 Exhibit B 
 to 
 Agreement Between Owner and Design/Builder 
 On the Basis of a Stipulated Price 
 General Project
Scope: 
 Construct a no less than forty (40) million gallon per year (MGY) dry mill fuel-grade ethanol plant located in or near Plainview, Nebraska.
The plant will grind approximately 14.3 million bushels per year to produce approximately forty (40) MGY of fuel-grade ethanol denatured with five percent gasoline (or a similar product). The plant will also produce not less than 202,000
tons per year of 67% moisture Wet Distillers Grains with Solubles (WDGS), and approximately 115,000 tons per year of raw carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. 
 OWNER to provide DESIGN/BUILDER a level site and which shall have a soil load bearing capacity as specified in the
attached table. 
 Ground grain will be mixed in a slurry tank and routed through a working system consisting of a hydroheater, cook tube, and flash tank.
The mash will continue through liquefaction and associated heat exchangers to fermentation. Simultaneously, propagated yeast will be added to the mash as the fermenter is filling. After batch fermentation is complete, the beer will be pumped to the
beer well and then to the beer column to vaporize the alcohol from the mash. 
 Alcohol streams are dehydrated in the distillation column, the side stripper
and the molecular sieve system. Two hundred proof alcohol is pumped to the tank farm shift tanks and blended with five percent denaturant as the product is being pumped into a final storage tank. 
 Corn mash from the beer stripper is dewatered by decanter type centrifuge. Wet cake from the centrifuge is conveyed to the wetcake pad or drying system. Water in the
thin stillage can be evaporated and recycled by the Bio-Methanation system. 
 Fresh water for the boilers, cooking and other processes will be obtained from
area process wells or city water system that supply the needs of the plant. Boiler water may be conditioned in regenerative softeners will be pumped through a deaerator scrubber and into a deaerator tank. Appropriate boiler chemicals will be added
as preheated water is sent to the boiler. 
 Procurement and construction of any required fire protection will be provided by owner. 
 The design includes a compressed air system consisting of compressors, a receiver tank, pre-filter, coalescing filter and air dryer. 
 The design also incorporates the use of a clean-in-place (CIP) system for cleaning cook, fermentation, distillation, evaporation, centrifuges and other systems. Fifty
percent caustic soda is received by truck and stored in a tank. The CIP system uses tanks for receiving, make-up, CIP return and CIP waste which is fed to the methanator. The CIP system includes a CIP Tank, a 50% Caustic tank, and a Waste CIP tank.
A screen is used to remove the solids. 
 Under normal operating circumstances, the Plant will not have any wastewater discharges that have been in contact
with corn and sorghum mash, cleaning system or contact process water. A bio-methanator manufactured by DESIGN/BUILDER/Phoenix will reduce the organic acids in process water allowing complete reuse within the Plant and is included in the Contract
Price. The Plant will have blowdown discharges from the cooling tower, water softeners, and Reverse 

 
Osmosis system. OWNER is responsible for all permits, purchase and installation of pumps, waterline construction, sanitary sewer construction, necessary to
discharge the blowdown from the cooling tower, water softeners, and Reverse Osmosis system. 
 Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a co-product of the fermentation
process. CO2 is allowed under current Laws and Regulations to be vented to the atmosphere. Installation of a plant or system to capture, clean and compress the CO2 is not included in the Work. OWNER, at its cost, may add a blower, certain associated
equipment and a small amount of piping to move the CO2 from the fermenter to a collection point for sale or further processing. 
 Most of the processes
within the Plant will be computer controlled by a Siemens/Moore APACS distributed control system with graphical user interface and three workstations all located in the plant control room, which is included in the Contract Price. No workstation is
provided for the administrative building or any other location. It is estimated that the system will consist of 200 discrete inputs, 200 discreet outputs, 175 analog inputs and 120 analog outputs. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) will control
certain process equipment. 
  

	*	[Optional: A description of the scope of work relating to the grain handling system is attached to the Agreement as Exhibit B-1 and incorporated herein.] 

The Work provided by DESIGN/BUILDER will meet specifications, criteria, and allowances as provided in the Construction Permit and all other applicable Laws and
Regulations enacted as of the Effective Date.

