Design/Builder will submit a detailed critical path method (“CPM”) schedule which refines the Progress Schedule and is consistent with the original Milestone Dates. Design/Builder further acknowledges that the timely performance of its
obligations under this Agreement is of the essence, and such time of the essence requirement shall apply to all dates, time limits and time requirements set forth in this Agreement and the Progress Schedule. The Work shall be deemed substantially
completed (“Substantial Completion”) on the date when all of the following shall have occurred: (a) Owner may use and occupy the Project or, if requested by Owner, portions thereof without interference for all of its intended uses
under this Agreement, (b) only minor Punch List items (as such term is defined in Section 11.1(d) hereof), if any, remain incomplete provided they do not interfere with such use and occupancy; and (c) Owner shall have received from
the Department of Buildings of the Town of Hanover, New Jersey all required permits and certificates necessary to occupy and operate the Project, including, if required, a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy. The Work shall be deemed finally

	 	a.	all Work, including all items set forth on the Punch Lists, has been fully and satisfactorily completed in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformance with the Contract Documents
and in full compliance with all applicable laws, rules, requirements and regulations of all Government Authorities having jurisdiction over the Work including required sign-offs;

Underwriters or any successor thereto and all certificates of inspection shall have been issued and delivered to the Owner; and 

  

	 	c.	all required receipts, general releases, releases of liens, affidavits, waivers, guarantees, warranties, bonds, as-built drawings and any other documents required under this
Agreement or the Trade Contracts shall have been issued and delivered to Owner. 

  

	7.2	 Design/Builder shall notify Owner promptly if the Work, or any portion thereof, will not be completed within the time provided for in the Progress Schedule.
If Design/Builder so notifies Owner, or if, in the opinion of Owner reasonably exercised, Design/Builder falls behind in the Progress Schedule for any reason, Design/Builder shall take appropriate action to improve the progress of the Work and
shall, if requested by Owner, submit operational 



  

 19 









	 	 
plans to demonstrate the manner in which the lost time may be regained if possible. Such actions shall not result in an increase in the Final Guaranteed
Maximum Price, Design/Builder’s Fee or General Conditions Costs. 


  

	7.3	On or before the Substantial Completion Date, Design/Builder shall clear, or cause to be cleared, the Project Site and the Project of any debris, construction materials,
rubbish, rubble, discarded equipment or spillage of solid or liquid waste, shall remove all tools, construction equipment, machinery and surplus materials, and shall maintain the Project free of such items until Final Completion. In addition, on or
before the Substantial Completion Date, Design/Builder shall clean, or cause to be cleaned, the Project, as provided in the Construction Documents. If the Project or the Project Site are injured or damaged by Design/Builder or any Trade Contractor
of, or material supplier to, Design/Builder or anyone employed by any of the foregoing or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, Design/Builder, at its sole cost and expense and without additional cost to Owner, promptly shall repair and
restore the portion thereof so damaged or injured to its condition immediately prior to such damage or injury in a manner satisfactory to Owner. If Design/Builder fails to undertake or cause the undertaking of the aforesaid cleaning, removal and
repairs, in such event, the Owner may, at Owner’s sole option, avail itself of any of the remedies provided in this Agreement and, subject to giving 48 hours’ prior written notice to Design/Builder, Owner may also perform, or cause to be
performed, the aforesaid cleaning, removal and repairs and, in such event, all additional expenses incurred by Owner in connection therewith, at Owner’s option, shall be reimbursed to Owner either (a) by Owner not paying Design/Builder
monies then due or next becoming due from Owner to Design/Builder hereunder, or (b) by Design/Builder paying such amounts to Owner on demand, after rendition of a bill or statement therefor. 

  

	7.4	Prior to Substantial Completion of the Work, Owner or Owner’s designees, including, but not limited to, additional Design/Builders retained by Owner to perform services
outside of this Agreement, shall have the right to use or occupy all or any portion of the Project or to install or cause the installation of furniture, furnishings and equipment therein. Such use or occupancy by Owner or Owner’s designees
shall not (a) constitute acceptance by Owner of any element of the Work or the space, systems, materials or equipment incorporated in the Project, (b) be construed as a waiver of any right or claim by Owner in connection with any Work, or
(c) affect the obligations of Design/Builder or any Trade Contractor for any Work which is not in accordance with this Agreement, the respective Trade Contracts or the Contract Documents. Design/Builder shall continue performance of the Work in
a manner which shall not unreasonably interfere with the aforesaid use, occupancy and operation by Owner or Owner’s designees. Design/Builder agrees that it shall not interfere with, or object to, such use or occupancy by Owner or Owner’s
designees and that it shall cooperate with Owner and any designated occupants to facilitate such early occupancy.

shall be using or providing to the Project. Such right of access shall be subject to the reasonable rules of Design/Builder, 



  

 20 









	 	 
which rules (a) shall be for the sole purpose of coordinating such access and for observing all safety and precautionary measures, and (b) shall
not hinder, prohibit or interfere with such access by Owner or Owner’s designees. In addition, Owner may require the use and operation of any completed heating, ventilating or air conditioning equipment at the time that Owner or Owner’s
designees occupy or use any portion of the Project. Any such use or occupancy by Owner shall not affect the warranties and guarantees required under the provisions of Section 8.3, herein. 


  

	7.6	Any claims for extension of the Substantial Completion Date as a result of delays caused by Contemplated Delays (“Extension of Time”) shall be made in writing
within seven (7) days of the occurrence leading to delay and shall set forth in detail (i) the nature of the circumstances which form the basis for each claim; (ii) the date upon which each alleged cause of delay began and ended, or
began to affect the timely prosecution of the Work, or ceased to have an adverse effect upon the timely prosecution of the Work; (iii) and the number of days’ Extension of Time requested as a consequence of each alleged cause of delay.
Design/Builder shall provide such supporting documentation as Owner may require, including, where appropriate, a revised Progress Schedule for performance of the Work, indicating all of the activities affected by the circumstances which form the
basis for the claim. Design/Builder shall not be entitled to separate Extensions of Time for each one of a number of causes of delay which have a concurrent or interrelated effect on the progress of the Work. Owner shall respond to Contractor’s
claim for an extensive of time within five (5) business days, however, Owner shall have the right to defer its decision with reference to any claims made pursuant to the provisions of this Section, until the actual effect or effects of the
circumstances which form the basis for such claims may be fully assessed. 

  
 ARTICLE VIII 
  
 Trade
Contracts 
  

	8.1	Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by Owner, all items of the Work to be performed and all materials, supplies and equipment to be furnished in connection herewith
(other than those portions of the General Conditions Work Items which are required to be performed by Trade Contractors under their respective Trade Contracts) shall be performed by Trade Contractors, materialmen, and suppliers (collectively,
“Trade Contractor”), approved by Owner, pursuant to written Trade Contracts (“Trade Contracts”) awarded by Design/Builder. Design/Builder assures Owner that the Trade Contracts are to be awarded in such a manner that such Trade
Contracts shall, cumulatively, include all Work required of respective trades as shown on the Construction Documents. 

  

	8.2	 It is expressly understood and agreed that no portion of the Work shall be performed, and no materials or equipment required on account of the Work shall be
furnished, by any Trade Contractor unless and until a Trade Contract for the same is entered into between Design/Builder and the Trade Contractor in question in accordance with the provisions of 



  

 21 









	 	 
Section 8.1 hereof and a copy thereof is delivered to Owner, unless Owner expressly waives, in each instance, the requirement that the same be delivered
as aforesaid. 


  

	8.3	Design/Builder shall, and shall require all Trade Contractors to, warrant and represent that all materials and equipment incorporated in the Work shall be new and that the
Work shall be of good quality, free from improper workmanship and defective materials and in strict conformance with the Contract Documents, and all applicable laws, rules, requirements and regulations of any governmental authorities having
jurisdiction over the Work, including the requirements of the Underwriters Laboratory or any successor thereto; 

  

	8.4	Design/Builder shall, and shall require all Trade Contractors to, guarantee all Work for a period of one (1) year after Substantial Completion of the Work, or should
this Agreement and the applicable Trade Contract be sooner terminated by Owner or Design/Builder within one (1) year (or such longer period as may be contained in the Trade Contract in question) after the date of such termination, or such
longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any special warranty required by the Contract Documents or any of the Trade Contracts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Design/Builder achieves Substantial Completion of
a distinct and several building system, the warranties and guarantees on such building system will commence to run on the date Owner issues written approval and acceptance of such system. In the event the Work or any portion thereof is found
defective or not in accordance with the Contract Documents, within such time period, Design/Builder shall itself, or require the appropriate Trade Contractor to correct it promptly after written notice from Owner to do so unless Owner has previously
given written acceptance of such condition. Owner shall give such written notice promptly after discovery of the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing and in recognition that Design/Builder is required to include guarantees of the type contained in
this Section 8.3 in Trade Contracts with Trade Contractors, in the event that Owner shall agree in writing, in its sole discretion, to the inclusion in a specific Trade Contract of a period of guaranty which has a duration of less than one
(1) year, then the obligation of Design/Builder under this Section 8.3 with respect to the work of such Trade Contractor shall be applicable only for the shorter period contained in the Trade Contract; 

  

	8.5	Nothing contained in Section 8.5 shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to any other obligation which Design/Builder might have under the
Contract Documents, including Section 8.4. The establishment of the time periods Section 8.4, or such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any warranty required by the Contract Documents, relates only to the
specific obligation of the Design/Builder and the appropriate Trade Contractor to correct the Work, and has no relationship to the time within which Design/Builder’s or a Trade Contractor’s obligation to comply with the Contract Documents
may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced to establish Design/Builder’s liability with respect to Design/Builder’s obligations other than specifically to correct the Work.

