COMPLETION:  

Construction by Seller will commence and proceed within ten (10) days after construction permit issuance, but in no event shall Seller be required to commence such construction prior to expiration of Buyer’s cancellation options under Paragraph 5 (if applicable) and Paragraph 12 and receipt of the released Down Payment from the Title Company.  Seller estimates that the Facility will be Substantially Complete (as herein defined) within two hundred fifteen (215) days after the later of the date on which Buyer approves or is deemed to have approved the Final Construction Documents or Seller’s obtaining of necessary permits, plus an amount of time equal to Buyer Delay and force majeure delay (the “Estimated Completion Date”).  “Substantially Completed” (sometimes herein referred to as “Substantial Completion”) means the Facility is constructed in substantial compliance with the Final Construction Documents and all applicable laws and regulations applicable thereto, to a point at which any parts that are incomplete or require corrective work do not materially interfere with the occupancy and use of the Facility for its designed purpose; provided, however, that for purposes of this Contract and the Closing hereunder, the Facility shall be conclusively deemed to be Substantially Completed upon (i) the final inspection and approval by all applicable governmental authorities, or issuance of a permanent or conditional certificate of occupancy by the applicable governmental authority (if one is issued in the jurisdiction), and (ii) issuance of a certificate of substantial completion by Seller’s project architect or engineer.  The occurrence of Substantial Completion will not release Seller from its obligation to complete Punch List Items that are included on the Joint Punch List (as such terms defined in Xxxxxxxxx 0X, xxxxx) or from its obligation under Seller’s Warranty expressly provided for in this Contract, but merely determines the date of Closing.  Seller may, without prior consultation with Buyer, substitute materials, equipment and appliances of equal or better quality, function and (in the case of finishes only) appearance for those specified in the Final Construction Documents provided that if the proposed substitution involves items of a cost exceeding $10,000, then Seller must obtain Buyer’s prior written consent to the substitution, and raise the site elevation with fill materials to create improved drainage as it may see fit.  Seller shall be responsible for obtaining all permits and approvals of governmental authorities required in connection with the construction of the Facility, including, without limitation (unless dependent on installation of personal property items or facilities that are not part of the Facility being constructed by Seller hereunder), any certificate of occupancy required by any governmental authority.  Buyer may make reasonable inspection of the work on the Facility as it progresses, subject to reasonable prior arrangement with Seller and its contractor(s), non-interference with the Seller’s construction by Buyer’s inspecting representative, and Buyer’s compliance with all contractor-established safety rules and regulations for inspection visits.

E.

PUNCH LIST AND COMPLETION OF PUNCH LIST ITEMS:

For purposes of this Contract, “Punch List Items” are all aspects of the Facility that remain to be completed or corrected following Substantial Completion, excluding latent defects as herein defined.  Within five (5) days after Buyer’s receipt from Seller of written notice of Substantial Completion, Buyer shall arrange with Seller for a joint walk-through of the Facility (the “Joint Punch List Walk-through”), at which time they shall create a list that is mutually acceptable to them of all Punch List Items relating to the Facility (the “Joint Punch List”).  Upon receipt of such notice from Seller, Buyer will give Seller at least two (2) business days’ advance written notice of two proposed business days (within such 10-day period) for the Joint Punch List Walk-through, and Seller will notify Buyer within one (1) business day of receipt of such notice of the time on one such day (during normal business hours) that Seller accepts for purposes of conducting the Joint Punch List Walk-through inspection.  If Seller fails to notify Buyer of the time, or fails to provide a representative to accompany Buyer at the designated time for the Joint Punch List Walk-through, then Buyer shall prepare the Joint Punch List on one of the days specified in Buyer’s notice and deliver the Joint Punch List so prepared to Seller within one (1) business day thereafter.  Seller agrees to use reasonable diligence to complete the Punch List Items identified on the Joint Punch List within thirty (30) days of the date of the Joint Punch List Walk-through (or timely receipt of Buyer’s unilaterally prepared Joint Punch List if Seller or its representative failed to accompany Buyer at the designated time - but in that case only to the extent of Punch List Items correctly identified). Any Punch List Items that are not latent defects (as defined below) and that are not identified on such Joint Punch List as a result of the Joint Punch List Walk-through (or on Buyer’s unilaterally prepared Joint Punch List if Seller or its representative failed to accompany Buyer at the designated time) are deemed accepted, approved and waived by Buyer.  Seller’s pending completion of Punch List Items shall not, under any circumstance, delay Closing.  In addition, Punch List Items that are not of a purely cosmetic, readily visible nature from an inspection by a non-expert, including adjustments to mechanical systems and equipment and the like (even if not qualifying as latent defects), but only to the extent the same are not the result of Buyer damage, abuse or misuse, will be promptly corrected or adjusted by Seller upon written notice given by Buyer to Seller identifying such previously omitted Punch List Item with reasonable particularity within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, but will not be the subject of the Completion Escrow.   At Closing, the parties shall agree on the reasonable cost to complete all Joint Punch List items (the “Estimated Completion Cost”) and a portion of the Sales Price equal to 120% of such Estimated Completion Cost (the “Completion Escrow”) shall be escrowed by Seller with the Title Company under the terms of an escrow agreement entered into by Seller, Buyer and the Title Company, the form of which shall be acceptable to the Title Company and reasonably acceptable to Seller and

