A Modification is a Change Order or a written amendment to this Part 2 Agreement signed by both parties, or a Construction Change Directive issued by the Owner in accordance with Section 8.3. See Rider.

1.1.2 The term "Work" means the construction and services provided by the Design/Builder to fulfill the Design/Builder's obligations, including, without limitation, all design and construction, labor, materials and equipment required to complete the Project.

1.1.3 et. seq. See Rider.
1.2 EXECUTION, CORRELATION AND INTENT

1.2.1 It is the intent of the Owner and Design/Builder that the Contract Documents include all items necessary for proper execution and completion of the Work. The Contract Documents are complementary, and what is required by one shall be as binding as if required by all; performance by the Design/Builder shall be required only to the extent consistent with and reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents as being necessary to produce the intended results. Words that have well-known technical or construction industry meanings are used in the Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized meanings.

1.2.2 If the Design/Builder believes or is advised by the Architect or by another design professional retained to provide services on the Project that implementation of any instruction received from the Owner would cause a violation of any applicable law, the Design/Builder shall immediately notify the Owner and promptly confirm such notice in writing. Neither the Design/Builder nor the Architect shall be obligated to perform any act which either believes will violate any applicable law.

1.2.3 Nothing contained in this Part 2 Agreement shall create a contractual relationship between the Owner and any person or entity other than the Design/Builder, except it is understood and agreed that the Owner is an intended third-party beneficiary of all contracts between Design/Builder and the Architect, any engineer, other design professionals, as well as a third-party beneficiary of all of Design/Builder's subcontracts, purchase orders, and other agreements related to this Project. See Rider.

1.3 OWNERSHIP AND USE OF DOCUMENTS

1.3.1 Drawings, specifications, and other documents and electronic data furnished by the Design/Builder are instruments of service. The Design/Builder's Architect and other providers of professional services shall retain all common law, statutory and other reserved rights, including copyright in those instruments of service furnished by them. Drawings, specifications, and other documents and electronic data are furnished for use solely with respect to this Part 2 Agreement. The Owner shall be permitted to retain copies, including reproducible copies, of the drawings, specifications, and other documents and electronic data furnished by the Design/Builder for information and reference in connection with the Project except as provided in Sections 1.3.2 and 1.3.3. See Rider.

1.3.2 Drawings, specifications, and other documents and electronic data furnished by the Design/Builder shall not be used by the Owner or others on other projects, except by agreement in writing and with appropriate compensation to the Design/Builder, unless the Design/Builder is adjudged to be in default under this Part 2 Agreement or under any other subsequently executed agreement.

1.3.3 If the Design/Builder defaults in the Design/Builder's obligations to the Owner, the Architect shall grant a license to the Owner to use the drawings, specifications, and other documents and electronic data furnished by the Architect to the Design/Builder for the completion of the Project, conditioned upon the Owner's execution of an agreement to cure the Design/Builder's default in payment to the Architect for services previously performed and to indemnify the Architect with regard to claims arising from such reuse without the Architect's professional involvement.

1.3.4 Submission or distribution of the Design/Builder's documents to meet official regulatory requirements or for similar purposes in connection with the Project is not to be construed as publication in derogation of the rights reserved in Section 1.3.1.

7.1.2 The insurance required by Section 7.1.1 shall be written for not less than limits of liability specified in this Part 2 Agreement or required by law, whichever coverage is greater. Coverages shall be written on an occurrence basis, and shall be maintained without interruption from date of commencement of the Work until date of final payment and termination of any coverage required to be maintained after final payment. See Rider.

7.1.2.1 et seq. See Rider.

7.1.3 Certificates of Insurance acceptable to the Owner shall be delivered to the Owner immediately after execution of this Part 2 Agreement. These Certificates and the insurance policies required by this Section 7.1 shall contain a provision that coverages afforded under the policies will not be canceled or allowed to expire until at least 30 days' prior written notice has been given to the Owner. If any of the foregoing insurance coverages are required to remain in force after final payment, an additional certificate evidencing continuation of such coverage shall be submitted with the application for final payment. Information concerning reduction of coverage shall be furnished by the Design/Builder with reasonable promptness in accordance with the Design/Builder's information and belief. See Rider.

7.1.4 See Rider.
7.2 OWNER'S LIABILITY INSURANCE

7.2.1 The Owner shall be responsible for purchasing and maintaining the Owner's usual liability insurance. Optionally, the Owner may purchase and maintain other insurance for self-protection against claims which may arise from operations under this Part 2 Agreement. The Design/Builder shall not be responsible for purchasing and maintaining this optional Owner's liability insurance unless specifically required by the Contract Documents.

7.3 PROPERTY INSURANCE

7.3.1 Unless otherwise provided under this Part 2 Agreement, the Owner shall purchase and maintain, in a company or companies authorized to do business in the jurisdiction in which the principal improvements are to be located, property insurance upon the Work to the full insurable value thereof on a replacement cost basis with Owner's customary deductibles. Such property insurance shall be maintained until final payment has been made or earlier termination of the Part 2 Agreement. This insurance shall include interests of the Owner, the Design/Builder, and their respective contractors and subcontractors in the Work.

7.3.2 Property insurance shall be on an all-risk policy form and shall insure against the perils of fire and extended coverage and physical loss or damage including, without duplication of coverage, theft, vandalism, malicious mischief, collapse, falsework, temporary buildings and debris removal including demolition occasioned by enforcement of any applicable legal requirements, and shall cover reasonable compensation for the services and expenses of the Design/Builder's Architect and other professionals required as a result of such insured loss. Coverage for other perils shall not be required unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents.

7.3.3 If the Owner does not intend to purchase such property insurance required by this Part 2 Agreement and with all of the coverages in the amount described above, the Owner shall so inform the Design/Builder prior to commencement of the construction. The Design/Builder shall effect insurance which will protect the interests of the Design/Builder and the Design/Builder's contractors in the construction, and by appropriate Change Order the cost thereof shall be charged to the Owner.

7.3.4 Unless otherwise provided, the Owner shall purchase and maintain such boiler and machinery insurance required by this Part 2 Agreement or by law, which shall specifically cover such insured objects during installation and until final acceptance by the Owner.

7.3.5 A loss insured under the Owner's property insurance shall be adjusted by the Owner. Design/Builder shall bear the risk of loss for damage to the Project or the Project site until title passes to Owner hereunder.

7.3.7 If the Design/Builder requests in writing that insurance for risks other than those described herein or for other special hazards be included in the property insurance policy, the Owner shall, if possible, obtain such insurance, and the cost thereof shall be charged to the Design/Builder by appropriate Change Order.

