     together or separately as the Owner and Design/Builder see fit, be decided
     by arbitration in accordance with the Construction Industry Arbitration
     Rules of the American Arbitration Association then obtaining as modified
     hereby.

     Any arbitration arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Project,
     the Work, the Contract Documents, or the breach thereof may include by
     consolidation, joinder or in any other manner, any other entities or
     persons whom the Owner or Design/Builder believes to be substantially
     involved in a common question of fact or law. In the event that more than
     one claim, dispute, or other matter in question, shall be in existence at
     the same time, the Owner and Deign/Builder may decide which of such claims,
     disputes or other matters in question shall be arbitrated and which shall
     not be arbitrated. Such decision shall be final and unappealable, and no
     arbitration shall be authorized to consider, decide, or make any award on
     any claim or matter which Owner and Design/Builder have determined shall
     not be arbitrated.

     In the event that the Owner or Design/Builder wishes to request arbitration
     of any claim, dispute or other matter in question, they shall file a notice
     of demand for arbitration in writing with the other Party specifically
     describing the claims, disputes and other matters in question which the
     Owner or Design/Builder wish to submit to arbitration.

     The Owner and Design/Builder shall have the right, but not the obligation,
     by so electing in their arbitration demand, to invoke the following method
     of selection of arbitrators in lieu of that otherwise provided by the
     American Arbitration Association rules.  If the Owner or Design/Builder so
     elects in its notice of demand for arbitration, the Owner or Design/Builder
     may appoint one party-appointed arbitrator in its notice of demand for
     arbitration.  If the Owner or Design/Builder does so, the other Party may,
     within ten (10) days, appoint a second party-appointed arbitrator.  These
     two party-appointed arbitrators shall, within thirty (30) days, or such
     further time as may be agreed upon between the Owner and the
     Design/Builder, appoint a third party-appointed arbitrator.  If the party-
     appointed arbitrators fail, to appoint a third arbitrator, the third
     arbitrator shall be

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

     appointed in accordance with the Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of
     the American Arbitration Association.

     The Owner and Design/Builder may elect to have the discovery rights and
     procedures provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to be available
     and enforceable within the arbitration proceeding.

     Any request or demand for arbitration hereunder shall be made before the
     date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such
     claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the
     applicable statute of limitations.

     This agreement to arbitrate shall be specifically enforceable by the Owner
     and Design/Builder under the prevailing arbitration law.  Any award
     rendered by arbitrators shall be final and enforceable by any party to the
     arbitration, and judgment may be rendered upon it in accordance with
     applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

     The Design/Builder and Owner mutually agree to arbitrate under the terms
     and conditions outlined above in this paragraph.

     Unless otherwise agreed in writing, and notwithstanding any other rights or
     obligations of either of the parties under any Contract Documents or
     agreements, Design/Builder shall carry on with the performance of its
     services and duties hereunder during the pendency of any claim, dispute,
     other matter in question or arbitration or other proceeding to resolve any
     claim, dispute or other matter in question, and the Owner shall continue to
     make payments in accordance with the Contract Documents, but the Owner
     shall be under no obligation to make payments on or against such claims,
     disputes, or other matters in question, during the pendency of any
     arbitration or other proceeding to resolve such claims, disputes or other
     matters in question."

     in lieu thereof, the following:

     "8.1 If the Design/Builder defaults or persistently fails or neglects to
     perform the provisions of this Part 1, the Owner may give written notice
     that the Owner intends to terminate Part 1. If the Design/Builder fails to
     correct the default, failure or neglect within seven (7) days after receipt
     of such notice, the Owner, without prejudice to any other remedy, may make
     good such deficiencies and may deduct the cost thereof from any payment due
     the Design/Builder or, at the Owner's option, may terminate the employment
     of the Design/Builder and take possession of all of the Design Materials by
     whatever means the Owner deems expedient.

19.  Paragraphs 10.1 and 10.2 are amended by deleting same in their entirety and
     substituting in lieu thereof, the following:

     "10.4  The Design/Builder acknowledges that the Owner, in entering into
     this Part 1 Agreement, is seeking to consolidate the responsibility for
     both the design and construction of the Project in the Design/Builder.  The
     Design/Builder has represented to the Owner that the Design/Builder is an
     expert in the construction of office, research and development facilities
     and that it will contract with architects and engineers that are experts in
     the design and engineering of office, research and development facilities.

     its Basic Services under this Part 1 Agreement is coordination with such
     manufacturers and contractors to the extent that the information is made
     available to the Design/Builder to the end that the Design/Builder designs
     the Project to meet any requirements, specification or performance
     standards required by such manufacturers and that the Basic Services
     pursuant to Part 2 of this Agreement will include construction necessary to
     allow incorporation of such equipment into the Project and allow same to be
     operational."

     "10.7  The Owner and the Design/Builder acknowledge that the Project Budget
     in the Proposal is not intended to be the Design/Builder's Guaranteed
     Maximum Price for the Project, but is intended to be Design/Builder's
     estimate, based on quantity take offs and consultation with subcontractors
     in the major trades.  Design/Builder and Owner agree that based on the
     substantially complete construction documents provided for in Part 2 of
     this Agreement, the Design/Builder has contemporaneously entered into Part
     2 of this Agreement whereby the Design/Builder agrees to provide the

7.3.5  A loss insured under the Owner's property insurance shall be adjusted by
the Owner as trustee and made payable to the Owner as trustee for the insureds,
as their interests may appear, subject to requirements of any applicable
mortgagee clause and of Subparagraph 7.3.10. The Design/Builder shall pay
contractors their shares of insurance proceeds received by the Design/Builder,
and by appropriate agreement, written where legally required for validity, shall
require contractors to make payments to their subcontractors in similar manner.

7.3.6  Before an exposure to loss may occur, the Owner shall file with the
Design/Builder a copy of each policy that includes insurance coverages required
by this Paragraph 7.3. Each policy shall contain all generally applicable
conditions, definitions, exclusions and endorsements related to this Project.
Each policy shall contain a provision that the policy will not be canceled or
allowed to expire until at least 30 days' prior written notice has been given to
the Design/Builder.

7.3.7  If the Design/Builder requests in writing that insurance for risks other
than those described herein or for other special hazards be included in the
property insurance policy, the Owner shall, if possible, obtain such insurance,
and the cost thereof shall be charged to the Design/Builder by appropriate
Change Order.

7.3.8  The Owner and the Design/Builder waive all rights against each other and
the Architect and other design professionals, contractors, subcontractors,
agents and employees, each of the other, for damages caused by fire or other
perils to the extent covered by property insurance obtained pursuant to this
Paragraph 7.3 or other property insurance applicable to the Work, except such
rights as they may have to proceeds of such insurance held by the Owner as
trustee. The Owner or Design/ Builder, as appropriate, shall require from
contractors and subcontractors by appropriate agreements, written where legally
required for validity, similar waivers each in favor of other parties enumerated
in this Paragraph 7.3. The policies shall provide such waivers of subrogation by
endorsement or otherwise. A waiver of subrogation shall be effective as to a
person or entity even though that person or entity would otherwise have a duty
of indemnification, contractual or otherwise, did not pay the insurance premium
directly or indirectly, and whether or not the person or entity had an insurable
interest in the property damaged.

7.3.9  If required in writing by a party in interest, the Owner as trustee
shall, upon occurrence of an insured loss, give bond for proper performance of
the Owner's duties. The cost of required bonds shall be charged against proceeds
received as fiduciary. The Owner shall deposit in a separate account proceeds so
received, which the Owner shall distribute in accordance with such agreement as
the parties in interest may reach, or in accordance with an arbitration award in
which case the procedure shall be as provided in Article 10.

       If after such loss no other special agreement is made, replacement of
damaged Work shall be covered by appropriate Change Order.

7.3.10 The Owner as trustee shall have power to adjust and settle a loss with
insurers unless one of the parties in interest shall object in writing, within
five (5) days after occurrence of loss to the Owner's exercise of this power; if
such objection be made, the parties shall enter into dispute


                                     -11-

resolution under procedures provided in Article 10. If distribution of insurance
proceeds by arbitration is required, the arbitrators will direct such
distribution.

7.3.11 Partial occupancy or use prior to Substantial Completion shall not
commence until the insurance company or companies providing property insurance
have consented to such partial occupancy or use by endorsement or otherwise. The
Owner and the Design/Builder shall take reasonable steps to obtain consent of
the insurance company or companies and shall not, without mutual written
consent, take any action with respect to partial occupancy or use that would
cause cancellation, lapse or reduction of coverage.

7.4    LOSS OF USE INSURANCE

7.4.1  The Owner, at the Owner's option, may purchase and maintain such
insurance as will insure the Owner against loss of use of the Owner's property
due to fire or other hazards. however caused. The Owner waives all rights of
action against the Design/Builder for loss of use of the Owner's property,
including consequential losses due to fire or other hazards, however caused.