Buyer (the “Completion Escrow Agreement”).  If the parties cannot agree on the Estimated Completion Cost, then an estimate provided to Seller by a third-party contractor unaffiliated with Seller, other than the contractor hired to construct the Facility, shall be binding on the parties absent subterfuge or collusion that benefits the party providing the estimate.  The terms of the Completion Escrow Agreement shall include that (i) subject to clause (ii), below, Seller is entitled to withdraw funds from the Completion Escrow by delivery of a written certification by Seller’s project architect that the portion of the Joint Punch List work evidenced thereby is completed and requesting disbursement to Seller of the 120% of the Estimated Completion Cost assigned to such completed items in the Completion Escrow Agreement, (ii) unless Buyer makes written objection to such certification within seven (7) business days from the effective date of notice from the Title Company to Buyer that such request for disbursement has been made by Seller and forwarding to Buyer of Seller’s request and architect’s certification, the Title Company shall be fully protected in making and shall make the disbursement requested by Seller without any requirement for active or affirmative consent or approval of Buyer, and (iii) if Seller shall fail to complete all such Joint Punch List items in a reasonable time, not less than sixty (60) days and not more than ninety (90) days (unless Buyer unreasonably interferes therewith) from Closing, such remaining Completion Escrow funds (after disbursement of amounts related to those items that were completed by Seller) held by the Title Company shall be made available to Buyer to defray the costs incurred by Buyer in completing such Joint Punch List items on Seller’s behalf.  Buyer agrees (and will agree in the Completion Escrow Agreement (A) not to object to disbursements to Seller without good cause, and (B) if it is determined that Buyer has objected without good cause and has maintained such wrongful position for in excess of 30 days, Buyer shall owe Seller interest at the lesser of (1) the rate of eighteen (18%) per annum, or (2) the maximum lawful rate Seller may contract to charge Buyer hereunder, on the amount of funding wrongfully withheld in addition to the disbursement for such costs.

Seller agrees that Buyer shall have the right to designate a representative or representatives, such as a consulting architect and/or engineer, to assist Buyer in connection with this Agreement and Buyer’s inspections hereunder, including the Joint Punch List Walk-through.  Seller agrees to cooperate reasonably with any such representative designated by Buyer so long as such representative does not cause disruption or delay in the progress of Seller’s construction.

F.

SELLER’S LIMITED WARRANTY:  

