Witnesseth that the Contractor and the Owner, in consideration of premises and the mutual covenants; consideration and agreement herein contained, agree as follows:

Statement of Work: The contractor shall furnish all labor and materials and perform all of the work required to build, construct and complete in a thorough and workmanlike manner:

For these purposes, all of the provisions contained in the aforementioned Construction Documents are incorporated herein by reference with the same force and effect as though said Construction Documents were herein set out in full.

Time for Completion: The work shall be commenced on a date to be specified in a written order of the Owner and shall be completed within 75 consecutive calendar days from and after the said date.

Liquidated Damages: Contractor shall be assessed Liquidated Damages in the amount of

$250.00 per day for each consecutive calendar day which work is not complete beginning with the first day beyond completion time.

Termination for Cause: The University may terminate this Contract for cause based upon the failure of the Contractor to comply with the terms and/or conditions of the Contract, provided that the University shall give the Contractor written notice specifying the Contractor's failure. If within thirty

(30) days after receipt of such notice, the Contractor shall not have either corrected such failure or, in the case of failure which cannot be corrected in thirty (30) days, begun in good faith to correct said failure and thereafter proceeded diligently to complete such correction, then the University may, at its option, place the Contractor in default and the Contract shall terminate on the date specified in such notice. The Contractor may exercise any rights available to it under Louisiana law to terminate for cause upon the failure of the University to comply with the terms and conditions of this contract, provided that the Contractor shall give the University written notice specifying the University's failure and a reasonable opportunity for the University to cure the defect.