                              CHANGES IN THE WORK

8.1    CHANGES

8.1.1  Changes in the Work may be accomplished after execution of this Part 2
Agreement, without invalidating this Part 2 Agreement, by Change Order,
Construction Change Directive, or order for a minor change in the Work, subject
to the limitations stated in the Contract Documents.

8.1.2  A Change Order shall be based upon agreement between the Owner and the
Design/Builder; a Construction Change Directive may be issued by the Owner
without the agreement of the Design/Builder; an order for a minor change in the
Work may be issued by the Design/Builder alone.

8.1.3  Changes in the Work shall be performed under applicable provisions of the
Contract Documents, and the Design/Builder shall proceed promptly, unless
otherwise provided in the Change Order, Construction Change Directive, or order
for a minor change in the Work.

8.1.4  If unit prices are stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently
agreed upon, and if quantities originally contemplated are so changed in a
proposed Change Order or Construction Change Directive that application of such
unit prices to quantities of Work proposed will cause substantial inequity to
the Owner or the Design/Builder, the applicable unit prices shall be equitably
adjusted.

8.2    CHANGE ORDERS

8.2.1  A Change Order is a written instrument prepared by the Design/Builder and
signed by the Owner and the Design/Builder, stating their agreement upon all of
the following:

     .1  a change in the Work;


                                     -12-
<PAGE>

      .2  the amount of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum; and

      .3  the extent of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Time.

8.2.2 If the Owner requests a proposal for a change in the Work from the
Design/Builder and subsequently elects not to proceed with the change, a Change
Order shall be issued to reimburse the Design/Builder for any costs incurred for
estimating services, design services or preparation of proposed revisions to the
Contract Documents.

8.3   CONSTRUCTION CHANGE DIRECTIVES

8.3.1 A Construction Change Directive is a written order prepared and signed by
the Owner, directing a change in the Work prior to agreement on adjustment, if
any, in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, or both.

8.3.2 Except as otherwise agreed by the Owner and the Design/Builder, the
adjustment to the Contract Sum shall be determined on the basis of reasonable
expenditures and savings of those performing the Work attributable to the
change, including the expenditures for design services and revisions to the
Contract Documents. In case of an increase in the Contract Sum, the cost shall
include a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit. In such case, the
Design/Builder shall keep and present an itemized accounting together with
appropriate supporting data for inclusion in a Change Order. Unless otherwise
provided in the Contract Documents, costs for these purposes shall be limited to
the following:

      .1  costs of labor, including social security, old age and unemployment
          insurance, fringe benefits required by agreement or custom, and
          workers' compensation insurance;

      .2  costs of materials, supplies and equipment, including cost of
          transportation, whether incorporated or consumed;

      .3  rental costs of machinery and equipment exclusive of hand tools,
          whether rented from the Design/Builder or others;

      .4  costs of premiums for all bonds and insurance permit fees, and sales,
          use or similar taxes;

      .5  additional costs of supervision and field office personnel directly
          attributable to the change; and fees paid to the Architect, engineers
          and other professionals.

8.3.3 Pending final determination of cost to the Owner, amounts not in dispute
may be included in Applications for Payment. The amount of credit to be allowed
by the Design/Builder to the Owner for deletion or change which results in a net
decrease in the Contract Sum will be actual net cost. When both additions and
credits covering related Work or substitutions are involved in a change, the
allowance for overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of the net
increase, if any, with respect to that change.

                                     -13-
<PAGE>

8.3.4  When the Owner and the Design/Builder agree upon the adjustments in the
Contract Sum and Contract Time, such agreement shall be effective immediately
and shall be recorded by preparation and execution of an appropriate Change
Order.

8.4    MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK

8.4.1  The Design/Builder shall have authority to make minor changes in the
Construction Documents and construction consistent with the intent of the
Contract Documents when such minor changes do not involve adjustment in the
Contract Sum or extension of the Contract Time. The Design/Builder shall
promptly inform the Owner, in writing, of minor changes in the Construction
Documents and construction.

8.5    CONCEALED CONDITIONS

8.5.1  If conditions are encountered at the site which are ( 1) subsurface or
otherwise concealed physical conditions which differ materially from those
indicated in the Contract Documents, or (2) unknown physical conditions of an
unusual nature which differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist and
generally recognized as inherent in construction activities of the character
provided for in the Contract Documents, then notice by the observing party shall
be given to the other party promptly before conditions are disturbed and in no
event later than 21 days after first observance of the conditions.  The Contract
Sum shall be equitably adjusted for such concealed or unknown conditions by
Change Order upon claim by either party made within 21 days after the claimant
becomes aware of the conditions.

8.6    REGULATORY CHANGES

8.7    The Design/Builder shall be compensated for changes in the construction
necessitated by the enactment or revisions of codes, laws or regulations
subsequent to the submission of the Design/Builder's Proposal.

                                   ARTICLE 9
                               CORRECTION OF WORK

9.1    The Design/Builder shall promptly correct Work rejected by the Owner or
known by the Design/Builder to be defective or failing to conform to the
requirements of the Contract Documents, whether observed before or after
Substantial Completion and whether or not fabricated, installed or completed.
The Design/Builder shall bear costs of correcting such rejected Work, including
additional testing and inspections.

9.2    If, within one (1) year after the date of Substantial Completion of the
Work or, after the date for commencement of warranties established in a written
agreement between the Owner and the Design/Builder, or by terms of an applicable
special warranty required by the Contract Documents, any of the Work is found to
be not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the
Design/Builder shall correct it promptly after receipt of a written notice from
the Owner to do so unless the Owner has previously given the Design/ Builder a
written acceptance of such condition.

9.3    Nothing contained in this Article 9 shall be construed to establish a
period of limitation with respect to other obligations which the Design/Builder
might have under the Contract Documents. Establishment of the time period of one
(1) year as described in Subparagraph 9.2

                                     -14-
<PAGE>

relates only to the specific obligation of the Design/Builder to correct the
Work, and has no relationship to the time within which the obligation to comply
with the Contract Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within
which proceedings may be commenced to establish the Design/Builder's liability
with respect to the Design/Builder's obligations other than specifically to
correct the Work.

9.4  If the Design/Builder fails to correct nonconforming Work as required or
fails to carry out Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Owner, by
written order signed personally or by an agent specifically so empowered by the
Owner in writing, may order the Design/Builder to stop the Work, or any portion
thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however, the
Owner's right to stop the Work shall not give rise to a duty on the part of the
Owner to exercise the right for benefit of the Design/Builder or other persons
or entities.

9.5  If the Design/Builder defaults or neglects to carry out the Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents and fails within seven (7) days after
receipt of written notice from the Owner to commence and continue correction of
such default or neglect with diligence and promptness, the Owner may give a
second written notice to the Design/Builder and, seven (7) days following
receipt by the Design/Builder of that second written notice and without
prejudice to other remedies the Owner may have, correct such deficiencies. In
such case an appropriate Change Order shall be issued deducting from payments
then or thereafter due the Design/Builder, the costs of correcting such
deficiencies. If the payments then or thereafter due the Design/Builder are not
sufficient to cover the amount of the deduction, the Design/Builder shall pay
the difference to the Owner. Such action by the Owner shall be subject to
dispute resolution procedures as provided in Article 10.

                                  ARTICLE 10
                  DISPUTE RESOLUTION MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION

10.1  Claims, disputes or other matters in question between the parties to this
Part 2 Agreement arising out of or relating to this Part 2 Agreement or breach
thereof shall be subject to and decided by mediation or arbitration. Such
mediation or arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Construction
Industry Mediation or Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association
currently in effect.

10.2  In addition to and prior to arbitration, the parties shall endeavor to
settle disputes by mediation. Demand for mediation shall be filed in writing
with the other party to this Part 2 Agreement and with the American Arbitration
Association. A demand for mediation shall be made within a reasonable time after
the claim, dispute, or other matter in question has arisen. In no event shall
the demand for mediation be made after the date when institution of legal or
equitable proceedings based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question
would be barred by the applicable statutes of repose or limitations.

10.3  Demand for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other party to
this Part 2 Agreement and with the American Arbitration Association. A demand
for arbitration shall be made within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute

arbitration be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable
proceedings based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question would be
barred by the applicable statutes of repose or limitations.