In connection with the Facility constructed by Seller hereunder, Seller warrants that such improvements and fixtures shall be of good workmanship and material, all of which shall be subject to Seller’s Warranty as hereinbelow described.  At Closing all assignable equipment and appliance warranties on Manufacturer Equipment (defined below) shall be assigned by Seller to Buyer.  Additionally, once Seller’s warranty provided for herein has expired, Seller shall assign all written and implied warranties from subcontractors and material suppliers to Buyer, without recourse on or representation by Seller of any kind.  Except as otherwise provided for herein, as its sole and exclusive obligation to Buyer after Closing, Seller agrees for a period of twelve (12) months [and twenty-four (24) months with respect to the roof, foundation, structural support elements, and Covered Leaks (as defined below)] following Substantial Completion (the “Warranty Period”) to repair and correct any latent defects in construction of the Facility, excepting only equipment that is incorporated into the work and that is (as of the date of installation) covered by any type of warranty from the equipment manufacturer (“Manufacturer Equipment”).  The repair obligation of Seller under the preceding sentence is herein called the “Seller’s Warranty”).  Except as otherwise provided herein, Seller agrees following receipt of written notice from Buyer identifying the specific defects with reasonable particularity to make or have made all repairs and correct all defects, within a commercially reasonable time of receipt of such notice of defect.  Without limiting any of the foregoing, upon receipt of such notice of defect from Buyer, Seller’s Warranty shall require that Seller make necessary repairs during the applicable Warranty Period so as to cause the Facility to be watertight and leakproof in all material respects at every point and in every area, this provision being intended to refer to watertightness and leakproof from the elements in regard to the roof and enclosing walls, not as to pipe leakage, condensation from humidity, or floodwater), except where leaks can be attributed to damage by external forces beyond Seller's control such as (i) extreme weather that is sufficient to cause a casualty, and (ii) negligence or abuse by Buyer, its employees, agents, contractors, servants, invitees or licensees, including any entry onto the roof by Buyer or its personnel or contractors (such leaks covered by Seller’s Warranty being herein called “Covered Leaks”).  Upon receipt of written notice from Buyer during the Warranty Period of the existence of Covered Leaks, and if in fact such Covered Leaks have occurred or are occurring, Seller will proceed with commercially reasonable diligence to determine the source of water penetration and, at Seller's own expense, do any work necessary to make the Facility watertight in respect to Covered Leaks. Seller, at its own expense, shall also repair or replace any other damaged finishes, fixtures (excluding Buyer trade fixtures) and Seller installed elements of the Premises damaged as a result of Covered Leaks, to return the Facility to its original condition (but subject to ordinary wear and tear), but Seller shall not be responsible for repairs or damage to any personal property or trade fixtures of Buyer, Buyer hereby waiving any claims against Seller for damage or loss to its personal property and trade fixtures (or other installations) to the extent the same could have been insured against under a Causes of Loss – Special Form policy of property insurance covering such items for their full replacement cost, unless such damage or loss is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or

For purposes hereof, “latent defects” means any part of the Facility, not apparent on a review and inspection of the Facility by Buyer and its expert consultants (without invasive or destructive testing or inspection), that is either (a) not constructed in a good and workmanlike manner, (b) in some material respect not constructed according to the Final Construction Documents approved or deemed approved by Buyer, or (c) not in compliance in all material respects with all governmental codes and regulations in effect at the time the Facility received a building permit for their construction (unless grandfathered under some applicable law, ordinance or regulation).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required by the Seller’s Warranty to conform concealed items to the Final Construction Documents where any non-conformity does not materially affect the structural integrity or function of the Facility from what was designed, or that is uneconomical to repair in relation to the benefit to be obtained from the repair (in such latter case, Seller shall be entitled to choose either to repair or pay Buyer the loss of market value of the Property by reason of the non-conformity).  During the Warranty Period, Buyer shall notify Seller of any latent defects requiring repair and allow Seller to correct or engage its contractor(s) to correct the latent defect at Seller’s expense.  No warranty of fitness of the Facility for a specific purpose is expressed or implied by Seller.  The Seller’s Warranty provided in this paragraph shall be in lieu of any other warranty or remedy implied by law, all of which are hereby waived and released by Buyer.

G.

12.

INSPECTION CONTINGENCIES; LIMITED BUYER CANCELLATION CONTINGENCY:  

A.

ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT CONTINGENCY:

Buyer shall have a period of ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s phase one environmental site assessment of the Property conducted by an independent third party environmental consultant chosen by Seller, stating that it substantially complies with current ASTM standards therefor (the “Phase One ESA”), within which to cancel this Contract by written notice to Seller in the event that the Phase One ESA either (i) discloses environmental contamination of the Property, (ii) recommends additional or phase II testing to eliminate some reasonable basis to suspect that environmental contamination may be present, or (iii) does not comply with the requirements hereof, which cancellation notice shall state the basis for Buyer’s objection to the Phase One ESA.  If the objection is solely that the Phase One ESA does not comply with the requirements hereof, Seller shall have the right to cure such defects within five (5) business days of receipt of Buyer’s notice of cancellation, in which event Buyer’s cancellation notice shall be deemed void and this Contract shall remain in full effect.  The Phase One ESA shall be prepared by an environmental consultant selected by Seller, and shall be dated no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Date hereof, shall be addressed to Seller and Buyer (or, if addressed only to Seller, shall be supplemented or accompanied by a letter entitling Buyer to rely on such Phase One ESA).  Should Buyer fail to timely give notice of such cancellation, Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to have waived this contingency.

