the Cost of the Work, the Construction Manager’s contingency described in Section 3.2.4, and the Construction Manager’s Fee described in Section 6.1.2.
§ 3.2.2 To the extent that the Contract Documents are anticipated to require further development, the Guaranteed Maximum Price includes the Construction Manager’s costs of costs attributable to such further development consistent with the Contract Documents and reasonably inferable therefrom. Such further development does not include changes in scope, systems, kinds and quality of materials, finishes, or equipment, all of which, if required, shall be incorporated by Change Order.
§ 3.2.3 The Construction Manager shall include with the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal a written statement of its basis, which shall include the following:
		.1
	A list of the Drawings and Specifications, including all Addenda thereto, and the Conditions of the Contract;

		.3
	A statement of the proposed Guaranteed Maximum Price, including a statement of the estimated Cost of the Work organized by trade categories or systems, including allowances; the Construction Manager’s contingency set forth in Section 3.2.4; and the Construction Manager’s Fee;

		.4

		.5
	A date by which the Owner must accept the Guaranteed Maximum Price.

§ 3.2.4 In preparing the Construction Manager’s Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal, the Construction Manager shall include a contingency for the Construction Manager’s exclusive use to cover those costs that are included in the Guaranteed Maximum Price but not otherwise allocated to another line item or included in a Change Order. The Construction Manager is authorized to use the contingency as follows:
		1.
	To carry out the full original intent of the documents, including Architect’s Supplemental Instructions, RFI responses, or other design coordination that may generate extra costs from time to time. This would not include any change in scope or other items that the Construction Manager could not have reasonably inferred from the Contract Documents.

		2.
	Pay for performance of work within the scope of the contract including work that was unallocated or not included in the scope of the subcontracts.

		3.
	Unforeseen delays.

		4.
	Weather protection and repairing damage done by weather.

		5.
	Other Cost of the Work included in Article 6.1 that has not been included as a specific item in the Guaranteed Maximum Price.

		6.
	Other unforeseen costs related to the project.

Any balance remaining in the Contingency line item will be used in the calculation in shared savings as outlined in Article 6.1.7 along with any other line item savings.
§ 3.2.5 The Construction Manager shall meet with the Owner to review the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal. In the event that the Owner or its agents discover any inconsistencies or inaccuracies in the information presented, they shall promptly notify the Construction Manager, who shall make appropriate adjustments to the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal, its basis, or both.
§ 3.2.6 If the Owner notifies the Construction Manager that the Owner has accepted the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal in writing before the date specified in the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal, the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal shall be deemed effective without further acceptance from the Construction Manager. Following acceptance of a Guaranteed Maximum Price, the Owner and Construction Manager shall execute one or more Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendments amending this Agreement. The Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendments shall set forth the agreed upon Guaranteed Maximum Price with the information and assumptions upon which it is based.

§ 6.1 Contract Sum
§ 6.1.1 The Owner shall pay the Construction Manager the Contract Sum in current funds for the Construction Manager’s performance of the Contract after execution of the Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment. The Contract Sum is the Cost of the Work as defined in Article 7 plus the Construction Manager’s Fee.
§ 6.1.2 The Construction Manager’s Fee:
(State a lump sum, percentage of Cost of the Work or other provision for determining the Construction Manager’s Fee.)
The Construction Manager’s Fee will be an amount equal to three and one-half percent of the sum of: (i) the Cost of the Work: and (ii) the cost of Owner-furnished materials and equipment that are to be installed by the Construction Manager in conjunction with the Contract Documents.
The concrete scope of the Project will be performed by the Construction Manager’s own forces for a stipulated sum to be agreed and identified in the Construction Manager’s Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal. Concrete scope performed by Construction Manager’s own forces will be considered to be subcontracted Work for purposes of the Project. Subject to Construction Manager’s rights with respect to changes in the Work as set forth in the Contract Documents, Construction Manager shall hold the risk of increases or overages relative to the costs assumed in the calculation of the stipulated sum.  Notwithstanding Section 3.2.4, Construction Manager’s contingency shall not be available to offset any such increases or overages.
§ 6.1.3 The method of adjustment of the Construction Manager’s Fee for changes in the Work:
The same percentage as set forth in Section 6.1.2 above.
§ 6.1.4 Limitations, if any, on a Subcontractor’s overhead and profit for increases in the cost of its portion of the Work:
Subcontractor’s overhead and profit for increases in the cost of its portion of the Work will be capped at ten percent (10.0%) and five percent (5.0%), respectively. The foregoing limitation shall not apply to certain subcontracts involving the offsite fabrication and/or logistics of subcontracted Work, as mutually agreed between Construction Manager and Owner.

(Insert terms and conditions for liquidated damages, if any.)
In the event that the Construction Manager does not achieve Substantial Completion on or before the date that is thirty (30) days following the date of Substantial Completion established in the schedule (the “LD Date”), then the Construction Manager shall pay to Owner (or Owner may withhold payments to Construction Manager) as liquidated damages, but not as a penalty, the following amounts: (i) $1,500 for each day of delay, for the first thirty (30) days following the LD Date; and (ii) then $2,500 for each day of delay thereafter until Construction Manager achieves Substantial Completion (hereinafter collectively the “Liquidated Damages”).

acknowledge that if Construction Manager does not timely perform, Owner could suffer substantial damages, including loss of revenue and other operating and construction cost and charges. Construction Manager agrees that the amount of actual damages that the Owner suffers in such an event will be difficult to calculate, and that the amount of the Liquidated Damages is a reasonable estimate of those damages.
For avoidance of doubt, Construction Manager and Owner acknowledge that Substantial Completion of the Work for purposes of calculating Liquidated Damages shall mean that the Construction Manager has completed the Work such that a temporary certificate of occupancy could be obtained (exclusive of any Work outside the scope of the Construction Manager’s scope of Work or items that are beyond the Construction Manager’s control) and the Project is ready to receive installation of the Owner installed equipment and/or furnishings.
Owner agrees that Liquidated Damages shall be Owner’s sole remedy against Construction Manager for delay and/or failure to timely achieve Substantial Completion. This Section 6.1.6 notwithstanding, Construction Manager and Owner hereby agree the total amount of Liquidated Damages to be paid to Owner (or withheld by Owner from payments to Construction Manager) shall not exceed an amount that is equal to fifty percent (50%) of the total Construction Manager’s Fee (as adjusted to reflect changes in the Work) that is payable under this Agreement.
§ 6.1.7 Other:
(Insert provisions for bonus, cost savings or other incentives, if any, that might result in a change to the Contract Sum.)
To the extent the Contract Sum is less than the Guaranteed Maximum Price, then the difference (herein called “Savings”) shall be shared 75% to Owner and 25% to Contractor.  The calculation of Savings shall not include any amounts remaining in the design contingency budget at the completion of subcontract buyout (which shall accrue to the sole benefit of the Owner). Savings shall be paid at the time of Final Payment on the Contract.
§ 6.2 Guaranteed Maximum Price
The Construction Manager guarantees that the Contract Sum shall not exceed the Guaranteed Maximum Price set forth in the Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment, subject to additions and deductions by Change Order as provided in the Contract Documents. This Contract is not a line-item guaranteed maximum price contract.  Costs which would cause the Guaranteed Maximum Price to be exceeded shall be paid by the Construction Manager without reimbursement by the Owner.
§ 6.3 Changes in the Work
§ 6.3.1 The Owner may, without invalidating the Contract, order changes in the Work within the general scope of the Contract consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions. The Owner shall issue such changes in writing. The Construction Manager may be entitled to an equitable adjustment in the Contract Time as a result of changes in the Work.
§ 6.3.1.1 The Architect may order minor changes in the Work as provided in Article 7 of AIA Document A201–2017, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction.
§ 6.3.2 Adjustments to the Guaranteed Maximum Price on account of changes in the Work subsequent to the execution of the Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment may be determined by any of the methods listed in Article 7 of AIA Document A201–2017, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction.
§ 6.3.3 Adjustments to subcontracts awarded on the basis of a stipulated sum shall be determined in accordance with Article 7 of A201–2017, as they refer to “cost” and “fee,” and not by Articles 6 and 7 of this Agreement. Adjustments to subcontracts awarded with the Owner’s prior written consent on the basis of cost plus a fee shall be calculated in accordance with the terms of those subcontracts.
§ 6.3.4 In calculating adjustments to the Guaranteed Maximum Price, the terms “cost” and “costs” as used in Article 7 of AIA Document A201–2017 shall mean the Cost of the Work as defined in Article 7 of this Agreement and the term “fee” shall mean the Construction Manager’s Fee as defined in Section 6.1.2 of this Agreement.
§ 6.3.5 [Intentionally deleted.]

