Time for Performance -------------------- A. Design/Builder shall commence performance of the Work upon execution hereof and shall thereafter diligently continue the performance and prosecution thereof to completion, and agrees to complete the performance of the Work ("Completion") on or before the expiration of three hundred eighty (380) calendar days from the date hereof (the "Scheduled Completion Date"). If Design/Builder is delayed by any act or omission of Owner or by an employee, agent, or representative of Owner (other than by reason of the proper exercise of their respective rights, duties and obligations under the Contract Documents), or by changes ordered in the Work, unforeseeable actions of public utilities and governmental agencies, war, embargoes, causalities, acts of God or the public enemy, national emergency, or unusually severe weather conditions beyond that normally encountered and not reasonably anticipatable, then the Scheduled Completion Date (and Milestone Completion Dates, if applicable) shall be extended for a period equal to the length of such delay if within seven (7) days after the commencement of any such delay Design/Builder delivers to Owner a written notice of such delay stating the nature thereof and within ten (10) days following the expiration of any such delay provides a written request for extension of the Scheduled Completion Date (and Milestone Completion Dates, if applicable) by reason of such delay, and such request is approved by Owner, which approval shall not be 8 unreasonably withheld. Failure to deliver any such notice or request within the required period shall constitute an irrevocable waiver of any extension of the Scheduled Completion Date and Milestone Completion Dates by reason of the cause in respect of which such notice and request were required. In the case of the continuing cause of delay of a particular nature, Design/Builder need make only one request with respect thereto. Shortages of labor, shortages or unavailability of standard building materials, a normal number of adverse weather days, and the customary time periods to obtain approvals from and inspections by municipal authorities shall in no event entitle Design/Builder to an extension of time. No delay of the Scheduled Completion Date (or right on the part of Design/Builder to secure any such delay) shall prejudice any right Owner may have under this Agreement or otherwise to terminate this Agreement. Design/Builder has included in its schedule thirty (30) work days lost due to weather conditions in its schedule. Design/Builder will record on a daily basis whether its job progress has been materially affected by adverse weather conditions. Work day, as that term is used herein, shall mean and refer to any of Design/Builder's normal eight (8) hour days, Monday through Sunday of any given week, exclusive of customarily recognized and agreed national holidays. No application for extension of time will be made unless or until Design/Builder has lost in excess of the above number of days on which he had planned and scheduled work on items that materially affect the schedule. Design/Builder shall not be entitled to any extension of time, change order, adjustment of the Contract Sum or other compensatory or non-compensatory relief for events of delay or force majeure other than those specifically set forth above in this Section VI(A), and then only pursuant to the notice procedures hereinabove and subject to the limitations of the third paragraph of this Section VI(A). Design/Builder acknowledges and agrees that its assumption of the risks and responsibilities for delay is a material inducement to Owner's award of the Agreement to Design/Builder and material consideration in Owner's agreement to the Contract Sum, Scheduled Completion Date, Milestone Completion Dates and other provisions of this Agreement and shall not be modified or subject to interpretation other than as expressly set forth herein for any reason, including without limitation, custom, practice, industry standards or prior conduct or agreements. Extension of time shall be Design/Builder's sole and exclusive remedy for any event of delay hereunder, unless the same shall have been caused by acts constituting intentional interference by Owner with Design/Builder's performance of the Work and then only to the extent that such acts continue after Design/Builder's written notice to Owner of such interference. Owner's exercise of any of its rights under Section VIII regardless of the extent or number of such changes, or Owner's exercise of any of its remedies of suspension of the Work or requirement of correction or re-execution of any defective Work shall not under any circumstances be construed as interference with Design/Builder's performance of the Work. B. In the event of the occurrence of a delay for which Design/Builder is not entitled to an extension of time by the terms of this Agreement, Owner may direct that the Work be accelerated by means of overtime, additional crews or additional shifts or resequencing of the Work. All such acceleration shall be at no cost to Owner. Owner may similarly direct acceleration in the event of the occurrence of a delay for which Design/Builder is entitled to an extension of time by the terms of this Agreement, and/or notwithstanding that the Work is progressing without delay in accordance with the Progress Schedules. Design/Builder agrees to 9 perform same on the basis of reimbursement of direct cost (i.e., premium portion of overtime pay, additional crew, shift or equipment cost and such other items of cost requested in advance by Design/Builder and approved by Owner which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) plus a fee not to exceed five percent (5%) of such cost but expressly waives any other compensation therefor unless otherwise agreed in writing in advance of performing the accelerated work. In the event of any such acceleration, Design/Builder shall provide a plan including his recommendations for the most effective and economical acceleration. Acceleration which is compensible under this Section VI (B) shall be subject to the Change Order procedure set forth in Section VIII herein. C. As used in this Agreement, Completion shall mean Substantial Completion, which includes all work (exclusive of minor items of unfinished work which do not preclude beneficial use of the premises) to complete the base building, tenant finish and other work set forth in the Contract Documents and that each of the following shall have occurred: when (i) the Improvements have been completed except for punch list items (i.e., minor or insubstantial details of the construction or mechanical adjustments which do not materially interfere with the tenant's occupancy and use of the Project for the conduct of its business), (ii) a certificate of occupancy or its equivalent shall have been obtained for the Project permitting entry and legal use thereof for the installation of trade fixtures, decorations, equipment and other items to be constructed or installed by tenants, and for tenant's business activities to be conducted therein, and all governmental approvals required for completion have been obtained, and (iii) Architect shall have issued a Certificate of Substantial Completion certifying thereon the date of Substantial Completion. Without limiting the foregoing, Substantial Completion shall not have occurred unless and until the following have been completed, and, where applicable, are operational, except for punch list items: (a) the exterior curtain wall, window glass and other applicable exterior elements of the Project are completed as necessary to be water tight, (b) all utility lines servicing the Project are installed and capable of being used to provide the applicable utilities to the Project, (c) the restrooms, (d) all elevators, (e) the tenant parking spaces, (f) the public entrances and all lobbies, (g) all freight elevators, and (h) the loading docks. Notwithstanding the delivery of a Certificate of Substantial Completion by Architect, Substantial Completion shall not be deemed to have occurred until Design/Builder has provided Owner written notice at least thirty- five (35) days prior to the anticipated date of Substantial Completion. Design/Builder shall be afforded forty-five (45) calendar days from the Scheduled Completion Date within which to complete the minor items of unfinished work (the punch list work) referred to above. D. In addition to Completion as defined and specified herein and Design/Builder's obligation to meet the Scheduled Completion Date, Design/Builder agrees to and shall complete construction of the following items included within the Work on or before the time set forth herein. 10

