Pinnacle Entertainment		GMP Qualifications
St. Louis City Project

1.	GMP Document Qualifications

The GMP is based on the Contract Documents, including this Exhibit G2, as defined in the GMP Agreement, and the Qualifications defined herein including the terms of the Executed Bid Package Recommendations, Executed Authorizations To Proceed, PCOs and Allowances.

RFI Log—Exhibit G8—If the response to a currently unresolved RFI causes an increase or decrease in cost or time, the GMP will be adjusted by Change Order to reflect schedule and cost impacts.

GMP Schedule—Exhibit G9—The GMP schedule has not yet been reviewed by subcontractors and compared to schedules under which subcontractors were procured. Differences, if any, between the GMP Schedule and current subcontractor requirements will be reviewed for incorporation into the GMP, if required.

Several details were not provided in the Contract Documents and have been developed in collaboration with the Owner, Architect, applicable subcontractors, and in some cases, consultants, to define and clarify the required work. These details will be used by McCarthy and its subcontractors for construction, and such details are deemed incorporated into the design for the Project. By participating in the development of these details, McCarthy is not assuming responsibility for design errors, omissions or inconsistencies related to the development of these details. Such details are deemed Drawings, and therefore, a Contract Document, whether developed prior to or after execution of the Contract. It shall be Pinnacle’s responsibility to secure approval of these documents by the appropriate licensed design professional.

Allowances as referred to in Exhibits G5, G6 and G7 will be adjusted pursuant to the Contract.

As of April 30, 2007, Contractor is not in receipt or has knowledge of any Subcontractor claims that would impact schedule or cost. For this reason McCarthy has excluded costs from the GMP for any potential Subcontractor claims due to schedule or cost impacts.

There are open design issues that will be analyzed by Contractor. As each open design item is completed, coordinated and then issued, McCarthy will review and analyze such information with regard to time and cost impacts, and such time and cost impacts will be addressed by the Change Order provisions of the Contract.

Reimbursables defined in cost plus subcontracts, as indicated in Exhibit G10, are reimbursable to McCarthy.

St. Louis City Project

Contract terms between Owner and Contractor will be reconciled with agreements between Contractor and its subcontractors. The impact of these terms, if any, to the subcontractors will be addressed by the Change Order provisions of the Contract, excluding liquidated damages provisions.

Design Contingency is excluded from this GMP.

All accepted Value Alternatives (VA), which have not been incorporated into the Contract Documents, are included in the GMP as a deductive allowance. When VA items are incorporated into the Contract Documents, firm pricing will be obtained from Subcontractors and Suppliers and the allowance will be reconciled by Change Order to the GMP.

2.	GMP Scope Qualifications

Utility Impact or Assessment fees are excluded from the GMP.

Ground breakings for the Downtown and River City projects; 5th floor offices and reception area; 6th floor Hotel Guest room mockup and Four Seasons Offices are excluded from the GMP.

Work being performed by McCarthy as part of a joint-venture and McCarthy self-performed work is considered an allowance.

All FFE warehousing, delivery, receiving, installation, cleanup, and dumpsters are excluded from the GMP, unless specifically identified in the Contract Documents to be provided or installed by Contractor.

Operator Supplies and Equipment (OS&E) is excluded from the GMP.

Contractor shall be allowed to use permanent utility services. Costs associated with use of these services shall be paid by the Owner outside of this Contract.

All MEP commissioning is excluded from the GMP.

With the exception of code required signage, all signage (including garage signage) is excluded from the GMP.

Curtainwall design is based on ¹/2” deflection in the structure.

The schedule of values shall allocate the entire Guaranteed Maximum Price among the various portions of the Work, except that the Contractor’s Fee shall be shown as a single separate item. The schedule of values shall be prepared in such form and supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as the Owner may require.

add the Contractor’s Fee, less retainage of zero percent ( 0%). The Contractor’s Fee shall be computed upon the Cost of the Work described in the two preceding Clauses at the rate stated in Section 5.1.2 or, if the Contractor’s Fee is stated as a fixed sum in that Subparagraph, shall be an amount that bears the same ratio to that fixed-sum fee as the Cost of the Work in the two preceding Clauses bears to a reasonable estimate of the probable Cost of the Work upon its completion;

subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner;

subtract the shortfall, if any, indicated by the Contractor in the documentation required by Section 12.1.4 to substantiate prior Applications for Payment, or resulting from errors subsequently discovered by the Owner’s accountants in such documentation; and

ADDENDUM TO AIA DOCUMENT Al11 - 1997

STANDARD FORM OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN OWNER AND CONTRACTOR

DATED MAY 11, 2007 BETWEEN CASINO ONE CORPORATION. (“Owner”) and

McCARTHY BUILDING COMPANIES, INC. (“Contractor”)

1. Project Description -St. Louis City Project. The St. Louis City Project will consist of the construction and development of a luxury class gaming and multi-use development on approximately 7.27 acres in the City of St. Louis, Missouri. The development is anticipated to include a 75,000 square foot casino located on a single level, 200 luxury hotel rooms, 2,000 parking spaces, three restaurants, an entertainment lounge/several bars, 12,000 square feet of convention/meeting space and gift, retail shops, full service salon and spa and health club. The project will include certain infrastructure improvements. Pursuant to an agreement with Owner, Contractor has already commenced performance of the Work on the Project. All work performed by or through Contractor on the Project prior to the date of the Contract shall be deemed to be a part of Contractor’s Work subject to and included and performed within the terms and conditions of the Contract as if the Contract was in place and in full force and effect as of the first day Contractor commenced Work on the Project, except as otherwise approved by Owner and subject to Paragraph 2.6 herein and the attached Exhibit 1. Contractor and Owner agree the Contract shall fully apply to all Work by Contractor on the Project, whether performed before or after the date of the Contract, except as otherwise approved by Owner and subject to Paragraph 2.6 herein and the attached Exhibit 1.

2. Guaranteed Maximum Price.

2.1 The Contract Sum is guaranteed by Contractor to Owner not to exceed a certain maximum amount mutually agreed upon by Owner and Contractor in accordance with this Section 2 (“Guaranteed Maximum Price”). The maximum cost to Owner for the completion of the Project, including, without limitation, the full performance of all Work (including all labor and materials) and all services of Contractor under the Contract, the Cost of the Work and all fees, compensation and reimbursements to Contractor, shall not exceed the Guaranteed Maximum Price as defined in the GMP Agreement. The Contractor’s Fee shall only be applied to the Cost of the Work for Work performed by or contracted through Contractor, and shall not apply to any other Work, including, but not limited to, Work performed or arranged by or through Owner or any of Owner’s contractors, subcontractors, vendors or others. Contractor agrees that the Guaranteed Maximum Price includes Work which is reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents, and such Work shall be performed by Contractor without any increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price as defined in the GMP Agreement. The Guaranteed Maximum Price shall only be increased or decreased by written Change Order, pursuant to the General Conditions and Supplementary General Conditions, and subject to the GMP Agreement. Contractor shall have sole responsibility for any and all expenditures cost and fees in excess of the Guaranteed Maximum Price subject to the GMP Agreement, without reimbursement by Owner. Contractor is not entitled to, and agrees not to claim, any fee, payment, compensation or reimbursement under the Contract or relating to the Work or Project other than as provided in the Contract Documents including this Addendum. If Owner reasonably believes that based on the progress of the Work and Cost of the Work that at any point and/or from time to time the Work cannot be completed for the Guaranteed Maximum Price subject to the GMP

Agreement and the Contract Documents, Owner shall have the right to require Contractor to provide Owner with satisfactory evidence of funds available to Contractor to pay any anticipated overage. Contractor’s failure to timely provide such evidence shall constitute a default under the Contract.

2.2 The Cost of the Work shall include a construction contingency (“Contingency”). The use of the Contingency will be decided in a collaborative process and subject to Owner’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Contingency shall be used for the following costs, such as but not limited to: estimating inaccuracies or mistakes; interfacing omissions between work categories; repair or replacement of defective work; bidder and subcontractor defaults; Contractor’s supervision and coordination of the Work; delays or acceleration in schedule performance of Contractor or its subcontractors’ work; scheduling or other management decisions made by Contractor; punch list costs; and other costs associated with errors or fault of Contractor. These items shall not be considered “Contractor’s negligence” for purposes of this Contingency. The Contingency shall not be used for: (1) costs that Contractor recovers from its subcontractors or suppliers of any tier, or their insurers or sureties (and Contractor agrees that it will make a good faith effort to recover such costs from the appropriate subcontractors, suppliers, sureties or insurers, and any recovery made by Contractor will be returned to the Contingency minus recovery costs (including attorneys fees and costs), to the extent payment has been made to Contractor from the Contingency, but Contractor shall not be required to exhaust such recovery efforts prior to payment being made under this Contingency, such payment to be made within 60 days of Contractor’s request); (2) changes in design; design development; conflicts, errors or omissions in the design; or lack of coordination of the design; all of which shall be subject to the Change Order provisions herein; (3) other costs that are the basis for a Change Order; and (4) Contractor’s negligence, which is defined as Contractor failing to meet the standard of care ordinarily used by contractors practicing under similar conditions at the same time and locality of the Project, but specifically does not include the uses of Contingency set forth in the third sentence above. At the time of Final Payment, if there is any Contingency remaining, such remaining Contingency shall be paid to Contractor up to a cap of $5,000,000, and any remainder over such cap shall be the Owner’s.

