Maple Residential Investor, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, VF MultiFamily Holdings, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership, VF Residential,
Ltd., a Texas limited partnership, and Maple Residential, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (each individually, a “Guarantor”
and, collectively, the "Guarantors"), in favor of BR Southside Member, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(“BR Member”), and BR Bellaire Blvd, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”).
BR Member and the Company are referred to in this Guaranty, each individually, as a "Creditor" and, collectively,
as the "Creditors."

 

1.          Background;
Defined Terms. The Company has been formed by Blaire House, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("TCR"),
and BR Member. The Company is governed by the Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of January 9, 2015, for the Company
(the "JV Agreement"), to which TCR and BR Member are parties. As contemplated by the JV Agreement, the Company
has entered into (i) a Development Agreement, dated as of January 9, 2015 (the “Development Agreement”), with
Maple Multi-Family Operations, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Developer”), which is an affiliate
of TCR, and (ii) an Owner- Contractor Construction Agreement, dated as of January 9, 2015 (the “Construction Contract”),
with Maple Multi-Family TX Contractor, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company (the “General Contractor”),
which is an affiliate of TCR. Each of the Guarantors is an affiliate of TCR. This Guaranty is required by the JV Agreement. Any
defined term used in the JV Agreement has the meaning assigned to it in the JV Agreement when used in this Guaranty as a defined
term unless a contrary meaning is provided in this Guaranty.

 

2.          Guaranty.
The Guarantors jointly and severally guarantee to the Creditors the following (collectively, the “Obligations”):
(i) the obligation of TCR to fund Initial Capital Contributions when and as required by Section 8.1 of the JV Agreement, (ii) the
obligation of TCR to reimburse BR Member for Pursuit Costs when and as required by Section 8.1.3 or 8.1.4 of the JV Agreement,
(iii) the obligation of TCR to fund Mandatory Developer Cost Overrun Loans and Cost Overrun Loans when and as required by Sections
8.4.2 and 8.4.5 of the JV Agreement, (iv) the obligation of Developer to fund Mandatory Developer Cost Overrun Loans when and as
required by the Development Agreement, (v) the obligations of the Developer and the General Contractor to achieve Substantial Completion
of the Project as required by the Development Agreement and the Construction Contract, respectively, (vi) the construction warranty
obligations of the General Contractor under the Construction Contract and (vii) the indemnity obligations of the Developer under
the Development Agreement and the indemnity obligations of the General Contractor under the Construction Contract. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Guaranty, Guarantors’ responsibility for the General Contractor’s obligation to correct
non-conforming or defective work for the Project will terminate 12 months after Substantial Completion, other than for claims for
correction of non-conforming or defective work made during such 12-month period. Guarantors acknowledge that, except for this Guaranty,
BR Member would not have entered into the JV Agreement and the Company would not have entered into the Construction Contract or
the Development Agreement.

 

3.          Action
Against Less Than All Guarantors. Suit may be brought against one or more Guarantors without impairing the rights of Creditors
against any other Guarantor. Creditors may compromise with one or more Guarantors for less than all of the Obligations, and release
one or more Guarantors from liability to Creditors for all or part of the Obligations, in either case without impairing the right
of Creditors to demand performance from the other Guarantors.

 

4.          Other
Remedies. Creditors will not be required to pursue any other remedies before invoking the benefits of this Guaranty. Specifically,
Creditors will not be required, as a condition to pursuing one or more of Guarantors, to take any action against TCR, the Developer,
the General Contractor or any other person or entity that is liable for the Obligations or to commence or exhaust its remedies
against any security.

 

    	-1-

    	 

    

  

5.          Obligations
Not Impaired. The obligations of Guarantors under this Guaranty will not be released or impaired on account of the following:

 

(1)         The
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of TCR, the General Contractor
or the Developer, or any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceedings affecting TCR, the General
Contractor or the Developer or any of their respective assets.

 

(2)         The
addition of one or more new guarantors for the Obligations in addition to Guarantors, or the acceptance of any collateral for the
Obligations.

 

(3)         Any
impairment, modification, release or limitation of liability of, or stay of enforcement against, TCR, the General Contractor or
the Developer or any of their respective properties, or any modification, discharge or extension of the Obligations resulting from
the operation of any provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other similar federal or state law.

 

(4)         Failure
of a Creditor to preserve the liability of any person on the Obligations or in bringing suit to enforce collection of the Obligations.

 

(5)         The
exercise or failure to exercise by a Creditor of any right conferred upon it in this Guaranty, the JV Agreement, the Construction
Contract or the Development Agreement.

 

(6)         TCR,
the General Contractor or the Developer is not liable because the act of creating the Obligations is ultra vires, or the persons
creating the Obligations acted in excess of their authority, or for any other similar reason the Obligations cannot be enforced
against TCR, the General Contractor or the Developer.

 

(7)         Any
payment by TCR, the General Contractor or the Developer is avoided under the United States Bankruptcy Code or other similar federal
or state law, or for any reason a Creditor is required to refund any such payment to TCR, the General Contractor or the Developer
or to pay over to any other party all or part of any such payment.

 

(8)         Any
extension of time granted to TCR, the General Contractor or the Developer in respect of any Obligation, any waiver, modification
or indulgence granted to TCR, the General Contractor or the Developer under the JV Agreement, the Construction Contract or the
Development Agreement, or any modification of the JV Agreement, the Construction Contract or the Development Agreement.

 

(9)         The
release of any collateral for the Obligations, any failure to perfect or continue perfection of rights against any collateral for
the Obligations, any failure or delay in exercising against collateral for the Obligations, and any action against collateral for
the Obligations that impairs or destroys Guarantors' rights of subrogation.

 

6.          Guarantors'
Responsibility for Information. Guarantors hereby waive any duty on the part of Creditors to disclose to Guarantors any facts
a Creditor may now or hereafter know about TCR, the General Contractor or the Developer, regardless of whether any Creditor has
reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantors intend to assume or that such facts
are unknown to Guarantors. As between Creditors and Guarantors, Guarantors are responsible for being and keeping informed of the
financial condition of TCR, the General Contractor and the Developer and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non- performance
of the Obligations.

 

7.          Modification
or Waiver. No modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, or consent to any departure by a Guarantor
from this Guaranty, will be effective unless the same is in writing and signed by Creditors. Any waiver, in all events, will be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

 

    	-2-

    	 

    

  

8.          Exercise
of Remedies. No delay or omission by a Creditor in exercising any power or right under this Guaranty will impair any such right
or power or be construed as a waiver thereof nor will any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder. Subject to the limitations contained in this
Guaranty, all rights and remedies of Creditors under this Guaranty are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy
which Creditors may otherwise have at law or in equity or under any other contract or document, and the exercise of one or more
rights or remedies will not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.

All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered or sent, as the
case may be, by any of the following methods: (a) personal delivery with signed receipt; (b) nationally recognized overnight commercial

OWNER-CONTRACTOR CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT

(WHERE THE BASIS FOR PAYMENT IS COST
OF THE WORK PLUS A FEE)

 

This Owner-Contractor
Construction Agreement (this "Agreement"), dated as of January 9, 2015, is between BR Bellaire Blvd, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company ("Owner"), whose address is 820 Gessner, Suite 760, Houston, Texas 77024, and Maple Multi-Family
TX Contractor, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company ("Contractor"), whose address is 820 Gessner, Suite 760, Houston,
Texas 77024. An additional copy of any notice to Owner shall be provided to Owner at c/o of Bluerock Real Estate, LLC, 712 Fifth
Avenue, 9th Floor, New York, NY 10019, Attn: Jordan Ruddy and Michael Konig. Owner and Contractor agree as follows:

 

Article 1. The Project and the Work

 

1.1           The
"Project" consists of a 269-unit apartment development, including associated parking and related improvements. The Project
will be located on a ground leased site in Houston, Texas that is more particularly described in Exhibit A to this Agreement
(the "Project Site").

 

1.2           The
architect for the Project is EDI International, Inc.

 

1.3           Contractor
shall fully execute the work described in the Contract Documents (the "Work") in accordance with the Contract Documents,
except to the extent specifically indicated in the Contract Documents to be the responsibility of others. Contractor shall provide
and pay for all labor, manpower, trades, supervision, materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment, machinery and other
facilities and services necessary for the execution of the Work. The Contractor is an independent contractor and not an agent of
the Owner.

 

1.4           Owner
agrees to furnish and respond to, in a timely manner, information required by the Contract Documents or otherwise requested by
Contractor for the purpose of understanding the Work or Owner’s intentions with respect thereto. Owner agrees to make payments
to the Contractor in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

 

1.5           Contractor
shall check all materials, equipment and labor entering into the Work and shall keep such records as may be necessary for proper
management under this Agreement. Owner shall, upon written notice requesting same, be afforded reasonable access to all of Contractor’s
records, books, correspondence, instructions, drawings, receipts, vouchers, memoranda and similar data relating to this Agreement
and the Work performed hereunder.

 

Article 2. Date of Commencement; Completion

 

2.1           Subject
to Section 2.2, the Work shall be commenced within 10 calendar days after the receipt by Contractor from Owner of notice to proceed
(the "Notice to Proceed"). Contractor acknowledges that Owner's lender requires (or is expected to require) the filing
of certain documents in connection with the financing for the Project prior to the commencement of the Work, and Contractor agrees
not to commence Work under this Agreement until it has received the Notice to Proceed from Owner.

 

2.2           Contractor
shall not be required to commence performance hereunder until Contractor shall have received all permits and other governmental
authorizations and approvals required to authorize construction of the Project. Contractor shall not be required to commence performance
hereunder until Contractor shall have received evidence, in accordance with the Contract Documents, of all insurance required to
be carried by Owner under the terms of the Contract Documents. Contractor represents and warrants to Owner that it has received
any and all contractor’s licenses required by state or local authorities in the State where the Project is located.

 

    	 

    	 

    

  

2.3           Contractor
shall achieve completion of phases of the Work in accordance with the following milestones, subject
to adjustments of the Contract Time as provided in the Contract Documents:

 

	Begin demolition of existing improvements	July 1, 2015
	Begin framing residential units	July 18, 2016
	Delivery of first residential unit	March 2, 2017
	Delivery of the last residential unit	December 4, 2017

 

Contractor shall achieve Substantial Completion
of the Work by December 4, 2017, subject to adjustments of the Contract Time as provided in the Contract Documents. Contractor
shall achieve final completion of all Work within 90 days after Substantial Completion.

