1.2Interpretation.
		
	1.2.1
	The definition of any term herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of such term. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise: (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified; (b) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such person’s permitted successors and assigns and, in the case of Governmental Authorities, persons succeeding to such Governmental Authorities’ respective functions and capacities; (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall, with respect to the Contract Document in which such reference is found, be construed to refer to such Contract Document in its entirety and not to any particular provision of such Contract Document; and (d) all references herein to Articles, Sections, Schedules, and Schedules in a Contract Document shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Schedules and Schedules to, such Contract Document. The captions contained in the Contract Documents are for convenience and reference only and in no way define, describe, extend or limit the scope or intent of the Contract Documents or the intent of any provision contained herein.

		
	1.2.2
	The terms “knowledge,” “recognize,” and “discover,” their respective derivatives, and similar terms in the Contract Documents, as used in reference to Contractor, shall mean (unless otherwise expressly stated) that which Contractor knows, recognizes or discovers in exercising the Standard of Care. Analogously, the expression “reasonably inferable” and similar terms in the Contract Documents shall be interpreted to mean reasonably inferable by a contractor exercising the Standard of Care. When the word “provide,” including derivatives, is used, it shall mean to fabricate properly, complete transport, deliver, install, erect, construct, test, and furnish all labor, materials, equipment, apparatus, appurtenances, and all other items necessary to properly complete in place, ready for operations or use under the terms of the Construction Documents.

1.3Correlation and Intent of Contract Documents.
		
	1.3.1
	The Contract Documents represent the entire and integrated agreement between Contractor and MSG hereto and supersede all prior negotiations, representations or agreements, either written or oral. The Contract Documents shall not be construed to create a contractual relationship of any kind: (a) between Contractor and Architect or Architect’s consultants; (b) between Contractor and Project Manager; (c) between MSG and a Subcontractor or a sub-subcontractor (except as provided for in Section 11.4.1.19); or (d) between any Persons other than MSG and Contractor.

		
	1.3.2
	The Contract Documents are complementary and are intended to include all items necessary for the execution and performance of the Work by Contractor. Contractor shall perform all Work indicated in or reasonably inferable from and consistent with the Contract Documents for the proper execution and completion of the Work. In all instances where Contractor discovers any inconsistency in the quality or quantity of Work required under the Contract Documents, before Contractor executes the Work, Contractor shall promptly bring such inconsistency to the attention of MSG and Project Manager (and which inconsistency shall be resolved in accordance with the order of precedence set forth in Section 1.3.5).

		
	1.3.3
	The Specifications are separated into titled sections for convenience only and shall not control Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or in establishing the extent of Work to be performed by any trade. No responsibility is assumed by MSG, Architect or Project Manager for defining the limits of any Subcontractor’s work or the work of any trade by reason of the 

11

arrangement of the Specifications or the Drawings. Such separation shall not relieve Contractor from the responsibility for the satisfactory coordination and completion of the entire Work.
		
	1.3.4
	Whenever a product is specified in accordance with a Federal Specification, an ASTM Standard, an American National Standards Institute Specification, or other similar standard, Contractor shall present an affidavit from the manufacturer, when requested by MSG or required in the Specifications, certifying that the product complies with the particular standard or specification in effect on the date of execution of the Incentive Benchmark Amendment. When requested by MSG or specified, supporting test data shall be submitted to substantiate compliance.

		
	1.3.5
	Notwithstanding any incorporations by reference, to the extent of any direct conflict or inconsistency between any of the Contract Documents, Contractor shall proceed with the Work and give precedence to the Contract Documents in the following order of priority:

		
	1.3.5.1
	Written modifications/amendments to this Agreement signed by both MSG and Contractor (including Change Orders, the Incentive Benchmark Amendment and Schedules thereto) and Construction Change Directives issued by MSG in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with subsequently dated items controlling over earlier dated items;

		
	1.3.5.2
	The Agreement;

		
	1.3.5.3
	The Drawings and Specifications; and

		
	1.3.5.4
	All Schedules to the Agreement;

provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Contract Document to the contrary: (a) the Incentive Benchmark Qualifications and Assumptions may not modify or contradict any terms or conditions set forth in the Agreement relating to warranties, insurance requirements, indemnities, or any other terms or conditions of the Agreement relating to Contractor’s obligation to correct Defective Work; and (b) to the extent any provision of the Incentive Benchmark Qualifications and Assumptions purports to modify or contradict any such terms or conditions, the terms or conditions of the Agreement, as applicable, without application of such provision of the Incentive Benchmark Qualifications and Assumptions, shall control.
		
	1.3.6
	Except to the extent set forth in the Incentive Benchmark Qualifications and Assumptions, and irrespective of the document priorities elsewhere in the Contract Documents, in the event the Drawings disagree in themselves or with the Specifications, the Contractor shall, unless otherwise directed in writing by MSG, perform to the extent reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents, as a whole, as being necessary to conform to the Contract Documents to provide the greater or higher level of quality of material, equipment or Work specified in the Contract Documents.

		
	1.3.7
	Notwithstanding the above, figured dimensions on the Drawings shall take precedence over scaled dimensions, and large-scale Drawings shall take precedence over small-scale Drawings. All indications or notations which apply to one or a number of substantially identical situations, materials, or processes shall be deemed to apply to all such situations, materials or processes wherever they appear in the Work, except where a contrary result is clearly stated in the Contract Documents. Work for which no explicit quality or standards of materials and/or workmanship is defined in the Contract Documents shall be of good quality for the intended use, and consistent with the quality of surrounding work and of the construction of the Project generally. All manufactured articles, materials and equipment shall be applied, installed, connected, erected, 

12

used, cleaned, and conditioned in accordance with the manufacturers’ written instructions, unless specifically stated otherwise in the Contract Documents.
		
	1.3.8
	The Drawings are generally made to scale, but all working dimensions shall be taken from the figured dimensions, or by actual measurements taken at the job, and not by scaling the Drawings. Whether or not an error is believed to exist, material deviation from the Drawings and the dimensions given thereon shall be made only after approval in writing from Architect. Where the Work is to fit with existing conditions or work to be performed by others, Contractor shall fully and completely coordinate and join the Work with such conditions or work, unless otherwise specified.

		
	1.3.9
	Contractor acknowledges and agrees that its obligations and liabilities under the Contract Documents, remain unaffected and it will bear and continue to bear full liability and responsibility for:

		
	1.3.9.1
	the performance of the Work in accordance with this Agreement;

		
	1.3.9.2
	all construction means, methods or proposed methods of work, techniques, equipment and labor levels, procedures, safety and other matters employed or to be employed by Contractor in the performance of the Work, unless the Contract Documents give other specific instructions concerning these matters; provided, however that it shall be incumbent on the Contractor to review and verify the suitability of the instructions therein; and

		
	1.3.9.3
	any errors or omissions in, or other non-compliances with this Agreement of, any documents or other information submitted by Contractor,

notwithstanding:
		
	1.3.9.4
	any receipt, vetting or review of, or comment on, or consent to, or permission in connection with, or rejection, non-rejection or approval of, or expression of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with:

		
	1.3.9.4.1
	any documents or other information provided by Contractor; or

		
	1.3.9.4.2
	any submission, proposal, plan, request or recommendation by Contractor,

by MSG, Project Manager or Architect; or
		
	1.3.9.5
	any failure by MSG, Project Manager or Architect to identify an error or omission in, or other non-compliance with this Agreement of:

		
	1.3.9.5.1
	any document or other information provided by Contractor; or

		
	1.3.9.5.2
	any submission, proposal, plan, request or recommendation by Contractor.

	MSG may hire a “Clerk of Works” who shall perform the role of an inspector and assessor of the performance of the Work throughout the term of this Agreement. The Clerk of Works shall be engaged by MSG and shall be a daily on-site representative of MSG. The Clerk of Works shall, among other activities, inspect the workmanship, quality and safety of the Work, monitor headcount and worker activity and inspect headcount records and may raise with Contractor these and other aspects of the performance of the Work. The Clerk of Works shall not give instructions or directions to Contractor, other than through MSG or Project Manager.

2.3Information and Services Required of MSG.
		
	2.3.1
	MSG shall furnish to Contractor within fifteen (15) Days after receipt of a written request, information necessary and relevant for Contractor to evaluate, give notice of or enforce mechanic’s lien rights. Such information shall include a correct statement of the record legal title to the property on which the Project is located, usually referred to as the “Site”, and MSG’s interest therein.

		
	2.3.2
	Upon written request of Contractor, MSG shall furnish surveys describing the physical characteristics, legal limitations and utility locations for the Site, and a legal description of the Site, all to the extent necessary for proper performance of the Work.

		
	2.3.3
	Upon written request of Contractor, information under MSG’s control, and reasonably required for proper performance of the Work, shall be furnished by MSG with reasonable promptness to avoid delay in the orderly progress of the Work.

		
	2.3.4
	Contractor is entitled to reasonably rely upon the accuracy and completeness of any information furnished by MSG to Contractor. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, Contractor shall review and analyze such information and, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such information, notify MSG of any errors, omissions, ambiguities, inconsistencies, discrepancies or areas of concern within such information that are discovered by Contractor. Contractor waives any right to recover as a Cost of the Work, or to request an adjustment to the Substantial Completion Date or the Incentive Benchmark, from any such discovered error, inconsistency, discrepancy or area of concern not notified in accordance with this Section 2.3.4, except to the extent Contractor can demonstrate that such loss, damage or schedule or cost impact could not have been avoided if Contractor had notified MSG as required under this Section 2.3.4. Contractor shall incorporate the necessary elements of information furnished by MSG into the Work. It is understood that Contractor’s review of information furnished by MSG pursuant to this Section 2.3.4 is in the capacity of a contractor and not a design professional.

2.4MSG’s Right to Stop the Work.
		
	2.4.1
	If Contractor fails to correct defective Work as required by Article 19, fails to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, or fails to comply with the Contract Documents, and in each case fails to promptly cure any such failure within ten (10) Business Days after written notice to the Contractor (or if such failure cannot be cured within ten (10) Business Days, the Contractor has commenced to cure and is diligently continuing to cure), MSG, by a written order signed by MSG, may order Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; provided, however, that this right of MSG to stop the Work shall not give rise to any duty on the part of MSG to exercise this right for the benefit of Contractor or any other Person. MSG’s exercise of its right to stop the Work shall not give rise to an entitlement of Contractor to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 18.3.2. MSG’s exercise of its right 

15

to stop the Work shall not relieve Contractor of any of its responsibilities and obligations under or pursuant to the Contract Documents and Contractor shall not be entitled to recover any costs incurred as a Cost of the Work, or receive an adjustment to the Incentive Benchmark or an adjustment to the Substantial Completion Date, as a result thereof.
2.5MSG’s Right to Carry Out the Work.
		
	2.5.1
	If Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, and fails within ten (10) Business Days after written notice from MSG or Project Manager to cure (or if such default or neglect cannot be cured within ten (10) Business Days, Contractor has failed to commence and continue correction of such default or neglect with diligence and promptness), MSG may, after such ten (10) Business Day period, and without prejudice to any other remedy, perform and/or complete such correction itself or through others. In such case, MSG shall be entitled to recover the costs of such correction from the Contractor as a reimbursement or as a set off against amounts to be paid to Contractor.

2.6General Role of Project Manager.
		
	2.6.1
	MSG has retained Project Manager to provide project management and various contract administration services in connection with the development of the Project pursuant to separate agreements.

	2.6.2
	MSG and Contractor shall generally communicate with each other through MSG’s Project Manager about matters arising out of or relating to the Project. Project Manager shall provide Contractor with instructions relating to Contractor’s performance of the Work; provided, however, that any such instructions shall be in writing and shall be simultaneously delivered to MSG and, to the extent necessary, to Architect. MSG is not liable to, and has no obligation to pay Contractor in connection with any Construction Change Directive or Change Order that is not signed by MSG in advance of the change in the Work being performed, except that, Contractor shall be paid its reasonable costs for a change in the Work performed on an emergency basis provided that the emergency was not caused by the Contractor and the change in the Work was required to be performed on an expedited basis.

	2.8.10
	Project Manager, in consultation with Architect and MSG, will have authority to reject Work that does not conform to the Contract Documents to require special inspection or testing and to reject Work that does not conform to the Contract Documents. Whenever, in Project Manager’s opinion, it is considered necessary or advisable for the implementation of the intent of the Contract Documents, Project Manager will have authority to require special inspection or testing of the Work in accordance with Section 3.23 whether or not such Work be then fabricated, installed or completed. However, neither Project Manager’s authority to act under this Section 2.8.10, nor any decision made by Project Manager in good faith either to exercise or not to exercise such authority shall give rise to any duty or responsibility of MSG or Project Manager to Contractor, any Subcontractor, any of their agents or employees, or any other Person performing any of the Work.

		
	2.8.11
	Project Manager will receive from Contractor and review all Submittals, and coordinate them with information contained in related documents.

If required by a Lender, Contractor shall enter into an agreement allowing, among other things, the Lender to step in and take over MSG’s role under this Agreement in the event of an event of default specified in Section 18.3. Contractor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all further documents which may be necessary to satisfy the reasonable requests of one or more Lenders in connection with the financing or refinancing of the Project. For clarification, a reasonable request 

18

shall be one that does not increase Contractor’s risk or liability under the Contract Documents. In addition, the Contractor will work with the Lender and MSG in good faith to convert the cost of performing the Work, or components thereof, into a fixed price if so requested by the Lender.
ARTICLE 3
CONTRACTOR’S GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES

3.1Standard of Care; Applicable Laws.
		
	3.1.1
	Contractor accepts the relationship of trust and confidence established under this Agreement. Contractor shall furnish efficient business administration and supervision so as to complete the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. In addition to Contractor’s other obligations under the Contract Documents, all Work and other professional services performed by Contractor in connection with the Project shall be performed in accordance with the Standard of Care.

		
	3.1.2
	Contractor shall perform the Work in accordance with Applicable Laws. If Contractor performs any Work that is contrary to any Applicable Laws, then Contractor shall assume full responsibility therefor and shall bear all costs attributable thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor shall not be responsible for the cost of corrections or additions to the Work that are required because the design of the Work as set forth in the Contract Documents violates Applicable Laws, unless Contractor knows that such design was contrary to Applicable Laws and Contractor fails to notify MSG of the same (in which case, Contractor shall be liable for the costs that could have been avoided had it notified MSG). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of any change in any Applicable Law that occurs after the date the Incentive Benchmark Amendment is executed by the Parties and results in increased cost or time of performance of the Work, the Incentive Benchmark and/or the Substantial Completion Date shall be equitably adjusted by Change Order (provided that the Contractor complies with the requirements of Article 6) and Contractor may seek to recover such additional cost as a Cost of the Work.

		
	3.1.3
	Contractor shall perform the Work in accordance with, and comply with, the applicable provisions of the Ground Lease set forth in Schedule A. To the extent the Contractor breaches this Agreement, which breach causes MSG to be in breach of the Ground Lease, the Contractor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless MSG and the MSG Parties from and against any claim, liability, proceeding, loss, damage, fine, fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) or expenses arising out of such breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MSG’s remedies for Contractor’s failure to achieve Substantial Completion by the Long Stop Development Completion Date are as set forth in this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 3.1.3 shall impact the remedies of MSG set forth in this Agreement for the Contractor’s failure to achieve Substantial Completion by the Substantial Completion Date or by the Long Stop Development Completion Date. Neither the provisions of Schedule A, nor any other term of this Agreement, shall be construed to create a contractual relationship of any kind between Contractor and the Lessor. Furthermore, MSG’s enforcement of the terms of the Ground Lease against Lessor shall be in the sole discretion of MSG.

3.2Review of the Contract Documents.
		
	3.2.1
	Before Contractor delivers the Incentive Benchmark Proposal to MSG, Contractor shall carefully study the Contract Documents and shall notify Architect and MSG in writing of any errors, inconsistencies, ambiguities or omissions Contractor has identified therein.

		
	3.2.2
	Contractor shall not be liable to MSG, Architect or Project Manager with respect to any error, inconsistency or omission in the Contract Documents except to the extent Contractor: (a) knew of such error, inconsistency or omission based on its review of the Contract Documents; and (b) failed to notify MSG or Architect in writing of such error, inconsistency or omission before Contractor 

19

delivered the Incentive Benchmark Proposal to MSG. In such event, Contractor shall be liable for the cost that would have otherwise been avoided had Contractor reported such error, inconsistency or omission to MSG and Architect as required under this Section 3.2.2 and shall not be entitled to recover such cost as a Cost of the Work or an adjustment to the Substantial Completion Date.
		
	3.2.3
	In the event that errors, inconsistencies or omissions are discovered by Contractor in the Contract Documents, Contractor shall not proceed with the affected portions of the Work until Contractor has submitted an RFI to, and received written interpretation with respect thereto from, Architect. An unanswered RFI shall not become a reason by itself for an extension of time unless Architect fails to respond to such RFI within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof and Contractor can otherwise demonstrate that such failure to respond results in a delay to the critical path of the Work. If Contractor: (a) delivers an RFI with respect to an error, inconsistency or omission in the Contract Documents, but proceeds with Work involving such error, inconsistency or omission prior to receiving clarification from Architect; or (b) knows that an error, inconsistency or omission exists in the Contract Documents but nonetheless proceeds with Work involving such error, inconsistency or omission without submitting an RFI to Architect, then Contractor shall correct such Work performed to comply with Architect’s reasonable interpretation of the Contract Documents and Contractor shall not be entitled to recover the cost of such correction as a Cost of the Work or an adjustment to the Substantial Completion Date.

		
	3.2.4
	Contractor shall: (a) verify the dimensions shown on the Drawings before laying out the Work; (b) be responsible for the accuracy of all lines, grades and measurements prepared by Contractor; and (c) protect and preserve all permanent bench and other markers. Checking of the dimensions or lay-out by Architect shall not relieve Contractor of its responsibility to do so. These obligations are for the purpose of facilitating construction by Contractor and are not for the purpose of discovering errors, omissions or inconsistencies in the Contract Documents; provided, however, that any errors, inconsistencies or omissions discovered by Contractor shall be reported promptly to Architect as an RFI in such form as Architect may require.

		
	3.2.5
	Unless otherwise noted by Contractor to MSG in writing, commencement of any particular portion of the Work shall constitute a representation by Contractor that Contractor has reviewed the Contract Documents associated with such portion of the Work, and that to the best of Contractor’s knowledge: (a) the Contract Documents including the Drawings and Specifications are sufficiently detailed and complete to permit Contractor to commence that portion of the Work; and (b) nothing contained in the Contract Documents or the Drawings and Specifications would materially hinder or prevent Contractor from completing that portion of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

3.3Staffing; Contractor’s Personnel; Key Construction Team Members.
		
	3.3.1
	Contractor shall maintain, and shall ensure the Subcontractors maintain, an experienced and competent full time staff at the Site to coordinate and provide supervision of the Work. In addition, Contractor and Subcontractors shall assign sufficient numbers of duly qualified personnel to the Work to the extent necessary to ensure that its obligations under the Contract Documents are timely carried out with respect to the performance of the Work.

		
	3.3.2
	Contractor shall submit, for MSG’s review and approval, a detailed staffing plan (the “Staffing Plan”) with respect to the Work to be performed pursuant to the Contract Documents by Contractor. The Staffing Plan shall provide: (a) a listing of individuals assigned to the Work; (b) the background, experience and qualifications of such individuals; (c) a description of roles/responsibilities for such individuals; and (d) the anticipated time to be expended by such individuals in performing the Work. The approval by MSG of any Project personnel shall not relieve Contractor of any responsibility for such personnel.

20

		
	3.3.3
	In addition to MSG’s rights pursuant to Section 3.12.3, if MSG finds the work of any employee of Contractor or of Contractor’s agents or Subcontractors (of any tier), or of any independent contractor of any Subcontractor, who is performing the Work or any services in connection with the Project (a “Contractor Employee”) to be unsatisfactory or substandard, or determines that such Contractor Employee imposes a safety hazard, a quality hazard or a material risk to the timely completion of the Work, then MSG may request by written notice to Contractor that Contractor replace, or cause the applicable agent, Subcontractor or independent contractor to replace, such Contractor Employee. Within ten (10) Business Days after Contractor receives such notice from MSG (or in the case of a Contractor Employee that is determined to pose a safety hazard, immediately after receiving such notice from MSG (which notice in such case shall be written)), Contractor shall, or shall cause the applicable agent, Subcontractor or independent contractor to, remove such Contractor Employee from the Site (if applicable) and replace such Contractor Employee with another individual who is reasonably satisfactory to MSG.

		
	3.3.4
	Contractor represents that all of its employees are, and for the duration of the Work, will be, duly licensed under the laws of the State of Nevada to the extent such licensing is required by law. Contractor further represents and warrants that it possesses, and for the duration of the Work, will possess, all licenses and permits under Nevada law necessary to perform the Work under this Agreement, including a contractor’s license with the appropriate classifications issued in accordance with NRS 624.240, et. seq.