	8.6	Design/Builder shall cause all Trade Contractors to comply with the affirmative action requirements set forth in Article XXVII below.

check all labor performing Work and shall keep accounting and auditing records and procedures in an effort to provide the proper financial management of the Work. In addition Design/Builder shall maintain separate books and records and institute
such other accounting procedures reasonably requested by Owner, in connection with any sales tax exemptions or other tax rebates, credits, exemptions or benefits available to Owner in connection with the Work. Owner shall have the right to audit all
accounting records relating to change orders incurred above the firm fixed price of $7,173,275.00 

  
 ARTICLE XI 
  
 Applications for Payment 
  

	11.1	Owner shall make progress payments to Design/Builder at monthly intervals in accordance with the following procedures: 

  

	 	a.	 On or before the twenty-fifth (25th) day of the calendar month following commencement of the Work and on or before the twenty-fifth (25th) day of each
calendar month thereafter, Design/Builder shall submit to Owner, for review, an application for partial payment (the “Application for Payment”), based upon a schedule of values approved by Owner, in form satisfactory to Owner setting forth
in complete detail (i) the portion of Reimbursable Costs, excluding General Conditions Costs, incurred by Design/Builder in connection with the Work during the immediately preceding thirty (30) day period for which Design/Builder is to be
reimbursed as provided in Section 12.1(c) hereof, (ii) the installment of Design/Builder’s Fee incurred that month and (iii) the actual General Conditions Costs incurred that month. Design/Builder shall be entitled to payment of
that percentage of the Design/Builder’s Fee and General Conditions Costs which is equal to the percentage of the Work completed during the immediately preceding thirty 



  

 23 









	 	 
(30) day period. At no time prior to Final Completion will Design/Builder be entitled to be paid greater than 90% of the Design/Builder’s Fee. Any
materials which are stored but have not been incorporated into the Project shall be listed separately on each Application for Payment, and payment is subject to compliance with Article XXI. All Applications for Payment must be accompanied by such
documents (including written releases of lien from Design/Builder and Trade Contractors) as Owner may require to evidence (i) Design/Builder’s right to the payment claimed and (ii) that title to the equipment or materials incorporated
in the Project, or pre-purchased as provided in Article XXI hereof, is unencumbered; 


  

	 	b.	Each Application for Payment shall constitute a representation by Design/Builder that (i) the partial payment then requested to be disbursed has been incurred by Design/Builder
on account of the Work or is justly due to Trade Contractors on account thereof, (ii) the materials, supplies and equipment for which such Application for Payment is being submitted have been installed or incorporated in the Project or have
been stored at the Project Site or at such off-Project Site storage locations as shall have been approved in writing by Owner, (iii) the materials, supplies and equipment are not subject to any liens or encumbrances, (iv) no
mechanic’s, laborer’s, vendor’s, materialman’s or other liens have been filed, or have been threatened to be filed, in connection with the Project or any of the materials, supplies or equipment incorporated therein or purchased
in connection therewith, or if Design/Builder cannot make such a statement, state in full the reasons therefor, (v) no claims have been filed, or have been threatened to be filed, by any Trade Contractor or anyone claiming through any Trade
Contractor in connection with the Project, or if such claim has been filed, or threatened state in full the reasons therefor, (vi) the Work which is the subject of such Application for Payment has been performed in accordance with the Contract
Documents. Design/Builder shall carefully examine all payment breakdowns and applications for payment submitted by Trade Contractors in an effort to eliminate “front-end loading” and shall under no circumstances request or allow payments
to be made to any Trade Contractor which are “front-end loaded” and which do not accurately reflect the true value of the work performed or the materials, supplies or equipment actually furnished; 

  

	 	c.	 On or before the thirtieth (30th) day after Owner’s receipt of the Application for Payment, and upon Owner’s determination (which determination shall
be made within thirty (30) days) of the amount properly payable to Design/Builder for Work completed to Owner’s satisfaction, Owner shall pay Design/Builder, as part of the Reimbursable Costs and the Design/Builder’s Fee, an amount
equal to the amount approved by Owner, less a hold-back (“retainage”) equal to ten percent (10%) until such time when the work of such Trade Contractor is 50% completed, as determined by Owner of (i) the Trade Contract Costs
(including payments to Trade Contractors for the performance of General Conditions Work Items pursuant to Trade Contracts), (ii) General Conditions Costs, and (iii) Design/Builder’s Fee. There shall be no retainage on
Design/Builder’s Fee or General Conditions Costs. In Owner’s sole 



  

 24 









	 	 
discretion, subject to Owner’s approval, retainage withheld from Trade Contracts which have reached Final Completion may be released. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to require Owner to release such funds. Design/Builder shall process and make payments for all obligations to Trade Contractors which are covered by the Application for Payment so paid by Owner within
ten working (10) days. This provision is strictly for the benefit of Owner in order that satisfactory morale and relations with Trade Contractors be maintained and shall not under any circumstances confer any right upon any third party. This
provision shall be waivable by Owner, in writing, in its absolute discretion; 


  

	 	d.	Within thirty (30) days following Substantial Completion of the Work and submission of an Application for Payment therefor by Design/Builder (and subject to Owner’s
determination of the amount payable to Design/Builder), Owner shall pay to Design/Builder an amount equal to the balance remaining unpaid to Design/Builder on account of Reimbursable Costs, together with the amount of the Design/Builder’s Fee
due and payable, after deducting from monies otherwise due, such amount as Owner may determine, in its sole discretion, to be sufficient to be held back to ensure that there continues to be retained at least two hundred percent (200%) of the
amount (the “Punch List Amount”) necessary to complete Punch List items and replace defective work. Said Application for Payment shall also be accompanied (i) by written releases, executed by each Trade Contractor receiving final
payment under their respective Trade Contracts, waiving their right to file any mechanics, vendors, laborer’s, materialman’s or other liens against the Project, and (ii) by such other certificates, as-built drawings, maintenance
manuals, operating instructions, permits and other documents or instruments required to be delivered to Owner at Final Completion of the Work under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that if, at any
time after any of the hold-back with respect to a particular Trade Contract is released, any lien or claim is filed against the Project which relates to work performed or materials, supplies or equipment furnished by such Trade Contractor or its
sub-Trade Contractors, and Design/Builder has failed to cancel or discharge such lien or claim in accordance with Article XIII, Owner, at its option, shall be entitled to hold back from the sums then due or next becoming due to said Trade Contractor
an amount equal to all costs and expenses to be incurred in causing such lien or claim to be discharged of record, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements; 

  

	 	e.	 Within sixty (60) days following Final Completion of the Work, Owner, subject to revision and approval, upon submission of a final Application for Payment
therefor by Design/Builder (accompanied by Design/Builder’s general release of liens and consent of surety together with all as-built drawings, certificates, general releases, releases of lien and other documents instruments not theretofore
delivered to Owner as required under Article II, hereof) shall pay to Design/Builder an amount equal to the aggregate of the balance remaining unpaid to Design/Builder on account of Reimbursable Costs, and the Design/Builder’s Fee, and the
balance of any amounts 



  

 25 









	 	 
held back under each Trade Contract. The acceptance by Design/Builder of final payment following Final Completion of the Work shall constitute a waiver of
all those claims which Design/Builder had knowledge of, unless the same is set forth in writing and identified by Design/Builder as unsettled at the time of Final Completion, and then, only for a period of one (1) year, as set forth in Article
XXIX hereof; and 


  

	 	f.	Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Owner, in its judgment reasonably exercised, may withhold from any payment due or to become due to
Design/Builder any amount which Owner, in its good faith opinion, deems sufficient to reimburse Owner for its actual or potential expenditures for the account of Design/Builder or to secure Owner’s remedies in consequence of any actual or
potential default or breach by Design/Builder under this Agreement, including without limitation, Owner’s opinion that the balance payable to Design/Builder under this Agreement would be insufficient to complete the Work, and in connection with
any of the foregoing, Owner may nullify, in whole or in part, any previously approved Application for Payment. Prior to any such action by the Owner, Owner shall give written notice of its intention and the basis for its proposed action. The
Design/Builder shall have fifteen (15) days thereafter within which to cure any conduct which Owner has stated is the basis for its determination. Only if Design/Builder has not cured, or commenced to cure the conduct which is the basis of
Owner’s determination within said fifteen (15) days may Owner withhold any payments. Owner may, in its sole discretion, issue joint checks although nothing herein shall obligate Owner to do so. 

