payment for design services
performed, costs incurred by reason of such termination and reasonable overhead and profit on
design services not completed. In case of termination for the Owner’s convenience after
commencement of construction, the Design-Builder shall be entitled to receive payment for Work
executed and costs incurred by reason of such termination, along with reasonable overhead and
profit on the Work not executed.

ARTICLE B.1 PROJECT COST ESTIMATES AND BUDGETS




(Paragraphs deleted)

§ B.1.1 PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATES



§ B.1.1.1 The Design-Builder shall prepare, for the review of the Development Manager and approval
of the Owner, a preliminary cost estimate utilizing area, volume or similar conceptual estimating
techniques.



§ B.1.1.2 When schematic design documents have been prepared by the Architect and approved by the
Owner, the Design-Builder shall prepare, for the review of the Development Manager and approval of
the Owner, a more detailed estimate with supporting data (the “Schematic Design Budget Check”).
The Schematic Design Budget Check shall be in sufficient detail to identify major elements of the
Project and within each trade and all assumptions and qualifications. During the preparation of
the Design Development Documents, the Design-Builder shall update and refine this estimate at
appropriate intervals agreed to by the Owner and Development Manager.



§B.1.1.3 When Design Development Documents have been prepared by the Architect and approved by the
Owner, the Design-Builder shall prepare a detailed estimate with supporting data for review by the
Development Manager and approval by the Owner (the “Design Development Budget Check”). The Design
Development Budget Check shall conform to the same requirements as the Schematic Design Budget
Check. During the preparation of the Construction Documents, the Design-Builder shall update and
refine this estimate at appropriate intervals agreed to by the Owner and Development Manager.
Continuously throughout the design process, the Design-Builder shall provide “value engineering”
services consisting of a review of the cost, quality and schedule influences of proposed building
materials, systems and construction methods relative to design objectives in order to identify
optimal values for the Owner. Particular factors evaluated shall include, but not be limited to:
overall construction cost, initial vs. life-cycle cost, alternative materials and methods of
construction, impacts on related trades and building systems, major cost variables and risks,
impact on local manpower and schedule, local availability of systems, materials and equipment,
ability of components to interact with other building components, no overlap in sub-pricing or
specifications, regulatory considerations, and environmental impact. The Design Development Budget
Check shall be updated as necessary to incorporate value engineering items, as requested by
Development Manager and Owner. If any estimate submitted to the Owner exceeds Owner’s budget for
the Project or any phase of the project, the Design-Builder shall make appropriate recommendations
to the Owner and Development Manager.



§B.1.1.4 The Construction Budget for the Project shall be a detailed Construction Budget by
building trade categories of the Work (prepared by Design-Builder for review and acceptance by
Development Manager and approval by Owner) which shall not exceed the amount to be agreed upon
between Design-Builder and Owner, for construction of the Work and performance of Design-Builder’s
services hereunder (for the scope of the Work covered by such Construction Budget). The
Design-Builder’s Construction Budget shall also designate the portion of the Design-Builder’s
General Conditions Costs (as hereinafter defined) and Design-Builder’s Fee allocable to the Work,
and the estimated total cost of completing each phase of the Work, as well as the overall Work (the
“Construction Budget.”) Design-Builder shall also gather, maintain, analyze and provide Owner and
Development Manager with cost and pricing data for all subcontractors and with respect to all
change orders in a manner that satisfies the Owner’s requirements.



§ B.1.1.5 If any estimate submitted by Design-Builder to the Owner for the Work or any stage
thereof (or for any building trade itemized on the Construction Budget) exceeds previously approved
estimates or the Construction Budget therefore, then without limiting Design-Builder’s obligations
under Subparagraph 2.2.3, Design-Builder shall identify all such discrepancies in writing; endeavor
to reconcile or explain the cause of the same and make appropriate written recommendations to Owner
and Development Manager of changes in the drawings and specifications or other cost saving
alternatives and shall provide Owner and Development Manager such supporting documentation with
respect thereto as Owner and Development Manager may reasonably require. Owner may, if it so
elects, approve the increased estimate of costs, adopt the Design-Builder’s recommendations of
changes or, if applicable, exercise the rights and remedies provided in Paragraph 2.2.