		
	3.3.5
	Contractor and MSG agree that there are certain members of Contractor’s proposed team that are invaluable to the development of the Project (the “Key Construction Team Members”). The Key Construction Team Members are set forth in Schedule D. Contractor acknowledges that MSG wants to ensure that the Key Construction Team Members are assigned to the Project as outlined in Schedule D, regardless of Contractor’s current and future work on other projects. The assignment, and duration of assignment, of the Key Construction Team Members to the Project as outlined in the Staffing Plan is a material requirement of this Agreement. Consequently, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.3 or in any other provision of the Contract Documents, and except to the extent otherwise approved by MSG, for each of the following Key Construction Team Members, if any such Key Construction Team Member is not assigned to the Project in accordance with such Key Construction Team Member’s responsibilities and for the respective durations as set forth in the Staffing Plan (as reasonably determined by MSG), then Contractor shall pay to MSG, with respect to each such Key Construction Team Member that is not assigned to the Project in accordance with his/her responsibilities under the Staffing Plan, a one-time payment of liquidated damages equal to [*****] per Key Construction Team Member.

		
	3.3.6
	The Parties agree that the damages that MSG would suffer as the result of the foregoing are difficult or hard to determine and that the liquidated damages amounts set forth above are reasonable approximations of the actual damages that MSG would suffer. Neither the Key Construction Team Members, nor their responsibilities and respective durations as outlined in the Staffing Plan, may be changed without the prior approval of MSG. Any liquidated damages assessed under this Section 3.3 may be recovered by MSG through a reduction in the Contractor’s Fee. Contractor’s commitment to provide the Key Construction Team Members and commitment to pay liquidated damages as set forth above is only subject to the unavailability of such Key Construction Team Members due to serious illness, termination or cessation of such Key Construction Team Members’ employment by Contractor, or an extraordinary personal or family issue/event (serious spouse, child, or parent illness, etc.). The nomination of any Person to replace any Key Construction Team Member in accordance with this Agreement (because, for example, such Key Construction Team Person is ill or is no longer employed by Contractor) will be subject to the prior written approval by MSG, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

21

		
	3.3.7
	Contractor shall notify MSG in writing of its appointment of a representative who shall be the Lessor’s “24 hour emergency” contact and whose telephone numbers shall be provided to the Lessor for such purpose.

3.4Taxes
		
	3.4.1
	Contractor shall pay sales, consumer, use, commercial activity, and similar taxes for the Work provided by or on behalf of Contractor. Such taxes shall be reimbursed as Cost of the Work in accordance with Section 4.8.1.6 hereof.  A failure to comply with the foregoing tax obligations, or any other tax obligations required by this Agreement, shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

3.5Quality Control and Quality Management.
		
	3.5.1
	No later than thirty (30) Days after the execution of the Agreement, Contractor shall provide to MSG and Project Manager for their review and approval a “QA/QC Plan”. Contractor shall incorporate into the QA/QC Plan all reasonable comments and changes to the QA/QC Plan proposed by MSG or Project Manager. The goal of the QA/QC Plan shall be to ensure that construction of the Work is in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents. The QA/QC Plan shall also ensure that appropriate procedures are implemented to verify and document compliance with the Contract Documents. The QA/QC Plan shall include at a minimum: (a) the allocation of quality control and assurance responsibilities to the various participants in the Work; (b) an inspection and testing plan for each critical component of the Work; (c) field monitoring and inspection reports, documenting the results of inspection; (d) a plan to audit Subcontractors quality control and assurance efforts; (e) identification and reporting procedures for non-conforming Work; and (f) a tracking system to monitor correction of non-conforming Work. The QA/QC Plan shall be updated as appropriate during the course of the Work.

		
	3.5.2
	Contractor shall implement the QA/QC Plan, which implementation shall include reviewing the Work of Subcontractors to determine if the Work of each Subcontractor is being performed in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, and to determine if there are any defects and deficiencies in the Work. MSG may engage an independent consultant to perform inspections of Contractor’s and Subcontractors’ conformance with the QA/QC Plan. Any instances of a failure to comply with the QA/QC Plan, whether identified by the independent consultant or otherwise, shall be notified by MSG or Project Manager to Contractor (provided that any failure on the part of MSG or Project Manager to notify Contractor shall not impact on Contractor’s obligation to fulfil its obligations regarding quality and conformance to the QA/QC Plan) and Contractor shall rectify such failure without recovery as a Cost of the Work and without adjustment to the Incentive Benchmark or the Substantial Completion Date. Contractor shall promptly bring all such material defects and deficiencies that are not subject to correction in the normal course of construction to the attention of the applicable Subcontractor and notify MSG thereof. Communications between Contractor and Subcontractors with regard to quality management and assurance shall not in any way be construed as releasing Contractor or its Subcontractors from performing their Work in accordance with the terms of the Contract Documents.

		
	3.5.3
	Contractor shall participate in regular coordination and quality review meetings with MSG, Project Manager and Architect. During such meetings Contractor shall provide information, estimates, schemes, guidance and recommendations regarding: (i) missing data or details needed to complete the design; (ii) site conditions, site surveys and soils reports with respect to site challenges and mitigation measures; (iii) constructability; (iv) construction operations planning; (v) construction materials and systems; (vi) means and methods; (vii) phased construction opportunities and constraints; (viii) scheduling, sequencing and coordination; (ix) Value Engineering options 

22

consistent with the requirements of Section 3.8; and (x) costs to provide the Work in accordance with the Standard of Care and within the Construction Schedule for the Work.
3.6Consents and Approvals.
		
	3.6.1
	Unless otherwise set forth herein, Contractor shall assist MSG in obtaining all consents and approvals required to be obtained from any Governmental Authority or third party relating to the Work, together with any approvals required to be obtained from the Lessor.

3.7Schedules.
3.7.1Preliminary Construction Schedule
		
	3.7.1.1
	The Preliminary Construction Schedule prepared by Contractor detailing the schedule for the completion of the Work by the Substantial Completion Date has been provided to MSG under the previously issued LNTP. The Preliminary Construction Schedule shall include a schedule for the purchase of long-lead-time materials and equipment. The Preliminary Construction Schedule shall be further revised and refined by Contractor prior to the submission of the Incentive Benchmark Proposal by Contractor and shall be the basis of the proposed Construction Schedule to be established as part of the Incentive Benchmark Amendment.

		
	3.7.2
	Construction Schedule

		
	3.7.2.1
	The Construction Schedule shall be established as part of the Incentive Benchmark Amendment. The Construction Schedule shall include the Substantial Completion Date and the Long Stop Development Completion Date. Once established, the Substantial Completion Date and the Long Stop Development Completion Date may only be modified by a Change Order or Construction Change Directive signed by MSG.

		
	3.7.2.2
	At MSG’s written request, Contractor also shall provide various conceptual master planning schedules that include not only the Work covered under this Agreement, but also “other components” of the Project (e.g., off-site transportation improvements, off-site utility extensions, etc.) in order to assist MSG in its planning of the overall development. MSG shall provide Contractor with information regarding these “other components.”

		
	3.7.3
	Submittal Schedule

		
	3.7.3.1
	Submittals are not Contract Documents. Their purpose is to demonstrate, for those portions of the Work for which Submittals are required, how Contractor proposes to conform to the information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. By preparing, reviewing and presenting submittals, Contractor represents that Contractor has determined and verified all materials, field measurements and field construction criteria related thereto and has checked and coordinated the information contained within such submittals with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

		
	3.7.3.2
	Contractor shall prepare and submit to Project Manager and MSG for their review and approval a proposed submittal schedule for the construction of the Work (“Submittal Schedule”) pursuant to Section 4.5.2.6. The Submittal Schedule shall be coordinated with the Construction Schedule, shall identify the dates for the 

23

submission and return of all Submittals, and shall indicate the Submittal designation, description, and Drawing and Specification reference. The Submittal Schedule shall afford Architect at least ten (10) Business Days to review and return each Submittal. Contractor shall make allowance in the Submittal Schedule for mailing of Submittals unless Contractor provides other means of delivery. Late or untimely Submittals shall not reduce Architect’s review time.
		
	3.7.3.3
	Contractor shall review, stamp “Reviewed,” and submit to Architect, all Submittals required by the Contract Documents. Submittals that are not stamped “Reviewed” by Contractor shall be returned, without further consideration, for resubmission in accordance with these requirements. Submittals shall be provided in accordance with the Submittal Schedule. Submittals made by Contractor, which are not required by the Contract Documents, may be returned without action. Submission of Submittals to Architect must include a statement, in writing, identifying any deviations from the Drawings and Specifications. By stamping a Submittal “Reviewed” and submitting it to Architect, Contractor represents that it has determined or verified materials and field measurements and conditions related thereto, and that it has checked and coordinated the information contained within such Submittal with the requirements of the Contract Documents and with the Submittals for related Work.

		
	3.7.3.4
	No Work requiring a Submittal shall be performed by Contractor until the Submittal has been reviewed by Architect and Architect has either approved it or affirmatively stated in writing that no exceptions have been taken. Submittals shall be returned in accordance with the Submittal Schedule. To the extent a Submittal is not covered by the Submittal Schedule, Contractor shall afford Architect as long as necessary (but in any event at least fifteen (15) Business Days) for review of Submittals, or longer for Submittals that are lengthy or complex.

		
	3.7.3.5
	Review of Submittals by Architect, Project Manager or MSG will be general and for conformance with design intent, and shall not relieve Contractor from its sole responsibility for proper fitting and construction of the Work, nor from furnishing materials and Work required by Contractor, which may not be indicated on the reviewed Submittals. Contractor shall remain solely responsible, notwithstanding MSG’s, Project Manager’s or Architect’s review or approval of Submittals, for deviations (including without limitation those arising from standard shop practice) from requirements of the Contract Documents, unless Contractor has specifically informed MSG, Project Manager and Architect in writing of such deviation at the time of transmitting the Submittal and Architect has given specific written approval of such deviation. No recovery as a Cost of the Work nor adjustment to the Incentive Benchmark or Substantial Completion Date shall be permitted with respect to any such deviations that are noted in writing by Contractor but as to which Architect takes no exception or does not approve. Architect’s approval of a Submittal shall not constitute approval of safety precautions, means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. Architect’s approval of a specific item shall not constitute approval of an assembly of which the item is a component.

3.8Value Engineering.
		
	3.8.1
	Contractor will assist Architect in providing life-cycle analyses and shall provide cost-reduction and Value Engineering analyses on major construction components, such as, but not restricted to: (1) structural systems; (2) the exterior envelope; (3) mechanical systems; (4) lighting; and (5) power service. When reasonably requested by MSG and Project Manager, Contractor shall

Such As-Built Drawings shall note all deviations between the Work and the Drawings and Specifications, including those deviations resulting from Change Orders.

3.22Survey Marks.
		
	3.22.1
	In this Section 3.22, “survey mark” means a survey peg, bench mark, reference mark, signal alignment, level mark or other mark used for the purpose of setting out, checking or measuring the Work.

		
	3.22.2
	Unless stated otherwise in this Agreement, MSG must supply to Contractor the information and survey marks necessary to enable Contractor to set out the Work. It is Contractor’s responsibility to accurately set out the Work based on these survey marks and information, after verifying their correctness.

		
	3.22.3
	Contractor must rectify any disturbance or obliteration of MSG’s survey marks unless the disturbance or obliteration was caused by MSG or someone for whom MSG is responsible.

3.23Inspection and Testing.
		
	3.23.1
	MSG, Architect and Project Manager or their nominee may inspect the Work, on reasonable notice to Contractor at any time, including any inspection or test to determine whether the Work complies with the Drawings and Specifications. Inspections and tests by MSG, Architect or Project Manager shall not be constructed as acceptance of the Work nor a waiver of any of MSG’s rights under this Agreement.

		
	3.23.2
	Contractor shall develop a checking and testing procedure, subject to MSG’s review and approval, that will ensure that all systems are adequately tested and balanced prior to their acceptance by MSG. Such checking and testing procedure shall include all tests and inspections required by the Contract Documents.

	3.24.2
	Any amounts paid by MSG to the Contractor pursuant to the LNTP or the Preconstruction Services Agreement shall be represented in the Incentive Benchmark Proposal as a credit to MSG.

ARTICLE 4
PRICING METHODOLOGY AND PRICING COMPONENTS

4.1Pricing Overview.
		
	4.1.1
	The pricing methodology to be used for performance of the Work is based on a “cost of the work plus a fee” as part of an overall Incentive Benchmark, subject to the pricing of Subcontracts which will be as set forth in Section 11.1.1. The “Cost of the Work” is defined in Section 4.8 and the Contractor’s Fee is defined in Schedule E-1. Contractor and MSG shall work together pursuant to the terms of this Article 4 and in accordance with the Incentive Benchmark Development Schedule, so as to develop the Incentive Benchmark Proposal and enter into the Incentive Benchmark Amendment (provided, however, that MSG has no obligation to accept the Incentive Benchmark Proposal or enter into the Incentive Benchmark Amendment). 

		
	4.1.2
	Contractor acknowledges and accepts that MSG requires an open and transparent pricing model. Contractor agrees, and shall require its Subcontractors to agree in their Subcontracts, that Contractor and each Subcontractor shall provide the level of transparency and detail required by MSG.

		
	4.1.3
	Contractor also acknowledges and accepts that, except as otherwise approved by MSG, MSG desires that all of the elements of the Work be the subject of competition and shall take all commercially reasonable steps to ensure that each element of the Incentive Benchmark is as low as possible.

		
	4.1.4
	Contractor acknowledges that MSG’s agreement to the Incentive Benchmark is not a recognition of what the Cost of the Work will ultimately be and that the purpose of the Incentive Benchmark is to determine the Contractor’s Fee. 

36

		
	4.2
	Early Work Packages

		
	4.2.1
	The Work may be divided into one or more phases or packages which will be ready for commencement of construction before the Incentive Benchmark for the entire Work has been agreed. Or, MSG may require certain preliminary Work to be performed in preparation for the balance of the Work. If MSG elects to proceed with a particular portion of the Work before the Parties arrive at the Incentive Benchmark, Contractor shall develop proposals for any such phases or packages of the Work (“Early Work Packages”). For each Early Work Package, MSG and the Contractor shall enter into an “Early Work Authorization Agreement” in a mutually acceptable format (including in the form of a field order) executed by both MSG and Contractor and which (a) describes the Work to be performed thereunder, (b) establishes at MSG’s direction, pricing on a time and materials, fixed price or unit price basis for that portion of the Work, and (c) establishes a Substantial Completion Date for that portion of the Work. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Contract Documents to the contrary, MSG acknowledges and agrees that the Incentive Benchmark is not guaranteed by Contractor, except to the extent components of the Incentive Benchmark are fixed or guaranteed pursuant to the terms of the Subcontracts (but subject to the rights of adjustment of the fixed or guaranteed price that exist under any such Subcontracts).

		
	4.2.2
	The price and scope of Work that is the subject of the Early Work Authorization Agreement will be included in the Incentive Benchmark Proposal developed pursuant to Section 4.5 and the Early Work Authorization Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and shall be superseded by the Incentive Benchmark Amendment.

		
	4.2.3
	Unless otherwise stated in the Early Work Authorization Agreement, execution by MSG and delivery to Contractor of the Early Work Authorization Agreement shall constitute notice to proceed for the Work specified therein.

4.3[Not used]
4.4Incentive Benchmark Proposal Development
		
	4.4.1
	MSG shall cause Architect to deliver to Contractor the Incentive Benchmark Drawings and Specifications.  Prior to submitting the Incentive Benchmark Proposal, Contractor shall carefully review the Incentive Benchmark Drawings and Specifications and carefully compare all existing conditions to the requirements of the Incentive Benchmark Drawings and Specifications. Based on such review and the work performed by, and knowledge gained by, Contractor during the Preconstruction Services and the LNTP Work, Contractor shall promptly notify MSG in writing: (a) of all known errors, inconsistencies or omissions in the Incentive Benchmark Drawings and Specifications; and (b) if Contractor believes the Incentive Benchmark Drawings and Specifications are not sufficient to enable Contractor to proceed with performance of the Work and otherwise fulfill its obligations under the Contract Documents.

4.5Incentive Benchmark Proposal
		
	4.5.1
	Contractor shall prepare the Incentive Benchmark Proposal in accordance with the Standard of Care, to reflect Contractor’s best estimate of what the Cost of the Work will ultimately be, without any allowance for contingencies or reserves (other than the Allowances provided for in Section 4.11.1). Contractor acknowledges receipt of the Incentive Benchmark Drawings and Specifications by electronic transmittal on May 18, 2019 and shall deliver the Incentive Benchmark Proposal to MSG on or before July 17, 2019.

		
	4.5.2
	The Incentive Benchmark Proposal shall include, in addition to the Incentive Benchmark Qualifications and Assumptions:

37

		
	4.5.2.1
	a detailed schedule of values detailing:

		
	4.5.2.1.1
	the estimated Cost of the Work to be incurred by Contractor organized by trade categories (which shall include any Costs of the Work incurred under the LNTP and under any Early Work Package Agreements (including to the extent such Work has been fully bought out or completed));

		
	4.5.2.1.2
	all estimated Allowances listed in accordance with Section 4.5.2.4;

		
	4.5.2.1.3
	estimated General Conditions Costs and General Requirements Work Expenses, including wages, rates and burdens (based on the rates set forth in Schedule Q together with any other wages, rates and burdens to be agreed to with MSG);

		
	4.5.2.1.4
	the Allocation; and

		
	4.5.2.1.5
	the Contractor’s Fee, as set forth in Schedule E,

		
	4.5.2.2
	a statement of the proposed Incentive Benchmark, which proposed Incentive Benchmark will equal the sum of the amounts listed in the detailed schedule of values described in Section 4.5.2.1;

		
	4.5.2.3
	Contractor’s Incentive Benchmark Qualifications and Assumptions;

		
	4.5.2.4
	a list of proposed Allowances and for each such Allowance, the estimated amount for such Allowance and a statement of its basis, as more fully described in Section 4.11;

		
	4.5.2.5
	a schedule of applicable alternate prices (for alternates requested by MSG);

		
	4.5.2.6
	a proposed Construction Schedule and a proposed Submittal Schedule;

		
	4.5.2.7
	a schedule of unit prices to be used in the calculation of Change Order amounts; provided that the failure of the Parties to agree on such unit prices will not affect the effectiveness of the remainder of the Incentive Benchmark Proposal;

		
	4.5.2.8
	a proposed Staffing Plan (which Staffing Plan shall include the staff of major Subcontractors as agreed between the Parties);

		
	4.5.2.9
	the time limit for validity of the Incentive Benchmark Proposal (which shall not be less than ninety (90) Days and may be extended by the Parties by mutual agreement); and

		
	4.5.2.10
	any not to exceed amounts required by MSG with respect to individual trade packages or other packages of the Work.

		
	4.5.3
	To the extent that the Incentive Benchmark Drawings and Specifications are anticipated to require further development by Architect, Contractor shall provide in the Incentive Benchmark Proposal for such further development consistent with the Contract Documents.

		
	4.5.4
	MSG shall be entitled to full access to all details of the process of preparing the Incentive Benchmark Proposal. Contractor shall comply with the requirements of Article 11, including making available to MSG upon request all Subcontractor bids and underlying documentation upon 

38

which the Incentive Benchmark Proposal is based.  It is the intent of this Agreement that the Incentive Benchmark will minimize the Allowances, assumptions, clarifications and any other elements that could lead to Change Orders or to the actual Cost of the Work exceeding the Incentive Benchmark.
		
	4.5.5
	Promptly after Contractor delivers the Incentive Benchmark Proposal to MSG, the Project Development Team shall meet to review and confer about the Incentive Benchmark Proposal. If MSG, Project Manager, or Architect discovers any inconsistencies or inaccuracies in the Incentive Benchmark Proposal, then they shall promptly notify Contractor, who shall make appropriate adjustments to the Incentive Benchmark Proposal. The reconciliation shall be documented by an addendum to the Incentive Benchmark Qualifications and Assumptions that shall be approved in writing by MSG and Contractor. The Project Development Team shall work cooperatively in a diligent manner to review and assess the Incentive Benchmark within twenty-one (21) Days after Contractor provides the Incentive Benchmark Proposal to MSG; provided that MSG may extend such time (subject to the time limit specified in Section 4.5.2.9 above), if necessary.  

		
	4.5.6
	If, within the twenty-one (21) day (or such longer) period, MSG (in its sole discretion) rejects the Incentive Benchmark Proposal, MSG may, at its election:  (a) terminate this Agreement within seven (7) days’ notice of termination for convenience and without cause pursuant to Section 18.6.1; (b) direct Contractor to perform Value Engineering in accordance with the following paragraph, or (c) direct Contractor to perform certain packages of the Work selected by MSG on the terms set forth in this Agreement; provided that, in the context of (c) Contractor’s Fee shall be the flat rate identified in Section B of Schedule E-1 hereto. 

