§ A.2.3 OWNER REVIEW AND INSPECTION
§ A.2.3.1 The Owner shall review and approve or take other appropriate action upon the Design-Builder’s submittals, including but not limited to design and construction documents, required by the Design-Build Documents, but only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with information given and the design concept expressed in the Design-Build Documents. The Owner’s action shall be taken with such reasonable promptness as to cause no delay in the Work or in the activities of the Design-Builder or separate contractors. Review of such submittals is not conducted for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other details, such as dimensions and quantities, or for substantiating instructions for installation or performance of equipment or systems, all of which remain the responsibility of the Design-Builder as required by the Design-Build Documents.
§ A.2.3.2 Upon review of the design documents, construction documents, or other submittals required by the Design-Build Documents, the Owner shall take one of the following actions:
  .1   Determine that the documents or submittals are in conformance with the Design-Build Documents and approve them.
 
  .2   Determine that the documents or submittals are in conformance with the Design-Build Documents but request changes in the documents or submittals which shall be implemented by a Change in the Work.
 
  .3   Determine that the documents or submittals are not in conformity with the Design-Build Documents and reject them.
 
  .4   Determine that the documents or submittals are not in conformity with the Design-Build Documents, but accept them by implementing a Change in the Work.
 
  .5   Determine that the documents or submittals are not in conformity with the Design-Build Documents, but accept them and request changes in the documents or submittals which shall be implemented by a Change in the Work.
§ A.2.3.3 The Design-Builder shall submit to the Owner for the Owner’s approval, pursuant to Section A.2.3.1, any proposed change or deviation to previously approved documents or submittals. The Owner shall review each proposed change or deviation to previously approved documents or submittals which the Design-Builder submits to the Owner for the Owner’s approval with reasonable promptness in accordance with Section A.2.3.1 and shall make one of the determinations described in Section A.2.3.2.
§ A.2.3.4 Notwithstanding the Owner’s responsibility under Section A.2.3.2, the Owner’s review and approval of the Design-Builder’s documents or submittals shall not relieve the Design-Builder of responsibility for compliance with the Design-Build Documents unless a) the Design-Builder has notified the Owner in writing of the deviation prior to approval by the Owner or, b) the Owner has approved a Change in the Work reflecting any deviations from the requirements of the Design-Build Documents. In addition, in no event shall Owner’s approval of any documents be deemed a representation that Design-Builder’s documents or submittals comply with applicable laws and regulations.
§ A.2.3.5 The Owner may visit the site to keep informed about the progress and quality of the portion of the Work completed. However, the Owner shall not be required to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work.

The Contractor shall promptly remedy damage and loss to property at the site caused in whole or in part by the Design-Builder, its Contractors, Subcontractors, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or by anyone for whose acts they may be liable, except for damage or loss attributable solely to acts or omissions of the Owner or Development Manager or by anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable and not attributable to the fault or negligence of the Design-Builder, its Contractors, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by them. The foregoing obligations of the Design-Builder are in addition to the Design-Builder’s obligations under other provisions hereunder.
§ A.3.3.11 If any of the Work is required to be inspected or approved by any public authority, the Design-Builder shall cause such inspection or approval to be performed and shall coordinate such inspections with progress of the Work as necessary to avoid delays in issuance of the final certificates of occupancy and Project Closeout (as defined in the Agreement). No inspection performed or failed to be performed by the Owner or Development Manager hereunder shall be a waiver of any of the Design-Builder’s obligations hereunder or be construed as an approval or acceptance of the Work or any part thereof.
§ A.3.3.12 The Design-Builder shall establish and maintain benchmarks and all other grades, lines and levels necessary for the Work report errors or inconsistencies to the Owner and Development Manager before commencing work. The Design-Builder shall provide access to the Work for Owner, Development Manager and other persons designated by the Owner, and governmental inspectors. Any encroachments made by the Design-Builder, Contractors or Subcontractors on adjacent properties caused by construction, except for encroachments arising from errors or omissions not reasonably discoverable by the Design-Builder in the Contract Documents, shall be the sole responsibility of the Design-Builder, and the Design-Builder shall correct such encroachments within thirty (30) days of the improvement survey (or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible), at the Design-Builder’s sole cost and expense, either by the removal of the encroachment (and subsequent reconstruction of the Project site), or agreement with Owner (in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner in its sole discretion) allowing the encroachments to remain.
§ A.3.3.13 Where the Design-Build Documents refer to particular construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures or indicate or imply that such are to be used in the Work, such mention is intended only to indicate that the operations of the Design-Builder shall be such as to produce at least the quality of Work implied by the operations described, but the actual determination of whether or not the described operations may be safely and suitably employed on the Work shall be the responsibility of the Design-Builder, who shall notify the Owner and Development Manager in writing of the actual means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures which will be employed on the Work, if these differ from those mentioned in the Design-Build Documents. All loss, damage or liability, or cost of correcting defective Work arising from the employment of any construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures referred to, indicated or implied by the Design-Build Documents, shall be borne by the Design-Builder, unless the Design-Builder has given timely notice to the Owner and Development Manager in writing that such means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures are not safe or suitable and the Design-Builder has then been instructed in writing to proceed at the Owner’s risk.
§ A.3.3.14 All Work shall be set or laid out on the premises by Design-Builder, who will be held responsible for its correctness. If there is any discrepancy between actual lines and levels in drawings, Design-Builder shall notify Owner and Development Manager in writing, describing such discrepancy, and shall not proceed with any work affected thereby until written instructions are received from the Owner.

The Design-Builder shall not cut or otherwise alter such construction by the Owner or a separate contractor except with written consent of the Owner and of such separate contractor; such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Design-Builder shall not unreasonably withhold from the Owner or a separate contractor the Design-Builder’s consent to cutting or otherwise altering the Work.
§ A.3.13.3 The Design-Builder shall locate, protect and save from injury utilities of all kinds, either above or below grade, inside or outside of any structure, found in the areas affected by its work. The Design-Builder shall be responsible for all damage caused to such utility by the operation of equipment, or delivery of materials, or as the direct or indirect result of any of its work and shall repair all such damages at its expense and as part of the work included in the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall not be entitled to any increase in the Cost of the Work or the Contract Time on account of such damage to any utility.
§ A.3.14 CLEANING UP
§ A.3.14.1 The Design-Builder shall keep the premises and surrounding area free from accumulation of waste materials or rubbish caused by operations under the Design-Build Contract.

§ A.3.16 ROYALTIES, PATENTS AND COPYRIGHTS
§ A.3.16.1 The Design-Builder shall pay all royalties and license fees. The Design-Builder shall defend suits or claims for infringement of copyrights and patent rights or other intellectual property and shall hold the Owner harmless from loss on account thereof, but shall not be responsible for such defense or loss when a particular design, process or product of a particular manufacturer or manufacturers is required or where the copyright violations are contained in drawings, specifications or other documents prepared by or furnished to the Design-Builder by the Owner. However, if the Design-Builder has reason to believe that the required design, process or product is an infringement of a copyright or a patent or other intellectual property, the Design-Builder shall be responsible for such loss unless such information is promptly furnished to the Owner.

§ A.4.1.2 Time Limits on Claims. Claims by either party must be initiated within 21 days after occurrence of the event giving rise to such Claim or within 21 days after the claimant first recognizes the condition giving rise to the Claim, whichever is later. Claims must be initiated by written notice to the other party.
§ A.4.1.3 Continuing Performance. Pending final resolution of a Claim, except as otherwise agreed in writing or as provided in Section A.9.7.1 and Article A.14, the Design-Builder shall proceed diligently with performance of the Design-Build Contract and the Owner shall continue to make payments in accordance with the Design-Build Documents.
§ A.4.1.4 Claims for Concealed or Unknown Conditions. If conditions are encountered at the site which are (1) subsurface or otherwise concealed physical conditions which differ materially from those indicated in the Design-Build 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 Design-Build Documents, then the observing party shall give notice to the other party (with copies to the Development Manager) promptly before conditions are disturbed and in no event later than 21 days after first observance of the conditions. The Owner or development manager shall promptly investigate such conditions and, if they differ materially and cause an increase or decrease in the Design-Builder’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, shall negotiate with the Design-Builder an equitable adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, or both. If the Owner determines that the conditions at the site are not materially different from those indicated in the Design-Build Documents and that no change in the terms of the Design-Build Contract is justified, the Owner or development manager shall so notify the Design-Builder in writing, stating the reasons. Claims by the Design-Builder in opposition to such determination must be made within 21 days after the Owner has given notice of the decision. If the conditions encountered are materially different, the Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be equitably adjusted, but if the Owner and Design-Builder cannot agree on an adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, the adjustment shall proceed pursuant to Section A.4.2. All claims for delay arising from such conditions shall be barred if notice is not given within such twenty one (21) day period, and a claim made within seven (7) days thereafter.
§ A.4.1.5 Claims for Additional Cost. If the Design-Builder wishes to make Claim for an increase in the Contract Sum, written notice as provided herein shall be given before proceeding to execute the Work. Prior notice is not required for Claims relating to an emergency endangering life or property arising under Section A.10.6.
§ A.4.1.6 If the Design-Builder believes additional cost is involved for reasons including but not limited to (1) an order by the Owner to stop the Work where the Design-Builder was not at fault, (2) a written order for the Work issued by the Owner, (3) failure of payment by the Owner, (4) termination of the Design-Build Contract by the Owner, (5) Owner’s suspension or (6) other reasonable grounds, Claim shall be filed in accordance with this Section A.4.1.
§ A.4.1.7 Claims for Additional Time
§ A.4.1.7.1 If the Design-Builder wishes to make Claim for an increase in the Contract Time, written notice as provided herein shall be given. The Design-Builder’s Claim shall include an estimate of the time and its effect on the progress of the Work. In the case of a continuing delay, only one Claim is necessary. Claim for delay may only be made if delay adversely affects the critical path of the Design-Builder’s schedule and adversely affects a portion of the Work that must be completed as scheduled to avoid delay to the substantial completion of the Work as a whole.
§ A.4.1.7.2 If adverse weather conditions are the basis for a Claim for additional time, such Claim shall be documented by data substantiating that weather conditions were abnormal for the period of time, could not have been reasonably anticipated and had an adverse effect on the scheduled construction.
§ A.4.1.7.3 Extensions of time will not be granted for delays caused by inadequate construction forces, or the failure of the Design-Builder to place orders for equipment or materials sufficiently in advance to ensure delivery when needed.
§ A.4.1.8 Injury or Damage to Person or Property. If either party to the Design-Build Contract suffers injury or damage to person or property because of an act or omission of the other party or of others for whose acts such party is legally responsible, written notice of such injury or damage, whether or not insured, shall be given to the other party within a reasonable time not exceeding 21 days after discovery. The notice shall provide sufficient detail to enable the other party to investigate the matter.