Initial FF&E Phase: All construction necessary and related to commencing the initial phase of furniture installation shall be complete, including all areas in which furniture is to be installed and shall include all related construction, including but not limited to, flooring, painting, above ceiling work and any adjacent construction that may otherwise impede the progress of, or damage, the installed furniture systems. On or about ninety (90) days after the commencement of construction, Owner shall notify Design/Builder as to what portion of the premises shall be included in this Initial FF&E Phase. Owner shall also provide Design/Builder with a written schedule of its complete FF&E phasing plan for the entire Project once it has been determined by Owner. The above items shall be referred to as the "Milestone Completion Dates." Design/Builder shall notify Owner in writing upon the completion of an item of Work that is subject to a Milestone Completion Date, and in such notice shall set forth the date completion occurred (which shall not be more than three (3) days prior to said notice). E. Design/Builder acknowledges that the Scheduled Completion Date and the Milestone Completion Dates are essential to Owner's business operations, leasing, marketing, financing and development plans and therefore time is of the essence in meeting said dates. Design/Builder recognizes and agrees that it shall be liable to Owner for damages, loss, cost or expense which Owner may suffer by reason of Design/Builder's delay in meeting such dates. Design/Builder further recognizes that its schedule and the Outline Schedule set forth as Exhibit E hereto may be subject to reasonable adjustment or modification based --------- on the designations set forth in Owner's Initial FF&E Phase and in the complete FF&E phasing plan, and Design/Builder agrees that such shall not result in any extension to any Milestone Completion 11 Date or to the Scheduled Completion date, nor shall it constitute interference by Owner or be otherwise compensible to Design/Builder. Section VII. Permits and Licenses -------------------- Design/Builder shall obtain all necessary licenses, building and other permits, and similar authorizations from governmental authorities required to perform its obligations hereunder, and shall give all notices required by, and otherwise comply with, all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and restrictions. Design/Builder shall notify Owner of all conflicts between the Drawings and Specifications and any laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and restrictions. If Design/Builder performs any of the Work knowing, or when with the exercise of due care it should have known, the same to be contrary to any such laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or restrictions and fails to give Owner written notice thereof prior to performance thereof, Design/Builder shall bear all costs arising therefrom, which costs shall not be considered a part of the Contract Sum. Section VIII. Changes ------- A. Owner, or if authorized by Owner, its Developer, may authorize changes in the Work, issue additional instructions, require additional Work or direct the omission of Work previously ordered; provided, however, Design/Builder shall not under any circumstances proceed with any change involving any increase or decrease in cost without prior written authorization from Owner in accordance with the following procedure. Owner, or if authorized by Owner, its Developer, shall order changes in the Work by giving Design/Builder a written change order request ("Change Order Request"), setting forth in detail the nature of the requested change. Design/Builder shall then furnish Owner a statement setting forth in detail, with a suitable breakdown by trades and work classifications, Design/Builder's estimate of the changes, if any, in the Estimated Design/Build Cost attributable to the changes set forth in such Change Order Request, a proposed adjustment, if any, to the Scheduled and/or Milestone Completion Dates resulting from such Change Order Request and any proposed adjustments of time and costs related to unchanged Work resulting from such Change Order Request. If Owner gives written approval of such estimate, such Change Order Request and estimate shall constitute a Change Order, and the Contract Sum and Scheduled Completion and/or Interim Dates shall be adjusted as set forth therein. Change Orders shall not cause any modification to Design/Builder's Fee except as follows: if upon completion of the Work the net of all additive and deductive Change Orders has resulted in an increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Cost, then Design/Builder shall be entitled to a fee in the amount of five percent (5%) of the cost of such change Order Work ("Change Order Work"); if the net of all additive and deductive Change Orders has resulted in a decrease in the Guaranteed Maximum Cost, then Design/Builder's Fee shall be reduced by three percent (3%) of the cost of such Change Order Work. It is further understood and agreed that Subcontractors' and Sub-subcontractors' mark-up on Change Order Work shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%), and such limitation shall be included in each subcontract, with any amounts therefor in excess hereof being for the account of Design/Builder and not Owner and not reimbursable as a Cost of the Work. Design/Builder's Fee and adjustments set forth above, and the Subcontractor's mark-ups, 12 includes the fee, overhead and profit. Changes in the Work and Change Orders shall include charges for design services only if and to the extent such are for Additional Services as provided in the Design Contract. Additional Services, if any, shall be charged without Design/Builder's Fee or Subcontractor's mark-ups set forth above. Agreement on any Change Order shall constitute a final settlement on all items covered therein. If the parties cannot agree on the cost of Change Order Work, Design/Builder will proceed with the Work and the cost will be determined in accordance with Section IX(B) hereof. B. It is understood and agreed that refinement and detailing will be accomplished from time to time with respect to the Drawings and Specifications to be set forth in the modified Exhibit B. No adjustment in the Estimated --------- Design/Builder's Cost, Cost of the Work, Guaranteed Maximum Cost or in the Scheduled and/or Milestone Completion Dates shall be made unless such refinement or detailing results in changes in the scope, quality, function and/or intent of the Drawings and Specifications not reasonably inferable or anticipatable by a design-build construction manager/general contractor of Design/Builder's experience and expertise. C. Change Order requests shall not be considered by Owner unless prior written notice of the proposed Change Order is submitted to the Developer, together with documentation detailing the proposed increase or decrease in the Contract Sum caused by the proposed Change Order before