7.3.8 The Owner and the Design/Builder waive all rights against each other and the Architect and other design professionals, contractors, subcontractors, agents and employees, each of the other, for damages caused by fire or other perils to the extent covered by property insurance obtained pursuant to this Section 7.3 or other property insurance applicable to the Work. The Owner or Design/ Builder, as appropriate, shall require from contractors and subcontractors by appropriate agreements, written where legally required for validity, similar waivers each in favor of other parties enumerated in this Section 7.3. The policies shall provide such waivers of subrogation by endorsement or otherwise. A waiver of subrogation shall be effective as to a person or entity even though that person or entity would otherwise have a duty of indemnification, contractual or otherwise, did not pay the insurance premium directly or indirectly, and whether or not the person or entity had an insurable interest in the property damaged.

7.3.9 Partial occupancy or use prior to Substantial Completion shall not commence until the insurance company or companies providing property insurance have consented to such partial occupancy or use by endorsement or otherwise. The Owner and the Design/Builder shall take reasonable steps to obtain consent of the insurance company or companies and shall not, without mutual written consent, take any action with respect to partial occupancy or use that would cause cancellation, lapse or reduction of coverage.

7.4 LOSS OF USE OF INSURANCE

7.4.1 The Owner, at the Owner's option, may purchase and maintain such insurance as will insure the Owner against loss of use of the Owner's property due to fire or other hazards, however caused.

7.5 See Rider.
ARTICLE 8 CHANGES IN THE WORK

8.1 CHANGES

8.1.1 Changes in the Work may be accomplished after completion of the Construction Documents without invalidating this Part 2 Agreement, by Change Order, Construction Change Directive, or order for a minor change in the Work, subject to the limitations stated in the Contract Documents. No action, conduct, omission, prior failure, or course of dealing by either party hereto shall act to waive, modify, change, or alter the requirement that Change Orders and Construction Change Directives must be in writing and signed as provided herein. Such written change orders or directives are the exclusive methods for effecting any change to the Contract Sum or Contract Time. The Design/Builder understands and agrees that the Contract Sum and Contract Time cannot be changed by implication, oral agreements, actions, inactions, course of conduct, or constructive change order.

8.1.2 A Change Order shall be based upon agreement between the Owner and the Design/Builder; a Construction Change Directive may be issued by the Owner without the agreement of the Design/Builder; an order for a minor change in the Work may be issued by the Design/Builder alone.

8.1.3 Changes in the Work shall be performed under applicable provisions of the Contract Documents, and the Design/Builder shall proceed promptly, unless otherwise provided in the Change Order, Construction Change Directive, or order for a minor change in the Work.

8.1.4 If unit prices are stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon, and if quantities originally contemplated are so changed in a proposed Change Order or Construction Change Directive that application of such unit prices to quantities of Work proposed will cause substantial inequity to the Owner or the Design/ Builder, the applicable unit prices shall be equitably adjusted.

8.2 CHANGE ORDERS

8.2.1 A Change Order is a written instrument prepared by the Design/Builder and signed by the Owner and the Design/Builder, stating their agreement upon all of the following:

.1 a change in the Work;

.2 the amount of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum; and

.3 the extent of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Time.

.4 See Rider.

8.2.2 If the Owner requests a proposal for a change in the Work from the Design/Builder and subsequently elects not to proceed with the change, a Change Order shall be issued to reimburse the Design/Builder for any costs incurred for estimating services, design services or preparation of proposed revisions to the Contract Documents.

8.3 CONSTRUCTION CHANGE DIRECTIVES

8.3.1 A Construction Change Directive is a written order prepared and signed by the Owner, directing a change in the Work prior to agreement on adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, or both.

8.3.2 Except as otherwise agreed by the Owner and the Design/Builder, the adjustment to the Contract Sum shall be determined on the basis of reasonable but not to exceed actual expenditures and savings of those performing the Work attributable to the change, including the expenditures for design services and revisions to the Contract Documents. In case of an increase in the Contract Sum, the cost shall include a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit as provided in paragraph 8.2.1.4 hereof. In such case, the Design/Builder shall keep and present an itemized accounting together with appropriate supporting data for inclusion in a Change Order. Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, costs for these purposes shall be limited to the following:

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

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

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

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

.5 additional costs of supervision and field office personnel directly attributable to the change; and fees paid to the Architect, engineers and other professionals.

8.3.3 Pending final determination of cost to the Owner, amounts not in dispute may be included in Applications for Payment. The amount of credit to be allowed by the Design/Builder to the Owner for deletion or change which results in a net decrease in the Contract Sum will be actual net cost. When both additions and credits covering related Work or substitutions are involved in a change, the allowance for overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of the net increase, if any, with respect to that change.

8.3.4 When the Owner and the Design/Builder agree upon the adjustments in the Contract Sum and Contract Time, such agreement shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded by preparation and execution of an appropriate Change Order.

8.4 MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK

8.4.1 The Design/Builder shall have authority to make minor changes in the Construction Documents and construction consistent with the intent of the Contract Documents when such minor changes do not involve adjustment in the Contract Sum or extension of the Contract Time. The Design/Builder shall promptly inform the Owner, in writing, prior to making any such minor changes in the Construction Documents and construction.

8.5 CONCEALED CONDITIONS

8.5.1 If conditions are encountered at the site which are (1) subsurface or otherwise concealed physical conditions which differ materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents, or (2) unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature which differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally recognized as inherent in construction activities of the character provided for in the Contract Documents and if Design/Builder should not have discovered such conditions through its diligent reviews of field conditions and plans for the existing building as required pursuant to Rider Paragraph 3.2.8 or Part 1 of the Agreement, then notice by the observing party shall be given to the other party promptly before conditions are disturbed and in no event later than five (5) days after first observance of the conditions. The Contract Sum shall be equitably adjusted for such concealed or unknown conditions by Change Order upon claim by either party made within five (5) days after the claimant becomes aware of the conditions.

8.6 REGULATORY CHANGES

8.6.1 The Design/Builder shall be compensated for changes in the construction necessitated by the enactment or revisions of codes, laws or regulations subsequent to completion of the Construction Documents.

ARTICLE 9 CORRECTION OF WORK

9.1 The Design/Builder shall promptly correct Work rejected by the Owner or known by the Design/Builder to be defective or failing to conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents, whether observed before or after Substantial Completion and whether or not fabricated, installed or completed. The Design/Builder shall bear costs of correcting such rejected Work, including additional testing and inspections.