§ A.4.1.9 If unit prices are stated in the Design-Build Documents or subsequently agreed upon, and if quantities originally contemplated are materially changed in a proposed Change Order or Construction Change Directive so that application of such unit prices to quantities of Work proposed will cause substantial inequity to the Owner or Design-Builder, the applicable unit prices shall be equitably adjusted.
§ A.4.1.10 Claims for Consequential Damages. Design-Builder and Owner waive Claims against each other for consequential damages arising out of or relating to the Design-Build Contract. This mutual waiver includes:
  .1   damages incurred by the Owner for rental expenses, for losses of use, income, profit, financing, business and reputation, and for loss of management or employee productivity or of the services of such persons; and
 
  .2   damages incurred by the Design-Builder for principal office expenses including the compensation of personnel stationed there, for losses of financing, business and reputation, and for loss of profit except anticipated profit arising directly from the Work.
This mutual waiver is applicable, without limitation, to all consequential damages due to either party’s termination in accordance with Article A.14. Nothing contained in this Section A.4.1.10 shall be deemed to preclude an award of liquidated direct damages, when applicable, in accordance with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents.
§ A.4.1.11 If the enactment or revision of codes, laws or regulations or official interpretations which govern the Project cause an increase or decrease of the Design-Builder’s cost of, or time required for, performance of the Work, the Design-Builder shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in Contract Sum or Contract Time. If the Owner and Design-Builder cannot agree upon an adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, the Design-Builder shall submit a Claim pursuant to Section A.4.1.
§ A.4.2 RESOLUTION OF CLAIMS AND DISPUTES
§ A.4.2.1 Decision by Neutral. If the parties have identified a Neutral in Section 6.1 of the Agreement or elsewhere in the Design-Build Documents, then Claims, excluding those arising under Sections A.10.3 through A.10.5, shall be referred initially to the Neutral for decision. An initial decision by the Neutral shall be required as a condition precedent to mediation of all Claims between the Owner and Design-Builder arising prior to the date final payment is due, unless 30 days have passed after the Claim has been referred to the Neutral with no decision having been rendered by the Neutral. Unless the Neutral and all affected parties agree, the Neutral will not decide disputes between the Design-Builder and persons or entities other than the Owner.
§ A.4.2.2 Decision by Owner. If the parties have not identified a Neutral in Section 6.1 of the Agreement or elsewhere in the Design-Build Documents then, except for those claims arising under Sections A.10.3 and A.10.5, the Owner shall provide an initial decision. An initial decision by the Owner shall be required as a condition precedent to mediation of all Claims between the Owner and Design-Builder arising prior to the date final payment is due, unless 30 days have passed after the Claim has been referred to the Owner with no decision having been rendered by the Owner.
§ A.4.2.3 The initial decision pursuant to Sections A.4.2.1 and A.4.2.2 shall be in writing, shall state the reasons therefore and shall notify the parties of any change in the Contract Sum or Contract Time or both. The initial decision shall be final and binding on the parties but subject first to mediation under Section A.4.3 and thereafter to such other dispute resolution methods as provided in Section 6.2 of the Agreement or elsewhere in the Design-Build Documents.
§ A.4.2.4 In the event of a Claim against the Design-Builder, the Owner may, but is not obligated to, notify the surety, if any, of the nature and amount of the Claim. If the Claim relates to a possibility of a Design-Builder’s default, the Owner may, but is not obligated to, notify the surety and request the surety’s assistance in resolving the controversy.
§ A.4.2.5 If a Claim relates to or is the subject of a mechanic’s lien, the party asserting such Claim may proceed in accordance with applicable law to comply with the lien notice or filing deadlines prior to initial resolution of the Claim.

§ A.4.3 MEDIATION
§ A.4.3.1 Any Claim arising out of or related to the Design-Build Contract, except those waived as provided for in Sections A.4.1.10, A.9.10.4 and A.9.10.5, shall, after initial decision of the Claim or 30 days after submission of the Claim for initial decision, be subject to mediation as a condition precedent to arbitration or the institution of legal or equitable or other binding dispute resolution proceedings by either party.
§ A.4.3.2 The parties shall endeavor to resolve their Claims by mediation which, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be in accordance with the Construction Industry Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association currently in effect at the time of the mediation. Request for mediation shall be filed in writing with the other party to the Design-Build Contract and with the American Arbitration Association. The request may be made concurrently with the filing of a demand for arbitration or other binding dispute resolution proceedings but, in such event, mediation shall proceed in advance thereof or of legal or equitable proceedings, which shall be stayed pending mediation for a period of 60 days from the date of filing, unless stayed for a longer period by agreement of the parties or court order.
§ A.4.3.3 The parties shall share the mediator’s fee and any filing fees equally. The mediation shall be held in the place where the Project is located, unless another location is mutually agreed upon. Agreements reached in mediation shall be enforceable as settlement agreements in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
§ A.4.4 ARBITRATION
§ A.4.4.1 Claims, except those waived as provided for in Sections A.4.1.10, A.9.10.4 and A.9.10.5, for which initial decisions have not become final and binding, and which have not been resolved by mediation but which are subject to arbitration pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.3 of the Agreement or elsewhere in the Design-Build Documents, shall be decided by arbitration which, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be in accordance with the Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association currently in effect at the time of the arbitration. The demand for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other party to the Design-Build Contract and with the American Arbitration Association. The parties agree that any award issued by the American Arbitration Association shall be a reasoned award and provide, in writing, an explanation of any finding and rulings contained in the award.
§ A.4.4.2 A demand for arbitration may be made no earlier than concurrently with the filing of a request for mediation, but in no event shall it be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such Claim would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations as determined pursuant to Section A.13.6.
§ A.4.4.3 An arbitration pursuant to this Section A.4.4 may be joined with an arbitration involving common issues of law or fact between the Owner or Design-Builder and any person or entity with whom the Owner or Design-Builder has a contractual obligation to arbitrate disputes which does not prohibit consolidation or joinder. No other arbitration arising out of or relating to the Design-Build Contract shall include, by consolidation, joinder or in any other manner, an additional person or entity not a party to the Design-Build Contract or not a party to an agreement with the Owner or Design-Builder, except by written consent containing a specific reference to the Design-Build Contract signed by the Owner and Design-Builder and any other person or entities sought to be joined. Consent to arbitration involving an additional person or entity shall not constitute consent to arbitration of any claim, dispute or other matter in question not described in the written consent or with a person or entity not named or described therein. The foregoing agreement to arbitrate and other agreements to arbitrate with an additional person or entity duly consented to by the parties to the Agreement shall be specifically enforceable in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Design-Builder shall include an arbitration provision in all contracts it enters into with Contractors.
§ A.4.4.4 Claims and Timely Assertion of Claims. The party filing a notice of demand for arbitration must assert in the demand all Claims then known to that party on which arbitration is permitted to be demanded.
§ A.4.4.5 Judgment on Final Award. The award rendered by the arbitrator or arbitrators shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