2.3 At a time mutually agreed to by the Owner and Contractor, Contractor shall prepare and submit to Owner for approval, Contractor’s proposal for the Guaranteed Maximum Price based on competitive bids where reasonably commercially possible and in accordance with the Contract Documents. The proposal shall include Contractor’s best and most diligent efforts to establish the lowest complete cost for the construction and completion of the Project in accordance with the Contract Documents and consistent with the Owner’s standards of first class quality and workmanship to the extent required by the Contract Documents and shall be based on (and, if requested by Owner, include copies of) multiple comprehensive, competitive, and legally binding subcontract proposals from all required subcontract trades made in accordance with paragraph 10.1 of the ALA 111 (none of which shall be affiliated with or controlled by Contractor or any principal of Contractor unless disclosed to Owner). The proposal shall further be based upon estimates from subcontractors or material suppliers for the balance of the subtrades and all other costs which are reimbursable under the terms of the Contract Documents.

2.4 If Owner and Contractor agree on Contractor’s proposal for the Guaranteed Maximum Price, then the Contract shall be amended in writing to set forth the agreed upon amount of the Guaranteed Maximum Price and a list of all other Contract Documents. If Owner and Contractor agree upon a Guaranteed Maximum Price and amend the Contract to set forth such amount, then all amounts paid or incurred by Owner under the Contract to or for the benefit of Contractor or otherwise relating to the Work, including, but not limited to all fees and other compensation to Contractor, up through and including the date of such amendment, shall be applied and counted in full against the Guaranteed Maximum Price.

2.5 If Owner and Contractor acting reasonably and in good faith are unable to reach agreement on the amount of the Guaranteed Maximum Price within a reasonable period of time after Contractor submits its Guaranteed Maximum Proposal, then Owner shall have the right to either (i) terminate the Contract for convenience pursuant to Paragraph 13.1 herein and all rights and obligations thereunder, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Contractor, or (ii) require Contractor to obtain additional competitive bids for Work which has not yet been subcontracted and Contractor shall within forty-five (45) days after such direction from Owner submit a revised proposal for the Guaranteed Maximum Price which revised proposal shall be subject to Owner’s review and approval, or (iii) continuing to proceed as provided in paragraph 2.6 herein and Exhibit 1 to Addendum to ALA 111. As part of such revision in (ii) above, Owner may change the scope and scale of the Work to be performed by Contractor and or of the Project, and Owner shall have the right to engage other additional contractors or subcontractors to perform parts of the Work which has not yet been subcontracted, which shall cause the Guaranteed Maximum Price to be reduced.

2.6 Until such time as Owner and Contractor execute an amendment to this Agreement establishing the agreed amount of the Guaranteed Maximum Price in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof, or Owner terminates the Contract because of no such agreement, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Contract, Owner shall continue to pay to Contractor for Contractor’s performance of the Work pursuant to Owner’s written authorization as further defined in this paragraph 2.6 below, as follows: as Contractor’s sole compensation, Owner agrees to reimburse Contractor for the actual Cost of the Work for Work properly performed pursuant to and authorized under the Contract and paid by Contractor on the Project in accordance with the Contract (to the extent Contractor actually incurs such Cost of the Work), plus Contractor’s Fee on such Cost of the Work. The amount paid to date and any amounts earned prior to execution of the Contract shall be applied in full towards and included within the Guaranteed Maximum Price. The parties agree that the current Bid Package Recommendation Authorization process for establishing and approving initial work scope and value, for establishing and approving changes to such initial work scope, and for schedule updates and reviews that is being followed by the Owner and Contractor prior to the finalization and actual signing of this Agreement and that will continue until establishment of the GMP, is described on Exhibit 1, attached hereto and incorporated by reference, and is acceptable to the parties.

2.7 In the event of a termination of the Contract pursuant to Section 2.5 above, occurring after the start of construction on the Project, Owner shall have the unconditional right to take possession of the Project and of all materials, tools and appliances thereon for which Owner has paid and finish the work by whatever method Owner may deem expedient. Unless the cause for termination shall have been Contractor’s act of bad faith or neglect of

duty under the Contract or any material default by Contractor (which such termination shall be handled as a termination for cause pursuant to the Contract) Owner’s sole obligation and liability to Contractor under the Contract or otherwise, shall be to pay Contractor for the Cost of the Work, as provided in Section 2.6 hereinabove, for amounts actually and properly incurred by Contractor performing the Work, in accordance with the Contract, plus Contractor’s Fee on such properly completed work, and treated as a termination for convenience by Owner pursuant to the Contract. The parties failure to reach agreement on a Guaranteed Maximum Price, so long as the parties were acting reasonably and in good faith, shall not alone be a breach of or material default under the Contract.

2.8 The Guaranteed Maximum Price includes specific allowance amounts for certain items as shown on the Schedule of Values (“Allowance Items”). Allowance items shall include only those specifically identified as such in the approved Guaranteed Maximum Price amendment. In the event the actual cost of allowance items turns out to be greater or less than the amount of the allowance, the Guaranteed Maximum Price shall be increased or decreased accordingly. The allowance amounts represent all costs of the Allowance Items, including, without limitation, costs of materials, labor, handling, transportation, loading and unloading and installation, Subcontractor’s overhead, Subcontractor’s profit, as estimated by Contractor, but shall not include Contractor’s Fee.

2.9 When development of the Contract Documents relating to Allowance Items allows (i.e.: when Plans and Specifications are final for each such Allowance Item), the Contractor shall, in accordance with the Contract, issue a Change Proposal, which if approved by Owner, will become a Change Order which will: (i) first reduce the Guaranteed Maximum Price by subtracting therefrom both the allowance amount identified in the Schedule of Values for such particular Allowance Item and the Contractor’s Fee applicable to such allowance amount, and (ii) then after such subtraction, add to the Guaranteed Maximum Price an amount equal to the Owner approved actual cost of such Allowance Item (determined in accordance with the Contract), plus Contractor’s Fee applied to such added cost. Provided, however, if Owner elects to have a party other than Contractor perform the Work related to such Allowance Item, or otherwise eliminates or reduces the scope of such Allowance Item, the Guaranteed Maximum Price shall be reduced by both the amount for such Allowance Item on the Schedule of Values and the Contractor’s Fee applicable to such allowance amount, but there shall not be any corresponding addition to or increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price for the cost of such Allowance Item not performed by Contractor.

2.10 The Guaranteed Maximum Price may also include amounts identified as estimated for certain trade or work items, if approved by Owner, which items shall be subcontracted later in accordance with subcontracting procedures established in the Contract at such times as, by mutual agreement of Owner and Contractor, the development of the plans will allow and based on competitive bidding from at least three bidders where commercially reasonably possible. These trade and or Work items and amounts, if any, will be set forth in an attachment to the approved Guaranteed Maximum Price Agreement. Any savings on a net basis resulting from the actual subcontracting of these trade and or Work items shall be returned to the Owner in the form of a decrease in the Guaranteed Maximum Price. Any overrun on a net basis of these estimated items shall be part of the Cost of the Work, but will not result in any increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price.

3. Contract Documents.

3.1 Contractor understands that Owner is relying upon the Contractor’s expertise, advice and guidance in connection with the completion of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, including without limitation within the Guaranteed Maximum Price. Contractor agrees to search for and recommend from time to time to Owner various value engineering and other cost savings measures during the entire progress of the Work to reduce the Cost of the Work to the fullest extent possible while maintaining the quality required by the Contract Documents. Owner will then elect, in its sole discretion, whether or not to implement such measures in connection with the Work.

3.2 Contractor agrees to review the Contract Documents, as the same are being prepared and check the same for (a) obvious conflicts, discrepancies and omissions, and (b) variations from customary construction practices and methods which, in the opinion of Contractor, may cause difficulties or occasion delay in the performance of the Work and timely advise Owner and Architect promptly, in writing, of any such observed problems. Contractor agrees to review and provide comments to Owner on the Contract Documents by consulting with Owner and Architect regarding Drawings and Specifications as they are being prepared, and recommending alternative solutions whenever design details affect construction feasibility, cost or schedule. Contractor agrees to timely advise Owner, using Contractor’s professional skill and judgment, regarding any missing or incomplete aspects of the Project scope known to Contractor.

3.3 Contractor also expressly acknowledges that this Project and the Work will proceed on a “fast-track” method of construction, i.e., construction will commence without final Drawings and Specifications in place. More specifically, while Drawings and Specifications are complete for certain portions of Work, the design process will continue for other portions during construction. Contractor represents that it is familiar with the scope and quality of those aspects of the Project which have not yet been fully designed, and has taken such scope and quality matters into consideration in preparing each component of the Guaranteed Maximum Price as defined in the GMP Agreement. Contractor agrees to work with Owner and Architect and their consultants in the completion of the design process and will provide prompt written notice to Owner if any redesign or value engineering is advisable for certain aspects of the Project at any stage of the design process.

EXHIBIT 1 TO ADDENDUM TO AIA Al11-1997

A.	Current process for establishing and approving initial procurement of the work:

1.)

Contractor receives documents from Architect and prepares Bid Packages based upon the received design documents for the purpose of soliciting proposals from the subcontracting or supplier community. Proposals shall be in the form of competitive bid, negotiated proposal or sole-source proposal, as mutually agreed between Contractor and Owner, depending upon timeliness and completeness of design documents received. Subcontractor proposals may be for a lump sum amount or a cost plus fee basis, as mutually agreed by Owner and Contractor.

2.)

Contractor receives proposals from the subcontractor or supplier community at the designated date and time for the Bid Package. For certain work as mutually agreed by Contractor and Owner, Contractor will propose to self-perform such work on a cost plus fee basis.

3.)

Post-Bid Conferences are held, with the Owner, Architect and Design Consultants invited, with the subcontractors and suppliers who submitted competitive proposals. The purpose of these Post-Bid Conferences is to review scope to determine whether the potential subcontractor or supplier understood the documents and conditions required to perform the work indicated by the Bid Package.