 LICENSE AGREEMENT 
 THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT (this “License Agreement”) is entered into and made effective as of the 14th day of July, 2006 (“Effective Date”) by and between Husker Ag, LLC a Nebraska limited liability company
(“OWNER”), and ICM, Inc., a Kansas corporation (“ICM”). 
 WHEREAS, OWNER and ICM have entered into that certain
AGREEMENT BETWEEN OWNER AND DESIGN/BUILDER ON THE BASIS OF A STIPULATED PRICE dated 14th July, 2006 (the
“Contract”), under which ICM is to design and construct forty (40) million gallons per year ethanol plant for OWNER to be located in or near Plainview, Nebraska (the “Plant”); 
 WHEREAS, ICM will use proprietary technology and information of ICM in the design and construction of the Plant; and 
 WHEREAS, OWNER desires from ICM, and ICM desires to grant to OWNER, a license to use such proprietary technology and information in connection with
OWNER’s ownership and operation of the Plant, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties, in
consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, agree as follows: 
 1. Upon substantial completion of the Plant by ICM pursuant to the terms of the Contract or, if later, payment by OWNER of all amounts due and owing to
ICM under the Contract, ICM agrees to grant to OWNER a limited license to use the Proprietary Property (hereinafter defined) solely in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance and repair of the Plant, subject to the limitations provided
herein (the “Purpose”). 
 2. The “Proprietary Property” means, without limitation, documents, Operating Procedures
(hereinafter defined), materials and other information that are furnished by ICM to OWNER in connection with the Purpose whether orally, visually, in writing, or by any other means, whether tangible or intangible, directly or indirectly and in
whatever form or medium including, without limitation, the design, arrangement, configuration, and specifications of (i) the combinations of distillation, evaporation, and alcohol dehydration equipment (including, but not limited to, pumps,

 Exhibit G 
 to 
 Agreement Between Owner and Design/Builder 
 On the Basis of a Stipulated Price 
 ICM Training:

 The Contract Price includes a commitment by DESIGN/BUILDER to perform certain training for certain personnel of OWNER at OWNER’s ethanol plant, which
is located in Plainview, Nebraska. 
 Employee training will be coordinated by operational personnel of DESIGN/BUILDER with the support of personnel of OWNER
on location at OWNER’s ethanol plant. Vendor training will also occur in conjunction with this training. The specific schedule, attendees and training detail will be provided as Plant start up date is determined. 
 Such personnel of OWNER will have the opportunity to operate the ethanol plant under the supervision of operators of DESIGN/BUILDER . It is anticipated that personnel
participating in such training will include the plant manager, laboratory manager and shift supervisors who will work at the Plant for a period of 1-3 weeks. DESIGN/BUILDER will not charge any fee to OWNER for this startup training and
DESIGN/BUILDER will provide all training materials. Expenses for OWNER’s employees such as travel, salaries, rooms and meals of the participants will be the responsibility of OWNER. 
 Training Course Outline 
 ICM provides a six week training course for all production employees of the facility.
These six weeks are coordinated as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Classroom training. (first week) Each day of this week begins with a two hour safety topic (i.e. lock-out tag-out, confined space, hazard communication, etc.) to
expose the employees to safety precautions applicable to the process. The remaining time is dedicated to the chemistry and unit operations used for converting grain to ethanol: 

  

	 	•	 	cook (liquefaction of starch to dextrins) 

  

	 	•	 	fermentation (conversion of sugar to ethanol and carbon dioxide) 

  

	 	•	 	distillation/evaporation (separation of ethanol from water and corn solids) 

  

	 	•	 	centrifugation (concentration of corn solids) 

  

	 	•	 	dried distiller’s grain dryer systems. 

  

	 	2.	Employees are sent to an ethanol facility in operation (second week) each day they receive four hours of classroom training covering the same topics as in week one.
They also experience four hours of hands-on learning with the facility’s operators. This exposes them to the duties required of an operator including: sampling, computer operations, key operating parameters, safety concerns and overall plant
operations culture. 

  

	 	3.	Employees are given specific vendor training on topics (third week) including but not limited to: 

  

	 	•	 	enzymes 

  

	 	•	 	yeast 

  

	 	•	 	boiler operations 

  

	 	•	 	water treatment 

  

	 	•	 	centrifuge operation 

  

	 	•	 	pump operation 

	 	•	 	instrumentation 

  

	 	•	 	heat exchangers 

  

	 	•	 	cooling tower 

  

	 	•	 	grain handling 

  

	 	•	 	methanator water treatment. 

  

	 	•	 	rolling stock 

 ICM also provides a Process Hazard Analysis
review with the plant management team and several operators. This is led by an ICM professional engineer. When no presentations are scheduled, employees are assigned the task of labeling tanks, piping and equipment in order to increase their
familiarity with equipment location and piping contents. 
  

	 	4.	Similar as week three. (fourth week) 

  

	 	5.	Employees return to an operating plant. (fifth week) This visit, they are allowed to run the ethanol process while under the plant operator’s supervision.