  

	11.2	No payment by Owner of any Application for Payment shall constitute acceptance by Owner of Work completed or stored material, and no such payment shall be construed as a
waiver of any right or claim by Owner in connection with such Work or stored material. 

  
 ARTICLE XII 
  
 Assignment 
  

	12.1	Design/Builder shall not assign this Agreement or the performance of all or any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Owner, which consent may be
given or withheld in Owner’s sole and exclusive discretion. The provisions of this Section 12.1 may not be waived or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by Owner. 

  

	12.2	 This Agreement shall be freely assignable by Owner without the consent of Design/Builder (hereafter referred to as a “Permitted Assignee”),
provided (i) such Permitted Assignee agrees to assume Owner’s obligations and liabilities hereunder; and (ii) Permitted Assignee demonstrates it has the capacity to proceed with the Project. If Owner shall assign this Agreement as
aforesaid, Design/Builder agrees that it shall deal with such Permitted Assignee or other approved assignee in the place and stead of Owner and that it shall perform 



  

 26 









	 	 
all of its obligations under this Agreement and perform and complete the Work in the manner required by this Agreement. In such event, such Permitted
Assignee or other approved assignee may, among other things, use the Contract Documents without payment of any additional fees or charges and may enforce the obligations of Design/Builder hereunder with the same force and effect as if approved
assignee assumes the obligations and liabilities of Owner. Upon such assignment and assumption by the Permitted Assignee or approved assignee, Owner shall be released from all of its payment and other obligations and liabilities hereunder arising
from Work performed subsequent to the assignment. Design/Builder shall certify, in the form reasonably required by any such Permitted Assignee or other approved assignee, that the undertakings contained herein as to the obligations in favor of such
Permitted Assignee or other approved assignee shall run in favor of such Permitted Assignee or other approved assignee. 


  
 ARTICLE XIII 
  
 Liens and Claims 
  

	13.1	If, at any time, there is any lien or claim of any kind whatsoever filed against the Project by a Trade Contractor or anyone claiming under or through Design/Builder or a
Trade Contractor for work performed or materials, supplies or equipment furnished in connection with the Work, then, Design/Builder shall, within seven (7) days after notice from Owner, commence to cause such lien or encumbrance to be canceled
and discharged of record by bonding or otherwise, and thereafter diligently pursue such cancellation or discharge, at Design/Builder’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Trade Contractor’s entitlement to a lien arises
only because Owner wrongfully fails to make payment properly due to Design/Builder for such sum on account of Trade Contractor, Owner shall reimburse Design/Builder for the reasonable cost (including reasonable attorney’s fees) of causing such
lien to be canceled and discharged of record. 

  

	13.2	If any lien required to be removed pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof is not canceled and discharged of record as aforesaid, Owner shall have the right to take such action
as Owner shall deem appropriate (which shall include the right to cause such lien to be canceled and discharged of record by bonding or otherwise but shall not include the satisfaction thereof by payment), and in such event, all costs and expenses
incurred by Owner in connection therewith (including, without limitation, premiums for any bond furnished in connection therewith, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), shall be paid by Design/Builder to Owner on demand, or at the
option of Owner, deducted from any payment then due or thereafter becoming due from Owner to Design/Builder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If Design/Builder fails to discharge lien by bonding or otherwise, Owner can satisfy the
lien by payment and deduct all costs and expenses from sums due to Design/Builder. In addition, Owner shall have the right to withhold double the lien amount from sums due to Design/Builder and, Design/Builder shall not be entitled to payment of any
monies until the Design/Builder so discharges such lien or claim. 

  

 27 








 ARTICLE XIV 
  
 Events of Default and 
 Termination or Suspension of Agreement 
  

	14.1    a.	If, at any time during the performance of the Work, any of the following events (“Events of Default”) shall occur: 

  

	 	i.	Design/Builder shall default in observing or performing any of its obligations under this Agreement and such default shall not have been cured or Design/Builder has not commenced to
cure within five (5) days after Owner shall have given Design/Builder written notice thereof; or 

  

	 	ii.	Design/Builder becomes a party to any insolvency proceeding in a capacity as a debtor, and, in the case of any involuntary proceeding only, such proceeding is not stayed or
discharged within thirty (30) days after the commencement of same; the terms “insolvency proceeding” as used herein shall include the filing of a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code by

the appointment, with or without the consent of Design/Builder, of any trustee, custodian, receiver or liquidator of Design/Builder or of any of its property or assets or Design/Builder’s making an assignment for the benefit of creditors; then,
to the extent permitted by law, Owner may serve written notice upon Design/Builder terminating this Agreement on date specified by Owner in said notice; 

  

	 	b.	 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Owner may, at Owner’s option, exercised upon five (5) days written notice to Design/Builder, terminate the
employment of Design/Builder. Title to any or all materials, Work in process, including design documents, drawings, specifications, catalog cuts, etc, dies and tools (whether on the Project Site or located at an off-Project Site location) which are
necessary for, or useful in connection with, the Final Completion of the Work, as determined by Owner, shall vest in Owner and Owner may take possession of and utilize the same for Final Completion of the Work, or of any portion thereof.
Design/Builder shall be entitled to payment of an amount equal to (i) the aggregate of (x) the actual unpaid costs incurred by Design/Builder in its proper performance of the Work up to the date of termination, plus the portion of the
Design/Builder’s Fee attributable thereto (including that portion of such costs and the Design/Builder’s Fee theretofore held back which Design/Builder shall be entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement), and
(y) the fair market value of such tools and dies 



  

 28 









	 	 
(less, if Owner elects to return the tools and dies to Design/Builder, the salvage value thereof), less (ii) an amount equal to the additional costs and
expenses (including attorneys fees and disbursements) incurred by Owner over those which would have been incurred by it in connection with the Project had Design/Builder not defaulted hereunder, including, without limitation, the additional expense
of engaging another Design/Builder/general contractor as well as additional compensation for Consultant’s additional services made necessary by such default. Design/Builder shall be entitled to such payment only after Final Completion of the
Work. Owner shall have the right to set-off against the aforesaid payment any amounts then due and payable by Design/Builder to Owner hereunder or which may accrue as damages owing by Design/Builder to Owner under the terms of this Agreement;



  

	 	c.	Upon the happening of any of the events set forth in subsection b of this Section 14.1, Owner shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies, to complete or
cause the Work to be completed, by such means, and in such manner, by agreement or otherwise, as Owner deems advisable, subject, however, to the terms and conditions of the payment and performance bonds required of Trade Contractors hereunder;


  

	 	d.	If it shall be determined that a termination under this Section 14.1 was wrongful or unjustified, such termination shall be deemed to be a termination for the convenience of
Owner under Section 14.2 hereof, and the sole right, remedy and recourse of Design/Builder against Owner shall be governed and determined by said Section 14.2; and 

  

	 	e.	In the event of the happening of any of the events set forth in subsection b of this Section 14.1, Design/Builder shall not interfere, directly or indirectly, with Owner’s
right and attempt to complete the Work by others or any of the Trade Contractors. 