4.)

Corrected proposals and additional information are received from subcontractors and suppliers based upon the discussions and clarification of the Post-Bid Conference.

5.)

A Bid Package Recommendation is prepared by Contractor and submitted to Owner for approval. The Bid Package Recommendation includes:

Two paths of possible selection, Path A indicating the lowest cost alternative while Path B indicates the maximum amount of M/WBE participation along with the premium associated with achieving the indicated level of participation.

Any Allowances, Contingencies, or Unit Prices associated with the Bid Package, and whether work will be performed by subcontractor on a lump sum or cost plus fee basis. Contractor may also recommend that certain work be self-performed by Contractor on a cost plus fee basis.

Definition of the included Allowances, Contingencies, or Unit Prices along with any additional clarifications or exclusions.

Contractor’s Bid Evaluation Spreadsheet indicating other proposals received, if any, along with scope and pricing comparisons.

Contractor’s summary sheet of the total amount of previous Bid Package Recommendations already authorized by Owner.

6.)

A meeting is scheduled for review of the Recommendation being made by Contractor. In attendance are Owner and Owner’s M/WBE Consultant.

7.)

Owner authorizes Contractor to proceed with the Bid Package work indicated in the Recommendation by signing the Recommendation and selecting whether Contractor is to proceed with Path A or Path B (hereinafter referred to as “Executed Bid Package Recommendation”). Such Executed Bid Package Recommendations will be included in the GMP, if any.

B.	Current process for incorporating changes to the authorized work scope:

1.)

Contractor receives revised drawings, specifications, ASI’s, RFI responses, verbal direction, e-mail correspondence or any other direction from the Owner, Architect, Design Consultants, Code Officials, Inspectors, etc. These items and directions are reviewed by the Contractor and determined if they are a change to the initial Owner authorized scope of work received from the Executed Bid Package Recommendation.

2.)

If the item or direction is determined to be a change to the initial Executed Bid Package Recommendation, Contractor prepares a PCO or an Authorization to Proceed indicating the scope change and presents to the Owner for authorizing Contractor to proceed with the indicated scope change. This document contains a description of the change and whether the costs will be:

a. An increase/decrease to the current authorized amount

b. A charge to an Allowance item

c. A charge against a Contingency amount

The Authorization to Proceed has a tracking number that has been assigned for compiling costs associated with the indicated scope change and notes any costs associated with the item will be submitted for Owner review and approval at a later date. The document contains a signature line for the Owner to sign authorizing Contractor to proceed with the scope identified in the scope change (hereinafter referred to as an “Executed Authorization to Proceed”). Such Executed Authorizations to Proceed shall be valid and enforceable, regardless of the date such Executed Authorization to Proceed was signed. The Executed Authorization to Proceed may also be utilized to authorize overtime or shift differential work. Owner may also direct such scope changes to proceed by means of an Owner Field Directive (“OFD”) or ASI. After April 30, 2007, OFDs or ASIs will be used to authorize such scope changes.

The Authorizations to Proceed and OFDs and ASIs do not address any schedule impacts, if any. These are addressed within the schedule update process.

3.)

Once costs are estimated, or actual costs compiled, and reviewed by Contractor, a formal PCO is submitted to the Owner for approval. Several PCOs may be submitted with a summary sheet indicating the individual PCO numbers contained within, a short description of each PCO, cost associated with the particular PCO and summary of all costs for the included PCOs. The summary sheet has a signature line for Owner authorization indicating Owner’s approval of such costs, which will be included in the GMP, if any. Costs may be approved by inclusion in a PCO even though such work was not previously subject to an Executed Authorization to Proceed.

C.	Current process for schedule updates and schedule reviews:

1.)

The Contractor developed an initial Construction Schedule, PC-01 dated September 30, 2005, based upon the initial requirements of the project as indicated in the RFP documents. This Construction Schedule has become the baseline schedule and is also the basis of all future updates.

2.)

Schedule updates are performed at least on a monthly basis. During the schedule updates the following information is integrated into the schedule:

a. Actual Starts and Actual Finishes for work activities

b. Additional work scope as added to original RFP documents

c. Revisions to logic to reflect requirements of Contract Documents as the impacts become known

d. Revisions to logic to reflect how work is or will be accomplished

e. Adjustments to durations based upon additional information and clarifications

f. Authorization to Proceed schedule impacts as they become known

3.)

A monthly Schedule Review Meeting is held with the Owner and/or Owner’s Schedule Consultant and Contractor. All update information is reviewed at this meeting along with impacts, duration changes, and logic changes made to mitigate any delays. Owner provides any comments including direction for schedule recovery or schedule acceptance at this time including direction associated with compensable actions to mitigate delays. This updated schedule then becomes the basis of the next monthly update.

4.)

After updating Construction Schedule, and meeting with the Owner, a written narrative is prepared indicating Owner review comments, changes and impacts to the schedule, and their causes and effect to the Construction Schedule as reviewed with the Owner. An electronic version of the schedule and this narrative is forwarded to the Owner, and Owner’s Schedule Consultant if applicable.

ARTICLE 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS

§ 1.1 BASIC DEFINITIONS

§ 1.1.1 THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

The Contract Documents consist of the Agreement between Owner and Contractor (hereinafter the Agreement), Conditions of the Contract (General, Supplementary and other Conditions), Drawings, Specifications, Addenda issued prior to execution of the Contract, other documents listed in the Agreement, Exhibits and Schedules to any of the foregoing and Modifications issued after execution of the Contract. A Modification is (1) a written amendment to the Contract signed by both parties, (2) a Change Order when signed by Owner and Contractor, (3) a Construction Change Directive when signed by Owner. Unless specifically enumerated in the Agreement, the Contract Documents do not include other documents such as bidding requirements (advertisement or invitation to bid, Instructions to Bidders, sample forms, the Contractor’s bid or portions of Addenda relating to bidding requirements).

§1.1.2 THE CONTRACT

The Contract Documents form the Contract for Construction. The Contract represents the entire and integrated agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes prior negotiations, representations or agreements, either written or oral. The Contract may be amended or modified only by a Modification. The Contract Documents shall not be construed to create a contractual relationship of any kind (1) between the Architect and Contractor, (2) between the Owner and a Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor, (3) between the Owner and Architect or (4) between any persons or entities other than the Owner and Contractor. The Architect shall, however, be entitled to performance and enforcement of Contractor’s obligations under the Contract intended to facilitate performance of the Architect’s duties.

§1.1.3 THE WORK

The term “Work” means all construction and services and other obligations required or imposed by, and/or reasonably inferable from, the Contract Documents, whether completed or partially completed, and includes all other labor, materials, equipment and services provided or to be provided directly by the Contractor or through Subcontractors and Vendors to fulfill the Contractor’s obligations and fully complete the Project in accordance with the Contract Documents. The Work may constitute the whole or a part of the Project.

§1.1.4 THE PROJECT

The Project is the total construction of which the Work performed under the Contract Documents may be the whole or a part and which may include construction by the Owner or by separate contractors.

§1.1.5 THE DRAWINGS

The Drawings are the graphic and pictorial portions of the Contract Documents showing the design, location and dimensions of the Work, generally including plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules and diagrams.

§1.1.6 THE SPECIFICATIONS

The Specifications are that portion of the Contract Documents consisting of the written requirements for materials, equipment, systems, standards and workmanship for the Work, and performance of related services.

(Paragraphs deleted)

§ 1.2 CORRELATION AND INTENT OF THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

§ 1.2.1 The intent of the Contract Documents is to include all items necessary for the proper execution and completion of the Work by the Contractor. The Contract Documents are complementary, and what is required by one shall be as binding as if required by all; performance by the Contractor shall be required only to the extent consistent with the Contract Documents and reasonably inferable from them as being necessary to produce the indicated results. This provision is subject to the GMP Agreement, if any.

§ 1.2.2 Organization of the Specifications into divisions, sections and articles, and arrangement of Drawings shall not control the Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or in establishing the extent of Work to be performed by any trade, except as may otherwise be provided in the Contract Documents.

§ 1.2.3 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, words which have well-known technical or construction industry meanings are used in the Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized meanings.

§ 2.4 OWNER’S RIGHT TO CARRY OUT THE WORK

§ 2.4.1 If the Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents and fails within a seven-day period after receipt of written notice from the Owner to commence and continue correction of such default or neglect with diligence and promptness, the Owner may, without prejudice to other remedies the Owner may have, correct such deficiencies.

User Notes:

§ 3.12.4 Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar submittals are not Contract Documents. The purpose of their submittal is to demonstrate for those portions of the Work for which submittals are required by the Contract Documents the way by which the Contractor proposes to conform to the information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. Informational submittals upon which the Architect is not expected to take responsive action may be so identified in the Contract Documents. Submittals which are not required by the Contract Documents may be returned by the Architect without action.

§ 3.12.5 The Contractor shall review, approve and submit to the Architect Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar submittals required by the Contract Documents with reasonable promptness and in such sequence as to cause no delay in the Work or in the activities of the Owner or of separate contractors. Submittals which are not marked as reviewed for compliance with the Contract Documents and approved by the Contractor may be returned by the Architect without action.

§ 3.12.6 By approving and submitting Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar submittals, the Contractor represents that the Contractor has determined and verified materials, field measurements and field construction criteria related thereto, or will do so, and has checked and coordinated the information contained within such submittals with the requirements of the Work and of the Contract Documents.

§ 3.12.7 The Contractor shall perform no portion of the Work for which the Contract Documents require submittal and review of Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals until the respective submittal has been approved by the Architect.