ARTICLE A.5 AWARD OF CONTRACTS
§ A.5.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Design-Build Documents or the bidding or proposal requirements, the Design-Builder, as soon as practicable after award of the Design-Build Contract, shall furnish in writing to the Owner the names of additional persons or entities not originally included in the Design-Builder’s proposal or in substitution of a person or entity (including those who are to furnish design services or materials or equipment fabricated to a special design) proposed for each principal portion of the Work. The Owner will promptly reply to the Design-Builder in writing stating whether or not the Owner has reasonable objection to any such proposed additional person or entity. Failure of the Owner to reply promptly shall constitute notice of no reasonable objection. The Owner shall have the right to investigate any proposed Contractor or material supplier, but shall have no duty to do so.
§ A.5.2 The Design-Builder shall not contract with a proposed person or entity to whom which the Owner has made reasonable and timely objection. The Design-Builder shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom the Design-Builder has made reasonable objection.
§ A.5.3 If the Owner (in consultation with Development Manager) has reasonable objection to a person or entity proposed by the Design-Builder, the Design-Builder shall propose another to whom the Owner has no reasonable objection. If the proposed but rejected additional person or entity was reasonably capable of performing the Work, the Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be increased or decreased by the difference, if any, occasioned by such change, and an appropriate Change Order shall be issued before commencement of the substitute person’s or entity’s Work. However, no increase in the Contract Sum or Contract Time shall be allowed for such change unless the Design-Builder has acted promptly and responsively in submitting names as required.
§ A.5.4 The Design-Builder shall not change a person or entity previously selected if the Owner makes reasonable objection to such substitute.
§ A.5.5 CONTINGENT ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACTS
§ A.5.5.1 Each agreement for a portion of the Work is assigned by the Design-Builder to the Owner provided that:
  .1   assignment is effective only after termination of the Design-Build Contract by the Owner for cause pursuant to Section A.14.2 and only for those agreements which the Owner accepts by notifying the contractor in writing; and
 
  .2   assignment is subject to the prior rights of the surety, if any, obligated under bond relating to the Design-Build Contract.
§ A.5.5.2 Upon such assignment, if the Work has been suspended for more than 30 days, the Contractor’s compensation shall be equitably adjusted for increases in cost resulting from the suspension.
ARTICLE A.6 CONSTRUCTION BY OWNER OR BY SEPARATE CONTRACTORS

§ A.6.1 OWNER’S RIGHT TO PERFORM CONSTRUCTION AND TO AWARD SEPARATE CONTRACTS
§ A.6.1.1 The Owner reserves the right to perform construction or operations related to the Project with the Owner’s own forces and to award separate contracts in connection with other portions of the Project or other construction or operations on the site. The Design-Builder shall cooperate with the Owner and separate contractors whose work might interfere with the Design-Builder’s Work. If the Design-Builder claims that delay or additional cost is involved because of such action by the Owner, the Design-Builder shall make such Claim as provided in Section A.4.1.
§ A.6.1.2 The term “separate contractor” shall mean any contractor retained by the Owner pursuant to Section A.6.1.1.
§ A.6.1.3 The Owner shall provide for coordination of the activities of the Owner’s own forces and of each separate contractor with the work of the Design-Builder, who shall cooperate with them. The Design-Builder shall participate with other separate contractors and the Owner in reviewing their construction schedules when directed to do so. The Design-Builder shall make any revisions to the construction schedule deemed necessary after a joint review and mutual agreement. The construction schedules shall then constitute the schedules to be used by the Design-Builder, separate contractors and the Owner until subsequently revised.

§ A.6.2 MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY
§ A.6.2.1 The Design-Builder shall afford the Owner and separate contractors reasonable opportunity for introduction and storage of their materials and equipment and performance of their activities and shall connect and coordinate the Design-Builder’s construction and operations with theirs as required by the Design-Build Documents.
§ A.6.2.2 If part of the Design-Builder’s Work depends for proper execution or results upon design, construction or operations by the Owner or a separate contractor, the Design-Builder shall, prior to proceeding with that portion of the Work, promptly report to the Owner apparent discrepancies or defects in such other construction that would render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Failure of the Design-Builder so to report shall constitute an acknowledgment that the Owner’s or separate contractor’s completed or partially completed construction is fit and proper to receive the Design-Builder’s Work, except as to defects not then reasonably discoverable.
§ A.6.2.3 The Owner shall be reimbursed by the Design-Builder for costs incurred by the Owner which are payable to a separate contractor because of delays, improperly timed activities or defective construction of the Design-Builder. The Owner shall be responsible to the Design-Builder for costs incurred by the Design-Builder because of delays, improperly timed activities, damage to the Work or defective construction of a separate contractor.
§ A.6.2.4 The Design-Builder shall promptly remedy damage wrongfully caused by the Design-Builder to completed or partially completed construction or to property of the Owner or separate contractors.
§ A.6.2.5 The Owner and each separate contractor shall have the same responsibilities for cutting and patching as are described in Section A.3.13.
§ A.6.3 OWNER’S RIGHT TO CLEAN UP
§ A.6.3.1 If a dispute arises among the Design-Builder, separate contractors and the Owner as to the responsibility under their respective contracts for maintaining the premises and surrounding area free from waste materials and rubbish, the Owner may clean up and the Owner shall allocate the cost among those responsible.
ARTICLE A.7 CHANGES IN THE WORK

§ A.7.1 GENERAL
§ A.7.1.1 Changes in the Work may be accomplished after execution of the Design-Build Contract, and without invalidating the Design-Build Contract, by Change Order or Construction Change Directive, subject to the limitations stated in this Article A.7 and elsewhere in the Design-Build Documents. All requests by Design-Builder for a Change Order shall be made to both Owner and Development Manager, so that Development Manager can advise Owner about the proposed Change Order.
§ A.7.1.2 A Change Order shall be based upon agreement between the Owner and Design-Builder. A Construction Change Directive may be issued by the Owner with or without agreement by the Design-Builder.
§ A.7.1.3 Changes in the Work shall be performed under applicable provisions of the Design-Build Documents, and the Design-Builder shall proceed promptly, unless otherwise provided in the Change Order or Construction Change Directive.
§ A.7.2 CHANGE ORDERS
§ A.7.2.1 A Change Order is a written instrument signed by the Owner and 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.
§ A.7.2.2 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 Design-Build Documents.
§ A.7.2.3 Methods used in determining adjustments to the Contract Sum shall include those listed in Section A.7.3.3.

§ A.7.3 CONSTRUCTION CHANGE DIRECTIVES
§ A.7.3.1 A Construction Change Directive is a written order 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. The Owner may by Construction Change Directive, without invalidating the Design-Build Contract, order changes in the Work within the general scope of the Design-Build Documents consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, the Contract Sum and Contract Time being adjusted accordingly.
§ A.7.3.2 A Construction Change Directive shall be used in the absence of total agreement on the terms of a Change Order.
§ A.7.3.3 If the Construction Change Directive provides for an adjustment to the Contract Sum, the adjustment shall be based on one of the following methods:
  .1   mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation;
 
  .2   unit prices stated in the Design-Build Documents or subsequently agreed upon, or equitably adjusted as provided in Section A.4.1.9;
 
  .3   cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by the parties and a mutually acceptable fixed or percentage fee; or
 
  .4   as provided in Section A.7.3.6.
§ A.7.3.4 Upon receipt of a Construction Change Directive, the Design-Builder shall promptly proceed with the change in the Work involved and advise the Owner of the Design-Builder’s agreement or disagreement with the method, if any, provided in the Construction Change Directive for determining the proposed adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time.
§ A.7.3.5 A Construction Change Directive signed by the Design-Builder indicates the agreement of the Design-Builder therewith, including adjustment in Contract Sum and Contract Time or the method for determining them. Such agreement shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded as a Change Order.
§ A.7.3.6 If the Design-Builder does not respond promptly or disagrees with the method for adjustment in the Contract Sum, the method and the adjustment shall be determined by the Owner on the basis of reasonable expenditures and savings of those performing the Work attributable to the change, including, in case of an increase in the Contract Sum, a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit. In such case, and also under Section A.7.3.3.3, the Design-Builder shall keep and present, in such form as the Owner may prescribe, an itemized accounting together with appropriate supporting data. Unless otherwise provided in the Design-Build Documents, costs for the purposes of this Section A.7.3.6 shall be limited to the following:
  .1   additional costs of professional services;
 
  .2   costs of labor, including social security, old age and unemployment insurance, fringe benefits required by agreement or custom, and workers’ compensation insurance;
 
  .3   costs of materials, supplies and equipment, including cost of transportation, whether incorporated or consumed;
 
  .4   rental costs of machinery and equipment, exclusive of hand tools, whether rented from the Design-Builder or others;
 
  .5   costs of premiums for all bonds and insurance, permit fees, and sales, use or similar taxes related to the Work; and
 
  .6   additional costs of supervision and field office personnel directly attributable to the change.
§ A.7.3.7 The amount of credit to be allowed by the Design-Builder to the Owner for a deletion or change that results in a net decrease in the Contract Sum shall 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 net increase, if any, with respect to that change.
§ A.7.3.8 Pending final determination of the total cost of a Construction Change Directive to the Owner, amounts not in dispute for such changes in the Work shall be included in Applications for Payment accompanied by a Change Order indicating the parties’ agreement with part or all of such costs. For any portion of such cost that remains in dispute, the Owner shall make an interim determination for purposes of monthly payment for those costs. That determination of cost shall adjust the Contract Sum on the same basis as a Change Order, subject to the right of the Design-Builder to disagree and assert a Claim in accordance with Article A.4.