  

	14.2    a.	Owner, at any time, and for any reason whatsoever in Owner’s sole discretion, may terminate this Agreement for its own convenience. Any such termination shall be effected by
delivering to Design/Builder a notice of termination specifying the date upon which such termination shall become effective and any specific portion of the Work to be completed by Design/Builder prior to such termination. Upon receipt of any such
notice of termination, Design/Builder shall: 

  

	 	i.	stop all Work under this Agreement on the date, and to the extent, specified in the notice of termination; 

  

	 	ii.	enter into no further Trade Contracts except as may be necessary for completion of such portion of the Work under this Agreement, if any, which is not terminated;


  

 29 









	 	iii.	unless directed otherwise by Owner, terminate all Trade Contracts entered into by Design/Builder to the extent that they relate to portions of the Work to be performed subsequent to
the date specified in the notice of termination as the date upon which such termination shall become effective; 

  

	 	iv.	to the extent required by Owner and subject to the prior written approval of Owner, settle all outstanding liabilities and all claims arising out of such termination of Trade
Contracts, which approval by Owner shall be final for all the purposes of this Section 14.2; provided, however, that in the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14.2, no Trade Contractor shall
be entitled to recover anticipated profits on account of Work unperformed or on account of materials or equipment not incorporated or installed in the Project, nor for reimbursement for losses arising out of matters covered by insurance, but shall
be limited to recovering only the reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Trade Contractor for Work satisfactorily performed or materials, supplies and equipment procured, fabricated, incorporated or installed in the
Project prior to the effective date of such termination; 

  

	 	v.	if applicable, transfer title to Owner, to the extent not already vested in Owner, and deliver in the manner, at the times, and to the extent, if any, directed by Owner
(x) fabricated or unfabricated parts, Work in progress, completed Work, supplies and other materials and equipment produced as a part of, or acquired in connection with the performance of, the Work terminated by such notice of termination, and
(y) copies of the Contract Documents and other drawings, sketches, specifications, shop drawings, information and other relevant documentation directly related to the performance of the Work; 

  

	 	vi.	complete performance of such part of the Work as shall have been specified in the notice of termination to be completed on or before the effective date of such termination;


  

	 	vii.	as requested by Owner and for reasonable compensation, cooperate with the transition of the Project to another Design/Builder or otherwise; and 

  

	 	viii.	prior to the effective date of such termination, take such actions as may be necessary, or as Owner may reasonably direct, for the protection and preservation of the property
related to the Work and the Project which is in the possession of Design/Builder and in which Owner has or may acquire an interest; 

  

	 	b.	 In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14.2(a), Design/Builder shall be paid by Owner for (i) the actual unpaid
Reimbursable Costs 



  

 30 









	 	 
incurred by Design/Builder in connection with its performance of the Work up to the date of such termination and any reasonable demobilization costs plus the
portion of the Design/Builder’s Fee attributable thereto, less (ii) any sums properly deductible by Owner under the terms of this Agreement. Design/Builder agrees that the pendency or existence of any dispute between Design/Builder and
Owner shall in no manner whatsoever affect or interfere with the discharge of Design/Builder’s obligations hereunder and that should Design/Builder fail to perform its obligations under this Section 14.2 Design/Builder shall be liable to
Owner for any and all damages which Owner may sustain as a result of such failure on the part of Design/Builder to perform said obligations. 


  

	14.3	Owner may, at any time and for any reason, direct Design/Builder to suspend, resequence, stop or interrupt the Work or any portion thereof for a period of time. Such
direction shall be in writing and shall specify the period during which the Work is to be stopped. Design/Builder shall resume the Work upon the date specified in such direction or upon such other date as Owner may thereafter specify in writing.
Said suspension, resequencing, stoppage or interruption shall be recognized as a Contemplated Delay and disposed of in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.3 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Work is suspended for
more than sixty (60) days in the aggregate due to Contemplated Delays which do not arise out of the acts or omissions of Design/Builder or its Trade Contractors or anyone for whom they are liable, then Design/Builder shall be entitled to
request an equitable adjustment to this Contract for additional actual costs incurred by it. 

  

	14.4	If, without good cause, Owner shall fail for a period of thirty (30) days after the due date to make payment on the undisputed portion of any approved Application for
Payment, or if the Work should be stopped (a) for a period in excess of one hundred and twenty (120) days at Owner’s request, or (b) for a period in excess of one hundred and eighty (180) days under an order of any court or
other public authority having jurisdiction over the Work or the Project or as a result of an act of government, such as a declaration of national emergency making materials unavailable through no act or fault of Design/Builder then Design/Builder
immediately shall serve Owner with notice thereof, and, if Owner shall fail (i) to cause all such undisputed portions of such Application for Payment to be paid within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, or (ii) to rescind
Owner’s order suspending the Work to which reference is made in this Section 14.3 within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, or if the delay described in this Section 14.3 shall be continuing beyond ten (10) days
after receipt of such notice, then this Agreement may be terminated by Design/Builder by written notice to Owner setting forth the date of termination, which date shall not be sooner than ten (10) days after the date of the notice. If, within
said ten (10) day period, the matter giving rise to Design/Builder’s right to terminate this Agreement shall not have been cured or discontinued, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated for convenience and Design/Builder shall be
compensated in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 14.2(b) hereof.

 ARTICLE XX 
  
 Hazardous Materials 
  

	20.1	Design/Builder shall keep the Project Site to be kept free of Hazardous (as defined hereinafter) Materials and Substances. Without limiting the foregoing, Design/Builder
shall not cause or permit the Project or the Project Site to be used to generate, manufacture, refine, transport, treat, store, handle, dispose, transfer, produce or process Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Substances, except in compliance with all
applicable Federal, State and local laws or regulations, nor shall Design/Builder cause or permit, as a result of any intentional or unintentional act or omission on the part of Design/Builder or any contractor, Trade Contractor, vendor, a release

 ARTICLE XXI 
  
 Materials and Equipment 
  

	21.1	As the Work progresses, subject to the provisions of Exhibit F, title to each item of material or equipment shall vest in Owner upon the earlier to occur of
(a) incorporation of such item into the Work, or (b) payment for such item by Owner. Each such item shall then become the sole property of Owner, subject to the right of Owner to reject the same at any time prior to Final Completion for
failure to conform to Owner’s standards or the Contract Documents; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to transfer the risk of loss from Design/Builder or any Trade Contractor to Owner prior to the delivery of
such materials or equipment to the Project Site, whether such loss is the result of damage, theft, vandalism or any other cause, or whether the same was caused by the negligent acts or omissions of Design/Builder or any Trade Contractor or their
failure to comply with their respective obligations under this Agreement or the Trade Contracts. Accordingly, Design/Builder shall be responsible for arranging for insuring materials and equipment until the same are delivered to the Project Site and
incorporated in the Work, and Owner shall be responsible for insuring materials and equipment from and after the date the same are incorporated into the Work, all as set forth in Exhibit F hereof. 

  

	21.2	Design/Builder shall, and shall require each Trade Contractor, to warrant that (a) title to all materials and equipment incorporated in the Work or paid for by Owner,
including, without limitation, title to materials and equipment pre-purchased in accordance with the provisions of Section 21.3 hereof, shall pass to Owner free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests and encumbrances of every kind,
and (b) that no materials or equipment covered by any Application for Payment will have been acquired by any other person performing work at the Project site or furnishing materials and equipment in connection with the Work subject to an
agreement under which an interest therein or an encumbrance thereon shall have been retained by the seller or otherwise imposed by seller or any other person. 

  

	21.3    a.	Design/Builder shall be entitled to arrange for the pre-purchase of certain materials and equipment to be incorporated in the Work provided that Owner shall have given its prior
written consent thereto in each instance. If Owner shall have approved any such pre-purchasing of materials or equipment as aforesaid, Design/Builder shall pre-purchase the same. In such event, Design/Builder shall be entitled to requisition for
100% of the cost of such pre-purchased materials or equipment. Design/Builder, upon submission of its Application for Payment, shall deliver to Owner a bill of sale with respect to the materials or equipment pre-purchased evidencing unencumbered
title to the same in Owner’s name, together with any warranties, certificates of insurance and other documents requested by Owner evidencing that such materials and equipment are covered by such insurance as shall have been specified by Owner;


  

 35 









	 	b.	All materials and equipment pre-purchased as aforesaid shall be stored at the Project Site or at such off-Project Site storage locations as shall have been approved in writing in
each instance by Owner. Any materials or equipment stored at such off-Project Site storage locations shall be segregated from materials and equipment of others, shall be clearly labeled to evidence Owner’s ownership interest and shall otherwise
be stored in such manner as directed by Owner. Insurance premiums, storage costs and other reasonable expenses incurred by reason of such off-Project Site storage in accordance with the provisions of this Section 21.3 shall be included in the
Reimbursable Costs. The risk of loss or damage to such materials and equipment shall remain with Trade Contractor until the incorporation of such materials and equipment in the Work, to the extent and as set forth in Section 21.1 hereof.


  

	 	c.	All materials and equipment which are pre-purchased by Design/Builder as provided herein shall provide that if, upon inspection of the same by Owner, or if, upon incorporation of
the same in the Project, Owner determines that such materials or equipment, or any portion thereof, are faulty or defective in any respect, such materials or equipment, or portion thereof, shall be replaced, without increase in the Final Guaranteed
Maximum Price, Design/Builder’s Fee or General Conditions Costs, within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice to such effect from Owner. If replacement can not be achieved within thirty (30) days Design/Builder shall notify
Owner of the reasons why replacement cannot be achieved within thirty (30) days and provide Owner with a reasonable estimate of when replacement will be achieved. 