B.

LIMITED BUYER CANCELLATION CONTINGENCY:

Buyer shall have a period of five (5) days after the earlier of (i) fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date hereof, or (ii) the latest of Buyer’s receipt of the Phase One ESA or Survey, but in no event shall said deadline for Buyer to make its election be less than twenty-one (21) days after the Effective Date, to cancel this Contract for no reason, i.e., without the justification required by Paragraph 12A thereof or any other justification, by (i) within such 5-day period, giving unconditional written notice of cancellation of this Contract to Seller indicating its election to cancel pursuant to this subparagraph B, (ii) within ten (10) days after Seller’s delivery of invoices reflecting its incurring of such costs, paying Seller a sum equal to the Plans Cost (which Plan Costs may, at Buyer’s option, be paid by Buyer by Buyer giving written notice to the Title Company to deduct such Plan Costs from the Down Payment that otherwise would be refunded to Buyer hereunder), and (iii) within such 10-day period, paying Seller a cancellation fee of $10,000 (the “Cancellation Fee”) (which shall cover all of Seller’s other investigation expenses and time investment in this transaction other than Plans Cost).   For purposes hereof, the “Plans Cost” means the costs incurred by Seller with third-party architects and engineers in preparing or commencing the preparation of Construction Documents and/or Final Construction Documents pursuant hereto, not to exceed $15,000.00 (the “Maximum Reimbursement Sum”).  The Title Company shall deduct the Cancellation Fee from the Down Payment and pay the same over to Seller, shall retain and hold an amount of the Down Payment equal to the Maximum Reimbursement Sum for a period of thirty days after receipt of Buyer’s termination notice hereunder pending receipt of notice from Seller of the amount of Plans Costs (not to exceed the above limit) that are additionally to be withheld from the Down Payment and paid over directly to Seller by the Title Company, and shall return the balance of the Down Payment to Buyer.   If the Title Company does not receive notice from Seller of such Plans Costs in such period, it shall notify Seller in writing of its intent to release the remainder of the Down Payment to Buyer and if Seller still does not provide such Plans Costs statement to the Title Company within five (5) business days after the Title Company’s notice it shall release the balance of the Down Payment then being held by it to the Buyer.

13.

19.

SEVERABILITY:  If any provision of this Contract shall, for any rea­son, be held to be violative of any applicable law, and so much of this Con­tract is held to be unenforceable, then the invalidity of such specific pro­vision shall not be held to invalidate any other provision of this Con­tract, all of which other provisions shall remain in full force and effect to the maximum extent allowed by applicable law.

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS REGARDING

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE FACILITY

1.

THE FACILITY  

Upon Seller’s acquiring title to the Property, Seller agrees to build thereon, at Seller’s expense, the Facility described in the Contract and Exhibits thereto, subject to Buyer responsibility for Change Costs and Buyer Delay (as these terms are defined below).  The following additional terms apply to Seller’s construction of the Facility:

(a)

Buyer Acceptance of Property and Outline Specifications.  Buyer has examined and accepts the Property and the Outline Specifications, and each appurtenance thereto, and agrees to accept the Property and Facility upon Substantial Completion (as defined elsewhere in the Contract), subject only to Buyer’s rights to approve the condition of title and a Survey pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the Contract,  Buyer’s right to approve a Phase One ESA pursuant to Paragraph 12 of the Contract, Seller’s completion of any Punch List Items as provided in Paragraph 6.E of the Contract, Seller’s Warranty as provided in Paragraph 6.F of the Contract, and Seller’s delivery of the deed and other closing documents required by the Contract.

(b)