  

	 	6.	The ICM start up team is on-site to start water trials (sixth week) (this may begin in week five as well). The boiler is started up this week or possibly the week prior under
supervision of the manufacturer and boiler inspector. Water is introduced into the first tank in the process and transferred through the piping system in order to test the following: 

  

	 	•	 	vessel integrity 

  

	 	•	 	welding quality 

  

	 	•	 	valve and instrument performance and tuning 

  

	 	•	 	pump performance 

  

	 	•	 	vacuum leaks in the distillation system 

  

	 	•	 	heat exchanger integrity 

 Steam is introduced into the
cook system and evaporator system to test for leaks and expansion joint performance. The cooling tower is filled and circulated as well. Thus, prior to the introduction of grain to the hammer mills, the entire process is brought up to flow, pressure
and temperature using water and steam. This not only tests the mechanical integrity of the workmanship but also provides the employees with additional experience operating the control system. 
 It is recommended plant employees are on the 24 hour coverage schedule to ensure water trials are completed in a timely manner. 
 In addition, for thirty (30) days after Substantial Completion, Design/Builder will provide up to two (2) ICM representatives on-site technical and operating
support. Design/Builder will also provide off-site support for a period of One Hundred Eighty (180) days after Substantial Completion. All of the foregoing services will be at no additional cost to OWNER.

	 	1.	The first step by OWNER to satisfy a warranty question is to call DESIGN/BUILDER’s project manager (or the delegated alternate) and notify that person of the claim. Provide the
following information: 

  

	 	A.	Item nomenclature 

  

	 	B.	Equipment or part number 

  

	 	C.	Description of failure 

  

	 	D.	Corrective action taken 

  

	 	E.	Location and disposition of failed item 

  

	 	2.	Fill out the electronic form provided by DESIGN/BUILDER and send the form by mail or email to the Project manager or his designate. 

  

	 	3.	Project manager or delegate will respond within one (1) working day to acknowledge the claim and documentation, by phone and follow up with email. 

  

	 	4.	Determination of settlement will be made in forty-five (45) days or less by DESIGN/BUILDER. If conflict arises from the determination between OWNER and DESIGN/BUILDER, such
conflict will be resolved under the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Article 15 of the General Conditions. 

 Warranty Period:

 The warranty period is the twelve (12) month period commencing on the date of Substantial Completion and ending on the date that is 12 months
immediately thereafter. In order for OWNER to make a warranty claim the deficiency must be discovered, and OWNER must notify DESIGN/BUILDER in writing of such deficiency within this warranty period.

to DESIGN/BUILDER, OWNER, other representatives and personnel of OWNER, independent testing laboratories and governmental agencies with jurisdictional interests will have access to the Construction at the Site at reasonable times for their
observation, inspecting and testing. DESIGN/BUILDER shall provide them proper and safe conditions for such access and advise them of DESIGN/BUILDER’s Site safety procedures and programs so that they may comply therewith as applicable.

  

	12.03	Tests and Inspections 

 A. If the Contract Documents
or Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction require any part of the Construction specifically to be inspected, tested or approved, DESIGN/BUILDER shall assume full responsibility for arranging and obtaining such inspections, tests
or approvals, pay all costs in connection therewith, and furnish OWNER the required certificates of inspection or approval. DESIGN/BUILDER shall also be responsible for arranging and obtaining and shall pay all costs in connection with any
inspections, tests or approvals required for OWNER’s acceptance of materials or equipment to be incorporated in the Construction or of materials, mix designs, or equipment submitted for approval prior to DESIGN/BUILDER’s purchase thereof
for incorporation in the Construction. Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted or construed as obligating DESIGN/BUILDER to obtain, furnish or pay the costs of any permit, inspection, test or approval required by the applicable State or the
United States Environmental Protection Agency for the construction or operation of the Project (including, without limitation, any atmospheric emissions compliance reports), all of which shall be the responsibility of OWNER. 
 B. DESIGN/BUILDER shall give OWNER reasonable notice of the planned schedule for all required inspections, tests or approvals if requested in writing by
OWNER. 
 C. If any Construction (or the construction work of others) that is required to be inspected, tested or approved is covered by
DESIGN/BUILDER without written concurrence of OWNER, it must, if requested by OWNER, be uncovered for observation at DESIGN/BUILDER’s expense unless DESIGN/BUILDER has given OWNER timely notice of DESIGN/BUILDER’s intention to cover the
same and OWNER has not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such notice. 
  

	12.04	Uncovering Construction 

 A. If any Construction is
covered contrary to the written request of OWNER, it must, if requested by OWNER, be uncovered for OWNER’s observation and recovered at DESIGN/BUILDER’s expense. 
  