§ A.7.3.9 When the Owner and Design-Builder reach agreement concerning the adjustments in the Contract Sum and Contract Time, or otherwise reach agreement upon the adjustments, such agreement shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded by preparation and execution of an appropriate Change Order.
§ A.7.4 MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK
§ A.7.4.1 The Owner shall have authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving adjustment in the Contract Sum or extension of the Contract Time and not inconsistent with the intent of the Design-Build Documents. Such changes shall be effected by written order and shall be binding on the Design-Builder. The Design-Builder shall carry out such written orders promptly.
§ A,7.5 CHANGE ORDER REQUESTS
§ A.7.5.1 Owner may propose Changes in the Work by issuing supplementary instructions to the Design-Builder describing the Change and requesting from the Design-Builder the submission of a Change Order Request. Where time does not permit the processing of a Change Order prior to commencing the Work, Design-Builder shall, upon written order from the Owner, proceed with the Work while concurrently proceeding with preparation and submission of a Change Order Request.
§ A.7.5.2 Within five (5) days of receipt of supplemental instructions or a written order to proceed with a Change in the Work, Design-Builder shall provide to the Owner a preliminary estimate of any change in the Contract Sum or Contract Time for such Change in the Work. In no more than fifteen (15) days thereafter, Design-Builder shall submit a Change Order Request to the Owner indicating the requested adjustment in the Contract Sum and Contract Time, if any, justified with an itemization of all costs of labor, materials, supplies, equipment and reasonable overhead and profit. Any request for an extension of time shall be justified by reference to the then current construction schedule. If no Change Order Request is submitted by Design-Builder within twenty (20) days of the initial Owner request therefore, and the Design-Builder does not submit such Change Order Request within five (5) days after written notice from the Owner to the Design-Builder following the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, it shall be conclusively presumed that the Change proposed in the supplementary instructions to the Design-Builder will not result in an increase in the Contract Sum or in the Contract Time and that the Design-Builder will perform the Work without any such increases. If Design-Builder is unable to submit the above information within the specified time limit, it shall notify the Owner in writing, setting forth for approval a date by which it will submit the information as well as a schedule for the performance of the Work.
§ A.7.5.3 Upon Owner’s acceptance of a Change Order Request, the Design-Builder shall prepare a Change Order for execution by the Owner and the Design-Builder adjusting the Contract Sum and Contract Time.
§ A.7.5.4 In the event that the Owner and Design-Builder do not agree on an adjustment in the Contract Sum or a change in the Contract Time, Design-Builder shall perform such work and the adjustment to the Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be submitted to arbitration unless such Change has been authorized by a Change Order executed in accordance with the Contract Documents.
§ A.7.5.5 No changes in the Work shall be the basis of an addition to the Contract Sum or a change in the Contract Time unless such Change has been authorized by a Change Order executed in accordance with the Contract Documents.
ARTICLE A.8 TIME

§ A.8.1 DEFINITIONS
§ A.8.1.1 Unless otherwise provided, Contract Time is the period of time, including authorized adjustments, allotted in the Design-Build Documents for Substantial Completion of the Work.
§ A.8.1.2 The date of commencement of the Work shall be the date stated in the Agreement unless provision is made for the date to be fixed in a notice to proceed issued by the Owner.
§ A.8.1.3 The date of Substantial Completion is the date determined by the Owner in accordance with Section A.9.8.

§ A.8.1.4 The term “day” as used in the Design-Build Documents shall mean calendar day unless otherwise specifically defined.
§ A.8.2 PROGRESS AND COMPLETION
§ A.8.2.1 Time limits stated in the Design-Build Documents are of the essence of the Design-Build Contract. By executing the Design-Build Contract, the Design-Builder confirms that the Contract Time is a reasonable period for performing the Work.
§ A.8.2.2 The Design-Builder shall not knowingly, except by agreement or instruction of the Owner in writing, prematurely commence construction operations on the site or elsewhere prior to the effective date of insurance required by Article A.11 to be furnished by the Design-Builder and Owner. The date of commencement of the Work shall not be changed by the effective date of such insurance. Unless the date of commencement is established by the Design-Build Documents or a notice to proceed given by the Owner, the Design-Builder shall notify the Owner in writing not less than five days or other agreed period before commencing the Work to permit the timely filing of mortgages, mechanic’s liens and other security interests.
§ A.8.2.3 The Design-Builder shall proceed expeditiously with adequate forces and shall achieve Substantial Completion within the Contract Time.
§ A.8.3 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME
§ A.8.3.1 If the Design-Builder is delayed at any time in the commencement or progress of the Work by an act or neglect of the Owner or of a separate contractor employed by the Owner, or by changes ordered in the Work, or by labor disputes, fire, unusual delay in deliveries, unavoidable casualties or other causes beyond the Design-Builder’s control, or by delay authorized by the Owner pending resolution of disputes pursuant to the Design-Build Documents, or by other causes which the Owner determines may justify delay (collectively, “Force Majeure”), then the Contract Time shall be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as the Owner may determine. Contractor shall give written notice of any such delay to Owner and Development Manager within five (5) business days of Contractor’s knowledge of the occurrence of such event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section A.8.3.1, Force Majeure shall not excuse (i) Design-Builder’s failure to the extent the event of Force Majeure in question was caused by the negligent or intentional act or failure to act in violation of a contractual duty under this Agreement by Design-Builder; (ii) any material, equipment, or labor shortage that could have been reasonably anticipated, or (iii) a delay that could have been limited or avoided by timely notice to Owner and Development Manager of the delay. Each Major Contract (as defined below) shall provide that the Major Contractor has confirmed, to the best of its knowledge, that there are no material, equipment or labor shortages that will prevent its timely performance under the Major Contract. To the extent such Major Contractor cannot so confirm, Design-Builder shall notify Owner and Development Manager. “Major Contract” shall be defined as a contract for portions of the Work valued in excess of **.
§ A.8.3.2 Claims relating to time shall be made in accordance with applicable provisions of Section A.4.1.7.
§ A.8.3.3 This Section A.8.3 does not preclude recovery of damages for delay by either party under other provisions of the Design-Build Documents.
§ A.8.3.4 In the event of any delay in the process of the Work, the Design-Builder shall promptly update all construction schedules and schedules of values.
ARTICLE A.9 PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION

§ A.9.1 CONTRACT SUM
§ A.9.1.1 The Contract Sum is stated in the Design-Build Documents and, including authorized adjustments, is the total amount payable by the Owner to the Design-Builder for performance of the Work under the Design-Build Documents.
§ A.9.2 SCHEDULE OF VALUES
§ A.9.2.1 Before the first Application for Payment, where the Contract Sum is based upon a Stipulated Sum or the Cost of the Work plus Contractor’s Fee with a Guaranteed Maximum Price, the Design-Builder shall submit to the Owner an initial schedule of values allocated to various portions of the Work prepared in such form and supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as the Owner may require. This schedule, unless objected to by the Owner, shall be used as a basis for reviewing the Design-Builder’s Applications for Payment. The schedule of values may be updated periodically to reflect changes in the allocation of the Contract Sum.

§ A.9.3.1 In accordance with Section 5.1., the Design-Builder shall submit to the Owner an itemized Application for Payment for operations completed in accordance with the current schedule of values. Such application shall be notarized, if required, and supported by such data substantiating the Design-Builder’s right to payment as the Owner may require, such as copies of requisitions from Contractors and material suppliers, and reflecting retainage if provided for in the Design-Build Documents:
§ A.9.3.1.1 As provided in Section A.7.3.8, such applications may include requests for payment on account of Changes in the Work which have been properly authorized by Construction Change Directives but are not yet included in Change Orders.
§ A.9.3.1.2 Such applications may not include requests for payment for portions of the Work for which the Design-Builder does not intend to pay to a Contractor or material supplier or other parties providing services for the Design-Builder, unless such Work has been performed by others whom the Design-Builder intends to pay.
§ A.9.3.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Design-Build Documents, payments shall be made on account of materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent incorporation in the Work. If approved in advance by the Owner, payment may similarly be made for materials and equipment suitably stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing. Payment for materials and equipment stored on or off the site shall be conditioned upon compliance by the Design-Builder with procedures satisfactory to the Owner to establish the Owner’s title to such materials and equipment or otherwise protect the Owner’s interest and shall include the costs of applicable insurance, storage and transportation to the site for such materials and equipment stored off the site.
§ A.9.3.3 The Design-Builder warrants that title to all Work other than Instruments of Service covered by an Application for Payment will pass to the Owner no later than the time of payment. The Design-Builder further warrants that, upon submittal of an Application for Payment, all Work for which Certificates for Payment have been previously issued and payments received from the Owner shall, to the best of the Design-Builder’s knowledge, information and belief, be free and clear of liens, Claims, security interests or encumbrances in favor of the Design-Builder, Contractors, Subcontractors, material suppliers, or other persons or entities making a claim by reason of having provided labor, materials and equipment relating to the Work. The filing by any person or entity of a notice of mechanic’s lien against the Project with respect to Work as to which the Owner has previously paid the Design-Builder (less any retainage or permitted offset) shall constitute a default if not bonded off, discharged or recorded, or satisfied within thirty (30) days after the Owner notifies the Design-Builder thereof. In the event of such a default, the Owner, without prejudice to any other right or remedy, shall have the right but not the obligation to pay, settle, or compromise such lien as it deems appropriate, and the Owner shall have no liability to the Design-Builder in respect of such payment, settlement, or compromise, and shall have the right to offset the cost thereof (including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs) against the next payment to the Design-Builder.
§ A.9.3.4 Prior to each Application for Payment and as a condition to submission thereof, the Design-Builder shall submit to the Development Manager for review accurate and legible working copies of up-to-date record drawings of the Work, reflecting all changes in the Work effected in construction to date. Prior to final completion, working drawings maintained in an orderly fashion at the site office may be used for such purpose. A final, fully consolidated set of sepias shall be submitted as a condition to final completion. The Design-Builder shall make such drawings available to the Owner for duplication during the progress of the Work and when reasonably requested by the Owner.
§ A.9.4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT
§ A.9.4.1 The Owner shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Design-Builder’s Application for Payment, issue to the Design-Builder a written acknowledgement of receipt of the Design-Builder’s Application for Payment indicating the amount the Owner has determined to be properly due and, if applicable, the reasons for withholding payment in whole or in part.