<PAGE>

10.4    An arbitration pursuant to this Article may be joined with an
arbitration involving common issues of law or fact between the Design/Builder
and any person or entity with whom the Design/Builder has a contractual
obligation to arbitrate disputes. No other arbitration arising out of or
relating to this Part 2 Agreement shall include, by consolidation, joinder or in
any other manner, an additional person or entity not a party to this Part 2
Agreement or not a party to an agreement with the Design/Builder, except by
written consent containing a specific reference to this Part 2 Agreement signed
by the Owner, the Design/Builder and any other person or entities sought to be
joined. Consent to arbitration involving an additional person or entity shall
not constitute consent to arbitration of any claim, dispute or other matter in
question not described in the written consent or with a person or entity not
named or described therein. The foregoing agreement to arbitrate and other
agreements to arbitrate with an additional person or entity duty consented to by
the parties to this Part 2 Agreement shall be specifically enforceable in
accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.


10.5    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.

11.3    WORK BY OWNER OR OWNER'S CONTRACTORS

11.3.1  The Owner reserves the right to perform construction or operations
related to the Project with the Owner's own forces, and to award separate
contracts in connection with other portions of the Project or other construction
or operations on the site under conditions of insurance and waiver of
subrogation identical to the provisions of this Part 2 Agreement. If the
Design/Builder claims that delay or additional cost is involved because of such
action by the Owner, the Design/Builder shall assert such claims as provided in
Subparagraph 11.4.

11.3.2  The Design/Builder shall afford the Owner's separate contractors
reasonable opportunity for introduction and storage of their materials and
equipment and performance of their activities and shall connect and coordinate
the Design/Builder's construction and operations with theirs as required by the
Contract Documents.

11.3.3  Costs caused by delays or by improperly timed activities or defective
construction shall be borne by the party responsible therefor. 11.4 CLAIMS FOR

indemnify and hold harmless the Owner, Owner's consultants, and agents and
employees of any of them from and against claims, damages, losses and expenses.
including but not limited to attorneys' fees, arising out of or resulting from
performance of the Work, provided that such claim, damage, loss or expense is
attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death, or to injury to or
destruction of tangible property (other than the Work itself) including loss of
use resulting therefrom, but only to the extent caused in whole or in part by
negligent acts or omissions of the Design/Builder, anyone directly or indirectly
employed by the Design/Builder or anyone for whose acts the Design/Builder may
be liable, regardless of whether or not such claim, damage, loss or expense is
caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder. Such obligation shall not be
construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other rights or obligations of indemnity
which would otherwise exist as to a party or person described in this paragraph
11.5.

11.5.2  In claims against any person or entity indemnified under this Paragraph
11.5 by an employee of the Design/Builder, anyone directly or indirectly

nor the Design/Builder shall assign this Part 2 Agreement without the written
consent of the other. The Owner may assign this Part 2 Agreement to any
institutional lender providing construction financing, and the Design/Builder
agrees to execute all consents reasonably required to facilitate such an
assignment. If either party makes such an assignment, that party shall
nevertheless remain legally responsible for all obligations under this Part 2
Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by the other party.

11.7    TERMINATION OF PROFESSIONAL DESIGN SERVICES

11.7.1  Prior to termination of the services of the Architect or any other
design professional designated in this Part 2 Agreement, the Design/Builder
shall identify to the Owner in writing another architect or other design
professional with respect to whom the Owner has no reasonable objection, who
will provide the services originally to have been provided by the Architect or
other design professional whose services are being terminated.

12.1    TERMINATION BY THE OWNER

12.1.1  This Part 2 Agreement may be terminated by the Owner upon 14 days'
written notice to the Design/Builder in the event that the Project is abandoned.
If such termination occurs, the Owner shall pay the Design/Builder for Work
completed and for proven loss sustained upon materials, equipment, tools, and
construction equipment and machinery, including reasonable profit and applicable
damages.

12.1.2  If the Design/Builder defaults or persistently fails or neglects to
carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents or fails to perform
the provisions of this Part 2 Agreement, the Owner may give written notice that
the Owner intends to terminate this Part 2 Agreement. If the Design/Builder
fails to correct the defaults, failure or neglect within seven (7) days after

an additional seven (7) days, the Owner may without prejudice to any other
remedy terminate the employment of the Design/Builder and take possession of the
site and of all materials, equipment, tools and construction equipment and
machinery thereon owned by the Design/Builder and finish the Work by whatever
method the Owner may deem expedient. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum
exceeds the expense of finishing the Work and all damages incurred by the Owner,
such excess shall be paid to the Design/Builder. If the expense of completing
the Work and all damages incurred by the Owner exceeds the unpaid balance, the
Design/Builder shall pay the difference to the Owner. This obligation for
payment shall survive termination of this Part 2 Agreement.

12.2    TERMINATION BY THE DESIGN/BUILDER

12.2.1  If the Owner fails to make payment when due, the Design/Builder may give
written notice of the Design/Builder's intention to terminate this Part 2
Agreement. If the Design/Builder fails to receive payment within seven (7) days
after receipt of such notice by the Owner, the Design/Builder may give a second
written notice and, seven (7) days after receipt of such second written notice
by the Owner, may terminate this Part 2 Agreement and recover from the Owner
payment for Work executed and for proven losses sustained upon materials,
equipment, tools, and construction equipment and machinery, including,
reasonable profit and applicable damages.

<PAGE>

     (b) All copyright and other intellectual proprietary rights in or relating
     to any of the Design Materials, shall remain the property of the
     Design/Builder, its employees and design services subcontractors whether or
     not the Project is constructed. It is understood and agreed that, except as
     hereinafter provided, the Design/Builder and its employees and design
     services subcontractors shall have the right to use any detail, part,
     concept or system shown on, specified in, or inferable from such Design
     Materials on any other project and to retain copies thereof for the
     Design/Builder's, its employees or design services subcontractor's future
     use;

     (c) the Owner shall not, without the consent of the Design/Builder or its
     appropriate employees or design services subcontractor, as the case may be,
     use such Design Materials in whole or in part for the construction of any
     other project. If, however, the Owner agrees to indemnify the owner of the
     intellectual property rights against liability arising from the misuse or
     incorrect use of such Design Materials by the Owner, the Owner shall be
     entitled to, at no additional cost to the Owner, use such Design Materials
     for additions, improvements, changes or alterations to the Project after
     the completion thereof. If the Design/Builder is in default under this Part
     2 Agreement and the Part 2 Agreement is terminated by reason thereof, the
     Owner shall be entitled to use the Design Materials for the completion of
     the Project by others without additional compensation, and the Owner shall,
     at the Owner's option, either agree to indemnify or cause the person or
     persons or entity with whom the Owner contracts for completion of the
     Project to indemnify the Design/Builder, its employees or design services
     subcontractors against liability arising out of such use;

     (d) Any reproduction of the Design Materials or part thereof be faithful
     and accurate to the original and of good quality;


     (e) The Owner shall not remove or alter, and shall reproduce and display on
     all copies made by the Owner, the copyright notice and other proprietary
     legends appearing on such Design Materials when delivered to the Owner. The
     restrictions set forth in (c) and (a) above shall be imposed by the Owner
     on any third party to whom the Owner allows to display or publish the
     Design Materials.

It is understood that the Owner considers the Project's aggregate architectural
expression (that is, the overall combination of the Project's visually apparent
and non-functional design features) and any distinctive individual features
thereof, to be unique and of commercial value, and the Design/Builder, its
employees and its design services subcontractors agree not to design or build or
allow other third parties the use of the Design Materials or to design or build
within the Chicago Metropolitan Area another structure having a substantially
identical aggregate architectural expression. The Design/Builder, its employees
and its design services subcontractors shall, however, be free to use the
individual features from the Project or combinations of such features in other
projects, so long as the Design/Builder complies with the foregoing limitations
regarding a structure having a substantially identical aggregate architectural
expression.

     together or separately as the Owner and Deign/Builder see fit be decided by

<PAGE>

     Industry Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then
     obtaining as modified hereby.

          Any arbitration arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the
          Project, the Work, the Contract Documents, or the breach thereof may
          include by consolidation, joinder or in any other manner, any other
          entities or persons whom the Owner believes to be substantially
          involved in a common question of fact or law.  In the event that more
          than one claim, dispute, or other matter in question, shall be in
          existence at the same time, the Owner and Design/Builder may decide
          which of such claims, disputes or other matters in question shall be
          arbitrated and which shall not be arbitrated.  Such decision shall be
          final and unappealable, and no arbitration shall be authorized to
          consider, decide, or make any award on any claim or matter which Owner
          and Design/Builder have determined shall not be arbitrated.

          In the event that the Owner or Design/Builder wishes to request
          arbitration of any claim, dispute or other matter in question, they
          shall file a notice of demand for arbitration in writing with the
          other party specifically describing the claims, disputes and other
          matters in question which the Owner or Design/Builder wishes to submit
          to arbitration.