 

Article 3. Basis for Payment

 

3.1           In
consideration of Contractor’s performance of the Work, Owner shall pay to Contractor a sum of money equal to the Contract
Sum. The “Contract Sum” is the total of (1) Costs of the Work (as hereinafter defined) and (2) Contractor’s Fee
(in the amount provided herein). Payments shall be made in the manner and at the times provided for in this Agreement.

 

3.2           The
Contract Sum includes the fixed amount of $1,911,318 (as adjusted, “Contractor’s Fee”), which is understood and
agreed to constitute the amount to be paid Contractor as its fee for the Work. Contractor’s Fee is Contractor’s total
compensation for the Work, and Contractor’s Fee will not be adjusted except as specifically set forth in any Change Orders
approved by Owner in its sole discretion or as otherwise required under this Agreement or the other Contract Documents. The Contractor’s
Fee shall be paid in monthly installments based on a percentage of completion of the Work; provided that to the extent that
draws against the Initial Capital Contributions (as defined in the LLC Agreement) and the Loan or, to the extent not funded from
those sources, other existing available funds of Owner are not sufficient to pay the Contractor’s Fee on such basis, the
excess amount shall be deferred until final payment under Section 7.6, at which time the unpaid balance of the Contractor’s
Fee shall be due in full.

 

3.3           Adjustments
to the Contract Sum on account of changes in the Work shall be on the basis of the actual additional Costs of the Work incurred
by Contractor plus a supplement to the Contractor’s Fee in the amount of 5% of the incremental increase in the Costs of the
Work, if any.

 

Article 4. Costs to be Reimbursed

 

The term “Costs of the Work”
shall mean all costs incurred and actually paid in the performance of the Work by the Contractor. Such costs shall include the
items set forth below in this Article 4.

 

4.1           Wages
of construction workers directly employed by Contractor at market rates (or at rates otherwise approved by Owner) to perform the
construction of the Work at the Project Site or at off-site workshops.

on the share of their time chargeable to the Work.

 

4.3           An
allocable share of salaries and wages of Contractor’s field engineers, project manager, project administrator, project executive
and other personnel to the extent their time is attributable to the Work, wherever they may be actually stationed. Such wages and
salaries shall be based on the then current wage and salaries scales used by the Contractor (or its affiliates) in connection with
employees holding such positions in connection with other similarly situated projects.

with the Project and in accordance with the Contract Documents.

(including transportation, storage, installation, maintenance, dismantling and removal) of materials, supplies, temporary facilities,

of all machinery and equipment used at the Project, including rental charges, installation, fuel, minor repairs and replacements,
dismantling, removal, transportation and delivery costs thereof.

of premiums for all insurance which Contractor is required by the Contract Documents or the Loan Documents to purchase and maintain,

upon by the parties hereto. Owner shall make payment not later than 10 days after Owner’s receipt of an Application for Payment
together with the other information required under this Section 7.1.

 

7.2           Subject
to other provisions of the Contract Documents, the amount of each progress payment shall be computed as follows:

 

(1)         take
the Costs of the Work incurred by Contractor, as established by the related Application for Payment;

 

(2)         add
the cost of materials, supplies and equipment not yet incorporated into the Work for which payment is allowed by Section 7.1;

 

(3)         subtract
the shortfall, if any, indicated by Contractor in the documentation required by the Contract Documents to substantiate prior Applications
for Payment or resulting from errors subsequently discovered in such documentation;

 

    	- 5 -

    	 

    

  

(4)         subtract
retainage on amounts due as provided for in Section 7.4;

 

(5)         subtract
amounts, if any, as provided in Subparagraph 9.3.1 of the General Conditions of the Contract for Construction;

 

(6)         subtract
the amount of prior payments to Contractor, net of amounts disallowed under paragraph (3) or (5) above; and

 

(7)         add
the portion of Contractor’s Fee due in accordance with Section 3.2.

 

7.3           If
any Application for Payment submitted by Contractor to Owner contains requests for payment that are in excess of the amounts due
under this Agreement, Owner shall not be obligated to pay the excessive amount, but Owner shall identify the amounts which it believes
are excessive in a notice to Contractor delivered on or before the date on which payment otherwise would be due. Owner shall not
be in default under this Agreement, and Contractor shall continue to prosecute the Work in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
notwithstanding the failure of Owner to pay amounts which Owner in good faith claims are excessive. Nothing in this Section 7.3
limits Contractor’s rights and remedies or Owner’s liability in respect of amounts improperly withheld by Owner.

 

7.4           Contractor
agrees that 10% of the amounts due under each subcontract may be retained by Owner for the first half of the payments due such
subcontractor (with no requirement for any additional retention for the remainder of the amounts due such subcontractor); provided
that payment in full shall be made without retainage for those subcontractors listed on Exhibit D attached hereto. No
retainage shall be held against other amounts due Contractor, including amounts due for materials purchased by Contractor, so called
“general conditions” items, contingency and Contractor’s Fee. All retainage under subcontracts shall be shown
in Contractor’s Applications for Payment as a deduction from the gross amount due. Retainage shall be advanced to Contractor
as provided in this Agreement.

 

7.5           Retainage
applicable to a given subcontract will be released upon request of Contractor at any time beginning 30 days after the Subcontractor
completes its work for the Project, subject to receipt of a final lien waiver in such form as to release all of the Subcontractor’s
claims against the Project. Release of retainage to a given Subcontractor is not dependent on completion of the Work or performance
by other Subcontractors.

 

7.6           Final
payment, constituting the unpaid balance of the Costs of the Work and the Contractor’s Fee, including all retainage not previously
released, shall be paid by Owner to Contractor as provided in the General Conditions of the Contract for Construction. Owner's
final payment to Contractor shall be made no later than 30 days after submission of Contractor's final Application for Payment
and all other information within Contractor’s control that is required under the Loan Documents in connection with any draw
request, subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Contract Documents. Final payment shall
not preclude Contractor from claiming amounts subsequently becoming due, including amounts incurred in respect of warranty work,
or amounts in respect of Claims that are being disputed at the time of final payment.

 

7.7           If
Owner determines the Costs of the Work to be other than as stated in Contractor's final Application for Payment, and as a result
thereof does not pay the full amount requested under the Application for Payment, Contractor shall be entitled to the remedies
set forth in the Contract Documents, including the right to mediation and the right to demand arbitration of the disputed amount
in accordance with Paragraph 4.4 of the General Conditions of the Contract for Construction. Such demand for arbitration shall
be made by Contractor within 30 days after Contractor's receipt of Owner's response to the final Application for Payment. Pending
a final resolution by arbitration, Owner shall pay Contractor the undisputed amount from Contractor's final Application for Payment.
If Contractor does not exercise its remedies under Article 4 of the General Conditions of the Contract for Construction within
such 30 day period, the Contractor shall be deemed to have accepted Owner’s determination of the Costs of the Work.

Article 8. Termination

 

8.1           This
Agreement may be terminated by Owner for cause as provided in Article 14 of the General Conditions of the Contract for Construction.
The amount, if any, to be paid to Contractor under Subparagraph 14.2.5 of the General Conditions of the Contract for Construction
(before any offsets for costs incurred by Owner) shall be calculated as follows:

 

(1)         take
the Costs of the Work incurred by Contractor to the date of termination;

 

(2)         add
Contractor's Fee computed upon the Costs of the Work to the date of termination at the rate stated in Section 3.2 or, if Contractor's
Fee is stated as a fixed sum in Section 3.2, an amount that bears the same ratio to that fixed-sum Contractor's Fee as the Costs
of the Work at the time of termination bears to a reasonable estimate of the probable Costs of the Work through completion of the
Work;

 

(3)         add
the amount of any loss with respect to materials, equipment, supplies, and construction equipment and machinery or termination
of commitments for materials, supplies, equipment, machinery and other items; and

 

(4)         subtract
the aggregate of previous payments made by Owner.

 

8.2           If
Contractor terminates this Agreement as provided in Article 14 of the General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, the
amount, if any, to be paid to Contractor under Subparagraph

14.1.3 of the General Conditions of the
Contract for Construction as “payment for Work executed” shall be the Costs of the Work incurred by Contractor to the
date of termination (including any retainage not previously paid) less the aggregate of previous payments made by Owner on account
of Costs of the Work.

 

8.3           Owner
shall also pay Contractor fair compensation, either by purchase or rental at the election of Owner, for any equipment owned by
Contractor that Owner elects to retain and that is not otherwise included in the Costs of the Work. To the extent that Owner elects
to take legal assignment of subcontracts and purchase orders (including rental agreements), Contractor shall, as a condition of
receiving the payments referred to in this Article 8, execute and deliver all such papers and take all such steps (including the
legal assignment of such subcontracts and other contractual rights of Contractor) as Owner may require for the purpose of fully
vesting in Owner the rights and benefits of Contractor under such subcontracts or purchase orders.

 

8.4           If
Owner or Contractor is adjudged a bankrupt, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver is appointed
on account of its insolvency, such could impair or frustrate the performance of this Agreement. Accordingly, it is agreed that
upon the occurrence of any such event, the other party to this Agreement shall be entitled to request of the bankrupt or otherwise
insolvent party, or its successor in interest, adequate assurance of future performance in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the Contract Documents, which may be satisfied, in the case of the Owner, through a commitment from the construction lender
to continue to fund construction draws under the Loan Documents notwithstanding such events having occurred with respect to Owner.
Failure to comply with such request within 10 days of delivery of the request shall be grounds for the termination of this Agreement,
as in the case of failure of performance, and to the accompanying rights set forth in this Agreement and the General Conditions
of the Contract for Construction.