§ 3.12.8 The Work shall be in accordance with approved submittals except that the Contractor shall not be relieved of responsibility for deviations from requirements of the Contract Documents by the Architect’s approval of Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals unless the Contractor has specifically informed the Architect in writing of such deviation at the time of submittal and (1) the Architect has given written direction for the specific deviation , or (2) a Change Order or Construction Change Directive has been issued authorizing the deviation. The Contractor shall not be relieved of responsibility for errors or omissions in Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals by the Architect’s or Owner’s approval thereof.

3.12.8.1 Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the Architect gives written direction to make a specific addition or deletion to the submittal or shop drawing, Contractor shall perform such work as directed by the Architect. Contractor shall notify the Owner of any cost impacts associated with such Architects direction pursuant to Exhibit 1 to Addendum to A111, and shall proceed with the Work so as not to delay the performance of the Work.

§ 3.12.9 The Contractor shall direct specific attention, in writing or on resubmitted Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals, to revisions other than those requested by the Architect on previous submittals. In the absence of such written notice the Architect’s approval of a resubmission shall not apply to such revisions.

§ 3.12.10 The Contractor shall not be required to provide professional services which constitute the practice of architecture or engineering unless such services are specifically required by the Contract Documents for a portion of the Work or unless the Contractor needs to provide such services in order to carry out the Contractor’s responsibilities for construction means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures. The Contractor shall not be required to provide professional services in violation of applicable law. If professional design services or certifications by a design professional related to systems, materials or equipment are specifically required of the Contractor by the Contract Documents, the Owner and the Architect will specify all performance and design criteria that such services must satisfy. The Contractor shall cause such services or certifications to be provided by a properly licensed design professional, whose signature and seal shall appear on all drawings, calculations, specifications, certifications, Shop Drawings and other submittals prepared by such professional. Shop Drawings and other submittals related to the Work designed or certified by such professional, if prepared by others, shall bear such professional’s written approval when submitted to the Architect.

§ 4.2 ARCHITECT’S ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONTRACT

§ 4.2.1 The Architect, subject to Owner’s consent, will provide administration of the Contract as described in the Contract Documents.

§ 4.2.2 The Architect will visit the site at intervals (1) to become familiar with and to keep the Owner informed about the progress and quality of the Work, (2) to guard the Owner against defects and deficiencies in the Work, and (3) to determine in general if the Work is being performed in a manner indicating that the Work, when fully completed, will be in accordance with the Contract Documents. The Architect will neither have control over or charge of, nor be responsible for, the construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or for the safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work.

§ 4.2.3 Notwithstanding Architect’s site visits as provided above, the Architect will not be responsible for the Contractor’s failure to perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents. The Architect will not have control over or charge of and will not be responsible for acts or omissions of the Contractor, Subcontractors, or their agents or employees, or any other persons or entities performing portions of the Work.

§ 4.2.4 Communications Facilitating Contract Administration. Except as otherwise provided in the Contract Documents or when direct communications have been specially authorized, the Owner and Contractor shall endeavor to communicate with each other through the Architect about matters arising out of or relating to the Contract. Communications by and with the Architect’s consultants shall be through the Architect. Communications by and with Subcontractors and material suppliers shall be through the Contractor. Communications by and with separate contractors shall be through the Owner.

§ 4.2.5 Based on the Architect’s evaluations of the Contractor’s Applications for Payment and all other information available, the Architect will review and after consultation with Owner, certify the amounts due the Contractor and will issue Certificates for Payment in such amounts.

§ 4.2.6 The Architect will have authority to reject Work that does not conform to the Contract Documents. Whenever the Architect considers it necessary or advisable, the Architect will have authority to require inspection or testing of the Work in accordance with Sections 13.5.2 and 13.5.3, whether or not such Work is fabricated, installed or completed. However, neither this authority of the Architect nor a decision made in good faith either to exercise or not to exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of the Architect to the Contractor, Subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers, their agents or employees, or other persons or entities performing portions of the Work.

§ 4.2.7 The Architect will review and approve or take other appropriate action upon the Contractor’s submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples. The Architect’s action will be taken with such reasonable promptness as to cause no delay in the Work or in the activities of the Owner, Contractor or separate contractors, while allowing sufficient time in the Architect’s professional judgment to permit adequate review. 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 Contractor as required by the Contract Documents. The Architect’s review of the Contractor’s submittals shall not relieve the Contractor of Contractor’s obligations under the Contract Documents. The Architect’s review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or, unless otherwise specifically stated by the Architect, of any construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The Architect’s approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component.

§ 4.2.8 The Architect may prepare Change Orders and Construction Change Directives.

§ 4.2.9 The Architect will conduct inspections to determine the date or dates of Substantial Completion and the date of final completion, will receive, review and forward to the Owner, for the Owner’s review and approval and records, written warranties and related documents required by the Contract and assembled by the Contractor, and will issue a final Certificate for Payment upon compliance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

§ 4.3 CLAIMS AND DISPUTES

§ 4.3.1 Definition. A Claim is a demand or assertion by one of the parties seeking, as a matter of right or adjustment of Contract terms, payment of money, extension of time or other relief with respect to the terms of the Contract. The term “Claim” also includes other disputes between the Owner and Contractor arising out of or relating to the Contract. Claims must be initiated by written notice. The responsibility to substantiate Claims shall rest with the party making the Claim.

§ 4.3.2 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. This notice provision shall not apply to claims for latent defects.

§ 4.3.3 Continuing Contract Performance. If the Owner and Contractor disagree as to whether work required by the Owner is within the scope of the Work, the Contractor shall furnish the Owner with an estimate of the Costs of the Work to perform the disputed work in accordance with the Owner’s interpretations. If the Owner issues a written order for the Contractor to proceed, the Contractor shall perform the disputed work and the Owner shall pay the Contractor fifty percent (50%) of its Costs of the Work and Fee thereon to perform the work. In such event, both parties reserve their rights as to whether the work was within the scope of the Work. The Owner’s payment does not prejudice its right to be reimbursed should it be determined that the disputed work was within the scope of Work. The Contractor’s receipt of payment for the disputed work does not prejudice its right to receive full payment for the disputed work should it be determined that the disputed work is not within the scope of the Work. If there is a dispute as to the cost of the work to the Owner, the Owner shall pay the Contractor the undisputed portion and fifty percent (50%) of the disputed Costs of the Work and Fee thereon. In such event, the parties reserve their rights as to the disputed amount as provided above.

§ 4.3.4 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 Contract Documents or from those of which Contractor was aware of, or should have been aware pursuant to Contractor’s obligations and representations under the Contract Documents or (2) unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, which differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally recognized as inherent in construction activities of the character provided for in the Contract Documents, then notice by the observing party shall be given to the other party promptly before conditions are disturbed and in no event later than 21 days after first observance of the conditions. The Owner or Architect will promptly investigate such conditions and, if they differ materially and cause an increase or decrease in the Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, will recommend an equitable adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, or both. If the Owner or Architect determines that no change in the terms of the Contract is justified, the Owner or Architect shall so notify the Contractor in writing, stating the reasons. Claims by either party in opposition to such determination must be made within 21 days after the Owner or Architect 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 Contractor cannot agree on an adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, the adjustment may be referred to the Architect for initial determination, subject to further proceedings pursuant to Section 4.4.

§ 4.4.3 In evaluating Claims, the Architect may, but shall not be obligated to, consult with or seek information from either party or from persons with special knowledge or expertise who may assist the Architect in rendering a decision. The Architect may request the Owner to authorize retention of such persons at the Owner’s expense if Owner approves such request.

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 Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. Contractor shall promptly proceed to complete and correct all items on such list.

§ 9.8.3 Upon receipt of the Contractor’s list, the Architect will make an inspection to determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the Architect’s inspection discloses any item, whether or not included on the Contractor’s list, which is not sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so that the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work or designated portion thereof for its intended use, the Contractor shall, before issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion, complete or correct such item upon notification by the Architect or Owner. In such case, the Contractor shall then submit a request for another inspection by the Architect to determine Substantial Completion.

§ 9.8.4 When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Architect will prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion which shall establish the date of Substantial Completion, shall establish responsibilities of the Owner and Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and shall fix the time within which the Contractor shall finish all items on the list accompanying the Certificate. Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence on the applicable date of Intermediate Substantial Completion, or Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof for areas not covered by the Intermediate Substantial Completion Dates, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial Completion or the Contract Documents.

§ 9.8.5 The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be submitted to the Owner and Contractor for their written acceptance of responsibilities assigned to them in such Certificate. Upon such acceptance by Owner and consent of surety, if any, the Owner shall make payment of the amounts due for such Completed Work.

§ 9.9 PARTIAL OCCUPANCY OR USE Paragraph 9.9 and the subparagraphs thereto to these General Conditions and Supplementary General Conditions are not applicable to those areas of the Work covered by the Intermediate Substantial Completion Dates, which are subject to the Completion and Liquidated Damages Exhibit (Exhibit 2 to the AIA A111).

§ 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 Contractor, provided such occupancy or use is 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 Contractor 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 correction of the Work and commencement of warranties required by the Contract Documents. When the Contractor considers a portion substantially complete, the Contractor shall prepare and submit a list to the Architect as provided under Section 9.8.2. Consent of the Contractor 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 Contractor.

§ 9.9.2 Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner, Contractor and Architect shall jointly inspect the area to be occupied or portion of the Work to be used in order to determine and record the condition of the Work.