          The Owner and Design/Builder shall have the right, but not the
          obligation, by so electing in their arbitration demand, to invoke the
          following method of selection of arbitrators in lieu of that otherwise
          provided by the American Arbitration Association Rules.  If the Owner
          or Design/Builder so elects in its notice of demand for arbitration,
          the Owner or Design/Builder may appoint one party-appointed arbitrator
          in its notice of demand for arbitration.  If the Owner or
          Design/Builder does so, the other party may, within ten (10) days,
          appoint a second party-appointed arbitrator.  These two party-
          appointed arbitrators shall, within thirty (30) days, or such further
          time as may be agreed upon between the Owner and the Design/Builder,
          appoint a third party-appointed arbitrator.  If the party-appointed
          arbitrators fail to appoint a third arbitrator, the third arbitrator
          shall be appointed in accordance with the Construction Industry
          Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

          The Owner and Design/Builder may elect to have the discovery rights
          and procedures provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to be
          available and enforceable within the arbitration proceeding.

          Any request or demand for arbitration hereunder shall be made before
          the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on
          such claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the
          applicable statute of limitations.

          This agreement to arbitrate shall be specifically enforceable by the
          Owner and Design/Builder under the prevailing arbitration law.  Any
          award


                                      -9-
<PAGE>

          rendered by arbitrators shall be final and enforceable by any party to
          the arbitration, and judgment may be rendered upon it in accordance
          with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

          The Design/Builder and Owner mutually agree to arbitrate under the
          terms and conditions outlined above in this paragraph.

          Unless otherwise agreed in writing, and notwithstanding any other
          rights or obligations of either of the parties under any Contract
          Documents or agreements, Design/Builder shall carry on with the
          performance of its services and duties hereunder during the pendency
          of any claim, dispute, other matter in question or arbitration or
          other proceeding to resolve any claim, dispute or other matter in
          question, and the Owner shall continue to make payments in accordance
          with the Contract Documents, but the Owner shall be under no
          obligation to make payments on or against such claims, disputes, or
          other matters in question, during the pendency of any arbitration or
          other proceeding to resolve such claims, disputes or other matters in
          question."

34.  Paragraph 11.2.1 is amended by deleting same in its entirety and

     entities (including those who are to furnish materials or equipment
     fabricated to a special design) proposed for such portion of the Work,
     together with sufficient documentation, upon Owner's request, for Owner to
     review the qualifications, capabilities and financial capacity of each such
     proposed Subcontractor. Design/Builder shall not allow any such proposed
     person or entity to whom Owner has made reasonable objection to be
     subcontracted any portion of the Work, provided that such objection shall
     be made, if at all, in writing, within five days after Design/Builder
     submits names and supporting documentation to Owner. If Owner has timely
     made reasonable objection to any such proposed person or entity,
     Design/Builder may submit a substitute to whom Owner has no reasonable
     objection. Design/Builder shall make no substitution for any Subcontractor,
     person or entity previously selected if Owner makes reasonable objection to
     such substitution. Design/Builder shall not be required to contract with
     anyone against whom Design/Builder has a reasonable objection."

     11.2.3 By appropriate agreement, Design/Builder shall require each
     Subcontractor, to the extent of the Work to be performed by such
     Subcontractor, to be bound to Design/Builder or by the terms of the
     Contract Documents, and to assume toward Design/Builder all of the
     obligations and responsibilities which Design/Builder, by these Contract
     Documents, assumes toward Owner, and Owner's Lender. Design/Builder shall
     require each Subcontractor to enter into similar agreements with its
     subcontractor, prior to the execution of the proposed Subcontract
     therewith, copies of the Contract Documents to which the Subcontractor will
     be bound by this Article. Design/Builder shall require each Subcontractor
     to make copies of the Contract Documents available to all Subcontractors.

     11.2.4 Design/Builder is free to divide the Work according to its
     discretion, so long as such divisions are made so as to avoid labor
     disputes. In the event of a conflict related to trade jurisdiction,
     Design/Builder shall take immediate action as necessary to prevent, if
     possible, and otherwise to mitigate any work delay arising therefrom.

     11.2.5 Design/Builder shall coordinate the efforts of its Subcontractors so
     that no part of the Work is duplicated or omitted, and shall require its
     Subcontractors to proceed with the Work in accordance with the Construction
     Schedule and in such order as Owner, through Design/Builder, may direct.
     Design/Builder agrees that it is as fully responsible to Owner for the acts
     and omissions of its Subcontractors and of persons either directly or
     indirectly employed by the, as Design/Builder is for the acts and omissions
     of persons directly employed by Design/Builder.

     11.2.6 Nothing contained herein shall create any contractual obligation
     between any Subcontractor and Owner; provided, however, that each
     Subcontract shall provide that Owner, at Owner's option, shall have the
     right to cause the Subcontractor to perform for the benefit of Owner the
     remainder of the work covered by such Subcontract in the event that the
     Contract is terminated, so long as Owner shall have paid to Design/Builder
     all amounts then due such Subcontractor as and thereafter Owner continues
     to pay the amounts due such Subcontractor as they come due.

     11.2.7 Design/Builder shall require each Subcontractor to carry insurance
     required pursuant to Paragraph 7.1-4.

36.  Article 11 is amended by adding the following paragraphs 11.3.4, 11.3.5,
     11.3.6, 11.3.7, and 11.3.8:

     "11.3.4 If any part of the work to be performed by other contractors and
     subcontractors depends for proper execution upon Design/Builder Work, then
     such separate contractor or subcontractor shall, prior to preceding with
     such work, promptly report to Design/Builder any apparent discrepancies or
     defect in Contractor's Work that render it unsuitable for such proper
     execution and results. Failure of such other contractor to report same
     shall constitute an acceptance of Design/Builder's Work as fit and proper
     to

                                     -11-
<PAGE>

     receive such separate contractor or subcontractor's work, except as to
     latent defects in Design/Builder's Work.

     11.3.5  Owner and Design/Builder each will provide for the coordination of
     the work of its own forces and of each separate contractor with the Work of
     Design/Builder, who shall cooperate therewith as provided in Article 11.
     All Work shall be coordinated through Owner and Design/Builder prior to
     proceeding. In particular, no cutting or fitting, layout, etc., shall be
     done without the prior approval of Owner and Design/Builder.

     11.3.6 If any part of Design/Builder Work depends for proper execution or
     results upon the work of Owner or any separate contractor, Design/Builder
     shall, prior to proceeding with the Work, promptly report to Owner any
     apparent discrepancies or defects in such other work that render it
     unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Failure of Design/Builder
     to report same after the same becomes apparent shall constitute an
     acceptance of such separate contractor's work as fit and proper to receive
     Design/Builder's Work, except as to latent defects in such Work or with
     respect to any preceding portion of the Work for which Design/Builder
     receives a Change Order with respect to correcting such defect, Contractor
     shall correct the same.

     113.7 Should Design/Builder wrongfully cause damage to the Work or property
     of Owner or any separate contractor or subcontractor, or to other work on
     the Site, including, without limitation, damage caused by defective or ill-
     timed work, Design/Builder shall promptly remedy such damage and promptly
     attempt to resolve any dispute arising therefrom.

     11.3.8 Any costs caused by defective or ill-timed work which is brought to
     the attention of Owner pursuant to this Article or which results from
     latent defects shall be borne by the party responsible thereof, without
     reimbursement; provided however, in the event that (a) such damage was not
     caused by Design/Builder's gross negligence or (b) such damage was caused
     by a Subcontractor's work and Design/Builder is unable, after using good
     faith efforts, to have such Work corrected by such Subcontractor on a
     timely basis, after taking into account the Completion Schedule,
     Design/Builder shall be able to charge such costs incurred to correct such
     defective work as a Cost of the Work. In the event that the Contractor
     later obtains a backcharge from the appropriate Subcontractor for such
     defective work, Design/Builder shall credit the Cost of the Work."