commencement of the Work contemplated therein. No act, conduct or practice of Owner, Developer or any other person or party shall constitute or result in a waiver of this requirement, it being expressly understood and agreed that such requirement may only be waived in writing. Design/Builder shall price Change Orders which involve material scope changes to the Project on the basis of competitive pricing for such Work. Section IX. Payments -------- A. In full consideration of the full and complete performance of the Work and all other obligations of Design/Builder hereunder, Owner shall pay to Design/Builder a sum of money equal to the "Contract Sum" which is defined to be the total of (i) the Cost of the Work, as hereinafter defined, (ii) the Architect's Fee and Reimbursables, (iii) Design/Builder's Fee listed below, subject to adjustment as provided in the Contract Documents, and (iv) the Construction Contingency, which Contract Sum shall not exceed Twenty Five Million, Three Hundred Twenty Six Thousand, Seventeen and 00/100 Dollars ($25,326,017.00) (hereinafter referred to as the "Guaranteed Maximum Cost") subject to adjustments as provided in the Contract Documents, which Guaranteed Maximum Cost consists of the following: Estimated Design/Builder's Cost $22,583,252.00 (including Allowances) Architect's Fees and Reimbursables 1,520,657.00 Design/Builder's Fee 722,108.00 Construction Contingency 500,000.00 Guaranteed Maximum Cost $25,326.017.00 13 The Architect's Fee and Reimbursables includes the unpaid balance of the Design Contract. Such amount includes all fees, reimbursable expenses and other amounts payable for design, architectural or engineering services under the Design Contract or otherwise in connection with Design/Builder's design obligation hereunder, and Design/Builder assumes responsibility for all amounts now or hereafter owing to Architect. The "Design/Builder's Fee" as listed above is defined to be the amount equal to the fixed sum of Seven Hundred Twenty-Two Thousand One Hundred Eight and 00/100 Dollars ($722,108.00) (subject to adjustment for the cost of Change Order Work as provided in Section VIII hereof) subject to the adjusted Guaranteed Maximum Cost. In the event that the Cost of the Work is less than the adjusted Estimated Design/Builder's Cost, then Design/Builder's Fee shall remain Seven Hundred Twenty-Two Thousand One Hundred Eight and 00/100 Dollars ($722,108.00) subject to adjustment pursuant to Section VIII hereof. In the event that the Cost of the Work is greater than the adjusted Estimated Design/Builder's Cost and less than the adjusted Guaranteed Maximum Cost, then Design/Builder's Fee shall be equal to the Cost of the Work subtracted from the adjusted Guaranteed Maximum Cost (minus the Architect's Fee and Reimbursables and minus the Construction Contingency), subject to further adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Section VIII hereof. In the event that the Cost of the Work shall exceed the Guaranteed Maximum Cost, adjusted as provided herein, Design/Builder shall pay such excess from its own funds and Owner shall not be required to pay any part of such excess, and Design/Builder shall have no claim against Owner on account thereof. The "Construction Contingency" set forth in this Section IX is included within the Guaranteed Maximum Cost and is the maximum sum available to cover the costs (including impact costs) resulting from unforeseen conditions and events not evidenced at the time of execution of this Agreement, such as (1) refinement of details of design within the scope and standards of quality and quantities on which the estimate was based, (2) abnormal field conditions, (3) impact costs on materials and labor due to Change Orders, (4) time extensions, (5) delays due to unusually severe weather conditions not reasonably anticipatable, or (6) other causes of lost time which result in added costs or claims which are not otherwise recoverable hereof. The use of the Construction Contingency shall be mutually agreed upon between Owner and Design/Builder; provided, however, that Design/Builder shall, as a part of the monthly progress report, provide Owner with a statement on the use of the Construction Contingency setting out charges made, if any, against the Construction Contingency, and further noting the balance remaining in the Construction Contingency. No sums may be charged to the Construction Contingency except upon the mutual agreement of Owner and Design/Builder and then only to the extent that the same have been paid or are to be paid by Design/Builder. All charges to the Construction Contingency will be pursuant to appropriate Change Order decreasing the amount of the Construction Contingency and increasing the Estimated Design/Builder's cost with no adjustment of the Guaranteed Maximum Cost. Any Construction Contingency remaining at the time of Final Payment shall innure to the benefit of Owner. In the event that the Cost of the Work shall be less than the Estimated Design/Builder's Cost, adjusted as provided herein, the difference between such Cost of the Work and such 14 Estimated Design/Builder's Cost shall constitute "Savings" (hereinafter so called). Twenty-five percent (25%) of such Savings shall be paid to Design/Builder as an additional fee ("Additional Fee"); the balance of all such Savings shall accrue to Owner. In no event shall sums included under the Construction Contingency, as Allowances or resulting from deductive Change Orders or other reductions in the scope of the Project be used in the determination of Savings; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not result in an exclusion from Savings of reductions in costs achieved through the use of substitutions or alternatives approved by Owner and first proposed by Design/Builder after the execution hereof. Approval of any such substitutions or alternatives shall be at Owner's sole discretion. It is agreed that Design/Builder's Fee and any possible earnings under the Additional Fee paragraph above are Design/Builder's full and complete fee compensation for performing both the design and construction of the Work as listed herein. B. The term "Cost of the Work" shall mean a sum of money equal to the total of all of Design/Builder's Costs, as hereinafter defined. The term "Estimated Design/Builder's Cost" shall mean that sum of money set forth in Section IX(A) opposite the term "Estimated Design/Builder's Cost," subject to adjustment as provided in the Contract Documents, which sum is Design/Builder's estimate of all Design/Builder's Costs that are to be incurred and paid by Design/Builder in the performance of the Work. The term "Design/Builder's Costs" shall mean those costs necessarily incurred and paid by Design/Builder in connection with the proper performance of all the Work. Such Design/Builder's Costs shall be at rates not higher than the standard paid in the locality of the Work, except with prior written consent of Owner, and shall include and be limited to the following items: (1) Wages paid for labor, including without limitation that of design personnel in the direct employ of Design/Builder in the performance of the design or construction of the Work under applicable collective bargaining agreements, or under a salary or wage schedule agreed upon by Owner and Design/Builder, and including welfare or other fringe benefits, if any, as may be payable with respect thereto, and usual vacation pay and incentive bonuses made by Design/Builder to its key employees engaged at the construction site. (2) Salaries and fringe benefits of Design/Builder's design professional, supervisory or administrative personnel when assigned to and working on the Project and/or stationed at the field office, in whatever capacity employed when necessary for the performance of the Work; such personnel being subject to the approval in advance by the Developer.