		
	4.5.7
	If MSG so requests pursuant to Section 4.5.6(b) above, Contractor shall notify the Project Development Team promptly and thereafter, diligently work with Project Manager, MSG, and Architect to develop Value Engineering and other cost-saving alternatives to reduce the proposed Incentive Benchmark to an amount acceptable to MSG and within the time requested by MSG; provided, however, that MSG has no obligation to incorporate into the Drawings and Specifications any alternatives proposed by the Contractor (except to the extent any such alternatives are accepted in writing by MSG). If MSG still does not approve the Incentive Benchmark Proposal (whether with or without any of the Value Engineering or other cost-saving alternatives developed by Contractor), then at MSG’s request, MSG and Contractor will meet and confer in good faith to discuss such modifications to the Incentive Benchmark Proposal that will make the Incentive Benchmark Proposal acceptable to MSG and Contractor. 

4.6Incentive Benchmark Amendment
		
	4.6.1
	MSG and Contractor shall use good faith efforts to promptly negotiate the Incentive Benchmark Amendment.  If MSG approves the Incentive Benchmark Proposal, MSG and Contractor will enter into a “Incentive Benchmark Amendment” based upon the approved Incentive Benchmark Proposal, including the associated Incentive Benchmark Drawings and Specifications, Incentive Benchmark Qualifications and Assumptions, Construction Schedule and other agreed to documents. Upon execution of the Incentive Benchmark Amendment, the Incentive Benchmark Amendment and its Schedules shall become part of the Contract Documents and shall have the same effect as a Schedule to this Agreement. Upon execution of the Incentive Benchmark Amendment, the proposed Construction Schedule attached thereto shall become the “Construction Schedule”.

		
	4.6.2
	The Incentive Benchmark and Construction Schedule, once established, shall be modified only upon the issuance of properly-authorized Change Orders or Construction Change Directives signed by MSG. The Incentive Benchmark shall be based upon completion of the Work pursuant to the 

39

Substantial Completion Date, the Long Stop Development Completion Date and other dates set forth in the Construction Schedule.
4.7[Not Used]
4.8Cost of the Work.
		
	4.8.1
	[*****]

		
	4.8.2
	[*****]

		
	4.8.3
	Notwithstanding the breakdown or categorization of any costs to be reimbursed in this Article 4 or elsewhere in the Contract Documents, there shall be no duplication of payment if any particular item for which payment is requested can be characterized as falling into more than one of the types of compensable or reimbursable categories. Whenever Contractor has been paid, as a Cost of the Work or otherwise, amounts that are recovered from any other source (e.g., a Subcontractor, any insurer, surety or other third party), Contractor shall credit MSG with any amounts recovered.

		
	4.8.4
	Whenever additional overtime, extra-shift work or similar premium Work is used on the Project, Contractor shall implement such Work in a cost efficient manner.  Before commencing any additional overtime, extra-shift work or similar premium work, Contractor shall obtain the prior written consent of MSG; provided that such consent may be sought and obtained through look ahead schedules or other mechanisms that avoid the need for individual consents.

		
	4.8.5
	The actual Cost of the Work shall be adjusted to reflect any and all discounts, including trade, quantity and cash discounts, rebates, refunds and other similar considerations; provided, however, that MSG provides any funds when needed to obtain such considerations. Such considerations shall accrue exclusively to the benefit of MSG unless MSG does not provide funds, in which case it accrues to Contractor. Contractor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to secure such considerations on behalf of MSG.

		
	4.8.6
	Upon Substantial Completion, Contractor shall submit a list of any tools, equipment, or office equipment purchased for the Project above the value of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) and for which MSG has paid as a Cost of the Work. If MSG so elects, any such tools or equipment shall be delivered to MSG at the end of the Project. If MSG elects not to take title to any such tools or equipment, then MSG shall be credited with the fair market value thereof as a deduction against the Cost of the Work via the following Application for Payment.

		
	4.8.7
	Contractor shall not be entitled to recover the Contractor’s Fee for the Cost of the Work for Contractor’s own insurance premiums, the premium for or any other payments or costs associated with the CoCIP program referred to in Schedule C or the premium for bonds (if required by MSG).

		
	4.8.8
	Except to the extent expressly permitted by Section 4.8.1, Contractor shall only invoice MSG for internal or third party costs that are directly attributable to this Project. 

4.9General Conditions Costs and General Requirements Work Expenses.
		
	4.9.1
	With each of its monthly invoices, Contractor shall provide MSG and Project Manager with a detailed spreadsheet that identifies the General Conditions Costs and General Requirements Work Expenses that Contractor has incurred for that month and all previous months, broken out by the specific types of General Conditions and in the level of detail reasonably requested by MSG. To the extent the General Conditions Costs and/or General Requirements Work Expenses exceed the estimate provided by Contractor to MSG, Contractor shall provide written reasons for such overruns.

40

		
	4.9.2
	Included in the General Conditions Costs will be an amount equal to [*****] of the actual Cost of the Work (the “Staff Incentive Amount”), which will be distributed by Contractor, at its sole discretion, as bonuses to Contractor’s staff and personnel that have been involved with the Project (regardless of whether such involvement was full time, part time, on Site or at the home office). Contractor shall not be entitled to any Fee or any other markups or overhead of any kind, on any portion of the Staff Incentive Amount. 

4.10Allocation
		
	4.10.1
	Subject to the other provisions of this Section 4.10, Contractor may use the Allocation in accordance with Schedule F. Contractor may not use any portion of the Allocation without first obtaining MSG’s prior written approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) except where Contractor is entitled to use the Allocation without MSG’s prior consent, as set forth in Schedule F.

		
	4.10.2
	To the extent MSG’s prior written approval to an Allocation expenditure is required, Contractor shall provide written notice to MSG of its intent to use the Allocation, which notice shall include a description and amount of the Cost of the Work to be covered by said expenditure, the efforts made to avoid the expenditure and the efforts Contractor will make to replenish the Allocation. MSG shall either provide approval or state the reasons for its disapproval in writing within five (5) Business Days after MSG receives a request from Contractor to use the Allocation. Subject to the terms in this Agreement, MSG’s approval of such request shall not unreasonably delay the performance of the Work.

		
	4.10.3
	Contractor shall not be entitled to any Fee, General Conditions Costs, General Requirement Work Expenses, or any other markups or overhead of any kind, on any portion of the Allocation that is not used.  In addition, Contractor shall not be entitled to any Fee, General Conditions Costs, General Requirement Work Expenses, or any other markups or overhead of any kind, on any portion of the Allocation that is used for legal expenses as described in Section 2.1(c) of Schedule F.

		
	4.10.4
	Whenever Contractor has been paid out of the Allocation, and such amounts paid may be recoverable from a third party, such as a Subcontractor, insurance company or surety, Contractor shall diligently and in good faith pursue recovery and any recovery obtained by Contractor shall be credited back to the Allocation. Contractor shall keep MSG informed of the status of its recovery efforts, and will not cease in its pursuit without first obtaining MSG’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

		
	4.10.5
	Contractor shall provide monthly written reports to MSG and Project Manager of its use of the Allocation (and any replenishment thereof).

4.11Allowance Amounts.
		
	4.11.1
	The Incentive Benchmark Amendment may contain allowances as part of the Cost of the Work only if the Incentive Benchmark Drawings and Specifications do not include sufficient specificity, detail or certainty for Contractor to incorporate pricing into the Incentive Benchmark Amendment (“Allowance”). For these Allowances, Contractor shall propose its estimates of the cost for the Allowance item and accounting for the unique features of this Project, its location, information available, local labor rates and MSG’s directions.

		
	4.11.2
	The estimate of the cost for each Allowance item shall be subject to Contractor’s Fee (calculated in accordance with Schedule E-1). No work shall be performed on any Allowance without the Contractor first obtaining MSG’s approval. Contractor represents to MSG that the estimate of the 

41

cost for each Allowance item is reasonable based on the information known by Contractor at the time of the Incentive Benchmark Amendment. Unless otherwise noted in the Contract Documents, the Cost of the Work for any Allowance in the Incentive Benchmark shall include all labor, material, equipment, taxes, transportation, Subcontractor overhead and profit, and insurance associated with the applicable Allowance. Contractor’s overall project management and overhead and its General Conditions Costs associated with any Allowance are deemed to be included in the Incentive Benchmark set forth in the Incentive Benchmark Amendment, and are not subject to adjustment, regardless of the actual amount of the Allowance.
		
	4.11.3
	Contractor shall continue to work with other members of the Project Development Team to develop a final price for each portion of the Work covered by an Allowance promptly after MSG has finalized its selection of items and Architect has completed all related Contract Documents associated with any such Allowance. Contractor shall give notice to MSG of the final amount. MSG thereafter shall promptly elect to either:

		
	4.11.3.1
	Issue a Change Order increasing or reducing the Incentive Benchmark (with any associated increase or decrease in the Contractor’s Fee) by the difference between the estimate of the cost for each Allowance item set forth in the Incentive Benchmark Amendment and the final amount agreed upon by Contractor and MSG to furnish or construct the Allowance item. For any such Change Order reducing the Incentive Benchmark, such reduction shall accrue solely to MSG; and/or

		
	4.11.3.2
	Direct Architect to undertake the redesign of the Allowance item or any other item of Work in such a manner that the Allowance item can be installed without the Incentive Benchmark being exceeded or the Construction Schedule being extended. If MSG elects to so redesign, Contractor agrees to cooperate with MSG, Architect, and any other consultant of MSG in order to reduce the cost of constructing or furnishing the Allowance item or any other item of Work. Contractor shall not be responsible for consultant fees incurred by MSG in the event of a redesign effort.

4.12[Not Used]
4.13Subcontract Buy-Out.
		
	4.13.1
	Through bidding and negotiation with Subcontractors pursuant to Article 11, Contractor shall use its best efforts to obtain the best value for the Work which shall be reflected in Subcontracts entered into by Contractor for performance of the Work. Where a Subcontract price is selected by MSG pursuant to Section 11.1.1 to be a fixed price, the difference between (i) the fixed price of the Subcontract amounts in the estimate used to establish the Incentive Benchmark, and (ii) the fixed price of the actual Subcontract amounts entered into by Contractor for performance of the Work (taking into consideration any early payment or similar discounts) shall hereinafter be referred to as “Buy-Out Savings”.

		
	4.13.2
	Buy-Out Savings shall be tracked and calculated by Contractor and reported to MSG and Project Manager in a “Subcontract Buy-Out Log” as each Subcontract is entered into and upon Substantial Completion of the Work (such process referred to as the “Subcontract Buy-Out”). The Subcontract Buy-Out Log shall be prepared on a line item basis in a form reasonably acceptable to MSG and Project Manager which identifies the specific scope of Work and Subcontractor in each line item for which the pricing has been fixed in the Subcontract and the amount of such pricing, the scope and estimated Cost of the Work in each line item that has not been fixed in the Subcontract, and any “savings” or amounts not reasonably anticipated by Contractor to be required for payment for Cost of the Work under the respective line item.

42

		
	4.13.3
	Prior to the issuance of an Early Work Authorization Agreement or the Incentive Benchmark Amendment, Contractor shall provide updated copies of the Subcontractor Buy-Out Log on a monthly basis. Thereafter, a copy of the updated Subcontract Buy-Out Log shall be furnished with Contractor’s Application for Payment, until the Subcontract Buy-Out is complete.

		
	4.13.4
	Contractor shall report to MSG and Project Manager the proposed adjustments to the Schedule of Values to reflect the difference between the sum of the Subcontract amounts in the Schedule of Values used to establish the Incentive Benchmark and the sum of the actual amounts of the Subcontracts entered into by Contractor for performance of the Work. The Incentive Benchmark shall be reduced by an amount equal to the total Buy-Out Savings. Contractor’s Subcontract Buy-Out Log shall be revised to accurately reflect such adjustments and transfers. Buy-Out Savings shall be separately tracked in the Schedule of Values.

		
	4.13.5
	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Incentive Benchmark agreed upon in the Incentive Benchmark Amendment will not be based upon and will not establish individual guaranteed line items for the various components of the Work which make up the Incentive Benchmark, nor is the Incentive Benchmark itself guaranteed; provided, however, that to the extent one or more portions of the Incentive Benchmark are fixed or guaranteed pursuant to the Subcontracts, such fixed or guaranteed amounts will appear as fixed or guaranteed individual line items and be tracked in the Subcontract Buy-Out Log.

ACTICLE 5
TIME AND DELAYS

5.1Definitions.
		
	5.1.1
	TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. Contractor shall perform the Work in accordance with the Construction Schedule so as to achieve Substantial Completion on or before the Substantial Completion Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Contract Documents and notwithstanding the fact that, except as set out in Section 4.2.1,  the Incentive Benchmark is not a guaranteed cap, the Substantial Completion Date and the Long Stop Development Completion Date shall not be adjusted except by a properly executed Change Order or Construction Change Directive signed by MSG.

		
	5.1.2
	The date of Substantial Completion is the date certified by Project Manager pursuant to Section 13.15 when Substantial Completion has been achieved pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The date of Final Completion is the date certified by Project Manager pursuant to Section 13.16 when Final Completion has been achieved pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

5.2Progress and Completion.
		
	5.2.1
	Contractor shall perform the Work expeditiously and shall achieve Substantial Completion by the Substantial Completion Date. The Substantial Completion Date shall only be adjusted in accordance with this Agreement. Where there is an adjustment to the Substantial Completion Date, the Long Stop Development Completion Date shall be equally adjusted on a day for day basis; provided, however, that Contractor shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the need for an adjustment to the Long Stop Development Completion Date by accelerating or resequencing the Work, the costs of which shall be dealt with in accordance with Section 5.4 below.

5.3Delays and Extensions of Time.
		
	5.3.1
	To the extent the performance by Contractor of any activity on the critical path of the Construction Schedule is delayed by reason of, and only by reason of, an MSG Act, an event of Force Majeure or another event expressly identified in this Agreement as giving Contractor the right to seek an 

43

adjustment, then the Substantial Completion Date may be extended as provided in this Section 5.3; provided that in each instance the notice provisions and other conditions and requirements of this Section 5.3 are satisfied as a precondition to any entitlement of Contractor to the adjustments set forth herein. Any adjustment to the Substantial Completion Date shall be limited to the period of time that an activity on the critical path of the Construction Schedule is actually delayed by the MSG Act, the other events giving Contractor the right to seek an adjustment or the event of Force Majeure described in such notice. For periods of delay caused by reason of:
		
	5.3.1.1
	an MSG Act, Contractor shall be entitled, subject to the requirements of Article 6, to an adjustment to the Incentive Benchmark based upon any actual and proven increase in the Cost of the Work as a result of the MSG Act;

		
	5.3.1.2
	an event of Force Majeure, the provisions of Section 5.3.6 shall apply with respect to any cost recovery entitlement of Contractor; and

		
	5.3.1.3
	an event expressly identified in this Agreement as giving Contractor the right to recover additional cost in addition to an adjustment to the Substantial Completion Date, then the terms of the relevant provision shall apply,

		
	5.3.1.4
	provided, however, that any claim by Contractor for an adjustment to the Incentive Benchmark or for additional Cost of the Work shall be subject to audit by MSG and Contractor shall make all of its and its Subcontractors’ books and records available to MSG or its nominee for such audit, upon MSG’s request.

		
	5.3.2
	As a precondition to any entitlement to an adjustment to the Substantial Completion Date in accordance with this Section 5.3, Contractor shall use reasonable efforts: (x) to mitigate the effects and duration of, and costs arising from, any suspension or delay in the performance of its obligations under the Contract Documents; (y) to the extent reasonably possible, continue to perform its obligations under the Contract Documents; and (z) to the extent reasonably possible, remedy its inability to perform the Work or a portion thereof.

		
	5.3.3
	Contractor shall notify MSG and Project Manager in writing of any MSG Act for which it seeks an adjustment to the Substantial Completion Date no later than ten (10) Business Days after Contractor has knowledge of the event that caused the delay for which it seeks an adjustment, or reasonably should have had knowledge, in accordance with the Standard of Care, of the event that caused the delay for which it seeks an adjustment, whichever is sooner.

		
	5.3.4
	Within a further ten (10) Business Days of Contactor’s initial written notice of the MSG Act that caused the delay for which Contractor seeks an adjustment, Contractor shall provide a written estimate of the probable effect of such delay on the progress of the Work to the extent then known.

		
	5.3.5
	If Contractor is entitled to an adjustment to the Substantial Completion Date under this Section 5.3 due to an MSG Act or an event of Force Majeure, then the Substantial Completion Date shall be adjusted pursuant to a Change Order in accordance with Section 5.3.8 to the extent Contractor demonstrates using critical path analysis and the most recent monthly update of the Construction Schedule approved by MSG that the performance of the Work or the achievement of Substantial Completion, as applicable, will be delayed by such MSG Act or event of Force Majeure, despite Contractor’s notification of the event to MSG.

		
	5.3.6
	If Contractor experiences one or more events of Force Majeure, the following provisions shall apply:

44

		
	5.3.6.1
	Contractor shall give written notice of the occurrence of the event of Force Majeure to MSG and Project Manager within five (5) Business Days and shall take all steps required by this Agreement to protect the Work.

		
	5.3.6.2
	If MSG agrees that an event of Force Majeure has occurred then, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice, Contractor and MSG shall meet and discuss whether, based on the probable magnitude and duration of the impact of the event of Force Majeure, the delay to the Work for that particular event of Force Majeure is likely to exceed sixty (60) Days.

		
	5.3.6.3
	If the impact of the event of Force Majeure is likely to continue for sixty (60) Days, MSG may direct Contractor and its Subcontractors to demobilize from the Site and MSG shall pay [*****] of the reasonable and actual costs of demobilization of Contractor and its Subcontractors. Contractor shall be responsible for the other [*****] of such costs.

		
	5.3.6.4
	Subject to Section 5.3.6.5, if, after the cessation of the impact of the event of Force Majeure, MSG directs Contractor to remobilize, MSG shall pay [*****] of the reasonable and actual costs of remobilization of Contractor and its Subcontractors. Contractor shall be responsible for the other [*****] of such costs.

		
	5.3.6.5
	If the impacts of the event of Force Majeure continue for longer than the ninety (90) consecutive Days, MSG may terminate this Agreement for its convenience in accordance with Section 18.6.1 hereof and shall owe no further amounts to Contractor or its Subcontractors, other than amounts described in Section 18.6.2 hereof. 

		
	5.3.7
	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Contract Documents to the contrary, Contractor shall not be entitled to an increase in the Incentive Benchmark, or to recover as a Cost of the Work, to the extent that an MSG Act or event of Force Majeure occurs concurrently with a delay attributable to Contractor; or on account of the delay of any Work not on the critical path.

		
	5.3.8
	The requirements set forth in this Section 5.3 are express conditions precedent to Contractor’s right to pursue a claim for an adjustment to the Substantial Completion Date or additional cost. Any adjustment to the Construction Schedule shall be set forth in a Change Order executed by MSG and Contractor.

5.4Contractor’s Recovery Plan.
		
	5.4.1
	In the event that at any time: (a) Contractor, MSG or Project Manager determines, or (b) the Construction Schedule indicates, that Substantial Completion is unlikely to be achieved on or before the Substantial Completion Date, MSG may request Contractor to provide a Recovery Plan within five (5) Business Days of such determination or indication. Such Recovery Plan shall be subject to approval by MSG and shall set forth a reasonably detailed description of the corrective measures Contractor intends to take to recover and expedite the progress of the Work, including, without limitation: (x) working additional shifts or overtime or resequencing the Work; (y) supplying additional manpower, equipment, and facilities; and (z) other similar measures (referred to collectively as “Extraordinary Measures”).

		
	5.4.2
	MSG shall respond within five (5) Business Days of the receipt of the Recovery Plan. MSG shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay MSG’s approval of the submitted Recovery Plan. If MSG disapproves the Recovery Plan (or a portion thereof), Contractor shall resubmit the revised Recovery Plan within five (5) Business Days of the disapproval.

45

		
	5.4.3
	Contractor shall diligently implement each approved Recovery Plan and provide weekly updates thereto to MSG. Such Extraordinary Measures shall continue until the progress of the Work complies with the stage of completion required by the Construction Schedule. MSG’s right to require Extraordinary Measures is solely for the purpose of ensuring Contractor’s compliance with the Construction Schedule.

		
	5.4.4
	Unless an entitlement to an adjustment to the Substantial Completion Date exists pursuant to Section 5.3, Contractor shall not be entitled to an adjustment to the Incentive Benchmark or the Substantial Completion Date in connection with Extraordinary Measures required by MSG under or pursuant to this Section 5.4; provided, however, that Contractor may have the right to seek to use the Allocation pursuant to Section 4.10. To the extent Contractor is entitled to an adjustment to the Substantial Completion Date, MSG shall issue a Change Order that reflects an adjustment to the Incentive Benchmark based on the Cost of the Work incurred in connection with Extraordinary Measures, which payment shall be in lieu of the adjustment to the Substantial Completion Date.

		
	5.4.5
	MSG may exercise the rights furnished to MSG under or pursuant to this Section 5.4 as frequently as MSG deems reasonably necessary to ensure that Contractor’s performance of the Work will comply with the Construction Schedule and ensure the Work achieves Substantial Completion by the Subs.