37.  Paragraph 11.5 is amended by deleting paragraphs 11.5.1 and 11.5.2 in their
     entirety and substituting, in lieu thereof, the following paragraphs
     11.5.1, 11.5.2, 11.5.3, 11.5.4, 11.5.5, 11.5.6, 11.5.7, 11.5.8, 11.5.9,
     11.5.10, 11.5.11 and 11.5.12:

     "11.5.1 To the extent permitted by law, Design/Builder shall indemnify,
     defend, save and hold Owner, all its employees, officers, directors and
     stockholders and such other persons and entities as Owner may from time to
     time designate (all of the foregoing being herein collectively called
     "Indemnitees") harmless from and against all loss and expense (including
     reasonable attorney's fees and other costs and expenses) by reason of the
     liability imposed by law upon the Indemnitees, or any of them, for damages
     because of

                                     -12-
<PAGE>

     bodily injury, occupational sickness or disease, including death resulting
     therefrom, sustained by any employees of Design/Builder while at the Site
     where Work under this Agreement is being conducted or elsewhere, while
     engaged in the performance of Work under the Agreement, or sustained by any
     person or persons other than employees of Design/Builder relating to the
     Work (including such injuries as result from any act or omission of
     Design/Builder which are alleged to be actionable against Indemnitees or
     any of them), whether attributable to a breach of statutory duty or
     administrative regulation or otherwise, and such injuries for which
     liability is imputed to the Indemnitees, or any of them, or claims for
     property damage because of injury to or destruction of tangible property
     (other than the Work itself to the extent the damage or injury thereto
     results from a loss covered by Owner's policy of builder's risk insurance,
     including loss of use resulting therefrom), directly or indirectly arising
     or alleged to arise out of the performance of or the failure to perform the
     Work or the failure to protect or the Project Parcel, or the condition of
     the Work, the Project Parcel, adjoining land or driveways, or streets or
     alleys used in connection with the performance of the Work. The obligations
     of Design/Builder under this Paragraph 11.5.1 shall extend to the liability
     of Design/Builder and its employees and design subcontractors arising out
     of (1) the preparation or approval of maps, Drawings, opinions, reports,
     surveys, Change Orders, designs or Specifications, or (2) the giving of or
     failure to give directions or instructions by Design/Builder,
     Design/Builder's agents or employees provided such giving or failure to
     give is a cause of the injury or damage.

     11.5.2 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such defense and
     indemnity set forth in Paragraph 11.5.1 includes, subject only to the
     limitations contained in Paragraph 11.5.1, all liabilities, damages,
     losses, claims, demands and actions on account of bodily injury, death or
     property loss to an Indemnitee or to any other persons or entities, whether
     based upon, or claimed to be based upon, statutory (including the
     generality of the foregoing, workmen's compensation), contractual, tort or
     other liability of any Indemnitee. In addition, such defense and indemnity
     shall include all liabilities, damages, losses, claims, demands and actions
     on account of bodily injury, death or property loss to an Indemnitee or to
     any other persons or entities, whether based upon, or claimed to be based
     upon, statutory (including the generality of the foregoing, Workmen's
     Compensation), contractual, tort or other liability of any Indemnitee. In
     addition, such defense and indemnity shall include all liabilities,
     damages, losses, claims, demands and actions for defamation, false arrest,
     malicious prosecution or any other infringement or similar rights.

     11.5.3 The obligation set forth in this Paragraph 11.5 shall, but not by
     way of limitation, specifically include all claims directly or indirectly
     alleged to arise under any scaffolding, Structural Work Safe Place Law, or
     any law with respect to the protection of adjacent landowners.

     11.5.4  The obligations set forth in this Paragraph 11.5 shall not include
     any claims arising solely from the negligence of the party asking to be
     defended, indemnified or saved harmless.

                                     -13-
<PAGE>

     11.5.5 Design/Builder shall be notified of any claims against the
     Indemnitees of which Owner has notice, and Owner shall give Design/Builder
     such reasonable information and assistance as may be requested by
     Design/Builder to perform the obligations set forth in this Paragraph 11.5;
     provided, however, that (1) failure to notify Contractor of any claim shall
     not relieve Design/Builder of any obligations contained in this Paragraph
     11.5 (except to the extent that such failure would relieve Design/Builder's
     insurers from the duty to insure and defend Design/Builder or allow
     Contractor to mitigate damages); and (ii) the obligation of Owner to give
     information and assistance shall be at Design/Builder's expense and shall
     not obligate Owner to incur any expense or liability.

     11.5.6 The foregoing indemnification remedy shall not deprive Owner, or
     Owner's Lender of any other indemnity action, right or remedy otherwise
     available to the, or either of the, under Contract Documents, at common law
     or otherwise.

     11.5.7 Neither the provisions of, nor any limitations upon the indemnity
     provided for in this Paragraph 11.5 shall be construed to (i) indemnify any
     Indemnitee from the consequences of its own separate negligent acts or
     omissions, (ii) eliminate or reduce any other indemnification, right or
     remedy which Owner, or Owner's Lender has under Contract Documents or
     otherwise, or (iii) deprive any Indemnitee, as an additional insured or
     otherwise, of the benefits of any insurance required to be carried by
     Design/Builder under the Contract Documents.

     11.5.8 Design/Builder expressly understands and agrees that any performance
     or labor any material bond or insurance protection required by any
     provision of the Contract Documents, or otherwise provided by
     Design/Builder, shall in no way limit the responsibility to indemnify, save
     and hold harmless and defend each of the Indemnities as herein provided.

     11.5.9 Design/Builder shall cause the foregoing indemnification agreement
     by Design/Builder to be included in each subcontract between Contractor and
     a Subcontractor and shall be in favor of each of the Indemnities and
     Design/Builder, and at Owner's request, Design/Builder shall provide
     evidence satisfactory to Owner that it has fulfilled its obligation under
     this Paragraph.

     11.5.10 If any claim indemnified hereunder has not been settled or
     discharged when the Work is completed, Final Payment of the Contract Sum
     shall not be due, unless and until Design/Builder provides one of the
     following: a (i) bond in favor of Owner issued by a bonding company
     satisfactory to Owner, (11) other security acceptable in an amount equal to
     150% of the amount of any such claim. including interest on such claim as
     estimated by Owner, (iii) evidence that the insurer has acknowledged
     coverage of such issue and has undertaken defense of the same, or (iv)
     other security acceptable to Owner, which bond or other security shall be
     in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner and shall be subject
     to such increase reasonably satisfactory to Owner and shall be subject to
     such increase as Owner may from time to time require as interest accrues on
     such claim.

     11.5.11 In any and all claims against any Indemnitee or any of its agents
     or employees by any employee of Design/Builder, anyone directly or
     indirectly employed by him or anyone for whose acts he may be liable, the
     indemnification obligation under this Paragraph 11.5 shall not be limited
     in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation
     or benefits payable by or for Design/Builder under workers' compensation
     acts, disability benefit acts or other employee benefit acts.

     11.5.12  The obligation of Contractor under this Paragraph 11.5 shall
     extend to the liability of Design/Builder and its design subcontractors,
     contractors and their employees, for claims, indemnities, liabilities,
     damages, losses, demand and actions arising out of the rendering of, or the
     failure to render, any professional services, including (a) the preparation
     of approval of maps, Plans, drawings, opinions, reports, surveys, Change
     Orders, designs or Specifications, or (b) supervisory, inspection,
     architectural or engineering services."

38.  Paragraph 11.6 is amended by deleting Paragraph 11.6.1 and substituting, in
     lieu thereof, the following Paragraphs 11.6.1, 11.6.2 and 11.6.3:

     11.6.1 Owner and Design/Builder each binds itself, its successors,
     permitted assigns and legal representatives to the other party hereto and
     to the successors, assigns and legal representatives of such other party
     with respect to all covenants, agreements and obligations contained in the
     Contract Documents. Design/Builder shall not assign its rights or
     responsibilities in whole or in part under the Contract Documents without
     the prior written consent of Owner and Owner's Lender, which consent may be
     granted or withheld in Owner's and Owner's Lender's sole discretion, and
     any attempt at such an assignment shall be null and void. Further,
     Design/Builder shall, except with respect to Contractor's general business
     line of credit or general business bank financing, not assign any monies
     due or to become due to Contractor hereunder, without the previous written
     consent of Owner.

     11.6.2 If this Agreement is assigned by Owner to Owner's Lender, and if
     Owner's Lender (a) exercises its rights under such assignment and (b) cures
     any default in payment by Owner existing on the date of the exercise by
     Owner's Lender of its right under such assignment, then Design/Builder
     agrees to perform its covenants and obligations under this Contract and to
     release and discharge Owner from any liability whatsoever arising from this
     Agreement which occurs after the date of the exercise by Owner's Lender of
     its rights under such assignment; provided, however, Owner shall not be
     released from liability with respect to obligations accruing before the
     date of exercise by Owner's Lender and (ii) liability for payments becoming
     due after the date of such exercise to the extent Owner's Lender agrees in
     writing such payments. In no event shall the foregoing be deemed to deprive
     Design/Builder of its right and remedies at law and in equity, including
     but not limited to its statutory mechanic's lien rights and the rights to
     seek a monetary judgment against the Project Parcel and the Project.

     11.6.3  Unless otherwise consented to in advance by Design/Builder, Owner
     shall not transfer or assign its interest in the Project Parcel (other than
     to Owner's Lender) unless

                                     -15-
<PAGE>

     such transferee or assignee agrees to be liable to Contractor to the same
     extent as Owner is as set forth in the Contract Documents.

39.  Paragraph 11.7.1 is amended by deleting "the Architect or" in lines one and
     two, "other" in line two, "another architect or other" in line four, and
     "the Architect or other" in lines seven and eight.

