recommended to the Owner by the Contractor; (2) is qualified to perform that portion of the Work; and (3) has submitted a bid that conforms to the requirements of the Contract Documents without reservations or exceptions, but the Owner
requires that another bid be accepted, then the Contractor may require that a Change Order be issued to adjust the Guaranteed Maximum Price by the difference between the bid of the person or entity recommended to the Owner by the Contractor and the
amount of the subcontract or other agreement actually signed with the person or entity designated by the Owner.

 ARTICLE 12 PAYMENTS 
 § 12.1 PROGRESS PAYMENTS 
 § 12.1.1 Based upon

 § 12.1.4 With each Application for Payment, the Contractor shall submit (a) the requisitions of
each of the Subcontractors (to the extent approved or modified by Contractor) for Work completed as of the end of the preceding month less applicable retention; (b) amounts payable for the lump sum Scheduled Values less applicable retention;
and (c) the Contractor’s fee, payrolls, receipted invoices or invoices with check vouchers attached, and any other evidence required by the Owner to demonstrate that cash disbursements already made by the Contractor on account of the Cost
of the Work equal or exceed (1) progress payments already received by the Contractor; less (2) that portion of those payments attributable to the Contractor’s Fee; plus (3) payrolls for the period covered by the present

dividing (a) the expense that has actually been incurred by the Contractor on account of that portion of the Work for which the Contractor has made or
intends to make actual payment prior to the next Application for Payment by (b) the share of the Guaranteed Maximum Price allocated to that portion of the Work in the schedule of values. 
 § 12.1.7 Subject to other provisions of the Contract Documents, the amount of each progress payment shall be computed as follows: 
  

	 	.1	take that portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Price properly allocable to completed Work as determined by multiplying the percentage of completion of each portion of the Work by the
share of the Guaranteed Maximum Price allocated to that portion of the Work in the schedule of values. Pending final determination of cost to the Owner of changes in the Work, amounts not in dispute shall be included as provided in
Section 7.3.8 of AIA Document A201-1997; 

  

	 	.2	add that portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Price properly allocable to materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent incorporation in the Work, or
if approved in advance by the Owner, suitably stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing; 

  

	 	.3	add the Contractor’s Fee, less retainage of Ten Percent (10%) for all scheduled values (except concrete) until the scheduled value is Ninety Percent (90%) complete, at
which time it will be reduced to Five Percent (5%). Retainage on the concrete scheduled value will be held at Five Percent (5%) until sixty (60) days after the tower has reached full height, at which time it will be reduced to Zero Percent
(0%). Upon reaching Substantial Completion, retainage for all scheduled values will be reduced to an amount equal to 150% of the outstanding punchlist until completion. The Contractor’s Fee shall be computed upon the Cost of the Work described
in the two preceding Clauses at the rate stated in Section 5.1.2 or, if the Contractor’s Fee is stated as a fixed sum in that Subparagraph, shall be an amount that bears the same ratio to that fixed-sum fee as the Cost of the Work in the
two preceding Clauses bears to a reasonable estimate of the probable Cost of the Work upon its completion; 

  

	 	.4	subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner; 

  

	 	.5	subtract the shortfall, if any, indicated by the Contractor in the documentation required by Section 12.1.4 to substantiate prior Applications for Payment, or resulting from
errors subsequently discovered by the Owner’s accountants in such documentation; and 

  

	 	.6	subtract amounts, if any, for which the Owner has withheld as provided in Section 9.5 of AIA Document A201-1997. 

 § 12.1.8 Except with the Owner’s prior approval, payments to Subcontractors shall be subject to retainage of not less than Ten Percent (10%). The Owner
and the Contractor shall agree upon a mutually acceptable procedure for review and approval of payments and retention for Subcontractors. 
 §
12.1.9 In taking action on the Contractor’s Applications for Payment, the Owner shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of the information furnished by the Contractor and shall not be deemed to represent that the Owner
has made a detailed examination, audit or arithmetic verification of the documentation submitted in accordance with Section 12.1.4 or other supporting data; that the Owner has made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections or that the Owner
has made examinations to ascertain how or for what purposes the Contractor has used amounts previously paid on account of the Contract. Such examinations, audits and verifications, if required by the Owner, will be performed by the Owner’s
accountants acting in the sole interest of the Owner. 
 §12.2 FINAL PAYMENT 
 § 12.2.1 Final payment, constituting the entire unpaid balance of the Contract Sum, shall be made by the Owner to the Contractor when: 
  

	 	.1	the Contractor has fully performed the Contract except for the Contractor’s responsibility to correct Work as provided in Section 12.2.2 of AIA Document A201-1997, and to
satisfy other requirements, if any, which extend beyond final payment; and

	 	.2	a final Certificate for Payment has been approved by the Owner 

  

	 	.3	All liens, if any, have been fully released. 

 § 12.2.2
The Owner’s final payment to the Contractor shall be made no later than 30 days after the issuance of the Owner’s final Certificate for Payment, or as follows: 
 § 12.2.3 The Owner’s accountants will review and report in writing on the Contractor’s final accounting within 30 days after delivery of the final accounting to the Owner by the Contractor. Based
upon such Cost of the Work as the Owner’s accountants report to be substantiated by the Contractor’s final accounting, and provided the other conditions of Section 12.2.1 have been met, the Owner will, within seven days after receipt
of the written report of the Owner’s accountants, either issue a final Certificate for Payment with a copy to the Contractor, or notify the Contractor and Owner in writing of the Owner’s reasons for withholding a certificate as provided in
Section 9.5.1 of the AIA Document A201-1997. The time periods stated in this Section 12.2.3 supersede those stated in Section 9.4.1 of the AIA Document A201-1997. 
 § 12.2.4 If the Owner’s accountants report the Cost of the Work as substantiated by the Contractor’s final accounting to be less than claimed by the Contractor, the Contractor shall be entitled
to demand arbitration of the disputed amount without a further decision of the Architect. Such demand for arbitration shall be made by the Contractor within 30 days after the Contractor’s receipt of a copy of the Architect’s final
Certificate for Payment; failure to demand arbitration within this 30-day period shall result in the substantiated amount reported by the Owner’s accountants becoming binding on the Contractor. Pending a final resolution by arbitration, the
Owner shall pay the Contractor the amount certified in the Architect’s final Certificate for Payment. 
 § 12.2.5 If, subsequent to final
payment and at the Owner’s request, the Contractor incurs costs described in Article 7 and not excluded by Article 8 to correct defective or nonconforming Work, the Owner shall reimburse the Contractor such costs and the Contractor’s Fee
applicable thereto on the same basis as if such costs had been incurred prior to final payment, but not in excess of the Guaranteed Maximum Price. If the Contractor has participated in savings as provided in Section 5.2, the amount of such
savings shall be recalculated and appropriate credit given to the Owner in determining the net amount to be paid by the Owner to the Contractor. 
 ARTICLE 13 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION 
 § 13.1 The Contract may be terminated by the Contractor, or by the Owner for convenience,
as provided in Article 14 of AIA Document A201-1997. However, the amount to be paid to the Contractor under Section 14.1.3 of AIA Document A201-1997 shall not exceed the amount the Contractor would be entitled to receive under Section 13.2
below, plus the Contractor shall be entitled to a Contractor’s Fee for the cost of the Work not completed in an amount not to exceed $500,000 so long as the Contractor’s Fee does not exceed the amount otherwise payable to the Contractor
under the Contract had the work been completed. 
 § 13.2 The Contract may be terminated by the Owner for cause as provided in Article 14 of AIA
Document A201-1997. The amount, if any, to be paid to the Contractor under Section 14.2.4 of AIA Document A201-1997 shall not cause the Guaranteed Maximum Price to be exceeded, nor shall it exceed an amount calculated as follows: 
 § 13.2.1 Take the Cost of the Work incurred by the Contractor to the date of termination; 
 § 13.2.2 Add the Contractor’s Fee computed upon the Cost of the Work to the date of termination at the rate stated in Section 5.1.2 or, if the Contractor’s Fee is stated as a fixed sum in
that Section, an amount that bears the same ratio to that fixed-sum Fee as the Cost of the Work at the time of termination bears to a reasonable estimate of the probable Cost of the Work upon its completion; and 
 § 13.2.3 Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner. 
 § 13.3 To the extent that the Owner elects to take legal assignment of subcontracts and purchase orders (including rental agreements), the Contractor shall, as a condition of receiving the payments referred to in this Article

 ARTICLE 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 § 1.1 BASIC DEFINITIONS 
 § 1.1.1 THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS 
 The Contract Documents consist of the Agreement between Owner and Contractor (hereinafter the Agreement), Conditions of the Contract (General, Supplementary and other Conditions), Drawings, Specifications, Addenda
issued prior to execution of the Contract, other documents listed in the Agreement and Modifications issued after execution of the Contract. A Modification is (1) a written amendment to the Contract signed by both parties, (2) a Change
Order, (3) a Construction Change Directive or (4) a written order for a minor change in the Work issued by the Architect. Unless specifically enumerated in the Agreement, the Contract Documents do not include other documents such as
bidding requirements (advertisement or invitation to bid, Instructions to Bidders, sample forms, the Contractor’s bid or portions of Addenda relating to bidding requirements). 
 § 1.1.2 THE CONTRACT 
 The Contract Documents form the Contract for Construction. The Contract represents the
entire and integrated agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes prior negotiations, representations or agreements, either written or oral. The Contract may be amended or modified only by a Modification. The Contract Documents shall not be
construed to create a contractual relationship of any kind (1) between the Architect and Contractor, (2) between the Owner and a Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor, (3) between the Owner and Architect or (4) between any persons
or entities other than the Owner and Contractor. 
 § 1.1.3 THE WORK 
 The term “Work” means the construction and services required by the Contract Documents, whether completed or partially completed, and includes all other labor, materials, equipment and services provided or
to be provided by the Contractor to fulfill the Contractor’s obligations. The Work may constitute the whole or a part of the Project. 
 § 1.1.4
THE PROJECT 
 The Project is the total construction of which the Work performed under the Contract Documents may be the whole or a part and which may
include construction by the Owner or by separate contractors. 
 § 1.1.5 THE DRAWINGS 
 The Drawings are the graphic and pictorial portions of the Contract Documents showing the design, location and dimensions of the Work, generally including plans,
elevations, sections, details, schedules and diagrams. 
 § 1.1.6 THE SPECIFICATIONS 
 The Specifications are that portion of the Contract Documents consisting of the written requirements for materials, equipment, systems, standards and workmanship for the
Work, and performance of related services. 
 § 1.1.7 THE PROJECT MANUAL 
 The Project Manual is a volume assembled for the Work which may include the bidding requirements, sample forms, Conditions of the Contract and Specifications. 
 § 1.2 CORRELATION AND INTENT OF THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS 
 § 1.2.1 The intent of the Contract Documents is to include all items necessary for the proper execution and completion of the Work by the Contractor. The Contract Documents are complementary, and what is required by one
shall be as binding as if required by all; performance by the Contractor shall be required only to the extent consistent with the Contract Documents and reasonably inferable from them as being necessary to produce the indicated results. 