 25 

 B. If OWNER considers it necessary or advisable that covered Construction be observed by OWNER or
inspected or tested by others, DESIGN/BUILDER, at OWNER’s request, shall uncover, expose or otherwise make available for observation, inspection or testing as OWNER may require, that portion of the Construction in question, furnishing all
necessary labor, material and equipment. If it is found that such Construction is defective, DESIGN/BUILDER shall pay all costs caused by or resulting from such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection and testing (including but not
limited to all reasonable fees and charges of engineers and other professionals) and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, may make a claim
therefor as provided in Article 9. If however, such Construction is not found to be defective, DESIGN/BUILDER shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price directly attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection,
testing, replacement and rework; and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount or extent thereof, DESIGN/BUILDER may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 9. 
  

	12.05	OWNER May Stop the Construction 

 A. If the
Construction is defective, or DESIGN/BUILDER fails to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment, or fails to furnish or perform the Construction in such a way that the completed Construction will conform to the
Contract Documents, OWNER may order DESIGN/BUILDER to stop Construction or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however, this right of OWNER to stop Construction will not give rise to any duty on the part of OWNER
to exercise this right for the benefit of DESIGN/BUILDER or any other party. 
  

	12.06	Correction or Removal of Defective Construction 

 A.
Prior to acceptance and final payment under paragraph 13.09, OWNER will have authority to disapprove or reject defective Construction and will have authority to require special inspection or testing of the Construction whether or not the
Construction is fabricated, installed or completed. DESIGN/BUILDER shall promptly, either correct all defective Construction, whether or not fabricated, installed or completed, or, if the Construction has been rejected by OWNER, remove it
from the Site and replace it with non-defective Construction. DESIGN/BUILDER shall bear all costs of such correction or removal (including but not limited to reasonable fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals,
all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs, and all costs of repair or replacement of work of others) made necessary thereby. Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted or construed as requiring DESIGN/BUILDER to correct or
remove and replace defective Construction accepted by OWNER pursuant to paragraph 12.08 below. 
  

	12.07	Correction Period 

 A. If within one (1) year
after the date of Substantial Completion or such longer period of time as may be prescribed by Laws or Regulations or by the terms of any applicable special guarantee required by the Contract Documents or by any specific provision of the Contract
Documents, any Construction is found to be defective, DESIGN/BUILDER shall promptly, without cost to OWNER and in accordance with OWNER’s written instructions, (i) correct such defective Construction, or, if it has been
rejected by OWNER, remove it from the Site and replace it with Construction that is not defective, and (ii) satisfactorily correct or remove and replace any damage to other Construction or the work of others resulting therefrom. If
DESIGN/BUILDER does not promptly comply with the terms of such instructions, or in an emergency where delay 

  

 26 

 
would cause serious risk of loss or damage, OWNER may have the defective Construction corrected or the rejected Construction removed and replaced, and
all costs and damages caused by or resulting from such removal and replacement (including but not limited to all reasonable fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals, all court or arbitration or other dispute
resolution costs, and all costs of repair or replacement of work of others) will be paid by DESIGN/BUILDER subject to the provisions of paragraph 16.06 below. Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted or construed as requiring DESIGN/BUILDER to
correct or remove and replace defective Construction accepted by OWNER pursuant to paragraph 12.08 below. Defective equipment or parts thereof shall be covered by the warranty set forth in Exhibit I attached hereto and not the provisions of
this paragraph 12.07. 
 B. Where defective Construction (and damage to other Construction resulting therefrom) has been corrected,
removed or replaced under this paragraph 12.07, the correction period hereunder with respect to such Construction will be extended for an additional period of one (1) year after such correction or removal and replacement has been satisfactorily
completed. 
  

	12.08    	Acceptance of Defective Construction 

 A. If,
instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Construction, OWNER prefers to accept it, OWNER may do so. If any such acceptance occurs prior to final payment, a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary
revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Construction; and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim therefor as
provided in Article 15, subject to the provisions of paragraph 16.06 below. If the acceptance occurs after final payment, an appropriate amount will be paid by DESIGN/BUILDER to OWNER, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount
thereof, OWNER may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 15, subject to the provisions of paragraph 16.06 below. 
  

	12.09    	Identification of Punch List Items 

 A. OWNER shall
identify in writing to DESIGN/BUILDER, on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after Substantial Completion, any and all Punch List Items to be completed or corrected by DESIGN/BUILDER. DESIGN/BUILDER shall not be required to complete or
correct any Punch List Items identified by OWNER after such thirty (30) day period. 
 ARTICLE 13—PAYMENTS TO
DESIGN/BUILDER AND COMPLETION 
  

	13.01    	Schedule of Values 

 A. The Schedule of Values
established as provided in paragraph 2.03 will serve as the basis for progress payments and the form of Application for Payment will be substantially similar to Exhibit J. 
  