 

    	- 7 -

    	 

    

  

8.5           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that Blaire House, LLC, one of the current managers of the Owner, is removed
as the manager of the Owner pursuant to the terms of Section 5.9 of the LLC Agreement, then Owner shall have the right, upon written
notice to Contractor, to terminate this Agreement without cause. In the event that Owner exercises its rights under this Section
8.5 to terminate this Agreement, Contractor shall not be entitled to any damages as a result of such termination but shall be entitled
to receive “payment for Work executed”, which shall be defined to be the Cost of the Work incurred by Contractor to
the date of termination (including any retainage not previously paid) plus the commensurate portion of Contractor’s Fee less
the aggregate of previous payments made by Owner on account of Costs of the Work and Contractor’s Fee; provided that nothing
in this Section 8.5 shall be deemed to require that any retainage be released prior to the satisfaction of all requirements for
the release thereof under the Contract Documents.

in this Agreement or any other Contract Document is intended to provide for indemnification (or defense) against a claim caused
by the negligence or fault, the breach or violation of a statute, ordinance, governmental regulation, standard, or rule, or the
breach of contract of the indemnitee or its agent or employee, or any third-party under the control or supervision of the indemnitee
(other than the indemnitor or its agent, employee, or subcontractor of any tier), to the extent that indemnification under the
circumstances is declared to be against public policy by Section 151.102 of the Texas Insurance Code. If any indemnification provision
of this Agreement or another Contract Document, by its terms, purports to allow for indemnification (including defense against
claims) that are made unenforceable by Section 151.102 of the Texas Insurance Code, then such provision shall be inapplicable to
the extent that it is so made unenforceable, but the inclusion of the unenforceable rights shall not affect the indemnification
provision as applied to other circumstances, and the indemnitee shall continue to be entitled to indemnification (including defense
against claims) to the maximum extent otherwise allowed by the provision and consistent with applicable laws.

GENERAL CONDITIONS OF THE CONTRACT

FOR CONSTRUCTION

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

 

GENERAL CONDITIONS OF THE CONTRACT
FOR CONSTRUCTION

 

ARTICLE 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

1.1.BASIC DEFINITIONS

 

1.1.1.THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

 

The Contract Documents consist of the Owner-Contractor
Construction Agreement between Owner and Contractor (hereinafter the "Agreement"), these General Conditions of the Contract
for Construction, the Drawings and Specifications, other documents listed in Article 10 of the Agreement, if any, and Modifications
issued after execution of the Contract. A Modification is (1) a written amendment to the Contract signed by both parties or (2)
a Change Order. 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, Contractor's bid or 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 Owner and a Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor
or (2) between any persons other than 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 Contractor to fulfill Contractor's obligations.

 

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 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 and Specifications. If no Project Manual has been prepared,
all references to the Project Manual shall be interpreted as if replaced with a reference to the 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 Contractor. The Contract Documents are complementary,
and what is required by one shall be as binding as if required by all. Work by Contractor will be required only to the extent specifically
called out in the Contract Documents or inferable from the Contract Documents and necessary to produce the Work called out by the
Contract Documents.

 

1.2.2.Organization of the Specifications into divisions,
sections and articles, and arrangement of Drawings shall not control 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.

 

1.2.4.In the case of conflict among the Contract
Documents, the conflict shall be resolved by giving preference to the Contract Documents in the following order of priority:

 

.1the Agreement;

 

.2these General Conditions of the Contract for Construction;
and

 

.3the Drawings and the Specifications.

 

The Drawings shall take precedence over
the Specifications; computed dimensions shall take precedence over scaled dimensions; and large scale drawings shall take precedence
over small scale drawings.

 

1.3.CAPITALIZATION

 

1.3.1.Terms capitalized in these General Conditions
of the Contract for Construction include those which are (1) specifically defined and (2) the titles of numbered articles and identified
references to Paragraphs, Subparagraphs and Clauses.

 

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 Agreement shall be signed by Owner and
Contractor. If either Owner or Contractor or both do not sign any Contract Documents, such unsigned Documents shall be identified
by Owner or Contractor upon request of the other.

 

1.5.2.Execution of the Contract by Contractor is
a representation that Contractor has visited the Project 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
AND SPECIFICATIONS

 

1.6.1.The Drawings, Specifications and other design-related
documents (including those in electronic form) prepared by or for Contractor are the property of Contractor or its consultants.

 

    	 

    	 

    

  

Contractor shall provide Owner with copies
of all such Drawings, Specifications and other design-related documents, and Owner may retain such materials upon completion of
the Work. Owner shall not own or claim a copyright in the Drawings, Specifications and other design-related documents prepared
by or for Contractor, and unless otherwise indicated Contractor and/or its consultants shall be deemed the authors of them and
will retain all common law, statutory and other reserved rights, including the copyrights. The Drawings, Specifications and other
design-related documents furnished by Contractor to Owner are for use solely with respect to the Project. Owner and its contractors,
subcontractors and suppliers are authorized to use, reproduce and distribute the Drawings, Specifications and other design-related
documents provided by Contractor as appropriate to and for use with respect to the Project, including in connection with any work
undertaken in construction of the Project in the event that the Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms hereof. All
copies made under this authorization shall bear the statutory copyright notice, if any, shown on the Drawings, Specifications and
other design-related documents. Submittal or distribution to meet official regulatory requirements or for other purposes in connection
with the Project is not to be construed as publication in derogation of copyrights or other reserved rights of Contractor and its
consultants.

 

1.6.2.The Drawings, Specifications and other documents
(including those in electronic form) prepared by Owner's architects, engineers and other consultants are instruments of service
through which Work to be executed by Contractor is described. Contractor may retain one record set of all such materials. Neither
Contractor nor any Subcontractor, Sub- subcontractor or supplier shall own or claim a copyright in the Drawings, Specifications
and other documents prepared by Owner's architects, engineers and other consultants, and unless otherwise indicated Owner and/or
Owner's architects, engineers and other consultants shall be deemed the authors of them and will retain all common law, statutory
and other reserved rights, including the copyrights. All copies of such Drawings, Specifications and other documents, except Contractor's
record set, shall be suitably accounted for to Owner or, upon Owner’s request, returned to Owner upon completion of the Work.
The Drawings, Specifications and other documents prepared by Owner's architects, engineers and other consultants and furnished
to Contractor are for use solely with respect to the Project, and they are not to be used by Contractor or any Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor
or supplier on any other project or for additions to the Project or work outside the scope of the Work without the specific written
consent of Owner. Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub- subcontractors and suppliers are granted a limited license to use, reproduce
and distribute the Drawings, Specifications and other documents prepared by Owner's architects, engineers and other consultants
appropriate to and for use in the execution of their Work under the Contract Documents. All copies made under such license shall
bear the statutory copyright notice, if any, shown on the Drawings, Specifications and other documents. Submittal or distribution
to meet official regulatory requirements or for other purposes in connection with the Work is not to be construed as publication
in derogation of copyrights or other reserved rights of Owner or Owner's architects, engineers and other consultants.

 

ARTICLE 2. OWNER

 

2.1.GENERAL

 

2.1.1.Owner is the person identified as such in the
Agreement and is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular in number. Owner shall designate in writing one or
more representatives who shall have express authority to bind Owner with respect to all matters requiring Owner's approval or authorization.

 

2.1.2.Owner shall furnish to Contractor within 15
days after receipt of a written request, information necessary and relevant for Contractor to evaluate, give notice of or enforce

2.2.INFORMATION AND SERVICES REQUIRED
OF OWNER

 

2.2.1.Owner shall, prior to commencement of the Work
and, at the request of Contractor, from time to time thereafter, furnish to Contractor reasonable evidence that financial arrangements
have been made to fulfill Owner’s obligations under the Contract Documents, which obligation may be satisfied through the
delivery to Contractor of a copy of the Loan Documents. Furnishing of such evidence shall be a condition precedent to commencement
or continuation of the Work. After such evidence has been provided, Owner will not materially vary such financial arrangements
without notice to Contractor.

 

2.2.2.Except for permits, including those required
under Paragraph 3.7, which are the responsibility of Contractor under the Contract Documents, Owner shall secure all necessary
permits, licenses, approvals, easements and assessments required for execution of the Work or for construction, use or occupancy
of the Project and will pay all related fees, assessments and charges.

 

2.2.3.Owner shall furnish (1) a survey describing
physical characteristics, limitations of record in the real estate records and utility locations for the Project Site and (2) a
legal description of the Project Site. Contractor shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy of such information furnished by Owner
pursuant to this provision.

 

2.2.4.Information or services required of Owner by
the Contract Documents, and any other information or services relevant to Contractor's performance of the Work under Owner's control,
shall be furnished by Owner with reasonable promptness.

 

2.2.5.Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents,
Contractor will be furnished, free of charge, such copies of Drawings and Project Manuals as are reasonably necessary for execution

sheets, shop drawings, diagrams and other design documents which the Contract Documents require Contractor to prepare or secure.

 

2.3.OWNER'S RIGHT TO STOP THE WORK

 

2.3.1.If Contractor fails to correct Work which is
not in substantial accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents as required by Paragraph 3.5, Owner may issue a written
order to Contractor to stop the Work or the affected portion thereof, to the extent necessary to allow for correction of the defective
Work, until the cause for such order has been eliminated. The right of Owner to stop the Work shall not give rise to a duty on
the part of Owner to exercise that right for the benefit of Contractor or any other person, except to the extent required by Subparagraph
6.1.3.

 

    	- 2 -

    	 

    

  

2.4.OWNER'S RIGHT TO CARRY OUT THE
WORK AND CORRECT DEFECTS

 

2.4.1.If Contractor fails to effect any correction
of defective or nonconforming Work within a 14-day period (or within 1 day if such defective or nonconforming work constitutes
a risk to property or persons or an emergency condition) after receipt of written notice from Owner, then Owner may, after expiration
of such 14-day period, give Contractor a second notice to effect such correction; provided no additional notice shall be required
in connection with a situation where property or persons are at physical risk or an emergency condition exists). If Contractor
does not commence within seven days after receipt of such second notice to correct the specified deficiency or does not thereafter
diligently pursue such correction, then Owner may, without prejudice to other remedies Owner may have, correct such deficiency.
In such case Owner may deduct from payments then or thereafter due Contractor the reasonable cost of correcting such deficiency
(including Owner's expenses and compensation for architectural, engineering and similar services made necessary by such failure)
actually incurred by Owner. If payments then or thereafter due Contractor are not sufficient to cover such amounts, Contractor
shall pay the difference to Owner.

 

ARTICLE 3. CONTRACTOR

 

3.1.GENERAL

 

3.1.1.Contractor is the person identified as such
in the Agreement and is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular in number.

 

3.1.2.The Contractor shall perform the Work in substantial
accordance with the Contract Documents and submittals approved in accordance with the Contract Documents. When the Contract Documents
allow for a selection among alternate materials, including where the Contract Documents specify a particular material “or
equal” or provide for similar alternatives, Contractor may make the selection.