§ A.9.5 DECISIONS TO WITHHOLD PAYMENT
§ A.9.5.1 The Owner may withhold a payment in whole or in part to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the Owner due to the Owner’s determination that the Work has not progressed to the point indicated in the Application for Payment or that the quality of Work is not in accordance with the Design-Build Documents. The Owner may also withhold a payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence, may nullify the whole or a part of an Application for Payment previously issued to such extent as may be necessary to protect the Owner from loss for which the Design-Builder is responsible, including loss resulting from acts and omissions, because of the following:
  .1   defective Work not remedied;
 
  .2   third-party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims unless security acceptable to the Owner is provided by the Design-Builder;
 
  .3   failure of the Design-Builder to make payments properly to Contractors or for design services labor, materials or equipment;
 
  .4   reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum;
 
  .5   damage to the Owner or a separate 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 actual or liquidated damages for the anticipated delay; or
 
  .7   persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Design-Build Documents.
 
  .8   rejection of the Work or any material part of the Work by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Project.
§ A.9.5.2 When the above reasons for withholding payment are removed, payment will be made for amounts previously withheld.
§ A.9.6 PROGRESS PAYMENTS
§ A.9.6.1 After the Owner has issued a written acknowledgement of receipt of the Design-Builder’s Application for Payment, the Owner shall make payment of the amount, in the manner and within the time provided in the Design-Build Documents. The Owner may refuse to make payment in whole or in part on any Certificate for Payment to the extent necessary in Development Manager’s judgment to correct or protect against any default of the Contractor, including but not limited to, those defaults set forth in Clauses 9.5.1.1 through 9.5.1.8. The Owner shall not be deemed in default by reasons of withholding payment of any amount which is up to two (2) times the amount which the Development Manager estimates to be necessary to protect against and correct any such default while such default remains uncured.
§ A.9.6.2 The Design-Builder shall promptly pay the Architect, each design professional and other consultants retained directly by the Design-Builder, upon receipt of payment from the Owner, out of the amount paid to the Design-Builder on account of each such party’s respective portion of the Work, the amount to which each such party is entitled.
§ A.9.6.3 The Design-Builder shall promptly pay each Contractor, upon receipt of payment from the Owner, out of the amount paid to the Design-Builder on account of such Contractor’s portion of the Work, the amount to which said Contractor is entitled, reflecting percentages actually retained from payments to the Design-Builder on account of the Contractor’s portion of the Work. The Design-Builder shall, by appropriate agreement with each Contractor, require each Contractor to make payments to Subcontractors in a similar manner.
§ A.9.6.4 The Owner shall have no obligation to pay or to see to the payment of money to a Contractor except as may otherwise be required by law.
§ A.9.6.5 Payment to material suppliers shall be treated in a manner similar to that provided in Sections A.9.6.3 and A.9.6.4.
§ A.9.6.6 A progress payment, or partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the Owner, shall not constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Design-Build Documents.

§ A.9.6.7 Unless the Design-Builder provides the Owner with a payment bond in the full penal sum of the Contract Sum, payments received by the Design-Builder for Work properly performed by Contractors and suppliers shall be held by the Design-Builder for those Contractors or suppliers who performed Work or furnished materials, or both, under contract with the Design-Builder for which payment was made by the Owner. Nothing contained herein shall require money to be placed in a separate account and not be commingled with money of the Design-Builder, shall create any fiduciary liability or tort liability on the part of the Design-Builder for breach of trust or shall entitle any person or entity to an award of punitive damages against the Design-Builder for breach of the requirements of this provision.
§ A.9.7 FAILURE OF PAYMENT
§ A.9.7.1 If for reasons other than those enumerated in Section A.9.5.1, the Owner does not issue a payment within the time period required by Section 5.1.3 of the Agreement, then the Design-Builder may, upon seven additional days’ written notice to the Owner, stop the Work until payment of the amount owing has been received. The Contract Time shall be extended appropriately and the Contract Sum shall be increased by the amount of the Design-Builder’s reasonable costs of shutdown, delay and start-up, plus interest as provided for in the Design-Build Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Design-Builder may not stop the Work or make any claim as a result of any payment or portion thereof being properly withheld in accordance with Subparagraph 9.5.1 or Subparagraph 9.6.1. If the Design-Builder does order the Work stopped, or if the Work is stopped in whole or in part as a result of any payment or portion thereof being properly withheld, the Design-Builder shall be liable for any damages from delay or otherwise that arise because of such stoppage.
§ A.9.8 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
§ A.9.8.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or designated portion thereof is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Design-Build Documents and all final inspections have been passed successfully and all permits (including issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy for such work) have been obtained, so that the Owner can occupy or use the Work or a portion thereof for its intended use. The following shall also be required as a condition to Substantial Completion: (i) all extra or stock items have been received by the Owner checked against the Design-Builder’s inventory, and stored in good condition in the on-site locations designated by the Owner, (ii) final readings have been take of all utility meters used for construction purposes, and all utility charges have been paid in full, (iii) all necessary instruction and training has been provided to the Owner’s personnel, as required by the Contract Documents, (iv) the Owner and the Design-Builder have agreed on all punch list items and the aggregate value thereof, (v) all warranties, operation manuals, material data sheets, and similar documents have been organized, indexed and delivered to the Owner, (vi) all project systems included in the Work are operational as designed, scheduled and commissioned, (vii) the only remaining Work shall be minor in nature so that (1) the building could be occupied without material inconvenience (affecting the Owner’s ability to use the buildings for its intended purposes), on that date; (2) the incomplete Work would not materially detract from the appearance of the Project as a completed facility; and (3) substantially all of the punchlist Work (excepting only items which due to season or their nature cannot be completed within such sixty (60) day period) can be completed within sixty (60) consecutive calendar days following the date of Substantial Completion, and (viii) final, fully consolidated, accurate and legible record drawings of the work on sepias.
§ A.9.8.2 When the Design-Builder considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete, the Design-Builder shall prepare and submit to the Owner a comprehensive list of items to be completed or corrected prior to final payment. Failure to include an item on such list does not alter the responsibility of the Design-Builder to complete all Work in accordance with the Design-Build Documents.
§ A.9.8.3 Upon receipt of the Design-Builder’s list, the Owner shall make an inspection to determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the Owner’s inspection discloses any item, whether or not included on the Design-Builder’s list, which is not substantially complete, the Design-Builder shall complete or correct such item. In such case, the Design-Builder shall then submit a request for another inspection by the Owner to determine whether the Design-Builder’s Work is substantially complete.
§ A.9.8.4 In the event of a dispute regarding whether the Design-Builder’s Work is substantially complete, the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Article A.4.
§ A.9.8.5 When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Design-Builder shall prepare for the Owner’s signature an Acknowledgement of Substantial Completion which, when signed by the Owner, shall establish (1) the date of Substantial Completion of the Work, (2) responsibilities between the Owner and Design-Builder for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and (3) the time within which the Design-Builder shall finish all items on the list accompanying the Acknowledgement. When the Owner’s inspection discloses that the Work or a designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Owner shall sign the Acknowledgement of Substantial Completion. Warranties required by the Design-Build Documents shall commence on the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof unless otherwise provided in the Acknowledgement of Substantial Completion.

§ A.9.8.6 Upon execution of the Acknowledgement of Substantial Completion and consent of surety, if any, the Owner shall make payment of retainage applying to such Work or designated portion thereof. Such payment shall be adjusted for Work that is incomplete or not in accordance with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents.
§ A.9.9 PARTIAL OCCUPANCY OR USE
§ A.9.9.1 The Owner may occupy or use any completed or partially completed portion of the Work at any stage when such portion is designated by separate agreement with the Design-Builder, provided such occupancy or use is consented to by the insurer, if so required by the insurer, and authorized by public authorities having jurisdiction over the Work. Such partial occupancy or use may commence whether or not the portion is substantially complete, provided the Owner and Design-Builder have accepted in writing the responsibilities assigned to each of them for payments, retainage, if any, security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and have agreed in writing concerning the period for completion or correction of the Work and commencement of warranties required by the Design-Build Documents. When the Design-Builder considers a portion substantially complete, the Design-Builder shall prepare and submit a list to the Owner as provided under Section A.9.8.2. Consent of the Design-Builder to partial occupancy or use shall not be unreasonably withheld. The stage of the progress of the Work shall be determined by written agreement between the Owner and Design-Builder.
§ A.9.9.2 Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner and Design-Builder shall jointly inspect the area to be occupied or portion of the Work to be used to determine and record the condition of the Work.
§ A.9.9.3 Unless otherwise agreed upon, partial occupancy or use of a portion or portions of the Work shall not (i) constitute acceptance of Work not complying with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents, or (ii) relieve Design-Builder of responsibility for loss of damages arising from defects in, or malfunctioning of, any work, material or equipment nor from any other unfilled obligations of Design-Builder under the Contract Documents..
§ A.9.10 FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT
§ A.9.10.1 Upon receipt of written notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance and upon receipt of a final Application for Payment, the Owner shall promptly make such inspection and, when the Owner finds the Work acceptable under the Design-Build Documents and fully performed, the Owner shall, subject to Section A.9.10.2, promptly make final payment to the Design-Builder.
§ A.9.10.2 Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage will become due until the Design-Builder submits to the Owner (1) an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which the Owner or the Owner’s property might be responsible or encumbered (less amounts withheld by Owner) have been paid or otherwise satisfied, (2) a certificate evidencing that insurance required by the Design-Build Documents to remain in force after final payment is currently in effect and will not be cancelled or allowed to expire until at least 30 days’ prior written notice has been given to the Owner, (3) a written statement that the Design-Builder knows of no substantial reason that the insurance will not be renewable to cover the period required by the Design-Build Documents, (4) consent of surety, if any, to final payment, (5) receipts, releases and waivers of liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances arising out of the Design-Build Contract, to the extent and in such form as may be designated by the Owner, (6) a full set of reproducible as-built drawings, consisting of the Construction Documents marked by the Construction Manager to show all Change Orders, Construction Change Directive, field conditions, field deviations, and all other “as-built” conditions, and (7) a final certificate of occupancy for each of the buildings which are part of the Project. If a Contractor refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by the Owner, the Design-Builder may furnish a bond satisfactory to the Owner to indemnify the Owner against such lien. If such lien remains unsatisfied after payments are made, the Design-Builder shall refund to the Owner all money that the Owner may be liable to pay in connection with the discharge of such lien, including all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