§ 9.9.3 Unless otherwise agreed upon, partial occupancy or use of a portion or portions of the Work shall not constitute acceptance of Work not complying with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

§ 9.10 FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT

§ 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 Architect and Owner will promptly make such inspection and, when the Architect finds the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and the Contract fully performed, the Owner or Architect will promptly issue a final Certificate for Payment stating that to the best of the Owner’s or Architect’s knowledge, information and belief, and on the basis of the Owner’s and Architect’s on-site visits and inspections and all other available information, the Work has been completed in accordance with terms and conditions of the Contract Documents and that the entire balance found to be due the Contractor and noted in the final Certificate is due and payable. The Architect’s final Certificate for Payment will constitute a further representation that conditions listed in Section 9.10.2 and elsewhere in the Contract Documents, as precedent to the Contractor’s being entitled to final payment have been fulfilled.

User Notes:

§ 9.10.2 Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage shall become due until the Contractor 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 Contract Documents to remain in force after final payment is currently in effect and will not be canceled or allowed to expire until at least 30 days’ prior written notice has been given to the Owner, (3) a written statement that the Contractor knows of no substantial reason that the insurance will not be renewable to cover the period required by the Contract Documents, (4) consent of surety, if any, to final payment and (5), if required by the Owner, other data establishing payment or satisfaction of obligations, such as receipts, releases and waivers of liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances arising out of the Contract, to the extent and in such form as may be designated by the Owner. If a Subcontractor refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by the Owner, the Contractor 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 Contractor shall refund to the Owner all money that the Owner may be compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

§ 9.10.3 If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, final completion thereof is materially delayed through no fault of the Contractor or by issuance of Change Orders affecting final completion, the Owner shall, upon application by the Contractor and certification by the Architect, and without terminating the Contract, 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 Contract 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 Contractor to the Owner. Such payment shall be made under terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims.

§ 9.10-4 The making of final payment shall constitute a waiver of Claims by the Owner except those arising from:

liens, Claims, security interests or encumbrances arising out of the Contract and unsettled;

failure of the Work to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents; or

terms of special warranties required by the Contract Documents.

§ 9.10.5 Acceptance of final payment by the Contractor, a Subcontractor 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.

8.3.3

The following is added in lieu of Section 8.3.3 of the General Conditions:

“8.3.3

Extensions of Time and Guaranteed Maximum Price Increases for Delay.

8.3.3.1

To the extent the Contractor or any Subcontractor is delayed at any time in the progress of the Work by an Owner Delay or Force Majeure Delay, or by other causes which Owner and Contractor agree may justify delay, then the Contract Time shall be reasonably extended by Change Order, and the Guaranteed Maximum Price increased, if at all, in accordance with the procedures described this Section. In addition, Owner shall be granted additional time to perform its obligations under the Contract Documents to the extent a force majeure type event affects Owner’s obligations under the Contract Documents.

8.3.3.2

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Contract Documents, any item that cannot be demonstrated as being on or affecting the critical path of the Work shall not result in an extension of time to perform the Work or an increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price in the event such item is delayed. Further, to the extent any Owner Delay or Force Majeure Delay could have been prevented or reduced if Contractor had, consistent with the terms of the Contract Documents, performed its duties and responsibilities under the Contract Documents, such delay will not entitle Contractor to an increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price (except for that portion, if any, of such Owner Delay or Force Majeure Delay which could not have been reduced consistent with the foregoing and subject to the other requirements of the Contract Documents, including this Section 8.3).

8.3.3.3

Extensions of the Contract Time for the Work or an increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price will be authorized by Owner only if (a) Contractor has been necessarily delayed in meeting the dates for Intermediate Substantial Completion or Substantial Completion set

- 30 -

forth in the Agreement by a cause which constitutes an Owner Delay or Force Majeure Delay, or a change to the Work initiated by the Owner; (b) the completion of the Work by the dates for Intermediate Substantial Completion or Substantial Completion is actually and necessarily delayed by such cause; (c) the effect of such cause cannot be avoided or mitigated by the exercise of all reasonable precautions, efforts and measures, including planning, scheduling and rescheduling, whether before or after the occurrence of the cause of delay but shall only expend costs that would increase the Guaranteed Maximum Price to the extent approved by the Owner, and (d) Contractor has met any notice requirements set forth in the Contract Documents for it to be entitled to any extension of time or increased costs. All extensions of time and/or increases in the Guaranteed Maximum Price to which Contractor is entitled hereunder will be acknowledged by Change Order.

8.3.3.4

The period of any extension of time for delay shall be only that which is necessary to make up the time actually lost for a Work item or items identifiable on the Project Schedule as being on or affecting the critical path at the time in which the delay occurs.

8.3.3.5.

The amount of increase, if any, in the Guaranteed Maximum Price due to a delay shall be equal to the additional cost actually, reasonably and necessarily incurred by Contractor in Cost of the Work items plus Contractor’s Fee in accordance with Article 5 of the AIA 111 (a) as a result of continuing to maintain dedicated personnel, materials and equipment at the site during such delay and (b) other reasonable and unavoidable Costs of the Work, if any, which are directly related to any delayed Work to the extent caused by such delay, but (as to both of the foregoing (a) and (b)), only if and to the extent such actions are necessary, if at all, to be performed by Contractor to maintain the extended Contract Time and Project Schedule after taking into account any extension of time as provided for in this Section.

8.3.3.6

Contractor shall not be entitled to receive a separate extension of time or an increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price for each of several causes of delay operating concurrently but only for the actual period of delay in completion of the Work irrespective of the number of causes contributing to produce such delay. If one of several causes of delay operating concurrently results from any act, fault or omission of Contractor or Subcontractor or for which Contractor or Subcontractor is responsible, and would of itself, irrespective of the concurrent causes, have delayed the Work, no increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price will be allowed for the period of delay resulting from such act, fault or omission. Contractor shall be allowed an extension of the Contract Time as otherwise allowed subject to and in accordance with this Article 8, only if and only to the extent a concurrent cause of the delay is an Owner Delay or Force Majeure Delay, so long as such Owner Delay or Force Majeure Delay is not caused by any act or omission of Contractor or any party with whom Contractor is engaged or for whom Contractor is responsible.

- 31 -

8.3.3.7

As a condition precedent to the granting of an extension of time or an increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price, Contractor shall give written notice to Owner within twenty-one (21) calendar days after the time when Contractor knows of any cause which might result in delay, for which it may Claim an extension of time or an increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price, including those causes of which Owner has knowledge, specifically stating in such notice that an extension or an increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price is or may be claimed, and identifying such cause and describing, as fully as practicable, at that time, the nature and expected duration of the delay and its effect on the completion of that part of the Work identified in the notice. Contractor shall not be entitled to an extension of time or an increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price to the extent such would not be necessary, but for Contractor’s failure to strictly comply with this Section.

8.3.3.8

Since the possible necessity for an extension of time or an increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price may materially alter the scheduling plans, and other actions of Owner and since, with sufficient notice, Owner may, if it should so elect, attempt to mitigate the effect of a delay for which an extension of time or an increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price might be claimed, the giving of written notice as required above is of the essence of Contractor’s obligations hereunder and failure of Contractor to give written notice as required above shall be a conclusive waiver of an extension of time and/or an increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price for the cause of delay in question (but only to the extent Owner is in any wayharmed or prejudiced).

8.3.3.9

Contractor shall maintain adequate records supporting any Claim for an extension of time or increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price.

8.3.6

The following is added as Section 8.3.6 of the General Conditions:

“Recovery Plans. The Guaranteed Maximum Price is based on Contractor working as many hours as necessary to properly perform the Work and achieve the Project Schedule requirements and Contract Time. In the event it is necessary for Contractor or any Subcontractor to work additional overtime in order to maintain the Contract Time or Project Schedule and not due to an Owner Delay or Force Majeure Delay in accordance with the Contract Documents, Contractor shall be responsible for all costs relating to such overtime, subject to paragraph 2.2 of the Addendum to the AIA 111. “Recovery Plan” means a detailed narrative explanation clearly stating the scope and extent of any and all resource loading, activity re-sequencing and other acceleration activities required for all affected elements of the Work to obtain Substantial Completion of the Work in its entirety within the Contract Time.

If Owner determines at any time based on reasonable evidence that Contractor is behind schedule or is otherwise in jeopardy of failing to

- 32 -

complete the Work within the Contract Time and not due to an Owner Delay or Force Majeure Delay, Owner shall issue a written notice to Contractor identifying areas of concern and requiring that Contractor provide a Recovery Plan to Owner.

Upon receipt of Owner’s notice, Contractor shall immediately undertake all available steps to overcome or mitigate against the adverse effects of all delays identified by Owner. Contractor’s failure to undertake all available steps to mitigate the effects of such delays shall constitute a waiver of Contractor’s right to claim relief for any schedule extensions and/or additional compensation to the extent that Contractor’s failure to act timely contributed to such delays.

Contractor shall, within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of Owner’s notice, provide its Recovery Plan to Owner notwithstanding whether or not Contractor disputes responsibility for the cause(s) of such delays.

Within fifteen (15) calendar days after submission of the Recovery Plan by Contractor, Owner shall advise Contractor in writing whether or not to proceed with the Recovery Plan as submitted, or in accordance with reasonable revisions thereto established by Owner. Any such notice to proceed shall be by a Construction Change Directive. As part of such notice, Owner shall have the right to require Contractor to work its own construction crews and Subcontractors and other personnel overtime, and to direct Contractor to take all other necessary action, including, without limitation, increasing the number of personnel and implementing double shifts, all at no increase to the Guaranteed Maximum Price, subject to paragraph 2.2 of the Addendum to the AIA 111. Such overtime work and other actions shall continue until such time as the Work has progressed so that it complies with the stage of completion required by the then most recently Owner approved Project Schedule. Additional costs incurred due to such overtime work and other actions shall not result in any adjustment in the Guaranteed Maximum Price, subject to paragraph 2.2 of the AIA 111. In the event such Recovery Plan is implemented due to delays beyond the control of Contractor, the Guaranteed Maximum Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the Contract Documents.