 

3.1.3.Contractor shall not be relieved of its obligations
to perform the Work in substantial accordance with the Contract Documents either by activities or duties of any architect, engineer
or other professional, or by tests, inspections or approvals required or performed by persons other than Contractor. Nothing in
this Subparagraph 3.1.3 limits Contractor’s right to make a Claim for an increase in the Contract Sum or an extension of
the Contract Time to compensate for delays or extra costs suffered by Contractor as a result of actions or failure to act when
required by any architect, engineer or other professional or delays in obtaining tests, inspections or approvals.

 

3.2.REVIEW OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
AND FIELD CONDITIONS BY CONTRACTOR

 

3.2.1.Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph
3.2, Contractor is not responsible for the completeness of the Contract Documents, or for errors, omission or inconsistencies in
the Contract Documents, or for determining that the Contract Documents or the Work comply with applicable laws, statutes, ordinances,
building codes, and rules and regulations, or for determining that the Work as contemplated by the Contract Documents will be structurally
sound, operable as intended or sufficient for Owner’s planned use.

 

3.2.2.If Contractor knows that the Contract Documents
or the Work is not in accordance with applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, or rules and regulations, Contractor
shall promptly report the same to Owner. Contractor also shall report to Owner any errors, omissions or inconsistencies in the
Contract Documents that become known to Contractor, unless immaterial to the Work as reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents.

 

3.2.3.Before commencing any portion of the Work,
Contractor shall take field measurements of any existing conditions related to that portion of the Work and shall observe any conditions
at the Project Site affecting that portion of the Work. Any errors, inconsistencies or omissions discovered by Contractor shall
be reported promptly to Owner. Contractor shall not be liable for any difference between field conditions and conditions assumed
in the Contract Documents unless Contractor caused such difference or otherwise obtains knowledge of such difference and fails
to report it to Owner.

 

3.2.4.If Contractor fails to perform its obligations
under Subparagraphs 3.2.2 and 3.2.3, Contractor shall pay to Owner such costs and damages (including additional costs to correct
or replace any parts of the Work) as would have been avoided if Contractor had performed such obligations.

 

3.3.SUPERVISION AND CONSTRUCTION
PROCEDURES

 

3.3.1.Contractor shall supervise and direct the Work,
using Contractor's best skill and attention. 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, 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 Contractor determines that such means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures may not be safe, Contractor
shall give timely written notice to Owner and shall not proceed with that portion of the Work without further written instructions
from the design professional responsible for preparation of the related design, with Owner's concurrence to the extent required
by the Contract Documents. If Contractor is then instructed to proceed with the required means, methods, techniques, sequences
or procedures without acceptance of changes proposed by Contractor, Owner shall be solely responsible for any loss, damage or injury
directly attributable to the Owner’s election to not follow Contractor’s advice.

 

3.3.2.Subject to limitations provided in other portions
of the Contract Documents, Contractor shall be responsible to Owner for acts and omissions of Contractor's employees, Subcontractors
and their agents and employees, and other persons performing portions of the Work for or on behalf of Contractor or any of its
Subcontractors.

 

3.3.3.Contractor shall be responsible for inspection
of portions of Work already performed to determine that such portions are in proper condition to receive subsequent Work. Contractor
will not be responsible for the sufficiency of work performed by Owner or Owner’s separate contractors.

 

3.4.LABOR AND MATERIALS

 

3.4.1.Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents,
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.Contractor may make substitutions only with
the consent of Owner and in accordance with a Change Order. This provision does not apply to Contractor’s selection from
among alternatives when such alternatives are allowed by the Contract Documents.

 

3.4.3.Contractor shall enforce strict discipline
and good order among Contractor's employees and other persons carrying out the Contract. Contractor shall not permit employment
of unfit persons or persons not skilled in tasks assigned to them.

3.5.WARRANTY

 

3.5.1.Contractor warrants to Owner that materials
and equipment furnished under the Contract will be of good quality and new (unless otherwise required or permitted by the Contract
Documents) and in substantial conformance with the requirements of the Contract Documents and that the Work will be in substantial
accordance with the Contract Documents and free of defects not inherent in the quality required or permitted under the Contract
Documents. Work not conforming to these requirements, including substitutions not properly approved and authorized, will be considered
“defective.”

 

3.5.2.Contractor will, at Contractor’s expense,
correct Work that is defective (within the meaning of Subparagraph 3.5.1) and of which it receives notice from Owner within one
year after Substantial Completion of the Work. Before pursuing any remedy (whether available under the Contract Documents, at law,
or otherwise) for defective Work, Owner must (1) notify Contractor in writing of the defective Work and, to the extent possible,
of the specific deficiency that Owner requires to be corrected and (2) afford Contractor a reasonable period of time in which to
identify and implement a solution. Contractor’s responsibility to correct defective Work, as well as Owner’s remedies
(whether available under the Contract Documents, at law, or otherwise) for defective Work, will terminate one year after Substantial
Completion of the Work, except as to defective Work identified to Contractor in writing by Owner during such one-year period.

 

3.5.3.Contractor will not be required to correct
minor, immaterial departures from the Contract Documents. Contractor also will not be liable for shortcomings in the Work (whether
resulting from inadequacies in design, materials or execution) that do not constitute defective Work as defined in Subparagraph
3.5.1. Contractor's warranty excludes remedy for damage or defect caused by abuse (other than by abuse of Contractor and the parties
that Contractor is responsible for), modifications not executed by Contractor or its Subcontractors, improper or insufficient maintenance,
improper operation, normal wear and tear or normal usage.

 

3.5.4.IT IS THE INTENT OF THIS PARAGRAPH 3.5 TO PROVIDE
FOR THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AGAINST CONTRACTOR FOR ANY DEFECT OR OTHER SHORTCOMING IN THE WORK (WHETHER RESULTING FROM FAILURE OF
COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS OF OTHERWISE), WITH THE RESULT THAT CONTRACTOR WILL BE LIABLE FOR CORRECTION OF ONLY THOSE
DEFECTS AND SHORTCOMINGS THAT ARE DEFINED AS DEFECTIVE WORK BY SUBPARAGRAPH 3.5.1 AND ONLY FOR THE TIME PERIOD SPECIFIED IN SUBPARAGRAPH
3.5.2 AND THAT THE EXERCISE OF OWNER’S REMEDIES WILL BE SUBJECT TO ALL CONDITIONS PROVIDED IN THIS PARAGRAPH 3.5. WITHOUT
LIMITING OTHER PROVISIONS, IN NO CASE WILL CONTRACTOR HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RELATED LOSS (INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF RENTS
OR OTHER REVENUES OR DAMAGE TO PARTS OF THE PROJECT OTHER THAN THE DEFECTIVE WORK) OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SUFFERED
BY OWNER AS A RESULT OF ANY DEFECT OR OTHER SHORTCOMING IN THE WORK (WHETHER RESULTING FROM FAILURE OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONTRACT
DOCUMENTS OF OTHERWISE). OWNER (FOR ITSELF AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, INCLUDING ANY SUCCESSOR OWNER OF THE PROJECT) HEREBY
EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES (EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE),

 

INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
HABITABILITY, AND GOOD AND WORKMANLIKE CONSTRUCTION AND WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR USE OR ACCEPTABILITY FOR THE
PURPOSE INTENDED, AND OTHER BASIS FOR RECOVERY OR REIMBURSEMENT (INCLUDING ANY GROUND FOR RECOVERY BASED ON NEGLIGENCE
OR STRICT LIABILITY) TO THE EXTENT THE SAME WOULD ALLOW GREATER RECOURSE AGAINST CONTRACTOR THAN PROVIDED IN THIS PARAGRAPH
3.5. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS PARAGRAPH 3.5 ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CONTRACT, AND OWNER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT CONTRACTOR WOULD NOT
HAVE ENTERED INTO THE CONTRACT OR AGREED TO PERFORM THE WORK FOR THE CONSIDERATION SPECIFIED IN THE CONTRACT HAD SUCH PROVISIONS
NOT BEEN A PART OF THE CONTRACT.

 

3.5.5.This Paragraph 3.5 controls in the case of
a conflict with any other provision of the Contract Documents. Without limitation, rights against Contractor with respect to defective
Work under any other provision of the Contract Documents (including Paragraph 2.3, 2.4 or 12.2) will terminate upon expiration
of the period specified in Subparagraph 3.5.2, whether or not so provided in such other provision.

 

3.5.6.This Section 3.5 is not intended to limit the
effect of any warranty or similar undertaking provided by a Subcontractor, a supplier or another person providing labor, materials,
equipment or supplies in connection with the Work (other than Contractor and its employees) or any other rights Owner may have
against any such person in respect of defective workmanship, materials, equipment or supplies. Contractor will assign to Owner
(and provide reasonable assistance to Owner, at Owner’s cost, in enforcing) any warranties available under any subcontracts
from any Subcontractor or under any contract for the provision of materials to the Project.

 

3.6.TAXES

 

3.6.1.Contractor shall pay sales, consumer, use and
similar taxes for the Work or portions thereof provided by the Contractor. If the Contract Sum is determined based on a fixed price
or guaranteed maximum cost to Owner, Contractor shall be entitled to an increase in the fixed price or guaranteed maximum cost
in the amount of any such taxes (or increases in the rate of any such taxes) which are legally enacted after bids are received
or negotiations concluded.

 

3.7.PERMITS, FEES AND NOTICES

 

3.7.1.Contractor shall be responsible for securing
any building permit or other governmental permits, licenses and inspections necessary for the Work only to the extent specifically
provided in the Contract Documents. See Subparagraph 2.2.2 as to Owner’s responsibility for permits, licenses and approvals.

 

3.7.2.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.Contractor has obtained any contractor's license
required of it in the performance of its activities under the Contract Documents. Contractor shall ensure that all Subcontractors
hold similar licenses when required. Contractor shall provide evidence of such licenses to Owner upon request.

 

3.8.[INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

 

3.9.SUPERINTENDENT

 

3.9.1.Contractor shall employ a competent superintendent
and necessary assistants who shall be in attendance at the Project Site during performance of all material parts of the Work. The
superintendent shall represent Contractor, but communications given to the superintendent shall be binding on Contractor only if
confirmed in a written communication to Contractor in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Contract.

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 Contractor proposes to conform to the information given and
the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. Informational submittals upon which Owner is required to take responsive
action are so identified in the Contract Documents. Submittals which are not required by the Contract Documents may be returned
by Owner without action.

 

3.12.5.Contractor shall submit to Owner Shop Drawings,
Product Data, Samples and similar submittals required by the Contract Documents with reasonable promptness and in such sequence
as to minimize delay in the Work or in the activities of Owner or separate contractors. Submittals made by Contractor which are
not required by the Contract Documents may be returned by Owner without action.