  
 ARTICLE XXII 
  
 Substitutions 
  

	22.1    a.	The products, materials and equipment of manufacturers referred to in the Construction Documents shall establish the standard of quality and design required by Owner. Anything
contained in the Construction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, materials of manufacturers other than those specified may be used only if accepted by Owner as provided in this Article XXII. 

  

	 	b.	Owner shall be the judge of equivalency of proposed substitute materials. Design/Builder shall make written recommendations of acceptance or rejection of substitute products,
materials or equipment to Owner. Owner shall then issue to Design/Builder written approval or rejection of the substitution. Design/Builder shall inform the appropriate Trade Contractor of said approval or rejection. Owner, in its sole discretion,
may authorize rejection of a proposed substitution. 

  

 36 









	22.2    a.	When two or more products are specified in the Construction Documents for an item of Work, any one thereof shall be deemed acceptable and Design/Builder shall have the choice as to
which product to use. 

  

	 	b.	When only one product is specified in the Construction Documents for an item of Work and the term “or equal” is used in connection with such product, Design/Builder may
offer a substitution by submitting a written application to Owner in sufficient time (taking into account the progress of the Work, the period of delivery of the goods concerned and adequate time for Owner’s review), setting forth and fully
identifying (i) the proposed substitute, together with substantiating data, samples, brochures and other supporting documentation of the substitute it proposed, including, without limitation, evidence that the proposed substitution (w) is
equal in quality and serviceability to the specified item, (x) will not entail changes in detail, schedule and construction of related Work, (y) conforms with the design of the Project and its artistic intent, and (z) will not result
in an increase in the cost of the Work or, alternatively, will result in a cost change as indicated in the application, and (ii) the changes in other parts of the Work required by reason of the proposed substitute, and the cost consequences
associated therewith. 

  

	 	c.	When only one product is specified in the Construction Documents for an item of Work and the term “or equal” is not used in connection with such product, Owner, in its
sole and absolute discretion may authorize the rejection of any substitution proposed by Design/Builder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such specified product shall become unavailable for a material period of time and Owner receives reasonably
satisfactory proof from Design/Builder that the same shall be unavailable for reasons other than the failure of Design/Builder or a Trade Contractor to order such product in a timely manner, consistent with the Contract Documents and the scheduling
requirements for the Work, then, in such event, Owner shall consent to such substitution, in which event any change in costs incurred in connection with the use of such substitution shall be confirmed by a Change Order and included in the cost of
the Work hereunder. 

  

	22.3	Design/Builder shall support any request for a substitution with sufficient evidence to permit a fair and equitable recommendation to Owner on the merits of the proposal. Any
item by a manufacturer other than those cited in the Construction Documents, or of brand name, or model number or size or generic species other than those cited in the Construction Documents, shall be considered a substitution.


  

	22.4	Acceptance of substitutions shall not relieve Design/Builder from responsibility for compliance with all of the requirements of the underlying Agreement Documents. If changes
in other parts of the Work are required by reason of approved substitutions, the costs of any such changes shall be included in the cost of the Work. 

  

 37 









	22.5	In no event shall the Project Schedule be adjusted by any circumstance resulting from a proposed substitution. Additionally, there shall be no increase in compensation
related thereto, unless Design/Builder has notified Owner, in accordance with this Article, that the cost of the substitution is an increase in the value of the substituted item, and Owner has approved such increase with the issuance of a Change
Order in accordance with Article XXIII hereof. 

  
 ARTICLE XXIII 
  
 Changes in the Work

  

	23.1    a.	A Change Order shall be the instrument required to authorize any change in the Work which would result in (i) a change in the basic character, design intent or scope of the
Project, which Design/Builder represents as having served as the basis of the Guaranteed Maximum Price in accordance with Section 3.1(b) hereof, (ii) a deviation from design standards established for the Project or any part thereof, which
Design/Builder represents as having served as the basis of the Guaranteed Maximum Price in accordance with Section 3.1(b) hereof, (iii) an extension of the Milestone Dates, Substantial Completion Date or the Final Completion Date for which
Design/Builder is entitled to an extension of time under this Agreement or (iv) other circumstances for which the Final Guaranteed Maximum Price is to be increased or decreased to the extent expressly provided for in this Agreement.


  

	 	b.	Owner, without invalidating or abandoning this Agreement, may at any time require changes in the Work consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions. All such required
changes in the Work shall be requested in writing by Owner (a “Request for Proposal”); shall be submitted to Design/Builder; and, in order to be deemed part of, or deleted from, the Work and authorized by Owner, shall be executed in the
manner set forth below: 

  

	 	i.	 Within seven (7) days or if not practicable within a reasonable amount of time from Design/Builder’s receipt of a Request for Proposal, Design/Builder
shall prepare and furnish to Owner a signed statement (“Proposal”), in a form satisfactory to Owner, setting forth in detail, with suitable breakdowns by trades and work classifications, and using the “unit price” and/or other
costing method specified by Owner, Design/Builder’s estimate of (x) the cost, or savings, of the change reflected in the Request for Proposal, which cost shall be at the best price obtainable for, and shall reflect the most economical
manner of affecting, such Change, (y) the resulting increase or decrease in the cost of the Work, and (z) the changes in the Work or the Progress Schedule (including the Substantial Completion Date and the Final Completion Date) which
would result from implementation of the Request for Proposal. Design/Builder shall not be entitled to any increase in Design/Builder’s Fee or General Conditions Costs unless the change represents a material change in 



  

 38 









	 	 
the nature of the Project which results in a significant increase in Design/Builder’s responsibilities; 


  

	 	ii.	If Owner approves the Design/Builder’s Proposal, Owner shall issue to Design/Builder a written change order (the “Change Order”) signed by Owner, and the Substantial
Completion Date and the Final Completion Date, the Guaranteed Maximum Cost and the Contract Documents, as the case may be, shall be adjusted if required in accordance with the terms of such Change Order. All other terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; 

  

	 	c.	Owner, in its sole discretion, can direct Design/Builder to perform work upon issuance of a Field Directive. If Design/Builder and Owner disagree on the value of such work or on
whether such work is part of Design/Builder’s Work under this Agreement, Design/Builder must so notify Owner in writing within five (5) days of receipt of the Field Directive and shall submit a proposal in accordance with
Section 23.1(b)(i), but shall nonetheless perform such work. Failure of Design/Builder to so notify Owner shall be deemed a waiver by Design/Builder of any increase in the Final Guaranteed Maximum Price, Design/Builder’s Fee or General
Conditions Costs and a waiver of any claim for an extension of time. 

  

	 	d.	Any work performed by Design/Builder or any Trade Contractor which is contrary to the Work, as required by the Contract Documents, shall be performed at Design/Builder’s or
such Trade Contractor’s sole risk, cost and expense, unless the same shall have been authorized by a Change Order, or an Emergency Change Order therefor shall have been confirmed by Owner by a duly issued Change Order, in accordance with
Article XXIII hereof. 

  

	23.2    a.	If Owner shall dispute any of the items set forth in the Proposal, then Owner shall give Design/Builder written notice of such dispute, which notice shall set forth (i) those
items in the Proposal which Owner disputes, (ii) those items in the Proposal which Owner does not dispute, and (iii) whether Owner desires that Design/Builder perform any portion of the change (x) corresponding to a non-disputed item,
or (y) corresponding to a disputed item. 

  

	 	b.	If Owner’s dispute notice shall direct Design/Builder to perform any change corresponding to a non-disputed item, that portion of the Proposal which related to the non-disputed
item, together with Owner’s direction to Design/Builder to perform the change corresponding to the non-disputed item, as set forth in Owner’s dispute notice, shall constitute a validly issued Change Order, and Design/Builder shall promptly
undertake to perform the same. 

  

	 	c.	 If Owner’s dispute notice shall direct Design/Builder to perform any change corresponding to a disputed item, Owner’s dispute notice shall be deemed a
notice of 



  

 39 









	 	 
demand for prompt resolution of the subject matter of the dispute by the mutual agreement of the parties, failing which it shall be resolved as provided in
Section 20.12 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Design/Builder shall promptly undertake to perform and pursue prosecution of the change corresponding to the disputed item during the pendency of any such resolution and must within five
(5) days notify the Owner in writing that the work is being performed under protest in order for Design/Builder to preserve its claim to compensation for such work. A determination reached by mutual agreement or order rendered by a court of law
relative to the disputed item, together with Owner’s direction to Design/Builder to perform the change corresponding to the disputed item, as set forth in Owner’s dispute notice, shall constitute a validly issued Change Order. For purposes
of this subparagraph (c) of this Section 23.2 only, however, such Change Order shall not, without a corresponding determination reached by mutual agreement or rendered by the court, as the case may be, obligate Owner to pay any additional
monies to Design/Builder, and shall not extend the Substantial Completion Date or the Final Completion Date except to the extent so determined by the parties or ordered by the court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the pendency of any such
dispute, Design/Builder shall be entitled to receive payments on account of actual out-of-pocket Costs incurred in performing the change corresponding to the disputed item. 