Contractor’s failure after written notice to provide a Recovery Plan within the time requirements and to the extent required in this Section, or to immediately implement a Recovery Plan upon receipt of a Construction Change Directive to do so, shall be breaches of this Contract.”

8.3.7

The following is added as Section 8.3.7 of the General Conditions:

- 33 -

Upon receipt of such Construction Change Directive, Contractor shall require its personnel and its Subcontractors and Vendors to work such overtime hours and/or to increase their respective work forces as are reasonably necessary to comply with the Construction Change Directive.

In the event such an acceleration is ordered by Owner, Contractor shall be entitled to an adjustment in the Guaranteed Maximum Price determined in accordance with the Contract.

In case of disagreements or disputes regarding the schedule of Work by other contractors or unnecessary interference to the Work caused by lack of cooperation between other contractors and Contractor, Contractor shall fully cooperate with Owner to resolve any disputes with or between other contractors. In case of disagreements or disputes between two or more contractors, Owner shall be notified, and dispute resolved in accordance with the Contract Documents.

8.3.8

The following is added as Section 8.3.8 of the General Conditions:

9.1.2

The following is added as Section 9.1.2 of the General Conditions:

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Contract Documents, if and for so long as Contractor fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder or otherwise is in default under any of the Contract Documents as provided in paragraph 9.6.1 of the Supplementary General Conditions, Owner shall have the right to withhold such reasonable amounts and payments to Contractor to protect Owner against and/or compensate Owner for any damage, cost, expense and loss attributable thereto, to cure any breach, default or failure to perform, and/or to assure the payment of Claims of such third persons, and at Owner’s option to apply such sums in such manner as Owner may reasonably deem necessary or proper to secure protection from and/or to satisfy such Claims. Owner shall not be deemed in default by reason of withholding payment pursuant to this provision under the Contract in good faith. A Certificate for Payment, a progress payment,

- 34 -

or partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the Owner shall not constitute waiver of rights or acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents. Contractor shall not be entitled to receive payment on any portion of an Application for Payment that is inaccurate or incomplete or that contains any material misrepresentation. The rights and remedies of Owner under this Section shall be non-exclusive and shall be in addition to all other remedies available to Owner under the Contract Documents or at law, in equity or otherwise.”

All items with entered values will be transferred by Contractor to the “Application for Payment,” and shall include the latest approved Change Orders and Construction Change Directives. Change Order values and Construction Change Directive values shall be broken down to show the various sub-contracts. The Application for Payment shall be on a form approved by Owner.

All blanks and columns must be filled in, including each percentage complete figure.”

9.2.1.1

The following is added as Section 9.2.1.1 of the General Conditions:

“The schedule of values shall be submitted before commencement of the Work or Contractor’s first Application for Payment, whichever is earlier, and shall not be used for payment purposes until reviewed and approved by Owner. If at any point during the Work it appears that any aspect of the schedule of values is incomplete or inaccurate, the schedule of values shall, with the Owner’s prior approval, be adjusted to reflect accurately the values of the various portions of the Work.”

9.3.1

The following is added to the end of Section 9.3.1 of the General Conditions:

“Each Application for Payment shall be sequentially numbered, and shall clearly identify, itemize and attribute all Costs of the Work in a manner which facilitates review by Owner. Such Applications for Payment may only request payment for Costs of the Work actually incurred prior to the date of such Application for Payment and may not include requests for payment of amounts Contractor does not intend to pay promptly to a Subcontractor or Vendor because of a dispute or other reason. Contractor shall not submit more than one Application for Payment per month, unless otherwise requested by Owner. In addition, each Application for Payment shall separately identify and itemize the following:

(c)

For each category and portion of the Work as shown on the schedule of values: (1) the amount requested on all previous Applications for Payment, (2) the amount requested on the current Application for Payment, and (3) the amount allocated to the Work yet to be completed.

(e)

Amounts due which are attributable to the Contractor’s Fee earned as a result of the completion of Contractor’s scope of Work during such period covered by and included in the Application for Payment and approved by Owner.

(f)

For all amounts due as the result of Change Orders and Construction Change Directives, the Contractor shall make submittals for each Change Order and Construction Change Directive.

(g)

Reflect Retainage.

(h)

Such additional information and documentation regarding the progress of the Work as Owner or Owner’s Lenders may reasonably require.

Contractor shall support its Applications for Payment with relevant documentary evidence for cost verification purposes as Owner and Owner’s Lenders may reasonably require. This obligation shall include providing Owner with such supporting documentation as necessary to enable Owner to verify Costs of the Work, including any Costs of the Work attributable to Change Orders or Construction Change Directives. To the extent requested by Owner, this shall include providing audit access to Contractor’s books and records.”

9.3.1.3

The following is added as Section 9.3.1.3 of the General Conditions:

“Each Application for Payment shall include signed and acknowledged (by a notary) Unconditional Waivers and Releases of Liens Upon Progress Payment in the form to be mutually agreed to by the parties from Contractor and each

- 36 -

Subcontractor, and each Vendor with regard to Work that was covered by the immediately preceding Application for Payment. Owner’s receipt of such executed and acknowledged waivers shall be a condition precedent to Owner’s obligation to pay any amounts pertaining thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to all other terms of this Agreement, to the extent Contractor fails to provide any of the foregoing waivers and releases of lien when required (“Outstanding Releases”), Contractor shall provide to Owner’s and Owner’s Lenders’ title insurers, from time to time upon Owner’s request and as a condition to any progress or other payment to Contractor, such affidavits, indemnities, certificates, bonds, and other instruments as such title insurers require to issue to Owner and Owner’s Lenders, as a condition to any progress or other payment to Contractor, one or more indorsements to their respective title insurance policies insuring the lien free status of the Work (Contractor’s failure to cause the title insurer to provide the required indorsement(s) shall be a breach of the Contract); provided, however, that at no time shall the aggregate of all Outstanding. Releases represent Work with an aggregate value in excess of $250,000.00. In addition, Owner may at any time direct Contractor to submit an affidavit that all payrolls, invoices for material and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work and associated with an Application For Payment have been paid.”

9.3.1.4

The following is added as Section 9.3.1.4 of the General Conditions:

Notwithstanding the breakdown or categorization of any costs in Article 7 of the Agreement or elsewhere in the Contract Documents, there shall be no duplication of payment in the event any particular items for which payment is requested can be characterized as falling into more than one of the types of compensable or reimbursable categories.

9.3.3

The following is added in lieu of Section 9.3.3 of the General Conditions:

“Contractor warrants and agrees that title to all Work will pass to Owner upon the receipt of payment therefor by Contractor, free and clear of all liens, Claims, privileges, notices, security interests, or encumbrances whatsoever; that the vesting of such title shall not impose any obligations on Owner or relieve Contractor of any of its obligations under the Contract; that Contractor shall remain responsible for damage to or loss of the Work, whether completed or under construction, until responsibility for the Work has been accepted by Owner in the manner set forth in the Contract Documents; and that no Work covered by an Application for Payment will have been acquired by Contractor, or by any other person performing Work at the site or furnishing materials and equipment for the Project, subject to an agreement under which an interest therein or an encumbrance thereon is retained by the seller or otherwise imposed by Contractor or such other person.”

9.3.4

The following is added as Section 9.3.4 of the General Conditions:

“Owner shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to Contractor, to issue one or more checks for portions of a progress payment and Final Payment which are payable jointly to Contractor and its Subcontractors or Vendors of any tier or the parties owed. This right includes, but is not limited to, issuing jointly payable checks in circumstances where a dispute exists between Owner and Contractor with respect to the value of any

- 37 -

partially or fully completed Work, including disputed Construction Change Directive and Claims, and circumstances where Contractor has failed to provide lien waiver documents as required herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Contractor fails, neglects, or refuses to pay for labor or services performed or materials or equipment supplied in connection with the Work as payments become due, except as permitted under the Contract Documents, Owner shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make payments directly for any and all such labor, materials, or equipment and to deduct the amount of such payment from any payments otherwise due Contractor and from the Guaranteed Maximum Price. Owner shall have the right upon five (5) days prior written notice to stop the performance of the Work by Contractor until payment of all amounts due and owing has been made, provided, however, Owner shall not have any duty to stop the Work.”