§ 1.2.2 Organization of the Specifications into divisions, sections and articles, and arrangement of Drawings shall not control the Contractor in dividing
the Work among Subcontractors or in establishing the extent of Work to be performed by any trade. 
 § 1.2.3 Unless otherwise stated in the
Contract Documents, words which have well-known technical or construction industry meanings are used in the Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized meanings.

 § 1.3 CAPITALIZATION 
 § 1.3.1 Terms capitalized in these General Conditions include those which are (1) specifically defined, (2) the titles of numbered articles or (3) the titles of other documents published by the American Institute
of Architects. 
 § 1.4 INTERPRETATION 
 §
1.4.1 In the interest of brevity the Contract Documents frequently omit modifying words such as “all” and “any” and articles such as “the” and “an,” but the fact that a modifier or an article is absent
from one statement and appears in another is not intended to affect the interpretation of either statement. 
 § 1.5 EXECUTION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

 § 1.5.1 The Contract Documents shall be signed by the Owner and Contractor. 
 § 1.5.2 Execution of the Contract by the Contractor is a representation that the Contractor has visited the site, become generally familiar with local conditions under which the Work is to be performed and
correlated personal observations with requirements of the Contract Documents. 
 § 1.6 OWNERSHIP AND USE OF DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATIONS AND OTHER
INSTRUMENTS OF SERVICE 
 § 1.6.1 The Drawings, Specifications and other documents,
including those in electronic form, prepared by the Architect and the Architect’s consultants are Instruments of Service through which the Work to be executed by the Contractor is described. The Contractor may retain one record set. Neither the
Contractor nor any Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor or material or equipment supplier shall own or claim a copyright in the Drawings, Specifications and other documents prepared by the Architect or the Architect’s consultants, and unless
otherwise indicated the Architect and the Architect’s consultants shall be deemed the authors of them and the Owner will retain all common law,
statutory and other reserved rights, in addition to the copyrights. All copies of Instruments of Service, except the Contractor’s record set, shall be returned or suitably accounted for to the Owner, on request, upon completion of the Work. The
Drawings, Specifications and other documents prepared by the Architect and the Architect’s consultants, and copies thereof furnished to the Contractor, are for use solely with respect to this Project. They are not to be used by the Contractor
or any Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor or material or equipment supplier on other projects or for additions to this Project outside the scope of the Work without the specific written consent of the Owner, Architect and the Architect’s
consultants. The Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors and material or equipment suppliers are authorized to use and reproduce applicable portions of the Drawings, Specifications and other documents prepared by the Architect and the
Architect’s consultants appropriate to and for use in the execution of their Work under the Contract Documents. All copies made under this authorization shall bear the statutory copyright notice, if any, shown on the Drawings, Specifications
and other documents prepared by the Architect and the Architect’s consultants. Submittal or distribution to meet official regulatory requirements or for other purposes in connection with this Project is not to be construed as publication in
derogation of the Owner’s, the Architect’s or Architect’s consultants’ copyrights or other reserved rights. 
 ARTICLE 2 OWNER 

 § 2.1 GENERAL 
 § 2.1.1 The Owner is
the person or entity identified as such in the Agreement and is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular in number. The Owner shall designate in writing a representative who shall have express authority to bind the Owner with
respect to all matters requiring the Owner’s approval or authorization. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.2.1, the Architect does not have such authority. The term “Owner” means the Owner or the Owner’s authorized
representative. 
 § 2.1.2 The Owner shall furnish to the Contractor within fifteen days after receipt of a written request, information
necessary and relevant for the Contractor to evaluate, give notice of or enforce mechanic’s lien rights. Such information shall include a correct statement of the record legal title to the property on which the Project is located, usually
referred to as the site, and the Owner’s interest therein. 
 § 2.2 INFORMATION AND SERVICES REQUIRED OF THE OWNER 
 § 2.2.1 The Owner shall, at the written request of the Contractor, prior to commencement of the Work and thereafter, furnish to the Contractor reasonable
evidence that financial arrangements have been made to fulfill the Owner’s obligations under the Contract. Furnishing of such evidence shall be a condition precedent to commencement or continuation of the Work. After such evidence has been
furnished, the Owner shall not materially vary such financial arrangements without prior notice to the Contractor.

 § 2.2.2 Except for permits and fees, including those required under Section 3.7.1, which are the
responsibility of the Contractor under the Contract Documents, the Owner shall secure and pay for necessary approvals, easements, assessments and charges required for construction, use or occupancy of permanent structures or for permanent changes in
existing facilities. 
 § 2.2.3 The Owner shall furnish surveys describing physical characteristics, legal limitations and utility locations for
the site of the Project, and a legal description of the site. The Contractor shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy of information furnished by the Owner but shall exercise proper precautions relating to the safe performance of the Work.

 § 2.2.4 Information or services required of the Owner by the Contract Documents shall be furnished by the Owner with reasonable promptness.
Any other information or services relevant to the Contractor’s performance of the Work under the Owner’s control shall be furnished by the Owner after receipt from the Contractor of a written request for such information or services.

 § 2.2.5 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor will be furnished, free of charge, such copies of Drawings and
Project Manuals as are reasonably necessary for execution of the Work. 
 § 2.3 OWNER’S RIGHT TO STOP THE WORK 
 § 2.3.1 If the Contractor fails to correct Work which is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents as required by Section 12.2 or
persistently fails to carry out Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Owner may issue a written order to the Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however, the right of
the Owner to stop the Work shall not give rise to a duty on the part of the Owner to exercise this right for the benefit of the Contractor or any other person or entity, except to the extent required by Section 6.1.3. 
 § 2.4 OWNER’S RIGHT TO CARRY OUT THE WORK 
 §
2.4.1 If the Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents and fails within a five-day period after receipt of written notice from the Owner to commence and continue correction of such default or
neglect with diligence and promptness, the Owner may after such seven-day period give the Contractor a second written notice to correct such deficiencies within a two-day period. If the Contractor within such three-day period after receipt of such
second notice fails to commence and continue to correct any deficiencies, the Owner may, without prejudice to other remedies the Owner may have, correct such deficiencies. In such case an appropriate Change Order shall be issued deducting from
payments then or thereafter due the Contractor the reasonable cost of correcting such deficiencies, including Owner’s expenses and compensation for the Architect’s additional services made necessary by such default, neglect or failure.
Such action by the Owner and amounts charged to the Contractor are both subject to prior approval of the Owner. If payments then or thereafter due the Contractor are not sufficient to cover such amounts, the Contractor shall pay the difference to
the Owner. 
 ARTICLE 3 CONTRACTOR 
 § 3.1 GENERAL

 § 3.1.1 The Contractor is the person or entity identified as such in the Agreement and is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as
if singular in number. The term “Contractor” means the Contractor or the Contractor’s authorized representative. 
 § 3.1.2 The
Contractor shall perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. 
 § 3.1.3 The Contractor shall not be relieved of obligations to
perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents either by activities or duties of the Architect in the Architect’s administration of the Contract, or by tests, inspections or approvals required or performed by persons other than the
Contractor. 
 § 3.2 REVIEW OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND FIELD CONDITIONS BY CONTRACTOR 
 § 3.2.1 Since the Contract Documents are complementary, before starting each portion of the Work, the Contractor shall carefully study and compare the various
Drawings and other Contract Documents relative to that portion of the Work, as well as the information furnished by the Owner pursuant to Section 2.2.3, shall take field measurements of any existing conditions related to that portion of the
Work and shall observe any conditions at the site affecting it.