5.5Liquidated Damages.
5.5.1Contractor acknowledges that:
		
	5.5.1.1
	MSG is incurring substantial and unprecedented costs to construct the Project as a first class, state of the art entertainment venue;

		
	5.5.1.2
	to warrant the incurrence of such costs and the risks being undertaken in connection with the design and construction of the Project, MSG has developed a business plan that will generate substantial revenues and provide substantial new business opportunities that cannot be fully realized if Substantial Completion does not occur by the Substantial Completion Date;

		
	5.5.1.3
	as an essential part of the consideration from Contractor under this Agreement, Contractor has committed to achieve Substantial Completion not later than the Substantial Completion Date, which will allow MSG, among other things, the opportunity to use and enjoy the Facility fully from and after that date; to book, announce and ticket events at the Facility; and to ensure that the Facility can be opened and operated from the date of the first public event, which is essential to the preservation of the goodwill and reputation of MSG, the fulfilment of MSG’s obligations under the Ground Lease and the long term financial success of the Project;

		
	5.5.1.4
	if Substantial Completion does not occur by the Substantial Completion Date, MSG will suffer substantial harm, the damages for which are incapable or very difficult to estimate accurately; will entail substantial cost and inconvenience; and will be difficult for the Parties to prove and calculate; and

		
	5.5.1.5
	the elements of such harm are expected to include, but may not be limited to: (1) lost or substantially diminished revenues from contracts that cannot be performed fully (or at all), and business opportunities that cannot be realized or exploited fully (or at all); (2) substantial harm and damage to the reputation of MSG; (3) substantial harm 

46

to the relationships of MSG with fans, advertisers and sponsors which, among other things, may adversely affect the ability to sell Project inventory (including, but not limited to, booking, announcing and ticketing of admissions, naming rights, advertising, sponsorship, parking and concessions), and to renew sales of Project inventory, at the highest possible prices; (4) diversion of management time; and (5) loss of full and timely use of the Facility and its components to their maximum potential from and after the Substantial Completion Date.
		
	5.5.2
	In light of the acknowledgements set forth in Section 5.5.1, and including without limitation, the difficulty in calculating precisely the damages that MSG would incur, the Parties have agreed that if Substantial Completion is not achieved by the Substantial Completion Date, Contractor shall pay to MSG (by direct payment or offset at the election of MSG) the amounts set forth in Schedule I as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty.

		
	5.5.3
	This Section 5.5 and Schedule I shall survive Final Completion or termination of this Agreement. The Liquidated Damages are intended to be MSG’s sole and exclusive remedy for delay, including any failure by Contractor to achieve Substantial Completion on or before the Substantial Completion Date and/or the Long Stop Completion Date, but shall not: (w) be deemed to cover the cost of completion of the Work; (x) limit any non-delay related damages resulting from Defective Work; (y) limit in any way MSG’s remedies for any other non-delay related breach of this Agreement; or (z) in any way preclude MSG from terminating the Agreement pursuant to Article 18 of this Agreement.

		
	5.5.4
	Contractor specifically acknowledges that the Liquidated Damages are: (1) a reasonable forecast of just compensation for the harm that would be caused to MSG by the failure to achieve Substantial Completion by the Substantial Completion Date and/or the Long Stop Completion Date; (2) reasonable in light of the anticipated or actual harm to be caused to MSG for such failure; (3) accepted practice in the construction industry; and (4) not intended as a penalty.

ARTICLE 6
CHANGES IN THE WORK
6.1Changes Directed by MSG.
		
	6.1.1
	MSG may direct a change that would alter, add to or deduct from the scope of Work (each such change, a “Change”) by submitting to Contractor a written request setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the requested change (each such request, a “Change Request”).

		
	6.1.2
	Promptly after receiving a Change Request from MSG (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receiving such Change Request), Contractor shall provide to MSG Contractor’s reasonable written estimate (a “Change Proposal”) of: (a) the impact of the Change Request, if any, on the Construction Schedule, the Substantial Completion Date and the Long Stop Development Completion Date as demonstrated by critical path analysis; and (b) any effect of the Change Request on Contractor’s ability to comply with any of its obligations hereunder, including any warranty obligations under the Contract Documents.

		
	6.1.3
	The cost of the Change, if any, shall be determined in accordance with Schedule G.

47

		
	6.2
	Review of Change Proposal.

		
	6.2.1
	Within seven (7) Days after receiving a Change Proposal in accordance with Section 6.1.2, MSG shall:

		
	6.2.1.1
	accept the Change Proposal and issue a Change Order to Contractor in accordance with Section 6.5;

		
	6.2.1.2
	notify Contractor that additional information is required for MSG to evaluate such Change Proposal;

		
	6.2.1.3
	issue a Construction Change Directive for that portion of the Change Proposal that MSG accepts; or

		
	6.2.1.4
	reject the Change Proposal.

6.3Construction Change Directives.
		
	6.3.1
	If: (a) a Change Proposal is rejected pursuant to Section 6.2.1.4; (b) the Parties are unable to agree to a modification of such Change Proposal within five (5) Business Days of such rejection; and (c) the requested Change is generally consistent with the scope of services typically provided by similarly-situated contractors for similar projects, then MSG shall have the right to direct Contractor to comply with such Change by delivering a signed, written notice to Contractor (a “Construction Change Directive”).

		
	6.3.2
	MSG shall compensate Contractor on a time-and-materials or unit rates basis in accordance with the compensation rates set forth in the Incentive Benchmark Amendment for the Work performed by Contractor in connection with such Construction Change Directive that are undisputed by MSG. Upon receipt of a Construction Change Directive, Contractor shall promptly proceed with the Change involved. The amount of credit to which MSG is entitled for a Change under a Construction Change Directive that results in a net decrease in the Incentive Benchmark shall be the actual net cost. When both additions and credits covering related Work or substitutions are involved in a Change, the allowance for overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of net increase, if any, with respect to that change. Contractor may submit in its Application for Payment only the cost of the changed Work not in dispute by MSG as set forth in the Construction Change Directive.

		
	6.3.3
	The Parties shall diligently negotiate in good faith and as expeditiously as possible to convert the Construction Change Directive into final terms under a Change Order for the cost and schedule impact associated with the Construction Change Directive. 

		
	6.3.4
	[*****]

6.4Changes Requested by Contractor.
		
	6.4.1
	If (a) Contractor considers that a direction by MSG constitutes a Change, or (b) Contractor considers that a direction by MSG is likely to prevent Contractor from fulfilling any of its obligations, Contractor must notify MSG in what respect it considers the direction to involve a Change or that it is likely to prevent it from fulfilling its obligations. Such notice must be given within ten (10) Business Days of the date of the direction and before Contractor proceeds with the direction and must contain sufficient detail for MSG to assess the request. If Contractor fails to submit such notice as required, Contractor will not be entitled to submit any claim for a Change Order, recover as a Cost of the Work or be entitled to an adjustment to the Incentive Benchmark or to the Substantial Completion Date with respect to the direction.

48

		
	6.4.2
	Within thirty (30) Days of receipt of the notice in Section 6.4.1 above, and which notice complies with the requirements of Section 6.4.1, MSG shall:

		
	6.4.2.1
	issue a Change Order pursuant to Section 6.5; or

		
	6.4.2.2
	issue a written response to Contractor of the reasons the request for a Change Order is unreasonable or explain that additional information and time are necessary to make a determination regarding the request.

		
	6.4.3
	[*****]

6.5Change Orders.
		
	6.5.1
	Upon accepting a Change Proposal, MSG shall issue a formal change order setting forth: (a) the nature of the Change; (b) an adjustment to the Incentive Benchmark (consistent with the adjustments set forth in such Change Proposal), if any; and (c) an adjustment to the Substantial Completion Date, if any, and the Long Stop Development Completion Date, if any (a “Change Order”). All Change Orders shall be executed in writing by MSG and Contractor and shall be in the form attached hereto as Schedule J. All Change Order are subject to the Authorization Matrix in Schedule O. 

6.6Unauthorized Changes.
		
	6.6.1
	No changes to the scope of Work, the Incentive Benchmark or the Substantial Completion Date shall be made, and Contractor shall not be entitled to compensation with respect to such changes to the extent permitted by this Agreement, except in accordance with: (a) a duly issued Change Order executed by both MSG and Contractor; or (b) a Construction Change Directive issued and signed by MSG.

		
	6.6.2
	Notwithstanding anything contained in the Contract Documents to the contrary, Contractor shall have no duty to proceed with Changes issued by MSG pursuant to Section 6.1 to the scope of the Work until such time as there is a fully executed Change Order or Construction Change Directive executed by MSG.

6.7Change Orders Final.
		
	6.7.1
	Contractor agrees that a Change Order constitutes the full and final adjustment for all direct and indirect costs, delays, disruptions, inefficiencies, accelerations, schedule impacts, and other consequences arising from the event or Change that is the subject of the Change Order, as well as the cumulative effect of all Change Orders that have been made up through the date of the Change Order, and that no further adjustments in compensation or time shall be sought or made with respect to such event, Change or cumulative effect.

6.8Unit Prices.
		
	6.8.1
	If unit prices are stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon, and if the quantities originally contemplated are so changed in a proposed Change Order or Construction Change Directive that application of the agreed unit prices to the quantities of Work proposed will cause substantial inequity to MSG or Contractor, the applicable unit prices shall be equitably adjusted.

49

		
	6.9
	Accounting.

		
	6.9.1
	Contractor and all Subcontractors affected by a Change Order or Construction Change Directive being charged on the basis of costs incurred shall maintain itemized accounts showing all relevant charges and credits for additions to, deletions from, or other changes in the Work ordered by MSG which shall at all times be open to inspection by MSG, Project Manager, and Architect.

	7.1.1
	Contractor represents that it has taken steps in accordance with the Standard of Care to ascertain the nature and location of the Work, and that it (a) has investigated and satisfied itself as to the general and local conditions and constraints that are applicable to the Work, such as: (i) conditions bearing on access, transportation, disposal, handling and storage of materials; (ii) the availability of labor, water, power and roads; (iii) normal weather conditions; (iv) physical conditions at, over and adjacent to the Site; (v) the surface conditions of the Site; and (vi) the character of equipment and facilities needed prior to and during the performance of the Work; and (b) has reviewed all documentation and reports provided by or on behalf of MSG, together with documents, reports and other information that are publicly available (collectively, the “Site Conditions”).

		
	7.1.2
	Contractor acknowledges that during performance of the Preconstruction Agreement and LNTP, it was given the opportunity to perform a thorough review of the Site Conditions referred to in Section 7.1 and the surrounding areas to familiarize itself with the conditions on, above and adjacent to the Site, consistent with the Standard of Care. In the event Contractor failed to undertake such a thorough review of the type set out in this Section 7.1.2, Contractor shall be deemed to have known of those Site Conditions which a thorough review reasonably would have detected

7.2Subsurface Conditions
		
	7.2.1
	If Contractor encounters subsurface conditions that were not included in any geotechnical or other reports for the Site provided by MSG and (x) differ materially from those actually known by Contractor on the date the Incentive Benchmark Amendment is executed or should have been known by a Contractor acting in accordance with the Standard of Care; and (y) constitutes an unknown subsurface condition of an unusual nature that differs materially from those ordinarily found to exist in the location of the Site (the “Subsurface Conditions”), then Contractor shall notify MSG promptly before the alleged Subsurface Conditions are disturbed, and in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the first observance of the alleged Subsurface Conditions.

		
	7.2.2
	If Contractor complies with the foregoing notice period and MSG and Project Manager agree that the encountered condition is a Subsurface Conditions, Contractor shall be entitled to recover its actual additional costs as a Cost of the Work, as well as an adjustment to the Incentive Benchmark and the Substantial Completion Date pursuant to Section 5.3 (to the extent the critical path has been impacted).

LIENS

		
	8.1
	To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall not permit any laborer’s, materialmen’s, mechanic’s or other similar liens to be recorded, filed or otherwise imposed on any part of the Work or the property on which the Work is performed by its Subcontractors except for any such laborer’s, materialmen’s, mechanic’s or other similar liens filed or imposed on any part of the Work, or the real property on which the Work is 

50

situated, to the extent of MSG’s failure to pay Contractor amounts that are due and owing (and not disputed) in accordance with the Contract Documents.
		
	8.2
	If any such laborer’s, materialmen’s, mechanic’s, or other similar lien or claim is recorded or filed and if Contractor does not cause such lien to be released or discharged (by payment, bonding or otherwise) within ten (10) Days after written notice from MSG, then MSG shall have the right to pay all sums necessary to obtain such release or discharge and recover such sums from Contractor, including via setoff against amounts to be paid to Contractor.

		
	8.3
	In the event a lien of any type is recorded or filed against the Work, or the real property on which the Work is situated, MSG has the unconditional right to investigate the reason for said lien. If MSG exercises such right, then Contractor shall fully disclose the circumstances surrounding the lien, and Contractor shall require all Subcontractors to comply with this requirement. Contractor shall immediately notify any bonding company or other surety, as applicable, of any lien.

		
	8.4
	Contractor agrees to fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless the MSG Parties from and against any and all Claims resulting from such lien, claim, security interest or other encumbrance. MSG may withhold from any undisputed amount due or to become due to Contractor an amount sufficient to remove and discharge such encumbrance until Contractor has removed and discharged such encumbrance as required by this Article 8.

		
	8.5

	8.6
	Contractor’s obligations and MSG’s rights under this Article 8 shall not apply if the lien, claim, security interest or other encumbrance is based upon an amount that MSG owes Contractor and which MSG has not paid Contractor (other than as a result of the payment being disputed).

ARTICLE 11
SUBCONTRACTORS

11.1Subcontracting - General.
		
	11.1.1
	It is contemplated that substantially all of the Work will be carried out by Subcontractors and that those Subcontractors will be procured by competitive sealed bidding or competitive negotiations. The Subcontractors will be engaged by Contractor pursuant to the Subcontracts. The Subcontract pricing will be based on a time and materials, fixed price or unit price basis as selected by MSG prior to Contractor entering into the Subcontract. A Subcontract may reflect a combination of the foregoing pricing options, as selected by MSG. To the extent a Subcontract price is based on time and materials and/or unit prices, each bid shall be fully transparent, with all component pricing being open book.

11.2Procurement of Subcontractor Bids.
		
	11.2.1
	Contractor shall develop bidder interest in the Project and shall competitively bid the Work of the various Subcontractors in accordance with an open, competitive procurement process and in accordance with the requirements of Applicable Law. Contractor shall structure the bidding process in a manner that is most advantageous to the Project, taking into account all relevant factors including the Incentive Benchmark. The bidding for construction, equipment and Materials must be conducted so as to achieve maximum competition among qualified bidders in order to obtain the most reasonable price, but only from responsive and responsible bidders that can ensure the successful completion of the Work. In the event there are insufficient bidders to create the competition required by MSG, as determined by MSG, Contractor shall seek bids from non-local bidders as well as non-union bidders, to the extent permissible by the terms of the PLA (if any) as mutually agreed upon by MSG and Contractor.

		
	11.2.2
	Contractor shall be responsible for dividing the Work into the Bid Packages, so that all of the Bid Packages taken together provide for the complete performance of the Work, without omissions or gaps, and so that obtaining bids from suitable potential Subcontractors is facilitated. Contractor shall develop and discuss with MSG and Project Manager lists of suitable bidders who should be invited to bid on each Bid Package. Contractor shall not solicit bids from any Person to whom MSG or Project Manager has made reasonable and timely objection. In addition to Subcontractors MSG and Project Manager approve from the foregoing list, Contractor shall solicit bids from any Subcontractor proposed by MSG or Project Manager unless Contractor has a reasonable objection to such proposed Subcontractor and provides MSG and Project Manager with a written statement of such objection within seven (7) Days after MSG or Project Manager has proposed such Subcontractor.

		
	11.2.3
	Contractor shall administer actual solicitation of bids from potential Subcontractors in accordance with the timing and scheduling requirements of MSG and Project Manager. Unless MSG and Project Manager agree otherwise in writing, Contractor shall use best efforts to obtain bids from at least three (3) Subcontractors for Subcontracts where the budgeted amount for the Subcontract is in excess of [*****]. Contractor shall open all quotes, bids and proposals submitted by potential Subcontractors in real time with MSG and Project Manager.

		
	11.2.4
	Contractor shall carefully document its procedures for making available Bid Packages to potential bidders, the contents of each Bid Package, discussions with bidders at any pre-bid meetings, 

54

bidders’ compliance with bid requirements, all bids received, Contractor’s evaluations of all bids, and the basis for Contractor’s recommendation as to which bidders should be chosen. MSG and Project Manager shall be afforded access to all such records at all reasonable times so that, among other things, they may independently confirm Contractor’s adherence to these requirements.
		
	11.2.5
	Contractor shall develop for MSG’s and Project Manager’s review and approval pre-qualification criteria to be used in evaluating bidder suitability in each of the trade categories. Contractor shall prepare for MSG’s and Project Manager’s review and approval a “Request for Pre-Determination of Bidder Qualifications” based upon the approved pre-qualification criteria to be used to solicit bidder responses.

		
	11.2.6
	With respect to any Work on which Contractor or any of its Affiliates shall bid in accordance with Section 11.6, MSG and Project Manager shall approve both the pre-qualification criteria and the list of qualified bidders.

		
	11.2.7
	Contractor shall procure a written statement from each bidder that “the bidder, being duly sworn on oath, represents that he/she has not, nor has any other officer, director, representative, or agent of the bidder represented by him or her, entered into any combination, collusion or other anti-competitive agreement with any person relative to the price to be bid by the bidder, or anyone, for the work or service, nor to prevent any person from bidding, nor to include anyone to refrain from bidding, and that this bid is made without reference to any other bid and without any agreement, understanding or combination with any other person in reference to such bidding. He/she further represents that no person, company or corporation has received or will receive directly or indirectly, any rebate, fee gift, kickback, commission or thing of value on account of such bid.”

11.3Analysis of Subcontractor Bids.
		
	11.3.1
	All bids and responses shall be opened by Contractor in the presence of Project Manager and MSG, and will be made available for review by MSG, Project Manager and Architect.

	11.3.4
	If MSG timely rejects Contractor’s preferred bid and requests the selection of another bid, then Contractor shall comply with such request so long as such other bid substantially complies with the bidding requirements, and shall not, as a result thereof, be entitled to an adjustment to the Incentive Benchmark or the Substantial Completion Date.

	11.5
	Conditional Assignment of Subcontracts with Subcontractors.

		
	11.5.1
	Pursuant to this Agreement, Contractor has conditionally assigned to MSG all the rights, title and interest of Contractor in, to and under any and all Subcontracts. The assignment is exercisable by MSG, at its election, in the event that: (a) MSG has exercised its right to terminate this Agreement due to a Contractor Event of Default, or (b) MSG has exercised its right to terminate this Agreement for convenience pursuant to Section 18.6; or (c) Contractor has exercised its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 18.3.

		
	11.5.2
	Following any assignment, MSG may reassign Subcontracts to another contractor or any other Person, and such assignee may exercise MSG’s rights under the Subcontracts. Each Subcontractor shall, upon written notice of MSG’s exercise by MSG of its rights of assignment (or the portion thereof applicable to the Materials, equipment or services being furnished by such Subcontractor), continue to perform all of such Subcontractor’s obligations, covenants and agreements under such Subcontract for the benefit of MSG.

		
	11.5.3
	To the extent Contractor has received payment from MSG for Work performed and/or Materials and labor supplied by its Subcontractors prior to any such Subcontract assignments, Contractor remains responsible to pay any and all such Subcontractors for all Work performed and/or Materials and labor supplied to Contractor for the Work prior to the date of such assignment unless MSG has elected to make such payment itself, in which case the amount of any such payment shall be paid by Contractor to MSG. When MSG takes assignment of a Subcontract, MSG assumes Contractor’s rights and obligations under the Subcontract from the date of assignment but not for any Claims against Contractor. Notwithstanding the assignment, where MSG’s termination is for a Contractor Event of Default, MSG shall not be responsible for, or release Contractor from, any alleged performance failures that accrued or occurred prior to the date of assignment and Contractor shall indemnify, defend and hold the MSG Parties harmless from and against any and all such Claims or performance failures.

		
	11.5.4
	Each Subcontract entered into by Contractor in connection with the Work shall contain the consent of each Subcontractor to the foregoing assignment and the agreement of each such Subcontractor that, upon written notice from MSG that it has assumed the Subcontract and exercised its rights under this Section 11.5 or portion thereof applicable to the Materials, equipment or services being furnished by such Subcontractor, such Subcontractor, as so requested by MSG, shall continue to perform all of such Party’s obligations, covenants and agreements under Subcontractor’s Subcontract with Contractor for the benefit of MSG.

11.6Self-Performed Work.
		