9.3.5

The following is added as Section 9.3.5 of the General Conditions:

“Materials Off-Site. In order for Contractor to receive reimbursement for materials purchased for the Work, all materials which are the subject of an Application for Payment (or Application for Final Payment, if applicable) shall be stored at all times at the Project, in a secured facility satisfactory to Owner and Owner’s Lenders, or at the premises of the manufacturer or fabricator (in which event the materials shall be appropriately marked and identified with the applicable purchase contract and physically segregated in an area with access to a public street), until the materials are incorporated into the Project; provided that if the materials are stored with the manufacturer or fabricator, Owner must receive evidence satisfactory to Owner of the creditworthiness of the manufacturer or fabricator and/or Contractor shall procure and deliver or cause to be procured and delivered to Owner such dual obligee performance and labor and material payment bond or bonds, in form, substance and amount satisfactory to Owner and Owner’s Lenders, as Owner and Owner’s Lenders may require. Furthermore, Contractor shall:

9.3.5.1

use the materials only for construction of the Project, and not make any transfer thereof or permit any lien, Claim or privilege to attach thereto which could materially impair the ability of Owner to use the materials for such purpose;

9.3.5.2

take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to maintain, preserve and protect the materials and keep them in good condition and repair, and to comply with all laws, regulations and ordinances relating to the ownership, storage or use of the materials;

9.3.5.3

upon Owner’s request cause to be delivered to Owner any applicable bailee waivers where such bailee rights exists, and the original warehouse receipt covering any stored materials, and shall be responsible to make sure that such stored materials have been and are stored in such a way as to eliminate the possibility that they will be commingled with other materials or projects and provide to Owner and Owner’s Lenders a written acknowledgement of the person having custody of such materials of the existence of Owner’s Lender’s lien on such materials and the right of access of Owner and Owner’s Lenders to such materials and right to remove them when Owner is in default with Owner’s Lenders; and

- 38 -

9.3.5.4

if Contractor shall fail to perform any of its obligations under this Section after Owner has made payment to Contractor for the materials after 5 days written notice to Contractor and Contractor’s failure to cure within that time, Owner or Owner’s Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, take such actions and expend such sums as are necessary in Owner’s judgment to protect and preserve Owner’s and Owner’s Lenders’ security interest in such materials, and all such expenditures so incurred (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) shall be repayable by Contractor promptly on demand and shall be non-allowable Costs of the Work.

9.6.1

Section 9.6.1of the General Conditions is amended by adding the following at the end of that Paragraph:

“Such payment by Owner shall not constitute approval or acceptance of any item of cost in the Application for Payment. No partial payment made hereunder shall be or be construed to be final acceptance or approval of that portion of the Work to which such partial payment relates or relieve the Contractor of any of its obligations hereunder. Owner may refuse to make payment in whole or in part, in an amount necessary, as reasonably determined by Owner, to protect and/or compensate Owner with regard to any of the events below in Section 9.6.1.1-9.6.1.20, including Final Payment, for any of the reasons set forth below. Owner shall not be deemed in default by reason of withholding such payment while any of such events remain uncured.

9.6.1.1

The overall percentage of Work satisfactorily completed by Contractor and each relevant Subcontractor and/or Vendor (determined by comparing the amount of Work satisfactorily completed to the total amount of Work to be completed), is less than the overall percentage of payments determined by comparing (i) the sum of (a) all amounts previously paid by Owner; and (b) the pending invoice to be paid, to (ii) the total amount of the Cost of the Work within the Guaranteed Maximum Price.

Owner shall not be bound by any entries in previous Applications for Payment and shall be permitted to make corrections for errors therein. Owner’s final Contractor’s Fee installment payment and Final Payment shall in no way relieve Contractor of any obligations or responsibilities under the Construction Documents which extend beyond the date of such payment.”

9.8.1

Section 9.8.1 of the General Conditions is amended by adding the following at the end of that Paragraph

“The Work will not be considered suitable for Substantial Completion review until (a) the Work in its entirety, or a designated portion thereof which Owner agrees to accept separately, is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents and all applicable Laws to enable Owner to fully occupy and utilize the Work, or such designated portion thereof which is requested in writing by Owner, for all of its intended purposes and all aspects of such Work and the Project can be open to the general public; (b) all Project systems included in the Work (including, without limitation, all life safety systems) are operational and functioning as designed and scheduled; (c) all instruction of Owner’s personnel in the operation of the Project systems has been completed; (d) all final finishes within the Contract are in place; (e) the Work is otherwise satisfactory to Owner in accordance with the Contract Documents; and (f) no liens, claims or encumbrances have been filed or are outstanding with respect to the Work unless they have been resolved or bonded around in compliance with Section 3.19.1 hereof. In general, the only remaining Work shall be minor in nature, so that Owner could occupy the building(s) comprising the Project and fully utilize such building(s) on that date, and all elements are fully functionable and operable as provided in the Contract, and the Final Completion of the Work by Contractor would not materially interfere with, disrupt or hamper Owner’s use, occupancy or enjoyment of the Project, including the intended normal business operations of the Project, or detract from the aesthetic appearance of the Project. As a further condition of Substantial Completion acceptance, Contractor shall certify that all remaining Work will be completed within thirty (30) consecutive calendar days or as agreed upon following the date of Substantial Completion.”

9.8.5

The following is added at the end of Section 9.8.5 of the General Conditions:

“Payment by Owner upon Substantial Completion shall be in consideration of Contractor’s agreement to complete all final punch list items. Owner may retain a

- 42 -

sum equal to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the costs estimated by Owner necessary to complete any such punch list items. Thereafter, Owner shall pay to the Contractor monthly the amounts retained for such punch list items to the extent that each punch list item is satisfactorily completed by Contractor and accepted by Owner and pursuant to an approved Application for Payment.”

9.8.6

The following is added at the end of Section 9.8.6 of the General Conditions:

“Procedures For Substantial Completion. In addition to the other provisions of this Article 9, procedures to be utilized to determine Substantial Completion of the Work in its entirety, or a designated portion thereof, shall be as follows:

9.8.6.1

Either party may initiate procedures for Substantial Completion of the Work in its entirety or a designated portion thereof, but Owner shall not be required to make a determination and accept partial Substantial Completion unless: (a) specific areas or phases of the Work are designated for partial Substantial Completion by Owner; or (b) Owner assumes physical possession of a portion of the Work solely for purposes of Owner’s full use and occupancy. The use or occupancy of a portion of the Work by Owner or its other contractors to inspect and/or correct defective workmanship pursuant to the Contract Documents shall not be considered as use and occupancy.

9.8.6.2

Unless waived by Owner in writing, Substantial Completion of either the Work in its entirety or a designated portion thereof shall not occur earlier than the date of all designated or required governmental certificates of occupancy and other permits, inspections and certifications for the Project or such portion thereof as the case may be, have been achieved and issued to Owner by the relevant governmental authority, and posted for the Project or such portion thereof, by the relevant governmental authority (provided that a temporary certificate of occupancy (“TCO”) rather than a permanent certificate of occupancy may have been achieved and issued to Owner, and posted, so long as the obtaining of a TCO, rather than a permanent, certificate of occupancy does not prevent any aspect of the Project from being open to the general public). Provided, however, if Contractor has fully complied with and performed all of its obligations under the Contract Documents and is not in default, but is unable to obtain a TCO through no fault, act or omission of Contractor or any party for whom Contractor is responsible, including, but not limited to, any Subcontractor or Vendor, such failure to obtain a TCO shall not alone be a bar to Substantial Completion.

9.8.6.3

If Owner or Owner’s Lenders disagree that Substantial Completion has been achieved, Owner shall provide the Contractor with a list of the items which should be completed or corrected for purposes of Substantial Completion. Owner’s failure to advise Contractor of any items specified in the Contract Documents shall not alter the Contractor’s responsibility to complete all Work necessary for Substantial Completion in accordance with the Contract Documents.

- 43 -

9.8.6.4

Upon receipt of Owner’s list, Contractor shall complete and/or correct all listed items. Contractor shall then submit its request to Owner for another inspection to determine Substantial Completion. Such subsequent inspection or re-inspections to determine if the Work is acceptable for purposes of Substantial Completion shall be made jointly by Owner and Contractor.

9.8.6.5

Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion by Owner, the parties shall develop a final punch list which must be completed prior to Final Completion. The final punch list shall include the Contractor’s punch list items and other incomplete or missing items which Owner elected in its discretion to waive for purposes of Substantial Completion.

9.8.6.6

Immediately prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion, Owner and Contractor shall jointly inspect and document the condition of the Work, or designated portion thereof, at the time of Owner’s initial possession to determine and record its condition. Such inspection and acceptance by Owner shall not, however, alter the Contractor’s responsibility to complete all Work necessary for Final Completion in accordance with the Contract Documents, including items discovered by Owner after Substantial Completion.

9.8.6.7

When Owner determines that the Work in its entirety, or a designated portion thereof, is substantially complete in accordance with the Contract Documents, Owner shall prepare and issue a “Certificate of Substantial Completion,” which shall certify the date of Substantial Completion.

9.9.1

Section 9.9.1 of the General Conditions is amended by adding the following after the end of that paragraph:

“Contractor’s consent to early or partial occupancy by Owner is not required. If Contractor has any objection or concern relating to Owner’s earlier partial occupancy of any part of the Work, Contractor shall promptly inform Owner of such objection or concern in writing as a Claim or request for a Change Order.”

9.9.3

The following is added in lieu of Section 9.9.3 of the General Conditions:

“In the event of partial occupancy before Substantial Completion as provided above, Contractor shall cooperate with the Owner in making available for Owner’s use and benefit building services such as heating, ventilation, security, cooling, water, lighting, telephone, and security for the portion or portions to be occupied, and if the Work required to furnish these services is not entirely completed at the time Owner desires to occupy the aforesaid portion or portions, Contractor shall make every reasonable effort to complete such Work or make temporary provisions for such Work as soon as possible so that the aforementioned building services may be put into operation and use.”

- 44 -

9.9.4

The following is added as Section 9.9.4 of the General Conditions:

“In the event of partial occupancy prior to Substantial Completion, mutually acceptable arrangements shall be made between Owner and Contractor in respect of the operation and cost of necessary security and maintenance. Further, mutually acceptable arrangements shall be made between Owner and Contractor in respect of insurance and damage to the Work. Contractor’s acceptance of arrangements proposed by Owner in respect of these matters shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.”

9.9.5

The following is added as Section 9.9.5 of the General Conditions:

“It shall be understood, however, that partial occupancy shall not: (1) constitute final acceptance of any Work, or (2) relieve the Contractor of responsibility for loss or damage because of or arising out of defects in, or malfunctioning of, any Work, material, or equipment, or from any other unfulfilled obligations or responsibilities under the Contract Documents; provided that Contractor shall not be liable for ordinary wear and tear resulting from such partial occupancy.”

