ARTICLE 13 LIEN WAIVER 13.1 Acceptance by Design/Builder of any payment from Owner for any invoice submitted shall constitute a lien waiver by Design/Builder for any and all work performed and materials supplied to the extent that such costs were included in that submitted invoice and Design/Builder shall provide written release waivers (Attachment C) with respect to such costs and materials. ARTICLE 14 COMPLETION DATE 14.1 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION. Design/Builder agrees to cause the Substantial Completion of the Work (as defined in subsection 31.8 of the General Conditions, Attachment D) on or before 790 calendar days from either January 12, 1998 or the date Notice to Proceed is received from Owner - whichever is later. Said period shall be known as the Contract Time and may only be adjusted in accordance with this Agreement. 14.2 TIME. Time limits stated in this Contract are of the essence. Design/Builder's failure to achieve Substantial Completion within the Contract Time specified in Article 14.1 shall be governed by the provisions of Article 14.3 below. 14.3 COMPENSATION FOR EARLY/LATE COMPLETION. In lieu of Owner procuring, at Design/Builder's cost, a liquidated damages insurance policy or a business interruption Design/Build Contract ______ December 9, 1997 Page 9 ______ insurance policy to compensate Owner for late completion of the Work, the parties agree as follows: Owner shall pay Design/Builder Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) as a Bonus Advance upon the issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Design/Builder may, at its option, use the Bonus Advance to purchase liquidated damages insurance or it may elect to self-insure. In either event, Design/Builder shall be entitled to keep the Bonus Advance as a bonus if the Project is Substantially Complete within the Contract Time. As a further bonus, Design/Builder shall be entitled to receive one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) for each day, up to but not to exceed ninety (90) days, that the Project is Substantially Completed in advance of the Contract Time. If Design/Builder fails to achieve Substantial Completion of the Project within the Contract Time, Design/Builder must pay back the Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) Bonus Advance to Owner because Design/Builder will have failed to earn these bonus monies and further Design/Builder shall pay Owner, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) per day commencing upon the first day following expiration of the Contract Time and continuing up to ninety (90) days thereafter. The parties agree that such liquidated damages are a reasonable estimate of damages Owner will incur as a result of delayed completion of the Work inasmuch as it is not possible to ascertain in advance the actual damages which Owner may incur as a result of the delayed Substantial Completion of the Work. Owner may deduct liquidated damages as described above from any unpaid amounts then or thereafter due to Design/Builder under this Agreement. Any liquidated damages not so deducted from any unpaid amounts due Design/Builder shall be payable immediately to Owner upon Owner's demand. The parties agree that Design/Builder's payment of these liquidated damages and the return of the Bonus Advance shall be Owner's sole and exclusive remedy for Design/Builder's failure to achieve Substantial Completion within the Contract Time. The terms Substantial Completion and Substantially Complete as used herein shall have the same meaning. The bonuses referred to in this Article are not included in the GMP. ARTICLE 15 SUBCONTRACTORS AND SUB-SUBCONTRACTORS Design/Build Contract ______ December 9, 1997 Page 10 ______ 15.1 Design/Builder hereby warrants that it is licensed and qualified to act in the capacity of a contractor and an architect/engineer as of the date hereof and that it will contract with all Subcontractors (as hereinafter defined) as are necessary to complete the Work and Services hereunder, and further agrees to timely pay all such Subcontractors in accordance with payments received for same from Owner. 15.2 All Subcontractors of any tier of Design/Builder (hereinafter referred to collectively as Subcontractors) shall be the exclusive responsibility of Design/Builder. However, before a Subcontractor begins work under the terms of this Contract, Design/Builder shall warrant and produce all relevant documentation to demonstrate that the Subcontractor has furnished all insurance documents required under the provisions of Attachment D and Attachment I necessary to comply with the CIP. ARTICLE 16 PRIVITY OF CONTRACT 16.1 Owner shall have no contractual obligation to Subcontractors and shall communicate with such Subcontractors only through Design/Builder. Design/Builder shall include in all its subcontracts a provision which acknowledges that there is no privity of contract with Owner by reason of the subcontract. However, Owner, or any Lender providing Owner financing on any portion of the Project may contact any Subcontractor directly if Design/Builder is in default hereunder or under any other agreement between Owner and Design/Builder. Design/Builder shall provide in all its subcontracts that if Design/Builder is in default under the Contract, that the subcontract (plus any related performance and/or payment bonds), at Owner's option, shall be deemed assigned to Owner or Owner's designee, and the Subcontractor shall continue to perform its work for Owner pursuant to the terms of the subcontract. The term "subcontract" used in this Article shall also refer to all purchase orders, vendor agreements and professional service agreements with Design/Builder or Design/Builder's Subcontractors. Furthermore, Design/Builder hereby agrees to perform its Work at the Project for Lender if Owner has been declared in default under any loan agreement with such Lender, as long as Design/Builder is paid in accordance with the Contract and Lender agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. ARTICLE 17 Design/Build Contract ______ December 9, 1997 Page 11 ______ HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 17.1 Pre-Existing Contamination.

Until such time Design/Builder shall not be obligated to commence or continue to work in that area of the Project suspected to contain hazardous or health threatening materials under Change Orders or directives issued by Owner and Design/Builder shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in the Contract Time and reasonable delay related costs. 17.3 Design/Builder shall comply with all applicable environmental laws in the performance of the Work. 17.3.1 All solid and liquid wastes, hazardous substances, and hazardous materials used by Design/Builder (including but not limited to all solvents, cleaners, waste oils, and trash) shall be handled and/or disposed of in full compliance with all applicable federal, state and local statutes, regulations, ordinances and rules. 17.3.2 As soon as the Work is completed, Design/Builder shall clear the premises of all debris, waste, and equipment of every kind and nature remaining from the Work and shall haul all materials belonging to Owner to local storage or the nearest on site shipping point as directed by Owner.

Design/Builder warrants that it is duly authorized to do business in the State of Nevada, that it has the knowledge and capability and is fully licensed to act as Design/Builder under the terms of this Contract and that it will evidence said authorization and capability to Owner upon request. 19.2 This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without any reference to conflict of laws principles. ARTICLE 20 PARTIAL VALIDITY 20.1 In the event that any portion of this Contract is held to be unlawful or unenforceable as a matter of law, the balance of the Contract shall remain in full force and effect and will be binding upon the parties. In the event of a continuing breach or default on the part of either party, the failure of the other party to insist upon the strict performance of the terms and conditions hereof shall not be construed as a waiver.