Preparation and Approval of Final Construction Documents.  Seller will provide, at Seller’s expense, copies of final detailed construction drawings and specifications for the Facility (the “Construction Documents”) to Buyer for its review prior to commencing construction, with Seller to use its best reasonable efforts to have such initial Construction Documents conform to the Outline Specifications (still, however, subject to Buyer’s review to verify such compliance).  Buyer may object only to non-compliance of the Construction Documents with specific requirements of the Outline Specifications attached hereto, or non-compliance of the Construction Documents with applicable laws or regulations.  Buyer shall make appropriate detailed objections to the Construction Documents to Seller in writing within seven (7) business days after receipt thereof.  Seller may at its discretion defer proposed changes in the design or components of the Facility (“Design/Construction Scope Changes”) until after the approval of the Final Construction Documents (then to be requested and considered as Change Orders) if Seller considers that the process of restarting or revising the Construction Documents will result in inordinate delay.  If Buyer requests and Seller considers any Design/Construction Scope Changes submitted by Buyer prior to finalizing Construction Documents, all delay associated therewith (whether or not approved) shall be Buyer Delay for all purposes hereof.  If any Design/Construction Scope Changes are approved by Seller during the process of preparing or finalizing the initial Construction Documents or at any time thereafter, the design cost only for modifying or adding to the Construction Documents to accommodate such Design/Construction Scope Changes shall be borne by Seller only for the first time (one time only) that Buyer submits any one or simultaneously submitted group of Design/Construction Scope Changes that Seller approves (Buyer paying all other Change Costs associated with such changes other than such re-design cost), but after one such Design/Construction Scope Change (or simultaneously submitted group of Design/Construction Scope Changes) all further plans modification expenses will be borne by Buyer as Change Costs.  If Buyer fails to timely make such written objections to the Construction Documents submitted by Seller, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved such Construction Documents without change (including any variance therein from the Outline Specifications).  If Buyer timely makes such written objections, then Seller shall revise and resubmit to Buyer for final approval the revised Construction Documents responding to objections timely and properly made by Buyer.  If Buyer fails to notify Seller in writing of its final corrections within seven (7) business days of receipt of the revised Construction Documents, then Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to have approved such revised Construction Documents.  Should Buyer give timely notice of any improperly made corrections in the revised Construction Documents submitted by Seller, then the Construction Documents, conformed to valid corrections so noted by Buyer, shall be deemed approved by Buyer without further submittal thereof to Buyer and Seller may commence the permitting process and construction thereof.  Should Seller elect to resubmit the Construction Documents to Buyer on any further occasions, Buyer shall note its corrections in writing to Seller within five (5) business days of Seller’s provision of the revised set of Construction Documents or Buyer will be deemed to have approved the revised Construction Documents so submitted.  The final Construction Documents approved or deemed approved by Buyer hereunder, as subsequently amended by written Change Orders (if any) approved in writing by Seller and Buyer, are herein called the “Final Construction Documents.”  The Final Construction Documents will be prepared by an architect or engineer licensed in the State of Texas and required by Seller’s contract with such architect to maintain errors and omissions insurance of $1,000,000, which contract will require the maintenance of such insurance for a period of at least one year from the date of completion of the architect’s or engineer’s work pursuant to such contract.

(c)

Cost of Original Plans Included.  The costs of preparation of Construction Documents as

required by municipal or governing authority are included in Seller’s cost, but only as to the improvements and fixtures as contemplated in the Outline Specifications and the one set of Design/Construction Scope Changes as permitted by paragraph (b) (costs related to any modifications to the Facility to add to, modify or subtract from those improvements and fixtures shown in the Outline Specifications, other than such one customer review change, are Buyer’s cost as Change Costs).  

(d)

Construction; Buyer Delay.  Seller shall begin construction of the described Facility within the time specified in Paragraph 6D of the Contract.  Seller shall cause contractors of its choice to construct the Facility in substantial accordance with the Final Construction Documents.  Subject to the Early Installations allowed in Paragraph 6.H of the Contract, Buyer may not move into or begin to fixturize or perform any construction in or upon the Property until after Substantial Completion of the Facility by Seller and completion of Closing.  Delay in the Substantial Completion of the Facility as the probable result of any of the following constitutes “Buyer Delay”: (i) any failure by Buyer to timely approve or approve with noted comments and changes the Construction Documents or any revision to any such documents, (ii) any Change Request by Buyer, and the implementation of any approved Change Order, (iii) the fact that any change in materials required by Buyer (including, without limitation, specifications provided for Allowance or undesignated items) require special fabrication or ordering from out-of-town suppliers require a lead time to obtain that is not in keeping with Seller’s construction schedule, (iv) any interference or other act or omission of Buyer, its agents or employees, including any violation of the provisions of the Contract or any delay in giving authorizations or approvals pursuant to the Contract or any exhibit thereto, that delays Seller’s prosecution of the Facility, or (v) any other event expressly identified as Buyer Delay under any provision of the Contract or any exhibit thereto.  The occurrence of more than 45 days of Buyer Delay is unacceptable, and each additional day of Buyer Delay will result in increase of the Sales Price by a factor calculated by multiplying the Wall Street Journal quoted Prime Rate existing as of the date of Seller’s purchase of the Property, plus two percent, times the Sales Price under the Contract, and dividing by 365.  The occurrence of more than 90 days of Buyer Delay will be considered a default by Buyer under the Contract, which shall allow Seller to exercise its remedies under Paragraph 11. of the Contract.  Any state of facts not arising from a Change Request by Buyer, but which gives rise to a change referred to in the definition of Change Costs and entitles Seller to a Change Order to accommodate such necessary change (such as discovery of unanticipated site conditions) as per Paragraph 2(d), below, will be considered force majeure but not Buyer Delay.