§ 8.2 Amounts that accrue to the Owner in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1 shall be credited to the Owner as a deduction from the Cost of the Work.
ARTICLE 9     SUBCONTRACTS AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
§ 9.1 Those portions of the Work that the Construction Manager does not customarily perform with the Construction Manager’s own personnel shall be performed under subcontracts or other appropriate agreements with the Construction Manager. The Owner may designate specific persons from whom, or entities from which, the Construction Manager shall obtain bids. The Construction Manager shall obtain bids from Subcontractors, and from suppliers of materials or equipment fabricated especially for the Work, who are qualified to perform that portion of the Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents. The Construction Manager shall deliver such bids to the Architect and Owner with an indication as to which bids the Construction Manager intends to accept. The Owner then has the right to review the Construction Manager’s list of proposed subcontractors and suppliers in consultation with the Architect and, subject to Section 9.1.1, to object to any subcontractor or supplier. Any advice of the Architect, or approval or objection by the Owner, shall not relieve the Construction Manager of its responsibility to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. The Construction Manager shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom the Construction Manager has reasonable objection.
§ 9.1.1 When a specific subcontractor or supplier (1) is recommended to the Owner by the Construction Manager; (2) is qualified to perform that portion of the Work; and (3) has submitted a bid that conforms to the requirements of the Contract Documents without reservations or exceptions, but the Owner requires that another bid be accepted, then the Construction Manager may require that a Change Order be issued to appropriately adjust the Guaranteed Maximum Price.
§ 9.2 Subcontracts or other agreements shall conform to the applicable payment provisions of this Agreement, and shall not be awarded on the basis of cost plus a fee without the Owner’s prior written approval. If a subcontract is awarded on the basis of cost plus a fee, the Construction Manager shall provide in the subcontract for the Owner to receive the same audit rights with regard to the Subcontractor as the Owner receives with regard to the Construction Manager in Article 10.
ARTICLE 10     ACCOUNTING RECORDS
The Construction Manager shall keep full and detailed records and accounts related to the Cost of the Work, and exercise such controls, as may be necessary for proper financial management under this Contract and to substantiate all costs incurred. The accounting and control systems shall be satisfactory to the Owner. The Owner and the Owner’s auditors shall, during regular business hours and upon reasonable notice, be afforded access to, and shall be permitted to audit and copy, the Construction Manager’s records and accounts, including complete documentation supporting accounting entries, books, job cost reports, correspondence, instructions, drawings, receipts, subcontracts, Subcontractor’s proposals, Subcontractor’s invoices, purchase orders, vouchers, memoranda, and other data relating to this Contract. The Construction Manager shall preserve these records for a period of three years after final payment, or for such longer period as may be required by law.
ARTICLE 11     PAYMENTS FOR CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES
§ 11.1 Progress Payments
§ 11.1.1 Based upon Applications for Payment submitted to the Architect or Owner by the Construction Manager, and Certificates for Payment issued by the Architect or Owner, the Owner shall make progress payments on account of the Contract Sum, to the Construction Manager, as provided below and elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
§ 11.1.2 The period covered by each Application for Payment shall be one calendar month ending on the last day of the month.
§ 11.1.3 The Construction Manager shall submit its complete Application for Payment to the Architect and the Owner on or about the first business day of the month for Work performed during the prior calendar month.  The Architect and the Owner shall review and approve or reject the Application for Payment within 14 days of receipt in accordance with this section, Article 9 of AIA Document A201–2017 and Owner shall pay on approved Applications for Payment within seven days after approval.
§ 11.1.4 With each Application for Payment, the Construction Manager shall submit payrolls, petty cash accounts, receipted invoices or invoices with check vouchers attached, and any other evidence required by the Owner or Architect to demonstrate

that payments already made by the Construction Manager on account of the Cost of the Work equal or exceed progress payments already received by the Construction Manager, plus payrolls for the period covered by the present Application for Payment, less that portion of the progress payments attributable to the Construction Manager’s Fee. The Construction Manager shall submit lien waivers in the form prescribed by ARS § 33-1008(D) with each Application for Payment, conditional upon payment for the amounts set forth in the current Application for Payment, and unconditional for the amounts previously paid by the Owner on prior Applications for Payment.
§ 11.1.5 Each Application for Payment shall be based on the most recent schedule of values submitted by the Construction Manager in accordance with the Contract Documents. The schedule of values shall allocate the entire Guaranteed Maximum Price among: (1) the various portions of the Work; (2) any contingency for costs that are included in the Guaranteed Maximum Price but not otherwise allocated to another line item or included in a Change Order; and (3) the Construction Manager’s Fee.
§ 11.1.5.1 The schedule of values shall be prepared in such form and supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as the Architect may require. The schedule of values shall be used as a basis for reviewing the Construction Manager’s Applications for Payment.
§ 11.1.5.2 The allocation of the Guaranteed Maximum Price under this Section 11.1.5 shall not constitute a separate guaranteed maximum price for the Cost of the Work of each individual line item in the schedule of values.
§ 11.1.5.3 When the Construction Manager allocates costs from a contingency to another line item in the schedule of values, the Construction Manager shall submit supporting documentation to the Architect.
§ 11.1.6 Applications for Payment shall show the percentage of completion of each portion of the Work as of the end of the period covered by the Application for Payment. The percentage of completion shall be the lesser of (1) the percentage of that portion of the Work which has actually been completed, or (2) the percentage obtained by dividing (a) the expense that has actually been incurred by the Construction Manager on account of that portion of the Work and for which the Construction Manager has made payment or intends to make payment prior to the next Application for Payment, by (b) the share of the Guaranteed Maximum Price allocated to that portion of the Work in the schedule of values.
§ 11.1.7 In accordance with AIA Document A201–2017 and subject to other provisions of the Contract Documents, the amount of each progress payment shall be computed as follows:
§ 11.1.7.1 The amount of each progress payment shall first include:
		.1
	That portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Price properly allocable to completed Work as determined by multiplying the percentage of completion of each portion of the Work by the share of the Guaranteed Maximum Price allocated to that portion of the Work in the most recent schedule of values;

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

		.3
	That portion of Construction Change Directives that the Architect determines, in the Architect’s professional judgment, to be reasonably justified; and

		.4
	The Construction Manager’s Fee, computed upon the Cost of the Work described in the preceding Sections 11.1.7.1.1 and 11.1.7.1.2 at the rate stated in Section 6.1.2 or, if the Construction Manager’s Fee is stated as a fixed sum in that Section, an amount that bears the same ratio to that fixed-sum fee as the Cost of the Work included in Sections 11.1.7.1.1 and 11.1.7.1.2 bears to a reasonable estimate of the probable Cost of the Work upon its completion.

§ 11.1.7.2 The amount of each progress payment shall then be reduced by:
		.1
	The aggregate of any amounts previously paid by the Owner;

		.2
	The amount, if any, for Work that remains uncorrected and for which the Architect has previously withheld a Certificate for Payment as provided in Article 9 of AIA Document A201–2017;

		.3
	Any amount for which the Construction Manager does not intend to pay a Subcontractor or material supplier, unless the Work has been performed by others the Construction Manager intends to pay;

		.4
	For Work performed or defects discovered since the last payment application, any amount for which the Architect may withhold payment, or nullify a Certificate of Payment in whole or in part, as provided in Article 9 of AIA Document A201–2017;

§ 11.1.8.2 Reduction or limitation of retainage, if any, shall be as follows:
(If the retainage established in Section 11.1.8.1 is to be modified prior to Substantial Completion of the entire Work, insert provisions for such modification.)
When the Project is 50% completed, and within 30 days of Construction Manager’s request, the Owner shall pay to the Construction Manager one-half of the amount retained if the Construction Manager is making satisfactory progress on the Project and there is no specific cause or claim required a greater amount to be retained. Subject to the approval of the Owner, retainage shall also be released from early finishing trade subcontractors whose Work has been inspected and accepted.
§ 11.1.8.3 Except as set forth in this Section 11.1.8.3, upon Substantial Completion of the Work, the Construction Manager may submit an Application for Payment that includes the retainage withheld from prior Applications for Payment pursuant to this Section 11.1.8.

§ 11.1.12 In taking action on the Construction Manager’s Applications for Payment the Architect shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of the information furnished by the Construction Manager, and such action shall not be deemed to be a representation that (1) the Architect has made a detailed examination, audit, or arithmetic verification, of the documentation submitted in accordance with Section 11.1.4 or other supporting data; (2) that the Architect has made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections; or (3) that the Architect has made examinations to ascertain how or for what purposes the Construction Manager has used amounts previously paid on account of the Contract. Such examinations, audits, and verifications, if required by the Owner, will be performed by the Owner’s auditors acting in the sole interest of the Owner.

§ 11.2 Final Payment
§ 11.2.1 Final payment, constituting the entire unpaid balance of the Contract Sum, including all retainage and any savings owed, shall be made by the Owner to the Construction Manager when
		.1
	the Construction Manager has fully performed the Contract, except for the Construction Manager’s responsibility to correct Work as provided in Article 12 of AIA Document A201–2017, and to satisfy other requirements, if any, which extend beyond final payment;

		.2
	the Construction Manager has submitted a final accounting for the Cost of the Work and a final Application for Payment; and

		.3
	a final Certificate for Payment has been issued by the Architect in accordance with Section 11.2.2.2.