§ B.1.1.6 The Design-Builder shall prepare and submit to the Owner prior to the Design-Builder’s
first Application for Payment, in writing, a Control Estimate. The Control Estimate shall include
the estimated Cost of the Work plus the Design-Builder’s Fee. The Control Estimate shall be used to
monitor actual costs.

§ B.1.1.7 The Control Estimate shall include:





	 	.1	 	the documents enumerated in Article 8 of the Agreement, including all Addenda
thereto and the Terms and Conditions of the Contract;
	 
	 	.2	 	a statement of the estimated Cost of the Work showing separately the
compensation for design services, construction costs organized by trade categories or
systems and the Design-Builder’s Fee; and
	 
	 	.3	 	contingencies for further development of design and construction.




§ B.1..1.8 The Design-Builder shall meet with the Owner to review the Control Estimate. In the
event that the Owner discovers any inconsistencies or inaccuracies in the information presented, it
shall promptly notify the Design-Builder, who shall make appropriate adjustments to the Control
Estimate. When the Control Estimate is acceptable to the Owner, the Owner shall acknowledge its
acceptance in writing. The Owner’s acceptance of the Control Estimate does not imply that the
Control Estimate constitutes a Guaranteed Maximum Price.




§ B.1.1.9 The Design-Builder shall develop and implement a detailed system of cost control approved
by the Owner and Development Manager, that will provide the Owner with timely information as to the
anticipated total Cost of the Work. The cost control system shall compare the Control Estimate with
the actual cost for activities in progress and estimates for uncompleted tasks and proposed
changes. This information shall be reported to the Owner, in writing, no later than the
Design-Builder’s first Application for Payment and shall be revised monthly or at other intervals
as mutually agreed.



(Paragraphs deleted)




ARTICLE B.2 COSTS TO BE REIMBURSED




§ B.2.1 COST OF THE WORK


The term Cost of the Work shall mean costs necessarily incurred by the Design-Builder in the proper
performance of the Work. Such costs shall be at rates not higher than the standard paid at the
place of the Project except with prior consent of the Owner. The Cost of the Work shall include
only the items set forth in this Article B.2.




§ B.2.2 LABOR COSTS



§ B.2.2.1 Wages of construction workers directly employed by the Design-Builder to perform the
construction of the Work at the site or, with the Owner’s approval, at off-site locations.



§ B.2.2.2 Wages or salaries of the Design-Builder’s supervisory and administrative personnel when
stationed at the site with the Owner’s approval.



§ B.2.2.3 Wages and salaries of the Design-Builder’s supervisory or administrative personnel
engaged at factories, workshops or on the road, in expediting the production or transportation of
materials or equipment required for the Work, but only for that portion of their time required for
the Work.



§ B.2.2.4 Costs paid or incurred by the Design-Builder for taxes, insurance, contributions,
assessments and benefits required by law or collective bargaining agreements and, for personnel not
covered by such agreements, customary benefits such as sick leave, medical and health benefits,
holidays, vacations and pensions, provided such costs are based on wages and salaries included in
the Cost of the Work under Sections B.2.2.1 through B.2.2.3.




§ B.2.3 CONTRACT COSTS



§ B.2.3.1 Payments made by the Design-Builder to Contractors in accordance with the requirements of
their contracts.



§ B.2.4 COSTS OF MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT INCORPORATED IN THE COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION



§ B.2.4.1 Costs, including transportation and storage, of materials and equipment incorporated or
to be incorporated in the completed construction.



§ B.2.4.2 Costs of materials described in the preceding Section B.2.4.1 in excess of those actually
installed to allow for reasonable waste and spoilage. Unused excess materials, if any, shall become
the Owner’s property at the completion of the Work or, at the Owner’s option, shall be sold by the
Design-Builder. Any amounts realized from such sales shall be credited to the Owner as a deduction
from the Cost of the Work.

shall be permitted to audit and copy, the Design-Builder’s records, books, correspondence,
instructions, receipts, contracts, purchase orders, vouchers, memoranda and other data relating to
this Agreement on an “open-book” basis, and the Design-Builder shall preserve these for a period of
three years after final payment, or for such longer period as may be required by law.