Such costs shall include a fair rental not to exceed eighty percent (80%) (unless otherwise approved by Owner) of the published rates based on "Compilation of Nationally Averaged Rental Rates", most recent edition, of the Associated Equipment Distributors, approved by Owner in advance, for all tools and equipment furnished by Design/Builder from its own stock; provided that the rental paid for such equipment shall not exceed the market value of such equipment at the time first utilized in connection with the Work. Owner reserves the right to dispose of all such materials, equipment, temporary structures, tools and supplies which shall have been purchased, when no longer required for the Work, and Design/Builder's Costs shall be credited for the proceeds therefrom or the reasonable value of any items with respect to which Owner takes title. (6) Amounts due under all subcontracts made in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents, including, without limitation contracts or subcontracts with architects, engineers or other design professionals for the design of the Work.

Provided, however, Design/Builder shall not be required to remove debris created by Owner's separate contractors except pursuant to Change Order procedure set forth hereinabove. (14) The cost and expenses (actually sustained by Owner in connection with the Work) of protecting and repairing adjoining property, if required (Owner's prior approval for repairs will be obtained except in emergencies), and of settlements for same made with the written consent of Owner, except to the extent that any such cost is reimbursable by insurance or otherwise, or is the responsibility of Design/Builder, or is due to the failure of Design/Builder to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents with respect to insurance or to the failure of any officer of Design/Builder or of any of its representatives having supervision or direction of the Work to exercise good faith or at least the standard of care normally exercised in the conduct of the business of a design/build general contractor in the general vicinity of the project in any of which events such expenses shall not be included in Design/Builder's Costs. (15) Federal, state, municipal, sales, use and other taxes, all with respect to Services performed or materials or equipment furnished for the Work and for which Design/Builder is liable.

Such losses shall include settlements made with the written consent and approval of Owner. No such losses and expenses shall be included in the Cost of the Work for the purpose of determining Design/Builder's Fee. If, however, such loss requires reconstruction and Design/Builder is placed in charge thereof, he shall be paid for its services a fee proportionate to that stated in Section IX(A). 17 (19) Any other expenses or charges incurred, with the prior written approval of Owner, in the prosecution of the Work. C. Design/Builder agrees to furnish and perform without other charge than as a part of Design/Builder's Fee, the following services and costs: (1) Furnishing information as to the cost and availability of materials and methods of construction which may be of value to Design/Builder or Owner in determining the final architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical design of the Work.

On or before the twenty-fifth (25th) day of each month during the performance of the Work, Design/Builder shall submit to Owner for its approval a request for payment ("Request for Payment") in form and substance satisfactory to Owner (simultaneously therewith sending copies to such other parties as Owner may direct). Each Request for Payment shall be for a sum equal to (i) all of Design/Builder's Cost incurred during the preceding month and (ii) ninety percent (90%) of the pro rata portion of Design/Builder's Fee attributable to Design/Builder's Cost set forth in such Request for Payment; provided, however, that prior to the date of the Final Request for Payment, as hereinafter defined, the aggregate of Design/Builder's Fee payments shall not exceed ninety percent (90%) of Design/Builder's Fee amount as stated in Section IX(A) herein. Design/Builder's Costs shall be segregated and detailed in a manner satisfactory to Owner. Requests for Payment shall include the value of materials or equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the site or at some location agreed upon. Title to all such equipment and materials shall pass to Owner upon payment therefor or incorporation in the Work, whichever shall first occur, and Design/Builder shall prepare and execute all documents necessary to effect such transfer of title. In each Request for Payment, Design/Builder shall certify that such Request for Payment represents the amount due to Design/Builder under the terms of Section IX(B) and shall also certify as follows: "There are no known mechanics' or materialmen's liens outstanding at the date of this requisition, all due and payable bills with respect to the Work have been paid to date or are included in the amount requested in the current application, and except for such bills not paid but so included, there is no known basis for the filing of any mechanics' or materialmen's liens on the Work, and releases from all subcontractors and materialmen have been obtained in such form as to constitute an effective release of lien under the applicable laws of the State of Texas." Design/Builder shall furnish with each Request for Payment certification by the Architect that all amounts so requested by Design/Builder are properly due and owing and that the Work corresponding to the amounts requested in each Request for Payment has been properly performed and completed in accordance with this Agreement, the Drawings and Specifications, the Preliminary Building Plans and the other Contract Documents. Architect shall make such certifications as if Architect was engaged separately by Owner to provide architectural and contract administration services. Design/Builder shall furnish with each Request for Payment a waiver and release of lien for itself and, beginning with the second Request for Payment, for each of its subcontractors and suppliers having a contract or purchase order of $10,000.00 or more, together with any other 19 such forms required by Owner or Owner's title insurer or lender in order to assure an effective release of mechanics' or materialmen's liens in compliance with the applicable laws of the situs of the Project. Design/Builder shall submit with each Request for Payment a monthly progress report which shall set forth in detail the status of the Project as of the date of such Request for Payment. The format of the progress report shall be determined by Owner prior to submission of the initial Request for Payment, however, the progress reports shall at a minimum describe those aspects of the Work which have been commenced and the status thereof, enumerate the trades and subcontractors then involved in the Work and the amount of personnel employed on the Project by them, set forth the schedule for major portions of the Work for the coming month, and include Design/Builder's appraisal of the progress and cost of the Work together with recommendations as to any action which is required by Owner. Each monthly progress report shall be accompanied by an update of the CPM schedule (diagram only), the form of which shall be mutually agreed to by Owner and Design/Builder at the time the format for the progress report is determined. Additionally, Design/Builder shall provide Owner with monthly progress photos of the Work. Design/Builder shall also furnish with each Request for Payment complete cost detail and supporting documentation