§ A.9.10.3 If, after the Owner determines that the Design-Builder’s Work or designated portion thereof is substantially completed, final completion thereof is materially delayed through no fault of the Design-Builder or by issuance of a Change Order or a Construction Change Directive affecting final completion, the Owner shall, upon application by the Design-Builder, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than retainage stipulated in the Design-Build Documents, and if bonds have been furnished, the written consent of surety to payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by the Design-Builder. Such payment shall be made under terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims. If final completion has not occurred within ** after Substantial Completion, other than for reasons not the fault of the Design-Builder, then, in addition to whatever rights it may have, the Owner shall have the right, upon ten (10) days additional notice to Design-Builder, to complete the Work and then receive payment for the reasonable cost thereof from the Design-Builder, and to offset any such costs from any payments remaining due to the Design-Builder.
§ A.9.10.4 The making of final payment shall constitute a waiver of Claims by the Owner except those arising from:
  .1   liens, Claims, security interests or encumbrances arising out of the Design-Build Documents and unsettled;
 
  .2   failure of the Work to comply with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents; or
 
  .3   terms of special warranties required by the Design-Build Documents.
§ A.9.10.5 Acceptance of final payment by the Design-Builder, a Contractor or material supplier shall constitute a waiver of claims by that payee except those previously made in writing and identified by that payee as unsettled at the time of final Application for Payment.
§ A.9.10.6 With the final Application for Payment, the Design-Builder shall submit a certification signed on its behalf, in form and substance reasonable acceptable to the Owner, certifying that the Work has been fully completed in accordance with the plans and specifications therefore.

§ A.11.3 OWNER’S LIABILITY INSURANCE
§ A.11.3.1 The Owner shall be responsible for purchasing and maintaining the Owner’s usual liability insurance, which shall be non-contributory to the insurance provided by the Contractor.
§ A.11.4 PROPERTY INSURANCE
§ A.11.4.1 Unless otherwise provided, the Owner shall purchase and maintain, in a company or companies lawfully authorized to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Project is located, property insurance written on a builder’s risk, “all-risk” or equivalent policy form in the amount of the initial Contract Sum, plus the value of subsequent Design-Build Contract modifications and cost of materials supplied or installed by others, comprising total value for the entire Project at the site on a replacement cost basis with a deductible not to exceed **. Such property insurance shall be maintained, unless otherwise provided in the Design-Build Documents or otherwise agreed in writing by all persons and entities who are beneficiaries of such insurance, until final payment has been made as provided in Section A.9.10 or until no person or entity other than the Owner has an insurable interest in the property required by this Section A.11.4 to be covered, whichever is later. This insurance shall include interests of the Owner, Design-Builder, Contractors and Subcontractors in the Project.
§ A.11.4.1.1 Property insurance shall be on an “all-risk” or equivalent policy form and shall include, without limitation, insurance against the perils of fire (with extended coverage) and physical loss or damage including, without duplication of coverage, theft, vandalism, malicious mischief, collapse, earthquake, flood, windstorm, falsework, testing and startup, temporary buildings and debris removal, including demolition occasioned by enforcement of any applicable legal requirements, and shall cover reasonable compensation for Design-Builder’s services and expenses required as a result of such insured loss.
§ A.11.4.1.2 If the Owner does not intend to purchase such property insurance required by the Design-Build Contract and with all of the coverages in the amount described above, the Owner shall so inform the Design-Builder in writing prior to commencement of the Work. The Design-Builder may then effect insurance that will protect the interests of the Design-Builder, Contractors and Subcontractors in the Work, and, by appropriate Change Order, the cost thereof shall be charged to the Owner. If the Design-Builder is damaged by the failure or neglect of the Owner to purchase or maintain insurance as described above without so notifying the Design-Builder in writing, then the Owner shall bear all reasonable costs properly attributable thereto.
§ A.11.4.1.3 If the property insurance requires deductibles, the Owner shall pay costs not covered because of such deductibles.
§ A.11.4.1.4 This property insurance shall cover portions of the Work stored off the site and also portions of the Work in transit.
§ A.11.4.1.5 Partial occupancy or use in accordance with Section A.9.9 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, without mutual written consent, take no action with respect to partial occupancy or use that would cause cancellation, lapse or reduction of insurance.
§ A.11.4.2 Boiler and Machinery Insurance. The Owner shall purchase and maintain boiler and machinery insurance required by the Design-Build Documents or by law, which shall specifically cover such insured objects during installation and until final acceptance by the Owner; this insurance shall include interests of the Owner, Design-Builder, Contractors and Subcontractors in the Work, and the Owner and Design-Builder shall be named insureds.

§ A.11.4.3 Loss of Use Insurance. 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. The Owner waives all rights of action against the Design-Builder, Architect, the Design-Builder’s other design professionals, if any, Contractors and Subcontractors for loss of use of the Owner’s property, including consequential losses due to fire or other hazards, however caused.
§ A.11.4.4 If the Design-Builder requests in writing that insurance for risks other than those described herein or other special causes of loss be included in the property insurance policy, the Owner shall, if possible, include such insurance, and the cost thereof shall be charged to the Design-Builder by appropriate Change Order.
§ A.11.4.5 If during the Project construction period the Owner insures properties, real or personal or both, at or adjacent to the site by property insurance under policies separate from those insuring the Project, or if after final payment property insurance is to be provided on the completed Project through a policy or policies other than those insuring the Project during the construction period, the Owner shall waive all rights in accordance with the terms of Section A.11.4.7 for damages caused by fire or other causes of loss covered by this separate property insurance. All separate policies shall provide this waiver of subrogation by endorsement or otherwise.
§ A.11.4.6 Before an exposure to loss may occur, the Owner shall file with the Design-Builder a copy of each policy that includes insurance coverages required by this Section A.11.4. Each policy shall contain all generally applicable conditions, definitions, exclusions and endorsements related to this Project. Each policy shall contain a provision that the policy will not be canceled or allowed to expire and that its limits will not be reduced until at least 30 days’ prior written notice has been given to the Design-Builder.
§ A.11.4.7 Waivers of Subrogation. The Owner and Design-Builder waive all rights against each other and any of their consultants, separate contractors described in Section A.6.1, if any, Contractors, Subcontractors, agents and employees, each of the other, and any of their contractors, subcontractors, agents and employees, for damages caused by fire or other causes of loss to the extent covered by property insurance obtained pursuant to this Section A.11.4 or other property insurance applicable to the Work, except such rights as they have to proceeds of such insurance held by the Owner as fiduciary. The Owner or Design-Builder, as appropriate, shall require of the separate contractors described in Section A.6.1, if any, and the Contractors, Subcontractors, agents and employees of any of them, by appropriate agreements, written where legally required for validity, similar waivers each in favor of other parties enumerated herein. 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, even though the person or entity 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.
§ A.11.4.8 A loss insured under Owner’s property insurance shall be adjusted by the Owner as fiduciary and made payable to the Owner as fiduciary for the insureds, as their interests may appear, subject to requirements of any applicable mortgagee clause and of Section A.11.4.10. The Design-Builder shall pay Contractors their just shares of insurance proceeds received by the Design-Builder, and, by appropriate agreements, written where legally required for validity, shall require Contractors to make payments to their Subcontractors in similar manner.
§ A.11.4.9 If required in writing by a party in interest, the Owner as fiduciary shall, upon occurrence of an insured loss, give bond for proper performance of the Owner’s duties. The cost of required bonds shall be charged against proceeds received as fiduciary. The Owner shall deposit in a separate account proceeds so received, which the Owner shall distribute in accordance with such agreement as the parties in interest may reach. If after such loss no other special agreement is made and unless the Owner terminates the Design-Build Contract for convenience, replacement of damaged property shall be performed by the Design-Builder after notification of a Change in the Work in accordance with Article A.7.
§ A.11.4.10 The Owner as fiduciary shall have power to adjust and settle a loss with insurers unless one of the parties in interest shall object in writing within five days after occurrence of loss to the Owner’s exercise of this power.; The Owner as fiduciary shall, in the case of a decision or award, make settlement with insurers in accordance with directions of a decision or award. If distribution of insurance proceeds by arbitration is required, the arbitrators will direct such distribution.

