XI.
INDEMNITY.
 
11.1
Indemnification by Contractor. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless Owner, Owner’s parent companies and their subsidiaries, Architect, if any, and their agents, employees, officers and attorneys (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities or expenses of any kind (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not designated a party thereto) which may be suffered by, incurred by or threatened against an Indemnified Party on account of, in connection with, or resulting from (A) the performance or nonperformance of the Work; (B) Contractor's default under this Contract or the Contract Documents which is not cured within any applicable grace period; (C) the act, omission, negligence or willful misconduct of Contractor or anyone employed by Contractor or for whose acts or omissions Contractor is liable; (D) any assertion of claims for mechanics' or other liens or any security interest for which Contractor is responsible; (E) any injury, illness or death of any employee or subcontractor of Contractor engaged or participating in the performance of the Work; (F) any infringement of any patent, copyright or trade secret in performing the Work; (G) any injury, illness or death or property damage arising from the Work; or (H) any failure of the Work to comply with Laws. The obligations of Contractor under this indemnification shall apply to all matters except those arising solely from the negligence or the acts or omissions of Owner.

 

11.2
Defense of Claims. Contractor shall promptly advise Owner in writing of any action, administrative or legal proceeding or investigation as to which Contractor’s indemnification may apply, and Contractor, at Contractor's expense, provided that the indemnification applies, shall assume on behalf of Owner and conduct with due diligence and in good faith the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Owner; provided, that if the defendants in any such action include both Contractor and Owner and Owner shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to, or inconsistent with, those available to Contractor, Owner shall have the right to select separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on its own behalf at Contractor's expense.

 

XII.
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND SAFETY. All Work to be furnished by Contractor must comply with all applicable Laws now in force or hereafter in effect. Without limiting the foregoing, Contractor is responsible for all OSHA compliance. Contractor shall comply in all material respects with all applicable safety Laws established during the progress of the Work.

 

XIII.
WARRANTIES.
13.1
Warranty by Contractor. Contractor represents and warrants that all Work, materials and services furnished pursuant to the Contract are and shall be free from liens, claims, security interests, encumbrance, and defects, in conformity with the Contract Documents and are of merchantable quality and new. Contractor further represents and warrants that all Work shall be substantially in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents and applicable Laws. All Work not conforming to the foregoing shall be considered defective. If within one (1) year after the date of Substantial Completion, any Work is found not to be in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Owner shall notify Contractor of any deficiency with specificity prior to the expiration of the one (1) year period, and it shall be corrected by the Contractor after receipt of written notice from the Owner. Contractor shall have no obligation to perform any warranty work should Owner not notify the Contractor of any deficiencies within the one (1) year period. Subject to the one (1) year warranty, neither the final payment nor any provision of the Contract Documents nor partial or entire occupancy of the Project by the Owner shall relieve the Contractor of liability under either any warranties or Contractor's responsibility for faulty materials or workmanship.

Contractor's warranty described in this Section shall continue for a longer period if specified in the Contract Documents for special warranties. The foregoing specific warranties are in addition to warranties furnished by all manufacturers and suppliers to Contractor which shall be assigned to, and enforced by, Owner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Contractor be required to correct any deficiencies caused by the misuse, negligence, acts or omissions of Owner, its employees, agents, invitees or contractors.

 

13.2
Correction of Work Damaged by Contractor. Subject to the one (1) year warranty, Contractor shall promptly remedy all damage or loss to any person, property, materials or Work caused in whole or in part by Contractor or anyone for whose acts Contractor may be liable, except such portion of any damage or loss solely attributable or arising solely from the negligence or the acts or omissions of Owner.

 

XIV.
PERFORMANCE.
14.1
Contractor Default. In the event of a default by Contractor in the performance of its obligations hereunder which is not cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice from Owner to Contractor, Owner shall be entitled to all rights and remedies specified for such default as set forth below; should the default be incapable of being cured within fifteen (15) days, the cure period shall be extended for such time period as necessary to cure the default provided that the Contractor commences the cure of the default within the fifteen (15) day period. No rights or remedies of Owner shall be in the alternative or exclusive, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative with each other and with those available at law or equity or both.
14.2
Correction of Work. The existence of any defective Work or breach of Contractor's warranty shall be a default subject to the notice and cure period specified in Section 14.1. Contractor shall correct any such Work which is defective or fails to conform to the Contract Documents whether observed before or after Substantial Completion or final completion and whether or not fabricated, installed or completed, and Contractor shall bear all costs of correcting such defective or rejected Work including costs incidental thereto, subject to the one (1) year warranty. Contractor shall remove from the Site all portions of the Work which are defective or nonconforming and which have not been corrected unless removal is waived in writing by Owner.

 

14.3
Curing By Owner. If Contractor fails to cure the default within the period specified in Section 14.1, Owner may, without further notice to Contractor: (A) take any action Owner deems necessary to make good such deficiencies; (B) order the Work stopped; (C) remove the non- conforming Work at Contractor's expense; or (D) terminate this Contract. In such case, an appropriate Change Order shall be issued deducting from the payments then or thereafter due Contractor the actual cost of correcting such deficiencies, including materials, equipment or supplies and other services made necessary by such default, neglect or failure. If the payments then or thereafter due Contractor are not sufficient to cover such amount, Contractor shall pay the difference to Owner within ten (10) days of Owner's written demand. Nothing contained herein shall, however, require Owner to take such action as herein provided or shall waive or release Contractor from any of its obligations.