 

3.12.6.By submitting Shop Drawings, Product Data,
Samples and similar submittals, Contractor represents that Contractor has determined and verified materials, field measurements

unless Contractor has specifically informed Owner in writing of such deviation at the time of submittal and a Change Order has
been issued authorizing the deviation. Contractor shall not be relieved of responsibility for errors or omissions in Shop Drawings,
Product Data, Samples or similar submittals by Owner's approval thereof.

 

3.12.9.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 Owner on previous submittals. In the absence of such written notice Owner's approval of a resubmission shall not apply to such
revisions.

 

3.12.10.Contractor shall not be required to provide
professional services which constitute the practice of architecture or engineering. If professional design services or certifications
by a design professional are required, Owner 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.

and all Work (whether in progress or completed) at all times.

 

3.17.ROYALTIES, PATENTS AND COPYRIGHTS

 

3.17.1.Contractor shall pay all royalties and license
fees. Contractor shall defend suits or claims for infringement of copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights and
shall hold Owner harmless from loss on account thereof, but Contractor shall not be responsible for such defense or loss when a
particular design, process or product is required by the Contract Documents or where the violations are contained in the Drawings,
Specifications or other documents prepared by Owner, Architect or another design professional engaged by Owner. If Contractor has
reason to believe that any design, process or product is an infringement of a copyright, patent or other intellectual property
right, Contractor shall promptly notify Owner.

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 acts or omissions of Contractor, a Subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them or anyone for whose
acts they may be liable and only to the extent that responsibility is not assigned to Owner or its insurers under other provisions
of the Contract.

 

3.18.2.Contractor’s responsibility under Subparagraph
3.18.1 shall be limited to the coverage provided by any insurance maintained by (or required under the Contract Documents to be
maintained by) Contractor (regardless of whether such insurance is required by the Contract).

 

3.18.3.In claims against any person indemnified under
this Paragraph 3.18 by an employee of Contractor, a Subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them or anyone for
whose acts they may be liable, the indemnification obligation under Subparagraph 3.18.1 shall not be limited by a limitation on
amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for Contractor or a Subcontractor under workers' compensation

ARTICLE 4. ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONTRACT

 

4.1.ARCHITECT

 

4.1.1.The Architect is the person, lawfully licensed
to practice architecture or an entity lawfully practicing architecture, retained by Owner for design for the Work. If more than
one person or entity is retained for such function, references to the Architect shall be considered to mean the one responsible
for the related design or, in general matters, the one with primary responsibility for the Work. References to the Architect throughout
the Contract Documents are singular in number regardless of the number of persons or entities employed in connection with the Work.

 

4.1.2.If the employment of the Architect is terminated,
Owner shall employ a new Architect against whom Contractor has no reasonable objection and whose status under the Contract Documents
shall be that of the former Architect.

 

4.2.ARCHITECT'S ADMINISTRATION OF
THE CONTRACT

 

4.2.1.The Architect will provide administration of
the Contract to the extent provided in the Contract Documents. The Architect also will advise and consult with Owner on matters
related to the Work generally. The Architect will have authority to act on behalf of Owner only to the extent specifically provided
in the Contract Documents.

 

4.2.2.Owner shall cause the Architect to visit the
Project Site at intervals appropriate to the stage of Contractor's operations

(1) to become generally familiar with the
progress of the Work and the quality of the portion of the Work that has been completed, (2) to endeavor to guard 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 substantially in accordance with the Contract Documents. Owner will cause the Architect
to periodically report its findings to Owner and Contractor.

 

4.2.3.Communications by and with the Architect's
consultants shall be through the Architect. Communications by and with Subcontractors and material suppliers shall be through Contractor.
Communications by and with separate contractors shall be through Owner.

 

4.2.4.If requested by Owner, the Architect will review
and approve or take other appropriate action upon 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 Owner, Contractor or separate contractors. The Architect's review of Contractor's submittals shall not relieve Contractor of
its obligations. 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.

 

4.2.5.The Architect will make recommendations concerning
performance under, and requirements of, the Contract Documents on written request of either 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. Such
interpretations shall not be binding on either Owner or Contractor unless such party otherwise agrees.

 

4.2.6.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 decisions, the Architect will endeavor to secure faithful performance by both
Owner and Contractor and will not show partiality to either Owner or Contractor.

 

4.3.CLAIMS AND DISPUTES

 

4.3.1.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, extension
of time or other relief with respect to the terms of the Contract. "Claim" also includes other disputes and matters in
question between Owner and Contractor arising out of or relating to the Contract. Claims must be initiated by written notice. The
notice shall provide sufficient detail to enable the other party to investigate the matter and evaluate the related Claim. The
responsibility to substantiate Claims shall rest with the party making the Claim.

 

    	- 6 -

    	 

    

  

4.3.2.Claims by Contractor for extension of the Contract
Time must be initiated in a writing to the Owner within 21 days after occurrence of the event giving rise to such Claim or within
21 days after Contractor first recognizes the condition giving rise to the Claim and its effect on the Work, whichever is later.
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.

 

4.3.3.If Contractor wishes to make a Claim for an
increase in the Contract Sum due to a change in the Work, written notice as provided herein shall be given before proceeding to
execute the Work in question; provided that prior notice is not required for Claims relating to an emergency endangering
safety or property (although notice shall thereafter be promptly provided to Owner). Other Claims for adjustment of the Contract
Sum shall be made by written notice given as provided herein within a reasonable time.

 

4.3.4.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 and had an adverse effect on the scheduled construction. All hurricanes will be deemed abnormal.

 

4.3.5.If conditions are encountered at the Project
Site which

(1) are subsurface or otherwise concealed
physical conditions that differ materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents or (2) unknown physical conditions of
an unusual nature that 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 such conditions are disturbed and in no event later than 21 days after first observance of such conditions.
The Owner will promptly investigate such conditions and, if they cause an increase or decrease in the Contractor's cost of, or

Time, or both. If the Owner determines that no change in the terms of the Contract is justified, the Owner shall so notify the
Contractor in writing, stating the reasons. Claims by either party in opposition to any such determination must be made within

the Work. In no event will a Change Order result in a decrease in the Contractor’s Fee.

 

7.2.3.Contractor will use its best efforts to minimize
the cost relating to any Change Order and will reprice if requested by Owner and possible under applicable subcontracts.

a Schedule of Values allocating the Contract Sum or guaranteed maximum cost (or the estimated Contract Sum if no fixed Contract
Sum or guaranteed maximum cost is stated) among the various components of the Work and allowances for Contractor’s profit
and overhead, in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Agreement. Contractor shall update the Schedule of Values from
time to time to reflect changes in costs and other circumstances that manifest themselves as the Work progresses, and such revisions
to the Schedule of Values will be subject to approval of Owner to the extent provided in the Contract. The Schedule of Values shall
be a guide for establishing amounts due Contractor to the extent provided in the Agreement, but except as otherwise specifically

shall be coordinated with the Schedule of Values.

 

9.2.2.With each Application for Payment, Contractor
shall submit payrolls, petty cash accounts, receipted invoices or invoices with check vouchers attached, or other similar evidence

requirements for the advance of draws under the Loan Documents that are within the control of Contractor and (2) subject to Subparagraph
9.2.3, waivers and releases of liens executed by Contractor and, beginning with the second Application for Payment, by its Subcontractors
and suppliers, current through the effective date of the preceding Application for Payment. The required form of Lien Waiver is
attached to the Agreement as Exhibit H.

 

9.2.3.In the event that, for good cause shown, Contractor
has not paid a Subcontractor or supplier, Contractor shall identify that Subcontractor or supplier and, in lieu of a waiver and
release of lien, provide Owner with a written explanation for non-payment, and in such event Owner may withhold 150% of the disputed
amount claimed by the Subcontractor or supplier but Owner shall not be deemed to have reason for withholding of the remainder of
the amount represented in the Application for Payment.

for payment for portions of the Work for which Contractor does not intend to pay to a Subcontractor or material supplier.

 

9.2.5.Payments shall be made on account of materials

(including for insurance and security) to protect Owner's interest against damage, theft or destruction or adverse claims therein.

 

9.2.6.Contractor warrants that title to all Work
will pass to Owner no later than the time of payment or incorporation into the Project, which ever is earlier. Contractor further

be free and clear of liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances in favor of Contractor, Subcontractors, material suppliers,
or other persons claiming through them, including any person making a claim by reason of having provided labor, materials and equipment
relating to the Work.

 

9.2.7.The submittal of an Application for Payment
will constitute a representation by Contractor to Owner that the Work has progressed to the point indicated, that the quality of
the Work is in substantial accordance with the Contract Documents and that Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified.
Such representations are without limitation of other representations or warranties contemplated by the Contract Documents.

 

9.3.DECISIONS TO WITHHOLD PAYMENT

 

9.3.1.Owner may withhold payment in whole or in part,
or based on subsequently discovered evidence, may reduce payments otherwise due, to such extent as may be appropriate to protect
Owner from loss for which Contractor is responsible because of:

 

.1defective Work not remedied;

 

.2any third party claim filed, unless security acceptable
to Owner is provided by Contractor or the claim is released as against the Project;

 

.3failure of Contractor to make payments to Subcontractors
or for labor, materials or equipment from sums advanced to Contractor pursuant to an Application for Payment;

for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum;

 

    	- 10 -

    	 

    

  

.5damage to Owner or another contractor for which
Contractor is responsible under the terms of the Contract; or

 

.6reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed
within the Contract Time, and that the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum would not be adequate to cover actual or liquidated damages
for the anticipated delay for which Contractor is responsible under the terms of the Contract.

withheld to the extent the reason for withholding payment, as provided above, is removed.

 

9.4.PROGRESS PAYMENTS

 

9.4.1.Owner will, within 10 days after receipt of

in a manner similar to that provided in Subparagraphs 9.4.2 and 9.4.3.

 

9.4.5.A progress payment, or partial or entire use
or occupancy of the Project by Owner, shall not constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents.

 

9.5.FAILURE OF PAYMENT

 

9.5.1.If Owner does not pay Contractor by the date
established in the Contract Documents the amount due in accordance with the Contract Documents (except amounts that Owner disputes
in good faith or that are delayed as a result of Contractor’s failure to satisfy the draw requirements under the Loan Documents
that are within Contractor’s control), then Contractor may, upon twenty days' written notice to Owner, stop the Work until
payment of the amount owing has been received. The Contract Time shall be extended appropriately and, if applicable, the Contract
Sum shall be increased by the amount of Contractor's reasonable costs of shut-down, delay and start- up.