§ A.11.5 PERFORMANCE BOND AND PAYMENT BOND
§ A.11.5.1 The Owner has elected not to require that the Design-Builder furnish bonds covering the performance of the Design-Build Contract and payment of obligations arising thereunder.
ARTICLE A.12 UNCOVERING AND CORRECTION OF WORK

§ A.12.1 UNCOVERING OF WORK
§ A.12.1.1 If a portion of the Work is covered contrary to requirements specifically expressed in the Design-Build Documents, it must be uncovered for the Owner’s examination and be replaced at the Design-Builder’s expense without change in the Contract Time.
§ A.12.1.2 If a portion of the Work has been covered which the Owner has not specifically requested to examine prior to it’s being covered, the Owner may request to see such Work and it shall be uncovered by the Design-Builder. If such Work is in accordance with the Design-Build Documents, costs of uncovering and replacement shall, by appropriate Change Order, be at the Owner’s expense. If such Work is not in accordance with the Design-Build Documents, correction shall be at the Design-Builder’s expense unless the condition was caused by the Owner or a separate contractor, in which event the Owner shall be responsible for payment of such costs.
§ A.12.2 CORRECTION OF WORK

§ A.12.2.1 BEFORE OR AFTER SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.
§ A.12.2.1.1 The Design-Builder shall promptly correct Work rejected by the Owner or failing to conform to the requirements of the Design-Build Documents, whether discovered before or after Substantial Completion and whether or not fabricated, installed or completed. Costs of correcting such rejected Work, including additional testing, shall be at the Design-Builder’s expense.
§ A.12.2.2 AFTER SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
§ A.12.2.2.1 In addition to the Design-Builder’s obligations under Section A.3.5, if, within one year after the date of Substantial Completion or after the date for commencement of warranties established under Section A.9.8.5 or by terms of an applicable special warranty required by the Design-Build Documents, any of the Work is found to be not in accordance with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents, the Design-Builder shall correct it promptly after receipt of written notice from the Owner to do so unless the Owner has previously given the Design-Builder a written acceptance of such condition. The Owner shall give such notice promptly after discovery of the condition. During the one-year period for correction of Work, if the Owner fails to notify the Design-Builder and give the Design-Builder an opportunity to make the correction, the Owner waives the rights to require correction by the Design-Builder and to make a claim for breach of warranty. If the Design-Builder fails to correct non-conforming Work within a reasonable time during that period after receipt of notice from the Owner, the Owner may correct it in accordance with Section A.2.5.
§ A.12.2.2.2 The one-year period for correction of Work shall be extended with respect to portions of Work first performed after Substantial Completion by the period of time between Substantial Completion and the actual performance of the Work.
§ A.12.2.2.3 The one-year period for correction of Work shall not be extended by corrective Work performed by the Design-Builder pursuant to this Section A.12.2.
§ A.12.2.3 The Design-Builder shall remove from the site portions of the Work which are not in accordance with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents and are neither corrected by the Design-Builder nor accepted by the Owner.
§ A.12.2.4 The Design-Builder shall bear the cost of correcting destroyed or damaged construction, whether completed or partially completed, of the Owner or separate contractors caused by the Design-Builder’s correction or removal of Work which is not in accordance with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents.
§ A.12.2.5 Nothing contained in this Section A.12.2 shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to other obligations the Design-Builder might have under the Design-Build Documents. Establishment of the one-year period for correction of Work as described in Section A.12.2.2 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 Design-Build 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.

§ A.12.3 ACCEPTANCE OF NONCONFORMING WORK
§ A.12.3.1 If the Owner prefers to accept Work not in accordance with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents, the Owner may do so instead of requiring its removal and correction, in which case the Contract Sum will be equitably adjusted by Change Order. Such adjustment shall be effected whether or not final payment has been made.

§ A.13.2.2 The Owner may, without consent of the Design-Builder, assign the Design-Build Contract to OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. or an institutional lender providing construction financing for the Project. In such event, the lender shall assume the Owner’s rights and obligations under the Design-Build Documents. The Design-Builder shall execute all consents reasonably required to facilitate such assignment.

§ A.14.1.4 If the Work is stopped for a period of 60 consecutive days through no act or fault of the Design-Builder or a Contractor or their agents or employees or any other persons performing portions of the Work under a direct or indirect contract with the Design-Builder because the Owner has persistently failed to fulfill the Owner’s obligations under the Design-Build Documents with respect to matters important to the progress of the Work, the Design-Builder may, upon seven additional days’ written notice to the Owner, terminate the Design-Build Contract and recover from the Owner as provided in Section A.14.1.3.
§ A.14.2 TERMINATION BY THE OWNER FOR CAUSE

§ A.14.2.1
The Owner may terminate the Design-Build Contract if the Design-Builder:
  .1   persistently or repeatedly refuses or fails to supply enough properly skilled workers or proper materials;
 
  .2   fails to make payment to Contractors for services, materials or labor in accordance with the respective agreements between the Design-Builder and the Architect and Contractors;
 
  .3   persistently disregards laws, ordinances or rules, regulations or orders of a public authority having jurisdiction;
 
  .4   otherwise is guilty of substantial breach of a provision of the Design-Build Documents; or
 
  .5   if a petition is filed by the Design-Builder, or against the Design-Builder with its consent, under any federal or state law concerning bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or relief from creditors, or if such petition is filed against the Design-Builder without its consent and is not dismissed within sixty (60) days; or if the Contractor is generally not paying its debts as they become due; or if the Contractor becomes insolvent; or if the Contractor consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or the like of the Contractor or of all or any substantial portion of its assets; or if a receiver, trustee liquidator, custodian or the like is appointed with respect to the Contractor or takes possession of all or any substantial portion of its assets and such appointment or possession is not terminated within sixty (60) days or if the Contractor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
§ A.14.2.2 When any of the above reasons exist, the Owner may without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of the Owner and after giving the Design-Builder and the Design-Builder’s surety, if any, seven days’ written notice, terminate employment of the Design-Builder and may, subject to any prior rights of the surety:
  .1   take possession of the site and of all materials, equipment, tools, and construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by the Design-Builder;
 
  .2   accept assignment of contracts pursuant to Section A.5.5.1; and

If such costs and damages exceed the unpaid balance, the Design-Builder shall pay the difference to the Owner. This obligation for payment shall survive the termination of the Contract.
§ A.14.2.5 Upon any termination by either party hereunder, all of the Design-Builder’s obligations as to portions of the Work already performed (such as, without limitation, warranties or obligations with respect to defective Work) or arising prior to the date of termination shall survive termination and continue in effect.

ARTICLE B.1 PROJECT COST ESTIMATES AND BUDGETS
(Paragraphs deleted)
§ B.1.1 PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATES
§ B.1.1.1 The Design-Builder shall prepare, for the review of the Development Manager and approval of the Owner, a preliminary cost estimate utilizing area, volume or similar conceptual estimating techniques.
§ B.1.1.2 When schematic design documents have been prepared by the Architect and approved by the Owner, the Design-Builder shall prepare, for the review of the Development Manager and approval of the Owner, a more detailed estimate with supporting data (the “Schematic Design Budget Check”). The Schematic Design Budget Check shall be in sufficient detail to identify major elements of the Project and within each trade and all assumptions and qualifications. During the preparation of the Design Development Documents, the Design-Builder shall update and refine this estimate at appropriate intervals agreed to by the Owner and Development Manager.
§B.1.1.3 When Design Development Documents have been prepared by the Architect and approved by the Owner, the Design-Builder shall prepare a detailed estimate with supporting data for review by the Development Manager and approval by the Owner (the “Design Development Budget Check”). The Design Development Budget Check shall conform to the same requirements as the Schematic Design Budget Check. During the preparation of the Construction Documents, the Design-Builder shall update and refine this estimate at appropriate intervals agreed to by the Owner and Development Manager. Continuously throughout the design process, the Design-Builder shall provide “value engineering” services consisting of a review of the cost, quality and schedule influences of proposed building materials, systems and construction methods relative to design objectives in order to identify optimal values for the Owner. Particular factors evaluated shall include, but not be limited to: overall construction cost, initial vs. life-cycle cost, alternative materials and methods of construction, impacts on related trades and building systems, major cost variables and risks, impact on local manpower and schedule, local availability of systems, materials and equipment, ability of components to interact with other building components, no overlap in sub-pricing or specifications, regulatory considerations, and environmental impact. The Design Development Budget Check shall be updated as necessary to incorporate value engineering items, as requested by Development Manager and Owner. If any estimate submitted to the Owner exceeds Owner’s budget for the Project or any phase of the project, the Design-Builder shall make appropriate recommendations to the Owner and Development Manager.
§B.1.1.4 The Construction Budget for the Project shall be a detailed Construction Budget by building trade categories of the Work (prepared by Design-Builder for review and acceptance by Development Manager and approval by Owner) which shall not exceed the amount to be agreed upon between Design-Builder and Owner, for construction of the Work and performance of Design-Builder’s services hereunder (for the scope of the Work covered by such Construction Budget). The Design-Builder’s Construction Budget shall also designate the portion of the Design-Builder’s General Conditions Costs (as hereinafter defined) and Design-Builder’s Fee allocable to the Work, and the estimated total cost of completing each phase of the Work, as well as the overall Work (the “Construction Budget.”) Design-Builder shall also gather, maintain, analyze and provide Owner and Development Manager with cost and pricing data for all subcontractors and with respect to all change orders in a manner that satisfies the Owner’s requirements.
§ B.1.1.5 If any estimate submitted by Design-Builder to the Owner for the Work or any stage thereof (or for any building trade itemized on the Construction Budget) exceeds previously approved estimates or the Construction Budget therefore, then without limiting Design-Builder’s obligations under Subparagraph 2.2.3, Design-Builder shall identify all such discrepancies in writing; endeavor to reconcile or explain the cause of the same and make appropriate written recommendations to Owner and Development Manager of changes in the drawings and specifications or other cost saving alternatives and shall provide Owner and Development Manager such supporting documentation with respect thereto as Owner and Development Manager may reasonably require. Owner may, if it so elects, approve the increased estimate of costs, adopt the Design-Builder’s recommendations of changes or, if applicable, exercise the rights and remedies provided in Paragraph 2.2.
§ B.1.1.6 The Design-Builder shall prepare and submit to the Owner prior to the Design-Builder’s first Application for Payment, in writing, a Control Estimate. The Control Estimate shall include the estimated Cost of the Work plus the Design-Builder’s Fee. The Control Estimate shall be used to monitor actual costs.