 These obligations are for the purpose of facilitating construction by the Contractor and are not for the purpose of
discovering errors, omissions, or inconsistencies in the Contract Documents; however, any errors, inconsistencies or omissions discovered by the Contractor shall be reported promptly to the Architect as a request for information in such form as the
Architect may require. 
 § 3.2.2 Any design errors or omissions noted by the Contractor during this review shall be reported promptly to the
Architect and Owner, but it is recognized that the Contractor’s review is made in the Contractor’s capacity as a contractor and not as a licensed design professional unless otherwise specifically provided in the Contract Documents. The
Contractor is not required to ascertain that the Contract Documents are in accordance with applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, and rules and regulations, but any nonconformity discovered by or made known to the Contractor shall be
reported promptly to the Architect and Owner. 
 § 3.2.3 If the Contractor believes that additional cost or time is involved because of
clarifications or instructions issued by the Architect in response to the Contractor’s notices or requests for information pursuant to Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2, the Contractor shall make Claims as provided in Sections 4.3.6 and 4.3.7. If the
Contractor fails to perform the obligations of Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2, the Contractor shall pay such costs and damages to the Owner as would have been avoided if the Contractor had performed such obligations. The Contractor shall not be liable to
the Owner or Architect for damages resulting from errors, inconsistencies or omissions in the Contract Documents or for differences between field measurements or conditions and the Contract Documents unless the Contractor recognized such error,
inconsistency, omission or difference and knowingly failed to report it to the Architect or Owner. 
 § 3.3 SUPERVISION AND CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES

 § 3.3.1 The Contractor shall supervise and direct the Work, using the Contractor’s best skill and attention. The Contractor shall be
solely responsible for and have control over construction means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures and for coordinating all portions of the Work under the Contract, unless the Contract Documents give other specific instructions
concerning these matters. If the Contract Documents give specific instructions concerning construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, the Contractor shall evaluate the jobsite safety thereof and, except as stated below, shall
be fully and solely responsible for the jobsite safety of such means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. If the Contractor determines that such means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures may not be safe, the Contractor shall give
timely written notice to the Owner and Architect and shall not proceed with that portion of the Work without further written instructions from the Owner. If the Contractor is then instructed to proceed with the required means, methods, techniques,
sequences or procedures without acceptance of changes proposed by the Contractor, the Owner shall be solely responsible for any resulting loss or damage as approved by express written consent of Owner. 
 § 3.3.2 The Contractor shall be responsible to the Owner for acts and omissions of the Contractor’s employees, Subcontractors and their agents and
employees, and other persons or entities performing portions of the Work for or on behalf of the Contractor or any of its Subcontractors. 
 §
3.3.3 The Contractor shall be responsible for inspection of all portions of Work under the contract already performed to determine that such portions are in proper condition to receive subsequent Work. 
 § 3.4 LABOR AND MATERIALS 
 § 3.4.1 Unless otherwise
provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall provide and pay for labor, materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery, water, heat, utilities, transportation, and other facilities and services necessary for proper
execution and completion of the Work, whether temporary or permanent and whether or not incorporated or to be incorporated in the Work. 
 §
3.4.2 The Contractor may make substitutions only with the consent of the Owner, after evaluation by the Architect if required by Owner and in accordance with a Change Order. 
 § 3.4.3 The Contractor shall enforce strict discipline and good order among the Contractor’s employees and other persons carrying out the Contract. The Contractor shall not permit employment of unfit
persons or persons not skilled in tasks assigned to them. Moreover, Owner has the right to disapprove any person that Owner deems unfit from working at the jobsite.

 § 3.5 WARRANTY 
 § 3.5.1 The Contractor warrants to the Owner and Architect that materials and equipment furnished under the Contract will be of good quality and new unless otherwise required or permitted by the Contract Documents, that the
Work, including all Work by Contractor and its subcontractors and sub-subcontractors, and all agents or employees will be of good quality and will be free from defects not inherent in the quality required or permitted, and that the Work will conform
to the requirements of the Contract Documents. Work not conforming to these requirements, including substitutions not properly approved and authorized, may be considered defective. The Contractor’s warranty excludes remedy for damage or defect
caused by abuse, modifications not executed by the Contractor (its subcontractors, agents, or employees), improper or insufficient maintenance, improper operation, or normal wear and tear and normal usage of Owner. If required by the Architect, the
Contractor shall furnish satisfactory evidence as to the kind and quality of materials and equipment. 
 § 3.6 TAXES 
 § 3.6.1 The Contractor shall pay sales, consumer, use and similar taxes for the Work provided by the Contractor which are legally enacted when bids are
received or negotiations concluded, whether or not yet effective or merely scheduled to go into effect. 
 § 3.7 PERMITS, FEES AND NOTICES

 § 3.7.1 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall secure and pay for the building permit and other permits
and governmental fees, licenses and inspections necessary for proper execution and completion of the Work which are customarily secured after execution of the Contract and which are legally required when bids are received or negotiations concluded.

 § 3.7.2 The Contractor shall comply with and give notices required by laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and lawful orders of public
authorities applicable to performance of the Work. 
 § 3.7.3 It is not the Contractor’s responsibility to ascertain that the Contract
Documents are in accordance with applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, and rules and regulations. However, if the Contractor observes that portions of the Contract Documents are at variance therewith, the Contractor shall promptly
notify the Architect and Owner in writing, and necessary changes shall be accomplished by appropriate Modification. 
 § 3.7.4 If the Contractor
performs Work knowing it to be contrary to laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, and rules and regulations without such notice to the Architect and Owner, the Contractor shall assume appropriate responsibility for such Work and shall bear the
costs attributable to correction. 
 § 3.8 ALLOWANCES 
 § 3.8.1 The Contractor shall include in the Contract Sum all allowances stated in the Contract Documents. Items covered by allowances shall be supplied for such amounts and by such persons or entities as the Owner may direct,
but the Contractor shall not be required to employ persons or entities to whom the Contractor has reasonable objection. 
 § 3.8.2 Unless
otherwise provided in the Contract Documents: 
  

	 	.1	allowances shall cover the cost to the Contractor of materials and equipment delivered at the site and all required taxes, less applicable trade discounts;

  

	 	.2	Contractor’s costs for unloading and handling at the site, labor, installation costs, overhead, profit and other expenses contemplated for stated allowance amounts shall
be included in the Contract Sum but not in the allowances; 

  

	 	.3	whenever costs are more than or less than allowances, the Contract Sum shall be adjusted accordingly by Change Order. The amount of the Change Order shall reflect

 § 3.9 SUPERINTENDENT 
 § 3.9.1 The Contractor shall employ a competent superintendent and necessary assistants who shall be in attendance at the Project site during performance of the Work. The superintendent shall represent the Contractor, and
communications given to the superintendent shall be as binding as if given to the Contractor. Important communications shall be confirmed in writing. Other communications shall be similarly confirmed on written request in each case. 
 § 3.10 CONTRACTOR’S CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES 
 §
3.10.1 The Contractor, promptly after being awarded the Contract, shall prepare and submit for the Owner’s and Architect’s information a Contractor’s construction schedule for the Work. The schedule shall not exceed time limits
current under the Contract Documents, shall be revised at appropriate intervals as required by the conditions of the Work and Project, shall be related to the entire Project to the extent required by the Contract Documents, and shall provide for
expeditious and practicable execution of the Work. 
 § 3.10.2 The Contractor shall prepare and keep current, for the Owner’s approval, a
schedule of submittals which is coordinated with the Contractor’s construction schedule and allows the Owner reasonable time to review submittals. 
 § 3.10.3 The Contractor shall perform the Work in general accordance with the most recent schedules submitted to the Owner and Architect. 
 § 3.11 DOCUMENTS AND SAMPLES AT THE SITE 
 § 3.11.1 The Contractor shall maintain at the site for the Owner one record copy
of the Drawings, Specifications, Addenda, Change Orders and other Modifications, in good order and marked currently to record field changes and selections made during construction, and one record copy of approved Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples
and similar required submittals. These shall be available to the Architect and Owner and shall be delivered to the Architect and Owner upon completion of the Work. 
 § 3.12 SHOP DRAWINGS, PRODUCT DATA AND SAMPLES 
 § 3.12.1 Shop Drawings are drawings, diagrams, schedules and other data
specially prepared for the Work by the Contractor or a Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor, manufacturer, supplier or distributor to illustrate some portion of the Work. 
 § 3.12.2 Product Data are illustrations, standard schedules, performance charts, instructions, brochures, diagrams and other information furnished by the Contractor to illustrate materials or equipment for
some portion of the Work. 
 § 3.12.3 Samples are physical examples which illustrate materials, equipment or workmanship and establish standards
by which the Work will be judged. 
 § 3.12.4 Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar submittals are not Contract Documents. The purpose
of their submittal is to demonstrate for those portions of the Work for which submittals are required by the Contract Documents the way by which the Contractor proposes to conform to the information given and the design concept expressed in the
Contract Documents. Review by the Architect is subject to the limitations of Section 4.2.7. Informational submittals upon which the Architect is not expected to take responsive action may be so identified in the Contract Documents. Submittals
which are not required by the Contract Documents may be returned by the Architect without action. 
 § 3.12.5 The Contractor shall review for
compliance with the Contract Documents, approve and submit to the Owner and Architect, Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar submittals required by the Contract Documents with reasonable promptness and in such sequence as to cause no
delay in the Work or in the activities of the Owner or of separate contractors. Submittals which are not marked as reviewed for compliance with the Contract Documents and approved by the Contractor may be returned by the Owner without action.