  

	23.3	When the Design/Builder is performing a change(s) in the work pursuant to Article XXIV and/or disputed work pursuant to Section 29.4 and/or work the Design/Builder
believes is extra work caused by an act or omission of Owner, the Design/Builder shall furnish the Owner daily with a written statement signed by a site representative of the Design/Builder stating the following: 

  

	 	a.	The names and number of workmen employed for such work, the number of hours employed and the nature of the work each workman is doing; and 

  

	 	b.	The nature and quality of any materials, equipment furnished or used in connection with the performance of such work and the name of the entity from whom materials and/or equipment
were purchased or rented. 

  

	23.4	No claim against the Owner for extra compensation or damages and/or an extension of time to complete shall be made or asserted in an action or proceeding, at law, or in
equity unless the Design/Builder shall have strictly complied with the requirements relating to the giving of notice and information with respect to such claims as provided in this Article XXIII or any other provision of this Agreement. The failure
of the Design/Builder to fully comply with such notice provisions shall be deemed a waiver of all such claims for extra compensation and/or damages and/or extensions of time to complete. 

  

	23.5	 When paid by Owner to Design/Builder, the compensation specified in a Change Order shall constitute full payment for the additional Work covered thereby and
for any delay, disruption, cost, or expense occasioned by reason of such change and shall release Owner 



  

 40 









	 	 
from any further liability in respect of the same and the Change Order shall so state on its face. 


  

	23.6	No time extension shall be granted by reason of the issuance of any Change Order unless it is expressly stated therein. 

  

	23.7	Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Design/Builder shall have the authority to order “emergency changes” in the Work, without the prior
written approval of Owner, by the issuance of a written order (an “Emergency Change Order”). For purposes of this Agreement, “emergency changes” in the Work shall mean only changes which are required in the case of an emergency
imminently threatening the safety of persons or the Work and which, in the interest of such safety, Design/Builder determines must be made without obtaining the prior written approval of Owner. Design/Builder shall (x) notify Owner that an
Emergency Change Order has been issued within two (2) hours after the same has been issued, which notification shall set forth the reason giving rise to the issuance of the same, and (y) promptly furnish Owner with copies of all such
Emergency Change Orders. Valid Emergency Change orders shall be confirmed by Owner by a duly issued Change Order. 

  

	23.8	Owner shall provide Design/Builder with a list of five emergency telephone numbers. In the event an Emergency Change Order is issued pursuant to Section 23.7,
Design/Builder is obligated to attempt to reach each individual on such list within two hours. If Design/Builder cannot reach any of these individuals, then Design/Builder must notify Owner that an Emergency Change Order has been issued within
24-hours. 

  

	23.9	Design/Builder must provide Owner with a list of emergency telephone numbers whereby Design/Builder can be contacted at any time. 

  

	23.10	Design/Builder shall provide to Owner copies of all change orders issued by Design/Builder to Trade Contractors. 

  
 ARTICLE XXIV 
  
 Inspection and Testing 
  

	24.1	If the underlying Contract Documents or any laws, rules, ordinances or regulations of any Federal, State or local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Work
require that any Work be inspected or tested, Design/Builder shall give Owner timely notice of readiness of the Work for inspection or testing and the date fixed for such inspection or testing. 

  

	24.2    a.	 Whenever, in the opinion of Owner, it is desirable to require special inspection or testing of the Work or its individual components, it shall have authority to do
so 



  

 41 









	 	 
whether or not such Work is then fabricated, installed, covered or completed. All costs and/or time delays incurred in connection with such special
inspection or testing shall be a Reimbursable Cost by the issuance of a Change Order unless it reveals a test failure in which event, Design/Builder shall bear, at its sole cost and expense, all costs of such special inspection or testing,
including, without limitation and Consultant’s additional services made necessary thereby. No inspection performed or failed to be performed by Owner hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any of Design/Builder’s obligations hereunder or be
construed as an approval or acceptance of the Work or any part thereof. 


  

	 	b.	In the event of a test failure of any item of the Work, Owner may require inspection or testing of any or all of the other similar items of the Work. Design/Builder shall bear, at
its sole cost and expense, all costs of such additional inspection or testing, including, without limitation, any consultant’s additional services made necessary thereby. 

  

	24.3	If any Work shall be covered or concealed contrary to the request of Owner or the Contract Documents, such Work, if required by Owner shall be uncovered for examination,
inspection or testing at Design/Builder’s sole cost and expense. If any such test results are below specified minimums, Owner may order additional examination, testing or inspection. Such additional examination, inspection or testing shall be
at Design/Builder’s sole cost and expense. Should Owner have reason to believe that defects exist in any Work which has already been covered or concealed, although no request not to cover or conceal such Work had been previously made by Owner,
such Work shall be promptly uncovered by Design/Builder and subjected to such tests, inspection or examination as may be deemed appropriate by Owner. In such case, the provisions of Sections 24.2(a) and 24.2(b) shall control with respect to the
costs and/or time delays associated with such uncovering. 

  

	24.4	Any Work not approved by Owner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall immediately be reconstructed, made good, replaced or corrected by Design/Builder,
including portions of the Work destroyed or damaged by such removal or replacement, at Design/Builder’s sole cost and expense. All rejected materials shall be removed from the Project site within a reasonable period of time. Acceptance of
materials and workmanship by Owner shall not relieve Design/Builder from its liability for or obligation to replace all Work which is not in full compliance with the underlying Contract Documents. 

  

	24.5	At Owner’s option, Owner may accept defective or nonconforming Work or materials, instead of requiring its removal, correction or replacement, as the case may be, and a
Change Order shall be issued to reflect a reduction in the Guaranteed Maximum Cost, in an amount equal to the aggregate cost of labor and materials which would have been incurred by Design/Builder if Owner had required Design/Builder to repair or
replace such defective nonconforming work in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such adjustment shall be effected whether or not final payment has been made. 

  

 42 








 ARTICLE XXV 
  
 Nondisclosure 
  

	25.1	Without limitation of the provisions of Article XXV hereof, it is agreed that neither Design/Builder nor any Trade Contractor shall divulge information concerning the Project
or concerning Owner or Owner’s operations to anyone without Owner’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, except as otherwise specifically permitted by the Contract Documents and except such public disclosures as
may be required by law. If such disclosure is required by law, Design/Builder or any Trade Contractor in question shall provide Owner with a copy of any such proposed public disclosure in advance and will endeavor to incorporate any comments Owner
may suggest in such regard. 

  

	25.2	No signs advertising the Work to be performed by Design/Builder or any Trade Contractor or identifying any person, firm or entity concerned with the Work to be performed by
Design/Builder or any Trade Contractor shall be allowed at the Project site or elsewhere unless approved in writing by Owner in advance, which approval shall be within Owner’s sole and exclusive discretion. 

  
 ARTICLE XXVI 
  
 Owner’s Right To Perform Work 
 And to Award Separate Contracts; 
 and
Cooperation with Separate Contractors 
  

	26.1	Design/Builder expressly understands that Owner reserve the right to directly engage contractors and other Design/Builders (collectively referred to in this Article XXVI as
contractors) to perform work on the Project. These contractors, may provide additional work beyond the Work covered by this Agreement including, but not limited to, tenant improvements or may perform work covered by this Agreement which is not, in
the opinion of Owner, being performed in keeping with the Project’s objectives of cost, quality and schedule. The Agreements with contractors hired directly by the Owner may include terms, covenants, conditions and warranties different from
those of any Trade Contract or the Contract Documents. Design/Builder shall, without additional compensation, coordinate the Work with the work of such contractors and with the work of Trade Contractors and the Project in general. Design/Builder
shall cooperate with such contractors in providing access to the Project site and to the work as the contractors may reasonably request. Design/Builder shall furnish to such contractors any services which Design/Builder furnishes to Trade
Contractors including, but not limited to, use of hoisting facilities and temporary utilities. Design/Builder shall be compensated for any costs, including without limitation, those arising by virtue of delays or coordination issues arising out of
Owner’s use of other contractors or Design/Builders. 

  

 43 









	26.2	Design/Builder agrees to cooperate with such contractors and to provide such assistance for the purpose of coordinating the work of such contractors and Design/Builder as
well as integrating the Progress Schedule with the schedule of such contractors as may be necessary or proper in the interest of the Project. Design/Builder shall afford Owner and such contractors opportunity to install or cause the installation of
equipment of furnishings in the Project, provided that such installation shall not materially interfere with Design/Builder’s performance of its obligations. 