§ 11.2.2 Within 30 days of the Owner’s receipt of the Construction Manager’s final accounting for the Cost of the Work, the Owner shall conduct an audit of the Cost of the Work or notify the Architect that it will not conduct an audit.
§ 11.2.2.1 If the Owner conducts an audit of the Cost of the Work, the Owner shall, within 10 days after completion of the audit, submit a written report based upon the auditors’ findings to the Architect.
§ 11.2.2.2 Within seven days after receipt of the written report described in Section 11.2.2.1, or receipt of notice that the Owner will not conduct an audit, and provided that the other conditions of Section 11.2.1 have been met, the Architect will either issue to the Owner a final Certificate for Payment with a copy to the Construction Manager, or notify the Construction Manager and Owner in writing of the Architect’s reasons for withholding a certificate as provided in Article 9 of AIA Document A201–2017. The time periods stated in this Section 11.2.2 supersede those stated in Article 9 of AIA Document A201–2017. The Architect is not responsible for verifying the accuracy of the Construction Manager’s final accounting.
§ 11.2.2.3 If the Owner’s auditors’ report concludes that the Cost of the Work, as substantiated by the Construction Manager’s final accounting, is less than claimed by the Construction Manager, the Construction Manager shall be entitled to request mediation of the disputed amount without seeking an initial decision pursuant to Article 15 of AIA Document A201–2017. A request for mediation shall be made by the Construction Manager within 30 days after the Construction Manager’s receipt of a copy of the Architect’s final Certificate for Payment. Failure to request mediation within this 30-day period shall result in the substantiated amount reported by the Owner’s auditors becoming binding on the Construction Manager. Pending a final resolution of the disputed amount, the Owner shall pay the Construction Manager the amount certified in the Architect’s final Certificate for Payment.
§ 11.2.3 The Owner’s final payment to the Construction Manager shall be made no later than 7 days after the issuance of the final Certificate for Payment.
§ 11.2.4 If, subsequent to final payment, and at the Owner’s request, the Construction Manager incurs costs, described in Sections 7.1 through 7.7, and not excluded by Section 7.9, to correct defective or nonconforming Work, the Owner shall reimburse the Construction Manager for such costs, and the Construction Manager’s Fee applicable thereto, on the same basis as if such costs had been incurred prior to final payment, but not in excess of the Guaranteed Maximum Price. If adjustments to the Contract Sum are provided for in Section 6.1.7, the amount of those adjustments shall be recalculated, taking into account any reimbursements made pursuant to this Section 11.2.4 in determining the net amount to be paid by the Owner to the Construction Manager.
§ 11.3 Interest
Payments due and unpaid under the Contract shall bear interest from the date payment is due at the rate stated below, or in the absence thereof, at the legal rate prevailing from time to time at the place where the Project is located.
(Insert rate of interest agreed upon, if any.)
1.5 % per month simple
ARTICLE 12     DISPUTE RESOLUTION
§ 12.1 [Intentionally deleted.]

In no event shall the Construction Manager’s compensation under this Section exceed the compensation set forth in Section 5.1.
§ 13.1.3 Prior to the execution of the Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment, the Owner may terminate this Agreement upon not less than seven days’ written notice to the Construction Manager for the Owner’s convenience and without cause, and the Construction Manager may terminate this Agreement, upon not less than seven days’ written notice to the Owner, for the reasons set forth in Article 14 of A201–2017.

§ 13.1.5 If the Owner terminates the Contract pursuant to Section 13.1.3 after the commencement of the Construction Phase but prior to the execution of the Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment, the Owner shall pay to the Construction Manager an amount calculated as follows, which amount shall be in addition to any compensation paid to the Construction Manager under Section 13.1.4:
		.1
	Take the Cost of the Work incurred by the Construction Manager to the date of termination;

		.2
	Add the Construction Manager’s Fee computed upon the Cost of the Work to the date of termination at the rate stated in Section 6.1 or, if the Construction Manager’s Fee is stated as a fixed sum in that Section, an amount that bears the same ratio to that fixed-sum Fee as the Cost of the Work at the time of termination bears to a reasonable estimate of the probable Cost of the Work upon its completion; and

		.3
	Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner for Construction Phase services.

§ 13.1.6 The Owner shall also pay the Construction Manager fair compensation, either by purchase or rental at the election of the Owner, for any equipment owned by the Construction Manager that the Owner elects to retain and that is not otherwise included in the Cost of the Work under Section 13.1.5.1. To the extent that the Owner elects to take legal assignment of subcontracts and purchase orders (including rental agreements), the Construction Manager shall, as a condition of receiving the payments referred to in this Article 13, execute and deliver all such papers and take all such steps, including the legal assignment of such subcontracts and other contractual rights of the Construction Manager, as the Owner may require for the purpose of fully vesting in the Owner the rights and benefits of the Construction Manager under such subcontracts or purchase orders. All Subcontracts, purchase orders and rental agreements entered into by the Construction Manager will contain provisions allowing for assignment to the Owner as described above.
§ 13.1.6.1 If the Owner accepts assignment of subcontracts, purchase orders or rental agreements as described above, the Owner will reimburse or indemnify the Construction Manager for all costs arising under the subcontract, purchase order or rental agreement, which are incurred by the Construction Manager prior to the assignment, if those costs would have been reimbursable as Cost of the Work if the contract had not been terminated. If the Owner chooses not to accept assignment of any subcontract, purchase order or rental agreement that would have constituted a Cost of the Work had

ARTICLE 1   GENERAL PROVISIONS
§ 1.1 Basic Definitions
§ 1.1.1 The Contract Documents
The Contract Documents are enumerated in the Agreement between the Owner and Contractor (hereinafter the Agreement) and consist of the Agreement, Conditions of the Contract (General, Supplementary and other Conditions), Drawings, Specifications, Addenda issued prior to execution of the Contract, other documents listed in the Agreement, and Modifications issued after execution of the Contract. A Modification is (1) a written amendment to the Contract signed by both parties, (2) a Change Order, (3) a Construction Change Directive, or (4) a written order for a minor change in the Work issued by the Architect. Unless specifically enumerated in the Agreement, the Contract Documents do not include the advertisement or invitation to bid, Instructions to Bidders, sample forms, other information furnished by the Owner in anticipation of receiving bids or proposals, the Contractor’s bid or proposal, or portions of Addenda relating to bidding or proposal requirements.
​
§ 1.1.2 The Contract
The Contract Documents form the Contract for Construction. The Contract represents the entire and integrated agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes prior negotiations, representations, or agreements, either written or oral. The Contract may be amended or modified only by a Modification. The Contract Documents shall not be construed to create a contractual relationship of any kind (1) between the Contractor and the Architect or the Architect’s consultants, (2) between the Owner and a Subcontractor or a Sub-subcontractor, except as set forth in Sections 5.3 and 5.4, (3) between the Owner and the Architect or the Architect’s consultants, (4) between any separate contractor hired by the Owner pursuant to the Contract Documents and specifically enumerated in Article 6 of this document and the Contractor, or (5) between any persons or entities other than the Owner and the Contractor. The Architect shall, however, be entitled to performance and enforcement of obligations under the Contract intended to facilitate performance of the Architect’s duties.
​
§ 1.1.3 The Work
The term “Work” means the construction and services required by the Contract Documents, whether completed or partially completed, and includes all other labor, materials, equipment, and services provided or to be provided by the Contractor to fulfill the Contractor’s obligations. The Work may constitute the whole or a part of the Project but shall not include any work specifically intended in the Contract Documents to be the responsibility of others..
​
§ 1.1.4 The Project
The Project is the total construction of which the Work performed under the Contract Documents may be the whole or a part and which may include construction by the Owner and by Separate Contractors.
​
§ 1.1.5 The Drawings
The Drawings are the graphic and pictorial portions of the Contract Documents showing the design, location and dimensions of the Work, generally including plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules, and diagrams.
​
§ 1.1.6 The Specifications
The Specifications are that portion of the Contract Documents consisting of the written requirements for materials, equipment, systems, standards and workmanship for the Work, and performance of related services.
​
§ 1.1.7 Instruments of Service
Instruments of Service are representations, in any medium of expression now known or later developed, of the tangible and intangible creative work performed by the Architect and the Architect’s consultants under their respective professional services agreements. Instruments of Service may include, without limitation, studies, surveys, models, sketches, drawings, specifications, and other similar materials.
​
§ 1.1.8 Coronavirus (COVID-19) Provisions
Specific provisions applicable to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic are set forth in sections 8.3, 10.1, 10.3, 14.1, and 14.3.
​
§ 1.2 Correlation and Intent of the Contract Documents
§ 1.2.1 The intent of the Contract Documents is to include all items necessary for the proper execution and completion of the Work by the Contractor. The Contract Documents are complementary, and what is required by one shall be as binding as if required by all; performance by the Contractor shall be required only to the extent

consistent with the Contract Documents and reasonably inferable from them as being necessary to produce the indicated results.
​
§ 1.2.1.1 The invalidity of any provision of the Contract Documents shall not invalidate the Contract or its remaining provisions. If it is determined that any provision of the Contract Documents violates any law, or is otherwise invalid or unenforceable, then that provision shall be revised to the extent necessary to make that provision legal and enforceable. In such case the Contract Documents shall be construed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to give effect to the parties’ intentions and purposes in executing the Contract.
​
§ 1.2.2 Organization of the Specifications into divisions, sections and articles, and arrangement of Drawings shall not control the Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or in establishing the extent of Work to be performed by any trade.
​
§ 1.2.3 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, words that have well-known technical or construction industry meanings are used in the Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized meanings.
​
§ 1.2.4 In the event of conflicts, inconsistencies, discrepancies or ambiguities between or among the Contract Documents, interpretations shall be based on the following order of precedence:
​
		.1
	Modifications of the Contract, with those of later date having precedence over those of earlier date, and with those of the same date having precedence based upon Clauses .2 through .6 of this Section 1.2.4;

		.2
	the Agreement;

		.3
	these General Conditions;

		.4
	Addenda, with those of later date having precedence over those of earlier date;

		.5
	the Drawings, with those in larger scale having precedence over those in smaller scale, and with notes and schedules thereon having precedence over the remainder; and

		.6
	the Specifications.