 

9.6.SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION

 

9.6.1.Substantial Completion for the Work occurs
upon issuance of the last certificate of occupancy or other similar governmental approval for every building and all other components
of the Work for which a certificate of occupancy or other such approval is required, except any such certificate of occupancy or
other similar approval that cannot be obtained until completion of (1) portions of the Work that are dependent upon selections
by a person (including prospective tenants or purchasers) other than Contractor or (2) work that is not part of the Work. If no
certificate of occupancy or other similar approval is required for the Work, Substantial Completion occurs when the Work has reached
a stage that allows its use for its intended purpose (subject to completion of portions of the Work that are dependent upon selections
by a person (including prospective tenants or purchasers) other than Contractor) or permits others to execute subsequent portions
of the Project not included in the Work.

 

9.6.2.When Contractor considers that the Work, or
a portion thereof which Owner agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete, Contractor shall prepare and submit to 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 Contractor to complete all Work in substantial accordance with the Contract Documents. Upon receipt
of Contractor's list, Owner will make an inspection to determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially
complete and whether Contractor’s list of items yet to be done is complete. If Owner's inspection discloses any additional
item not yet completed, whether or not included on Contractor's list, Owner shall notify Contractor, and the item if legitimate
shall be added to Contractor’s list. All matters included on the Contractor’s list will be resolved to Owner’s
satisfaction within 90 days.

 

9.6.3.Substantial Completion shall establish transition
of responsibilities between Owner and Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance,
and shall fix commencement of the time within which Contractor shall finish all items on the list of required corrective action.
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 Contract Documents. Upon request of either Owner or Contractor, Owner and Contractor shall
jointly execute a statement confirming the date of Substantial Completion.

 

9.7.PARTIAL OCCUPANCY OR USE

 

9.7.1.Owner may occupy or use any completed portion
of the Work, provided such occupancy or use is allowed by public authorities having jurisdiction over the Work.

 

9.7.2.Immediately prior to such partial occupancy
or use, 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. In addition, Owner and Contractor shall set out in writing the responsibilities assigned
to each of them for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance.

 

9.7.3.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.

 

9.8.FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT

 

9.8.1.Upon receipt of written notice that the Work
is ready for final inspection and acceptance, Owner will promptly make such inspection and, if Owner finds the Work acceptable
under the Contract Documents, will promptly make final payment, subject to receipt of a final Application for Payment by Contractor
and Contractor's satisfaction of all other applicable conditions of the Contract Documents. Contractor's final Application for
Payment will constitute a representation as to all matters listed in Subparagraph 9.2.7 and a further representation that conditions
listed in Subparagraph 9.8.2 as precedent to Contractor's being entitled to final payment have been fulfilled.

 

    	- 11 -

    	 

    

  

9.8.2.Neither final payment nor any remaining retainage
shall become due until Contractor submits to the Owner (1) lien waivers as required by the Contract, (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 Owner, (3) consent of surety to final
payment, if any is required, (4) all warranties, operating manuals, records and similar materials that are required by the Contract
Documents (5) 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 required by the
Contract Documents and (6) all requirements under the Loan Documents with respect to any related draws that are within the control
of Contractor. If a Subcontractor or other person refuses to furnish a required release or waiver for any reason, including Contractor’s
contest of the amount owed to such Subcontractor or other person, Contractor may furnish a bond sufficient under applicable law
or, if no provision for bonding is made by applicable law, in the amount of 150% of the claim of such Subcontractor or other person,
in which case final payment shall be made in full or, alternatively, Contractor may agree to Owner’s withholding of an amount
of 150% of the claim of such Subcontractor or other person, in which case the remainder of the amount due shall be paid Contractor
and the retained amount shall be disbursed upon settlement of the claim. If such lien remains unsatisfied after payments are made,
Contractor shall refund to Owner all money that Owner may be compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including all costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees, to the extent the payments exceed amounts retained by Owner.

 

9.8.3.Acceptance of final payment by Contractor,
a Subcontractor or material supplier shall constitute a waiver of Claims by the payee, except (1) those Claims previously made
in writing and identified by that payee as unsettled at the time of payment and (2) Claims arising subsequent to final payment,
including those for any amounts due in connection with performance of Contractor’s obligations for corrective work.

utilities.

 

10.1.5.When use or storage of explosives or other
hazardous materials or equipment or unusual methods are necessary for execution of the Work, Contractor shall exercise utmost care
and carry on such activities under supervision of properly qualified personnel.

 

10.1.6.Contractor shall promptly remedy damage and
loss (other than damage or loss insured under insurance available to Owner) to property (including the Work) caused in whole or
in part by Contractor, a Subcontractor, a Sub-subcontractor, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or by anyone
for whose acts they may be liable, except damage or loss attributable to acts or omissions of Owner or anyone directly or indirectly
employed by it, or by anyone for whose acts Owner may be liable, but only to the extent attributable to the fault or negligence
of Contractor, a Subcontractor, a Sub- subcontractor, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, and only to the
extent manifested prior to Substantial Completion. The foregoing obligations of Contractor are in addition to Contractor's obligations
under other provisions of the Contract Documents. Nothing in this Subparagraph 10.1.6 is intended as an extension of Contractor’s
obligation for correction of defective Work.

 

10.1.7.Contractor shall designate a responsible member
of Contractor's organization at the Project Site whose duty shall be the prevention of accidents. This person shall be Contractor's
superintendent unless otherwise designated by Contractor in writing to Owner.

 

10.1.8.Contractor shall not load or permit any part
of the construction or Project Site to be loaded so as to endanger its safety.

 

10.2.HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

 

10.2.1.If reasonable precautions applied at minimal
additional cost will be inadequate to prevent foreseeable bodily injury or death to persons resulting from any material or substance
(including but not limited to asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) or other materials or substances that are classified as
hazardous, toxic or in a similar category under any federal, state or local law) encountered on the Project Site by Contractor,
Contractor shall, upon recognizing the condition, immediately stop Work in the affected area and report the condition to Owner
in writing.

 

10.2.2.Owner shall obtain the services of a licensed
laboratory to verify the presence or absence of any material or substance reported by Contractor pursuant to Subparagraph 10.2.1
and, in the event such material or substance is found to be present, to verify that it has been rendered harmless. Unless otherwise
required by the Contract Documents, Owner shall furnish in writing to Contractor the names and qualifications of persons who are
to perform tests verifying the presence or absence of such material or substance or who are to perform the task of removal or safe
containment of such material or substance. Contractor will promptly reply to Owner in writing stating whether or not it has objection
to the persons proposed by Owner. If Contractor has a reasonable objection to a person proposed by Owner, Owner shall propose another
to whom Contractor has no reasonable objection. When it has been confirmed that the suspected material or substance is not hazardous,
or when the material or substance has been rendered harmless, Work in the affected area shall resume. The Contract Time shall be
extended appropriately and the Contract Sum shall be increased in the amount of Contractor's reasonable additional costs of shut-down,
delay and start-up. In no case will Contractor be responsible for abatement of hazardous materials, except to the extent otherwise
specifically provided in the Contract Documents.

 

    	- 12 -

    	 

    

  

10.2.3.To the fullest extent permitted by law, Owner
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Contractor, Subcontractors and Sub-Subcontractors from and against claims, damages, losses
and expenses, including attorneys' fees, arising out of or resulting from performance of the Work in the area affected by material
or substance identified pursuant to Subparagraph 10.2.1 after completion of the testing required by Subparagraph 10.2.2 if in fact
the material or substance presents the risk of bodily injury, sickness, disease or death and has not been rendered harmless, provided
that such claim, damage, loss or expense is directly attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death, or to injury to
or destruction of tangible property (other than the Work itself) arising out of such materials or substances.

 

10.2.4.Owner shall not be
responsible under Subparagraph 10.2.2 or 10.2.3 for materials and substances brought to the Project Site by Contractor, a
Subcontractor or another for whom either of them is responsible, unless the material or substance is specifically called for
by the Contract Documents and is used in accordance with applicable law and requirements specified in the Contract Documents
(if any) and material data safety sheets for the product.

 

10.2.5.If Contractor is held liable for the cost
of remediation of a hazardous material or substance by reason of performing Work as required by, and in accordance with, the Contract
Documents, Owner shall indemnify Contractor for all reasonable cost and expense thereby actually incurred by Contractor.

 

10.3.EMERGENCIES

 

10.3.1.In an emergency affecting safety of persons
or property, Contractor shall act, at Contractor's discretion, to prevent threatened damage, injury or loss. Additional compensation
or extension of time claimed by Contractor on account of an emergency shall be determined as provided in Paragraph 4.3 and Article
7.

 

ARTICLE 11. INSURANCE AND BONDS

 

11.1.CONTRACTOR'S LIABILITY INSURANCE

 

11.1.1.Contractor shall maintain such insurance as
will protect Contractor from claims set forth below which may arise out of or result from Contractor's operations under the Contract
and for which Contractor may be legally liable, whether such operations be by Contractor or a Subcontractor, or by anyone directly
or indirectly employed by any of them, or by anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable:

 

.1claims under workers' compensation, disability
benefit and other similar employee benefit acts which are applicable to the Work to be performed;

 

.2claims for damages because of bodily injury, occupational
sickness or disease, or death of Contractor's employees;

 

.3claims for damages because of bodily injury, sickness,
disease or death of any person other than employees of Contractor or a Subcontractor or by anyone directly or indirectly employed
by any of them in connection with the Work;

 

.4claims for damages, other than to the Work itself,
because of injury to or destruction of tangible property, including loss of use resulting therefrom; and

 

.5claims for damages because of bodily injury, death
of a person or property damage arising out of ownership, maintenance or use of a motor vehicle. Such insurance need not cover acts
of terrorism, mold or microorganisms or completed operations to the extent that such coverage is not available on commercially
reasonable terms.

 

11.1.2.The insurance required by Subparagraph 11.1.1
shall be written for not less than limits of liability specified in the Contract Documents or required by law, whichever coverage
is greater. Coverages shall be written on an occurrence basis. All coverages shall be maintained without interruption from date
of commencement of the Work until date of final payment and any additional period specified by any Contract Document for coverage
required to be maintained after final payment.