  

	26.3	If Design/Builder causes damage to the property of Owner or such contractors or to other work or property on the Project Site, Design/Builder shall promptly remedy such
damage as provided in this Agreement. If the Owner or any such contractor causes damage to the Work and Design/Builder is required to remedy such damage, Owner will issue a Change Order in accordance with Article XXIII. 

  

	26.4	Design/Builder understands that performance of incomplete portions of the work of such separate contractors may have to be performed either before, simultaneously with or
after the Work and that the Work may have to be stopped, interrupted or suspended temporarily if, in Owner’s judgment, such stoppage, interruption or suspension is necessary for the timely and efficient completion of the Project. Accordingly,
Design/Builder covenants that, upon request by Owner, it shall stop or suspend any activity or Work during any period which, in Owner’s reasonable judgment, would unreasonably interfere with, or unreasonably delay, prosecution or completion of
the Project. If Owner shall so request that Design/Builder stop, interrupt or suspend any activity or Work, and if and to the extent that there are delays in the performance of the Work as a result thereof and Design/Builder demonstrates that the
Work is actually delayed thereby, then, in such event, the period of time during which the Work shall have ceased shall be recognized as a Contemplated Delay and disposed of in accordance with the provisions of Sections 7.2 and 14.3 hereof.


  
 ARTICLE XXVII 
  
 Equal Opportunity 
  

	27.1	Design/Builder will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, creed, color, national origin, marital status, sex, disability, sexual
preference or age. This provision shall not apply with respect to sex, disability or age where either is a bona fide occupational qualification; nor shall it apply with respect to age where a bona fide retirement plan prevents employment of persons
above a stated age or where there is a statutory requirement imposing age limitations. Design/Builder will take such actions as are necessary to ensure that employees and applicants for employment are treated without regard to their race, creed,
color, national origin, marital status, sex, sexual preference or age. As used herein, the term “treated” shall mean and include, without limitation, the following: recruited, whether by advertising or other means; compensated, whether in
the form of rates of pay or other forms of compensation; selected for training, including apprenticeship; promoted; upgraded; demoted; downgraded; transferred; laid off; and terminated. 

  

 44 









	27.2	Design/Builder will comply with the provisions of all rules, regulations, statutes, ordinances or other laws of all local, State or Federal regulatory or governmental bodies.
Design/Builder shall furnish all information and reports, if applicable, required by such regulatory and governmental bodies to determine Design/Builder’s compliance with the provisions of this Article and such laws, and will permit access to
its books, records and accounts by Owner and any such regulatory or governmental body during regular business hours for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with applicable laws. 

  
 ARTICLE XXVIII 
  
 Claims For Damages 
  

	28.1	In the event that the Design/Builder claims to be sustaining damages by reason of any act or omission of Owner or its agents, Design/Builder must within five (5) days
after such act or omission occurs, notify Owner in writing and within thirty (30) days thereafter or within such additional time in excess of thirty (30) days as may be granted by Owner upon written request of Design/Builder, submit to
Owner verified detailed statements of the damages sustained and documenting evidence supporting such claim for damages and must further comply with the provisions of Section 24.3 and Section 24.4 above. 

  

	28.2	No action or proceeding shall lie or be maintained by Design/Builder against Owner upon any claim arising out of or based upon the Contract Documents or by reason of any act
or omission or any requirements relating to the giving of notices or information, unless such action or proceeding shall be commenced within one (1) year after the Substantial Completion of the Work or, if this Agreement is earlier terminated,
within one (1) year following the date of such earlier termination. This Article XXVIII shall not be deemed or construed to modify any other provision hereof relating to waivers of claims by Design/Builder or to extend any period herein
specifically provided for the initiation of an action relating hereto. Design/Builder shall cause each Trade Contract to contain like provisions to this Article XXVIII and a provision requiring like provisions to be contained in subcontracts of any
tier. 

  
 ARTICLE XXIX 
  
 Additional Provisions 
  

	29.1	Effectiveness of Agreement 

  
 This Agreement, when executed by the parties, shall be effective as of the date first stated above in this Agreement. All understandings and agreements
heretofore had among Design/Builder and Owner with respect to the Project are merged into, or superseded by, this Agreement. This Agreement fully and completely expresses the agreement of the parties with respect to the Work and the Project and
shall not be modified or amended except by written agreement executed by each of the parties hereto. Design/Builder understands and 

  

 45 








 
agrees that no representations of any kind whatsoever have been made to it other than as appear in this Agreement, that it has not relied on any such
representations and that no claim that it has so relied on may be made at any time and for any purpose. 
  

	29.2	Enforcement of Trade Contract 

  
 Design/Builder covenants and agrees that it shall diligently enforce all of the terms, conditions and provisions of each of the Trade Contracts.

  

	29.3	Design Professionals 

  
 Design/Builder agrees to include in each Agreement it has with an Engineer, Architect or other licensed professional (collectively “Design
Professional”) a provision requiring that Owner be an expressed third party beneficiary of such agreement and also such provision shall provide that Owner has an independent right of action against such design professional directly for any
claim, causes of action, demand that Owner has against such Design Professional. 
  

	29.4	Survival of Obligations 

  
 Except as specifically provided for herein, all obligations of Design/Builder survive the completion or termination of the Work. 
  

	29.5	Performance of Work During the Pendency of Disputes 

  
 Unless the parties hereto expressly agree otherwise in writing, in the event that a dispute shall arise under this Agreement in connection with payments
to be made on any Application for Payment, or otherwise, Design/Builder shall continue during the pendency of such dispute to perform its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement and the Work in accordance with Owner’s directives and
shall, in connection therewith, maintain the Progress Schedule, including without limitation, Milestone Dates, the Substantial Completion Date and the Final Completion Date and shall perform all other obligations required to be performed by it under
this Agreement as if no dispute shall have arisen. During the pendency of any such dispute, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Design/Builder shall be entitled to receive payments from Owner only on account of non-disputed items and
payments on account of disputed items shall be deferred until the final resolution of the dispute. 
  

 46 









	29.6	Notices 

  
 Every notice, demand, request, consent, approval or other communication which either party hereto is required or desires to give or make to the other
party hereto shall, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, be effective only if given in writing and delivered by hand and receipted for, or by registered or certified mail, postage-prepaid, return receipt requested, or by overnight
mail as follows:

	29.7	Construction of Language 

  
 The language in this Agreement shall be construed according to its customary meaning within the building industry in the New York City metropolitan area,
except where a specific definition is provided herein. Whenever used, the singular number shall include the plural, and the plural the singular, and the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders. 
  

	29.8	Captions and Titles 

  
 Captions and titles of the different Articles and Sections of this Agreement are solely for the purpose of aiding and assisting in the location of
different material in this Agreement and are not to be considered under any circumstances as parts, provisions or interpretations of this Agreement. 
  

 47 









	29.9	No Waiver 

  
 The failure of Owner to insist upon the strict performance of any provisions of this Agreement, the failure of Owner to exercise any right, option or
remedy hereby reserved, or the existence of any course of performance hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision hereof or of any such right, option or remedy of Owner or as a waiver for the future of any such provision, right,
option or remedy or as a waiver of a subsequent breach thereof. The consent or approval by Owner of any act by Design/Builder requiring Owner’s consent or approval shall not be construed to waive or render unnecessary the requirement for
Owner’s consent or approval of any subsequent similar act by Design/Builder. The payment by Owner of any amount due hereunder with knowledge of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No
provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived unless such waiver shall be in writing signed by Owner. 
  

	29.10 	Indemnification 

  

	 	a.	To the fullest extent permitted by law, Design/Builder shall indemnify and hold harmless Owner, and its respective direct and indirect partners and principals, shareholders,
directors, agents, employees, successors, and assigns (collectively, “Indemnitees”, individually, “Indemnitee”) from and against all losses, claims, costs, damages, and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’
fees and disbursements), arising out of or in connection with (i) any personal injury, sickness, disease or death or damage or injury to, loss of or destruction of property (including tools, equipment, plant and the buildings at the Project
Site but excluding the work itself and excluding costs to the extent such costs are covered by Owner’s Builder’s Risk insurance) including the loss of use resulting therefrom, sustained or purported to have been sustained as a result of
the negligent performance of the Work, to the extent such loss, claim, cost, damage or expense is caused in whole or in part by any act or omission of Design/Builder, the Trade Contractors, or anyone for whose acts Design/Builder or its Trade
Contractors may be liable. Such obligation shall arise regardless of any claimed liability on the part of an Indemnified party. Such obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge or otherwise reduce any other right or obligation which would
otherwise exist as to any Indemnified party. 