​
§ 1.2.5 In the event of conflicts, inconsistencies, discrepancies or ambiguities between or among the Drawings, or between or among the Specifications, remaining after application of Section 1.2.4, those Drawings or Specifications of later date shall have precedence over those of earlier date. If a conflict, inconsistency, discrepancy or ambiguity nonetheless remains, the Contractor shall provide written notice thereof to the Architect and Owner. Thereafter, unless otherwise ordered in writing by the Architect, the Contractor shall provide the better quality of, and the greater quantity of, the Work. The provisions of this Section 1.2.5 shall apply only to conflicts, inconsistencies, discrepancies or ambiguities in express requirements of the Drawings and Specifications and not to interpretations thereof by the Owner or Architect.
​
§ 1.3 Capitalization
Terms capitalized in these General Conditions include those that are (1) specifically defined, (2) the titles of numbered articles, or (3) the titles of other documents published by the American Institute of Architects.
​
§ 1.4 Interpretation
In the interest of brevity the Contract Documents frequently omit modifying words such as “all” and “any” and articles such as “the” and “an,” but the fact that a modifier or an article is absent from one statement and appears in another is not intended to affect the interpretation of either statement.  “Include” means “include but is not limited to,” “includes” means “includes but is not limited to” and “including” means “including but not limited to,” whether or not expressly stated as such.
​
§ 1.4.2 The misplacement, addition, or omission of any letter, word, or punctuation mark shall in no way affect the true spirit, intent, or meaning of the Contract Documents.
​
§ 1.4.3 References in these General Conditions to numbered Sections, Items, and other provisions shall be references to such numbered provisions within these General Conditions unless expressly stated otherwise. As such references in these General Conditions to numbered provisions of the Agreement shall expressly reference the Agreement.

Any such requests for information, comments, or recommendations are for the sole and exclusive benefit of Contractor and shall not be construed as being specifically required or assuming design responsibility in any respect.
​
§ 1.6 Notice

​
§ 1.7 Digital Data Use and Transmission
The parties shall agree upon protocols governing the transmission and use of Instruments of Service or any other information or documentation in digital form. The parties may use AIA Document E203TM–2013, Building Information Modeling and Digital Data Exhibit, to establish the protocols for the development, use, transmission, and exchange of digital data.
​
§ 1.8 Building Information Models Use and Reliance
Any use of, or reliance on, all or a portion of a building information model without agreement to protocols governing the use of, and reliance on, the information contained in the model and without having those protocols set forth in AIA Document E203TM–2013, Building Information Modeling and Digital Data Exhibit, and the requisite AIA Document G202TM–2013, Project Building Information Modeling Protocol Form, shall be at the using or relying party’s sole risk and without liability to the other party and its contractors or consultants, the authors of, or contributors to, the building information model, and each of their agents and employees.
​
ARTICLE 2   OWNER
§ 2.1 General
§ 2.1.1 The Owner is the person or entity identified as such in the Agreement and is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular in number. The Owner shall designate in writing a representative who shall have express authority to bind the Owner with respect to all matters requiring the Owner’s approval or authorization.

information shall include a correct statement of the record legal title to the property on which the Project is located, usually referred to as the site, and the Owner’s interest therein.
​
§ 2.2 Evidence of the Owner’s Financial Arrangements
§ 2.2.1 Prior to commencement of the Work and upon written request by the Contractor, the Owner shall furnish to the Contractor reasonable evidence that the Owner has made financial arrangements to fulfill the Owner’s obligations under the Contract. The Contractor shall have no obligation to commence the Work until the Owner provides such evidence. If commencement of the Work is delayed under this Section 2.2.1, the Contract Time shall be extended appropriately.
​
§ 2.2.2 Following commencement of the Work and upon written request by the Contractor, the Owner shall furnish to the Contractor reasonable evidence that the Owner has made financial arrangements to fulfill the Owner’s obligations under the Contract when the Contractor is reasonably warranted in making such requests, including if (1) the Owner fails to make payments to the Contractor as the Contract Documents require; (2) the Contractor identifies in writing a reasonable concern regarding the Owner’s ability to make payment when due; or (3) a change in the Work materially changes the Contract Sum. If the Owner fails to provide such evidence, as required, within fourteen days of the Contractor’s request, the Contractor may immediately stop the Work and, in that event, shall notify the Owner that the Work has stopped. However, if the request is made because a change in the Work materially changes the Contract Sum under (3) above, the Contractor may immediately stop only that portion of the Work affected by the change until reasonable evidence is provided. If the Work is stopped under this Section 2.2.2, the Contract Time shall be extended appropriately and the Contract Sum shall be increased by the amount of the Contractor’s reasonable costs of shutdown, delay and start-up, plus interest as provided in the Contract Documents.
​
§ 2.2.3 After the Owner furnishes evidence of financial arrangements under this Section 2.2, the Owner shall not materially vary such financial arrangements without prior notice to the Contractor.
​
§ 2.2.4 Where the Owner has designated information furnished under this Section 2.2 as “confidential,” the Contractor shall keep the information confidential and shall not disclose it to any other person. However, the Contractor may disclose “confidential” information, after seven (7) days’ notice to the Owner, where disclosure is required by law, including a subpoena or other form of compulsory legal process issued by a court or governmental entity, or by court or arbitrator(s) order. The Contractor may also disclose “confidential” information to its employees, consultants, sureties, Subcontractors and their employees, Sub-subcontractors, and others who need to know the content of such information solely and exclusively for the Project and who agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information.
​
§ 2.3 Information and Services Required of the Owner
§ 2.3.1 Except for permits and fees that are the responsibility of the Contractor under the Contract Documents, including those required under Section 3.7.1, the Owner shall secure and pay for necessary approvals, easements, assessments and charges required for construction, use or occupancy of permanent structures or for permanent changes in existing facilities.
​
§ 2.3.2 The Owner shall retain an architect lawfully licensed to practice architecture, or an entity lawfully practicing architecture, in the jurisdiction where the Project is located. That person or entity is identified as the Architect in the Agreement and is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular in number.
​
§ 2.3.3 If the employment of the Architect terminates, the Owner shall employ a successor to whom the Contractor has no reasonable objection and whose status under the Contract Documents shall be that of the Architect.
​
§ 2.3.4 The Owner shall furnish surveys describing physical characteristics, legal limitations and utility locations for the site of the Project, and a legal description of the site. The Contractor shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy of information furnished by the Owner and shall exercise proper precautions relating to the safe performance of the Work. Contractor shall notify Owner if it is aware that information is in error or not consistent with the Contract Documents.
​
§ 2.3.5 The Owner shall furnish information or services required of the Owner by the Contract Documents with reasonable promptness. The Owner shall also furnish any other information or services under the Owner’s control

§ 2.4 Owner’s Right to Stop the Work
If the Contractor fails to correct Work that is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents as required by Section 12.2 or repeatedly fails to carry out Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Owner may issue a written order to the Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however, the right of the Owner to stop the Work shall not give rise to a duty on the part of the Owner to exercise this right for the benefit of the Contractor or any other person or entity, except to the extent required by Section 6.1.3.

​
§ 8.3 Delays and Extensions of Time
§ 8.3.1 If the Contractor is delayed at any time in the commencement or progress of the Work by unforeseeable event not within the reasonable control of the Contractor or anyone for whom the Contractor is responsible, and not concurrent with any delay for which the Contractor or anyone for whom the Contractor is responsible, the Contractor may request an extension of the Contract Time and increase in the Guarantee Maximum Price. For purposes of this Section 8.3, the extent to which the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic may delay or impact the progress of the Work is unforeseeable and not within the reasonable control of the Contractor or anyone for whom the Contractor is responsible, provided that the Contractor and those for whom the Contractor is responsible engage in reasonable pandemic response site safety measures as set forth in Section 10.1 The Contractor’s request shall include a written narrative and schedule analysis demonstrating that the critical path of the schedule has been impacted by the event, the extent of the impact, the lack of concurrency with any Contractor delay, and the Contractor’s  planned performance in light of the event and impact.  The Contract Time shall be extended only for the number of calendar days that the critical path has been extended due to the impact of the event after using available schedule float.  The Owner and Contractor shall thereafter execute a Change Order adjusting the Contract Time and revising the schedule as appropriate in accordance with Section  3.10.3.
​
§ 8.3.2 Claims relating to time shall be made in accordance with applicable provisions of Article 15 and this Section 8.3.

§ 8.3.3 To the extent that Contractor reasonably incurs an increase in the cost of performing the Work (including, without limitation, extended or additional general conditions costs) as a result of delays to the performance of the Work caused by an event described in Section 8.3.1 (each hereinafter an “Excusable Delay”), Contractor may seek an adjustment to the Guaranteed Maximum Price provided that: (i) the costs cannot be reasonably mitigated by Contractor; (ii) the adjustment is limited to the impacts of the Excusable Delay(s) (exclusive of any concurrent delays on the part of Contractor); and (iii) the cost adjustment shall only apply to the extent that the combined impact of all Excusable Delays exceeds twenty (20) days in total.  With respect to any claim by the Contractor for an adjustment to the Guaranteed Maximum Price arising from any alleged Excusable Delay, all any related impact, cumulative impact, acceleration, disruption, loss of productivity or other related claims shall be presented and resolved in a single Change Order relating to such event, and the Contractor may not separately resolve the claimed “direct costs” without also resolving and compromising the  claimed “indirect costs”, whether known or unknown at the time of resolution of the Change Order.