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

 § 3.12.7 The Contractor shall perform no portion of the Work for which the Contract Documents require
submittal and review of Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals until the respective submittal has been approved by the Architect. 
 § 3.12.8 The Work shall be in accordance with approved submittals except that the Contractor shall not be relieved of responsibility for deviations from requirements of the Contract Documents by the Owner’s or
Architect’s approval of Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals unless the Contractor has specifically informed the Architect and Owner in writing of such deviation at the time of submittal and (1) the Architect and
Owner have given written approval to the specific deviation as a minor change in the Work, or (2) a Change Order or Construction Change Directive has been issued authorizing the deviation. The Contractor shall not be relieved of responsibility
for errors or omissions in Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals by the Architect’s and Owner’s approval thereof. Contractor shall be responsible to correct any defective work or unapproved deviations from the Contract
Documents as a result of Contractor’s error or negligence. 
 § 3.12.9 The Contractor shall direct specific attention, in writing or on
resubmitted Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals, to revisions other than those requested by the Architect or Owner on previous submittals. In the absence of such written notice, the Owner’s approval of a resubmission
shall not apply to such revisions. 
 § 3.12.10 The Contractor shall not be required to provide professional services which constitute the
practice of architecture or engineering unless such services are specifically required by the Contract Documents for a portion of the Work or unless the Contractor needs to provide such services in order to carry out the Contractor’s
responsibilities for construction means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures. The Contractor shall not be required to provide professional services in violation of applicable law. If professional design services or certifications by a
design professional related to systems, materials or equipment are specifically required of the Contractor by the Contract Documents, the Owner and the Architect will specify all performance and design criteria that such services must satisfy. The
Contractor shall cause such services or certifications to be provided by a properly licensed design professional, whose signature and seal shall appear on all drawings, calculations, specifications, certifications, Shop Drawings and other submittals
prepared by such professional. Shop Drawings and other submittals related to the Work designed or certified by such professional, if prepared by others, shall bear such professional’s written approval when submitted to the Architect and Owner.
The Owner and the Architect shall be entitled to rely upon the adequacy, accuracy and completeness of the services, certifications or approvals performed by such design professionals, provided the Owner and Architect have specified to the Contractor
all performance and design criteria that such services must satisfy. Pursuant to this Section 3.12.10, the Owner will review, approve or take other appropriate action on submittals only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with
information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall not be responsible for the adequacy of the performance or design criteria required by the Contract Documents. If Contractor knows, believes, or has
reason to know that performance or design criteria is wrong, Contractor shall promptly notify Owner and Architect in writing. 
 § 3.13 USE OF SITE

 § 3.13.1 The Contractor shall confine operations at the site to areas permitted by law, ordinances, permits and the Contract Documents and
shall not unreasonably encumber the site with materials or equipment. 
 § 3.14 CUTTING AND PATCHING 
 § 3.14.1 The Contractor shall be responsible for cutting, fitting or patching required to complete the Work or to make its parts fit together properly.

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

 § 3.15 CLEANING UP 
 § 3.15.1 The Contractor shall keep the premises and surrounding area free from accumulation of waste materials or rubbish caused by operations under the Contract on a daily basis. At completion of the Work, the Contractor shall
remove from and about the Project waste materials, rubbish, the Contractor’s tools, construction equipment, machinery, surplus materials, project trailer, trash containers, porta-potties, etc. 
 § 3.15.2 If the Contractor fails to clean up as provided in the Contract Documents, the Owner may do so and the cost thereof shall be charged to the
Contractor.

infringement of copyrights and patent rights and shall hold the Owner and Architect harmless from loss on account thereof, but shall not be responsible for such defense or loss when a particular design, process or product of a particular
manufacturer or manufacturers is required by the Contract Documents or where the copyright violations are contained in Drawings, Specifications or other documents prepared by the Owner or Architect. However, if the Contractor has reason to believe
that the required design, process or product is an infringement of a copyright or a patent, the Contractor shall be responsible for such loss unless such information is promptly furnished to the Architect. 
 § 3.18 INDEMNIFICATION 
 § 3.18.1 To the fullest
extent permitted by law and to the extent claims, damages, losses or expenses are not covered by the insurance coverage (including insufficient amounts to cover claims) required by Article 11, the Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Owner, Architect, Architect’s consultants, and agents and employees of any of them from and against claims, damages, losses and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, arising out of or resulting from performance of the
Work, provided that such claim, damage, loss or expense is attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death, or to injury to or destruction of tangible property (other than the Work itself), but only to the extent caused by the negligent
acts or omissions of the Contractor, a Subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them or anyone for whose acts they may be liable, regardless of whether or not such claim, damage, loss or expense is caused in part by a party
indemnified hereunder. Such obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other rights or obligations of indemnity which would otherwise exist as to a party or person described in this Section 3.18. 
 § 3.18.2 In claims against any person or entity indemnified under this Section 3.18 by an employee of the Contractor, a Subcontractor, anyone directly
or indirectly employed by them or anyone for whose acts they may be liable, the indemnification obligation under Section 3.18.1 shall not be limited by a limitation on amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for the
Contractor or a Subcontractor under workers’ compensation acts, disability benefit acts or other employee benefit acts.

 § 4.2.2 The Architect, as a representative of the Owner, will visit the site at intervals appropriate to the
stage of the Contractor’s operations (1) to become generally familiar with and to keep the Owner informed about the progress and quality of the portion of the Work completed, (2) to endeavor to guard the Owner against defects and
deficiencies in the Work, and (3) to determine in general if the Work is being performed in a manner indicating that the Work, when fully completed, will be in accordance with the Contract Documents. However, the Architect will not be required
to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work. The Architect will neither have control over or charge of, nor be responsible for, the construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or
procedures, or for the safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work, since these are solely the Contractor’s rights and responsibilities under the Contract Documents, except as provided in Section 3.3.1. 
 § 4.2.3 The Architect will not be responsible for the Contractor’s failure to perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract
Documents. The Architect will not have control over or charge of and will not be responsible for acts or omissions of the Contractor, Subcontractors, or their agents or employees, or any other persons or entities performing portions of the Work.

 § 4.2.4 Communications Facilitating Contract Administration. Except as otherwise provided in the Contract Documents or when direct
communications have been specially authorized, communications by and with the Architect’s consultants shall be through the Architect. Communications by and with Subcontractors and material suppliers shall be through the Contractor.
Communications by and with separate contractors shall be through the Owner. 
 § 4.2.5 Based on the Architect’s evaluations of the
Contractor’s Applications for Payment, the Owner will review and certify the amounts due the Contractor and will issue Certificates for Payment in such amounts. 
 § 4.2.6 The Architect will have authority to reject Work that does not conform to the Contract Documents. Whenever the Architect considers it necessary or advisable, the Architect will have authority to
require inspection or testing of the Work in accordance with Sections 13.5.2 and 13.5.3, whether or not such Work is fabricated, installed or completed. However, neither this authority of the Architect nor a decision made in good faith either to
exercise or not to exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of the Architect to the Contractor, Subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers, their agents or employees, or other persons or entities performing portions
of the Work. 
 § 4.2.7 The Architect will review and approve or take other appropriate action upon the Contractor’s submittals such as Shop
Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. The Architect’s action will be taken with such reasonable
promptness as to cause no delay in the Work or in the activities of the Owner, Contractor or separate contractors, while allowing sufficient time in the Architect’s professional judgment to permit adequate review. Review of such submittals is
not conducted for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other details such as dimensions and quantities, or for substantiating instructions for installation or performance of equipment or systems, all of which remain the
responsibility of the Contractor as required by the Contract Documents. The Architect’s review of the Contractor’s submittals shall not relieve the Contractor of the obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.5 and 3.12. The Architect’s review
shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or, unless otherwise specifically stated by the Architect, of any construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The Architect’s approval of a specific item shall not
indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component. 
 § 4.2.8 The Architect may prepare Change Orders and Construction Change
Directives, and may authorize minor changes in the Work as provided in Section 7.4, as long as Owner signed off and approved same in writing. 
 § 4.2.9 The Architect or Owner will conduct inspections to determine the date or dates of Substantial Completion and the date of final completion, will receive and forward to the Owner, for the Owner’s review and records,
written warranties and related documents required by the Contract and assembled by the Contractor, and will issue a final Certificate for Payment upon compliance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

 § 4.2.10 If the Owner and Architect agree, the Architect will provide one or more project representatives to
assist in carrying out the Architect’s responsibilities at the site. The duties, responsibilities and limitations of authority of such project representatives shall be as set forth in an exhibit to be incorporated in the Contract Documents.

 § 4.2.11 The Architect will interpret and decide matters concerning performance under and requirements of, the Contract Documents on written
request of either the Owner or Contractor. The Architect’s response to such requests will be made in writing within any time limits agreed upon or otherwise with reasonable promptness. If no agreement is made concerning the time within which
interpretations required of the Architect shall be furnished in compliance with this Section 4.2, then delay shall not be recognized on account of failure by the Architect to furnish such interpretations until five (5) days after written
request is made for them. 
 § 4.2.12 Interpretations and decisions of the Architect will be consistent with the intent of and reasonably
inferable from the Contract Documents and will be in writing or in the form of drawings. When making such interpretations and initial decisions, the Architect will endeavor to secure faithful performance by both Owner and Contractor, will not show
partiality to either and will not be liable for results of interpretations or decisions so rendered in good faith. 
 § 4.2.13 The
Architect’s decisions on matters relating to aesthetic effect will be final if consistent with the intent expressed in the Contract Documents. 
 § 4.3 CLAIMS AND DISPUTES 
 § 4.3.1 Definition. A Claim is a demand or assertion by one of the parties seeking, as a matter
of right, adjustment or interpretation of Contract terms, payment of money, and extension of time or other relief with respect to the terms of the Contract. The term “Claim” also includes other disputes and matters in question between the
Owner and Contractor arising out of or relating to the Contract. Claims must be initiated by written notice. The responsibility to substantiate Claims shall rest with the party making the Claim. 
 § 4.3.2 Time Limits on Claims. Claims by either party must be initiated within 21 days after occurrence of the event giving rise to such Claim or within 21
days after the claimant first recognizes the condition giving rise to the Claim, whichever is later. Claims must be initiated by written notice to the Architect and the other party. 
 § 4.3.3 Continuing Contract Performance. Pending final resolution of a Claim except as otherwise agreed in writing or as provided in Section 9.7.1 and Article 14, the Contractor shall proceed
diligently with performance of the Contract and but for the claim, the Owner shall continue to make payments in accordance with the Contract Documents. 
 § 4.3.4 Claims for Concealed or Unknown Conditions. If conditions are encountered at the site which are (1) subsurface or otherwise concealed physical conditions which differ materially from those indicated in the Contract
Documents or (2) unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, which differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally recognized as inherent in construction activities of the character provided for in the Contract
Documents, then notice by the observing party shall be given to the other party promptly before conditions are disturbed and in no event later than 21 days after first observance of the conditions. The Architect will promptly investigate such
conditions and, if they differ materially and cause an increase or decrease in the Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, will recommend an equitable adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, or
both. If the Architect determines that the conditions at the site are not materially different from those indicated in the Contract Documents and that no change in the terms of the Contract is justified, the Architect shall so notify the Owner and
Contractor in writing, stating the reasons. Claims by either party in opposition to such determination must be made within 21 days after the Architect has given notice of the decision. If the conditions encountered are materially different, the
Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be equitably adjusted, but if the Owner and Contractor cannot agree on an adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, the adjustment shall be referred to the Architect for initial determination, subject to
further proceedings pursuant to Section. 4.4. 
 § 4.3.5 Claims for Additional Cost. If the Contractor wishes to make Claim for an increase in
the Contract Sum, written notice as provided herein shall be given before proceeding to execute the Work. No claim may be made for an increase in the Contract Sum without prior written approval from the Owner. Prior notice is not required for Claims
relating to an emergency endangering life or property arising under Section 10.6. Nevertheless, as soon as possible after the claim is incurred, Contractor must notify Owner in writing of the additional cost.

