that Contractor’s ability to meet the construction scheduled scribed above will be directly
affected by any Change Order(s), as defined herein, requested by the Employer, the
Employer’s failure to timely select any options not heretofore specified within the Plans and
Specifications, and/or the Employer’s interference with the construction process itself.
Further, Contractor shall not be liable for any delay in the completion of construction caused
by weather, fire, or other casualty or act of God, nor shall Contractor be liable for any delay

Employer does not thereafter notify Contractor of the Employer’s objection to the same in
writing within seventy-two (72) hours, the Employer shall be deemed to have consented to

completion of such alteration. If the Employer approves such proposal, the same shall
constitute a Change Order (“Change Order”) and the Contract Price, Scheduled Completion
Date, and the Work to be performed hereunder shall be amended accordingly, and such
alterations shall thereafter be completed by Contractor in accordance with the requirements of
this Agreement. If the Employer does not approve such proposal, Contractor shall not be
obligated to construct such alterations. The Employer shall pay in full for the cost of any