9.2 If, within one (1) year after the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or, after the date for commencement of warranties established in a written agreement between the Owner and the Design/Builder, or by terms of an applicable special warranty required by the Contract Documents, any of the Work is found to be not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Design/Builder shall correct it promptly after receipt of a written notice from the Owner to do so unless the Owner has previously given the Design/ Builder a written acceptance of such condition. See Rider.

9.2.1 See Rider.

9.3 Nothing contained in this Article 9 shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to other obligations which the Design/Builder might have under the Contract Documents. Establishment of the time period of one (1) year as described in Section 9.2 relates only to the specific obligation of the Design/Builder 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 Design/Builder's liability with respect to the Design/Builder's obligations other than specifically to correct the Work.

9.4 If the Design/Builder fails to correct nonconforming Work as required such that the failure to correct impacts the construction schedule or fails to carry out Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Owner, by written order signed personally or by an agent specifically so empowered by the Owner in writing, may order the Design/Builder to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however, the Owner's right to stop the Work shall not give rise to a duty on the part of the Owner to exercise the right for benefit of the Design/Builder or other persons or entities.

9.5 If the Design/Builder defaults or neglects to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents and fails within five (5) days after receipt of written notice from the Owner to commence and continue correction of such default or neglect with diligence and promptness, the Owner may give a second written notice to the

Design/Builder and, five (5) days following receipt by the Design/Builder of that second written notice and without prejudice to other remedies the Owner may have, correct such deficiencies. In such case an appropriate Change Order shall be issued deducting from payments then or thereafter due the Design/ Builder, the costs of correcting such deficiencies. If the payments then or thereafter due the Design/Builder are not sufficient to cover the amount of the deduction, the Design/Builder shall pay the difference to the Owner. Such action by the Owner shall be subject to dispute resolution procedures as provided in Article 10.

ARTICLE 10 DISPUTE RESOLUTION - MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION

10.1 Claims, disputes or other matters in question between the parties to this Part 2 Agreement arising out of or relating to this Part 2 Agreement or breach thereof shall be subject to and decided by mediation or arbitration.

See Rider.

11.3.3 Costs caused by delays or by improperly timed activities or defective construction shall be borne by the party responsible therefor.

11.4 CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES

11.4.1 If either party to this Part 2 Agreement suffers injury or damage to person or property because of an act or omission of the other party, of any of the other party's employees or agents, or of others for whose acts such party is legally liable, written notice of such injury or damage, whether or not insured, shall be given to the other party within a reasonable time not exceeding twenty-one (21) days after first observance. The notice shall provide sufficient detail to enable the other party to investigate the matter. If a claim of additional cost or time related to this claim is to be asserted, it shall be filed in writing.

11.5 INDEMNIFICATION

11.5.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Design/Builder shall indemnify, hold harmless and pay for defense of the Owner, Owner's representatives and consultants, and agents and employees of any of them from and against claims, damages, losses and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys' fees, to the extent arising out of or resulting from performance of the Work, provided that such claim, damage, loss or expense is attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death, or to injury to or destruction of tangible property (other than the Work itself) including loss of use resulting therefrom, but only to the extent caused by negligent acts or omissions of the Design/Builder, anyone directly or indirectly employed by the Design/Builder or anyone for whose acts the Design/Builder may be liable, regardless of whether or not such claim, damage, loss or expense is caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder. Design/Builder shall not be obligated to indemnify Owner to the extent any such claim, damage, loss or expense is caused by Owner or its representatives, consultants, agents and employees. Such obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other rights or obligations of indemnity which would otherwise exist as to a party or person described in this Section 11.5.

11.5.2 In claims against any person or entity indemnified under this Section 11.5 by an employee of the Design/Builder, anyone directly or indirectly employed by the Design/Builder or anyone for whose acts the Design/Builder may be liable, the indemnification obligation under this Section 11.5 shall not be limited (i) by a limitation on amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for the Design/Builder under workers' compensation acts, disability benefit acts or other employee benefit acts or, (ii) pursuant to any case law or common law.

11.8 EXTENT OF AGREEMENT

11.8.1 This Part 2 Agreement together with the Part 1 Agreement and the Rider attached to each represents the entire agreement between the Owner and the Design/Builder and supersedes prior negotiations, representations or agreements, either written or oral. This Part 2 Agreement may be amended only by written instrument and signed by both the Owner and the Design/Builder.

ARTICLE 12 TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT

12.1 TERMINATION BY THE OWNER

12.1.1 This Part 2 Agreement may be terminated by the Owner, at its option, provided Owner has a legitimate business reason, related to the Project or otherwise, for such termination, upon seven (7) days' written notice to the Design/Builder. If such termination occurs during the construction phase, the Owner shall pay the Design/Builder for Work completed, orders in process that cannot be cancelled and for reimbursable expenses incurred to the date of termination, plus the profit Design/Builder would have received if the balance of the Work had been executed, subject to Design/Builder's obligation to use all commercial reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages by seeking replacement work or otherwise, with Design/Builder's profit being calculated at five (5%) percent of the Contract Sum for the remaining unexecuted Work ("Termination Expenses"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Termination Expense shall not be payable by Owner if Owner terminates this Agreement for cause or pursuant to Section 13.1.1 hereof and Design/Builder fails to revise the construction documents to reduce the Contract Sum to the amount stated in Section 13.1.1 to Owner's reasonable satisfaction.

12.1.2 If the Design/Builder defaults or persistently fails or neglects to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents or fails to perform the provisions of this Part 2 Agreement, the Owner may give written notice that the Owner intends to terminate this Part 2 Agreement. If the Design/Builder fails to correct the defaults, failure or neglect within seven (7) days after being given notice, the Owner may then give a second written notice and, after an additional seven (7) days, the Owner may without prejudice to any other remedy, make good such deficiencies and deduct the reasonable cost thereof from payments due the Design/Builder or, at Owner's option, may terminate the employment of the Design/Builder and take possession of the site and of all materials thereon owned by the Design/Builder, as well as all Construction Documents, including without limitation, all drawings, plans and specifications, and finish the Work by whatever method the Owner may deem expedient. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Design/Builder's cure of such default or failure to perform would take longer than such initial seven (7) day period following Owner's notice and the additional seven (7) day period, Design/Builder shall have thirty (30) days from the date of Owner's initial notice to complete such cure, provided Design/Builder begins to cure such default or failure within the initial seven (7) day period and diligently pursues such cure, and provided such cure will not impact the construction schedule or date of Substantial Completion, before Owner exercises its rights under this Section 12.1.2. Design/Builder shall, in the event of such termination, remove its equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery from the site within three (3) days from the date of such termination. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum exceeds the expense of finishing the Work and all damages incurred by the Owner, such excess shall be paid to the Design/Builder. If the expense of completing the Work and all damages incurred by the Owner exceeds the unpaid balance, the Design/Builder shall pay the difference to the Owner. This obligation for payment shall survive termination of this Part 2 Agreement. See Rider.