 27 

	13.02    	Application for Progress Payment 

 A. By the tenth
day of each month during the Work DESIGN/BUILDER shall submit to OWNER for review and approval an Application for Payment filled out and signed by DESIGN/BUILDER covering the Work completed as of the date of the Application and accompanied by such
supporting documentation as is required by the Contract Documents. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the Site or at another location agreed to in
writing, the Application for Payment shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice or other documentation warranting that OWNER has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all Liens and evidence that the materials and equipment
are covered by appropriate property insurance and other arrangements to protect OWNER’s interest therein. The amount of retainage with respect to progress payments will be as stipulated in the Agreement. 
 B. With each Application for Payment, DESIGNBUILDER shall submit interim lien waivers for all subcontractors and first tier suppliers with a contract
value in excess of $5,000.00. The interim lien waivers shall be effective through the immediately preceding payment. OWNER may withhold from any progress payment the amount applicable to any lien waivers not received for any preceding Application
for Payment for which payment was made by OWNER. 
  

	13.03	DESIGN/BUILDER’s Warranty of Title 

 A.
DESIGN/BUILDER warrants and guarantees that title to all construction materials and equipment covered by any Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to OWNER no later than the time of payment free and clear of
all Liens. This paragraph 13.03.A does not apply to any documents covered by paragraph 3.04. 
  

	13.04    	Progress Payments 

 A. Progress payments shall be
made by the OWNER to DESIGN/BUILDER according to the following procedure: 
 1. OWNER will, within ten (10) days of receipt of each
Application for Payment, either indicate in writing its acceptance of the Application and state that the Application is being processed for payment, or return the Application to DESIGN/BUILDER indicating in writing its reasons for refusing to accept
the Application and the exact amount(s) in dispute. All undisputed amounts will become due and be paid by OWNER to DESIGN/BUILDER not more than ten (10) days after OWNER’s acceptance or rejection of such Application, as the case may be.

 2. If OWNER should fail to pay DESIGN/BUILDER at the time the payment of any amount becomes due, then DESIGN/BUILDER may, at any time
thereafter, upon serving written notice that DESIGN/BUILDER will stop the Work within seven (7) days after receipt of the notice by OWNER, and after such seven (7) day period, stop the Work until payment of the amount owing has been
received, including interest thereon 
 3. Payments due but unpaid shall bear interest at the rate specified in the Agreement. If OWNER pays
to DESIGN/BUILDER any disputed amount pursuant to paragraph 13.04.A.2 and it is determined pursuant to Article 15 that such amount was not due and payable, then DESIGN/BUILDER shall refund such amount to OWNER with interest thereon at the rate
specified in the Agreement. 
  

 28 

 4. No Progress Payment nor any partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the OWNER shall
constitute an acceptance of any Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents. 
 B. Unless payment of such disputed amount is requested
by DESIGN/BUILDER as provided in paragraph 13.04.A.1., OWNER may refuse to make the whole or any part of any such payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any previous
payment, to the extent that is reasonably necessary to protect OWNER from loss because: 
 1. The Work is defective, or completed Work
has been damaged, requiring correction or replacement; 
 2. The Contract Price has been reduced by Written Amendment or Change Order;

 3. OWNER has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work in accordance with paragraph 12.07.A; 
 4. OWNER has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in paragraphs 14.02.A.1 through A.3 inclusive; 
 5. Claims have been made against OWNER on account of DESIGN/BUILDER’s performance or furnishing of the Work; 
 6. The provisions of paragraph 13.02.B are applicable; or 
 7. Liens have been filed in connection with the Work, except where DESIGN/BUILDER has delivered a specific Bond satisfactory to OWNER to secure the satisfaction and discharge of such Liens. 
  

	13.05    	Substantial Completion 

 A. When DESIGN/BUILDER
considers the Construction ready for its intended use DESIGN/BUILDER shall notify OWNER in writing that the Construction is substantially complete (except for items specifically listed by DESIGN/BUILDER as incomplete). Within a reasonable time
thereafter, OWNER will prepare and deliver to DESIGN/BUILDER a certificate of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the certificate a list of Punch List Items to be completed or corrected before final payment. At the time of delivery of
the certificate of Substantial Completion OWNER will deliver to DESIGN/BUILDER (i) a written determination as to division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and DESIGN/BUILDER with respect to security, operation, safety,
maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance and warranties and guarantees, and (ii) the payment required by section 4.01.B.2. of the Agreement. 
 B. OWNER will have the right to exclude DESIGN/BUILDER from the Site after the date of Substantial Completion, but OWNER will allow DESIGN/BUILDER reasonable access to complete or correct items on the list of Punch List Items to be
completed and the seven-day performance test described in Exhibit A. 
  