 

14.4
Bankruptcy. If Contractor is adjudged a bankrupt, or if it makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or if a receiver is appointed on account of its insolvency, or (B) if Contractor refuses or fails to supply enough properly skilled workmen or proper materials, Owner may elect to terminate this Contract.

 

14.5
Termination, Should Owner terminate this Contract in accordance with the foregoing provisions, upon such termination, Owner may take possession of the Site and of all materials, equipment, tools, and construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by Contractor and may finish the Work.

The provisions of Section 14.5 shall not be modified by the terms of any bond. Upon a termination under this Contract, Owner shall pay Contractor for all Work performed in accordance with the Contract Documents as of the date of termination, to be paid after completion of the Work and subject to the remainder of this Section. If the amount incurred by Owner to finish the Work without using Contractor, plus all reasonable related costs thereto incurred by Owner, (collectively, "Owner's Costs") exceed the Contract Sum, Contractor shall pay the difference to Owner within fifteen (15) days after Owner's written demand.
14.6
Owner Defaults. In the event of a default by Owner under the Contract Documents which is not cured within ten (10) days after written notice from Contractor to Owner, Contractor shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies, to the following rights. If Owner defaults hereunder or does not pay any payments to Contractor when and as required under the Contract, then Contractor may stop the Work until payment of the amount owing has been received. Owner shall grant a reasonable adjustment to the construction schedule and Contract Sum following Contractor's stopping the Work pursuant to this Section. If payment is not received by Contractor within fifteen (15) days of such Work stoppage, then Contractor shall have the right to terminate this Contract. If Contractor terminates the Contract, Contractor may recover from Owner the sum of: (A) payment for all Work performed including profit earned and that which would be earned if no default had occurred, for any loss sustained upon any materials, equipment, tools, and construction equipment and machinery (provided that the amount in Subsection (A) shall not exceed the Contract Sum less a reasonable estimate of the cost to complete the Work), minus(B) the portion of the Contract Sum previously paid.
14.7
Owner's Right to Suspend Work. Owner may, with or without cause and in its sole discretion, order Contractor in writing to suspend, delay or interrupt the Work in whole or in part for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) days. Nothing in this provision shall give Contractor any right to a termination or to an adjustment in Contract Sum, provided that the construction schedule shall be equitably adjusted.

 

XV
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
15.1
Application of Resolution Provisions. The mediation and arbitration provisions of this Contract set forth below shall apply to disputes between Owner and Contractor related to or arising out of this Contract or any Contract Documents.
15.2
Mediation and Arbitration. Any controversy, claim, or dispute of whatever nature arising between the Parties, including any issues of arbitrability (a “Dispute”) shall be resolved by mediation or, failing mediation, by binding arbitration. This agreement to mediate and, if necessary, arbitrate shall continue in full force and effect despite the expiration, rescission, or termination of this Contract.

Either Party may begin the mediation process by giving a written notice to the other Party setting forth the nature of the Dispute. The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute by mediation within 30 days of receipt of that notice. If the Dispute has not been resolved by mediation as provided above, or if a Party fails to participate in a mediation, then the Dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in the City and State where the Site is situated. The arbitration shall be undertaken pursuant to the substantive laws of the State where the Site is situated and the Federal Arbitration Act, and the decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties knowingly and voluntarily waive their rights to have their dispute tried and adjudicated by a judge or jury.

Any Party may demand arbitration as provided above by sending written notice to the other Party. The arbitration and the selection of the arbitrator(s) shall be conducted in accordance with such rules as may be agreed upon by the parties, or, failing agreement within thirty (30) days after arbitration is demanded, under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as such rules may be modified by this Agreement. In any Dispute that involves more than one million dollars in damages, three arbitrators shall be used; the decision of a majority of the arbitrators shall be binding on the Parties. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, they shall be limited in their discovery to directly relevant documents. The arbitrator(s) shall resolve any discovery disputes.

The arbitrator(s) shall have the authority to award actual money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the date due), specific performance, and temporary injunctive relief, but the arbitrator(s) shall not have the authority to award exemplary or punitive damages, and the Parties expressly waive any claimed right to receive money damages in excess of its actual compensatory damages. The costs of arbitration, but not the costs and expenses of the parties, shall be shared equally by the Parties. If a Party fails to proceed with arbitration, unsuccessfully challenges the arbitration award, or fails to comply with the arbitration award, the other Party is entitled to costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, for having to compel arbitration or defend or enforce the award. Except as otherwise required by law, the Parties agree to maintain as confidential all information or documents obtained during the arbitration process, including the resolution of the Dispute.

Notwithstanding the above, the Parties recognize that certain business relationships could give rise to the need for one or more of the Parties to seek emergency, provisional, or summary relief to repossess and sell or otherwise dispose of goods and/or fixtures, to prevent the sale or transfer of goods and/or fixtures, or to protect real or personal property from injury, and for injunctive relief. Immediately following the issuance of any such relief, the Parties agree to the stay of any judicial proceedings pending mediation or arbitration of all underlying Disputes.

The agreement to arbitrate shall continue in full force and effect despite the expiration, rescission or termination of this Contract.

The award rendered by the arbitrator or arbitrators shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable Law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