12.2 TERMINATION BY THE DESIGN/BUILDER

12.2.1 If the Owner fails to make payment when due, the Design/Builder may give written notice of the Design/ Builder's intention to terminate this Part 2 Agreement. If the Design/Builder fails to receive payment within seven (7) days after giving of such notice by the Owner, the Design/Builder may give a second written notice and, seven (7) days after giving of such second written notice by the Owner, may terminate this Part 2 Agreement and recover from the Owner payment for Work executed and for proven losses sustained upon materials, equipment, tools, and construction equipment and machinery, including reasonable profit and applicable damages.

ARTICLE 13 BASIS OF COMPENSATION

The Owner shall compensate the Design/Builder in accordance with Article 5, Payments, and the other provisions of this Part 2 Agreement as described below.

2.4.2 Owners shall provide, at its sole cost and expense, all layout at the Project site of clearing limits, erosion control measures, property lines, base lines, bench marks and building lines through the services of the Civil Engineer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Design/Builder shall be responsible for the coordination of the Work with the layout activities of the Civil Engineer and Design/Builder shall ensure that the Civil Engineer's layout of the Project is consistent with the Construction Documents. Design/Builder shall notify Owner if, based on Design/Builder's experience and expertise, any aspect of the layout completed by Civil Engineer is not adequate or incorrect in any respects for the completion of the Project in accordance with the Construction Documents.

2.5 [continued] Unless required by applicable laws, Design/Builder hereby agrees that any and all environmental information regarding the Project site or existing improvements located thereon shall be kept strictly confidential and be used solely for the purpose of assessing whether the existing environmental status will have any adverse impact on the Design/Builder or any of its consultants, contractors, subcontractors, employees, agents or others at the Project site, or on the construction schedule. Design/Builder shall not use any such environmental information in any way detrimental to Owner. This provision shall survive completion of the Project for a period of four (4) years.

3.1.1 [continued] The provisions of Rider paragraph 1.2.1 to the Part 1 Agreement are deemed repeated here.

3.1.4 The Design/Builder shall supervise, direct and perform the Work using the Design/Builder's best skill and attention.

3.1.5 The Design/Builder shall not be relieved of obligations to perform the Work in accordance with this Agreement, either by the activities of Owner of Owner's separate contractors, provided Owner complies with Section 2.1 of this Part 2 Agreement, or by tests, inspections or governmental approvals, except for the Site Permits, required by persons other than Design/Builder.

3.2.1 [continued] As part of its Basic Services, Design/Builder shall cause Architect, the engineers, excluding the Civil Engineer and Soil Engineer, and other design professionals to issue progress prints on a frequent and periodic basis to Owner during the drafting of the Construction Documents.

3.2.2 [continued] The Design/Builder shall designate in Exhibit C hereto the names of the individuals within its employ who will serve as Project Manager, Architect, and Project Superintendent for the Project, all of whom (i) must be

reasonably acceptable to and approved by the Owner, (ii) may not be voluntarily replaced on the Project by the Design/Builder without the prior consent of the Owner, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (iii) shall be replaced upon the reasonable request of the Owner, with an individual or individuals in the Design/Builder's employ and reasonably acceptable to and approved by the Owner.

3.2.2.1 Design/Builder shall cause Architect to visit the Project site once per calendar month (or the equivalent number of times adjusted to reflect the timing of completion of critical components of the Work, at Owner's request) or more frequently as necessary in the Architect's professional judgment to be familiar with the progress and quality of the Work, and more frequently if requested by Owner and at the Owner's sole cost and expense. From these visits Architect will determine if the Work is proceeding in accordance with the Contract Documents and report to Owner.

3.2.2.2 As part of its Basic Services, Design/Builder will schedule and conduct weekly progress meetings at the Project site and shall include the Owner, and all required subcontractors. Design/Builder will keep the minutes of each meeting and circulate the minutes from each meeting prior to the next meeting.

3.2.2.3 As requested by Owner and as part of Basic Services, Design/Builder shall cause Architect to prepare documents for alternate, separate or sequential bids.

3.2.2.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the preliminary budget and schedule of values for the Project exceeds the Contract Sum set forth in subparagraph 13.1.1 hereof, at Owner's option, Design/Builder shall cause Architect in consultation with Owner and at no additional charge to Owner, to revise the Construction Documents, including without limitation, the drawings and specifications as required to reduce the Contract Sum to match the Contract Sum set forth in subparagraph 13.1.1 hereof.

3.2.3.1 The schedule of values for the Project is attached hereto and made a part hereof at Exhibit D. Design/Builder shall complete the Project for the amount set forth in such schedule of values, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. The amounts set forth in the schedule of values as attached at Exhibit D include the following conditions: (i) all stumps removed from the Project site are to be buried in the storm water retention pond to the extent consistent with the site plans and all applicable legal requirements and permits; (ii) Design/Builder shall not install a sub-base around the storm water retention pond; (ii) all soil excavated on the Project site shall remain on the Project site and shall be used to construct the Project without any additional processing, including, without limitation, screening, reducing or increasing moisture content; (iii) all topsoil cleared from the Project site shall be reused on the Project site; (iv) no topsoil shall be imported to the Project site; (v) Design/Builder shall not construct any retaining walls or drainage equipment or installations adjacent to the loading dock; (vi) Design/Builder shall pitch the area adjacent to the loading dock away from the building (vii) Design/Builder shall raise the finished floor level of the building two (2) feet to accommodate excess fill from generated at the Project site and (viii) no rock removal larger than one (1) cubic yard in size or hidden structure removal is included in the amounts set forth in the schedule of values. To the extent the parties mutually agree that completion of the Project in accordance with the Construction Documents and construction schedule requires either importing of structural fill or exporting excess fill from the Project site, such costs shall be in addition to the amounts set forth in the schedule of values as follows: (i) imported structural fill - $12.00 per ton and (ii) exported excess fill - $7.00 per cubic yard.

3.2.5 [continued] Design/Builder's Basic Services shall also include, without limitation, all services required to assist in obtaining all governmental approvals and permits which shall be necessary for the construction and use and occupancy of the Project, excluding the Site Permits, but including, without limitation, the following: preparation of presentation plans, conferring with representatives of governmental agencies and appearances before public meetings of all governmental boards, agencies and commissions, as shall be necessary to obtain all such approvals and permits. Design/Builder shall coordinate all contacts with governmental representatives and appearances before such boards, agencies and commissions, with Owner. Design/Builder shall meet with Owner, representatives of the Owner and governmental officials as required in order to obtain the necessary approvals for the Project.