 29 

	13.06    	Final Inspection 

 A. Upon written notice from
DESIGN/BUILDER that the entire Construction or an agreed portion thereof is complete, OWNER will make a final inspection with DESIGN/BUILDER and will notify DESIGN/BUILDER in writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals that the
Construction is incomplete or defective. DESIGN/BUILDER shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to complete such Construction or remedy such deficiencies. 
  

	13.07    	Final Application for Payment 

 A. After
DESIGN/BUILDER has completed all such corrections to the satisfaction of OWNER and delivered in accordance with the Contract Documents all interim maintenance and operating instructions and as-built drawings (with final copies of each document to be
delivered within ninety (90) days after final payment), schedules, guarantees, certificates or other evidence of insurance required by paragraph 5.02.B, certificates of inspection, marked-up record documents (as provided in paragraph 6.11) and
other documents, DESIGN/BUILDER may make application for final payment following the procedure for progress payments. The final Application for Payment shall be accompanied (unless previously delivered) by: (i) all documentation called for in
the Contract Documents, including but not limited to the evidence of insurance required by subparagraph 5.02.B.7, and (ii) complete and legally effective releases or waivers of all Liens arising out of or filed in connection with the Work. In
lieu of such releases or waivers of Liens and as approved by OWNER, DESIGN/BUILDER may furnish receipts or releases in full and an affidavit of DESIGN/BUILDER that: (i) the releases and receipts include all labor, services, material and
equipment for which a Lien could be filed, and (ii) all payrolls, material and equipment bills and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which OWNER or the Site might in any way be responsible have been paid or otherwise satisfied. If
any Subcontractor or Supplier fails to furnish such a release or receipt in full, DESIGN/BUILDER may furnish a Bond or other collateral satisfactory to OWNER to indemnify OWNER against any Lien. 
  

	13.08    	Final Payment and Acceptance 

 A. If OWNER is
satisfied that the Work has been completed and DESIGN/BUILDER’s other obligations under the Contract Documents have been fulfilled, OWNER will, within ten (10) days after receipt of the final Application for Payment, give written notice to
DESIGN/BUILDER that the Work is acceptable. Otherwise, OWNER will return the Application to DESIGN/BUILDER, indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to process final payment, in which case DESIGN/BUILDER shall make the necessary corrections
and resubmit the Application. Thirty (30) days after the presentation to OWNER of the acceptable Application and accompanying documentation, in appropriate form and substance and with OWNER’s notice of acceptability, the amount will become
due and will be paid by OWNER to DESIGN/BUILDER. 
 B. If, through no fault of DESIGN/BUILDER, final completion of the Work is significantly
delayed, OWNER shall, upon receipt of DESIGN/BUILDER’s final Application for Payment, and without terminating the Agreement, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. Such payment shall be made
under the terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims. 
  

 30 

	13.09    	Waiver of Claims 

 A. The making and acceptance of
final payment will constitute: 
 1. A waiver of all claims by OWNER against DESIGN/BUILDER, except claims arising from unsettled Liens, from
defective construction, from failure to comply with the Contract Documents or the terms of any special guarantees specified therein, or from DESIGN/BUILDER’s continuing obligations under the Contract Documents; and 
 2. a waiver of all claims by DESIGN/BUILDER against OWNER other than those previously made in writing and still unsettled. 
 ARTICLE 14—SUSPENSION OF WORK AND TERMINATION 
  

	14.01    	Owner May Suspend Work 

 A. At any time and without
cause, OWNER may suspend the Work or any portion thereof for a period of not more than ninety (90) days by notice in writing to DESIGN/BUILDER which will fix the date on which Work will be resumed. DESIGN/BUILDER shall resume the Work on the
date so fixed. DESIGN/BUILDER may be allowed an adjustment in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Times, or both, directly attributable to any such suspension if DESIGN/BUILDER makes a claim therefor as provided in Article 9.

  

	14.02    	OWNER May Terminate for Cause 

 A. The occurrence of
any one or more of the following events justifies termination for cause: 
 1. DESIGN/BUILDER persistently fails to perform the Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to, failure to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment or failure to adhere to the progress schedule established under paragraph 2.03.A as revised from
time to time.) 
 2. DESIGN/BUILDER intentionally or willfully disregards Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction.