	11.6.1
	Neither Contractor nor any of its Affiliates shall bid on any Bid Package unless MSG has given its express prior written approval. If MSG does approve such bidding by Contractor or any of its Affiliates, Contractor, or its Affiliates, shall be permitted to submit a sealed bid for such Work pursuant to the competitive bidding procedures applicable to all bidders. Also, in such instance, the opening, review and advice with respect to award and/or rejection of such bids shall be handled solely by MSG and Project Manager. The following requirements shall also apply if Contractor or its Affiliates desire to bid on a Bid Package:

		
	11.6.1.1
	Contractor or its Affiliate shall review the Work included in such Bid Package (including the bid packaging plan) with MSG and Architect prior to finalizing the Bid Package;

58

		
	11.6.1.2
	there shall be a strict separation of the personnel of Contractor or its Affiliate involved with bidding on such Work and Contractor’s other personnel involved in the Project, and Contractor shall, by written policy distributed to all affected personnel (a copy of which shall be delivered to MSG), strictly prohibit any communication prior to bid award among personnel involved with the estimating, bidding, management or other services in connection with such Work and personnel working on other aspects of this Project pursuant to this Agreement (other than such communication as is permitted by all bidders);

		
	11.6.1.3
	if less than two other bids from responsible bidders are submitted for such Work, MSG, at its option, may disqualify Contractor or its Affiliate from award of the bid for such Work and, in MSG’s discretion, may cause the Bid Package with respect to such Work to be re-bid;

		
	11.6.1.4
	Contractor shall not participate in the analysis and/or recommendations with respect to the award of any Subcontract for such Work, and all inquiries shall be forwarded to MSG or Project Manager;

		
	11.6.1.5
	Contractor or its Affiliate shall not, in its bid, use any of the General Conditions Work to support such Work or use the General Conditions Work for such Work, on any terms or conditions different from the terms or conditions on which such General Conditions Work are made available to all other bidders; and

		
	11.6.1.6
	the solicitation for bids for such Work shall specifically state that Contractor or its Affiliate shall have the right to submit a sealed bid on such Work.

		
	11.6.2
	If the foregoing procedures are not strictly followed, then MSG shall have the right to reject the bid of Contractor or its Affiliates for such Work. Any rejection of a bid or required re-bid under this Section 11.6 shall not be the basis for recovery as a Cost of the Work or an adjustment to the Incentive Benchmark or the Date for Substantial Completion or the Long Stop Completion Date.

11.7[*****] 
ARTICLE 12
WORK BY MSG OR BY SEPARATE CONTRACTORS

12.1MSG’s Right to Perform Work and to Award Separate Contracts.
		
	12.1.1
	MSG reserves the right to perform work related to the Project with MSG’s own forces, and to award separate contracts in connection with other portions of the Project or other work on the Site.

		
	12.1.2
	When separate contracts are awarded for different portions of the Project or work on the Site, the term “Contractor” in the Contract Documents with respect to such portions of the Project or other work shall mean the Separate Contractor who executes each separate contract with MSG.

		
	12.1.3
	If Separate Contractors are retained by MSG to perform work at the Project, the Separate Contractors shall be required to comply with Contractor’s safety program and Site security requirements. The requirements under this Section 12.1.3 shall be included by MSG in any agreements with Separate Contractors performing work at the Project.

12.2Mutual Responsibility.
		
	12.2.1
	This Section 12.2 is without limitation of Section 2.1. Contractor shall coordinate performance of the Work by the Contractor Parties with the work of MSG’s Separate Contractors so as to minimize 

59

delay or disruption to the Work. Contractor shall afford Separate Contractors reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of their materials and equipment on Site and for the execution of their services, and shall properly connect and coordinate the Work with the services of such Separate Contractors.
		
	12.2.2
	If any part of the Work depends upon the proper performance of work of any Separate Contractor, Contractor shall, prior to proceeding with that portion of the Work, inspect and measure the work of the Separate Contractor and promptly report to MSG and Project Manager any apparent discrepancy or defects in such other work that are actually discovered by Contractor. Contractor’s failure to inspect and make such report shall constitute an acceptance of the Separate Contractor’s work as fit and proper for the proper execution of the Work by Contractor, except for latent or concealed defects.

		
	12.2.3
	Contractor shall reimburse MSG for costs MSG incurs that are payable to a Separate Contractor because of Contractor’s delays, improperly timed activities or defective construction; provided, however, that the Separate Contractors have fulfilled their obligations to coordinate their work pursuant to the terms of their separate contracts. MSG shall be responsible to Contractor for costs Contractor incurs because of a Separate Contractor’s delays, improperly timed activities, damage to the Work or defective construction; provided, however, that Contractor has fulfilled its obligations to coordinate performance of the Work pursuant to Section 12.2.1.

		
	12.2.4
	If a Contractor Party causes damage to the Work or the property of MSG or the work on property of a Separate Contractor, then, notwithstanding any builder’s risk insurance, Contractor shall promptly remedy such damage as provided in Section 14.2; provided, however, that nothing herein prevents either Party’s right to recover the proceeds from insurance.

		
	12.2.5
	If any Separate Contractor sues or initiates a court proceeding against any MSG Party on account of any delay, damage or loss alleged to have been caused by a Contractor Party, then MSG shall notify Contractor, who shall defend such proceedings at Contractor’s expense, and if any judgment or award against an MSG Party arises therefrom, then Contractor shall pay or satisfy the portion of such judgment or award attributable to the delay, damage or loss determined to have been caused by a Contractor Party, and Contractor shall reimburse the MSG Party for attorneys’ fees and costs for defending any action and court or arbitration costs which the MSG Party has incurred as a result of a delay, damage or loss determined to have been caused by a Contractor Party; provided, however, that Contractor’s liability with respect to any such indemnification obligations shall be reduced to the extent the MSG Party actually receives proceeds from the builder’s risk or any other applicable insurance maintained with respect to the Project.

12.3Changes to Construction Schedule.
		
	12.3.1
	MSG shall have the right to direct a postponement or rescheduling of any date or time for the performance of any part of the Work that may interfere with the operations of Separate Contractors or MSG’s agents or employees. Contractor shall, upon request by MSG or Project Manager, reschedule any portion of the Work affecting Separate Contractors. Contractor may be entitled to an equitable adjustment to the Substantial Completion Date and Incentive Benchmark in connection with any such postponement, rescheduling, or performance of the Work under this Section 12.3.

12.4MSG’s Right to Clean Up.
		
	12.4.1
	If a dispute arises between Contractor and Separate Contractors as to their responsibility for cleaning up as required by Section 3.20, MSG may clean up and allocate the cost thereof among those responsible therefor as MSG reasonably determines to be just.

60

ARTICLE 13
PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION
13.1Payment Process.
		
	13.1.1
	Contractor shall submit its Application for Payments to and receive payment from MSG as set forth in this Article 13.

		
	13.1.2
	With regard to its Subcontractors, Contractor will be utilizing the Textura-CPMTM payment management system.  All Applications for Payment and supporting documentation (including but not limited to lien waivers, sworn statements, and the like) for Subcontractors shall be in electronic format and shall be submitted to Contractor using the Textura-CPMTM payment management system.  Throughout the performance of the Work and for a period of three (3) years after Final Completion of the Work, Contractor shall provide MSG online access to the Textura-CPMTM payment management system including for purposes of reviewing the Subcontractors’ payment submissions, together with all supporting documentation, and reviewing the status of payments to Subcontractors generally. Fees directly attributable to the use by Contractor and its Subcontractors of the Textura-CPMTM payment management system on the Project are recoverable as a Cost of the Work; provided, however, that (a) MSG shall not be charged any incremental cost for MSG’s or MSG’s representatives’ use of the Textura-CPMTM payment management system, and (b) Contractor shall not be entitled to recover any Fee on such Cost of the Work.  

13.2Schedule of Values.
		
	13.2.1
	Before the first Application for Payment, Contractor shall submit to MSG and Project Manager a Schedule of Values allocated to the various portions of the Work, prepared in the form required by the Agreement and the Specifications. The Schedule of Values shall be prepared in such form and supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as MSG and Project Manager may require. This Schedule of Values, unless objected to by Project Manager or MSG, shall be used only as a basis for reviewing Contractor’s Applications for Payment.

		
	13.2.2
	The Schedule of Values:

		
	13.2.2.1
	shall be prepared in such a manner that each major item of Work is shown as a single line item;

		
	13.2.2.2
	shall allocate the entire Incentive Benchmark among the various portions of the Work, except that each of the Contractor’s Fee, the General Conditions Costs, the General Requirements Expenses and all Allowances, shall be shown as a single, separate item. Contractor will provide a listing of the Work items and the code costing items to be shown on the Schedule of Values, which listing shall meet the approval and shall be subject to revision by MSG and Project Manager.

13.3Progress Payments; Applications for Payment.
		
	13.3.1
	The period covered by each Application for Payment shall be one calendar month ending on the last Day of the month.

		
	13.3.2
	On or before the twenty-fifth (25th) Day of each month (or if the twenty-fifth (25th) Day is a weekend, the first Business Day thereafter), Contractor shall submit to MSG, Project Manager and Architect a pencil draft Application for Payment for the then current month, together with the required supporting data, for the Work performed and expected to be performed through the end of the then current month. Contractor shall revise the pencil draft Application for Payment based on any comments received from Project Manager or MSG and submit the final Application for 

61

Payment by the first (1st) Day of the following month (or if the first (1st) Day is a weekend, the first Business Day thereafter) to MSG and Project Manager, together with the required supporting data, for all Work performed through the end of the previous month.
		
	13.3.3
	Applications for Payment shall not include requests for payment for portions of the Work for which Contractor does not intend to pay a Subcontractor, unless such Work has been performed by others whom Contractor intends to pay in lieu of the original Subcontractor. Applications for Payment shall be reflective of all taxes specified in Section 4.8.1.4. Contractor shall not submit for Project Manager’s and MSG’s review and approval any Application for Payment which is incomplete, inaccurate or lacks the detail, specificity or supporting documentation required in this Agreement.

		
	13.3.4
	Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, payments shall be made on account of Materials and equipment to be incorporated into the Work when advance procurement of such Materials and equipment is needed to maintain the sequence of the Work and such Materials and equipment have been delivered to and safely stored and protected at the Site. Payments may similarly be made for such Materials or equipment suitably stored and protected at a location other than the Site if and only to the extent that MSG has first approved in writing the storage of such Materials and equipment at such other location, with such approval being conditioned on Contractor’s representation that (a) Contractor has inspected the Material and found it to be free from defects and otherwise in conformity with the Contract Documents; and (b) the Materials are insured, under the builder’s all risk policy or otherwise. Payments for Materials or equipment stored on or off the Site in accordance with this Section 13.3.4 shall be conditioned upon submission by Contractor of bills of sale or such other procedures satisfactory to MSG to establish MSG’s title to such Materials or equipment and to otherwise protect MSG’s interest therein and to provide MSG with a perfected first priority security interest in such Materials or equipment to the extent MSG’s title in such Materials or equipment is deemed to create a security interest or is otherwise sufficient to secure MSG’s absolute right and title to such Materials and equipment, including applicable insurance and transportation to the Site for those Materials and equipment stored off the Site.

		
	13.3.5
	Without limiting its obligations pursuant to Section 14.2.4, Contractor shall bear the risk of loss of such Materials and equipment at all times while such Materials and equipment are stored off the Site and during transportation to the Site, and Contractor shall be responsible for the proper care, storage, preservation, protection and (to the extent required by this Agreement) insurance of all such Materials and equipment. Materials and equipment stored off the Site shall be appropriately tagged and segregated in order to further protect MSG’s interest therein prior to delivery thereof to the Site. To the extent MSG has paid Contractor for such Materials and equipment, Contractor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to MSG delivery of all Materials and equipment stored off the Site as aforesaid, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and Contractor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the MSG Parties from and against all Claims arising or resulting, directly or indirectly, from such storage of Materials and equipment off-the Site or from the failure of any such Subcontractor, materialman or Supplier to deliver such Materials and equipment to MSG as and when called for by MSG or Contractor. Contractor waives and releases any Claims it may have against MSG, either directly or indirectly (including through any right of subrogation), for damage to, destruction of, or loss of, Materials or equipment stored off the Site. Nothing in this Section 13.3.5 is intended to prevent either Party’s rights to recover the proceeds of insurance.

		
	13.3.6
	Contractor warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, Materials, and equipment covered by an Application for Payment, regardless of whether then incorporated in the Project, will, and such title shall, pass to MSG free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances (other than any statutory liens arising as an operation of law) no later than the time of payment for such Work, Materials, or equipment.

62

		
	13.3.7
	Contractor further warrants that upon submittal of an Application for Payment, all Work for which Certificates for Payment have been previously issued and paid shall, to the best of Contractor’s knowledge, information and belief, be free and clear of liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances in favor of Contractor, Subcontractors, or other persons or entities making a claim by reason of having provided labor, Materials and equipment relating to the Work.

		
	13.3.8
	Without MSG’s prior written consent, Contractor shall not: (x) remove any Materials or equipment from the Site; or (y) attempt to sell, donate, lease or otherwise convey to itself or a third party title in any Materials or equipment that: (i) constitute a portion of the Work; (ii) are the property of MSG; or (iii) existed at the Site prior to Contractor’s commencement of the Work.

		
	13.3.9
	Nothing in this Section 13.3 shall be construed as relieving Contractor of any obligation or liability with respect any Work for which payment has been made, or any obligation to restore any damaged Work that may exist, or as a waiver of the right of MSG to require the fulfillment of any requirement of the Contract Documents. Regardless of payment hereunder, until any item of Work, any Material, or any piece of equipment is accepted by MSG in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, Contractor shall have custody over such item of Work, such Material, or such piece of equipment, as applicable, and shall bear the risk of loss with respect thereto, except to the extent of any insurance proceeds received by MSG in connection with any such loss.

		
	13.3.10
	At the request of MSG from time to time, Contractor shall provide a written statement to MSG for the benefit of Project Manager, Architect and MSG that sets forth the total estimated cost of all remaining Work that needs to be completed to achieve Final Completion with respect to the entire Work. Such statement shall contain sufficient information to allow Project Manager, Architect and MSG to reasonably determine whether or not the Work can be completed for the remaining unpaid portion of the Incentive Benchmark. No such statement shall relieve Contractor of its obligations to complete the Work by the Substantial Completion Date.

		
	13.3.11
	Documents to be Submitted with Each Application for Payment. Contractor shall include the following with each Application for Payment, together with any other information and documentation as may be reasonably requested by MSG:

		
	13.3.11.1
	(a) a conditional waiver and release of lien upon progress payment from Contractor, in the form attached hereto as Schedule M, in the total amount of the progress payment being requested; (b) a conditional waiver and release of lien upon progress payment from each Subcontractor (and sub-subcontractors) with a Subcontract value of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) or more, in the form attached hereto as Schedule M, for the amount sought by Contractor for each Subcontractor; (c) an unconditional waiver and release of lien upon progress payment from Contractor, in the form attached hereto as Schedule M; and (d) an unconditional waiver and release of lien upon progress payment from each Subcontractor (and sub-subcontractors) with a Subcontract value of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) or more, in the form attached hereto as Schedule M. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing threshold for Subcontractor lien waivers and releases does not limit Contractor’s obligations pursuant to Article 8;

		
	13.3.11.2
	a sworn statement listing: (a) the names, addresses, and federal taxpayer identification numbers of all parties furnishing materials, labor or services in connection with the Work, (b) the materials, labor or services to be furnished by each such party; (c) the amounts actually paid to each party furnishing materials, labor or services; (d) the amounts due or to become due to each such party; (e) the taxes required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.8.1.4 (and that such taxes are 

63

reflective of all the taxes required to be paid), and (f) a statement that said sworn statement is made in order to induce MSG to make the payment requested;
		
	13.3.11.3
	payrolls, petty cash accounts, receipted invoices or invoices with check vouchers attached, and any other evidence reasonably required by MSG to demonstrate that cash disbursements already made by Contractor on account of Cost of the Work, including those made prior to the execution of the Incentive Benchmark Amendment, equal or exceed: (a) progress and other payments already received by Contractor, including those made prior to the execution of the Incentive Benchmark Amendment; less (b) that portion of those payments attributable to Contractor’s Fee; plus (c) payrolls for the period covered by the present Application for Payment; plus (d) retainage withheld in accordance with Section 13.9, if any, applicable to prior progress payments (including any retainage withheld prior to the execution of the Incentive Benchmark Amendment), less back-charges or other credits or offsets for Contractor pursuant to Subcontracts;

		
	13.3.11.4
	a statement by Contractor certifying that, to the best of its information and belief no Subcontractor has a Claim or has asserted a Claim arising from or in connection with the Work, other than any Claim that has been fully paid and duly released or is included in the current Application for Payment, or, if Contractor knows or believes that there present facts or circumstances that could give rise to a Claim or that a Claim has been or may be asserted or made, the statement shall disclose the estimated amount of any potential Claim and/or disclose the Claim to the extent known by stating the name of the claimant or potential claimant, a description of the Work for which payment is claimed and the amount of such Claim if known;

		
	13.3.11.5
	an updated Schedule of Values showing all committed Subcontracts and expenses to date;

		
	13.3.11.6
	a copy of the application for payment from each Subcontractor for whom payment is being sought; and

		
	13.3.11.7
	permit logs, insurance logs (for Contractor and Subcontractors of all tiers) and logs showing receipt of the lien waivers required by Section 13.16.4.

		
	13.3.12
	Incomplete/Uncertified Applications for Payment. Only that portion of an Application for Payment that is supported by the documentation required under Section 13.3.11 shall be processed for payment. No payment on the account of any Application for Payment shall be made until MSG has approved and Project Manager has issued a Certificate for Payment with respect to such Application for Payment or a portion thereof. A complete and certified Application for Payment, or a portion thereof, shall be referred to as an “Approved Application for Payment.”

13.4Certificates For Payment.
		
	13.4.1
	Following assessment of the Application for Payment by MSG, Project Manager will, within twelve (12) Days after the receipt of the Application for Payment: (a) issue a Certificate for Payment to MSG for distribution to Contractor for such amounts as Project Manager and MSG have determined are properly due; and/or (b) notify Contractor of the reasons for withholding certification of all or a portion of the payments requested in such Application for Payment in accordance with Section 13.6. In the event that Project Manager issues a Certificate for Payment to MSG, MSG will make payment to Contractor of the amounts determined to be properly due and payable (and not disputed) within nine (9) Days of receipt of the Certificate for Payment.

64

		
	13.4.2
	Upon direction from MSG, Project Manager may withhold a Certificate for Payment in whole or in part or, because of subsequently discovered evidence, may nullify in whole or in part a Certificate for Payment previously issued, in each case to the extent reasonably necessary to protect MSG from loss or damage for which Contractor is responsible.

13.5Calculation of Progress Payments.
		
	13.5.1
	Subject to other provisions of the Contract Documents and the reconciliation set forth in the Incentive Benchmark Amendment, the amount of each progress payment after the Incentive Benchmark Amendment is executed shall be computed as follows:

		
	13.5.1.1
	Take the Cost of the Work for the Work performed during the month prior to the Application for Payment being submitted.

		
	13.5.1.2

13.12Payment Not Evidence.
		
	13.12.1
	Neither a Certificate for Payment nor a progress payment, nor any partial or entire use or occupancy of the Work prior to Substantial Completion of the Work, shall constitute an acceptance by MSG of any Work that is not in accordance with the Contract Documents.

Contractor will furnish MSG with statements of such expenditures, together with complete documentary back‐up therefor, 

67

	All Records and Reports shall be retained by each Reporting Person for five (5) years after Final Completion.

	13.14.5
	In those situations where records have been generated from computerized data (whether mainframe, mini-computer, or PC based computer systems), MSG, or MSG’s representative, shall be provided with extracts of data files in computer readable format on data disks or suitable alternative computer exchange formats.

13.15Substantial Completion.
		
	13.15.1
	When Contractor considers the Work (or portions thereof) to have achieved Substantial Completion, Contractor shall so notify Project Manager and MSG in writing and prepare for Project Manager and MSG: (a) a Punchlist; and (b) a schedule for completing all Punchlist Items on such Punchlist.

		
	13.15.2
	Contractor shall develop, in conjunction with MSG and Project Manager, a schedule setting forth anticipated dates for inspections of the Work by MSG, Project Manager and Architect in order to determine Substantial Completion of the Work and agree upon the Punchlist Items and the schedule for their completion. Architect, Project Manager and MSG shall inspect the Work. If, after making such inspection, Architect, Project Manager and MSG determine that the Work has not achieved Substantial Completion or that previously scheduled Punchlist Items have not been completed, then Contractor shall complete or rectify the elements of the Work that Project Manager, Architect and MSG identified as requiring completion or rectification in order for the Work to achieve Substantial Completion. Contractor shall thereafter notify MSG and Project Manager that it 

68

considers the Work to have achieved Substantial Completion and the process set forth in this Section 13.15.2 shall repeat until such time as Substantial Completion is achieved.
		
	13.15.3
	When Project Manager, Architect and MSG, on the basis of inspections and otherwise, determine all of the criteria for Substantial Completion have been met, and the Punchlist Items have been agreed, Project Manager will prepare, upon MSG’s direction, a Certificate of Substantial Completion in the form attached hereto as Schedule P that establishes the date of Substantial Completion and attaches the Punchlist.

		
	13.15.4
	After Substantial Completion, and upon application by Contractor and certification by Architect and Project Manager, MSG shall make payment for the Work performed in the month preceding Substantial Completion, including the return of retainage pursuant to Section 13.9.2.2.