§ 9.3.1.2 Applications for Payment shall not include requests for payment for portions of the Work for which the Contractor does not intend to pay a Subcontractor or supplier, unless such Work has been performed by Contractor or others whom the Contractor intends to pay.
​
§ 9.3.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, payments shall be made on account of materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent incorporation in the Work. If approved in advance by the Owner, payment may similarly be made for materials and equipment suitably stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing. Payment for materials and equipment stored on or off the site shall be conditioned upon compliance by the Contractor with procedures satisfactory to the Owner to establish the Owner’s title to such materials and equipment or otherwise protect the Owner’s interest, and shall include the costs of applicable insurance, storage, and transportation to the site, for such materials and equipment stored off the site.
​
§ 9.3.3 The Contractor warrants that title to all Work covered by an Application for Payment will pass to the Owner no later than the time of payment. The Contractor further warrants that upon submittal of an Application for Payment all Work for which Certificates for Payment have been previously issued and payments received from the Owner shall, to the best of the Contractor’s knowledge, information, and belief, be free and clear of liens, claims, security interests, or encumbrances, in favor of the Contractor, Subcontractors, suppliers, or other persons or entities that provided labor, materials, and equipment relating to the Work.
​
§ 9.4 Certificates for Payment
§ 9.4.1 The Owner or Architect will, within fourteen days after receipt of the Contractor’s Application for Payment, either (1) issue a Certificate for Payment in the full amount of the Application for Payment, with a copy to the Contractor; or (2) issue a Certificate for Payment for such amount as the Owner or Architect determines is properly due, and notify the Contractor in a writing that describes in detail the Owner’s or Architect’s reasons for withholding certification in part as provided in Section 9.5.1; or (3) withhold certification of the entire Application for Payment, and notify the Contractor in a writing that describes in detail the Owner’s or Architect’s reason for withholding certification in whole as provided in Section 9.5.1. For purposes of Arizona Prompt Pay Act compliance, any Owner/Architect certification made within fourteen days shall be deemed to have occurred on the fourteenth day after receipt of the Contractor’s Application for Payment.
​
§ 9.4.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment by the Architect will constitute a representation by the Architect to the Owner, based on the Architect’s evaluation of the Work and the data in the Application for Payment, that, to the best of the Architect’s knowledge, information, and belief, the Work has progressed to the point indicated, the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents, and that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified. The foregoing representations are subject to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, to results of subsequent tests and inspections, to correction of minor deviations from the Contract Documents prior to completion, and to specific qualifications expressed by the Architect. However, the issuance of a Certificate for Payment by the Architect or Owner will not be a representation that the Architect or Owner has (1) made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work; (2) reviewed construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures; (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors and suppliers and other data requested by the Owner to substantiate the Contractor’s right to payment; or (4) made examination to ascertain how or for what purpose the Contractor has used money previously paid on account of the Contract Sum.
​
§ 9.5 Decisions to Withhold Certification
§ 9.5.1 The Owner or Architect may withhold a Certificate for Payment in whole or in part, to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the Owner, if in the Owner’s or Architect’s opinion the representations required by Section 9.4.2 cannot be made. If the Owner or Architect is unable to certify payment in the amount of the Application, the Owner or Architect will notify the Contractor as provided in Section 9.4.1. If the Contractor and Owner cannot agree on a revised amount, the Owner or Architect will promptly issue a Certificate for Payment for

The Owner or Architect may also withhold a Certificate for Payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence, may nullify the whole or a part of a Certificate for Payment previously issued, to such extent as may be necessary in the Owner’s or Architect’s opinion to protect the Owner from loss for which the Contractor is responsible, including loss resulting from acts and omissions described in Section 3.3.2, because of
		.1
	defective Work not remedied;

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

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

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

​
§ 9.5.2 When either party disputes the Architect’s decision regarding a Certificate for Payment under Section 9.5.1, in whole or in part, that party may submit a Claim in accordance with Article 15.
​
§ 9.5.3 When the reasons for withholding certification are removed, certification will be made for amounts previously withheld.
​
§ 9.5.4 If the Architect withholds certification for payment under Section 9.5.1.3, the Owner may, at its sole option, issue joint checks to the Contractor and to any Subcontractor or supplier to whom the Contractor failed to make payment for Work properly performed or material or equipment suitably delivered.

​

​
§ 9.6.3 The Architect will, on request, furnish to a Subcontractor, if practicable, information regarding percentages of completion or amounts applied for by the Contractor and action taken thereon by the Architect and Owner on account of portions of the Work done by such Subcontractor.
​
§ 9.6.4 The Owner has the right to request written evidence from the Contractor that the Contractor has properly paid Subcontractors and suppliers amounts paid by the Owner to the Contractor for subcontracted Work. If the Contractor fails to furnish such evidence within seven days, the Owner shall have the right to contact Subcontractors and suppliers to ascertain whether they have been properly paid. Neither the Owner nor Architect shall have an obligation to pay, or to see to the payment of money to, a Subcontractor or supplier, except as may otherwise be required by law.
​
§ 9.6.5 The Contractor’s payments to suppliers shall be treated in a manner similar to that provided in Sections 9.6.2, 9.6.3 and 9.6.4.
​

§ 9.6.7 Unless the Contractor provides the Owner with a payment bond in the full penal sum of the Contract Sum, payments received by the Contractor for Work properly performed by Subcontractors or provided by suppliers shall be held by the Contractor for those Subcontractors or suppliers who performed Work or furnished materials, or both, under contract with the Contractor for which payment was made by the Owner. Nothing contained herein shall require money to be placed in a separate account and not commingled with money of the Contractor, create any fiduciary liability or tort liability on the part of the Contractor for breach of trust, or entitle any person or entity to an award of punitive damages against the Contractor for breach of the requirements of this provision.
​
§ 9.6.8 Provided the Owner has fulfilled its payment obligations under the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall, upon written notice from the Owner of receipt of a lien claim against the Project property, and within ten (10) days of such notice, cause the lien to be removed from attachment to the property by means of payment or lien release bond or other available means.
​
§ 9.7 Failure of Payment
If the Architect does not issue a Certificate for Payment, through no fault of the Contractor, within seven days after receipt of the Contractor’s Application for Payment, or if the Owner does not pay the Contractor within seven days after the date established in the Contract Documents, the amount certified by the Architect or awarded by binding dispute resolution, then the Contractor may, upon seven additional days’ notice to the Owner and Architect, stop the Work until payment of the amount owing has been received. The Contract Time shall be extended appropriately and the Contract Sum shall be increased by the amount of the Contractor’s reasonable costs of shutdown, delay and start-up, plus interest as provided for in the Contract Documents.
​
§ 9.8 Substantial Completion
§ 9.8.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or designated portion thereof is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so that the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work for its intended use.
​
§ 9.8.2 When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete, the Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Architect and Owner a comprehensive list of items to be completed or corrected prior to final payment. Failure to include an item on such list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
​
§ 9.8.3 Upon receipt of the Contractor’s list, the Architect or Owner will make an inspection to determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the Architect’s or Owner’s inspection discloses any item, whether or not included on the Contractor’s list, which is not sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so that the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work or designated portion thereof for its intended use, the Contractor shall, before issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion, complete or correct such item upon notification by the Architect or Owner. In such case, the Contractor shall then submit a request for another inspection by the Architect or Owner to determine Substantial Completion.
​
§ 9.8.4 When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Architect or Owner will prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion that shall establish the date of Substantial Completion; establish responsibilities of the Owner and Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance; and fix the time within which the Contractor shall finish all items on the list accompanying the Certificate. Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence on the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial Completion.
​
§ 9.8.5 The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be submitted to the Owner and Contractor for their written acceptance of responsibilities assigned to them in the Certificate. Upon such acceptance, and consent of surety if any, the Owner shall make payment of retainage applying to the Work or designated portion thereof. Such payment shall be adjusted for Work that is incomplete or not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
​
§ 9.9 Partial Occupancy or Use
§ 9.9.1 The Owner may occupy or use any completed or partially completed portion of the Work at any stage when such portion is designated by separate agreement with the Contractor, provided such occupancy or use is consented to by the insurer and authorized by public authorities having jurisdiction over the Project. Such partial occupancy or