 § 4.3.6 If the Contractor believes additional cost is involved for reasons including but not limited to
(1) a written interpretation from the Owner, (2) an order by the Owner to stop the Work where the Contractor was not at fault, (3) a written order for a minor change in the Work issued by the Owner, (4) failure of payment by the
Owner, (5) termination of the Contract by the Owner, (6) Owner’s suspension or (7) other reasonable grounds, Claim shall be filed in accordance with this Section 4.3. 
 § 4.3.7 Claims for Additional Time 
 § 4.3.7.1 If the
Contractor wishes to make Claim for an increase in the Contract Time, written notice as provided herein shall be given. The Contractor’s Claim shall include an estimate of cost and of probable effect of delay on progress of the Work. In the
case of a continuing delay only one Claim is necessary. 
 § 4.3.7.2 If adverse weather conditions are the basis for a Claim for additional time,
such Claim shall be documented by data substantiating that weather conditions were abnormal for the period of time, could not have been reasonably anticipated and had an adverse effect on the scheduled construction. Moreover, the claim must be made
in writing within 21 days of the date when adverse weather conditions occurred, or shall be waived. 
 § 4.3.8 Injury or Damage to Person or
Property. If either party to the Contract suffers injury or damage to person or property because of an act or omission of the other party, or of others for whose acts such party is legally responsible, written notice of such injury or damage,
whether or not insured, shall be given to the other party within a reasonable time not exceeding 21 days after discovery. The notice shall provide sufficient detail to enable the other party to investigate the matter. 
 § 4.3.9 If unit prices are stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon, and if quantities originally contemplated are materially changed in
a proposed Change Order or Construction Change Directive so that application of such unit prices to quantities of Work proposed will cause substantial inequity to the Owner or Contractor, the applicable unit prices shall be equitably adjusted.

 § 4.3.10 Claims for Consequential Damages. With the exception of willful negligence, the Contractor and Owner waive Claims against each other
for consequential damages arising out of or relating to this Contract. This mutual waiver includes: 
  

	 	.1	damages incurred by the Owner for rental expenses, for losses of use, income, profit, financing, business and reputation, and for loss of management or employee productivity
or of the services of such persons; and 

  

	 	.2	damages incurred by the Contractor for principal office expenses including the compensation of personnel stationed there, for losses of financing, business and reputation,
and for loss of profit except anticipated profit arising directly from the Work. 

 This mutual waiver is applicable, without limitation, to
all consequential damages due to either party’s termination in accordance with Article 14. Nothing contained in this Section 4.3.10 shall be deemed to preclude an award of liquidated direct damages, when applicable, in accordance with the
requirements of the Contract Documents. 
 § 4.4 RESOLUTION OF CLAIMS AND DISPUTES 
 § 4.4.1 Decision of Owner. Claims, including those alleging an error or omission by the Owner but excluding those arising under Sections 10.3 through 10.5, shall be referred initially to the Owner for
decision. An initial decision by the Owner shall be required as a condition precedent to mediation, arbitration or litigation of all Claims between the Contractor and Owner arising prior to the date final payment is due, unless 30 days have passed
after the Claim has been referred to the Owner with no decision having been rendered. The Owner will not decide disputes between the Contractor and persons or entities other than the Owner. 
 § 4.4.2 The Architect will review Claims and within ten days of the receipt of the Claim take one or more of the following actions: (1) request
additional supporting data from the claimant or a response with supporting data from the other party, (2) reject the Claim in whole or in part, (3) approve the Claim, (4) suggest a compromise, or (5) advise the parties that the
Architect is unable to resolve the Claim if the Architect lacks sufficient information to evaluate the merits of the Claim or if the Architect concludes that, in the Architect’s sole discretion, it would be inappropriate for the Architect to
resolve the Claim.

 § 4.4.3 In evaluating Claims, the Owner may, but shall not be obligated to, consult with or seek information
from either party or from persons with special knowledge or expertise who may assist the Owner in rendering a decision. 
 § 4.4.4 If the Owner
requests a party to provide a response to a Claim or to furnish additional supporting data, such party shall respond, within ten days after receipt of such request, and shall either provide a response on the requested supporting data, advise the
Owner when the response or supporting data will be furnished or advise the Owner that no supporting data will be furnished. Upon receipt of the response or supporting data, if any, the Owner will either reject or approve the Claim in whole or in
part. 
 § 4.4.5 The Owner will approve or reject Claims by written decision, which shall state the reasons therefor and which shall notify the
parties of any change in the Contract Sum or Contract Time or both. The approval or rejection of a Claim by the Owner shall be final and binding on the parties but subject to mediation and arbitration. 
 § 4.4.6 When a written decision of the Owner states that (1) the decision is final but subject to mediation and arbitration and (2) a demand for
arbitration of a Claim covered by such decision must be made within 30 days after the date on which the party making the demand receives the final written decision, then failure to demand arbitration within said 30 days’ period shall result in
the Owner’s decision becoming final and binding upon the Owner and Contractor. 
 § 4.4.7 Upon receipt of a Claim against the Contractor or
at any time thereafter, the Owner may, but is not obligated to, notify the surety, if any, of the nature and amount of the Claim. If the Claim relates to a possibility of a Contractor’s default, the Owner may, but is not obligated to, notify
the surety and request the surety’s assistance in resolving the controversy. 
 § 4.4.8 If a Claim relates to or is the subject of a
mechanic’s lien, the party asserting such Claim may proceed in accordance with applicable law to comply with the lien notice or filing deadlines prior to resolution of the Claim by the Architect, by mediation or by arbitration. 
 § 4.5 MEDIATION 
 § 4.5.1 Any Claim arising out of or
related to the Contract, except Claims relating to aesthetic effect and except those waived as provided for in Sections 4.3.10, 9.10.4 and 9.10.5 shall, after initial decision by the Owner or 30 days after submission of the Claim to the Owner, be
subject to mediation as a condition precedent to arbitration or the institution of legal or equitable proceedings by either party. 
 § 4.5.2 The
parties shall endeavor to resolve their Claims by mediation which, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be in accordance with the Construction Industry Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association currently in effect.
Request for mediation shall be filed in writing with the other party to the Contract and with the American Arbitration Association. The request may be made concurrently with the filing of a demand for arbitration but, in such event, mediation shall
proceed in advance of arbitration or legal or equitable proceedings, which shall be stayed pending mediation for a period of 60 days from the date of filing, unless stayed for a longer period by agreement of the parties or court order. 

§ 4.5.3 The parties shall share the mediator’s fee and any filing fees equally. The mediation shall be held in the place where the Project is
located, unless another location is mutually agreed upon. Agreements reached in mediation shall be enforceable as settlement agreements in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 
 § 4.6 ARBITRATION 
 § 4.6.1 Any Claim arising out of or related to the Contract, except Claims
relating to aesthetic effect and except those waived as provided for in Sections 4.3.10, 9.10.4 and 9.10.5, shall, after decision by the Owner or 30 days after submission of the Claim to the Owner, be subject to arbitration. Prior to arbitration,
the parties shall endeavor to resolve disputes by mediation in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.5. 
 § 4.6.2 Claims not resolved
by mediation shall be decided by arbitration which, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be in accordance with the Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association currently in effect. The demand for
arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other party to the Contract and with the American Arbitration Association, and a copy shall be filed with the Architect.

