1.2.2       If the Design/Builder  believes or is advised by the Architect or by
another  design  professional  retained to provide  services on the Project that
implementation  of any  instruction  received  from  the  Owner  would  cause  a
violation of any applicable  law, the  Design/Builder  shall notify the Owner in
writing.  Neither the  Design/Builder  nor the  Architect  shall be obligated to
perform any act which either believes will violate any applicable law.
 
1.2.3       Nothing   contained  in  this  Part  2  Agreement   shall  create  a
contractual  relationship  between the Owner and any person or entity other than

the Design/Builder, unless the Design/Builder is adjudged to be in default under
this Agreement or under any other subsequently executed agreement.
 
1.3.3       If the Design/Builder  defaults in the Design/Builder's  oblgiations
to the  Owner,  the  Architect  shall  grant a  license  to the Owner to use the
drawings,  specifications,  and other documents and electronic data furnished by

conditioned   upon  the   Owner's   execution   of  an   agrement  to  cure  the
Design/Builder's  default in payment to the  Architect  for services  previously
performed and to indemnify the Architect with regard to claims arising from such
reuse without the Architect's professional involvement.

from the Owner shall be free and clear of liens,  claims, security  interests or
encumbrances  in favor of the  Design/Builder  or any  other  person  or  entity
performing  construction  at the  site  or  furnishing  materials  or  equipment
relating to the construction.
 
5.1.8       At the time of  Substantial  Completion,  the  Owner  shall  pay the
Design/Builder  the retainage,  if any, less the  reasonable  cost to correct or
complete  incorrect or incomplete Work. Final payment of such withheld sum shall
be made upon correction or completion of such Work.
 
5.2         FINAL PAYMENT
 
5.2.1       Neither final payment nor amounts retained, if any, shall become due
until the  Design/Builder  submits to the Owner: (i) an affidavit that payrolls,
bills for materials and  equipment,  and other  indebtedness  connected with the
Work for which the Owner or Owner's  property might be responsible or encumbered
(less amounts withheld by the 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  Design/Builder  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 contractor or
other person or entity  entitled to assert a lien  against the Owner's  property
refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by the Owner, the Design/Builder
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
Design/Builder  shall  indemnify  the  Owner  for all loss and  cost,  including
reasonable attorney's fees incurred as a result of such lien.