substantiating the amounts set forth in the Request for Payment, including copies of subcontractors' pay requests, invoices, labor sheets and other information substantiating Design/Builder's right to payment, summarized and verified by Design/Builder's accounting department. Owner may make such adjustments to Design/Builder's previous, current or subsequent Requests for Payment as warranted by Owner's review of the supporting documentation submitted by Design/Builder. Design/Builder shall not submit any Request for Payment which is incomplete, inaccurate or lacks the detail, specificity or supporting documentation required by this Section IX(B). Any Request for Payment that is deficient in any such manner shall not constitute a valid Request for Payment, and Design/Builder shall be required to resubmit said Request for Payment in proper form prior to Owner incurring any obligation to make payment on account thereof. Design/Builder specifically agrees that it shall not include in any Request for Payment sums attributable to Work which Owner or Design/Builder have rejected or which otherwise constitute or relate to applications for payments, billings or invoices of subcontractors or suppliers which Design/Builder disputes or for any other reason does not intend to pay. Owner shall review each such Request for Payment and make such exceptions as Owner reasonably deems necessary or appropriate under the current circumstances. In no event shall Owner be required to make payment for items disallowed by its lender(s). On or about thirty (30) days following receipt of a Request for Payment (unless such date falls on a weekend or holiday, then on the next business day) and provided Design/Builder has submitted its Request for Payment and supporting documentation in the manner and detail required by this Agreement, Owner shall make payment to Design/Builder in the amount approved subject to Section IX(F) hereof. The payment of any Request for Payment by Owner, including the final Request for Payment, does not constitute approval or acceptance of any item of cost in such Request for Payment. 20 Design/Builder agrees that ten percent (10%) of the amount due under each subcontract shall be retained by Owner until final payment ("Final Payment"), except that upon mutual agreement by Owner and Design/Builder, and with Owner's lender's prior approval, payment in full may be made to those subcontractors whose work is fully completed during the early stages of the Project or reduced with respect to other contractors at such times as the parties may mutually agree. Agreement to any such reduction shall not constitute a waiver of or prejudice Owner's right to subsequently reinstitute full retainage should circumstances justify such action in Owner's sole judgment. Retainage under subcontracts shall be included in Design/Builder's Request for Payment for the purpose of indicating the value of the Work performed, however, Design/Builder shall not request payment thereof from Owner until such retainage is actually payable hereunder. Thirty (30) days after final completion of the Work and acceptance thereof by Owner or as soon thereafter as possible, Design/Builder shall submit a final request for payment ("Final Request for Payment") setting forth all amounts due and remaining unpaid to Design/Builder. The Additional Fee, if any, shall be due and payable only after Design/Builder's Costs are finally established and agreed to by Design/Builder and Owner. The Final Request for Payment shall not be made until Design/Builder delivers to Owner a complete release of all liens arising out of this Agreement and an affidavit that so far as Design/Builder has knowledge or information the release includes all Materials and Services for which a lien could be filed. Design/Builder may, if any subcontractor or supplier refuses to furnish a release in full, furnish a bond satisfactory to Owner, Owner's title insurer and lender to indemnify Owner and such other parties against any lien. Upon approval by Owner, Owner shall pay the amount due under such Final Request for Payment. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, Final Payment shall not be made prior to thirty (30) days following final completion of the Work. E. In no event shall any interest be due and payable by Owner to Design/Builder, any subcontractor or any other party on any of the sums retained by Owner pursuant to the Contract Documents. F. Any provision to the contrary notwithstanding, Owner shall not be obligated to make payment hereunder if one or more of the following conditions exists: (1) Design/Builder is in default of any of its obligations hereunder or otherwise is in default under any Contract Documents; (2) Any part of such payment is attributable to Work that is defective or not performed in accordance with the Drawings and Specifications; provided, however, payment shall be made for Work performed in accordance with the Drawings and Specifications and not defective; (3) Design/Builder has failed to make payments promptly to subcontractors or for material or labor used in the Work for which Owner has made payment to Design/Builder; 21 (4) Owner in good faith determines that the portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Cost then remaining unpaid will not be sufficient to complete the Work in accordance with the Drawings and Specifications and the Preliminary Building Plans, whereupon no additional payments will be due unless and until Design/Builder, at its sole cost, performs a sufficient portion of the Work so that the portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Cost remaining unpaid is determined by Owner to be sufficient to complete the Work, or (5) Owner in good faith determines that Design/Builder has not or will not with prompt acceleration meet the Scheduled Completion Date. No partial payment or release of retainage shall constitute final acceptance or approval of the Work to which such partial payment relates or relieves Design/Builder of any obligations hereunder. G. Except for Design/Builder's Fee and the Additional Fee, if any, Design/Builder shall use the sums advanced to it pursuant to this Section IX solely for the purpose of performance of the Work and the design of the Project and the construction of the Improvements in accordance with the Drawings and Specifications. No provision hereof shall be construed to require Owner to see to the proper disposition or application of the monies paid Design/Builder. H. On or before the date of submittal of the initial Request for Payment, Design/Builder shall furnish to Owner and Owner's lender an affidavit, subordination and lien waiver agreement executed by Design/Builder. The agreements shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Owner and Owner's lender. Each party executing such agreement shall agree to subordinate its liens for Work to be performed or Materials to be furnished to the liens and security interests securing payment of any loan made by Owner's lender, and shall furnish a release of all liens for Work performed and Materials furnished to the date of such agreement. Each such party shall certify that all amounts owing to such party through the date of such agreement have been paid in full, or if not paid in full, shall set forth all such unpaid amounts. I. Design/Builder shall within ten (10) days following receipt of payment from Owner pay all bills for labor and material performed and furnished by others in connection with the design and/or construction of the Improvements and the performance of the Work, and upon request by Owner shall provide Owner with evidence of such payment. Design/Builder's failure to make payments within such time shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. J. Upon completion of the Work or the appropriate parts thereof, and subject to Owner's prior approval thereof and right to take title thereto pursuant to Section IX(B)(5) hereof, Design/Builder shall sell to a third party or transfer to itself at the then fair market value thereof, all hoists, scaffolding, forms, hand tools and other items purchased for use in the Work with funds furnished as a part of Design/Builder's Costs. The amounts received from such sale (or the fair market value thereof in the case of transfer to Design/Builder) shall be credited against the amounts due from Owner hereunder. 