40.  Paragraph 12.1 is amended by deleting Paragraphs 12.1.1 and 12.1.2 and
     substituting, in lieu thereof, the following Paragraphs 12.1.1 and 12.1.2:

     "12.1.1 Part 2 of this Agreement may be terminated by the Owner upon ten
     (10) days written notice at the Owner's election. In the event of
     termination at the Owner's election and not due to the fault of the
     Design/Builder, the Design/Builder shall be compensated for services
     performed to termination date, including a proportionate amount of profit,
     together with reimbursable expenses then due.

     12.1.2 If the Design/Builder defaults or persistently fails or neglects to
     carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents or fails to
     perform the provisions of Part 2, of this Agreement, the Owner may give
     written notice that the Owner intends to terminate Part 2, of this
     Agreement. If the Design/Builder falls to correct, or commence the
     correction and diligently pursue its completion, the defaults within seven
     (7) business days after being given notice, the Owner may without prejudice
     to any other remedy make good such deficiencies and may deduct the cost
     thereof from the payment due the Design/Builder or at the Owner's option,
     may terminate the employment of the Design/Builder and take possession of
     the Project Parcel and of all materials, equipment, tools and construction
     equipment and machinery thereon owned by the Design/Builder as well as all
     drawings, plans, and specifications and finish the Work by whatever means
     the Owner may deem expedient. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum
     exceeds the expense of finishing the Work, the excess shall be paid to the
     Design/Builder, but if the expense exceeds the unpaid balance, the
     Design/Builder shall pay the difference to the Owner."

41.  Paragraph 12.2.1 is amended by deleting same in its entirety and
     substituting, in lieu thereof, the following:

     "If the Owner fails to make payment when due, the Design/Builder may give
     written notice of the Design/Builder's intention to terminate Part 2 of
     this Agreement. If the Design/Builder fails to receive payment within
     fourteen days after receipt of such notice by the Owner, the Design/Builder
     may give a second written notice and, fourteen days after receipt of such
     second written notice by the Owner, may terminate Part 2 of this Agreement
     and recover from the Owner payment for the cost of the Work to the date of
     termination plus the Design/Builder's fee relating to such work."

42.  Paragraph 13.1 is amended by deleting same in its entirety and
     substituting, in lieu thereof, the following:

                                     -16-

     "13.1.1  For the Design/Builder's performance of the Work in this Part 2
     Agreement, including but not limited to the services described in Paragraph
     3.2, the Owner shall pay the Design/Builder in current funds the Contract
     Sum as follows:

          A    Subject, except as hereinafter provided, to additions and

               hereinafter defined, plus (2) a Design/Builder's Fee of five
               percent (5%) of the Cost of the Work, plus the sum of items (1)
               and (2) multiplied by 0.0075 for the cost of liability insurance,
               provided, however, that the Contract Sum shall not exceed the
               guaranteed maximum price ("GMP") of Fifteen Million Three Hundred
               Forty Four Thousand Four Hundred Thirty Nine and XX/100 Dollars

               between the Contract Sum and the GMP shall belong to the Owner.

          B.   The GMP has been established by the Design/Builder and includes
               the various categories set forth in the Schedule of Values

     Design/Builder expects to be reimbursed rentals for the use of, will be
     charged for at a rate equal to 80% of the standard book rate as reflected
     in the Rental Rate Blue Book for Construction, latest edition. These
     equipment charges shall be available for verification by Owner or its
     authorized designated agent on Design/builder's monthly contractor
     equipment charge sheet. Design/Builder shall give Owner 30 days' prior
     written notice of any items which Design,/Builder intends to rent, and such
     items shall be purchased upon Owner's direction and at Owner's discretion
     and upon such purchase shall be the property of Owner.

     13.1.5 The words "Cost", "Cost of the Work", "Cost of Work" or "Cost of
     such Work" shall not include the cost of the following items which shall be
     paid by Design/Builder and not reimbursed by Owner:

                                     -18-
<PAGE>

          (a)  costs incurred by Design/Builder, but not Subcontractors, in
               correction of defective or non-conforming Work caused by the
               gross negligence of Design/Builder;

          (b)  undepreciated value of all equipment transferable at Owner's
               option as usable items at the completion of the Work;

          (c)  the costs of bonds over mechanics' or materialmen liens of any
               Subcontractor, except to the extent the liens of subcontractors
               are filed due to the unexcused failure of Owner to make payments
               under the Contract Documents;

          (d)  all administrative home office expenses, other than the field
               office expenses; provided, however, that to the extent that the
               personnel costs of the schedulers, estimators and others are
               included in the Schedule of General Conditions attached hereto or
               would have been included had such persons been located at the
               Project Parcel and Design/Builder demonstrates to Owner that
               having such persons work in Design/Builder's home office enhances
               job efficiency, then the personnel costs of such schedulers,
               estimators and others shall be included;

          (e)  salaries and other compensation of home office personnel in
               whatever capacity employed, including salaries and other
               compensation of Design/Builder's officers, partners, principals,
               executives, general managers, estimators, auditors, accountants,
               purchasing and contracting agents and other employees at
               Design/Builder's home office;

          (f)  interest on capital employed either in plant or expenditures on
               such Work;

          (g)  Cost in excess of the maximum cost established for general
               conditions listed in Exhibit D;

          (h)  bonuses paid to Design/Builder's personnel and any other
               administrative costs;

          (i)  costs in excess of the GMP;

          (j)  Intentionally deleted.

     13.1.6 All cash discounts received by Design/Builder shall accrue to Owner
     in total, and all quantity and trade discounts, rebates and refunds and all
     returns from sale of surplus material shall be applied as a reduction of
     cost of materials, services and other items purchased by Design/Builder for
     performance of such Work. The foregoing shall not apply to discounts for
     items for which Design/Builder has advanced payment from Design/Builder's
     own funds.

     13.1.7 Design/Builder shall check all materials and labor utilized during
     the course of such Work and shall keep full and detailed records and
     accounts thereof in keeping with

                                     -19-
<PAGE>

     good business management practices, and the system utilized shall be such
     as is reasonably satisfactory to Owner's auditor and Owner's Lender and
     their auditors. timekeepers and clerks shall at all reasonable times be
     afforded access to such Work and to all Design/Builder's books, records,
     correspondence, instructions, drawings, receipts, vouchers. memoranda,
     etc., relating to such Work and Design/Builder shall preserve all such
     records for a period of three (3) years after the final payment hereunder.
     At the Owner's expense such records shall then be delivered to Owner. The
     foregoing shall not deprive Owner's Lender of access to the Work in
     accordance with the Contract Documents.

     13.1.8 Design/Builder will keep complete and detailed books and records
     which will accurately reflect Costs. Such books and records and all
     supporting data shall at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice
     during the course of construction be open for audit, inspection and copying
     by Owner and its authorized representatives. These books, records and data
     shall be retained and available for audit, inspection and copying for a
     period of five years after such Work has been completed. At the Owner's
     expense, Design/Builder shall deliver the originals or a copy of all of
     such books and records to Owner at the time of the expiration of such five-
     year period or at such earlier date in the event that Design/Builder
     desires to dispose of such books and records prior to the expiration of
     such five-year period.

43.  Paragraph 14 is amended by deleting same in its entirety and substituting,
     in lieu thereof, the following:

     "14.1.l The construction services of the Design/Builder shall be deemed to
     have commenced on or prior to the date of this Part 2 Agreement and
     Substantial Completion of the Project shall be achieved by October 16,
     2000, subject to revision as provided in the Contract Documents ("Delivery
     Date"). The Owner and the Design/Builder acknowledge that if Substantial
     Completion of the Project does not occur on or before the Delivery Date,
     the Owner will incur substantial damages, and, therefore, Owner and
     Design/Builder agree that if the Substantial Completion of the Project does
     not occur on or before the fourteenth (14th ) day following the Delivery
     Date, Design/Builder shall pay the Owner, which payment shall be Owner's
     sole remedy with respect to Design/Builder's failure to achieve Substantial
     Completion by the Delivery Date until Substantial Completion as follows:

          (a)  for the first thirty (30) days, Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
               ($2,500) per day;

          (b)  for the next thirty (30) days, Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) per
               day;

          (c)  thereafter, Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) per day.

          (d)  In no event shall the liquidated damages assessed exceed the
               Design/Builder's fee for the Project.

     14.1.2  If Owner desires to accelerate performance of any part of the Work,
     Owner may request such acceleration, in which event Design/Builder shall
     advise Owner to what

                                     -20-
<PAGE>

     extent if any, in the judgment of Design/Builder, overtime Work will be
     required to accomplish such acceleration and the estimated extra actual
     out-of-pocket cost resulting from the use of such overtime. If upon receipt
     of such estimate from Design/Builder, Owner still desires to accelerate
     performance of such part of the Work, Owner shall issue a Change Order for
     such Work. Design/Builder shall perform on such accelerated basis, and
     Owner shall pay the actual extra cost resulting from the use of overtime.