		
	13.15.5
	After Project Manager issues the Certificate of Substantial Completion, Contractor shall complete the Punchlist Items as well as any other activities or deliverables for Final Completion within the agreed deadline for Final Completion, which deadline shall be not later than six (6) months from the date of Substantial Completion; provided that Contractor shall not interfere with MSG’s operations, including the hosting and operation of events, during the period for completion of the Punchlist Items. When Contractor believes that the Punchlist Items have been completed, Contractor shall notify Project Manager and Architect, who shall then inspect such Punchlist Items. If Project Manager or Architect determines that any such Punchlist Item has not been completed in accordance with the Contract Documents, then Project Manager shall notify MSG and Contractor and Contractor shall re-perform such Punchlist Items. The process set forth in this Section 13.15.5 shall then be repeated until all Punchlist Items have been completed in accordance with the Contract Documents.

		
	13.15.6
	Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence on the date of Substantial Completion of the entirety of the Work unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial Completion.

13.16Final Completion and Final Payment.
		
	13.16.1
	Contractor shall notify MSG, Project Manager and Architect in writing when it believes the Work has achieved Final Completion and is ready for final inspection and acceptance, and shall also forward to MSG, Project Manager and Architect a final Application for Payment that complies with the requirements of Article 13. Upon receipt, Architect, Project Manager and MSG will promptly make such inspection. When Architect, Project Manager and MSG find that the Work has achieved Final Completion, Project Manager will, upon MSG’s direction, issue a Certificate of Final Completion that will approve the final payment due to Contractor and Contractor shall promptly remove any remaining tools, equipment or Materials so as to be completely demobilized from the Site, other than as may be necessary to satisfy its obligations pursuant to Section 17.2.8 and its warranty obligations.

		
	13.16.2
	It is a precondition to Final Completion (and thereby MSG’s obligation to make final payment) that Contractor has furnished to MSG: (a) an affidavit stating that to Contractor’s best knowledge, information and belief, all payrolls, bills for Materials and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which MSG or MSG’s property might be responsible or encumbered (less amounts withheld by MSG) have been paid or otherwise satisfied or will be paid or otherwise satisfied upon receipt of final payment; (b) 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 thirty (30) Days’ prior written notice has been given to MSG; (c) a written statement that Contractor knows of no substantial reason that the insurance will not be renewable to cover the period required by the Contract Documents; (d) all Project Closeout 

69

Documents; (e) consent of surety, if any, to final payment; (f) a conditional waiver and release of lien upon final payment from Contractor and each Subcontractor in the form attached as Schedule M, conditioned upon receipt of final payment; and (g) if required by MSG, other reasonable data establishing payment or satisfaction of obligations, such as receipts, releases and waivers of claims, security interests or encumbrances arising out of the Work, to the extent and in such form as may be reasonably designated by MSG. If any lien remains unsatisfied after all payments are made, Contractor shall refund to MSG all reasonable costs that the latter may be compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Provided all of the foregoing conditions are satisfied, final payment will be made in thirty (30) Days of receipt of the final Application for Payment.
		
	13.16.3
	Contractor’s final Application for Payment shall be assessed in accordance with Article 13 and MSG shall make final payment to Contractor in accordance with Article 13, including any retainage still held by MSG. Acceptance of final payment shall constitute a waiver by Contractor and each Subcontractor of all Claims, except for any Claims identified as unsettled in the final Application for Payment.

		
	13.16.4
	Within ten (10) Business Days after final payment, Contractor shall deliver an unconditional waiver and release upon final payment from Contractor and each Subcontractor in the form attached hereto as Schedule M.

	Contractor is responsible for compliance with any requirements included in the Contract Documents and all Applicable Laws regarding Hazardous Materials. To the extent Contractor encounters Hazardous Materials at the Site not addressed in the Contract Documents, Contractor shall notify MSG promptly, and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after Contractor first encounters such Hazardous Materials and cease performance of the Work.

	14.1.3
	MSG shall not be responsible under this Section 14.1 for Hazardous Materials Contractor brings to the Site unless such Hazardous Materials are required by the Contract Documents. MSG shall be responsible for Hazardous Materials or substances required by the Contract Documents, except to the extent of Contractor’s fault or negligence in the use and handling of such materials or substances.

70

		
	14.1.4
	Subject to the terms of this Article 14, Contractor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the MSG Parties from Claims arising out of or in connection with (1) remediation of a Hazardous Material Contractor brings to the Site and negligently handles, or (2) Contractor’s failure to perform its obligations under Section 14.1.1, except to the extent that the cost and expense are due to MSG’s fault or negligence.

		
	14.1.5
	To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, MSG agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Contractor Parties from and against Claims arising out of performance of the Work in the affected area if in fact the Hazardous Material has not been rendered harmless in accordance with Section 14.1.1 and causes or is alleged to have caused bodily injury or death.

		
	14.1.6
	The Substantial Completion Date and Incentive Benchmark shall be adjusted accordingly for time and cost impacts attributed to Hazardous Materials discovered at the Site pursuant to this Section 14.1 and Contractor shall be entitled to recover the cost as a Cost of the Work as expressly permitted by this Section 14.1.

14.2Safety Precautions and Programs.
		
	14.2.1
	Contractor shall be responsible for initiating, maintaining and supervising all safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work.

	14.2.2
	Contractor shall monitor and have overall responsibility for the compliance of its employees, Subcontractors, and any other Persons on the Site with: (a) the Safety Program; and (b) all applicable regulatory and advisory agency construction safety standards of any Governmental Authority.

		
	14.2.3
	Contractor shall take all reasonable precautions for the safety of:

		
	14.2.3.1
	all Persons involved in performing, overseeing or supervising performance of the Work, all Persons on the Site and all other Persons who may be affected thereby;

		
	14.2.3.2
	all owners and tenants of Adjacent Property, and their patrons, employees and other invitees, and

		
	14.2.4
	Contractor is responsible for the care of the Work until Substantial Completion is achieved, as evidenced by a Certificate of Substantial Completion, and thereafter for the care of outstanding Work and items to be removed from the Site, and for any damage caused by Contractor or a Subcontractor in the course of completing their obligations under this Agreement. Nothing herein is intended to deprive the Parties of their rights to recover the proceeds of any applicable insurance. Contractor shall provide all reasonable protection to prevent damage, injury or loss from the Work to:

		
	14.2.4.1
	all of the Work, whether in storage on or off the Site, under the care, custody or control of Contractor or any of Contractor’s Subcontractors;

		
	14.2.4.2
	other property at the Site or on Adjacent Property, including trees, shrubs, lawns, walks, pavements, roadways, structures, buildings and utilities not designated for removal, relocation or replacement in the course of construction; and

	14.2.7
	Contractor shall promptly remedy all damage or loss to any property or Work referred to in Sections 14.2.4 caused by any Contractor Party, except damage or loss attributable to the acts or omissions of MSG, Architect, Project Manager, Separate Contractors or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or by anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable. The foregoing obligations of Contractor are in addition to Contractor’s obligations under Article 15. Nothing in this Section 14.2.7 is intended to deprive Contractor of its insurance rights or other recovery rights, if any, under the Contract Documents.

		
	14.2.8
	Contractor shall designate a responsible and qualified member of Contractor’s organization at the Site whose sole duty shall be the manager of the Safety Program.

		
	14.2.9
	Contractor shall report in writing to MSG, Project Manager and other MSG personnel as may be directed by MSG from time to time, all accidents arising out of or in connection with the Work which cause death, personal injury or property damage, giving full details and statements of witnesses. Contractor shall submit its report to MSG and Project Manager within three (3) Days after the occurrence. In addition, if death or serious personal injuries or serious property damage are caused, the accident shall be reported immediately by telephone or messenger to MSG and Project Manager.

		
	14.2.10
	Contractor shall review the safety programs of each of the Subcontractors to make sure they comply with the Safety Program. The performance of such services by Contractor shall not relieve Subcontractor of its responsibility for the safety of persons and property, and for any compliance with all Applicable Laws. Contractor is responsible for any and all the safety issues relating to the Work on the Project by Contractor and its Subcontractors, including any personal injuries or death. Contractor shall administer and manage the safety program. This will include, but not necessarily be limited to review of the safety programs of each Subcontractor. Contractor shall monitor the establishment and execution of effective safety practices then known to the industry, as applicable to Work on this Project, and the compliance with all applicable regulatory and advisory agency construction safety standards. As between Contractor and its Subcontractors, Contractor’s responsibility for review, monitoring and coordination of its Subcontractors’ safety programs shall not extend to direct control over execution of the Subcontractors’ safety programs.  Notwithstanding Contractor’s safety obligations to MSG, it is agreed and understood that each individual Subcontractor shall remain the controlling employer responsible for the safety programs and precautions applicable to the work of its own employees and the activities of employees of other contractors in areas designated to be controlled by such Subcontractor; provided, however, that nothing herein shall reduce or impact Contractor’s responsibility with respect to MSG for safety in the performance of the Work.

		
	14.2.11
	Any suspension of Work by MSG related to Contractor’s failure to comply with its safety obligations set forth under Section 14.2, including the failure of any individual to comply with the Contractor’s Safety Program, shall be considered a suspension for cause.

14.4Security.
		
	14.4.1
	Contractor is responsible at all times for the Work and for the Project Site regardless of whether or not MSG has required any insurance coverages (such as builder’s risk insurance) which would have protected the interests of MSG and Contractor. Contractor shall take reasonable precautions against all conditions involving risk of damage, injury, loss or theft. Contractor shall cooperate with MSG and Lessor on all security matters and requirements established by MSG or Lessor. Such compliance shall not relieve Contractor of its responsibility for maintaining proper security or taking action to maintain secure conditions at the Site. Contractor shall prepare and maintain accurate reports of incidents of loss, theft or vandalism and shall furnish these reports to MSG in a timely manner.

14.5Trade Monitoring
		
	14.5.1
	Contractor acknowledges that MSG shall have one or more representatives present at the entrance to the Site through which labor enters and exits. MSG’s representative shall be present at the entrance for the purpose of keeping a log of Persons who enter and exit the Site on a daily basis. Contractor acknowledges that the performance of this role by MSG’s representative is for MSG’s benefit only and does not detract from any obligation of Contractor under the Contract Documents, including the obligation to retain its own records as to the presence of Subcontractors, or Persons, on the Site on a daily basis. Nor does MSG’s presence at the gate amount to MSG having control over the gate or the labor entering or exiting through the gate, or for safety requirements, which responsibility and control remains with the Contractor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

		
	14.5.2
	To the fullest extent permitted by law, MSG may require the labor to wear radio frequency identification or other recording devices to monitor their presence and movement around the site, which data shall be recorded by resource monitoring and reporting services. MSG may also introduce such other integrity monitoring measures as it deems necessary or advisable. Contractor shall include in each Subcontract the right of MSG to require the measures set forth in this Section 14.5.

	In the event that any Claim is made or an action or proceeding is brought against one or more of the MSG Parties, any such MSG Party may, by notice to Contractor, require Contractor, at Contractor’s expense, to resist such Claim or take over the defense of any such action or proceeding and employ counsel for such purpose. Any counsel chosen by Contractor is subject to the MSG Party’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or denied.

		
	15.1.5
	Contractor shall not enter into any settlement or compromise in connection with an indemnified claim without the MSG Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

		
	15.1.6
	If any Claim is brought against an MSG Party by any employee of any Contractor Party, Contractor’s obligation to indemnify the MSG Party under this Article 15 shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for Contractor or any Subcontractor under workers’ or workmen’s compensation acts, disability benefit acts or other employee benefit acts.

		
	15.1.7
	The indemnity obligations set forth under this Article 15: (i) are independent of, and will not be limited by, any insurance obligations in the Contract Documents (whether or not complied with) or level of damages; (ii) are not diminished or limited in any way by any insurance carried in whole or in part by MSG, which shall in all cases function as excess of these indemnification obligations; and (iii) will survive the termination of this Agreement until all matters covered by the indemnity obligations under this Article 15 are fully and finally barred by Applicable Law. To the extent the indemnity obligations under this Article 15 are unenforceable under Applicable Law, the obligations shall not be void but instead shall be modified and amended to the minimum extent necessary to bring such obligations into conformity with the Applicable Law. The obligations, as modified, shall continue in full force and effect.

MSG, Architect or Project Manager uncover such portion of the Work for observation and shall replace and restore such Work at Contractor’s expense and not as a Cost of the Work.
		
	17.1.2
	If any other portion of the Work has been covered, then Architect, Project Manager or MSG may request to see such Work and it shall be uncovered by Contractor. If such Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents, then the cost of uncovering and replacement shall be a Cost of the Work, and the Incentive Benchmark shall be equitably adjusted via Change Order. If such Work is not in accordance with the Contract Documents, then Contractor shall pay such costs and shall not be entitled to recover them as a Cost of the Work.

17.2Correction of Work.
		
	17.2.1
	Contractor warrants to MSG that:

		
	17.2.1.1
	any and all materials, equipment and furnishings incorporated into the Work shall be of good quality and new unless otherwise required or permitted by the Contract Documents;

		
	17.2.1.2
	that the Work shall be free from defects not inherent in the quality required or permitted;

		
	17.2.1.3
	and that the Work shall conform with the requirements of Applicable Laws and the Contract Documents;

		
	17.2.1.4
	it will not, and will not allow any Subcontractor to, install any product or perform any procedure which voids any warranty.

Work not conforming to these requirements, including substitutions not properly approved and authorized, shall be considered Defective Work, the cost of rectification of which may be recoverable from the Allocation in accordance with Section 4.10 but otherwise not recoverable as a Cost of the Work. The above warranty excludes: (a) damage or defect caused by abuse, modifications not executed by Contractor, improper or insufficient maintenance, or improper operation; and (b) normal wear and tear under normal usage.
		
	17.2.2
	Prior to the Substantial Completion Date, Contractor shall correct Work, or cause its Subcontractors to correct Work, that: (a) MSG, in a written notice delivered to Contractor, reasonably rejects as being Defective Work; or (b) Contractor recognizes is Defective Work. If other portions of the Work are adversely affected or damaged by such Defective Work, Contractor shall, without adjustment to the Substantial Completion Date, also correct, repair or replace or cause the correction, repair or replacement, of such affected or damaged Work, as appropriate, as well as any other property of MSG or others damaged by such Defective Work.

		
	17.2.3
	If MSG notifies Contractor of Defective Work before the end of the Warranty Period, then Contractor shall re-execute, correct, repair or replace, as appropriate, or cause such re-execution, correction, repair or replacement by its Subcontractors, all such Defective Work. If other portions of the Work are adversely affected or damaged by such Defective Work, Contractor shall, without adjustment to the Substantial Completion Date, also correct, repair or replace or cause such correction, repair or replacement, such affected or damaged Work, as appropriate, as well as any other property of MSG or others damaged by such Defective Work.

		
	17.2.4
	Contractor may seek to use the Allocation pursuant to Section 4.10 to cover the costs of rectification of Defective Work, in accordance with the terms of Section 4.10 and Schedule F; provided, however, that Contractor shall not be entitled to recover either as a Cost of the Work or 

75

otherwise for Defective Work, including under Sections 17.2.2 and 17.2.3, to the extent the Allocation is not permitted to be used or has been exhausted.
		
	17.2.5
	If, prior to Substantial Completion, MSG does not require Defective Work to be removed or corrected by Contractor, then MSG may withhold such sums as are just and reasonable from amounts, if any, due Contractor hereunder, unless and until the amount of any such deduction is agreed upon by MSG and Contractor.

		
	17.2.6
	If Contractor fails to correct Defective Work in accordance with Sections 17.2.2 or 17.2.3, as applicable, within a reasonable time after written notice from MSG, then MSG may correct such Defective Work. Contractor shall promptly reimburse MSG for the out-of-pocket costs incurred by MSG as a direct result of the correction of such Defective Work, plus ten percent (10%) of such costs for MSG’s overhead.  In such case, MSG may also remove such Defective Work and store the salvageable materials or equipment at Contractor’s expense. If Contractor does not pay costs of such removal and storage within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written notice, then MSG may, upon ten (10) additional Business Days’ written notice, sell such materials and equipment at auction or at private sale, and shall account for the proceeds thereof, after deducting costs and damages that should have been borne by Contractor, including compensation for services and expenses made necessary thereby. If such proceeds of sale do not cover costs that Contractor should have borne, then Contractor shall pay such excess to MSG or MSG shall the right to set such amount off against any payments due from MSG to Contractor. If, however, such proceeds are in excess of the costs that Contractor should have borne, then MSG shall pay such excess to Contractor.

		
	17.2.7
	Nothing contained in this Article 17 shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to any other warranty obligation under the Contract Documents. The Warranty Period relates only to the specific obligation of Contractor to correct Defective Work after Substantial Completion, and has no relationship to the time within which obligation to comply with the Contract Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor the time within which proceedings may be commenced to establish Contractor’s liability with respect to its obligations other than specifically to correct Defective Work. The expiration of any guarantee or any obligation of Contractor to correct Work shall not relieve Contractor of the obligation to correct any latent defect in the Work or deficiencies that are not readily ascertained, including defective Materials and workmanship, defects attributable to Substitutions for specified Materials, and substandard performance of any of the Work otherwise not in compliance with the Contract Documents.

		
	17.2.8
	During the first ten (10) events held at the Project after Substantial Completion, Contractor shall have personnel reasonably acceptable to MSG stationed at the Site and “on call” to promptly deal with any warranty issues that may occur with respect to any of the Project’s major systems. If any problems with such major systems do arise during those events, then all such personnel shall remain “on call” until any issues with respect to those major systems are resolved.

		
	17.2.9
	The Contractor shall procure extended warranties, equipment warranties and manufacturers’ warranties from its Subcontractors as specified in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work or, to the extent not reflected in the Contract Documents, such warranties as manufacturers and suppliers would typically provide. MSG may, at its election, request to review the terms of such warranties. All such warranties shall commence upon the Date of Substantial Completion. Further, all such warranties shall be assigned to MSG or at the direction of MSG and shall be executed in writing for the benefit of MSG and/or its nominee (including naming the Lessor as a third-party beneficiary of warranties as required under Schedule A).

		
	17.2.10
	If a manufacturer or Supplier of any plant, equipment, materials, goods, item or other thing (“product”) to be installed in or otherwise incorporated into the Work stipulates that the warranties 

76

and guarantees of its product are conditional or dependent upon the product being installed or applied by an installer or applicator approved by the manufacturer or Supplier, Contractor:
		
	17.21.10.1
	must ensure that the product is only installed or applied by an installer or applicator approved by the manufacturer or Supplier; and

		
	17.21.10.2
	must provide written confirmation from the manufacturer or Supplier that the Contractor or the Contractor’s proposed Subcontractor for the installation or application of the product is an approved installer or applicator of the product. Such written confirmation must be provided to MSG not less than ten (10) Business Days before the proposed commencement of the installation or application of the product in the Works.

		
	17.2.11
	All warranties arising from this Article 17 and from other provisions of the Contract Documents shall run directly to MSG. All warranties and guarantees of manufacturers or Subcontractors for any Work shall be fully assignable to MSG or MSG’s designee and shall be assigned to MSG upon Substantial Completion. The warranties and remedies provided in this Article 17 shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any other warranty or remedy arising by law or by the Contract Documents. Contractor shall, during the Warranty Period, assist MSG in enforcement of warranties and guarantees from Subcontractors.

		
	17.2.12
	On or about the date that is [*****] after the date of Substantial Completion, Contractor shall, together with MSG, Architect and Project Manager, attend a final inspection of the Work to ensure that it comports with all warranties and guarantees. Contractor shall promptly correct any deficiencies noted during such inspection in accordance with this Section 17.2.

ARTICLE 18

	18.1.1
	The following shall be considered “Contractor Events of Default”:

77

an order for relief to be entered with respect to it under applicable federal bankruptcy law, or applies for or consents to the appointment of a custodian, trustee or receiver for Contractor, or bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement or insolvency proceedings, or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy or similar law or laws for the relief of debtors are instituted by or against Contractor, and in any of the foregoing cases such action is not discharged or terminated within sixty (60) Days of its institution;
		
	18.1.1.7
	if Contractor assigns or transfers, or purports to assign or transfer, this Agreement or any right or interest herein, except as expressly permitted hereunder; and

		
	18.1.1.8
	if Contractor materially fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Construction Schedule.

18.2Remedies of MSG upon a Contractor Event of Default.
		
	18.2.1
	Without limiting Section 18.5, upon the occurrence of a Contractor Event of Default, MSG shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Contractor (with simultaneous written notice to the Contractor’s Guarantors, if any). Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of MSG pursuant to this Agreement, at law or in equity or the rights that MSG hereby expressly reserves (including the right to collect Liquidated Damages and pursue damages other than damages caused by delays (except as provided in Section 18.2.2(b))), MSG may take any or all of the following steps:

	18.2.3
	Notwithstanding anything herein, Contractor shall not be entitled to recover any amount, including for lost profit, on account of the balance of the Work not performed, nor shall Contractor be entitled to recover the demobilization costs of Contractor or its Subcontractors.