 

11.1.3.Certificates of insurance shall be filed with
Owner prior to commencement of the Work. These certificates and the insurance policies required by this Paragraph 11.1 shall contain
a provision that coverages afforded under the policies will not be canceled or materially modified until at least 20 days' prior
written notice has been given to Owner. Information concerning reduction of coverage on account of revised limits shall be furnished
by Contractor with reasonable promptness in accordance with Contractor's information and belief.

 

11.2.OWNER'S LIABILITY INSURANCE

 

11.2.1.Owner shall be responsible for purchasing
and maintaining Owner's usual liability insurance.

 

11.3.PROPERTY INSURANCE

 

11.3.1.Unless otherwise provided herein, Owner shall
purchase and maintain property insurance written on a builder's risk or equivalent policy form in the amount of the initial estimated
cost of the Project (as provided in Owner’s development budget), plus the value of subsequent Contract modifications and
cost of materials supplied or installed by persons other than Contractor or its Subcontractors, comprising total value for the
entire Project on a replacement cost basis. Such property insurance shall be maintained, unless otherwise provided in the Contract
Documents or otherwise agreed in writing by all persons who are beneficiaries of such insurance, until final payment has been made
as provided in Paragraph

9.8 or until no person other than Owner
has an insurable interest in the property required by this Subparagraph 11.3.1 to be covered, whichever is later.

 

11.3.2.Property insurance shall be on an "all-risk"
or “special form of loss” basis or equivalent policy form and shall include, without limitation, insurance against
the perils of fire (with extended coverage) and physical loss or damage, including, without duplication of coverage, theft, vandalism,
malicious mischief, collapse, earthquake, flood, windstorm, falsework, testing and startup, temporary buildings and debris removal,
including demolition occasioned by enforcement of any applicable legal requirements. Property insurance need not cover acts of
terrorism or mold or microorganisms to the extent that such coverage is not available on commercially reasonable terms.

 

11.3.3.If Owner does not intend to purchase such
property insurance required by the Contract with all of the coverages in the amount described above, Owner shall so inform Contractor
in writing prior to commencement of the Work. Contractor may then effect insurance which will protect the interests of Contractor,
Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors in the Work, and by appropriate Change Order the cost thereof shall be charged to Owner.
If such additional coverage is not available to Contractor on commercially reasonable terms, Owner shall bear all costs properly
attributable to any uninsured loss. If Contractor is damaged by the failure or neglect of Owner to purchase or maintain insurance
as described above, without so notifying Contractor in writing, then Owner shall bear all costs properly attributable thereto.

 

    	- 13 -

    	 

    

  

11.3.4.If the property insurance includes deductibles,
Owner shall pay costs not covered because of such deductibles, regardless of whether the insurance is maintained by Owner or by
Contractor.

 

11.3.5.Owner's property insurance shall cover portions
of the Work stored off the Project Site, and also portions of the Work in transit.

 

11.3.6.Partial occupancy or use in accordance with
Paragraph

9.7 shall not commence until the insurance
company or companies providing property insurance have consented to such partial occupancy or use by endorsement or otherwise.
Owner and Contractor shall obtain consent of the insurance company or companies and shall, without such consent, take no action
with respect to partial occupancy or use that would cause cancellation, lapse or reduction of insurance.

 

11.3.7.If such components are part of the Work, Owner
shall purchase and maintain boiler and machinery insurance in amounts required by the Contract Documents or by law, which shall
specifically cover such insured objects during installation and until final acceptance by Owner.

 

11.3.8.
Owner, at Owner's option, may purchase and maintain such insurance as will insure Owner against loss of use of Owner's property
due to fire or other hazards. In no case will Contractor be liable for loss of use of Owner’s property as a result of any
casualty, whether or not the fault of Contractor or another person for whom it is responsible. SUCH LIMITATIONS SPECIFICALLY
EXTEND TO LOSS RESULTING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF CONTRACTOR OR ANOTHER PERSON FOR WHOM IT IS RESPONSIBLE OR MATTERS FOR WHICH CONTRACTOR
OR ANY SUCH OTHER PERSON MAY HAVE STRICT LIABILITY. Nothing in this Subparagraph 11.3.8 affects limitations on liability
provided by other provisions of the Contract.

 

11.3.9.Owner shall file with Contractor certificates
of insurance for the coverages required by this Paragraph 11.3. These certificates and the insurance policies required by this
Paragraph 11.3 shall contain a provision that coverages afforded under the policies will not be canceled or materially modified
until at least 20 days' prior written notice has been given to Contractor. Information concerning reduction of coverage on account
of revised limits shall be furnished by Owner with reasonable promptness in accordance with Owner's information and belief.

 

11.3.10.A loss insured under Owner's property insurance
shall be adjusted by Owner as fiduciary and made payable to Owner as fiduciary for Owner and Contractor, as their interests may
appear, subject to requirements of any applicable mortgagee. Contractor shall pay Subcontractors their just shares of insurance
proceeds received by Contractor, and by appropriate agreements, written where legally required for validity, shall require Subcontractors
to make payments to their Sub- subcontractors in similar manner.

 

11.3.11.Subject to the terms of the Loan Documents,
Owner shall deposit in a separate account insurance proceeds from any covered loss received by Owner, which Owner shall distribute
in accordance with such agreement as the parties in interest may reach, or in accordance with an arbitration award obtained as
provided in Paragraph 4.4. If after such loss no other special agreement is made, replacement of damaged property shall be performed
by Contractor and, if requested by Contractor, a Change Order shall be executed confirming the terms of such Work and any applicable
change in the Contract Sum or Contract Time. Contractor shall be entitled to additional allowance for overhead and profit, in customary
amounts, for any additional Work required to repair or replace damaged property.

 

11.3.12.Owner is not responsible for any loss, theft
or damage to equipment, tools or other personal property of Contractor, a Subcontractor or a Sub-subcontractor or any employee
of any of them, regardless of cause. Contractor shall insure against such loss, theft or damage to the extent it deems appropriate,
and Contractor shall require all Subcontractors and Sub- subcontractors to obtain similar insurance if they deem it appropriate.
All such insurance shall include, by endorsement or otherwise, waivers of subrogation benefitting Owner. Contractor waives all
claims against Owner for any such loss, theft or damage, and Contractor shall obtain similar waivers from all Subcontractors and
Sub-subcontractors.

 

11.3.13.  Contractor and Owner
each waives all claims against the other party for any loss, damage, claims, liability, costs or expenses (including attorney's
fees) arising out of or related to the Work to the extent that the same is recoverable under insurance coverage available to the
party providing the waiver; provided that nothing in this Subparagraph 11.3.13 affects any party’s rights to insurance
proceeds or a party’s obligations or responsibilities in respect thereof. SUCH LIMITATIONS SPECIFICALLY EXTEND TO
LOSS RESULTING FROM NEGLIGENCE OR MATTERS FOR WHICH STRICT LIABILITY MAY EXIST. Contractor and Owner each shall require
their respective insurers to include in all insurance carried by them (whether or not related to the Work and regardless of whether
in place during performance of the Work or after the Work’s completion), by endorsement or otherwise, waivers of subrogation
benefitting the other party with respect to all loss, damage, claims, liability, costs or expenses to which this Subparagraph
11.3.13 applies. This Subparagraph 11.3.13 will be effective even though liability may be imposed for such loss, damage, claims,
liability, costs or expenses by other provisions of the Contract. Nothing in this Subparagraph

11.3.13 affects limitations on liability
provided by other provisions of the Contract.

 

11.3.14.The waivers in Subparagraph 11.3.13 will
benefit Subcontractors, Sub-Subcontractors or suppliers, but only if specifically provided in the agreement between Contractor
and the relevant Subcontractor, Sub-Subcontractor or supplier. Owner, on request of Contractor, will evidence in writing the extension
of the benefits of Subparagraph 11.3.13 to a Subcontractor, Sub-Subcontractor or supplier and will secure waivers of subrogation
from its insurers benefitting such Subcontractor, Sub-Subcontractor or supplier as required by Subparagraph 11.3.13.

 

11.4.PERFORMANCE BOND AND PAYMENT
BOND

 

11.4.1.Contractor shall not be required to provide
a performance bond or a payment bond.

 

11.4.2.Contractor may require Subcontractors, Sub-
Subcontractors, suppliers or others involved in the Work to provide performance bonds and payment bonds. Contractor will use its
best efforts to do so if requested by Owner for a given Subcontractor, Sub-Subcontractor, supplier or other person involved in
the Work. Inability to obtain a payment or performance bond will not be basis for the disqualification of any Subcontractor, Sub-Subcontractor,
supplier or other person involved in the Work.

 

11.4.3.If any performance bond or payment bond is
required of any Subcontractor, Sub-Subcontractor, supplier or other person involved in the Work at the request of Owner, cost of
such performance bond or payment bond shall be added by Change Order to the Contract Sum if the Contract Sum is a fixed price or
subject to a guaranteed maximum cost. Such costs shall not be counted in determining Contractor’s share of cost savings,
if any, provided for in the Contract.

ARTICLE 12. UNCOVERING
AND CORRECTION OF WORK

 

12.1.UNCOVERING OF WORK

 

12.1.1.If a portion of the Work is covered contrary
to Owner's request or to requirements specifically expressed in the Contract Documents, it must, if required in writing by Owner,
be uncovered for examination and be replaced at Contractor's expense without change in the Contract Time.

 

12.1.2.If a portion of the Work has been covered
which Owner has not specifically requested to examine prior to its being covered and which the Contract Documents do not prohibit,
Owner may request to see such Work and it shall be uncovered by Contractor. If such Work is in substantial accordance with the
Contract Documents, costs of uncovering and replacement shall, by appropriate Change Order, be at Owner's expense. If such Work
is not in substantial accordance with the Contract Documents, costs of uncovering and replacement shall be at Contractor's expense,
subject to reimbursement if allowed by the Contract.

 

12.2.CORRECTION OF WORK

 

12.2.1.Contractor shall be obligated, to correct
Work that is defective (within the meaning of Subparagraph 3.5.1), whether discovered before or after Substantial Completion and
whether or not fabricated, installed or completed, but only to the extent required under the terms of Paragraph 3.5. Unless the
Contract Sum is determined based on a fixed price, costs of correcting defective Work, including additional testing and inspections
and compensation for additional architectural, engineering and other design services and expenses made necessary thereby, shall
be reimbursable by Owner as a cost of the Work, subject to any limitation for a guaranteed maximum cost imposed by the Agreement.
If Contractor has participated in savings under the Contract, a payment under this Subparagraph 12.2.1 will be appropriately adjusted
to reflect the reduction of the savings resulting from the payment.