use may commence whether or not the portion is substantially complete, provided the Owner and Contractor have accepted in writing the responsibilities assigned to each of them for payments, retainage, if any, security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and have agreed in writing concerning the period for correction of the Work and commencement of warranties required by the Contract Documents. When the Contractor considers a portion substantially complete, the Contractor shall prepare and submit a list to the Architect or Owner as provided under Section 9.8.2. Consent of the Contractor to partial occupancy or use shall not be unreasonably withheld. The stage of the progress of the Work shall be determined by written agreement between the Owner and Contractor or, if no agreement is reached, by reasonable decision of the Architect.
​
§ 9.9.2 Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner, Contractor, and Architect shall jointly inspect the area to be occupied or portion of the Work to be used in order to determine and record the condition of the Work.
​
§ 9.9.3 Unless otherwise agreed upon, partial occupancy or use of a portion or portions of the Work shall not constitute acceptance of Work not complying with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
​
§ 9.10 Final Completion and Final Payment
§ 9.10.1 Upon receipt of the Contractor’s notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance and upon receipt of a final Application for Payment, the Architect will promptly make such inspection. When the Architect finds the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and the Contract fully performed, the Owner or Architect will promptly issue a final Certificate for Payment.
​
§ 9.10.2 Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage shall become due until the Contractor submits to the Owner and Architect (1) an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which the Owner or the Owner’s property might be responsible or encumbered (less amounts withheld by Owner) have been paid or otherwise satisfied, (2) a certificate evidencing that insurance required by the Contract Documents to remain in force after final payment is currently in effect, (3) a written statement that the Contractor knows of no reason that the insurance will not be renewable to cover the period required by the Contract Documents, (4) consent of surety, if any, to final payment, (5) documentation of any special warranties, such as manufacturers’ warranties or specific Subcontractor warranties, and (6) if required by the Owner, other data establishing payment or satisfaction of obligations, such as receipts and releases and waivers of liens, claims, security interests, or encumbrances arising out of the Contract, to the extent and in such form as may be designated by the Owner. If a Subcontractor refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by the Owner, the Contractor may furnish a bond satisfactory to the Owner to indemnify the Owner against such lien, claim, security interest, or encumbrance.
​
§ 9.10.3 If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, final completion thereof is materially delayed through no fault of the Contractor or by issuance of Change Orders affecting final completion, and the Architect so confirms, the Owner shall, upon application by the Contractor and certification by the Architect, and without terminating the Contract, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed, corrected, and accepted. If the remaining balance for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than retainage stipulated in the Contract Documents, and if bonds have been furnished, the written consent of the surety to payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by the Contractor to the Architect prior to certification of such payment. Such payment shall be made under terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of Claims.
​
§ 9.10.4 The making of final payment shall constitute a waiver of Claims by the Owner except those arising from
		.1
	liens, Claims, security interests, or encumbrances arising out of the Contract and unsettled;

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

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

		.4
	audits performed by the Owner, if permitted by the Contract Documents, after final payment.

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

If the Owner fails to purchase and maintain the required property insurance, with all of the coverages and in the amounts described in the Agreement or elsewhere in the Contract Documents, the Owner shall inform the Contractor in writing prior to commencement of the Work. Upon receipt of notice from the Owner, the Contractor may delay commencement of the Work and may obtain insurance that will protect the interests of the Contractor, Subcontractors, and Sub-Subcontractors in the Work. When the failure to provide coverage has been cured or resolved, the Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be equitably adjusted. In the event the Owner fails to procure coverage, the Owner waives all rights against the Contractor, Subcontractors, and Sub-subcontractors to the extent the loss to the Owner would have been covered by the insurance to have been procured by the Owner. The cost of the insurance shall be charged to the Owner by a Change Order. If the Owner does not provide written notice, and the Contractor is damaged by the failure or neglect of the Owner to purchase or maintain the required insurance, the Owner shall reimburse the Contractor for all reasonable costs and damages attributable thereto.

§ 11.3 Waivers of Subrogation
§ 11.3.1 The Owner and Contractor waive all rights against (1) each other and any of their subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, agents, and employees, each of the other; (2) the Architect and Architect’s consultants; and (3) Separate Contractors, if any, and any of their subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, agents, and employees, for damages caused by fire, or other causes of loss, to the extent those losses are covered by property insurance required by the Agreement or other property insurance applicable to the Project, except such rights as they have to proceeds of such insurance. The Owner or Contractor, as appropriate, shall require similar written waivers in favor of the individuals and entities identified above from the Architect, Architect’s consultants, Separate Contractors, subcontractors, and sub-subcontractors. The policies of insurance purchased and maintained by each person or entity agreeing to waive claims pursuant to this section 11.3.1 shall not prohibit this waiver of subrogation. This waiver of subrogation shall be effective as to a person or entity (1) even though that person or entity would otherwise have a duty of indemnification, contractual or otherwise, (2) even though that person or entity did not pay the insurance premium directly or indirectly, or (3) whether or not the person or entity had an insurable interest in the damaged property.
​
§ 11.3.2 If during the Project construction period the Owner insures properties, real or personal or both, at or adjacent to the site by property insurance under policies separate from those insuring the Project, or if after final payment property insurance is to be provided on the completed Project through a policy or policies other than those insuring the Project during the construction period, to the extent permissible by such policies, the Owner waives all rights in

​
§ 11.4 Loss of Use, Business Interruption, and Delay in Completion Insurance
The Owner, at the Owner’s option, may purchase and maintain insurance that will protect the Owner against loss of use of the Owner’s property, or the inability to conduct normal operations, due to fire or other causes of loss. The Owner waives all rights of action against the Contractor and Architect for loss of use of the Owner’s property, due to fire or other hazards however caused. If the Contractor requests in writing that insurance for risks other than those described herein or special causes of loss be included in the property insurance policy, the Owner shall, if possible, include such insurance.  Additional cost associated for such insurance shall be equitably charged and prorated to the party or parties benefiting from such insurance.
​
§11.5 Adjustment and Settlement of Insured Loss
§ 11.5.1 A loss insured under the property insurance required by the Agreement shall be adjusted by the Owner as fiduciary and made payable to the Owner as fiduciary for the insureds, as their interests may appear, subject to requirements of any applicable mortgagee clause and of Section 11.5.2. The Owner shall pay the Architect and Contractor their just shares of insurance proceeds received by the Owner, and by appropriate agreements the Architect and Contractor shall make payments to their consultants and Subcontractors in similar manner.
​
§ 11.5.2 Prior to settlement of an insured loss, the Owner shall notify the Contractor of the terms of the proposed settlement as well as the proposed allocation of the insurance proceeds. The Contractor shall have 14 days from receipt of notice to object to the proposed settlement or allocation of the proceeds. If the Contractor does not object, the Owner shall settle the loss and the Contractor shall be bound by the settlement and allocation. Upon receipt, the Owner shall deposit the insurance proceeds in a separate account and make the appropriate distributions. Thereafter, if no other agreement is made or the Owner does not terminate the Contract for convenience, the Owner and Contractor shall execute a Change Order for reconstruction of the damaged or destroyed Work in the amount allocated for that purpose. If the Contractor timely objects to either the terms of the proposed settlement or the allocation of the proceeds, the Owner may proceed to settle the insured loss, and any dispute between the Owner and Contractor arising out of the settlement or allocation of the proceeds shall be resolved pursuant to Article 15. Pending resolution of any dispute, the Owner may issue a Construction Change Directive for the reconstruction of the damaged or destroyed Work.
​
§ 11.5.3 The Owner, as fiduciary, shall have power to adjust and settle a loss with insurers unless one of the parties in interest shall object in writing within five days after written notification to the parties in interest of the proposed adjustment or settlement; if such objection is made, the dispute shall be resolved in the manner selected by the Owner and Contractor as the method of binding dispute resolution in the Agreement.  If the Owner and Contractor have selected arbitration as the method of binding dispute resolution, the Owner as fiduciary shall make settlement with insurers or, in the case of a dispute over distribution of insurance proceeds, in accordance with the directions of the arbitrators.
​
§ 11.5.4 Before an exposure to loss may occur, the Owner shall file with the Contractor a copy of each policy that includes insurance coverages required by this Article 11.  The Contractor has no obligation to inspect or review each policy provided to the Contractor from the Owner for conformance with the requirements of this Article.  Each policy shall contain all generally applicable conditions, definitions, exclusions and endorsements related to this Project.  Each policy shall contain a provision that the policy will not be canceled or allowed to expire, and that its limits will not be reduced, until at least 30 days after Owner provides written notice to the Contractor.  The failure of the Owner to file with the Contractor a copy of each policy that includes insurance coverage required by this Article does not relieve the Owner from the responsibilities or obligations of such policy(s).

​
§ 12.2 Correction of Work
§ 12.2.1 Before Substantial Completion
The Contractor shall promptly correct Work rejected by the Architect or failing to conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents, discovered before Substantial Completion and whether or not fabricated, installed or completed. Costs of correcting such rejected Work, including additional testing and inspections made necessary thereby, shall be at the Contractor’s expense.
​
§ 12.2.2 After Substantial Completion
§ 12.2.2.1 In addition to the Contractor’s obligations under Section 3.5, if, within one year after the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof or after the date for commencement of warranties established under Section 9.9.1, or by terms of any applicable special warranty required by the Contract Documents, any of the Work is found to be not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall correct it promptly after receipt of notice from the Owner to do so, unless the Owner has previously given the Contractor a written acceptance of such condition. The Owner shall give such notice promptly after discovery of the condition. During the one-year period for correction of Work, if the Owner fails to notify the Contractor and give the Contractor an opportunity to make the correction, the Owner waives the rights to require correction by the Contractor and to make a claim for breach of warranty. of this 12.2.2 warranty. If the Contractor fails to correct nonconforming Work within a reasonable time during that period after receipt of notice from the Owner or Architect, the Owner may correct it in accordance with Section 2.5.

​
§ 12.2.2.3 The one-year period for correction of Work shall not be extended by corrective Work performed by the Contractor pursuant to this Section 12.2.