§ B.1.1.7 The Control Estimate shall include:
  .1   the documents enumerated in Article 8 of the Agreement, including all Addenda thereto and the Terms and Conditions of the Contract;
 
  .2   a statement of the estimated Cost of the Work showing separately the compensation for design services, construction costs organized by trade categories or systems and the Design-Builder’s Fee; and
 
  .3   contingencies for further development of design and construction.
§ B.1..1.8 The Design-Builder shall meet with the Owner to review the Control Estimate. In the event that the Owner discovers any inconsistencies or inaccuracies in the information presented, it shall promptly notify the Design-Builder, who shall make appropriate adjustments to the Control Estimate. When the Control Estimate is acceptable to the Owner, the Owner shall acknowledge its acceptance in writing. The Owner’s acceptance of the Control Estimate does not imply that the Control Estimate constitutes a Guaranteed Maximum Price.
§ B.1.1.9 The Design-Builder shall develop and implement a detailed system of cost control approved by the Owner and Development Manager, that will provide the Owner with timely information as to the anticipated total Cost of the Work. The cost control system shall compare the Control Estimate with the actual cost for activities in progress and estimates for uncompleted tasks and proposed changes. This information shall be reported to the Owner, in writing, no later than the Design-Builder’s first Application for Payment and shall be revised monthly or at other intervals as mutually agreed.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY LETTERHEAD]
AMENDED AND RESTATED
PRELIMINARY LETTER FOR AUTHORIZATION FOR SALES TAX EXEMPTION
As of August 6, 2009
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
     Re: 410, 420, 430, 440, 444 and 460 Saw Mill River Road, Ardsley, NY
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     The County of Westchester Industrial Development IDA (the “IDA”), by this notice, hereby advises you as follows:
     (a) The IDA constitutes a corporate governmental agency and a public benefit corporation under the laws of the State of New York and is, therefore, exempt from the imposition of any sales and use tax. The tax identification number of the IDA is 52-1294265.
     (b) Pursuant to a resolution passed by the IDA on July 14, 2009 (the “Inducement Resolution”), as amended by resolution passed by the IDA on August 6, 2009, (OSI) Ardsley LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its affiliates (collectively, the “Company”) is authorized and appointed by the IDA to act as agent for and on behalf of the IDA in connection with its renovation of existing improvements and its purchases, leases, installation, construction, reconstruction, maintenance, repair and equipping of Project Property (as defined below); and the IDA, based on its understanding of the IDA’s statute and tax law as of the date hereof, advises that purchases, leases and rentals of, and demolition, installation, construction, maintenance and repair contracts relating to Project Property (as defined below), made and/or entered into by or on behalf of the Company in its capacity as agent for the IDA, are exempt from New York State and local sales and use taxes. The Company may perform any of its duties as agent of the IDA through sub-agents which sub-agents may include contractors, sub-contractors or any of the Company’s subsidiaries, affiliates or related companies (any such sub-agent, a “Sub-Agent”). It is expressly agreed that the Company will remain responsible for any and all acts of any such Sub-Agents as if such acts were performed by the Company itself.

 


 

     (c) As used herein, “Project Property” shall mean and include (i) so much of the building and improvements to be constructed, and the materials incorporated into or installed therein, as are intended upon completion to be occupied by the Company (the “Project Facility”) at 410, 420, 430, 440, 444 and 460 Saw Mill River Road, Ardsley, NY, and located in the Town of Greenburgh, County of Westchester, State of New York, together with (ii) furniture, fixtures, furnishings, machinery and equipment to be installed in the Project Facility for use in the operation thereof; provided, however, that any Project Property shall have a useful life of one year or more and shall be for the use of the Company and/or its affiliates and/or a contractor or subcontractor engaged by the Company, as agent for the IDA, and for no other entity. In the case of rental arrangements of Project Property, such arrangements either (x) provide for a purchase option on the part of the Company, or (y) constitute a capital lease. Any maintenance contracts relating to Project Property shall only be with respect to Project Property having a useful life of one year or more, the replacement of parts (other than parts that contain materials or substances that are consumed in the operation of such Project Property where such parts must be replaced whenever the substance is consumed), or the making of repairs, but shall not include maintenance of the type as shall constitute janitorial services.
     (d) Accordingly, all vendors, lessors, contractors and subcontractors are hereby authorized to rely on this letter (or on a photocopy or facsimile of this letter) as evidence that purchases, leases and rentals of, and maintenance and repair contracts relating to, Project Property, to the extent they are consistent with this letter and or entered into by the Company [or by a contractor or subcontractor engaged by the Company], as agent for the IDA, are exempt from all New York State and local sales and use taxes.
     (e) The Company agrees that it shall include the provision set forth on Attachment I annexed hereto (through an attached rider or otherwise) in and as part of each contract, invoice, bill or purchase order entered into by the Company as agent for the IDA in connection with the Project Property.
     (f) The Company should be aware that the New York State General Municipal Law requires that it file an annual statement with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance regarding the value of sales tax exemptions that the Company and its agents, consultants or subcontractors have claimed with respect to the Property. The penalty for failure to file such statement is the suspension or removal of the Company’s authority to act as the IDA’s agent and the recapture of any benefits claimed pursuant to this letter. Prior to any purchase being made under this Preliminary Letter for Authorization of Sales Tax Exemption, the Company, and any sub-agent appointed by the Company, must complete and submit to the IDA Form ST-60 which is published by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. This Preliminary Letter for Authorization of Sales Tax Exemption will not be effective with respect to any purchases made by the Company, or by any such sub-agent, until Form ST-60 has been completed and received by the IDA. Failure to comply with the above requirements may result in the loss of sales and use tax exemptions obtained pursuant to this Preliminary Letter for Authorization of Sales Tax Exemption.

     (g) In exercising this agency appointment, the Company, its agents, sub-agents, contractors and subcontractors (the “Company Agents”) should give the supplier, lessor or vendor a copy of this letter to show that the Company and/or Company Agents are each acting as agent for the IDA. The supplier, lessor or vendor should identify the Project Facility as the “(OSI) Ardsley, LLC, Greenburgh, New York Facility” on each bill or invoice and indicate thereon that the Company and/or Company Agents acted as agent for the IDA in making the purchase, lease or contract.
     A copy of this letter retained by any vendor or seller may be accepted by such vendor or seller as an “affidavit, statement or additional evidence, documentary or otherwise, * * * demonstrating that the purchaser is an exempt organization described in section eleven hundred sixteen” of the New York Tax Law (the “Tax Law”), as provided by Tax Law §1132(c)(1), thereby relieving such vendor or seller from the obligation to collect sales and use tax with respect to the Project Property.
     (h) The IDA, its members, officers, employees and counsel shall have no liability, including, liability relating to the payment of sales or use tax, or performance obligations under any contract, invoice, purchase order, lease, sublease, license or sublicense of, or relating to, the Project Property.
     (i) If, for any reason, sales or use tax is due and payable in connection with the Project Property, the Company will be liable for the payment of any such sales or use tax.
     (j) The Company agrees that if (i) the Project does not fulfill the purpose for which the exemptions referred to herein and in the Inducement Resolution are being granted, or (ii) the Company does not obtain all necessary approvals in order to commence and complete the Project, then the IDA, in its sole discretion, may require the Company and the Company hereby agrees to reimburse the IDA for the full amount of any exemptions obtained pursuant to this Preliminary Letter for Authorization of Sales Tax Exemption.
     (k) The Company releases the IDA and the Company agrees that the IDA shall not be liable for and agrees to indemnify and hold the IDA and its members, officers, employees and counsel harmless against, any demands, expenses, taxes, liability, damage, injury, loss or claims caused, arising out of, or resulting from, or in any way connected with the use or issuance of this Preliminary Letter for Authorization of Sales Tax Exemption.