3.2.5.1 The Design/Builder shall enforce strict discipline and good order among the Design/Builder's employees and other persons carrying out Design/Builder's obligations hereunder. The Design/Builder shall not permit employment of unfit persons or persons not skilled in tasks assigned to them.

3.2.8 [continued] The Design/Builder shall carefully study and compare the Construction Documents with each other, with the field measurements obtained by Design/Builder pursuant to Part 1 of the Agreement, and with information furnished by the Owner pursuant to paragraph 2.5 hereof or Part 1 of the Agreement. Design/Builder, at its expense, shall at once cause the Architect or engineers, as applicable, to correct any errors, inconsistencies or omissions discovered. If Design/Builder performs any construction activity knowing it involves a recognized error, inconsistency or omission in the Contract Documents without causing the Architect or engineers, as applicable, to correct same, the Design/Builder shall assume appropriate responsibility for such performance and shall bear the direct costs attributable to correction.

3.2.9 [continued] If required by the Owner or its representative, Design/Builder shall furnish satisfactory evidence as to the kind and quality of materials and equipment. The Design/Builder shall be obligated to repair, replace or re-execute, without cost to Owner, any defective Work or materials and any condition resulting from defective workmanship or materials as promptly as reasonably possible, and to use all reasonable efforts to cure as soon as reasonably possible after notification to, or discovery by, the Design/Builder of such defective workmanship or materials, or sooner if such condition threatens the safety of the occupants of the Project.

3.2.10 [continued] Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Project shall be exempt from all New York State sales tax and all prices and costs herein provided by Design/Builder shall reflect such exemption. Owner shall provide Design/Builder, its subcontractors and material suppliers, with the necessary certificate evidencing such tax exemption.

3.2.11.1 The Design/Builder shall confine operations at the Project site to areas permitted by law, ordinances, permits and the Contract Documents and shall not unreasonably encumber the site with materials or equipment.

3.2.11.2 If, through no fault of Owner, a mechanic's lien is filed against the Project, Design/Builder, at its expense, without reimbursement from Owner, shall cause such lien to be bonded to Owner's satisfaction or released within sixty (60) days following Design/Builder's receipt of notice from Owner of the existence of such lien unless otherwise provided by Lender.

3.2.12 [continued] Design/Builder hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Owner harmless against any claims arising from infringement of the Drawings and Specifications on another's patent or copyright rights. Design/Builder further agrees to notify Owner prior to incurring any royalty and license fees payable in connection with the Project.

3.2.13 [continued] If the Design/Builder fails to clean up as provided in the Contract Documents, the Owner may do so and the cost thereof shall be charged to the Design/Builder.

3.2.14 [continued] Promptly following receipt of such notice, Owner shall conduct an inspection with Design/Builder to determine whether the Work is substantially complete in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4.3 hereof and the other requirements of the Contract Documents. Together the parties shall prepare a list of items to be completed or corrected (the "Punch List"). Failure to include an item on the Punch List does not alter the responsibility of the Design/Builder to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. When both parties agree that the Work is substantially complete, Design/Builder shall cause the Architect to prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion which shall memorialize the date of Substantial Completion, shall establish responsibilities of the Owner and Design/Builder for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to Work and insurance, and shall fix the time within which the Design/Builder shall finish the items on the Punch List. The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be submitted to the Owner and both Owner and Design/Builder shall sign same if they agree upon the responsibilities assigned to them in the Certificate.

4.3 [continued] Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Part 2 Agreement, the Work will not be considered suitable for Substantial Completion review, and Design/Builder shall not be deemed to have achieved Substantial Completion until: (i) all Project systems included in the Work, to the extent they can be, are operational as designed and scheduled; (ii) to the extent reasonably required, Design/Builder has instructed Owner's

personnel in the operation of all systems and equipment; (iii) Design/Builder has arranged for and obtained all designated or required governmental inspections and certifications necessary for legal use and occupancy of the completed Project, including without limitation, a permanent certificate of occupancy for the Project; and (iv) all final finishes required by the Contract Documents are in place. In general, the only remaining Work shall be minor in nature, so that the Owner could occupy the Project on that date for Owner's intended business purposes and the completion of the Work by the Design/Builder would not materially interfere with or hamper the normal business operations of Owner or those claiming by, through or under Owner.

4.4 [continued] The Design/Builder has prepared a preliminary construction schedule indicating each major category of Work to be performed at the Project site, properly sequenced and coordinated and showing completion of the Work within the time period established in Article 14 hereof, which is attached hereto and made a part hereof at Exhibit E. The Design/Builder shall provide the Owner with monthly, or more frequently if required by the Owner, updates of the preliminary construction schedule until the Construction Documents are completed, at which time the final construction schedule shall be agreed between Owner and Design/Builder in accordance with the terms of the Agreement as modified by this Rider.

4.4.1 The construction schedule shall clearly delineate all contractor and subcontractor start and finish dates, as well as the anticipated dates for Owner's other contractors to coordinate their work with the Design/Builder's Work. Design/Builder shall update the construction schedule as necessary and keep Owner apprised of same, in order to coordinate and integrate the services to be provided by Owner's contractors in the most efficient, cost effective manner possible. The construction schedule shall be updated and revised at appropriate intervals as required by the conditions of the Work and Project, shall be related to the entire Project and shall provide for expeditious and practicable execution of the Work. Upon review and acceptance by the Owner of the construction schedule, it shall be deemed to be a part of the Contract Documents. If not accepted, the construction schedule shall be promptly revised by the Contractor in accordance with the recommendations of the Owner and resubmitted for acceptance by Owner. Design/Builder shall also expedite and coordinate delivery of all purchases of materials and equipment for the Project. Design/Builder shall be responsible for properly scheduling procurement and long-lead time items so delivery of same will not delay progress of the Work.

4.4.2 In addition to the foregoing, the construction schedule shall show realistic activity sequences and durations, allocations of labor and materials, critical dates by which shop drawings and samples must be processed and the times by which products requiring long delivery lead times must be procured.