     14.1.3 If Design/Builder is delayed at any time in the progress of the Work
     by (i) any act or neglect of Owner, (ii) any separate design/builder
     employed by Owner, (iii) changes in the Work ordered by Owner, (iv) fire or
     other unavoidable casualties, (v) labor disputes (subject to the provisions
     herein), (vi) unusual delay in transportation, (vii) uncustomary adverse
     weather conditions not reasonably anticipated, (viii) any causes beyond the
     reasonable control of Design/Builder, or (ix) delay authorized by Owner,
     then the Contract Time shall be extended by Change Order for such
     reasonable time as the Owner may determine and solely with respect to
     delays pursuant to (i), (ii), (iii) and (ix), the Design/Builder may also
     make claims to adjust the Contract Price to reflect its reasonable costs,
     as determined by the Owner, incurred as a result of any such delay. In no
     event shall any such extension of Contract Time exceed the actual period of
     time lost by reason of the causes aforesaid. In all events, Design/Builder
     shall use Design/Builder's best efforts to eliminate the cause of any delay
     or minimize any delay.

     14.1.4 Any claim for extension of time shall be made in writing to Owner
     not more than seven days after the commencement of the delay; otherwise it
     shall be waived. In the case of a continuing delay, only one claim is
     necessary. The presentation of any such claim shall not establish the
     validity of the claim. With such claim Design/Builder shall provide an
     estimate of the probable effect of such delay on the progress of the Work,
     and Design/Builder shall immediately take all steps reasonably necessary to
     lessen the adverse impact of such delay.

44.  The following provisions shall be inserted in the Agreement:

     "15.1.1 If for any reason labor employed by Design/Builder (or any other
     person or entity engaged by Design/Builder in connection with the Work or
     for whose work Design/Builder is responsible) takes any action with the
     intent of impeding or stopping the progress of the Work, or individually or
     in concert with others, unlawfully strikes, slows down or otherwise engages
     or participates in any other withholding of or interference with services
     (including honoring pickets or picket lines, improperly performing work
     required to be performed under the Contract Documents or making claims
     resulting in work jurisdiction disputes), and all or any of such actions
     impede or stop the progress of the Work (any such action herein referred to
     as "Improper Practice"), Owner shall have the right to require that
     Design/Builder and/or any such other person or entity take all reasonable
     action to bring about a return to normal operations and the cost thereof
     shall be a Cost of the Work.

     15.1.2 In addition, if the Improper Practice is subject to grievance and/or
     arbitration procedure under an applicable labor agreement between
     Design/Builder or such other person or entity and a union, Design/Builder
     shall be required, at Design Builder's

                                     -21-
<PAGE>

expense as a Cost of the Work, to (and Contractor shall require all such other
persons or entities to) take all action, including legal action, as may be
required, to have the dispute resolved by such grievance or arbitration
procedure, including obtaining, prompt injunctive relief under state or federal
law. Notwithstanding such procedures, Design/Builder shall not be relieved of
its obligation to maintain the progress of the Work according to the
Construction Schedule if the Improper Practice results from a jurisdictional
dispute among laborers or trades employed by Design/Builder with respect to the
prosecution of the Work. Design/Builder shall be entitled to (i) an extension of
the Contract Time and (ii) if Design/Builder is not in default of its
obligations under Paragraph 15.1.1 above, reimbursement from Owner for
Design/Builder's direct out-of-pocket expenses associated therewith, expressly
excluding, however, any profit or fee associated therewith (but there shall be
no adjustment of the Contract Sum) with respect to Improper Practice resulting
from other types of labor disputes. Design/Builder agrees to use its best
efforts to minimize such delays in the progress of the Work.

15.1.3  In the event that Design/Builder or other such person or entity fails,
in the reasonable opinion of Owner, to take prompt remedial action as provided
above, Owner shall have the right after 72 hours' notice to Design/Builder to
(a) take such action in the name of Design/Builder and/or other person or entity
as may be reasonably necessary to obtain an end to the Improper Practice,
including legal action, and (b) back-charge all costs and expenses connected
therewith to Design/Builder, including legal, accounting, administrative and,
other direct, indirect, general and special expenses all of which shall be
deemed Cost of the Work.

15.1.4  Without limitation of the foregoing in the event that the Improper
Practice is found by an arbitration, a grievance committee or a court of proper
jurisdiction, to have been caused primarily by Design/Builder or a Subcontractor
and Design/Builder shall fail to fully comply or shall fail to cause said
Subcontractor to fully comply with the order of such arbitrator, grievance
committee or court with respect thereto, Contractor shall be deemed to have
committed an event of default under this Contract.

15.1.5  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Paragraph 15, no labor
action shall be deemed an Improper Practice if it is a strike of workers within
a particular trade throughout the standard metropolitan statistical area in
which the Project Parcel is located, and in such event for such trades on the
critical path for completion, Design/Builder shall be entitled to claim an
extension of the Contract Time to the extent of the delay caused by such strike.

16.1.1  If the Contract Documents or any Government Requirements require any
portion of the Work to be inspected, tested or approved, Design/Builder shall
give Owner timely notice (not less than 48 hours' prior notice) of its readiness
so Owner may observe such inspection, testing or approval. Design/Builder will
retain the services of a testing laboratory(ies) or service organization
reasonably satisfactory to Owner for purposes of such inspections, tests or
approvals.

16.1.2  If Owner determines that any Work requires special inspection, testing
or approval which Paragraph 16.1.1 does not include, Owner will instruct
Design/Builder to

                                     -22-
<PAGE>

arrange for such special inspection, testing or approval, and Design/Builder
shall give notice of its readiness therefor as provided in Paragraph 16.1.1. Any
testing laboratory or service organization retained by Design Builder for such
purposes must be reasonably satisfactory to Owner. If such inspection or testing
reveals a failure of the Work to comply with the requirements of the Contract
Documents, Contractor shall bear all costs hereof, and shall correct same in
accordance with the Contract Documents; otherwise Owner shall bear such costs,
and an appropriate Change Order shall be issued to adjust the Contract Sum.

16.1.3  Required certificate of inspection, testing or approval shall be secured
by Design/Builder and promptly delivered by Design/Builder to Owner.

16.1.4  Design/Builder shall not be relieved of Design/Builder's obligations to
perform or cause performance of the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents by reason of any errors or omissions contained in any tests performed
by or for Owner, notwithstanding that such tests and the results thereof may
have been delivered to Design/Builder and that Design/Builder may have relied
upon the correction of such tests. The fact that Owner may have provided to
Design/Builder any such tests or the results thereof, shall not relieve
Design/Builder of the obligation to provide all testing necessary to assure
Design/Builder that the Work performed by Design/Builder is in compliance in all
respects with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

16.1.5  Design/Builder shall coordinate the activities of all entities
conducting tests or inspections by or for Owner and shall cooperate fully with
such entities so as to facilitate such tests and inspections.

16.1.6  Separate testing required by or performed by Owner consistent with
normal practice in constructing projects similar to the Project shall not
entitle Design/Builder to any adjustment in the Contract Sum or extension of the
Contract Time.

17.1.1 Attached hereto as Exhibit C, which may be amended from time to time, is
a schedule of values allocated to the various portions of the Work based on the
Project Budget included in the Design/Builder Proposal. Additionally,
contemporaneously with agreeing upon a GMP for the Work as set forth in the
Agreement, Design/Builder shall submit to Owner a schedule of values allocated
to the various portions of the Work, including all of the Work, having at least
the same level of detail as contained on Exhibit C, and otherwise prepared in
such form to substantiate its accuracy as Owner may reasonably require. Owner
shall have final approval over the schedule of values. The applicable schedule
of values, unless reasonably objected to by Owner, shall be (i) used only as a
basis for Design/Builder's applications for payment, and (ii) updated and
revised from time to time at Owner's or Design/Builder's request.