22 Section X. Discounts Rebates and Refunds ----------------------------- Design/Builder shall take affirmative steps to ensure that is takes full advantage of any and all available discounts, rebates, refunds and returns. All cash discounts shall accrue to the Cost of the Work, and Design/Builder shall notify Owner of the availability of such cash discounts in order that Owner may make available funds therefor. If Design/Builder shall fail to so notify Owner, such cash discount shall accrue to the Cost of the Work. All trade discounts, rebates and refunds, and all returns from sale of surplus materials and equipment shall accrue to the Cost of the Work and Design/Builder shall endeavor to make provisions for the securing thereof. Any discounts accruing to the Cost of the Work pursuant to this paragraph shall not result in adjustment of the Guaranteed Maximum Cost. Section XI. Compensation Retained by Owner ------------------------------ Design/Builder acknowledges that the Scheduled Completion Date and Milestone Completion Dates are essential to Owner's leasing, marketing, financing and development plans and therefore TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE in meeting said dates. Design/Builder agrees that from the Contract Sum to be paid to Design/Builder in accordance with the Contract Documents, Owner may retain as "Delay Damages" twelve thousand five hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($12,500.00) per day for each of the first forty (40) calendar days (including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) the Work remains uncompleted, which elapse between the time the Work (or the relevant portion thereof) should have achieved Milestone or Substantial Completion under the terms of the Contract Documents and the date the Work (or the relevant portion thereof) actually achieves Milestone or Substantial Completion, as applicable. Design/Builder further agrees that the Delay Damages shall be at the rate of twenty-five thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) per day for each such day after the first forty (40) days that such Work remains uncompleted. The foregoing amounts of Delay Damages shall compensate Owner solely for the Project's unavailability and Owner's resulting inability to use the Project for its intended purposes, and do not include (i) any damages, additional costs or extended costs incurred by Owner for extended administration of this Agreement or by Owner's agents, consultants, or independent contractors for extended administration, (ii) any increase in financing costs resulting from the delay, (iii) actual costs incurred by Owner's tenant and assessed or charged to Owner (including but not limited to costs of storing tenant's furniture, fixtures, equipment or materials and cost of overtime to complete the installation thereof), or (iv) any additional services relating to, or arising as a result of the delay. Owner shall be entitled to claim against Design/Builder for its actual damages, including those as set forth herein, which costs shall be computed separately. Together with the per diem Delay Damages, an amount equal to Owner's actual damages shall be either deducted from the Contract Sum and/or billed to Design/Builder. The parties acknowledge and agree that the cost and expense to Owner for its inability to use the Project are difficult if not impossible to determine, and the foregoing per diem amounts represent amounts which Design/Builder acknowledges and agrees Owner shall be entitled to recover and withhold without further demonstrating or evidencing the nature, source, cause or value of Owner's damages. The sums set forth above are not to be construed in any way as a penalty, nor shall they constitute liquidated damages or limit Owner from the recovery of the other actual damages provided for herein and excluded from the damages for delayed availability and use of the Project by Owner. 23 Section XII. Subcontracts and Purchase Orders -------------------------------- A. Design/Builder shall invite bids from, and enter into contracts and material orders with only subcontractors and suppliers who have first been approved by Owner. After receiving such bids, Design/Builder shall analyze them and make recommendations for awards, accompanying its recommendation with all pertinent data required for decision upon the award, and certifying that, to the best of its knowledge, the bid of the recommended subcontractor or supplier is bona fide, fair and reasonable. All subcontracts shall, so far as practicable, contain unit prices and any other feasible formula for use in the determination of the cost of changes in the Work. Design/Builder agrees to hold all subcontractors, including all persons directly or indirectly employed by them, responsible for any damages due to breach of contract or any negligent act and to diligently endeavor to effect recoveries of such damages. B. Design/Builder shall contract solely in its own name and behalf and not in the name or behalf of Owner, with the specified subcontractor or supplier. Design/Builder's subcontract and purchase order forms shall be subject to approval of Owner and shall provide that subcontractor shall perform its portion of the Work in accordance with all applicable provisions of this Agreement and the other Contract Documents. Design/Builder shall submit its subcontract and purchase order forms to Owner for approval prior to use in connection with the project, and shall promptly deliver to Owner a copy of all executed subcontracts and purchase orders entered into in connection with the Project. C. If the net effect of Owner's designation as the selected subcontractors and suppliers (taking into account both subcontractors and suppliers whose bids exceed those of bidders recommended by Design/Builder and those whose bids are less than bidders recommended by Design/Builder) is the selection of subcontractors and suppliers whose bids, in the aggregate, exceed those of the bidders recommended by Design/Builder and approved by Owner as complying with the Drawings and Specifications, the Estimated Design/Builder's Cost and the Guaranteed Maximum Cost shall be increased by the amount by which the bids of the designated subcontractors and suppliers exceed the bids of the bidders recommended by Design/Builder. Design/Builder's Fee set forth in Section IX hereof shall not be increased on account of Owner's designation of subcontractors or suppliers, regardless of the number of such designations or the resulting increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Cost, if any. D. All subcontracts shall, so far as practicable, contain unit prices and any other feasible formula for use in the determination of the cost of changes in the Work. Design/Builder agrees to hold all subcontractors, including all persons directly or indirectly employed by them, responsible for any damages due to breach of contract or any negligent act and to diligently endeavor to effect recoveries of such damages.