 3. DESIGN/BUILDER otherwise breaches or violates in any material way any provisions of the Contract Documents. 
 B. OWNER may, after giving DESIGN/BUILDER written notice of the occurrence of an event in paragraph 14.02.A and twenty (20) days therefrom to remedy
such event (or, if such event is not capable of being remedied within such twenty (20) days, such number of days as is reasonably needed to remedy such event), and to the extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, terminate the services of
DESIGN/BUILDER, exclude DESIGN/BUILDER from the Site and take possession of the Work incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the Site or elsewhere for which OWNER has paid DESIGN/BUILDER and finish the Work as OWNER may deem
expedient. In such case DESIGN/BUILDER shall not be entitled to receive any further payment other than reimbursement for DESIGN/BUILDER’s payments to Subcontractors and Suppliers for labor, services, equipment and materials prior to the date of
termination, but only to the extent not previously paid by OWNER. If all reasonable costs incurred by OWNER to complete the Work (including but not limited to all reasonable fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other
professionals and all court or arbitration or 

  

 31 

 
other dispute resolution costs) exceed the unpaid balance of the Contract Price, DESIGN/BUILDER shall pay the difference to OWNER subject to the provisions
of paragraph 16.06 below. If OWNER Terminates for Cause, the DESIGN/BUILDER shall return the portion of the down payment which has not yet been applied to project costs. When exercising any rights or remedies under this paragraph OWNER shall be
required to obtain a reasonable price for the Work performed. 
 C. Where DESIGN/BUILDER’s services have been so terminated by OWNER,
the termination will not affect any rights or remedies of OWNER against DESIGN/BUILDER then existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any payment to DESIGN/BUILDER by OWNER will not release DESIGN/BUILDER from liability. 
 D. Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted or construed as requiring DESIGN/BUILDER to perform any additional services after such termination
including, without limitation, the creation of any drawings, specifications or any other document necessary to complete the Work. 
  

	14.03    	DESIGN/BUILDER May Stop Work or Terminate 

 A. If,
through no act or fault of DESIGN/BUILDER, the Work is suspended for a period of more than ninety (90) days by OWNER or under an order of court or other public authority, or OWNER fails to pay DESIGN/BUILDER any amount due under the Contract
Documents, then DESIGN/BUILDER may, upon seven (7) days written notice to OWNER, and provided OWNER does not remedy such suspension or failure within that time, terminate the Agreement and recover from OWNER payment of all amounts due and owing
from OWNER to DESIGN/BUILDER under the Contract Documents for Work performed through the date of such termination (including any profit thereon) and all cost and expenses incurred by DESIGN/BUILDER due to such termination (including, without
limitation, any costs incurred to cancel contracts with Subcontractors and the reasonable demobilization costs of DESIGN/BUILDER). In lieu of terminating the Agreement and without prejudice to any other right or remedy, DESIGN/BUILDER may upon seven
(7) days written notice to OWNER stop the Work until payment is made of all amounts due DESIGN/BUILDER, including interest thereon. The provisions of this paragraph 14.03.A are not intended to preclude DESIGN/BUILDER from making claim under
Article 9 for an increase in Contract Price or Contract Times or otherwise for expenses or damage attributable to such suspension or failure. 
 ARTICLE 15—DISPUTE RESOLUTION 
  

	15.01    	Dispute Resolution Agreement 

 A. OWNER and
DESIGN/BUILDER agree that they will first submit any and all unsettled claims, counterclaims, disputes and other matters in question between them arising out of or relating to the Contract Documents or the breach thereof (“disputes”), to
mediation by a mutually agreeable, impartial mediator, or if the parties cannot so agree, a mediator designated by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Construction Industry Mediation Rules, prior to either of them
initiating against the other a demand for arbitration pursuant to paragraph 15.01.B through 15.01.E, unless delay in initiating arbitration would irrevocably prejudice one of the parties. Any time limits within which to file a demand for arbitration
shall be suspended with respect to a dispute submitted to mediation within those same applicable time limits and shall remain suspended until 10 days after the termination of the mediation. The 

  