4.4.3 The Design/Builder shall monitor the progress of the Work for conformance with the requirements of the construction schedule and shall promptly advise the Owner of any actual delays or reasonably anticipated delays. Design/Builder shall also review the construction schedule for Work not started or incomplete and recommend to the Owner adjustments in the construction schedule necessary to meet the date for Substantial Completion. In the event any progress report indicates any delays, the Design/Builder shall propose an affirmative plan to correct the delay, including overtime and/or additional labor, if necessary. In no event shall any progress report constitute an adjustment in the Contract Time or the Contract Sum unless any such adjustment is agreed to by the Owner and authorized pursuant to Change Order. The Design/Builder shall, in the event of any occurrence likely to cause a delay, cooperate in good faith with the Owner to minimize and mitigate the impact of any such occurrence and do all things reasonable under the circumstances to achieve this goal.

4.5 [continued] In any claim by Design/Builder for an excused delay, Design/Builder shall provide reasonable detail and specificity regarding each cause of delay as well as an assessment of the anticipated effect of the delay on the date for Substantial Completion of the Project. In the case of a continuing delay, Design/Builder shall file with the Owner written reports on the delay identifying the continuing cause of the delay no less than once a week during the duration of the delay. If, through no fault of Design/Builder, to the extent Owner is the cause of any delay in the progress of the Work, Owner shall be responsible for any resulting increase in Design/Builder's cost that cannot be mitigated without incurring significant expense. Owner's exercise of any of its remedies, including, without limitation, its right to suspend the Work or to require correction or re-execution of defective Work shall not constitute a delay by Owner hereunder.

5.1.1 [continued] Design/Builder hereby agrees to use AIA Document G702 and G703 for each Application for Payment, a copy of which is attached hereto at Exhibit F. Each Application for Payment shall be certified as correct by Design/Builder. As a condition to receiving payment for each Application for Payment, Design/Builder shall submit, and shall cause all the Architect, all of its other design service providers, its subcontractors, suppliers and any other person or entity that has worked on the Project or supplied materials or equipment thereto to submit to Owner partial lien waivers current to the date of the Application for which Design/Builder was paid. All partial lien waivers shall be submitted on the form appended hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit G and Exhibit G-1.

5.1.1.1 When any Application for Payment includes materials stored off the Project site or stored on the Project site but not yet incorporated in the Work, for which no previous payment has been requested, a complete description of such material shall be attached to the Application for Payment. Suitable storage which is off the Project site shall be a bonded warehouse or appropriate storage approved by Owner with the stored materials properly tagged and identifiable for this Project and properly segregated from other materials. The Owner's written approval shall be obtained before the use of offsite storage is made. Such approval may be withheld in Owner's sole reasonable discretion.

5.1.2 [continued] Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Owner shall withhold retainage equal to ten percent (10%) percent of the amount otherwise due Design/Builder hereunder for the cost of the Work (which necessarily excludes amounts paid for design of the Project) until the Design Builder achieves Final Completion of the Project to protect Owner against Design/Builder's breach of this Agreement. Owner, in its sole discretion, may release retainage that corresponds to issuance of a passing validation study for certain systems. Notwithstanding the aforestated retainage amount, Owner may withhold further amounts to the extent reasonably necessary to protect Owner because of:

.1 incomplete Work for which Design/Builder seeks payment or for defective Work not remedied;

.2 third party claims;

.3 failure of Design/Builder to make payments when due to Architect, any other design service providers, contractors, subcontractors or material or equipment suppliers;

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

.5 damage to the Owner or another contractor;

.6 reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time, and that the unpaid balance would not be adequate to cover the cost to Owner of the anticipated delay; or

.7 Design/Builder's failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

The Owner shall not be deemed in default by reason of withholding payment in accordance with this Agreement. The amount withheld shall not exceed Owner's good-faith estimate of Owner's damages and potential damages. When the above reasons for withholding payment are removed, certification will be made for amounts previously withheld.

5.1.3 [continued] Each Application for Payment shall be deemed to include the following statement by Design/Builder and each of its subcontractors:

"There are no known mechanics' or materialmen's liens outstanding at the date of this requisition, that all due and payable bills with respect to the Work have been paid to date or are included in the amount requested in this current Application, and that, except for such bills not paid but so included, there is no known basis for the filing or foreclosing of any mechanics' or materialmen's liens on the Work."

Together with each Application for Payment, Design/Builder shall submit to Owner all information and materials required to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents or reasonably requested by the requirements of the Contract Documents or reasonably requested by the Owner or Lender.

5.1.4 [continued] With each Application for Payment after the first Application for Payment, the Design/Builder shall certify (i) the amount paid to it pursuant to its immediately preceding Application for Payment, (ii) the total amount received to the date of the current Application for Payment, and (iii) that the Design/Builder has used the amount received by it to pay all obligations incurred by Design/Builder then due in the performance of the Work including, but not limited to, labor, insurance, union benefits, subcontracts, materials, supplies and rentals for equipment.

5.1.6 [continued] No partial payment made hereunder shall be or be construed to be approval of that part of the Work to which such partial payment relates or to relieve Contractor of any of its obligations hereunder with respect thereto.

5.1.7 [continued] The Design/Builder warrants and agrees that title to all Work will pass to the Owner upon the later of receipt of payment therefor to the Design/Builder, free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests, or encumbrances whatsoever, or incorporation of the materials into the structure provided that the vesting of such title shall not impose any obligations on Owner or relieve Design/Builder of any of its obligations under this Part 2 Agreement, that the Design/Builder shall remain responsible for damage to or loss of the Work not caused by Owner or Owner's separate contractors, whether completed or under construction, until responsibility for the Work has been accepted by Owner in the manner set forth in the Contract Documents. Consequently, Design/Builder shall be responsible for property loss coverage for materials during transport and while stored at the Project site.

5.1.7.1 To the extent permitted by law, Design/Builder shall subordinate, and shall cause all subcontractors and material suppliers to subordinate, their respective mechanics' lien rights against the Project or any portion thereof to any mortgage of the Project, the proceeds of which are used in whole or in part to fund the Project.

5.2.2 [continued] Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, as a further condition of achieving Final Completion, neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage shall become due until the Design/Builder submits to the Owner evidence of compliance with all requirements of the Contract Documents including without limitation, all notices, certificates, affidavits and other requirements to complete obligations under the Contract Documents, including but not limited to (a) delivery of keys to Owner with keying schedule: master, sub-master and special keys, (b) delivery to Owner of all warranties, including without limitation, all manufacturer's warranties and certificates of inspections, (c) delivery to Owner of printed or typewritten operating, servicing, maintenance and cleaning instructions for all Work; parts lists and special tools for mechanical and electrical Work, in approved form, (d) delivery to the Owner of specified Project record documents, including without limitation the documents described in paragraph 3.2.15 hereof, (e) delivery to Owner of all final certificates for use and occupancy of the completed Project, and (f) all touch-up painting, delayed final finishes and punch list items shall have been completed. In addition to the foregoing, all other submissions required by other articles and paragraphs of the Contract Documents including final construction schedule and a complete, notarized lien waiver or release from Design/Builder (on the form attached at Exhibit I hereto) and all contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers with whom Design/Builder has immediate privity (on the form attached at Exhibit H hereto) shall be submitted to the Owner before approval of final payment.