 § 4.6.3 A demand for arbitration shall be made within the time limits specified in Sections 4.4.6 and 4.6.1
as applicable, and in other cases within a reasonable time after the Claim has arisen, and in no event shall it be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such Claim would be barred by the applicable statute
of limitations as determined pursuant to Section 13.7. 
 § 4.6.4 Limitation on Consolidation or Joinder. No arbitration arising out of or
relating to the Contract shall include, by consolidation or joinder or in any other manner, the Architect, the Architect’s employees or consultants, except by written consent containing specific reference to the Agreement and signed by the

Article 6 and other persons substantially involved in a common question of fact or law whose presence is required if complete relief is to be accorded in arbitration. No person or entity other than the Owner, Contractor or a separate contractor as
described in Article 6 shall be included as an original third party or additional third party to an arbitration whose interest or responsibility is insubstantial. Consent to arbitration involving an additional person or entity shall not constitute
consent to arbitration of a Claim not described therein or with a person or entity not named or described therein. The foregoing agreement to arbitrate and other agreements to arbitrate with an additional person or entity duly consented to by
parties to the Agreement shall be specifically enforceable under applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Contractor to perform a portion of the Work at the site. The term “Subcontractor” is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular in number and means a Subcontractor or an authorized representative of the Subcontractor. The
term “Subcontractor” does not include a separate contractor or subcontractors of a separate contractor. 
 § 5.1.2 A Sub-subcontractor
is a person or entity who has a direct or indirect contract with a Subcontractor to perform a portion of the Work at the site. The term “Sub-subcontractor” is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular in number and means
a Sub-subcontractor or an authorized representative of the Sub-subcontractor. 
 § 5.2 AWARD OF SUBCONTRACTS AND OTHER CONTRACTS FOR PORTIONS OF THE
WORK 
 § 5.2.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents or the bidding requirements, the Contractor, as soon as practicable after
award of the Contract, shall furnish in writing to the Owner the names of persons or entities (including those who are to furnish materials or equipment fabricated to a special design) proposed for each principal portion of the Work. The Owner will
promptly reply to the Contractor in writing stating whether or not the Owner, after due investigation, has reasonable objection to any such proposed person or entity. Failure of the Owner to reply promptly shall constitute notice of no reasonable
objection. 
 § 5.2.2 The Contractor shall not contract with a proposed person or entity to whom the Owner has made reasonable and timely
objection. The Contractor shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom the Contractor has made reasonable objection. 
 § 5.2.3 If the
Owner has reasonable objection to a person or entity proposed by the Contractor, the Contractor shall propose another to whom the Owner has no reasonable objection. If the proposed but rejected Subcontractor was reasonably capable of performing the
Work, the Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be increased or decreased by the difference, if any, occasioned by such change, and an appropriate Change Order shall be issued before commencement of the substitute Subcontractor’s Work. However,
no increase in the Contract Sum or Contract Time shall be allowed for such change unless the Contractor has acted promptly and responsively in submitting names as required.

to the Contractor by terms of the Contract Documents, and to assume toward the Contractor all the obligations and responsibilities, including the responsibility for safety of the Subcontractor’s Work, which the Contractor, by these Documents,
assumes toward the Owner. Each subcontract agreement shall preserve and protect the rights of the Owner under the Contract Documents with respect to the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor so that subcontracting thereof will not prejudice such
rights, and shall allow to the Subcontractor, unless specifically provided otherwise in the subcontract agreement, the benefit of all rights, remedies and redress against the Contractor that the Contractor, by the Contract Documents, has against the
Owner. Where appropriate, the Contractor shall require each Subcontractor to enter into similar agreements with Sub-subcontractors. The Contractor shall make available to each proposed Subcontractor, prior to the execution of the subcontract
agreement, copies of the Contract Documents to which the Subcontractor will be bound, and, upon written request of the Subcontractor, identify to the Subcontractor terms and conditions of the proposed subcontract agreement which may be at variance
with the Contract Documents. Subcontractors will similarly make copies of applicable portions of such documents available to their respective proposed Sub-subcontractors. 
 § 5.4 CONTINGENT ASSIGNMENT OF SUBCONTRACTS 
 § 5.4.1 Each subcontract agreement for a portion of the
Work is assigned by the Contractor to the Owner provided that: 
  

	 	.1	assignment is effective only after termination of the Contract by the Owner for cause pursuant to Section 14.2 and only for those subcontract agreements which the Owner
accepts by notifying the Subcontractor and Contractor in writing; and 

  

	 	.2	assignment is subject to the prior rights of the surety, if any, obligated under bond relating to the Contract. 

 § 5.4.2 Upon such assignment, if the Work has been suspended for more than 30 days, the Subcontractor’s compensation shall be equitably adjusted for
increases in actual cost resulting from the suspension. 
 ARTICLE 6 CONSTRUCTION BY OWNER OR BY SEPARATE CONTRACTORS 
 § 6.1 OWNER’S RIGHT TO PERFORM CONSTRUCTION AND TO AWARD SEPARATE CONTRACTS 
 § 6.1.1 The Owner reserves the right to perform construction or operations related to the Project with the Owner’s own forces, and to award separate contracts in connection with other portions of the
Project or other construction or Operations on the site under Conditions of the Contract identical or substantially similar to these including those portions related to insurance and waiver of subrogation. If the Contractor claims that delay or
additional cost is involved because of such action by the Owner, the Contractor shall make such Claim as provided in Section 4.3. 
 § 6.1.2
When separate contracts are awarded for different portions of the Project or other construction or operations on the site, the term “Contractor” in the Contract-Documents in each case shall mean the Contractor who executes each separate
Owner-Contractor Agreement. 
 § 6.1.3 The Owner shall provide for coordination of the activities of the Owner’s own forces and of each
separate contractor with the Work of the Contractor, who shall cooperate with them. The Contractor shall participate with other separate contractors and the Owner in reviewing their construction schedules when directed to do so. The Contractor shall
make any revisions to the construction schedule deemed necessary after a joint review and mutual agreement. The construction schedules shall then constitute the schedules to be used by the Contractor, separate contractors and the Owner until
subsequently revised. 
 § 6.1.4 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, when the Owner performs construction or operations related
to the Project with the Owner’s own forces, the Owner shall be deemed to be subject to the same obligations and to have the same rights which apply to the Contractor under the Conditions of the Contract, including, without excluding others,
those stated in Article 3, this Article 6 and Articles 10, 11 and 12.

connect and coordinate the Contractor’s construction and operations with theirs as required by the Contract Documents. 
 § 6.2.2 If part of
the Contractor’s Work depends for proper execution or results upon construction or operations by the Owner or a separate contractor, the Contractor shall, prior to proceeding with that portion of the Work, promptly report to the Owner apparent
discrepancies or defects in such other construction that would render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Failure of the Contractor so to report shall constitute an acknowledgment that the Owner’s or separate contractor’s
completed or partially completed construction is fit and proper to receive the Contractor’s Work, except as to defects not then reasonably discoverable. 
 § 6.2.3 The Owner shall be reimbursed by the Contractor for costs incurred by the Owner which are payable to a separate contractor because of delays, improperly timed activities or defective construction of the Contractor. The
Owner shall be responsible to the Contractor for costs incurred by the Contractor because of delays, improperly timed activities, and damage to the Work or defective construction of a separate contractor hired directly by Owner, or an affiliate of
the Owner (e.g. Golden Nugget), or its subcontractors, or sub-subcontractors, their agents or employees. 
 § 6.2.4 The Contractor shall promptly
remedy damage wrongfully caused by the Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors, their agents or employees to completed or partially completed construction or to property of the Owner or separate contractors as provided in Section 10.2.5.

 § 6.2.5 The Owner and each separate contractor shall have the same responsibilities for cutting and patching as are described for the
Contractor in Section 3.14. 
 § 6.3 OWNER’S RIGHT TO CLEAN UP

 § 7.3 CONSTRUCTION CHANGE DIRECTIVES 
 § 7.3.1 A Construction Change Directive is a written order prepared by and signed by the Owner, directing a change in the Work prior to agreement on adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum or Contract
Time, or both. The Owner may by Construction Change Directive, without invalidating the Contract, order changes in the Work within the general scope of the Contract consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, the Contract Sum and Contract
Time being adjusted accordingly. 
 § 7.3.2 A Construction Change Directive shall be used in the absence of total agreement on the terms of a
Change Order. 
 § 7.3.3 If the Construction Change Directive provides for an adjustment to the Contract Sum, the adjustment shall be based on
one of the following methods: 
  

	 	.1	mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation; 

  

	 	.2	unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon; 

  

	 	.3	cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by the parties and a mutually acceptable fixed or percentage fee; or 

  

	 	.4	as provided in Section 7.3.6. 

 § 7.3.4 Upon
receipt of a Construction Change Directive, the Contractor shall promptly proceed with the change in the Work involved and advise the Owner of the Contractor’s agreement or disagreement with the method, if any, provided in the Construction
Change Directive for determining the proposed adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time. 
 § 7.3.5 A Construction Change Directive signed
by the Contractor indicates the agreement of the Contractor therewith, including adjustment in Contract Sum and Contract Time or the method for determining them. Such agreement shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded as a Change Order.

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

	 	.1	costs of labor, including social security, old age and unemployment insurance, fringe benefits required by agreement or custom, and workers’ compensation insurance;

  

	 	.2	costs of materials, supplies and equipment, including cost of transportation, whether incorporated or consumed; 

  

	 	.3	rental costs of machinery and equipment, exclusive of hand tools, whether rented from the Contractor or others; 

  

	 	.4	costs of premiums for all bonds and insurance, permit fees, and sales, use or similar taxes related to the Work; and 

  

	 	.5	additional costs of supervision and field office personnel directly attributable to the change. 