​
§ 12.2.5 Nothing contained in this Section 12.2 shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to other obligations the Contractor has under the Contract Documents. Establishment of the one-year period for correction of Work as described in Section 12.2.2 relates only to the specific obligation of the Contractor to correct the Work, and has no relationship to the time within which the obligation to comply with the Contract Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced to establish the Contractor’s liability with respect to the Contractor’s obligations other than specifically to correct the Work.
​
§ 12.3 Acceptance of Nonconforming Work
If the Owner prefers to accept Work that is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Owner may do so instead of requiring its removal and correction, in which case the Contract Sum will be reduced by Change Order as appropriate and equitable. Such adjustment shall be effected whether or not final payment has been made.

writing, delivered to the other party to the Contract, and filed with the person or entity administering the mediation. The request may be made concurrently with the filing of binding dispute resolution proceedings but, in such event, mediation shall proceed in advance of binding dispute resolution proceedings, which shall be stayed pending mediation for a period of 60 days from the date of filing, unless stayed for a longer period by agreement of the parties or court order. If an arbitration is stayed pursuant to this Section 15.3.2, the parties may nonetheless proceed to the selection of the arbitrator(s) and agree upon a schedule for later proceedings.
​
§ 15.3.3 The parties shall share the mediator’s fee and any filing fees equally. The mediation shall be held in the place where the Project is located, unless another location is mutually agreed upon. Agreements reached in mediation shall be enforceable as settlement agreements in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
​
§ 15.4 Arbitration
§ 15.4.1 If the parties have selected arbitration as the method for binding dispute resolution in the Agreement, any Claim subject to, but not resolved by, mediation shall be subject to arbitration which, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Construction Industry Arbitration Rules in effect on the date of the Agreement. The Arbitration shall be conducted in the place where the Project is located, unless another location is mutually agreed upon. A demand for arbitration shall be made in writing, delivered to the other party to the Contract, and filed with the person or entity administering the arbitration. The party filing a notice of demand for arbitration must assert in the demand all Claims then known to that party on which arbitration is permitted to be demanded.
​
§ 15.4.1.1 A demand for arbitration shall be made no earlier than concurrently with the filing of a request for mediation, but in no event shall it be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the Claim would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. For statute of limitations purposes, receipt of a written demand for arbitration by the person or entity administering the arbitration shall constitute the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the Claim.
​
§ 15.4.2 The award rendered by the arbitrator or arbitrators shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
​
§ 15.4.3 The foregoing agreement to arbitrate and other agreements to arbitrate with an additional person or entity duly consented to by parties to the Agreement, shall be specifically enforceable under applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
​
§ 15.4.4 Consolidation or Joinder
§ 15.4.4.1 Subject to the rules of the American Arbitration Association or other applicable arbitration rules, either party may consolidate an arbitration conducted under this Agreement with any other arbitration to which it is a party provided that (1) the arbitration agreement governing the other arbitration permits consolidation, (2) the arbitrations to be consolidated substantially involve common questions of law or fact, and (3) the arbitrations employ materially similar procedural rules and methods for selecting arbitrator(s).
​
§ 15.4.4.2 Subject to the rules of the American Arbitration Association or other applicable arbitration rules, either party may include by joinder persons or entities substantially involved in a common question of law or fact whose presence is required if complete relief is to be accorded in arbitration, provided that the party sought to be joined consents in writing to such joinder. Consent to arbitration involving an additional person or entity shall not constitute consent to arbitration of any claim, dispute or other matter in question not described in the written consent.
​
§ 15.4.4.3 The Owner and Contractor grant to any person or entity made a party to an arbitration conducted under this Section 15.4, whether by joinder or consolidation, the same rights of joinder and consolidation as those of the Owner and Contractor under this Agreement.
​
§ 15.5 ATTORNEY’S FEES TO PREVAILING PARTY
If either party becomes involved in litigation or arbitration arising out of this Agreement or the performance thereof, the court or arbitration panel in such litigation or arbitration or in a separate suit shall award reasonable attorney’s fees to the prevailing party.

SERVICES AGREEMENT

 

This Services
Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of February 21, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), by and between
True North Advisory LLC (“True North”), a Virginia limited liability company, and American Virtual
Cloud Technologies, Inc. (“AVCT” or “Client”), a Delaware corporation. The parties, for good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, agree as follows.

 

		1.	Services

 

a.Services.True
North will provide to Client the services identified in Exhibit A (the “Scope of Services”) attached hereto (the
“Services”).

 

b. Project
Change. If the parties wish to modify, expand or change the scope of the Services under the Scope of Services (“Change”),
either party may request such a Change by submitting to the other party a proposed change order (“Change Request”) detailing
the Change and any other relevant information. No Change is authorized until the Change Request is signed by both True North and Client.
The terms of the signed Change Request control over any inconsistent provisions in the Scope of Services or this Agreement.

 

c.Key
Contact.Each party will each designate a specific person as such party’s primary contact person responsible for
facilitating communication between the parties and for coordinating performance of the Services (“Key Contact”). Either
party may change its Key Contact by written notice to the other party.

 

		2.	Pricing and Payment Terms; Expenses; Taxes.

 

a. Pricing;
Payment Terms. All fees payable to True North under this Agreement shall be as set forth on each Scope of Services, and shall be invoiced
to Client in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3. Unless otherwise specified in a Scope of Services,
Services shall be invoiced and paid monthly in advance. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, all amounts payable under this Agreement
shall be payable in U.S. Dollars.

 

b. Expenses.
If Client requests that True North personnel travel or incur other agreed expenses as part of the Services, Client shall reimburse True
North for True North’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred during such travel, provided, however, that total expenses in
excess of $500 anticipated to be incurred in such travel must be approved by Client in writing prior to being incurred.

c. Taxes.
Each party will be responsible for identifying and paying all taxes and other governmental fees and charges (and any penalties,
interest, and other additions thereto) that are imposed on that party with respect to the transactions and payments under this
Agreement. All fees payable by Client are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties, including, without limitation, VAT, excise
taxes, sales and transaction taxes, and gross receipts taxes (“Indirect Taxes”). Client will provide such information to
True North as reasonably required to determine whether True North is obligated to collect Indirect Taxes from Client. True North
shall not collect, and Client shall not pay, any such Indirect Tax or duty for which Client furnishes True North a properly
completed exemption certificate or a direct payment permit certificate or for which Client may claim an available exemption from
Indirect Tax. All payments made by Client to True North under this Agreement will be made free and clear of any withholding or
deduction for taxes. If any such taxes are required to be withheld on any payment, Client will pay such additional amounts as are
necessary so that the net amount received by True North is equal to the amount then due and payable under this Agreement. True North
will provide Client with such tax forms as are reasonably requested in order to reduce or eliminate the amount of any withholding or
deduction for taxes in respect of payments made under this Agreement.

 

		3.	Term and Termination.

 

a. Term of Agreement
and Renewal. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect from the Effective Date until the date of Service expiration stated
in Exhibit A, unless earlier terminated as provided in Section 3(b); provided, however, if the parties agree to extend the services past
such stated date of expiration this Agreement shall continue on a month-to-month basis thereafter terminable by either party pursuant
to Section 3(b)(i).

 

b. Termination.

 

i. Either
party may terminate this Agreement or the Scope of Services at any time for its convenience upon thirty (30) days of written notice to
the other party. Upon such termination, True North shall promptly invoice, and Client shall promptly pay True North for all Services rendered
to the effective date of the termination under this Agreement.

 

ii. Either
party may terminate this Agreement at any time if (A) the other party materially breaches any of its obligations under this Agreement,
the Scope of Services or Change Order and such breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days of written notice specifying the nature
of the breach; or (B) if the other party becomes or is likely to become insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors;
or (C) if the other party ceases or threatens to cease to carry on its business, liquidates or dissolves its business or disposes of a
substantial portion of its assets; or (D) if a petition in bankruptcy is filed by or against the other party, or if a receiver or similar
officer is appointed to take charge of all or part of the other party’s property, or if the other party is adjudicated a bankrupt.

in an orderly manner in accordance with Client’s reasonable instructions.

 

ii. Unless
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, upon the termination of this Agreement, True North shall return to Client all materials
and items furnished to True North by Client under this Agreement and, provided that Client has paid all undisputed amounts due and owing
to True North, all Deliverables in progress at the time of termination.

 

iii.
Sections 2, 3(c), 4, 5(b), 6, 7 and 8, and any other provisions that by their nature reasonably should be deemed to survive, shall
survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason. Any obligation in a Scope of Services to make a payment upon the
occurrence of an event (e.g., a financing or corporate transaction) shall survive for a period of one year from the effective date
of termination.

 

		4.	Ownership of Intellectual Property.

 

a.Client
Ownership; Deliverables.Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, but in any case, subject to Sections 4(b)

and written material (collectively, the “Deliverables”), shall be considered works made for hire under the United States
copyright laws and shall be the exclusive property of Client. In the event any such Deliverables do not fall within the specifically
enumerated works that constitute works made for hire under the United States copyright laws, subject to the reservations in Sections
4(b) and 4(c) below, True North expressly and irrevocably assigns all right, title and interest worldwide in and to such
Deliverables to Client, including, without limitation, all copyrights, patent rights, trade secrets, trademarks, moral rights and
all other applicable proprietary and intellectual property rights. To the extent True North has any rights to the Deliverables that
cannot be or are not assigned to Client, True North unconditionally and irrevocably: (i) waives the enforcement of such rights; and
(ii) grants to Client during the term of such rights, an exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to
reproduce, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform and publicly display such Works, by all means now known or later
developed, with the right to sublicense such rights.

 

b. True
North’s Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding anything in Section 4(a) to the contrary, True North will retain exclusive ownership
of and all intellectual property rights in all (a) its know-how, concepts, techniques, methodologies, ideas, templates, and tools that
existed prior to the performance of Services under the Scope of Services, and all updates, modifications, improvements, enhancements and
derivative works of the same created or developed during the course of performance of Services that do not contain Client’s business
or Confidential Information and (b) all ideas, concepts, techniques and know-how discovered, created or developed by True North during
the performance of Services that are of general application and that are not based on or derived from Client’s Confidential Information
(collectively, “True North’s IP”). As between True North and Client, True North’s IP shall be deemed True North’s
Confidential Information for purposes of Section 7. To the extent the Deliverables incorporate True North’s IP, True North gives
Client an irrevocable (as long as Client does not violate the license rights granted hereunder), non-exclusive, non-transferable (except
to Client’s Affiliates and permitted assigns), perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide right to use such True North’s IP for Client’s
internal business purposes. True North also grants Client the right to permit a third party to use the applicable True North’s IP
solely in connection with providing services to Client related to Client’s use of the Deliverables.

