The failure of the Contractor to report any apparent defect or deficiency in any Owner Supplied Items prior to the installation or incorporation of such Omer Supplied Items into the Work shall constitute an acknowledgement by Contractor that such Owner Supplied Items were fit and proper for installation and construction, except as to defects or deficiencies not then reasonably discernible. 2. The Responsibility Matrix divides the Omer Supplied Items into two (2) categories: (a) "Omer Supplied and Contractor Installed Items": and (b) "Omer Supplied and Owner Installed Items". Unless specific -ally identified in the Responsibility Matrix as an "Owner Supplied Item", Contractor is responsible to procure, deliver, protect and warrant all materials, equipment, products, parts, furniture, fixtures and related items, including hardware, supplies and accessories, required for the Work and all such items shall be deemed to have been designated as "Contractor Supplied and Contractor Installed Items".

In this regard, Contractor acknowledges that if rough in locations are commenced or set without proper coordination by Contractor, these locations may not be adequate or appropriate to fit the installation of the Omer Supplied Item and may result in additional costs and/or time should they need to be changed. Contractor shall be responsible for any extra costs or time caused by its failure to establish, commence or set rough in locations without first coordinating with the applicable vendor of the Owner Supplied Item (or for Contractor's failure to comply with the related instructions provided by the applicable vendor of the Owner Supplied Item) and for costs related to changes to any utility or other completed work on the Project (whether performed by Contractor or others) needed to fit and/or hook up the Omer Supplied Item in such event, except that Contractor shall not be responsible for such costs (or for any failure to coordinate with the vendor of the Omer Supplied Item, if such charges or costs are caused by the failure of the applicable vendor of the Owner Supplied Item to identify the applicable rough in work required to accommodate the applicable Owner Supplied Items in a timely or accurate fashion). In the event Contractor believes that any rough in location is inadequate or inappropriate, Contractor shall notify Owner with reasonable promptness and, if requested, shall provide Omer with recommendations as to how to modify the rough in locations to make the locations and rough -in adequate and appropriate.

The Contractor shall afford the Owner and separate contractors reasonable opportunity for introduction and storage of their materials and equipment and performance of their activities and shall connect and coordinate the Contractor's Work and operations with theirs as required by the Contract Documents. If part of the Contractors Work depends for proper execution or results upon construction or operations by the Omer or a separate contractor, the Contractor shall, prior to proceeding with that portion of the Work, promptly report to the Owner and Architect apparent discrepancies or defects in such other construction that would render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Failure of the Contractor to report any such apparent discrepancy or defect shall constitute an acknowledgment that the Owners or separate contractors' completed or partially completed construction is fit and proper to receive the Contractors Work, except as to defects not then reasonably discoverable. Costs caused by delays or by improperly timed activities or defective construction shall be borne by the party responsible therefor, The Contractor shall promptly remedy damage wrongfully caused by the Contractor to completed or partially completed construction or to property of the Omer or separate contractors as provided in Article 10.

A Change Order shall be based upon agreement between the Omer and Contractor. A CCD is issued by the Omer and may or may not be agreed to by the Contractor. Change Orders and CCDs shall be coordinated, issued and signed only by the Owners Representative. No other person or entity (including the Project Manager) shall have authority to issue or execute any Change Order or CCD or to direct any changes in the Work. An order for a minor change in the Work may be issued by the Architect alone. 2. The Contractor agrees to immediately perform the work that is the subject of any Change Order or CCD diligently and without delay. Changes in the Work shall be performed under applicable provisions of the Contract Documents, unless otherwise provided in the Change Order or CCD. If unit prices are stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon, and if quantities originally contemplated are so changed in a proposed Change Order or CCD that application of such unit prices to the quantities of Work proposed in the Change Order or CCD will cause substantial inequity to the Owner or Contractor, the applicable unit prices to be used forthe Change Order or CCD at issue shall be equitably adjusted pursuant to agreement between Omer and Contractor. A Change Order shall be based upon the agreement of the Owner and Contractor, shall be on the Owner's standard Change Order to" (without modification unless so approved by the Omer in writing), shall be signed by the Omer and the Contractor and shall contain: (1) a description of the change in the Work; (ii) the amount of the adjustment in the Contract Sum. if any; and (iii) the extent of the extension of the Completion Dates, if any.

The Owner may, at its sole and complete discretion, require the Contractor to perform and commence immediately any change in the Work, without agreement as to whether such change requires an increase in the Contract Sum and/or an extension of the Completion Dates, or if so, what increase and/or extension is required thereby, by issuing a CCD for such Work. If the Contractor disagrees with the method for adjustment in the Contract Sum, if any, set forth in any CCD issued by the Owner, the method and the adjustment shall be determined pursuant to the provisions of Article 4. paragraph 5 above. 4. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that the mere submission by Contractor of a request for a Change Order or CCD or the submission of any other claim (collectively a "COR) does not entitle Contractor to any increase in the Contract Sum or to any extension of the Completion Dates, and does not entitle Contractor to stop or slow dom any portion of the Work based upon such submission, and that the Owner fully reserves all of Omer's rights and positions with respect to any COR submitted by Contractor.

If Owner does not agree with a COR submitted by Contractor, Contractor shall be entitled to make a claim as permitted by the provisions of this Agreement, and in the event said claim is later determined to be valid, Contractor shall be entitled to an increase in the Contract Sum calculated pursuant to the provisions of Article 4, paragraph 5 herein.

The Contractor shall proceed promptly to complete and correct Items on the punch list. Failure to include an item on such punch list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

If the Architect's or Owners inspection discloses any item. whether or not included on the Contractor's punch list, which is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall, before issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion, complete or correct such item upon notification by the Architect or Omer.