Bonds ----- A. Design/Builder shall obtain and maintain during the performance of the Work a performance bond and a labor and material payment bond, with obligee rider, each in form and substance satisfactory to Owner. The initial penal sum for each such bond shall be in an amount equal to the Contract Sum and thereafter the penal sums will be adjusted to reflect any adjustments to said Contract Sum. It is understood by Design/Builder and its surety that the penal sum will automatically be deemed equal to the Contract Sum as adjusted from time to time. To evidence the above automatic adjustments of the penal sums, Design/Builder shall provide to Owner and Owner's lender on a quarterly basis (or at such other times as Owner or Owner's lender may request) a written instrument executed by the surety evidencing such adjustments of the penal sums for each such bond. Such bonds shall be issued by independent corporate surety of recognized financial standing satisfactory to Owner.

Independent Contractor ---------------------- In performing its obligations hereunder, Design/Builder shall be deemed an independent contractor and not an agent or employee of Owner. Design/Builder shall have exclusive authority to manage, direct, and control the Work. Owner is interested in only the results obtained and not in the methods used in achieving the results. Section XVII. Inspection and Audit -------------------- A. Design/Builder represents that it has inspected the location of the Work and has satisfied itself as to the condition thereof and that the Contract Sum is just and reasonable compensation for all the Work, including all foreseen or foreseeable risks, hazards, and difficulties in connection therewith. B. Owner at all times shall have access to the Work for inspection thereof, but shall not be obligated to conduct any such inspection. Design/Builder shall provide proper and safe facilities for such access and inspection. If any of the Work is required to be inspected or approved by any public authority, Design/Builder shall cause such inspection or approval to occur. C. Design/Builder understands and acknowledges that Owner's lenders require periodic inspection and certification by an independent architect designated and engaged by lender and by other authorities and agencies. Design/Builder agrees to make the site available at all reasonable times for such inspections and shall coordinate with Owner's Representative (as hereinafter defined) as requested. 27 D. No inspection performed or failed to be performed by Owner hereunder shall be a waiver of any of Design/Builder's obligations hereunder or be construed as an approval or acceptance of the Work of any part thereof. E. Design/Builder shall check all materials and labor entering into the Work and shall keep full and detailed accounts thereof. F. In addition to Owner's other rights with regards to subcontracts entered into by Design/Builder, Owner shall be permitted to review and audit such subcontracts and the scope of work set forth therein. Owner shall have access to the Work and the right to audit all Design/Builder's books, records, correspondence, instructions, drawings, receipts, vouchers and memoranda relating to the Work, and Design/Builder shall preserve all such records for a period of four (4) years after the Final Payment hereunder.

It is understood and agreed that this Agreement, the General Conditions of the Contract includes as Exhibit I hereto and the other Contract --------- Documents provide for Owner's review and/or approval of various aspects of the design, construction and performance of the Work. Anything to the contrary expressed or implied by the Contract Documents or otherwise notwithstanding, an such reviews and approvals shall be solely for the benefit of Owner and may be exercised or omitted in Owner's sole discretion. Owner shall have no obligation to conduct any review or inspection or to express or submit any approval, and neither the doing so nor the failure to do so shall create or impose any duty, obligation or liability on Owner. It is further expressly understood and agreed that no review, inspection or approval shall create any rights in any architects, subcontractors or suppliers engaged by Design/Builder or in any other third parties. Section XVIII. Survey; Record Drawings ----------------------- A. Concurrent with the Final Request for Payment, Design/Builder shall furnish as-built surveys showing the exact locations of all structures and water, sewer, gas, telephone, cable, cable TV and electric lines and mains and of all easements for such utilities then existing. Such surveys shall be prepared by a licensed surveyor who shall certify that the Improvements are installed and erected entirely upon the Exhibit A property and within the --------- building restriction lines, if any, and do not overhang or encroach upon any easement or right-of-way of others. B. During the progress of the Work, Design/Builder shall mark record drawings to show the actual installation where the installation varies substantially from the Work as originally shown, giving particular attention to information on concealed elements that would be difficult to measure and record at a later date. Design/Builder shall submit the marked-up record drawings prior to Completion, preparing such documents so as to provide Owner with an as-built set of documents depicting the Project as constructed. Where changes and information are indicated on shop drawings, Design/Builder shall provided sepias or vellums of such drawings as supplements to the record drawings. The drawings shall be reviewed by Owner and returned to Design/Builder with comments. Design/Builder shall make corrections necessary and submit the originals of the final drawings to Owner. 28 Section IX. Termination ----------- A. If Design/Builder fails to commence the design or construction of the Work in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or diligently prosecute the design or construction of Work to completion thereof in a diligent, efficient, timely, workmanlike, skillful and careful manner and in strict accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents (including the Scheduled Completion Date), to use an adequate amount or quality of personnel or equipment to complete the Work without undue delay, to perform any of its obligations under the Contract Documents, or to make prompt payments to its subcontractors, materialmen or laborers, then Owner shall have the right, if Design/Builder shall not cure any such default after seven (7) days written notice thereof (or, if such default is of such a nature as to be incapable of cure within such period, shall not commence action to cure said default within such period and thereafter diligently and continuously pursue such action to complete such cure promptly, and in all events within thirty (30) days of such notice), to (i) terminate this Agreement, (ii) take possession of and use all or any part of Design/Builder's materials, equipment, supplies, and other property of every kind used by Design/Builder in the performance of the Work and to use such property in the completion of the Work, or (iii) complete the design and construction of the Project in any manner it deems desirable, including engaging the services of other parties therefor. Any such act by Owner shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right or remedy of Owner. If after exercising any such remedy the cost to Owner of the performance of the balance of the Work is in excess of the unpaid portion of the Contract Sum, Design/Builder shall be liable for and reimburse Owner such excess. B. If Owner fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, Design/Builder shall have the right to give Owner written notice thereof, stating the nature of the default. If Owner