6.3.1 The Design/Builder shall erect and maintain, as required by existing conditions and performance of the Part 2 Agreement, reasonable safeguards for safety and protection, including posting danger signs and other warnings against hazards, promulgating safety regulations and notifying owners and users of adjacent sites and utilities.

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

7.1.2 [continued] Prior to commencement of the Work, Design/Builder shall submit certificate(s) of insurance from an insurance company licensed to do business in the State where the Project is located and having a rating of no less than Financial Class VIII and Policy Holder Rating "A" in the most current edition of Best's Insurance Code to the Owner evidencing the insurance coverages and limits Design/Builder is required to carry hereunder. Design/Builder shall cause its insurer to name Simulaids, Inc., the Aristotle Corporation, Nasco Holdings, Inc., Geneve Corporation and Geneve Holdings, Inc. and Ulster County Industrial Development Authority as "additional insureds" and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company "as its interests may appear" on its commercial general liability policies and on its umbrella policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner shall not be named as an "additional insured" on the Worker's Compensation Insurance and the Architect's and engineer's professional liability insurance. Said certificate shall evidence that the insurance coverages set forth below are in effect and inclusive dates of coverage. Design/Builder represents the Design/Builder is current in the payment of the premiums for all such policies. In addition, all coverages shall remain in effect, and the premiums for same shall be paid when due, until actual Project completion, or later as

specified in the Part 2 Agreement. In addition, such certificate(s) shall provide that any cancellation of coverage or any change adversely affecting the coverages required hereunder shall not be valid as respects the Owner or other parties named as additional insureds until the Owner and the other additional insureds receive thirty (30) days written notice of such cancellation or change. Design/Builder will deliver true and complete copies of the policies evidencing the insurance the Design/Builder is required to carry hereunder upon Owner's request. Design/Builder without reimbursement from Owner, hereby agrees to be responsible for any deductible payable in connection with its insurance in the event of a claim and such certificates required hereunder shall disclose any deductibles and self-insured retention.

7.1.2.1. Design/Builder shall evidence and maintain at all times while performing Work hereunder, the identical coverages as set forth below:

.1 Worker's Compensation Insurance on a statutory basis including Occupational Diseases and Employer's Liability coverages.

All insurance policies maintained by Design /Builder as provided herein shall contain an agreement by the insurer waiving the insurer's right of subrogation against Owner.

7.1.2.3 [continued] Design/Builder hereby agrees that all Subcontractors who work on the Project shall carry the same coverages required of Design/Builder hereunder with limits appropriate to the nature and scope of the particular Subcontractor's Work, unless Owner agrees to the contrary in writing.

7.1.3 [continued] Upon mutual agreement and reimbursement by Owner to Design/Builder of additional cost, the Owner may revise the types and limits of insurance at any time during the period of the Agreement upon written notice to Design/Builder. Design/Builder shall provide Owner with renewal replacement certificates evidencing continuing coverage as herein required at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of all such insurance policies required hereunder. Owner's review of any insurance certificates shall not excuse Design/Builder from carrying coverages or amounts of insurance required hereunder that are not recited on the said certificate.

7.1.4 Design/Builder, its contractors and/or its subcontractors shall be solely responsible for any loss or damage: (i) to the Work prior to Substantial Completion except to the extent caused by Owner or its separate contractors, such cost to Design/Builder may be offset by available insurance proceeds; and (ii) to their respective tools, equipment or material, whether owned or leased that are not to become a part of the completed Project.

7.5 Design/Builder shall cause the Architect, all engineers, except for the Civil Engineer and Soil Engineer, and any of its other design professionals to maintain at all times during the term of this Agreement, architect's and engineer's professional liability insurance policies issued by insurance companies in good standing and licensed to do business in the State where the Project is located having a rating of not less than Financial Class VIII and Policy Holder Rating "A" in the current issue of Best's Insurance Code, and reasonably acceptable to Owner, including without limitation, coverages providing for any and all liabilities arising from design errors and omissions, negligence, and/or the rendering of, or failure to render, professional services as detailed in this Agreement, on the part of Design/Builder, the Architect, all engineers and any other design professionals as aforesaid, in amounts not less than $2,000,000 for Architect, such other commercially reasonable amounts as Owner and Design/Builder shall mutually agree with respect to other licensed design professionals supplying the design for this Project. Design/Builder at its expense shall obtain a contingent professional liability insurance policy in an amount not less than $2,000,000 per project or annual aggregate if the subcontractors assisting on the design are not already carrying $2,000,000 in professional liability insurance including coverage for design errors and omissions.

8.2.1.4 Design/Builder's fee in connection with a Change Order requested by Owner or a Change Order for an excused delay shall be five (5%) percent of the cost of the labor and materials included in the Change Order and Design/Builder shall be entitled to general conditions actually incurred not to exceed five (5%) percent of the cost of the labor and materials included in the Change Order and the actual costs incurred for reimbursable expenses. Any subcontractor's fee on a Change Order shall not exceed ten (10%) percent of the cost of such subcontractor's labor and materials included in the Change Order.

9.2 [continued] All warranties shall include labor and materials and shall be issued by the Design/Builder. All warranties, including without limitation, manufacturing warranties, shall be delivered to the Owner upon completion of the Work and before or with the submission of request for final payment.

9.2.1 Upon completion of any Work under or pursuant to paragraph 9.2, the one (1) year correction period in connection with the Work requiring correction shall be renewed and recommence only with regard to the Work that has been corrected or repaired up to a maximum period of twenty-four (24) months following Substantial Completion of the entire Project.

10.1 [continued] Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to a breach of this Agreement shall be decided by arbitration in accordance with the then current Expedited Procedures of the Construction Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (hereinafter referred to as the "AAA Rules"), except as noted below and unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. No such arbitration shall excuse performance of any obligation hereunder. Each party hereto agrees that it will faithfully observe this agreement to arbitrate and the AAA Rules as modified hereby and to abide by and perform any award rendered by the arbitrators, and that a judgment of any court having jurisdiction may be entered on the award. The AAA Rules are modified as follows:

(a) Section R-8(b) is deleted.