2.

CHANGE ORDERS

In regard to Seller’s construction of the Facility, if Buyer desires that a change be made to the Outline Specifications or preliminary Construction Documents or Final Construction Documents, Buyer shall request such change in writing (a “Change Request”) and such change (as well as changes required by law or unanticipated site conditions) shall be governed by the following provisions:

(a)

Approval as Change Order.  Seller shall be reasonable in approving Change Requests, but no Change Request will be deemed a “Change Order” until approved and signed by Seller’s authorized representative. If any Change Request requires changes that will delay the Substantial Completion of the Facility, Seller may condition its approval of such Change Order on Buyer’s written acknowledgement that the number of days of such delay specified by Seller will constitute “Buyer Delay” for purposes of establishing Substantial Completion under the Contract.  A “Change Order” is the formal written change order prepared by Seller and delivered to Buyer in response to Buyer’s Change Request (or other condition requiring a Change Order by the terms of the Contract or any exhibit thereto, such as discovery of unanticipated site conditions), containing the final changes in the Final Construction Documents and establishing a cost for such Change Work, which is signed by Seller and accepted in writing by Buyer.  Work or items added to the Facility by Change Order is herein collectively referred to as “Change Work”).  As stated above, the Change Order may include a condition that Buyer acknowledge the Buyer Delay that will result from such Change Order, as established by Seller, as a condition to Seller’s approval. Upon receipt of a Change Request (or discovery of a condition requiring a Change Order by the terms of the Contract or any exhibit thereto, such as discovery of unanticipated site conditions), Seller may discontinue all work that may be affected, and the time to consider such Change Request during such discontinuance shall, whether or not the change is ultimately approved by Buyer or Seller, be “Buyer Delay”; provided, however, that if Seller does not approve or disapprove such Change Request in writing within 10 days after receipt of Buyer’s Change Request then any additional time taken by Seller to evaluate a Change Request (including discontinuance of Work during such excess period taken by Seller to evaluate the Change Request) (a “Seller Response Delay”) shall not be considered Buyer Delay.

(b)

Change Costs. Buyer shall pay all costs and expenses relating to any Change Request and the resulting change in construction, including, without limitation, costs of architectural design, revisions to the Final

Construction Documents, costs required to be paid to any contractor for idle time or time during which construction must be suspended pending documentation of such change, added costs of additional or substituted materials, added costs of labor (including demobilization, remobilization, contractor overhead, general conditions and profit), costs of removing or modifying other work, additional permitting costs, if any, and additional costs of equipment rental and the like (collectively, but excluding such costs and expenses relating to any Change Request for any period during which there is a Seller Response Delay, the “Change Costs”).

(c)

Payment of Change Costs.  Buyer agrees to pay one-half (1/2) of the Change Cost of each approved Change Order in advance of Seller’s institution of such change, within ten (10) days after Seller’s itemization of the Change Costs, and the balance upon completion of the work involved in such Change Order.   Such Change Costs shall be reflected as a corresponding increase in the Sales Price.  If Buyer fails to make such payment, Seller shall be entitled to deem the proposed Change Order void (whether or not the same had been approved by Seller) and proceed with construction without such change.   

(d)

Change Orders Incorporated.  Change Orders (issued by Seller and timely approved by Buyer hereunder) are incorporated by reference into the Contract when and as approved.  Seller will not proceed with work pursuant to a Change Order without written acceptance of the Change Order from Buyer; provided, however, that Buyer must not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of a Change Order arising from site conditions not actually known to Seller and not normally anticipated on a typical site, or other conditions of the job not normally encountered and not actually known to Seller, requiring Change Costs that do not result from Buyer’s Change Request.