18.3Contractor Suspension and Termination Rights
		
	18.3.1
	If Contractor stops Work pursuant to Sections 13.13.1.1, 13.13.1.2, or 13.13.1.3 for a minimum of twenty (20) consecutive Days, then, subject to Sections 18.3.1.1 and 18.3.1.2 below, Contractor shall issue a second written notice that is personally delivered to the President of The Madison Square Garden Company (at the address of MSG specified in Section 19.1) which shall contain the following provision in capital letters and bold font: “THIS IS A SECOND NOTICE REQUESTING MSG TO CURE THE BASIS FOR THE STOPPAGE OF WORK PURSUANT TO SECTION [13.13.1.1, 13.13.1.2 OR 13.13.1.3] OF THE AGREEMENT. FAILURE BY MSG TO CURE SUCH BASIS FOR STOPPAGE OF THE WORK WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) 

78

BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT HEREOF (OR WHERE SUCH BASIS FOR THE STOPPAGE OF WORK CANNOT BE CURED WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS, MSG HAS FAILED TO COMMENCE AND BE DILIGENTLY PURSUING A CURE), CONTRACTOR SHALL BE ENTITLED TO TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT FIFTEEN (15) DAYS FOLLOWING RECEIPT OF THIS SECOND NOTICE”.
		
	18.3.1.1
	If, however, Contractor is paid the undisputed amount due prior to the expiry of the aggregate time period set forth in Section 18.3.1, Contractor shall not be entitled to terminate the Agreement and shall resume performance of the Work.

		
	18.3.1.2
	Any payment made to Contractor pursuant to this Section 18.3.1 may include payments made on a “without prejudice” basis, including to facilitate the continued performance of the Work by Contractor and its Subcontractors, and any such payment made on an expressly “without prejudice” basis shall constitute a full reservation of MSG’s right to (a) later re-assess and/or dispute such payment (in part or in whole); and (b) adjust the Certificate for Payment of future payments to accommodate the re-assessed and/or disputed portion or whole of one or more previous invoices.

		
	18.3.2
	In addition, if an MSG Act causes the entirety of the Work to be stopped for a period of [*****] or more then, subject to the proviso below, Contractor may terminate the Agreement if:

		
	18.3.2.1
	Contractor gives written notice of its intention to terminate the Agreement to MSG and Project Manager at least ten (10) Days before terminating the Agreement; and

		
	18.3.2.2
	MSG fails to allow Contractor to resume the Work within the time set forth in the written notice given pursuant to Section 18.3.2.1 above; and

		
	18.3.2.3
	Contractor has issued a second notice that is personally delivered to the President of The Madison Square Garden Company which shall contain the following provision in capital letters and bold font: “THIS IS A SECOND NOTICE REQUESTING MSG TO CURE THE BASIS FOR THE STOPPAGE OF WORK PURSUANT TO SECTION 18.3.2 OF THE AGREEMENT. FAILURE BY MSG TO CURE SUCH BASIS FOR STOPPAGE OF THE WORK WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT HEREOF (OR WHERE SUCH BASIS FOR THE STOPPAGE OF WORK CANNOT BE CURED WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS, MSG HAS FAILED TO COMMENCE AND BE DILIGENTLY PURSUING A CURE), CONTRACTOR SHALL BE ENTITLED TO REFER SUCH STOPPAGE TO A DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVES MEETING PURSUANT TO SECTION 22.1.3 FIFTEEN (15) DAYS FOLLOWING RECEIPT OF THIS SECOND NOTICE”; and

		
	18.3.2.4
	MSG fails to allow Contractor to resume the Work within the time set forth in the second written notice given pursuant to Section 18.3.2.3; and

		
	18.3.2.5
	the Parties have scheduled and attended the Designated Representatives Meeting referred to in Section 22.1.3 but achieved no mutually satisfactory resolution of MSG’s failure to allow Contractor to resume the Work; provided that the written notice of intention to terminate referred to in Section 18.3.2.1 above shall serve as the “Dispute Notice” referred to in Section 22.1.3,

79

provided, however, that Contractor may not enforce its rights pursuant to Section 18.3.1 when it is simultaneously seeking relief pursuant to Article 5 for the same MSG Act.
		
	18.3.3
	If Contractor stops the Work pursuant to Section 13.13.1.1, 13.13.1.2, or 13.13.1.3, MSG may terminate this Agreement by giving Contractor notice of its intent to terminate at least fifteen (15) Days before terminating the Agreement.

		
	18.3.4
	If a custodian, trustee or receiver is appointed for MSG, or if MSG becomes insolvent or bankrupt, is generally not paying its debts as they become due or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or MSG causes or suffers an order for relief to be entered with respect to it under applicable federal bankruptcy law or applies for or consents to the appointment of a custodian, trustee or receiver for MSG, or bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement or insolvency proceedings, or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy or similar law or laws for the relief of debtors, are instituted by or against MSG, and in any of the foregoing cases such action is not discharged or terminated within sixty (60) Days of its institution, Contractor may terminate this Agreement upon fifteen (15) Days written notice to MSG and Project Manager.

18.4Remedies of Contractor upon Termination by Contractor.
		
	18.4.1
	If Contractor terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 18.3, such a termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience by MSG and the provisions of Section 18.6 shall apply.

18.5Injunctive Relief.
		
	18.5.1
	Contractor acknowledges and agrees that MSG will suffer immediate, irreparable harm in the event Contractor breaches any of its obligations under the covenants and provisions set forth in this Agreement, that monetary damages will be inadequate to compensate MSG for such breach and that MSG shall be entitled to injunctive relief as a remedy for any such breach (or threatened breach). Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy in the event of breach by Contractor of any of the covenants or provisions set forth in this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available to MSG at law or in equity. Contractor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, any requirement for security or the posting of any bond or other surety in connection with any temporary or permanent award of injunctive or other equitable relief, and further waives, again to the extent permitted by law, the defense in any action for specific performance or other equitable remedy that a remedy at law would be adequate.

18.6Termination for Convenience.
		
	18.6.1
	MSG may terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason, without cause, at any time, upon providing fifteen (15) Days’ prior written notice from MSG to Contractor. Upon receipt of such notice, Contractor shall immediately or on the date set forth in the written notice: (a) terminate performance of the Work; (b) take actions necessary, or that MSG may direct, for the protection and preservation of the Work; (c) enter into no further Subcontracts; (d) at MSG’s option (except with respect to Work directed to be performed prior to the effective date of the termination stated in the notice): (i) terminate all existing Subcontracts and purchase orders; or (ii) assign to MSG such Subcontracts and purchase orders identified by MSG; and (e) subject to the terms of Section 9.2 above, deliver to MSG copies of, and assign (or cause to be assigned) to MSG, at MSG’s request all rights to any and all designs, drawings, specifications, reports, studies and all other plans prepared (or caused to be prepared) by Contractor in connection with the Project.

		
	18.6.2
	Upon any such termination for convenience, MSG shall pay to Contractor: (a) the Cost of the Work due (and undisputed) to Contractor for Work performed through the date of the termination, plus 

80

Contractor’s Fee thereon; plus (b) actual demobilization, close-out costs, and costs reasonably incurred to protect or preserve the Work, all of which must be attributable to the termination. All funds due hereunder, including unpaid retainage, shall be released within thirty (30) Days of termination. In the event of such termination for convenience, Contractor shall not be entitled to any anticipated profits or portions of the Contractor’s Fee attributable to Work not performed, nor any other consequential, indirect or incidental damages relating to such termination.
18.7Suspension for Convenience.
		
	18.7.1
	MSG may, without cause, order Contractor in writing to suspend, delay or interrupt the Work in whole or in part for such period of time as MSG may determine. An adjustment shall be made for actual increases in the cost of, or delay to, performance of the Work, including the Contractor’s Fee on the increased cost of performance, if any, to the extent caused by the suspension, delay or interruption, in accordance with Article 5; provided that no adjustment shall be made to the extent that: (a) the performance is, was or would have been so suspended, delayed or interrupted by another cause for which Contractor is responsible; or (b) an adjustment to the Incentive Benchmark and/or Construction Schedule is made or denied under another provision of this Agreement. Adjustments made in the cost of performance may have a mutually-agreed fixed or percentage increase or decrease to the Contractor’s Fee. In the event that the Work is suspended for convenience, Contractor shall not be permitted to terminate the Agreement in accordance with Section 18.3.

18.8Termination of the Ground Lease.
		
	18.8.1
	In the event the Ground Lease is terminated prior to Final Completion, this Agreement will automatically terminate and Contractor’s rights and responsibilities shall be governed by Section 18.6.

	19.2
	Contractor shall have the right to deliver any plans, reports, communications or other deliveries required or permitted to be delivered through the online system described in Section 3.17.1 (in lieu of the methods specified in Section 19.1) unless they  involve (a) the occurrence of a casualty, commencement of litigation, filing of a mechanic’s lien or notice of violation of Applicable Law, (b) an allegation of breach of or default under this Agreement, or (c) Claims, including for schedule or cost adjustments pursuant to this Agreement.

		
	19.3
	Written notices are required whether or not MSG is aware of the existence of any circumstances which might constitute a basis for a Claim and whether or not MSG has indicated it will consider a Claim. Since merely oral notice may cause disputes as to the existence or substance thereof, and since notice, even if written to other than MSG’s representative above designated to receive it may not be sufficient to come to the attention of the representative of MSG with the knowledge and responsibility of dealing with the situation, only written notice and information complying with the express provisions of Article 19 shall be deemed to fulfil a Party’s obligations under this Agreement, even where another term of this Agreement that refer to “notice” is not preceded by the word “written”.

ARTICLE 20
CONFIDENTIALITY
20.1Confidentiality.
		
	20.1.1
	The terms of the Contract Documents and any and all information or materials obtained by Contractor from MSG, Lessor or any agents, representatives or Affiliates of either of them in conjunction with or incidental to performing the Work hereunder are confidential and shall not be disclosed by Contractor, any Subcontractor, or any of their respective Affiliates, employees, or agents, to any third party without MSG’s or Lessor’s prior written consent; provided that Contractor may disclose such information to a Governmental Authority as may be required to perform the Work or to Contractor’s employees, attorneys, consultants, insurers, and Subcontractors who have a need to know such information and Contractor shall ensure that its employees, attorneys, consultants, insurers, and Subcontractors maintain the confidentiality thereof on terms substantially similar to the terms set forth in this Section 20.1.

		
	20.1.2
	Any and all information obtained by MSG from Contractor regarding Contractor’s costs, accounting, or finances in connection with the Contract Documents is confidential and shall not be disclosed by MSG or by any of its agents, employees or representatives without Contractor’s prior written consent; provided that MSG may disclose such information to (i) governmental authorities as necessary to complete the Work; (ii) its employees, attorneys, accountants, cost consultants, potential equity investors, and insurers who have a need to know such information, each of whom must agree to maintain the confidentiality thereof; (iii) the extent disclosure is required or advisable by law, statute, rule, regulation, or judicial process (including, but not limited to, applicable securities laws), and (iv) any regulator having jurisdiction over the Project including, but not limited to, any securities regulatory authority, including rating agencies and national securities exchanges, to which MSG is subject.

		
	20.1.3
	The provisions of this Section 20.1 shall survive termination of the Contract Documents. This provision shall not apply to information that comes into the public domain (except to the extent that it comes into the public domain as a result of a disclosure prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 20.1) or is required to be disclosed by any Applicable Laws.

20.2Publicity/Promotion Prohibition.
		
	20.2.1
	Contractor shall not display or distribute any advertising signs or notices of any kind whatsoever at the Site, except signs required by law or for public safety, without the prior written permission of MSG in each instance. Any such permission given shall be revocable at any time thereafter 

83

without prior notice to Contractor and at the sole discretion of MSG. Additionally, Contractor hereby covenants and agrees not to use the name of the Project or Site, or any variation thereof, or any other trademarks or logotypes now or hereafter used by the Project or MSG, in any manner without the prior written approval of MSG. In the event of such approval, Contractor may use the name of the Site or MSG only in the manner and at such times as prescribed in such approval.
20.3Remedy for Breach or Threatened Breach
		
	20.3.1
	If any Party breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of this Article 20, the other Party shall have all rights and remedies available to such persons at law or in equity under this Agreement or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right and remedy of injunctive relief (without the necessity of posting any bond or security) and to have each and every one of the restrictive covenants in this Article 20 specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of these restrictive covenants would cause irreparable injury and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy.

ARTICLE 21
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
21.1Representations And Warranties.
		
	21.1.1
	Contractor represents and warrants the following to MSG (in addition to any other representations and warranties contained in the Contract Documents) as a material inducement to MSG to execute this Agreement, which representations and warranties shall be continuing throughout performance of the Work and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any termination of this Agreement and Final Completion of the Work:

	Contractor is financially solvent, able to pay all debts as they mature, and possesses sufficient working capital to complete the Work and perform all obligations hereunder;

		
	21.1.1.2
	Contractor is able to furnish the plant, tools, materials, supplies, equipment, and labor required to complete the Work and perform its obligations hereunder and has sufficient experience and competence to do so;

		
	21.1.1.3
	Contractor’s execution of this Agreement and performance thereof are within the Contractor’s duly authorized powers;

		
	21.1.1.4
	Contractor’s duly authorized representative has visited the Site, is familiar with the local conditions under which the Work is to be performed, and has correlated observations with the requirements of the Contract Documents; and

		
	21.1.1.5

	21.2.1
	Contractor represents and warrants that it is authorized to do business in the State of Nevada and is properly licensed to perform the Work by all necessary Governmental Authorities (including local governments, counties, cities, and municipalities) having jurisdiction over Contractor, the Work and the Project. Contractor may satisfy licensing requirements concerning its design and engineering services through the design professionals it retains to perform those services if they 

84

are properly licensed. Contractor has no reason to believe that any approval required to be obtained by Contractor from a Governmental Authority for the execution of the Work will not be granted in due course and thereafter remain in effect so as to enable the Work to proceed in accordance with the Contract Documents.
21.3Survival.
All of the representations, warranties and indemnifications made in, required by or given in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Work or the Project, which are expressly stated to survive or which by their nature survive, as well as all continuing obligations under the Contract Documents, shall survive (a) termination of the Agreement, and (b) Final Completion.
ARTICLE 22
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

22.1Dispute Resolution Procedures.
		
	22.1.1
	Any Claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with, the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Article 22.

		
	22.1.2
	In the event of any dispute between MSG and Contractor that arises under or in connection with this Agreement or the Work (a “Dispute”), Contractor shall continue to perform as required under the Agreement notwithstanding the existence of such Dispute. In the event of such a Dispute, MSG shall continue to pay Contractor as provided in this Agreement, excepting only such amount as may be disputed.

		
	22.1.3
	If any event or circumstance gives rise to a Dispute, the aggrieved party (the “Disputing Party”) shall promptly notify (each such notice, a “Dispute Notice”) the other party (the “Responding Party”) of such Dispute.

If any Dispute is not resolved through such discussions within thirty (30) Days after delivery of such Dispute Notice, then Contractor’s Designated Senior Representative and MSG’s Designated Senior Representative, upon the request of either Party, shall meet as soon as conveniently possible, but in no case later than thirty (30) Days after delivery of such Dispute Notice, to attempt to resolve such Dispute (such meeting the “Designated Representatives Meeting”). If a Party intends to be accompanied at a meeting by an attorney, the other Party shall be given at least five (5) Days’ notice of such intention and may also be accompanied by an attorney. Both Parties may change their Designated Senior Representative from time to time upon written notice to the other Party.

Any disapproval shall be in writing and shall specify the specific reasons for the denial and the changes to the Bridge DD Documents that would render them acceptable, at which time Lessor and Lessee shall promptly meet and confer in good faith to resolve such issues. If Lessor fails to respond to the above request for approval within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Bridge DD Documents, then Lessee may send Lessor a second notice requesting Lessor’s approval of the Bridge DD Documents, which notice shall be in accordance with the Deemed Approval Process set forth in Section 34 hereof. If Lessor fails to respond to such second notice within fifteen (15) days, Lessor shall be deemed to have approved such Bridge DD Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessor, in connection with its review of the Bridge DD Documents, desires to make any changes from what was previously approved by Lessor in the approved Bridge Schematic Drawings, then any direct incremental cost increases (including the costs of revising the Bridge DD Documents) associated with such relocation shall be borne by Lessor.
		
	5.7.4.
	Subsequent to the approval of the Bridge DD Documents in accordance with Section 5.7.3 above, Lessee shall prepare and submit to Lessor, at Lessee’s expense, construction drawings with respect to the Bridge, including the Interconnection Point (the “Bridge Construction Drawings”).

Any disapproval shall be in writing and shall specify the specific reasons for the denial and the changes to the Bridge Construction Drawings that would render them acceptable, at which time Lessor and Lessee shall promptly meet and confer in good faith to resolve such issues. If Lessor fails to respond to the above request for approval within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Bridge Construction Drawings, then Lessee may send Lessor a second notice requesting Lessor’s approval of the Bridge Construction Drawings, which notice shall be in accordance with the Deemed Approval Process set forth in Section 34 hereof. If Lessor fails to respond to such second notice within fifteen (15) days, Lessor shall be deemed to have approved such Bridge Construction Drawings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessor, in connection with its review of the Bridge Construction Drawings, desires to make any changes from what was previously approved by Lessor in the approved Bridge DD Documents, then any direct incremental cost increases (including the costs of revising the Bridge Construction Drawings) associated with such relocation shall be borne by Lessor.

		
	5.7.5.
	Throughout the Bridge construction process, Lessee will consult and coordinate with Lessor (with update meetings to occur no less frequently than quarterly). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the course of construction of the Project in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease, Lessor and Lessee shall cooperate in good faith on issues related to construction staging, crane overhang, and construction parking.

		
	5.7.6.

Lessor, as the fee owner of the Premises, shall provide the appropriate authorizations and signatures on applications and other documents so as to permit Lessee to develop, construct, install, maintain, operate, or repair the Project, at no out-of-pocket expense to Lessor. Lessor shall not (i) take and/or express positions adverse to and/or otherwise interfere with the development, construction, installation, maintenance, operation, and/or repair of the Improvements during the Lease Term except as expressly permitted under this Lease, or (ii) without the prior approval of Lessee, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, initiate contact or participate in any meetings with any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Premises or any portion thereof to discuss matters relating to the development of the Premises or the Project; provided, however, that the restriction in this clause (ii) shall not apply during the last year of the Term of the Lease to the extent that Lessor intends to process any redevelopment approvals for the Premises related to the period from and after the expiration of the Lease. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate and coordinate with one another regarding construction activities taking place at the Premises and related to construction efforts with respect to the Bridge (including the Interconnection Point), including without limitation the granting of any temporary construction licenses that may be reasonably required in order for Lessee to access Lessor’s property for such purposes, and Lessor shall, at no out of pocket cost or expense to Lessor, reasonably cooperate with Lessee’s efforts to interconnect all utilities to the Premises (including the Interconnection Point and Bridge) and reasonably consent to any such interconnections, as required.

	Indemnity for Hazardous Materials. Lessor hereby agrees to defend, protect, and indemnify the Lessee Parties, and to hold the Lessee Parties harmless from and against, any and all claims, demands, causes of action, judgments, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from the presence of any Hazardous Material located in, at, on or under the Premises if and to the extent the presence of such Hazardous Material is in violation of any Environmental Law (a) prior to the Lease Commencement Date or (b) as a result of the actions of Lessor or Lessor’s employees or agents, provided, however, that Lessor’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall not apply to the extent the presence or exacerbation of such Hazardous Materials is as a result of the actions of Lessee or Lessee’s employees, agents or invitees (it being understood that mere discovery of Hazardous Materials by Lessee shall not be considered exacerbation). Lessee hereby agrees to defend, protect, and indemnify the Lessor Parties, and to hold the Lessor Parties harmless from and against, any and all claims, demands, causes of action, judgments, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from the presence of any Hazardous Material located in, at, on or under the Premises (a) as a result of the actions of Lessee or Lessee’s employees, agents, contractors, invitees, tenants or subtenants in violation of any Environmental Law or (b) as prohibited by Section 4.2, provided, however, that Lessee’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall not 

A-5

apply to the extent the presence of such Hazardous Materials is as a result of the actions of Lessor or Lessor’s employees or agents. For purposes of this Section 6.1, the indemnifying party shall be referred to as the “Indemnitor” and the indemnified parties shall be referred to collectively as the “Indemnitee.”
                                                        
		
	6.2.
	Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Lessee shall have no obligation to indemnify Lessor or the Lessor Parties in respect of any contamination of ground water if such contamination was the result of the migration of Hazardous Materials to the Premises from real property other than the Premises, and was not caused by Lessee or Lessee’s employees, agents, contractors, invitees, tenants or subtenants. Lessee shall provide Lessor with prompt written notice of any contamination issue described in the previous sentence upon Lessee obtaining actual knowledge of same.