  

	 	b.	In any and all claims against any Indemnitee by any employee of Design/Builder, or of its Trade Contractors or anyone directly or indirectly employed by either Design/Builder or its
Trade Contractors or anyone for whose acts either Design/Builder or its Trade Contractors may be liable, the indemnification obligation under this Section 29.10 shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages,
compensation or benefits payable by or for Design/Builder under workers’ or workmen’s compensation acts, disability acts or other employee benefit acts. 

  

 48 









	29.11 	Severability 

  
 If any provision of the underlying Contract Documents is invalid or unenforceable as against any person, party or under certain circumstances, the
remainder of the underlying Contract Documents and the applicability of such provision to other persons, parties or circumstances shall not be affected thereby. Each provision of the underlying Contract Documents shall, except as otherwise herein
provided, be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
  

	29.12 	Rights and Remedies 

  
 The duties and obligations imposed by the Contract Documents and the rights and remedies available thereunder shall be in addition to, and not a
limitation upon, any of the duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available at law or in equity. 
  

	29.13 	Dispute Resolution, Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction 

  

	 	a.	This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, both as to interpretation and performance. Design/Builder hereby (i) irrevocably consents to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New Jersey, County of Middlesex, for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises from or relates to this Agreement; (ii) waives any right it may have
to personal service of summons, complaint, or other process in connection therewith, and agrees that service may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Design/Builder at its last known principal place of business; and (iii) waives
its right to a trial by jury; and 

  

	29.14 	Binding Effect 

  
 It is expressly understood by the parties hereto that delivery by Owner of the within Agreement for review and execution by Design/Builder shall confer no
rights nor impose any obligations on either party, unless and until both Design/Builder and Owner shall have executed this Agreement and duplicate originals thereof shall have been delivered to the respective parties hereto. 
  

	29.15 	Interpretations in Writing 

  

	 	a.	Any and all interpretations of Contract Documents or of any of the Work to be performed or payments to be made relative to the Project must be in writing to be valid.


  

	 	b.	 This provision is not intended to prohibit or deny normal discussion, recommendations, explanations, suggestions, approvals, rejections, and similar activity in
pursuit of the Work at the Project on an oral basis, such as at job conferences at the Project Site. In such instances, the written minutes, 



  

 49 









	 	 
correspondence, shop drawing records, and other written data shall govern over personal claims regarding oral statements made contrary to the written data.



  

	29.16 	Prohibited Interests 

  
 No principal, officer, shareholder, family member, employee, agent or consultant of Design/Builder who, on behalf of Design/Builder, negotiates, makes,
accepts, or approves, or takes part in negotiating, making, accepting, or approving any Trade Contractor or any Trade Contract or other agreement entered into by Design/Builder in connection with the Work, shall become directly or indirectly
interested personally in the Trade Contractor or any Trade Contract or such other agreement. 
  

	29.17 	Integrity and Ethical Conduct 

  
 Design/Builder acknowledges and understands that Owner is committed to have the Work performed in accordance with the highest ethical standards applicable
to, or governing, the conduct of construction practices. In furtherance thereof, Design/Builder hereby agrees to comply with and observe all applicable Federal, State and local laws, rules, regulations, requirements, trade standards and ethical
guidelines governing said conduct. 
  

	29.18 	Independent Contractor 

  
 It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that Design/Builder, in performing its obligations under this Agreement, shall be deemed an
independent contractor. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to mean that Design/Builder and Owner are joint venturers or partners. 
  

	29.19 	Limited Recourse 

  
 The obligations of Owner do not constitute personal obligations of the trustees, officers, shareholders, employees or agents of Owner. All persons dealing
with Owner shall look solely to the assets of Owner for satisfaction of any liability of Owner will not seek recourse against such trustees, officers, shareholders, employees or agents or any of them or any of their personal assets for such
satisfaction.

above written.

 Insurance Requirements 
  
 The following insurance coverages shall form part of this Agreement and shall
be maintained by the party noted: 
  

	A.	Design/Builder shall purchase and maintain a commercial general liability insurance policy which shall name as additional insureds Owner and its respective partners, directors,
officers, employees, agents and representatives. The policy shall be written on an occurrence basis (as distinguished from a “claims made” basis and without so called “sunset” clauses or similar claims reporting restrictions) for
a combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the annual aggregate and shall have no deductible and shall include coverage for contractual liability (including
“X”, “C” and “U” hazards and completed operations), independent contractors’ liability (including completed operations), broad form property damage, products liability, personal injury (employee exclusion deleted),
“X”, “C” and “U” exclusions deleted, incidental medical malpractice and host liquor, broad form comprehensive general liability endorsement (GL404) with exclusions I(B)(4)(5), II (B)(1), and X(B)(1) deleted. The
completed operations coverage shall insure Owner, and such others as Owner may require as additional insureds and shall be kept in force for a period of three (3) years after the date of Final Completion. All such policies shall be endorsed to
be primary with respect to this Project. The Owner’s insurance, if any, shall be deemed excess with respect to the owner only. 

  

	B.	Design/Builder shall purchase and maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Disability Benefits Insurance with limits of $1,000,000 or the prescribed statutory amount,
whichever is greater. This coverage should cover claims under workers’ compensation acts and other employee benefits acts, claims for damages because of bodily injury, including death, and occupational disease. The Design/Builder’s
coverage shall include Employer’s Liability Insurance with a minimum limit of not less than $1,000,000. 

  

	C.	Design/Builder shall purchase and maintain Automobile Liability Insurance with a combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of not less than $1,000,000. The
coverage should include all owned, non-owned and hired vehicles and should cover claims for damages because of bodily injury or death of any person or property damage arising out of ownership, maintenance or use of any motor vehicle.


  

	D.	The Design/Builder shall purchase and maintain Umbrella Liability Insurance in excess of the general liability and automobile insurance coverages with a limit not less than
$10,000,000 per occurrence and in the annual aggregate. 

  

 57 









	E.	The policies referenced in Paragraphs A, C and D above, shall name Owner, together with any respective subsidiary, associated or allied company or firm as the first named insured.
The foregoing policies shall also name as additional insureds such others as may be requested or required. Satisfactory certificates of such insurance shall be filed with Owner. Design/Builder shall not, by its actions or inactions, cause any
insurance policies to be cancelled or permit them to lapse prior to the date of Final Completion, and all insurance policies shall include a clause to the effect that the policy shall not be cancelled or materially changed until 60 days after Owner
has received written notice of such intended change or cancellation, as evidenced by a return receipt of a registered or certified letter. All insurance carriers must be licensed by the State of New York with a minimum Best’s rating of
“A-VIII” or better or with carriers that are acceptable at the discretion of Owner. 

  

	F.	Design/Builder and all Design Professionals retained by the Design/Builder shall maintain a Professional Liability Policy and provide a Certificate of Insurance evidencing such
coverage, having limits of at least one million ($1,000,000.00) dollars available for each claim and in the aggregate. Such insurance shall remain in effect for six (6) years after Project completion. 

  

	G.	Unless otherwise provided, the Owner shall purchase and maintain property insurance upon the entire Work at the Project Site to the full insurable value thereof. This insurance
shall include the interest of Owner, Design/Builder, Trade Contractor and sub-trade contractors in the Work and shall insure against fire and other perils and shall include “all risks” insurance for physical loss or damage including,
without duplication of coverage, theft, vandalism, and malicious mischief, it being expressly understood, however, that this insurance shall exclude tools, equipment, supplies and other similar personal effects owned or rented by Design/Builder or
any Trade Contractor. 

  

	H.	Owner shall file, upon request of Design/Builder, a certificate of evidencing the property insurance carried under Paragraph F. 

  

	I.	Owner and Design/Builder waive all subrogation rights against each other for damages caused by fire or other perils to the extent covered by insurance obtained pursuant to this
Exhibit “E” or any other property insurance applicable to the Work (including property insurance, if any, carried by Design/Builder to insure tools, equipment, supplies and other personal effects owned or rented by
Design/Builder or any Trade Contractors) except such rights as they may have to the proceeds of such insurance held by Owner as trustee. Design/Builder shall require similar waivers in favor of Owner and Design/Builder by Trade Contractors and
sub-trade contractors. 

  

	J.	Owner and Design/Builder agree that said insurance complies with the contractual requirements contained herein. At the request of Owner, Design/Builder shall provide all
documentation supporting the calculation of the premiums charged to Owner including premium invoices, premium allocation methods and calculations, disclosure of type of policy (guaranteed cost, retro, dividend policy), and any other potential return
premium component of the policies.

                     and

respective heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these presents. 
  
 WHEREAS, the Principal has entered into a written contract with
                                        
                     dated

 The said Surety agrees that no change, extension of time, alteration, addition, omission, or other modification of the terms of either the said contract
or in the said work to be performed, or in the specifications, or in the plans, shall in anywise affect its obligation on this Bond, and it does hereby waive notice of such changes, extensions of time, alterations, additions, omissions, and other