§ B.6.2 When the Design-Builder believes that all the Work required by the Agreement has been fully
performed, the Design-Builder shall deliver to the Owner’s accountant a final accounting of the
Cost of the Work.



§ B.6.3 The Owner’s accountants will review and report in writing on the Design-Builder’s final
accounting within 21 days after delivery of the final accounting. Based upon such Cost of the Work
as the Owner’s accountants report to be substantiated by the Design-Builder’s final accounting, and

fails to so initiate resolution of the dispute within the period of time required by Section

Design-Builder.



§ B.6.5 If, subsequent to final payment and at the Owner’s request, the Design-Builder incurs costs
in connection with the correction of defective or non-conforming work as described in Article B.2,
Costs to be Reimbursed, and not excluded by Article B.3, Costs Not to be Reimbursed, the Owner
shall reimburse the Design-Builder such costs and the Design-Builder’s Fee applicable thereto on
the same basis as if such costs had been incurred prior to final payment, but not in excess of the
Guaranteed Maximum Price, if any. If the Design-Builder has participated in savings as provided in
Section 4.4.3.1 of the Agreement, the amount of such savings shall be recalculated and appropriate
credit given to the Owner in determining the net amount to be paid by the Owner to the
Design-Builder.

[COUNTY OF WESTCHESTER

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY LETTERHEAD]




AMENDED AND RESTATED

PRELIMINARY LETTER FOR AUTHORIZATION FOR SALES TAX EXEMPTION




As of August 6, 2009



TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:




     Re: 410, 420, 430, 440, 444 and 460 Saw Mill River Road, Ardsley, NY


Ladies and Gentlemen:




     The County of Westchester Industrial Development IDA (the “IDA”), by this notice, hereby
advises you as follows:



     (a) The IDA constitutes a corporate governmental agency and a public benefit corporation under
the laws of the State of New York and is, therefore, exempt from the imposition of any sales and
use tax. The tax identification number of the IDA is 52-1294265.



     (b) Pursuant to a resolution passed by the IDA on July 14, 2009 (the “Inducement Resolution”),
as amended by resolution passed by the IDA on August 6, 2009, (OSI) Ardsley LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, and its affiliates (collectively, the “Company”) is authorized and appointed by
the IDA to act as agent for and on behalf of the IDA in connection with its renovation of existing
improvements and its purchases, leases, installation, construction, reconstruction, maintenance,
repair and equipping of Project Property (as defined below); and the IDA, based on its
understanding of the IDA’s statute and tax law as of the date hereof, advises that purchases,
leases and rentals of, and demolition, installation, construction, maintenance and repair contracts
relating to Project Property (as defined below), made and/or entered into by or on behalf of the
Company in its capacity as agent for the IDA, are exempt from New York State and local sales and
use taxes. The Company may perform any of its duties as agent of the IDA through sub-agents which
sub-agents may include contractors, sub-contractors or any of the Company’s subsidiaries,
affiliates or related companies (any such sub-agent, a
“Sub-Agent”). It is expressly agreed that the Company will remain responsible for any and all acts
of any such Sub-Agents as if such acts were performed by the Company itself.



 









 





     (c) As used herein, “Project Property” shall mean and include (i) so much of the building and
improvements to be constructed, and the materials incorporated into or installed therein, as are
intended upon completion to be occupied by the Company (the “Project Facility”) at 410, 420, 430,
440, 444 and 460 Saw Mill River Road, Ardsley, NY, and located in the Town of Greenburgh, County of
Westchester, State of New York, together with (ii) furniture, fixtures, furnishings, machinery and
equipment to be installed in the Project Facility for use in the operation thereof; provided,
however, that any Project Property shall have a useful life of one year or more and shall be for
the use of the Company and/or its affiliates and/or a contractor or subcontractor engaged by the
Company, as agent for the IDA, and for no other entity. In the case of rental arrangements of
Project Property, such arrangements either (x) provide for a purchase option on the part of the
Company, or (y) constitute a capital lease. Any maintenance contracts relating to Project Property
shall only be with respect to Project Property having a useful life of one year or more, the
replacement of parts (other than parts that contain materials or substances that are consumed in
the operation of such Project Property where such parts must be replaced whenever the substance is
consumed), or the making of repairs, but shall not include maintenance of the type as shall
constitute janitorial services.