9.9.6

The following is added as Section 9.9.6 of the General Conditions:

“Subject to the terms and conditions provided herein, if Contractor Claims that delay or additional cost is involved because of partial occupancy by the Owner, Contractor shall make Claims as provided elsewhere in the Contract Documents.”

The following is added as Section 9.10.2.1 of the General Conditions:

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Contract Documents (except subject to Section 9.6.1 allowing Owner to holdback portions of the Final Payment), neither Final Payment nor any retained percentage shall become due to Contractor until the following have occurred: Owner and Owner’s Lenders determine that the Work has been properly completed and equipped by Contractor in accordance with the Contract Documents, including (a) completion of all punch list items, (b) the submittal to Owner of all documentation as described in the Contract Documents, (c) completion in compliance with all applicable Laws, and (d) all obligations of Contractor under the Contract Documents (except for those obligations which are intended to be satisfied after Final Completion) are fully satisfied. When Contractor considers that the Work is finally complete, Contractor shall so notify Owner in writing requesting a Certificate of Final Completion. Such notice shall be accompanied by, and it shall be a condition to Final Payment and Final Completion that Contractor deliver to Owner, the following:

(a)

Conditional Final Lien Waivers from Contractor and all Subcontractors and Vendors (except from those parties that have previously filed lien or liens and such liens have not been satisfied but have been cancelled and released of record pursuant to a bond in accordance with the Contract, but only to the extent of the amounts in dispute and approved by Owner and Owner’s Lenders), in the form as mutually agreed, including certified copies of waivers of all liens filed during the course of the Work and not previously provided to Owner, and no liens, Claims, notices, privileges or

- 45 -

other encumbrances have been filed or are outstanding with respect to the whole or any part of or interest in either the site or the Work. Unconditional Final Lien Waivers from Contractor and all Subcontractors and Vendors will be provided after receipt of Final Payment. The amount of Final Payment will be withheld only to the extent such withholding is necessary to protect the Owner from such liens for which Contractor is responsible under this paragraph.

(b)

All final occupancy certificates obtained from any government authority and all other required approvals and acceptances as necessary or required for the full use and occupancy of all aspects of the Project by any city, county and state authorities having jurisdiction and not previously provided to Owner. Provided, however, if Contractor has complied with and performed all of its obligations under the Contract Documents and is not in default, but is unable to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy through no fault of Contractor or any party for whom Contractor is responsible, including but not limited to any Subcontractor, such failure to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy, shall not alone be a bar to Final Completion.

(c)

All written guarantees and warranties under the Contract for Contractor and Subcontractors and Vendors, all required operation and maintenance manuals for major equipment required under the Contract all in form and substance satisfactory to Owner; and assignment documentation assigning to Owner in form and substance satisfactory to Owner any remaining warranties and guarantees pertaining to the Work and not previously provided and assigned to Owner, and Contractor agrees to assist Owner in the prosecution and enforcement of all such assigned warranties and guarantees.

(d)

An affidavit certifying that Contractor has timely paid all federal, state and local taxes due arising out of the Work in a form satisfactory to Owner.

(e)

All operating, maintenance, servicing and cleaning manuals and instructions, spare parts, maintenance stocks and spare materials provided by Subcontractors and Vendors and/or reasonably required by Owner for beneficial use of the Work for its intended purpose, and if requested by Owner adequate verbal instructions in the operation of mechanical, electrical, plumbing and other systems.

14.3.2.2

Provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made to the extent that performance was otherwise subject to suspension, delay or interruption by another cause for which Contractor is responsible.

14.4

Limitations. Owner shall have no liability to Contractor or any Subcontractor or Vendor, and Contractor nor any Subcontractor or Vendor will make and they hereby waive any Claim for (a) compensation, expenses, additional fees or anticipated profits for unperformed Work, (b) delays, acceleration or disruption (except solely for extensions in the Contract Time or increases in the Guaranteed Maximum Price for an Owner Delay or Force Majeure solely to the extent and as

14.6	Contractor’s Remedies

14.6.1 If payment from Owner for an Application for Payment (exclusive of amounts properly retained or withheld under the Contract), approved by Owner and Owner’s Lenders in accordance with the Contract, has not been received by Contractor within fifteen (15) days of the date payment is due pursuant to the Contract, interest shall thereafter commence to accrue (from the original due date of payment pursuant to the Contract) on such delinquent amounts at then existing prime rate of Bank of America N.A. plus one percent (1%) as announced in the Wall Street Journal, until paid, and Contractor may thereafter upon written notice to Owner cease Work until such payment has been received, in which case the date for Substantial Completion will be extended by the number of days of the cessation of Work and the Guaranteed Maximum Price adjusted, subject to the provisions of Section 8.3 hereof.

Contractor, notwithstanding any provision of the Contract or otherwise, shall in no event be entitled to or seek recovery of any other amounts and shall be subject to Section 14.4 hereof (including, without limitation, consequential damages, lost profits, overhead, or similar amounts) in the event of any termination, including but not limited to under this Section 14.6.”

COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT AND CONSENT

COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT

This Collateral Assignment of Construction Contract (this “Assignment”) is made as of , 2007, by CASINO ONE CORPORATION, a Mississippi corporation (“Assignor”), to and for the benefit of LEHMAN COMMERCIAL PAPER INC., in its capacity as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”) for the lenders (collectively, “Lenders”) from time to time party to that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement executed as of December 14, 2005 (the “Credit Agreement”) among Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), Lenders and Administrative Agent, among others. Except as otherwise provided in this Assignment, capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

A. Assignor has entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Subsidiary Guaranty dated as of December 14, 2005 (“Subsidiary Guaranty”), whereby Assignor, among other things, guaranteed and promised to pay and perform on demand the obligations of Borrower owed to Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents.

B. Borrower and Assignor intend to construct the St. Louis City Project, as defined and described in the Credit Agreement, in St. Louis, Missouri, on the real property described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Land”).

C. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to provide financing for the construction of the St. Louis City Project on the terms and conditions set forth therein. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Assignor is required to execute and deliver this Assignment to the Administrative Agent as security for the performance of Assignor’s obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty.

NOW THEREFORE, Assignor hereby agrees as follows:

1. Assignor hereby assigns, conveys and transfers to Administrative Agent, and grants a security interest to Administrative Agent in and to, as security for Assignor’s obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty, all of Assignor’s right, title, interest, privilege, benefit and remedies in, to and under the following:

(a) the prime construction contract for the St. Louis City Project dated , 2007, entered into between McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. (the “Contractor”) and the Assignor (the “Construction Contract”); and

(b) any and all present and future amendments, modifications, supplements, change orders and addenda to the Construction Contract.

A complete copy of the Construction Contract is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

2. (a) Assignor agrees to use all reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Administrative Agent, concurrently with its delivery of this Assignment, a Consent to Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (“Consent”) from the Contractor.

(b) This Assignment and the Consent hereto do not relieve Assignor of, or modify or expand any of, its obligations under the Construction Contract. Administrative Agent does not hereby assume any of Assignor’s obligations or duties concerning the Construction Contract, including, without limitation, any obligation to pay for the work done pursuant thereto.

3. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement and subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement (and nothing in this Assignment is intended or shall be deemed, to supplement, modify, amend, replace or supersede any provisions of the Credit Agreement), Administrative Agent may, at its option, upon written notice to the Contractor, exercise any or all of the rights and remedies granted to Assignor under the Construction Contract as if Administrative Agent had been an original party to the Construction Contract. Administrative Agent may elect to assume all of the obligations of Assignor under the Construction Contract by giving notice to that effect to the Contractor; provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall cure all monetary defaults of Assignor under the Construction Contract occurring prior to the time Administrative Agent gives such notice to the Contractor, (it being understood that Administrative Agent shall thereafter be responsible for all obligations of Assignor under the Construction Contract).

4. Assignor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, which power is coupled with an interest, so that Administrative Agent shall have the right upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement to demand, receive and enforce Assignor’s rights with respect to the Construction Contract, to give appropriate receipts, releases and satisfactions for and on behalf of Assignor with regard to the Construction Contract and to do any and all acts in the name of Assignor or in the name of Administrative Agent with regard to the Construction Contract with the same force and effect as Assignor could have done.

5. Assignor hereby represents and warrants to Administrative Agent that no assignment by Assignor of the Construction Contract (other than this Assignment) has been made, and Assignor agrees not to assign, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise encumber its interest in the Construction Contract so long as this Assignment is in effect, except as otherwise not prohibited in the Credit Agreement. Assignor represents and warrants that the copy of the Construction Contract provided by Assignor to Administrative Agent is the complete and entire agreement between the parties thereto respecting the construction of the St. Louis City Project as of the date of the execution thereof.

6. If any provision of this Assignment shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall not affect or impair the validity, legality and enforceability of the other provisions of this Assignment. This Assignment may not be amended, modified or changed, nor shall any waiver of any provision hereof be effective, except by a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of the waiver, amendment, change, or modification is sought.

7. This Assignment shall be binding upon Assignor and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns. Administrative Agent may assign all or any portion of its interest in the Construction Contract or its rights created hereunder and, in such event, Assignor, at its sole

- 2 -

expense, shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such additional documents, instruments and agreements as may be reasonably required by Administrative Agent in connection with any such assignment and consistent with the Credit Agreement.

8. Upon the satisfaction of all obligations of Borrower to Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, this Assignment shall automatically terminate.

9. This Assignment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Assignor has caused this Assignment to be executed as of the date first set forth above.