17.1.2  Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Owner, in connection with each
progress payment, Design/Builder shall submit to Owner no later than the 25th
day of each month an itemized application for payment, on A.I.A. Form G-702
(with 703 extension), notarized, supported by such documents and data
substantiating Design/Builder's right to payment as Owner may reasonably require
(it being agreed by

                                     -23-
<PAGE>

Contractor that in no event shall Owner be deemed to have been unreasonable if
Owner requires items which are required by Owner's Lender), and reflecting
retainage as provided elsewhere in the Contract Documents. All other deliveries
required by the Contract Documents to be made with each application for payment
shall also be timely delivered. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in the Contract Documents, Owner may require, as a condition of the
approving and/or making a progress payment, that Design/Builder furnish (a) with
respect to the current application for payment, an affidavit listing every
Subcontractor in connection with the Work and the amounts due or to become due
to such Subcontractors for Work done and materials furnished through the date of
said application for payment; (b) with respect to the current application for
payment, a certified payroll for such month; and (c) with respect to the payment
made for the preceding month, evidence satisfactory to Owner (including paid
invoices for which payment has been made, releases, Design/Builder's affidavits
averring to full payment of all labor and materials covered in said application
for payment, and partial lien waivers from all Subcontractors) that all
payrolls, bills for materials and equipment delivered to the Project Parcel, and
other indebtedness related to the Work and giving rise to all previous
applications for payments up to, but not including, the current one have been
paid in full or otherwise satisfied; (d) a lien waiver from Design/Builder
covering all Work performed through the date of said previous application for
payment; (e) a sworn acknowledgment of payments and credits to which Owner is
entitled by Design/Builder; (f) bills of sale as provided below; and (g)
Design/Builder's statement of percentage of completion, provided, however, that
notwithstanding any provisions of the Contract Documents, which may appear to be
contrary, Owner shall in no event be obligated to pay to Design/Builder an
amount which exceeds the Cost of the Work incurred by Design/Builder to the date
of the Contract application for payment plus a proportionate part of
Design/Builder fees less amounts paid to date and less retainage as provided
elsewhere in the Contract Documents. If requested by Owner, applications for
payments shall be submitted directly to Owner's Lender. In addition,
Design/Builder agrees to provide any additional information or documents that is
reasonably requested by any escrow agent with respect to any escrow agreement
relating to the Work that Contractor is either a party to or has consented to
the terms thereof. The Owner shall retain from any payments due Design/Builder
hereunder, except amounts due for design and engineering, (x) an amount equal to
ten per cent (10%) of the cost of labor and material eligible for payment with
respect to each Subcontractor until each portion of the Work covered by each
subcontract in place plus stored materials related thereto is 50%, and (y) an
amount equal to ten per cent (10%) of the Design/Builder's Fee until 50% of the
total amount of the Design/Builder Fee is eligible for payment, after which time
no further retainage shall be withheld. All retainage shall be released with the
Final Payment.

17.1.3  Each application for payment shall be accompanied by (i) a supplement to
the schedule of values submitted pursuant to Paragraph 17.1.1 indicating any
changes to the amounts allocated to the various portions of the Work, (ii) a
statement by Design/Builder setting forth in detail any deviations from the
Contract Schedule, (iii) if requested by Owner, a log showing on a cumulative
basis through not less than fifteen days prior to the application for payment,
all submissions of Shop Drawings, Samples and Product Data, and (iv)
photographs, as directed by Owner, dated and noted as to orientation.

                                     -24-
<PAGE>

17.1.4  The following minimum documentation shall be submitted by Design/Builder
to Owner with each application for payment and sworn statement on the forms set
forth above or as required by Owner and Owner's Lender:

        (a)  Design/Builder's application for payment and original notarized
             sworn statement.

        (b)  Design/Builder's original conditional waiver of lien contingent
             upon receipt of payment for the amount requested in the current
             application.

        (c)  Design/Builder's original unconditional waiver of lien for the
             amount requested in the previous application for payment (for each
             application after the first) and paid by Owner.

        (d)  Documentation, pursuant to the provisions of the Contract Documents
             relating to stored materials and equipment for which Design/Builder
             is seeking payment.

        (e)  At the time of final payment, Design/Builder shall provide Owner
             with a final unconditional waiver of lien for the final amount
             paid.

        (f)  All waivers of lien, conditional and unconditional, partial or
             final, and all sworn statements must be signed by a representative
             of the Design/Builder duly authorized by Design/Builder to execute
             such legal documents and to legally bind the Design/Builder as set
             forth therein. Evidence of such authorization of Design/Builder's
             representative shall be provided by Design/Builder to Owner as set
             forth in subparagraph (k) below.

        (g)  Subcontractors - Partial/Progress/Monthly Payments.
             --------------------------------------------------

             For each primary tier Subcontractor with a subcontract in excess of
             $10,000, Design/Builder shall obtain and provide to Owner:

             (1) An original waiver of lien except that such waiver shall be
             provided to cover amounts requested in the Design/Builder's
             application for payment immediately preceding the current
             application for payment.

             (2) Current original, notarized affidavits listing all
             subcontractors and otherwise stating the source of labor and
             materials provided for the Work.

        (h)  Subcontractors - Final Payment.
               ------------------------------

             For each Subcontractor of any tier with a subcontract in excess of
             $10,000, Design/Builder shall obtain and provide to Owner:

             (1) An original final unconditional waiver of lien for the full
             subcontract amount.

                                     -25-
<PAGE>

18.1.1  Upon receipt of written notice that the Work is ready for final
inspection and acceptance and upon receipt of a final application for payment,
Owner will promptly make such inspection and, when Owner finds the Work fully
performed and acceptable under the Contract Documents, Design/Builder shall be
entitled to final payment upon the conditions in Paragraph 18.1.2 having been
satisfied.

18.1.2  Neither the final payment nor the retained percentage shall become due
until Design/Builder submits to Owner (1) an affidavit that all payrolls, bills
for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for
which Owner or Owner's property might in any way be responsible, have been paid,
will be paid out of such payment or shall otherwise be satisfied, (2) consent of
surety, if any, to final payment, (3) data establishing payment or satisfaction
of all such obligations, such as receipts, releases and waivers of liens arising
out of this Agreement and all Subcontracts, to the extent and in such form as
may be designated by Owner and Owner's Lender, (4) an assignment to Owner of all
claims which Design/Builder has or may have against all Subcontractors, and (5)
all documents relating to the final payment as required by the Contract
Documents. In the event that any data required by Owner and Owner's Lender
pursuant to (3) above are not or cannot be furnished, then there shall be
furnished to Owner and Owner's Lender a bond or other security reasonably
satisfactory to Owner and Owner's Lender to indemnify Owner and Owner's Lender
against any liens. In lieu of providing a bond or other security, Design/Builder
may cause the title insurer which most recently insured title to the Project
Parcel to issue or endorse its policy of title insurance without exception for
such lien, which insurance shall include insurance against loss or damage by
reason of the unwillingness of any person to purchase the Project Parcel or to
lend money secured by all or any portion of the Project Parcel due to the
existence or possibility of any such lien. If any such lien remains unsatisfied
after all payments are made, Design/Builder shall refund to Owner all monies
that Owner may be compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including all costs
and reasonable attorney's fees. In addition, the following additional
conditions, or any thereof as may be required by Owner, shall have been
fulfilled prior to final payment:

(a)     Design/Builder shall have made, or caused to have been made, all
        corrections in its Work which are required to remedy any defects therein
        or obtain compliance with the applicable Plans and Specifications, to
        obtain a certificate of occupancy (except that if the correction in the
        Work in order to obtain a certificate of occupancy is due to
        noncompliance of the Plans and Specifications with Government
        Requirements and such noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to
        be discovered upon that review which is necessary for proper performance
        of the Work by a fully competent first-class contractor, such correction
        in the Work shall not be a condition to Design/Builder's right to final
        payment) or to fulfill any of the orders or directions of Owner required
        under the Contract Documents including any Punch List. Design/Builder
        shall, if required by Owner, deliver a certificate to Owner certifying
        that the Work has been completed in accordance with the Contract
        Documents, including any properly authorized changes thereto, and
        certifying any other matters Owner's Lender may require. Notwithstanding
        the foregoing, Owner will not withhold final payment on account of minor
        defects and incomplete items which do not prevent use and

                                     -26-
<PAGE>

     occupancy of the property for its intended purposes; instead there shall be
     withheld from final payment such amounts as Owner deems just, representing
     200% of the cost to complete the defective or incomplete items, such
     retained amounts to be disbursed to Design/Builder upon completion of such
     defective or incomplete items.

(b)  Contractor shall organize and have delivered to Owner, together with
     appropriate assignments, if any, all written guarantees, warranties,
     applications for payment and bonds required by the Contract Documents for
     Design/Builder's Work and all operation and maintenance instructions for
     equipment and apparatus and all permits, licenses, approvals, certificates
     and authorizations required by any Government Requirements, for which

     related to the Work; provided, however, that if Owner shall not have
     completed an audit of Design/Builder's books and records within 30 days of
     the date when all other conditions to the final payment have been made,
     then Owner shall be deemed to have waived its right under this Paragraph to
     require a completed audit as a condition to making the final payment (which
     waiver shall not affect Owner's ability to subsequently complete an audit
     of Design/Builder's books and records relating to the Work).

Owner except those arising from:

(a)    unsettled liens;

(c)    latent failures of the Work to comply with the requirements of the
       Contract Documents;

       related to the Work.