     (d) Accordingly, all vendors, lessors, contractors and subcontractors are hereby authorized to
rely on this letter (or on a photocopy or facsimile of this letter) as evidence that purchases,
leases and rentals of, and maintenance and repair contracts relating to, Project Property, to the
extent they are consistent with this letter and or entered into by the Company [or by a contractor
or subcontractor engaged by the Company], as agent for the IDA, are exempt from all New York State
and local sales and use taxes.



     (e) The Company agrees that it shall include the provision set forth on Attachment I annexed
hereto (through an attached rider or otherwise) in and as part of each contract, invoice, bill or
purchase order entered into by the Company as agent for the IDA in connection with the Project
Property.



     (f) The Company should be aware that the New York State General Municipal Law requires that it
file an annual statement with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance regarding the
value of sales tax exemptions that the Company and its agents, consultants or subcontractors have
claimed with respect to the Property. The penalty for failure to file such statement is the
suspension or removal of the Company’s authority to act as the IDA’s agent and the recapture of any
benefits claimed pursuant to this letter. Prior to any purchase being made under this Preliminary
Letter for Authorization of Sales Tax Exemption, the Company, and any sub-agent appointed by the
Company, must complete and submit to the IDA Form ST-60 which is published by the New York State
Department of Taxation and Finance. This Preliminary Letter for Authorization of Sales Tax
Exemption will not be effective with respect to any purchases made by the Company, or by any such
sub-agent, until Form ST-60 has been completed and received by the IDA. Failure to comply with the
above requirements
may result in the loss of sales and use tax exemptions obtained pursuant to this Preliminary Letter
for Authorization of Sales Tax Exemption.



-2-









 





     (g) In exercising this agency appointment, the Company, its agents, sub-agents, contractors
and subcontractors (the “Company Agents”) should give the supplier, lessor or vendor a copy of this
letter to show that the Company and/or Company Agents are each acting as agent for the IDA. The
supplier, lessor or vendor should identify the Project Facility as the “(OSI) Ardsley, LLC,
Greenburgh, New York Facility” on each bill or invoice and indicate thereon that the Company and/or
Company Agents acted as agent for the IDA in making the purchase, lease or contract.



     A copy of this letter retained by any vendor or seller may be accepted by such vendor or
seller as an “affidavit, statement or additional evidence, documentary or otherwise, * * *
demonstrating that the purchaser is an exempt organization described in section eleven hundred
sixteen” of the New York Tax Law (the “Tax Law”), as provided by Tax Law §1132(c)(1), thereby
relieving such vendor or seller from the obligation to collect sales and use tax with respect to
the Project Property.



     (h) The IDA, its members, officers, employees and counsel shall have no liability, including,
liability relating to the payment of sales or use tax, or performance obligations under any
contract, invoice, purchase order, lease, sublease, license or sublicense of, or relating to, the
Project Property.



     (i) If, for any reason, sales or use tax is due and payable in connection with the Project
Property, the Company will be liable for the payment of any such sales or use tax.



     (j) The Company agrees that if (i) the Project does not fulfill the purpose for which the
exemptions referred to herein and in the Inducement Resolution are being granted, or (ii) the
Company does not obtain all necessary approvals in order to commence and complete the Project, then
the IDA, in its sole discretion, may require the Company and the Company hereby agrees to reimburse
the IDA for the full amount of any exemptions obtained pursuant to this Preliminary Letter for
Authorization of Sales Tax Exemption.



     (k) The Company releases the IDA and the Company agrees that the IDA shall not be liable for
and agrees to indemnify and hold the IDA and its members, officers, employees and counsel harmless
against, any demands, expenses, taxes, liability, damage, injury, loss or claims caused, arising
out of, or resulting from, or in any way connected with the use or issuance of this Preliminary
Letter for Authorization of Sales Tax Exemption.