		6.	Indemnification and Limitation of Liability.

 

a. True
North Indemnity Obligation. True North agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Client, and its officers, directors,
employees, agents, representatives, and affiliates (each a “Client Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all
losses, costs, expenses, claims, or damages arising out of any claim, suit, action, or judgment brought against such Client
Indemnified Party by a third party as a result of any alleged infringement or misappropriation of any validly existing intellectual
property right by the Services or any Deliverable, except to the extent caused by Client’s negligent acts or omissions. The
foregoing obligation does not apply with respect to the Services, Deliverables, or portions or components thereof (w) used other
than in accordance with this Agreement, (x) not supplied by True North, or (y) combined with other products, processes or materials
where the alleged infringement would not have occurred without such combination. If any Services or Deliverables, in whole or in
part, constitute or may constitute infringement or misappropriation of any third party’s rights, and/or if Client’s use
thereof is or may be enjoined, True North, in addition to its indemnification obligations hereunder, shall promptly either: (i)
secure for Client rights to continue using such infringing Services or Deliverables; or (ii) re-perform or replace such Services or
Deliverables with comparable non-infringing Services or Deliverables; or (iii) modify the Services or Deliverables so that they
become non-infringing. In the event True North is unable to procure one of the aforementioned remedies, True North shall , in
addition to its indemnification obligations hereunder, promptly refund to Client all amounts paid to Supplier under this Agreement
for the prior twelve (12) months in respect of the infringing Services and/or Deliverables. This section states True North’s
entire liability and Client’s exclusive remedy for infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property of a third
party.

 

b. Client
Indemnity Obligation. Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless True North and its affiliates, and their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, and representatives (each an “True North Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses,
costs, expenses, claims, or damages arising out of any claim, suit, action, or judgment brought against such True North Indemnified Party
by a third party as a result of Client’s use of the Services or Deliverables other than in accordance with this Agreement.

 

c.LIMITATION
OF LIABILITY.EXCEPT FOR THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 6(A) AND 6(B) OR A BREACH OF A PARTY’S CONFIDENTIALITY
OBLIGATIONS OR A PAYMENT OBLIGATION HEREUNDER, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ANY EXPECTATION OF PROFIT, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR USE OF

		7.	Confidential Information.

 

a. Confidentiality
Obligations. Both parties acknowledge that either party may receive (the “Receiving Party”) Confidential Information from
the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) during the Term of this Agreement, and all Confidential Information is deemed to
have been received in confidence. Receiving Party may use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only to perform its obligations
or exercise its rights under this Agreement, and may disclose Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only to Receiving Party’s
employees, agents or contractors that need to know the information pursuant to this Agreement and who are required (by written agreement,
written and enforceable internal policy, or legally enforceable code of professional responsibility) to maintain the confidentiality of
the Confidential Information as required by this Agreement. Receiving Party must protect the Confidential Information at least as well
as it does its own valuable and sensitive information of a similar nature and, in any event, with no less than a reasonable degree of
care. Following termination of this Agreement, and/or if requested by Disclosing Party, Receiving Party must return or destroy all Confidential
Information and upon request, certify in writing as to having returned or destroyed all Confidential Information. The obligation of confidentiality
continues for three (3) years from the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, Receiving Party must keep (i) any personally
identifiable information (“PII”) confidential as required by any applicable law; and (ii) any trade secrets of Disclosing
Party confidential as long as the information remains a trade secret. Either party is free to use for any purpose the residuals resulting
from any engagement under this Agreement if such use does not result in the sharing of the other party’s Confidential Information
in violation of this Section 7. “Residuals” means information retained in the unaided memory of an individual in a manner
that was incidental to work performed hereunder and not intentionally memorized through use of notes or other aids. For clarity, this
residuals provision does not grant any license under the Disclosing Party’s copyrights or patents.

 

b. Definition.
“Confidential Information” includes, without limitation, (i) all information communicated by Disclosing Party that should
reasonably be considered confidential under the circumstances, whether it was or was not identified as confidential at the time of disclosure;
(ii) all information identified as confidential to which Receiving Party has access in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement,
whether before or after Effective Date; (iii) this Agreement, (iv) any trade secret; (v) any existing or contemplated product, service,
design, technology, software, process, technical data, engineering, technique, research, development, invention, methodology and concept
and any related information; (vi) information relating to any business plan, sale or marketing method, marketing, merchandising, pricing,
analysis and report, customer information, personally identifiable information (“PII”), customer or supplier list or requirement,
and (vii) financial and accounting information.

 

c. Exceptions.
The obligations of either Party under this Section 7 do not apply to information that Receiving Party can demonstrate (i) was in its possession
at the time of disclosure without confidentiality restrictions; (ii) at the time of disclosure by Disclosing Party is generally available
to the public or after disclosure becomes generally available to the public through no breach of agreement or other wrongful act by Receiving
Party; provided, however, PII remains subject to confidentiality obligations regardless of its availability to the public or availability
through unauthorized disclosure; (iii) was received from a third party without restriction on disclosure and without breach of agreement
or other wrongful act by Receiving Party; or (iv) is independently developed by Receiving Party without reference to the Confidential
Information of the other party.

d. Disclosure
by Law. In the event Receiving Party is required by law, regulation, stock exchange requirement or legal process to disclose any
of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, Receiving Party must (i) give Disclosing Party, to the extent possible,
reasonable advance notice prior to disclosure so Disclosing Party may contest the disclosure or seek a protective order, and (ii)
reasonably limit the disclosure to the minimum amount that is legally required to be disclosed.

 

e. Remedies.
The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) any breach of this Section 7 may cause immediate and irreparable injury to the non-breaching
party and that monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate the non-breaching party for such breach; and (ii) in the event of such
breach, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to all other remedies available to it at law or equity.
This right to obtain injunctive relief is cumulative non-exclusive with respect to all other remedies available at law or equity.

 

		8.	Miscellaneous.

 

a. Independent
Contractor Relationship. Each party’s relationship with the other is that of an independent contractor, and nothing in this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein is intended to, or should be construed to, create a partnership, agency, joint venture,
or employment relationship. Neither Party will be entitled to any of the benefits which the other may make available to its employees,
including, but not limited to, group health or life insurance, profit sharing, or retirement benefits. Neither Party is authorized to
make any representation, contract, or commitment on behalf of the other. Unless otherwise provided, each Party is solely responsible for,
and will file, on a timely basis, all tax returns, payments and withholdings required to be filed with, or made to, any federal, state
or local tax authority with respect to such Party’s performance of services and receipt of fees under this Agreement. True North
shall retain the right to perform work for others during the term of this Agreement, whether of a same or a different kind as that contemplated
by Services to be performed under this Agreement.

 

b. Public
Relations. The Parties agree that True North may, during and after the Term of this Agreement, refer to Client in True North’s
marketing, promotional or advertising materials or activities, as being a present or former client of True North (as the case may be).
All such references to Client shall only incorporate Client’s logo in the format as may be specified by Client from time to time,
unless Client has provided its permission in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party may disclose the terms and conditions
of this Agreement or any Scope of Services.

 

c. Force
Majeure. Neither party shall be liable to the other for damages (including liquidated damages) if such party’s performance is
delayed due to natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics, wars or other Acts of God (each a “Force Majeure Event”). In such
event, the affected party shall promptly notify the other of the delay and its likely duration. The parties retain their rights to terminate
the Agreement or Scope of Services pursuant to Section 3(b)(i) if a Force Majeure Event arises. In addition, in the event of a delay in
True North’s performance exceeding forty-five (45) days due to a Force Majeure Event, Client may, at any time thereafter, terminate
the affected Scope of Services.

 

d. Assignment.
Neither party may, without the other party’s prior written approval assign its rights; provided, however, that either party may,
without prior written approval, assign this Agreement to any person or entity which, through merger, reorganization, acquisition or otherwise,
succeeds to all or substantially all of such party’s business. Any attempt to assign in violation of this section is void in each
instance.

j. Dispute
Resolution. In the event of any problem, claim, or dispute arising from this Agreement, the aggrieved party shall promptly notify
the other party of the existence of the problem, claim, or dispute, and such party shall promptly undertake all reasonable efforts to
resolve the matter within thirty (30) calendar days of such notice. If such efforts are not successful, senior executives of each of the
parties shall meet promptly thereafter to resolve the matter amicably, and each party shall exert its reasonable best efforts toward this
solution. If the matter cannot be resolved through this process, then the parties shall submit the matter to binding arbitration, in accordance
with the commercial rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be held in the District
of Columbia, Washington, DC, in the United States of America and shall utilize a single arbitrator selected by the AAA in accordance with
the Rules. Each party shall bear one-half of the costs of the arbitration. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator shall be
final and nonappealable and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

 

k. Entire
Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, including all Exhibits attached hereto and all signed Change Requests (which are hereby incorporated
in this Agreement by reference), constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof,
and supersedes and replaces all prior or contemporaneous understandings, representations, communications and agreements, written or oral,