does not cure such default within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, Design/Builder shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving Owner written notice thereof at any time thereafter while such default remains uncured and payment shall be made to Design/Builder for all Work executed and for any proven loss sustained upon any materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery, and reasonable demobilization costs and fee earned to date of termination. C. Owner may, if Design/Builder neglects to prosecute the Work properly or to perform any provision of the Contract Documents, or otherwise does, or omits to do, anything whereby safety or proper construction may be endangered or whereby damage or injury may result to person or property, after three (3) days written notice to Design/Builder, without prejudice to any other remedy Owner may have, make good all work, material, omissions or deficiencies, and may deduct the cost therefor from the Contract Sum, but no action taken by Owner hereunder shall affect any of the other rights or remedies of Owner granted by this Agreement or by law or relieve Design/Builder from any consequences or liabilities arising from such acts or omissions. D. It is recognized that if Design/Builder is adjudged a bankrupt, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver is appointed for the benefit of its creditors, or if a receiver is appointed on account of its insolvency, such could impair or frustrate Design/Builder's performance of this Agreement. Accordingly, it is agreed that upon the 29 occurrence of any such event, Owner shall be entitled to request of Design/Builder or its successor in interest adequate assurance of future performance in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Failure to comply with such request within ten (10) days of delivery of the request shall entitle Owner to terminate this Agreement and to the accompanying rights set forth above in Section XIX(A). In all events pending receipt of adequate assurance of performance and actual performance in accordance therewith, Owner shall be entitled to proceed with the Work with its own forces or with other contractors on a time and material or other appropriate basis the cost of which will be backcharged against the Contract Sum hereof. E. Owner hereby reserves the right to terminate this Agreement without regard to fault or breach upon written notice to Design/Builder, effective immediately unless otherwise provided in said notice. In the event of such termination, Owner shall pay as the sole amount due to Design/Builder in connection with the Project (i) costs reimbursable hereunder for Work performed to date plus Design/Builder's Fee on such costs (except retainage sums shall not be paid prior to thirty (30) days following the date of termination); and (ii) reasonable cost of termination. Such sums will be due and payable on the same conditions as set forth in Section IX hereof, for Final Payment to the extent applicable. Upon receipt of such payment, the parties hereto shall have no further obligations to each other except for Design/Builder's obligations to perform corrective and/or warranty work and to indemnify Owner as provided in the Contract Documents for only that work performed prior to the date of termination. No fee or other compensation shall be due or payable for unperformed Work. Design/Builder agrees that each subcontract and purchase order will reserve for Design/Builder the same right of termination provided by this Section XIX(E), and Design/Builder further agrees to require that comparable provisions be included in all lower tier subcontracts and purchase orders. F. It is recognized and acknowledged that Owner (of affiliated or related entities of Owner) by separate agreement(s) has engaged (and may engage) Contractor as a contractor with respect to one or more other construction projects. Accordingly it is hereby agreed that any breach or default by Contractor under this Agreement, or under any other agreement between Owner (or affiliated or related entitled of Owner) and Contractor shall also be deemed a breach or default under any and all agreement(s) between the parties. It is further agreed that to the extent such breach or default entitles Owner (or affiliated or related entitles of Owner) to exercise any particular right or remedy with respect to one agreement, Owner (or affiliated or related entities of Owner) shall also be entitled to exercise said right or remedy with respect to any other agreement(s). G. In the event that termination of Design/Builder or its successor in interest pursuant to Section XIX(A) or (D) was wrongful, such termination will be deemed converted to a termination for convenience pursuant to Section XIX(E) and Design/Builder's remedy for wrongful termination in such event shall be limited to the recovery of the payments permitted for termination for convenience as set forth in Section XIX(E). H. The rights and remedies of Owner and Design/Builder under this Section XIX shall be non-exclusive, and shall be in addition to all the other remedies available to such parties at law or in equity, subject, however, in the case of Design/Builder, to the limitations contained in Sections XIX(E) and (F) and other provisions of this Agreement. 30 Section XX.

Section XXII. Waiver ------ No consent or waiver, express or implied, by either party to this Agreement to or of any breach or default by the other in the performance of any obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default by such party hereunder. Failure on the part of any party hereto to complain of any act or failure to act of the other party or to declare the other party in default hereunder, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver of the rights of such party hereunder.

As portions of the Project are completed and occupied, Design/Builder shall ensure that continuing construction activity will not unreasonably interfere with the use or occupancy of the completed portions thereof. Design/Builder recognizes that Owner and/or its tenant for the Project will engage other contractors who will be performing other work at and within the Project, and Design/Builder accepts such ongoing activity as a site condition relative to its Work, and its schedule, costs and fee include time and monies associated with performing work in such manner. Design/Builder will permit other contractors who are performing tenant work or other work in the Project access 32 to the Project and coordinate the Work with the work of such separate contractors so that the work by such other contractors and the Work under this Agreement do not interfere with each other. Section XXV. Compliance with Laws -------------------- Any provisions hereof the contrary notwithstanding, Design/Builder shall observe and abide by and perform all of its obligations hereunder in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction, including the Federal Occupational, Safety and Health Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Texas Accessibility Standards, and environmental statutes. Design/Builder shall not transport, store or introduce to the Project, nor specifically for use in its design or construction, any hazardous substances, as that term is used in the promulgations of the Environmental Protection Agency or The Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission. Section XXVI. Personnel --------- All personnel used by Design/Builder in the performance of the Work shall be qualified by training and experience to perform their assigned tasks. At the request of Owner, Design/Builder shall not use in the performance of the Work any personnel deemed by Owner to be incompetent, careless, unqualified to perform the work assigned to him, or otherwise unsatisfactory to Owner.
