order to the Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order is eliminated;

this right for the benefit of the Contractor or any other person or entity.
§ 8.3 OWNER'S RIGHT TO CARRY OUT THE WORK
If the Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, and fails

and profit, unless the parties agree on another method for determining the cost or credit.
§ 13.3 The Owner will 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 Contract Documents. Such
changes shall be effected by written order and shall be binding on the Owner and Contractor. The Contractor shall

responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
§ 15.4.3 Upon receipt of the Contractor's list, the Owner will make an inspection to determine whether the Work or
designated portion thereof is substantially complete. When the Owner determines that the Work or designated

maintenance, damage to the Work and insurance, and fix the time within which the Contractor shall finish all items

date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof unless otherwise provided in the
Certificate of Substantial Completion.

shall be adjusted for Work that is incomplete or not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
§ 15.5 FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT
§ 15.5.1 Making of the final payment by the Owner shall constitute a waiver of claims by the Owner except those
previously made in writing and identified by the Owner as unsettled at the time of final Application for Payment.
Such waiver does not include any subsequently discovered claims that could not be reasonably identified by Owner
by the exercise of due diligence at the time the final payment is made.

in the affected area shall resume upon written agreement of the Owner and Contractor. By Change Order, the
Contract Time shall be extended appropriately and the Contract Sum shall be increased in the amount of the
Contractor's reasonable additional costs of shutdown, delay and start-up.
§ 16.2.2 To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless the Contractor,
Subcontractors, consultants and agents and employees of any of them from and against claims, damages, losses and
expenses, including but not limited to attorneys' fees, arising out of or resulting from performance of the Work in
the area affected by any Unknown Hazardous material, provided that such claim, damage, loss or expense is
attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death, or to injury to or destruction of tangible property (other than
the Work itself), except to the extent that such damage, loss or expense is due to the fault or negligence of the party
seeking indemnity.
§ 16.2.3 If, without negligence on the part of the Contractor or breach of this agreement, the Contractor is held liable

performing Work as required by the Contract Documents, the Owner shall indemnify the Contractor for all cost and
expense thereby incurred.

causes of loss to the extent covered by property insurance obtained pursuant to Section 17.3 or other property
insurance applicable to the Work, except such rights as they have to proceeds of such insurance held by the
Contractor as fiduciary. The Owner or Contractor, as appropriate, shall require of the consultants, separate
contractors described in Article 12, if any, and the subcontractors, sub -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, 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.
§ 17.3.4 A loss insured under the Contractor's property insurance shall be adjusted by the Contractor as fiduciary
and made payable to the Contractor as fiduciary for the insureds, as their interests may appear, subject to

insurance proceeds received by the Contractor, and by appropriate agreements, written where legally required for
validity, shall require Subcontractors to make payments to their sub -subcontractors in similar manner.
ARTICLE 18 CORRECTION OF WORK
§ 18.1 The Contractor shall promptly correct Work rejected by the Owner or failing to conform to the requirements
of the Contract 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 and
inspections, the cost of uncovering and replacement, shall be at the Contractor's expense.
§ 18.2 In addition to the Contractor's obligations under Section 9.4, if, within one year after the date of Substantial
Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof or after the date for commencement of warranties established
under Section 15.4.3, or by terms of an applicable special warranty required by the Contract Documents, any of the
Work is found to be not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall correct
it promptly after receipt of written notice from the Owner to do so unless the Owner has previously given the
Contractor a written acceptance of such condition. The Owner shall give such notice promptly after discovery of the
condition. During the one-year period for correction of Work, if the Owner fails to notify the Contractor and give the
Contractor an opportunity to make the correction, the Owner waives the rights to require correction by the
Contractor and to make a claim for breach of warranty.
§ 18.3 If the Contractor fails to correct nonconforming Work within a reasonable time, the Owner may correct it in
accordance with Section 8.3.
§ 18.4 The one-year period for correction of Work shall not be extended by corrective Work performed by the

approvals with an independent testing laboratory or entity acceptable to the Owner, or with the appropriate public
authority, and shall bear all related costs of tests, inspections and approvals. The Contractor shall give the Owner
timely notice of when and where tests and inspections are to be made so that the Owner may be present for such

applicable laws or regulations prohibit the Owner from delegating the costs to the Contractor.
§ 19.4 COMMENCEMENT OF STATUTORY LIMITATION PERIOD
The Owner and Contractor shall commence all claims and causes of action, whether in contract, tort, breach of
warranty or otherwise, against the other arising out of or related to the Contract in accordance with the requirements

any case not more than 10 years after the date of Substantial Completion of the Work. The Owner and Contractor

jurisdiction thereof.