 § 7.3.7 The amount of credit to be allowed by the Contractor to the Owner for a deletion or change which results in a net decrease in the Contract Sum shall be actual net cost as confirmed by the Owner.
When both additions and credits covering related Work or substitutions are involved in a change, the allowance for overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of net increase, if any, with respect to that change. 
 § 7.3.8 Pending final determination of the total cost of a Construction Change Directive to the Owner, amounts not in dispute for such changes in the Work
shall be included in Applications for Payment accompanied by a Change Order indicating the parties’ agreement with part or all of such costs. For any portion of such cost that remains in dispute, the Owner will make an interim determination for
purposes of monthly certification for payment for those costs. That determination of cost shall adjust the Contract Sum on the same basis as a Change Order, subject to the right of either party to disagree and assert a claim in accordance with
Article 4.

which have been properly authorized by Construction Change Directives, or by interim determinations of the Owner, but not yet included in Change Orders. 
 § 9.3.1.2 Such applications may not include requests for payment for portions of the Work for which the Contractor does not intend to pay to a Subcontractor or material supplier, unless such Work has been performed by others
whom the Contractor intends to pay. 
 § 9.3.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, payments shall be made on account of
materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent incorporation in the Work. If approved in advance by the Owner, payment may similarly be made for materials and equipment suitably stored off the site at a location
agreed upon in writing. Payment for materials and equipment stored on or off the site shall be conditioned upon compliance by the Contractor with procedures satisfactory to the Owner to establish the Owner’s title to such materials and
equipment or otherwise protect the Owner’s interest, and shall include the costs of applicable insurance, storage and transportation to the site for such materials and equipment stored off the site. 
 § 9.3.3 The Contractor warrants that title to all Work covered by an Application for Payment will pass to the Owner no later than the time of payment. The
Contractor further warrants that upon submittal of an Application for Payment all Work for which Certificates for Payment have been previously issued and payments received from the Owner shall, to the best of the Contractor’s knowledge,
information and belief, be free and clear of liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances in favor of the Contractor, Subcontractors, material suppliers, or other persons or entities making a claim by reason of having provided labor, materials
and equipment relating to the Work. 
 § 9.4 CERTIFICATES FOR PAYMENT 
 § 9.4.1 The Owner will, within seven days after receipt of the Contractor’s Application for Payment, either issue to the Owner a Certificate for Payment, with a copy to the Contractor, for such amount
as the Owner determines is properly due, or notify the Contractor and Owner in writing of the Owner’s reasons for withholding certification in whole or in part as provided in Section 9.5.1. 
 § 9.4.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a representation by the Owner, based on the Owner’s evaluation of the Work and the
data comprising the Application for Payment, that the Work has progressed to the point indicated and that, to the best of the Owner’s knowledge, information and belief, the quality of the Work is in

accordance with the Contract Documents, based solely upon the representations of the Contractor made in such application. The foregoing representations are
subject to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, to results of subsequent tests and inspections, to correction of minor deviations from the Contract Documents prior to completion and to
specific qualifications expressed by the Owner. The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will further constitute a representation that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified. However, the issuance of a Certificate for Payment
will not be a representation that the Owner has (1) made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures,
(3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors and material suppliers and other data requested by the Owner to substantiate the Contractor’s right to payment, or (4) made examination to ascertain how or for what
purpose the Contractor has used money previously paid on account of the Contract Sum. 
 § 9.5 DECISIONS TO WITHHOLD CERTIFICATION 
 § 9.5.1 The Owner may withhold a Certificate for Payment in whole or in part, to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the Owner, if in the
Architect’s opinion the representations to the Owner required by Section 9.4.2 cannot be made. If the Owner is unable to certify payment in the amount of the Application, the Owner will notify the Contractor and Owner as provided in
Section 9.4.1. If the Contractor and Owner cannot agree on a revised amount, the Owner will promptly issue a Certificate for Payment for the amount for which the Owner is able to verify. The Owner may also withhold a Certificate for Payment or,
because of subsequently discovered evidence, may nullify the whole or a part of a Certificate for Payment previously issued, to such extent as may be necessary in the Owner’s opinion to protect the Owner from loss for which the Contractor is
responsible, including loss resulting from acts and omissions described in Section 3.3.2, because of: 
  

	 	.1	defective Work not remedied; 

  

	 	.2	third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims unless security acceptable to the Owner is provided by the Contractor;

  

	 	.3	failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors or for labor, materials or equipment; 

  

	 	.4	reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum; 

  

	 	.5	damage to the Owner or another contractor; 

  

	 	.6	reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time, and that the unpaid balance would not be adequate to cover actual or liquidated damages for the
anticipated delay; or 

  

	 	.7	persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. 

 § 9.5.2 When the above reasons for withholding certification are removed, certification will be made for amounts previously withheld, so long as such amounts are consistent with this Contract and do not
exceed the Contract Sum. 
 § 9.6 PROGRESS PAYMENTS 
 § 9.6.1 After the Owner has issued a Certificate for Payment, the Owner shall make payment in the manner and within the time provided in the Contract Documents. 
 § 9.6.2 The Contractor shall promptly pay each Subcontractor, upon receipt of payment from the Owner, out of the amount paid to the Contractor on account of such Subcontractor’s portion of the Work,
the amount to which said Subcontractor is entitled, reflecting percentages actually retained from payments to the Contractor on account of such Subcontractor’s portion of the Work. The Contractor shall, by appropriate agreement with each
Subcontractor, require each Subcontractor to make payments to Sub-subcontractors in a similar manner. 
 § 9.6.3 The Owner will, on request,
furnish to a Subcontractor, if practicable, information regarding percentages of completion or amounts applied for by the Contractor and action taken thereon by Owner on account of portions of the Work done by such Subcontractor. 
 § 9.6.4 The Owner shall have an obligation to pay or to see to the payment of money to a Subcontractor except as may otherwise be required by law.

 § 9.6.5 Payment to material suppliers shall be treated in a manner similar to that provided in Sections 9.6.2, 9.6.3 and 9.6.4.

 § 9.6.6 A Certificate for Payment, a progress payment, or partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project
by the Owner shall not constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents. 
 § 9.6.7 Unless the Contractor provides the
Owner with a payment bond in the full penal sum of the Contract Sum, payments received by the Contractor for Work properly performed by Subcontractors and suppliers shall be held by the Contractor for those Subcontractors or suppliers who performed
Work or furnished materials, or both, under contract with the Contractor for which payment was made by the Owner. Nothing contained herein shall require money to be placed in a separate account and not commingled with money of the Contractor,
however, Contractor agrees that all sums received on behalf of others shall be considered in constructive trust on their behalf. 
 §9.7 FAILURE OF
PAYMENT 
 § 9.7.1 If the Owner does not issue a Certificate for Payment, through no fault of the Contractor, within seven days after receipt
of the Contractor’s Application for Payment, or if the Owner does not pay the Contractor within seven days after the date established in the Contract Documents the amount certified by the Owner or awarded by arbitration, then the Contractor
may, upon seven additional days’ written notice to the Owner, stop the Work until payment of the amount owing has been received. The Contract Time shall be extended appropriately and the Contract Sum shall be increased by the amount of the
Contractor’s actual costs of shut-down, delay and start-up, as provided for in the Contract Documents. 
 § 9.8 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION

 § 9.8.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or designated portion thereof is sufficiently
complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so that the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work for its intended use. 
 § 9.8.2 When the
Contractor considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete, the Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Owner a comprehensive list of items to be completed or corrected prior to
final payment. Failure to include an item on such list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. 
 § 9.8.3 Upon receipt of the Contractor’s list, the Owner will make an inspection to determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the Owner’s inspection
discloses any item, whether or not included on the Contractor’s list, which is not sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so that the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work or designated portion thereof for its intended
use, the Contractor shall, before issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion, complete or correct such item upon notification by the Owner. In such case, the Contractor shall then submit a request for another inspection by the Owner to
determine Substantial Completion. 
 § 9.8.4 When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Owner will prepare a
Certificate of Substantial Completion which shall establish the date of Substantial Completion, shall establish responsibilities of the Owner and Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and shall fix
the time within which the Contractor shall finish all items on the list accompanying the Certificate. Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence on the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof unless
otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial Completion. 
 § 9.8.5 The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be submitted to the
Owner and Contractor for their written acceptance of responsibilities assigned to them in such Certificate. Upon such acceptance and consent of surety, if any, the Owner shall, after thirty (30) days, make payment of retainage applying to such
Work or designated portion thereof. Such payment shall be adjusted for Work that is incomplete or not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents. 
 § 9.9 PARTIAL OCCUPANCY OR USE 
 § 9.9.1 The Owner may occupy or use any completed or partially
completed portion of the Work at any stage when such portion is designated by separate agreement with the Contractor, provided such occupancy or use is consented to by the insurer as required under Section 11.4.1.5 and authorized by public
authorities having jurisdiction over the Work. Such partial occupancy or use may commence whether or not the portion is substantially complete, provided the Owner and Contractor have accepted in writing the responsibilities assigned to each of them
for payments, retainage, if any, security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and have agreed in writing concerning the period for correction of the Work and commencement of warranties required by the Contract

 Documents. When the Contractor considers a portion substantially complete, the Contractor shall prepare and submit a list
to the Owner as provided under Section 9.8.2. Consent of the Contractor to partial occupancy or use shall not be unreasonably withheld. The stage of the progress of the Work shall be determined by written agreement between the Owner and
Contractor. 
 § 9.9.2 Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner and Contractor shall jointly inspect the area to be occupied
or portion of the Work to be used in order to determine and record the condition of the Work. 
 § 9.9.3 Unless otherwise agreed upon, partial
occupancy or use of a portion or portions of the Work shall not constitute acceptance of Work not complying with the requirements of the Contract Documents. 
 § 9.10 FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT 
 § 9.10.1 Upon receipt of written notice that the Work is ready for final
inspection and acceptance and upon receipt of a final Application for Payment, the Owner will promptly make such inspection and, when the Owner finds the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and the Contract fully performed, the Owner will
promptly issue a final Certificate for Payment stating that to the best of the Owner’s knowledge, information and belief, and on the basis of the Owner’s on-site visits and inspections, the Work has been completed in accordance with terms
and conditions of the Contract Documents. The Owner’s final Certificate for Payment will constitute a further representation that conditions listed in Section 9.10.2 as precedent to the Contractor’s being entitled to final payment
have been fulfilled. 
 § 9.10.2 Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage shall become due until the Contractor submits to the
Owner (1) an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which the Owner or the Owner’s property might be responsible or encumbered (less amounts withheld by Owner) have
been paid or otherwise satisfied, (2) a certificate evidencing that insurance required by the Contract Documents to remain in force after final payment is currently in effect and will not be canceled or allowed to expire until at least 30
days’ prior written notice has been given to the Owner, (3) a written statement that the Contractor knows of no substantial reason that the insurance will not be renewable to cover the period required by the Contract Documents,
(4) consent of surety, if any, to final payment and (5), if required by the Owner, other data establishing payment or satisfaction of obligations, such as receipts, releases and waivers of liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances
arising out of the Contract, to the extent and in such form as may be designated by the Owner. If a Subcontractor refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by the Owner, the Contractor may furnish a bond satisfactory to the Owner to indemnify
the Owner against such lien. If such lien remains unsatisfied after payments are made, the Contractor shall refund to the Owner all money that the Owner may be compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including all costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees. 
 § 9.10.3 If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, final completion thereof is materially delayed through no fault
of the Contractor or by issuance of Change Orders affecting final completion, and the Owner so confirms, the Owner shall, upon application by the Contractor, and without terminating the Contract, make payment of the balance due for that portion of
the Work fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than retainage stipulated in the Contract Documents, and if bonds have been furnished, the written consent of surety to payment of the
balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by the Contractor prior to certification of such payment. Such payment shall be made under terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall
not constitute a waiver of claims. 
 § 9.10.4 The making of final payment shall constitute a waiver of Claims by the Owner except those arising
from: 
  