 

12.2.2.Owner shall give such notice promptly after
discovery of any defective Work. If Owner fails to notify Contractor within 30 days after identifying any defective Work and give
Contractor a reasonable opportunity to make correction, Owner waives the rights to require correction by Contractor and to make
a claim for breach of warranty. If Contractor fails to correct defective or nonconforming Work within a reasonable time after receipt
of notice from Owner, Owner may correct it and seek recovery if allowed by Paragraph 3.5.

 

12.2.3.Contractor shall remove from the Project Site
portions of the Work which are not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents and are neither corrected by Contractor
nor accepted by Owner. Nothing in this Subparagraph 12.2.3 has the effect of extending any warranty obligations of Contractor beyond
the periods otherwise provided in the Contract.

 

12.2.4.Contractor shall bear the cost of correcting
destroyed or damaged construction, whether completed or partially completed, of Owner or separate contractors caused by Contractor's
correction or removal of Work in connection with Contractor’s warranty obligations under the Contract, subject to reimbursement
if allowed by Subparagraph 12.2.1.

 

12.2.5.If Owner prefers to accept Work which is defective
or otherwise not in substantial accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, Owner may do so instead of requiring
its removal and correction, in which case the Contract Sum will be reduced as appropriate and equitable if, under the terms of
the Contract, Contractor otherwise would be liable (without right of reimbursement) for the cost of the corrective action. Such
adjustment shall be effected whether or not final payment has been made.

 

ARTICLE 13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

13.1.GOVERNING LAW

 

13.1.1.The Contract shall be governed by the law
of the place where the Project Site is located.

party attempts to make such an assignment without such consent, that party shall nevertheless remain legally responsible for all
obligations under the Contract.

 

13.2.2.Owner may, without consent of Contractor,
assign the Contract to any lender providing financing for the Project. In such event, the lender may but need not assume Owner's
rights and obligations under the Contract Documents. Contractor shall execute all consents reasonably required to facilitate such
assignment.

 

13.3.RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

 

13.3.1.Except as otherwise provided in the Contract
Documents, duties and obligations imposed by the Contract Documents and rights and remedies available thereunder shall be in addition
to and not a limitation of duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available by law.

 

13.3.2.No action or failure to act by Owner or Contractor
shall constitute a waiver of a right or duty afforded them under the Contract, nor shall such action or failure to act constitute
approval of or acquiescence in a breach thereunder, except as may be specifically agreed in writing or specifically set forth in
the Contract Documents.

 

13.4.TESTS AND INSPECTIONS

 

13.4.1.Tests, inspections and approvals of portions
of the Work required by the Contract Documents or by laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of public authorities having
jurisdiction shall be made at an appropriate time as required by the Contract Documents or applicable laws. Unless otherwise provided,
Contractor shall make arrangements for such tests, inspections and approvals with an independent testing laboratory acceptable
to Owner, or with the appropriate public authority. Owner shall bear all related costs of tests, inspections and approvals, except
as provided in Subparagraph

13.4.3. Contractor shall give Owner timely
notice (of at least 48 hours) of when and where tests and inspections are to be made so that Owner may be present for such procedures.

 

13.4.2.If Owner or public authorities having jurisdiction
determine that portions of the Work require additional testing, inspection or approval not included under Subparagraph 13.4.1,
Contractor will make arrangements for such additional testing, inspection or approval by a person acceptable to Owner, and Contractor
shall give timely notice to Owner of when and where tests and inspections are to be made so that Owner may be present for such
procedures. Such costs, except as provided in Subparagraph 13.4.3, shall be at Owner's expense.

 

    	- 15 -

    	 

    

  

13.4.3.If testing, inspection or approval
under Subparagraphs 13.4.1 and 13.4.2 reveal defects in the Work or failure of the Work to comply with requirements
established by the Contract Documents, all costs of repeated testing, inspection or approval made necessary by such failure
shall be at Contractor's expense, subject to reimbursement as a cost of the Work unless the Contract Sum is determined based
on a fixed price or reimbursement is not allowed by other provisions of the Contract.

 

13.4.4.Required certificates of testing, inspection
or approval shall, unless otherwise required by the Contract Documents, be secured by Contractor and promptly delivered to Owner.

 

13.4.5.Tests or inspections conducted pursuant to
the Contract Documents shall be made promptly to avoid unreasonable delay in the Work.

 

13.5.INTEREST

 

13.5.1.Provided that Contractor has satisfied all
of the conditions to payment under the Contract Documents, payments due and unpaid under the Contract Documents shall bear interest
from the date that is 10 days after payment is due at such rate as the parties may agree upon in writing or, in the absence thereof,
at the prime interest rate quoted for money center banks in The Wall Street Journal (as such rate changes from time to time)
plus 5% per annum or, if less, the maximum rate allowed by law.

 

13.6.COMMENCEMENT OF STATUTORY LIMITATION
PERIOD

 

13.6.1.As between Owner and Contractor:

 

.1as to acts or failures to act occurring prior to
the relevant date of Substantial Completion, any applicable statute of limitations shall commence to run and any alleged cause
of action shall be deemed to have accrued in any and all events not later than such date of Substantial Completion;

and

 

.3as to acts or failures to act occurring after final
payment, any applicable statute of limitations shall commence to run and any alleged cause of action shall be deemed to have accrued
in any and all events not later than the date of actual commission of any other act or failure to perform any duty or obligation
by Contractor or Owner.

 

13.7.ACCOUNTING RECORDS

 

13.7.1.The Contractor shall keep full and detailed
accounts and exercise such controls as may be necessary for proper financial management under this Contract. The Owner and the
Owner's accountants shall be afforded access to, and shall be permitted to audit and copy, the Contractor's records, books, correspondence,
instructions, drawings, receipts, subcontracts, purchase orders, vouchers, memoranda and other data relating to this Contract,
and the Contractor shall preserve these for a period of three years after final payment, or for such longer period as may be required
by law. If any such audit shall disclose any overpayment by Owner to Contractor, written notice of such overpayment shall be provided
to Contractor and the amount of such overpayment shall be promptly reimbursed by Contractor to Owner together with interest at
the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) plus one percent (1%) from the date of overpayment by Owner until the
date repaid by Contractor. This Section 13.7 shall survive any termination of the Contract.

 

ARTICLE 14. TERMINATION

 

14.1.TERMINATION BY CONTRACTOR

 

14.1.1.Contractor may terminate the Contract (as
provided in Subparagraph 14.1.3) if the Work is stopped for a period of 90 consecutive days through no act or fault of Contractor,
a Subcontractor or a Sub-subcontractor or their agents or employees or any other persons performing portions of the Work under
direct or indirect contract with Contractor, for any of the following reasons:

 

.1issuance of an order of a court or other public
authority having jurisdiction which requires all Work to be stopped;

 

.2an act of government, such as a declaration of
national emergency which requires all Work to be stopped; or

 

.3because Owner has not made payment and has not
notified Contractor in good faith of the reason for withholding payment as provided in Subparagraph 9.4.1 within the time stated
in the Contract Documents.

 

14.1.2.Contractor may terminate the Contract if,
through no act or fault of Contractor, a Subcontractor or a Sub-subcontractor or their agents or employees or any other persons
performing portions of the Work under direct or indirect contract with Contractor, repeated suspensions, delays or interruptions
of the entire Work by Owner, or Owner’s failure to fulfill Owner's obligations under the Contract Documents with respect
to matters important to the progress of the Work, constitute in the aggregate more than 90 days.

 

14.1.3.If one of the reasons described in Subparagraph
14.1.1 or 14.1.2 exists, Contractor may, by written notice to Owner, terminate the Contract and recover from Owner payment for
Work executed, plus a prorated share of Contractor's Fee (or, if a least 50% of the Work has been completed all of Contractor's
Fee, whether or not otherwise earned), together with any loss with respect to materials, equipment, tools, and construction equipment
and machinery or termination of commitments for materials, supplies, equipment, machinery or other like items.

 

14.1.4.Without limiting other provisions of the Contract,
if Contractor suspends performance for any of the reasons identified in Subparagraph 14.1.1 or 14.1.2 or in accordance with another
provision of the Contract, upon recommencing the Work, Contractor will be entitled to an equitable adjustment of the Contract Sum
and the Contract Time in order to reflect the cost and delay of shut down, suspension and start-up.

 

14.1.5.Before exercising any termination right under
Subparagraph 14.1.1.1 or 14.1.1.2, Contractor shall give Owner notice of its intent to terminate and the specific cause or causes
on which termination would be based. Owner shall then be entitled to cure within 30 days after its receipt of the written notice
or, if cure within such 30-day period is not reasonably possible, such longer period as may be required so long as Owner diligently
initiates and pursues curative action. Contractor shall not have the right to terminate if cure is effected within such period.

 

14.2.TERMINATION BY OWNER FOR CAUSE

Fee on the Work not executed.

 

14.2.2.Before exercising any termination right under
Subparagraph 14.2.1, Owner shall give Contractor notice of its intent to terminate and the specific cause or causes on which termination
would be based. Contractor shall then be entitled to cure within 30 days after its receipt of the written notice or, if cure within
such 30-day period is not reasonably possible, such longer period as may be required so long as Contractor diligently initiates
and pursues curative action. Owner shall not have the right to terminate if cure is effected within such period.

 

14.2.3.When there exists any of the reasons for termination
as provided in this Paragraph 14.2, after expiration of the applicable cure period, Owner may, without prejudice to any other rights
or remedies of Owner, by giving Contractor and Contractor's surety, if any, written notice, terminate employment of Contractor.

materials, equipment, tools, and construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by Contractor for use in completion of the
Work;

 

.2accept assignment of subcontracts pursuant to Subparagraph
5.4.1; and

of the reasons stated in Subparagraph 14.2.1, Contractor shall not be entitled to receive further payment of any amounts otherwise
due under the Contract Documents notwithstanding such termination until the Work is finished.

 

14.2.5.If the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum
exceeds costs of finishing the Work, including compensation for the additional architectural, engineering and similar services
made necessary thereby, such excess shall be paid to Contractor. If such costs and damages exceed the unpaid balance, Contractor
shall pay the difference to Owner. The obligation for the amount to be paid to Contractor or Owner, as the case may be, shall survive
termination of the Contract.