                                                        
		
	6.3.
	Scope of Indemnification. In connection with any claim for indemnification under Section 6.1 above, Indemnitor shall indemnify and defend Indemnitee with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, to the extent provided in Section 6.1. This indemnification shall include without limitation (i) personal injury claims, (ii) the payment of liens, fines or penalties, (iii) damages for the loss of or restriction on the use of the Premises, whether temporary or permanent, (iv) sums reasonably paid in settlement of claims, (v) reasonable attorneys’ fees and experts’ fees, (vi) the reasonable cost of investigation of site environmental conditions required by law, (vii) the reasonable cost of remediation to achieve non-residential environmental cleanup standards required by any governmental authority pursuant to an Environmental Law and related repair and restoration. Subject to Section 6.4, any costs or expenses incurred by Indemnitee for which Indemnitor is responsible under this Section 6.3 or for which Indemnitor has indemnified Indemnitee shall be paid to Indemnitee in accordance with Section 6.5, or otherwise on demand.

                                                        
		
	6.4.
	Claims for Indemnification. If an Indemnitee believes that it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6, such Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Indemnitor. Any such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail and to the extent then known the basis for such claim for indemnification. Each such claim for indemnification shall expressly state that Indemnitor shall have only the ninety (90) day period referred to in the next sentence to dispute or deny such claim. Indemnitor shall have ninety (90) days following its receipt of such notice either (a) to acquiesce in such claim and Indemnitor’s responsibility to indemnify Indemnitee in respect thereof in accordance with the terms of this Section 6 by giving Indemnitee written notice of such acquiescence, or (b) to object to the claim by giving Indemnitee written notice of the objection. If Indemnitor does not acquiesce in such claim for indemnification within such ninety (90) day period, such claim shall be deemed to have been objected to by Indemnitor. If Indemnitor objects, or is deemed to have objected, to such claim for indemnification within such ninety (90) day period but it is subsequently determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification from Indemnitor, interest shall be deemed to have accrued on the unpaid amount of such indemnification from the date on which Indemnitee tendered payment in satisfaction of the liability or liabilities giving rise to such claim for indemnification until full payment of the amount of such indemnification at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%) per annum and (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law, and Indemnitee shall be entitled to payment of such interest from Indemnitor.

	Defense of Claims.

6.5.1. In connection with any claim which may give rise to indemnity under this Section 6 resulting from or arising out of any claim or proceeding against an Indemnitee by a Person that is not a party to this Lease, Indemnitor may (unless such Indemnitee elects not to seek indemnity hereunder for such claim), upon written notice sent at any time to the relevant Indemnitee, assume the defense of any such claim or proceeding if Indemnitor acknowledges to Indemnitee Indemnitee’s right to indemnity pursuant hereto in respect of the entirety of such claim (as such claim may have been modified through written agreement of the parties) and provides assurances, reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, that Indemnitor will be financially able to satisfy the amount of such claim in full if such claim or proceeding is decided adversely.
6.5.2. If Indemnitor assumes the defense of any such claim or proceeding, Indemnitor shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee to conduct the defense of such claim or proceeding, shall take all steps reasonably necessary in the defense or settlement thereof, shall at all times diligently and promptly pursue the resolution thereof, and shall bear all costs and expenses in connection with defending against such claim or proceeding. If Indemnitor shall have assumed the defense of any claim or proceeding in accordance with this Section 6.5, Indemnitor may consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim or proceeding only with the prior written consent of Indemnitee, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that Indemnitor shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment either concurrently with the effectiveness thereof or shall obtain and deliver to Indemnitee prior to the execution of such settlement a general release executed by the Person not a party hereto, which general release shall release Indemnitee from any liability in such matter; provided, further, that Indemnitor shall not be authorized to encumber any of the assets of Indemnitee or to agree to any restriction that would apply to Indemnitee or to its conduct of business; provided, further, that a condition to any such settlement shall be a complete release of Indemnitee and its Affiliates, trustees, officers, employees, consultants and agents with respect to such claim. Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its own counsel and at its own expense. Each Indemnitee shall, and shall cause each of their Affiliates, officers, employees, consultants and agents to, cooperate fully with Indemnitor in the defense of any claim or proceeding being defended by Indemnitor pursuant to this Section 6.5.
6.5.3. If Indemnitor does not assume the defense of any claim or proceeding resulting therefrom in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.5, Indemnitee may defend against such claim or proceeding in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including settling such claim or proceeding after giving notice of the same to Indemnitor, on such terms as Indemnitee may deem appropriate. If Indemnitor seeks to question the manner in which Indemnitee defended such claim or proceeding or the amount of or nature of any such settlement, Indemnitor shall have the burden to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that Indemnitee did not defend such claim or proceeding in a reasonably prudent manner.
		
	6.6.
	Definition of “Lessor Parties” and “Lessee Parties”. The term “Lessor Parties” shall mean and include each and all of Lessor and Lessor’s trustees, members, managers, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, assigns and any successors to Lessor’s interest in the Premises, and (b) “Lessee Parties” shall mean and include each and all of Lessee and Lessee’s trustees, members, managers, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, assigns and any successors to Lessee’s interest in the Property.

In connection therewith, Lessee shall comply with the provisions set forth in Schedule E attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Subject to the terms of Section 21 hereof, Lessee may obtain financing for such Improvements, and any such financing may be secured by Lessee’s interest in the Property. During the Lease Term, all such Improvements shall be and remain the property of Lessee in accordance with Section 5.4. Lessor shall not have any design approval rights over Improvements except to the extent they relate to (a) the location and design of the Bridge, (b) the location and design of the Interconnection Point and any Other Physical Connection Points, or (c) a Material Modification, in each case with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

	Liens.

11.1 Generally. Lessee will not directly or indirectly create, or permit the creation of, any mortgage, lien, security interest, encumbrance or charge on, pledge of or conditional sale or other title retention agreement with respect to the Premises or any part thereof, other than (a) this Lease and ancillary rights in favor of third parties as permitted herein; (b) a Leasehold Mortgage which is permitted under the terms of Section 21; (c) liens for Impositions not yet payable, or payable without the addition of any fine, penalty, interest or cost for nonpayment, or being contested as permitted by Section 12; (d) Permitted Exceptions; and (e) Unpermitted Liens, incurred in the ordinary course of business for sums which under the terms of the related contracts are not at the time due if adequate provision for the payment thereof shall have been made by Lessee. Lessee will provide Lessor with prompt written notice of any lien or notice of lien placed against the Premises, and Lessee will promptly thereafter remove and discharge any mortgage, lien, security interest, encumbrance or charge created by Lessee (or by any third party as a result of Lessee’s conduct) in violation of the preceding sentence. In the event that Lessee’s leasehold interest under the Lease is encumbered by a Leasehold Mortgage pursuant to the provisions of Section 21, Lessee shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Leasehold Mortgagee to provide to Lessor copies of any notices from such Leasehold Mortgagee alleging any non-compliance, breach or default by Lessee in respect of such Leasehold Mortgage (provided that Lessee shall be deemed to satisfy the 

A-8

requirements of this clause (i) if Lessee delivers to such Leasehold Mortgagee a written request to provide such notices to Lessor; and (ii) within ten (10) days after receipt of any such notice from Leasehold Mortgagee, provide to Lessor a copy of any such notice from such Leasehold Mortgagee alleging any non-compliance, breach or default under any of the loan documents regarding such Leasehold Mortgage (provided that so long as Lessor receives such notice pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) above, Lessee shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this clause). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11, Lessee may enter into fixture financing arrangements for fixtures and equipment located on the Property, and Lessor agrees that Lessor’s claims to such fixtures and equipment, if any, shall be subordinate to any such fixture financing arrangements so long as such arrangements do not encumber Lessor’s interest in the Premises. If Lessee fails to remove, discharge or bond over any lien not otherwise described in (a) through (e) above including without limitation any Unpermitted Lien within thirty (30) days of its being placed against the Property, Lessor may do so, and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for all costs incurred by Lessor in connection with removing such lien.
                                                        
		
	13.
	Lessor’s Access Rights. Lessor and its agents, employees and representatives shall have the right to enter the Property at all reasonable times (except while an event is being held at the Premises) upon reasonable prior written notice for the purposes of (1) inspecting the Property for the purposes of determining Lessee’s compliance with the terms hereof, and (2) during the last twenty four (24) months of the Lease Term, Scheduleing the Property to other Persons, provided, however, that any such entry under clause (1) or (2) above shall be conducted in such a manner as to minimize interference with the business being conducted in and on the Property. A representative of Lessee shall have the right to be present upon any such entry by Lessee, provided Lessee makes such representative reasonably available for such entry.

	14.1.
	Lessee will defend, protect, indemnify, and hold Lessor harmless from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Lessor, the Lessor Parties, or the Property or any portion thereof, by reason of the occurrence or existence of any of the following: (a) any accident, injury to, or death of persons (including workmen), or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on, under, or about the Property during the Lease Term, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or Lessor’s agents, employees, invitees, or contractors; (b) any failure on the part of Lessee to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Lease; or (c) any non-compliance by Lessee with Applicable Laws, whether or not Lessee’s non-compliance with Applicable Laws would constitute an Event of Default under Section 24 below. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against Lessor by reason of any such occurrence, Lessor will notify Lessee of such action, suit, or proceeding, and upon Lessor’s request Lessee will, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, resist and defend such action, suit, or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall neither have any liability nor any obligation to indemnify Lessor solely for the discovery of Hazardous Material on the Premises unless and to the extent provided under the terms of Section 6 hereof.

		
	14.2.
	Lessor will defend, protect, indemnify, and hold Lessee harmless from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Lessee, the Lessee Parties, or the Property or any portion thereof, by reason of the occurrence or existence of any of the following: (a) any accident, injury to, or death of persons (including workmen), or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on, under, or about the Property prior to

	18.1
	Generally. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall procure and keep in full force until all of its obligations under this Lease have been discharged (or any additional periods described on Schedule I), insurance as set forth on Schedule I  attached hereto. Lessor, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain Commercial General Liability Insurance for claims arising from its ownership of the Premises with limits in an amount not less than [*****]. Insurance required to be maintained by Lessor or Lessee pursuant to this Section 18.1 may be provided under blanket policies covering other locations operated by Lessor or Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessor or Lessee.

		
	18.2.
	Delivery of Evidence of Insurance. Upon commencement of the Lease Term, Lessee will deliver to Lessor certificates of insurance showing the required coverage is in force (provided that Lessee may redact portions of any umbrella policies that are solely applicable to other projects), and thereafter Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lessor certificates of insurance showing the required coverage is still in force not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any policy required pursuant to this Section 18, but in any event, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor such certificates prior to the expiration of any policy required pursuant to this Section 18.

		
	18.3.
	Waiver of Subrogation. Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall be liable to the other or to any insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise) insuring the other party for any loss or damage to any building, structure or other tangible property, or any resulting loss of income and benefits (even though such loss or damage might have been occasioned by the negligence of such party, its agents or employees) if such loss or damage is covered by insurance benefiting the party suffering such loss or damage or is required to be covered by insurance pursuant to this Lease. Lessor and Lessee agree that deductibles under Lessor’s insurance policies and other amounts that are self-insured by Lessor or Lessee shall be deemed covered by insurance and all claims for recovery thereof are hereby waived. Lessor and Lessee shall require their respective insurance companies to include a standard waiver of subrogation provision in their respective policies.

		
	18.4.
	No Entry Until Insurance In Place. Lessee shall not be permitted to take possession of any portion of the Premises until all applicable insurance required under this Lease is in place.

	19.
	Damage to or Destruction of Property.

		
	19.1.
	Lessee to Give Notice. In case of any damage to or destruction of the Premises or any Improvements, or any material part thereof, that will materially and adversely affect the operation of the Premises (a “Casualty”), Lessee will promptly give telephonic and written notice thereof to Lessor generally describing the nature and extent of such Casualty. Lessor shall have no interest in any property insurance proceeds paid to Lessee or Leasehold Mortgagee due to a Casualty or any other damage to the Premises or any Improvements (the “Casualty Proceeds”), except as expressly provided in this Section 19.1. Following any Casualty, Lessee shall either (i) diligently rebuild and replace such damaged Improvements at the Premises in accordance with the Building Standard (provided that Lessor’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, shall be required with respect to (a) the location and design of the Interconnection Point or any Other Physical Connection Points, (b) the location and design of the Bridge, and (c) any Material Modification from the Improvements in existence immediately prior to such Casualty), or (ii) elect not to rebuild or replace such damaged Improvements, in which event Lessee shall cause the distribution of the Casualty Proceeds in the following order and priority, in each case, subject to Leasehold Mortgagee making such Casualty Proceeds available therefor and any other rights of Leasehold Mortgagee: (1) first, to Leasehold Mortgagee, in accordance with Section 21.2.10; (2) second, to Lessee, to fund the activities described in Section 19.3; (3) third, to Lessor, to refund an amount equal to (A) that portion of the TI Allowance actually paid to Lessee, multiplied by (B) the Insurance to Replacement Cost Ratio (the “TI Allowance Refund”); and (4) fourth, to Lessee, as to any balance remaining. Lessee shall be liable to Lessor under clause (ii) above for the TI Allowance Refund regardless of whether Leasehold Mortgagee makes such Casualty Proceeds available therefor or any Casualty Proceeds are remaining after the payment of the amounts in subclauses (1) and (2) above, which obligation shall survive the termination of this Lease. Lessee shall make its election in writing (the “Casualty Election Notice”) as to whether or not to rebuild the damaged Improvements no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after any Casualty event. In the event that Lessee elects not to rebuild, repair or replace the damaged Improvements pursuant to clause (ii)  above, and as a consequence of such election not to rebuild the Project would remain completely inoperable (e.g., a total Casualty has occurred), then Lessee’s Casualty Election Notice shall also serve to terminate this Lease. Notwithstanding any election by Lessee not to rebuild or replace damaged Improvements pursuant to clause (ii) above, (A) all of Lessee’s obligations set forth in this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, including without limitation Lessee’s obligation to maintain, repair, operate, and manage the Property in accordance with the Building Standard pursuant to Section 7 herein and to construct any alterations or additions to the Improvements in accordance with Section 8 herein and (B) Lessee shall ensure that the Improvements continue to include an approximately 350,000 square foot, first-class, multi-function event venue with capacity of at least 16,000 seats.

		
	19.2.
	No Effect on Lease. Except as specifically provided in Section 19.1, this Lease shall not terminate or be forfeited or be affected in any manner by reason of damage to or total, substantial or partial destruction of the Premises or the Improvements or any part or parts thereof or by reason of the untenantability of the same or any part thereof, for or due to any reason or cause whatsoever, and Lessee, notwithstanding any law or statute present or future, waives any and all rights to quit or surrender the Premises or any part thereof, Lessee acknowledging and agreeing that the provisions of this Section 19 shall govern the rights and remedies of the parties in the event of a Casualty. Lessee expressly agrees that its obligations hereunder, including the payment of the Lessor’s Participation Payment and any other sums due hereunder, shall continue as though said Premises and/or Improvements had not been damaged or destroyed and without abatement, suspension, diminution or reduction of any kind, but with an appropriate reduction to be made to the Minimum Event Levels as mutually agreed upon in good faith by Lessor and Lessee.

		
	19.3.
	If Lessee terminates this Lease pursuant to Section 19.1, then Lessor may, by written notice delivered to Lessee, require Lessee, at Lessee’s sole expense, to tear down and remove, prior to the termination 

A-11

of this Lease, all or a portion of the Improvements (at Lessor’s sole option and direction), including the debris resulting therefrom, and to otherwise clean and restore the area affected by such casualty to a level and clean and reasonably safe and secure condition, which obligation shall survive the termination of this Lease.
                                                        
		
	25.4
	Termination by Lessee for Unforeseeable Conditions. Lessee may terminate this Lease upon reasonable prior written notice to Lessor (an “Unforeseeable Condition Termination”) prior to the Outside Unforeseeable Condition Date if, prior to completion of the excavation of the Premises in connection with the Project, soil, geotechnical, environmental, or other unknown and reasonably unforeseeable physical conditions of the Premises (“Unforeseen Conditions”) are discovered which are reasonably expected to increase budgeted Project costs by more than [*****] in Lessee’s good faith and reasonable estimation based on reasonable documentary evidence provided to Lessor, unless (i) within ninety (90) days of Lessee’s Unforeseeable Condition Termination notice Lessor gives Lessee written notice (Lessor having no obligation to do so) of Lessor’s election to bear the incremental costs above [*****] of such Unforeseen Conditions, which election shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Lessee and (ii) such Unforeseen Conditions shall not result in a material delay in the Development Completion Date for the Project. If Lessor elects to cure any Unforeseen Condition, Lessor shall cure the same within such period to be reasonably agreed upon in writing by Lessor and Lessee based on an independent third party contractor estimate of the time for such cure, and to the extent such cure results in an actual delay in the Development Completion Date, the Outside Development Completion Date shall be extended by such period. “Outside Unforeseeable Condition Date” shall mean not later than thirty (30) days following completion of excavation and prior to pouring of the foundation of the Project. In the event of an Unforeseeable Condition Termination, Lessee shall, at its expense, deliver the Premises to Lessor upon such termination in a reasonably safe and secure condition. ANY NOTICE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 25.4 SHALL BE INVALID UNLESS THE SAME CONTAINS A LEGEND IN BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED AT THE TOP OF SUCH NOTICE THAT FAILURE TO RESPOND TO SUCH NOTICE MIGHT RESULT IN THE TERMINATION OF THE LEASE.

		
	25.5. 
	Termination by Lessor for Pre-Existing Hazardous Materials. Prior to Development Completion, Lessor may terminate this Lease upon reasonable prior written notice to Lessee if Pre-Existing Hazardous Materials are discovered at the Premises that are the obligation of Lessor to pay for or mitigate and that cost in excess of [*****] in Lessor’s good faith and reasonable estimation based on reasonable documentary evidence provided to Lessee, unless Lessee agrees in writing (Lessee having no obligation to do so) no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Lessor that Lessee will bear the incremental costs associated with such Pre-Existing Hazardous Materials above [*****] which agreement shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Lessor. “Pre-Existing Hazardous Materials” shall mean Hazardous Materials in the environment, including surface water, groundwater and land surface and subsurface strata, in such quantities, concentrations and locations as were present at the Premises prior to the Lease Commencement Date, but shall not include any Hazardous Materials arising as a result of the actions of Lessee or its agents, contractors, employees or others acting by through or under Lessee. ANY NOTICE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 25.5 SHALL BE INVALID UNLESS THE SAME CONTAINS A LEGEND IN BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED AT THE TOP OF SUCH NOTICE THAT FAILURE TO RESPOND TO SUCH NOTICE MIGHT RESULT IN THE TERMINATION OF THE LEASE.

SCHEDULE E-1
CONTRACTOR’S FEE
A.     Contractor’s Fee
		
	1.1
	The Contractor shall be paid the Contractor’s Fee in accordance with the terms of this Schedule and the Agreement.

1.2    The Contractor’s Fee shall be calculated as follows:
		
	(a)
	on the portion of the actual Cost of the Work that is less than or equal to the Initial Incentive Benchmark and subject to Section 1.3 of this Schedule E-1, Contractor shall be paid the amount of [*****] of the Cost of the Work as the Contractor’s Fee;

		
	(b)
	on the portion, if any, of the actual Cost of the Work that is between the Initial Incentive Benchmark and the Incentive Benchmark, Contractor shall be paid the amount of [*****] of the Cost of the Work as the Contractor’s Fee, with such Fee to only apply to the Work performed within the foregoing incremental amounts;

		
	(c)
	on the portion, if any, of the actual Cost of the Work that is between the Incentive Benchmark and the amount that is [*****] above the Incentive Benchmark, Contractor shall be paid the amount of [*****] of the Cost of the Work as the Contractor’s Fee, with such Fee to only apply to the work performed within the foregoing incremental amounts;

		
	(d)
	on the portion, if any, of the actual Cost of the Work that is above the number that is [*****] above the Incentive Benchmark, Contractor shall be paid the amount of [*****] of the Cost of the Work as the Contractor’s Fee, with such Fee to apply to only the Work performed within the foregoing incremental amounts; provided, however, that for every [*****] above such [*****] amount, the Fee shall reduce by [*****].

Throughout the performance of the Work, at such times as the actual Cost of the Work causes the Contractor’s Fee to move into the next band in accordance with the above, MSG shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify Contractor in writing of such fact and shall automatically apply the Contractor’s Fee for the next band in subsequent Applications for Payment.
		
	1.3

	1.4
	With each Application for Payment submitted by Contractor pursuant to Article 13, Contractor shall submit evidence of its satisfaction of the Key Performance Indicators in Section 1.3 of this Schedule E-1. To the extent Contractor can demonstrate at Final Completion, to MSG’s reasonable satisfaction, that it has satisfied the Key Performance Indicators on a monthly basis, MSG shall increase the Contractor’s Fee in accordance with Section 1.3 above, up to a maximum of [*****], with such additional Contractor’s Fee to be paid as part of Contractor’s final payment. For the avoidance of doubt, achievement or non-achievement of the KPIs 

E-1-1

by Contractor, or the payment or non-payment by MSG of the additional Contractor’s Fee, pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall not relieve either Party of their rights or remedies pursuant to, or their obligations to comply with, the terms of this Agreement. 

B.    Flat Fee Pursuant to Section 4.5.6(c) of the Agreement

The flat fee shall be [*****] of the Cost of the Work performed by Contractor (with no increase or decrease in the Contractor’s Fee as outlined in Section 1.4 of this Schedule E-1).