 32 

 
mediator of any dispute submitted to mediation under this Agreement shall not serve as arbitrator of such dispute unless otherwise agreed. 
 B. All claims, disputes and other matters in question between OWNER and DESIGN/BUILDER arising out of or relating to the Contract Documents or the breach
thereof (except for claims which have been waived by the making or acceptance of final payment as provided by paragraph 13.09) will be decided by binding arbitration in accordance with the Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of the AAA then in
effect, subject to the limitations of this paragraph 15.01. The arbitrator shall have the discretion to award reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party. This agreement so to arbitrate and any other agreement or consent to
arbitrate entered into in accordance herewith as provided in this paragraph 15.01 will be specifically enforceable under the prevailing law of any court having jurisdiction. 
 C. Notice of the demand for arbitration will be filed in writing with the other party to the Agreement and with the designated arbitration entity. The
demand for arbitration will be made within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute or other matter in question has arisen, and in no event shall any such demand be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on
such claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. 
 D. Except as provided in
paragraph 15.01.E below, no arbitration arising out of or relating to the Contract Documents shall include by consolidation, joinder or in any other manner any other individual or` entity who is not a party to this contract unless: 
 1. the inclusion of such other individual or entity is necessary if complete relief is to be afforded among those who are already parties to the
arbitration, and 
 2. such other individual or entity is substantially involved in a question of law or fact which is common to those who are
already parties to the arbitration and which will arise in such proceedings, and 
 3. the written consent of the other individual or entity
sought to be included and of OWNER and DESIGN/BUILDER has been obtained for such inclusion, which consent shall make specific reference to this paragraph; but no such consent shall constitute consent to arbitration of any dispute not specifically
described in such consent or to arbitration with any party not specifically identified in such consent. 
 E. Notwithstanding paragraph
15.01.D, if a claim, dispute or other matter in question between OWNER and DESIGN/BUILDER involves the Work of a Subcontractor, Supplier or Engineer either OWNER or DESIGN/BUILDER may join such entity as a party to the arbitration between OWNER and
DESIGN/BUILDER hereunder. DESIGN/BUILDER shall include in all subcontracts required by paragraph 6.05.D a specific provision whereby the Subcontractor consents to being joined in any arbitration between OWNER and DESIGN/BUILDER involving the Work of
such Subcontractor. Nothing in this paragraph 15.01.E or in the provision of such subcontract consenting to joinder shall create any claim, right or cause of action in favor of Subcontractor, Supplier or Engineer against OWNER. 
 F. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article 15 shall not apply to any claim by DESIGN/BUILDER of any breach or threatened breach of
any provision of the License Agreement attached as Exhibit F. 
  

 33 

 ARTICLE 16—MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	16.01    	Giving Notice 

 A. Whenever any provision of the
Contract Documents requires the giving of written notice, it will be deemed to have been validly given: 
 1. If delivered in person to the
individual or to a member of the firm or to an officer of the corporation for whom it is intended; 
 2. If delivered at or sent by registered

	16.02	Computation of Times 

 A. When any period of time is
referred to in the Contract Documents by days, it will be computed to exclude the first and include the last day of such period. If the last day of any such period falls on a Saturday or Sunday or on a day made a legal holiday by the law of the
applicable jurisdiction, such day will be omitted from the computation. 
 B. A calendar day of twenty-four hours measured from midnight to
the next midnight will constitute a day. 
  

	16.03    	Notice of Claim 

 A. Should OWNER or DESIGN/BUILDER
suffer injury or damage to person or property because of any error, omission or act of the other party or of any of the other party’s employees or agents or others for whose acts the other party is legally liable, claim will be made in writing
to the other party within a reasonable time of the first observance of such injury or damage. The provisions of this paragraph 16.03.A shall not be construed as a substitute for or a waiver of the provisions of any applicable statute of limitations
or repose. 
  

	16.04    	Cumulative Remedies 

 A. Except as provided in
paragraph 16.06, the duties and obligations imposed by these General Conditions and the rights and remedies available hereunder to the parties hereto, and, in particular but without limitation, any general or specific warranties, guarantees and
indemnities imposed upon a party and all of the rights and remedies available to the other party thereunder, are in addition to, and are not to be construed in any way as a limitation of, any rights and remedies available to any or all of them which
are otherwise imposed or available by Laws or Regulations, by special warranty or guarantee or by other provisions of the Contract Documents, and the provisions of this paragraph will be as effective as if repeated specifically in the Contract
Documents in connection with each particular duty, obligation, right and remedy to which they apply. 
  

 34 

	16.05    	Survival of Obligations 

 A. All representations,
indemnifications, warranties and guarantees made in, required by or given in accordance with the Contract Documents, as well as all continuing obligations indicated in the Contract Documents, will survive final payment, completion and acceptance of
the Work and termination or completion of the Agreement. 
  

	16.06    	Limitation on OWNER’s Recovery of Damages and Mutual Waiver of Consequential Damages 

 A. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Contract Documents, OWNER agrees that the aggregate amount OWNER (and anyone claiming by or through OWNER)
may recover collectively from DESIGN/BUILDER and its employee’s and agents, for the Project as a whole under the Contract Documents (including the License Agreement attached as Exhibit F), including, without limitation damages from
DESIGN/BUILDER for OWNER’s correction of defective Construction under paragraph 12.07.A, acceptance of defective Construction under paragraph 12.08, correction of any defective equipment or part thereof under Exhibit I
and/or termination for cause under paragraph 14.02, shall be limited to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00). 
 B. Each party hereby waives
all claims against the other party and the other parties employees and agents for any consequential damages that may arise out of or relate to a breach of the Contract Documents except that such limitation of damages shall not apply to a breach by
OWNER of License Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit F, or the performance of the Work whether arising in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, including but not limited to losses of use, profits, business,
reputation or financing.