	 	.1	liens, Claims, security interests or encumbrances arising out of the Contract and unsettled; 

  

	 	.2	failure of the Work to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents; or 

  

	 	.3	terms of special warranties required by the Contract Documents. 

  

	 	.4	defective or non-conforming work, unless previously accepted in writing by the Owner, and any warranties associated with the Work on the Project. 

 § 9.10.5 Acceptance of final payment by the Contractor, a Subcontractor or material supplier shall constitute a waiver of claims by that payee except those
previously made in writing and identified by that payee as unsettled at the time of final Application for Payment.

machinery insurance required by the Contract Documents or by law, which shall specifically cover such insured objects during installation and until final acceptance by the Owner; this insurance, if purchased, shall include interests of the Owner,
Contractor, Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors in the Work, and the Owner and Contractor shall be named insureds. 
 § 11.4.3 Loss of Use
Insurance. The Owner, at the Owner’s option, may purchase and maintain such insurance as will insure the Owner against loss of use of the Owner’s property due to fire or other hazards, however caused. The Owner waives all rights of action

 §
11.4.4 Intentionally omitted. 
 § 11.4.5 If during the Project construction period the Owner insures properties, real or personal or both,

by this separate property insurance. All separate policies shall provide this waiver of subrogation by endorsement or otherwise. 
 § 11.4.6
Before an exposure to loss may occur, the Owner shall file with the Contractor a copy of each policy that includes insurance coverages required by this Section 11.4. Each policy shall contain all generally applicable conditions, definitions,

 § 12.1.2 If a portion of the Work has been covered which the Architect has not specifically requested to
examine prior to it’s being covered, the Architect may request to see such Work and it shall be uncovered by the Contractor. If such Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents, costs of uncovering and replacement shall, by appropriate
Change Order, be at the Owner’s expense. If such Work is not in accordance with the Contract Documents, correction shall be at the Contractor’s expense unless the condition was caused by the Owner or a separate contractor in which event
the Owner shall be responsible for payment of such costs. 
 § 12.2 CORRECTION OF WORK 
 § 12.2.1 BEFORE OR AFTER SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION 
 §
12.2.1.1 The Contractor shall promptly correct Work rejected by the Owner or failing to conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents, whether discovered before or after Substantial Completion and whether or not fabricated, installed or
completed. Costs of correcting such rejected Work, including additional testing and inspections and compensation for the Owner’s services and expenses made necessary thereby, shall be at the Contractor’s expense. 
 § 12.2.2 AFTER SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION 
 § 12.2.2.1 In
addition to the Contractor’s obligations under Section 3.5, if, within one year after the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof or after the date for commencement of warranties established under
Section 9.9.1, or by terms of an applicable special warranty required by the Contract Documents, any of the Work is found to be not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall correct it promptly after
receipt of written notice from the Owner to do so unless the Owner has previously given the Contractor a written acceptance of such condition. The Owner shall give such notice promptly after discovery of the condition. During the one-year period for
correction of Work, if the Owner fails to notify the Contractor and give the Contractor an opportunity, to make the correction, the Owner waives the rights to require correction by the Contractor and to make a claim for breach of warranty. If the
Contractor fails to correct nonconforming Work within a reasonable time during that period after receipt of notice from the Owner or Architect, the Owner may correct it in accordance with Section 2.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner must
notify Contractor of any latent defect within 30 days of discovery; but in no event may a claim for breach of warranty for a latent defect be made after ten (10) years from the date of substantial completion. 
 § 12.2.2.2 The one-year period for correction of Work shall be extended with respect to portions of Work first performed after Substantial Completion by the
period of time between Substantial Completion and the actual performance of the Work. 
 § 12.2.2.3 The one-year period for correction of Work
shall not be extended by corrective Work performed by the Contractor pursuant to this Section 12.2, so long as the corrective work corrects the defective or non-conforming work. 
 § 12.2.3 The Contractor shall remove from the site portions of the Work which are not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents and are neither corrected by the Contractor nor accepted
by the Owner. 
 § 12.2.4 The Contractor shall bear the cost of correcting destroyed or damaged construction, whether completed or partially
completed, of the Owner or separate contractors caused by the Contractor’s correction or removal of Work which is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents. 
 § 12.2.5 Nothing contained in this Section 12.2 shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to other obligations which the Contractor might have under the Contract Documents.
Establishment of the one-year period for correction of Work as described in Section 12.2.2 relates only to the specific obligation of the Contractor to correct the Work, and has no relationship to the time within which the 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 the Contractor’s liability with respect to the Contractor’s obligations other than specifically to correct the
Work, nor does it limit the correction of non-conforming work discovered after one year. 
 § 12.3 ACCEPTANCE OF NONCONFORMING WORK 

§ 12.3.1 If the Owner prefers to accept Work which is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Owner may do so instead of
requiring its removal and correction, in which case the Contract Sum will be reduced as appropriate and equitable. Such adjustment shall be effected whether or not final payment has been made.

Exhibit A hereto (the “Services”). Consultant represents and warrants to the Company that (i) Consultant has all the qualifications, experience and ability to properly perform the Services, and (ii) performing under

event of any termination of this Agreement, Consultant shall be paid in accordance with Exhibit A hereto all fees owed to Consultant through the effective date of such termination. 
 4. No Authority to Bind Company; No Benefits. Consultant shall not have any authority to enter into contracts or other understandings that bind or
obligate the Company. Consultant is not an employee of the Company by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise, but is rather solely an independent contractor and therefore will not be eligible for any Company employee benefits, equity incentives,
health insurance, bonuses or otherwise in his capacity as a Consultant. To the extent Consultant otherwise would be eligible for any Company employee benefits but for the express terms of this Agreement, Consultant hereby declines to participate in
such Company employee benefits. 
 5. Intellectual Property. 
 (a) Ownership of Deliverables. Consultant hereby acknowledges and agrees that all work product that Consultant creates in connection with performing the Services (the

part thereof) whatsoever nor shall Consultant assist any third party in such claim. The Company shall own exclusively all intellectual property rights in the Deliverables, including without limitation, all patent, copyright, trade secret, know-how,
or authorship rights therein and Consultant shall not have any equitable or legal interest in such rights whatsoever. Consultant 

 
represents and warrants that, to the best of Consultant’s knowledge after due inquiry, no part of the Deliverables shall contain, use, reproduce or
require any intellectual property rights of a third party or otherwise infringe such party’s rights. 
 (b) Vesting of Certain Rights.
Consultant hereby agrees to assign, and upon creation of each Deliverable automatically assigns, to the Company, its successors and assigns, ownership of all United States and international copyrights in each and every Deliverable, insofar as
any such Deliverable, by operation of law, may not be considered work made for hire by the Consultant. 
 (c) Covenant not to Transfer.
Consultant shall not, either directly or indirectly, reproduce, transfer or otherwise use any of the Deliverables for purposes other than this Agreement. 
 6. Other Provisions. 
 (a) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended or
waived only with the written consent of Consultant and an authorized representative of the Company which writing specifically refers to this Section 6 and is manually signed in ink by both Parties. 
 (b) Sole Agreement. This Agreement, including Exhibit A hereto, constitutes the sole agreement of the Parties and supersedes all oral 
 negotiations and prior writings with respect to the subject matter hereof. 
 (c) Notices. Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently communicated when delivered by overnight delivery service, facsimile or email transmission, 24 hours
following deposit or transmission. 
 (d) Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be
governed by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws. To the extent an alternative body of law could be construed to apply to or govern this Agreement, the Parties hereby disclaim it.

 (e) Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the Parties agree to
renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the Parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of
the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded, and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms. 
 (f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 
 (g) Arbitration. Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with any provision of this Agreement will be finally settled by binding arbitration
in San Diego County, California, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association by one arbitrator appointed in accordance with said rules. The arbitrator shall apply California law, without reference to rules of conflicts of
law or rules of statutory arbitration, to the resolution of any dispute. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction in San Diego, California for preliminary or interim equitable relief, or to compel arbitration in accordance with this paragraph, without breach of this arbitration provision. 
  

 (h) Advice of Counsel. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, IN EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH PARTY HAS HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, AND HAS READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AGAINST ANY PARTY BY REASON OF THE DRAFTING OR PREPARATION HEREOF.

 (i) Survival. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement which by their nature are intended to continue beyond the

Agreement, the prevailing Party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other Party its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith and in connection with enforcing any judgment or
order thereby obtained.