(b) Section R-11 is deleted and replaced with the following: "The parties agree to hold the arbitration in Saugerties, New York, or elsewhere in the County of Ulster, New York;

(e) Section F-3 is hereby deleted.

(f) The time period of 30 days in Section F-9 is hereby amended to be 45 days.

10.1.1 In the event of a monetary dispute between Design/Builder and any subcontractor or supplier, Design/Builder agrees promptly to give notice of same to Owner and to furnish such information and substantiation as Owner may reasonably require with respect to the nature and extent of such dispute or claim including all payments made and the amounts remaining unpaid to whom and the reasons therefor. Design/Builder, at Design/Builder's sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for resolving any such dispute.

10.1.2 Design/Builder agrees that if any subcontractor holding a subcontract or any materialman supplying materials to the Design/Builder or any one claiming by or through such Design/Builder shall cause to be filed any lien, that Design/Builder will, within thirty (30) days after notice from Owner, cause such lien to be cancelled and discharged by bond or otherwise, provided such lien has not resulted from Owner's breach of this contract. If such lien is not so cancelled and discharged, the Owner shall, in addition to all other rights and remedies, have the right to cause such lien to be cancelled and discharged, and in such event, provided such lien has not resulted from Owner's breach of this contract, any reasonable expense so incurred by Owner, including the premium upon any bond furnished for such cancellation and discharge and reasonable attorneys fee, shall be paid by the Design/Builder upon demand from Owner or at the option of the Owner shall be deducted from any payment then due or thereafter becoming due to Design/Builder from the Owner.

10.6 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Design/Builder shall continue to provide services in accordance with Exhibit E attached hereto and shall maintain progress during any arbitration proceedings, provided such continuation by Design/Builder will not exacerbate the claim that is the subject of the pending arbitration, and the Owner shall continue to make payments to the Design/Builder in accordance with Articles 5 and 9, but the Owner shall be under no obligation to make payments on or against any claims or amounts in dispute during any arbitration proceeding to resolve those claims or amounts in dispute.

10.7 This Article 10 shall survive completion or termination of this Part 2 Agreement.

11.1 [continued] Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under the laws of the State of New York. If, however, any provision of this Agreement, or portion thereof, is prohibited by law or found invalid under any law, only such provision or portion thereof shall be ineffective, without in any manner invalidating or affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement or valid portions of such provision, which are hereby deemed severable.

11.2.2 Subject to the provisions of Section 1.2.3 herein, any specific requirement in this Part 2 Agreement that the responsibilities or obligations of the Design/Builder also apply to its subcontractors is added for emphasis. The term, "subcontractor" as used herein, shall include any of Design/Builder's contractors and suppliers and shall also be deemed to include subcontractors of any tier. The omission of a reference to a subcontractor in connection with any of the Design/Builder's responsibilities or obligations shall not be construed to diminish, abrogate or limit any responsibilities or obligations of a subcontractor of any tier under the Contract Documents or the applicable contract or subcontract. No mention of a subcontractor, supplier or subcontract herein, except for Owner's own forces, shall be deemed to create any privity between Owner and any contractor, subcontractor or supplier.

11.3.2 [continued] Owner's separate contractors may have access to the Project site prior to the anticipated date of Substantial Completion for the purpose of installing items prior to Substantial Completion. Prior to the anticipated date of Substantial Completion, Owner's separate contractors may have access to the Project site as early as required for the purpose of undertaking any separate work that Owner requires for the operation of its business activities in the completed Project. Owner and Design/Builder agree to cooperate in scheduling all entries and work by Owner's separate contractors. Design/Builder shall also schedule and coordinate delivery of all purchases of material and equipment by Owner's separate contractors for the Project.

11.5.3 In addition to the foregoing, Design/Builder shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Owner) the Owner and its successors, assigns and employees, from and against any and all liability, claims, losses, causes of action, damages, costs and/or expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees, whatsoever arising from: (i) negligent or willful act or omission by Design/Builder, Architect, any of Design/Builder's design service provider, any of Design/Builder's subcontractors, suppliers, consultants, or the respective agents, employees or subcontractors of any of the foregoing (each an "Indemnitor"); (ii) any unlawful conduct by an Indemnitor or failure to comply with requirements of any permit, approval or certificate required for construction of the Project; and/or (iii) any assertion of claims for mechanics' liens by an Indemnitor or any assertion of security interests by suppliers of goods or materials, except to the extent any of the foregoing results from: (a) any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct by Owner, its representatives, consultants and contractors; or (b) any unlawful conduct by Owner, its representatives, consultants and contractors. The indemnity herein contained shall be in addition to and not limited to indemnities elsewhere provided in the Contract Documents and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.5, to the extent Owner receives compensation from other sources for damage covered by Design/Builder's indemnification herein, Owner shall not seek to recover such amounts again from Design/Builder; provided, however, Owner shall not be obligated to seek compensation for any damages covered by Design/Builder's indemnification from other sources and may look solely to Design/Builder.

11.6.1 [continued] Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Owner may, without the consent of Design/Builder, collaterally assign this Agreement to Lender or any other entity providing construction financing or credit enhancement for the Project.

12.1.2 [continued] In addition to the reasons set forth in paragraph 12.1.2, Owner may terminate this Part 2 Agreement if the Design/Builder: (a) commits a material breach of any warranty made by the Design/Builder under or pursuant to the Contract Documents; or (b) is declared bankrupt, has a petition in bankruptcy filed against it, or if Design/Builder files for bankruptcy protection. Upon the termination of this Agreement through no fault of the Owner, including termination for convenience, Design/Builder shall promptly turn over to Owner all Contract Documents, including without limitation, all plans, specifications, drawings and shop drawings, which Owner shall be free to use to complete the Project.

13.1.2 [continued] Design/Builder's Architect and engineers shall be reimbursed on an hourly basis as agreed to by the parties for any design required to reflect Owner's changes to the final Construction Documents caused through no fault of Design/Builder or due to hidden conditions. Design/Builder's fee for construction supervision is covered in paragraph 8.2.1.4 hereof.

14.1.1 Design/Builder shall achieve final completion of the Project, including all Punch List items, no later than thirty (30) days following the date of Substantial Completion.

14.1.2 The Owner shall have the right to require the Design/Builder to furnish bonds covering faithful performance of the Contract and payment of obligations arising thereunder as stipulated in bidding requirements or specifically required in the Contract Documents on the date of execution of this Part 2 Agreement. Upon the request of any person or entity appearing to be a potential beneficiary of bonds covering payment of obligations arising under the Contract, the Design/Builder shall promptly furnish a copy of the bonds or shall permit a copy to be made.
