Commencement of Term (a) The Premises shall be deemed substantially completed upon the issuance of a certificate of substantial completion by Landlord's architect or a certificate of occupancy by the local building authority, notwithstanding that minor or insubstantial details of construction, mechanical adjustment or decoration remain to be performed. If the substantial completion of the Premises by Landlord is delayed in any way by Tenant or Tenant's Representatives, the Premises shall be deemed substantially completed for purposes of this Section on the date when they would have been substantially completed but for such delay. (b) Tenant's taking possession of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence that the Premises were in good order, condition and repair when Tenant took possession, except for those matters (for which Landlord is responsible as provided in this Lease) of which Tenant gives Landlord notice within 10 days after taking possession. Landlord shall complete or repair such matters as soon as reasonably possible. (c) If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant within 180 days after the Expected Commencement Date (the Outside Commencement Date), then Tenant, as its sole remedy, may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given within 10 days after the Outside Commencement Date. The Outside Commencement Date shall be extended by the period of any delay described in Section 1(a). Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or any third party for its failure to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant. If the Commencement Date does not occur within one year after the Expected Commencement Date, this Lease shall terminate and Landlord and Tenant shall have no further obligations to the other, except as may otherwise be provided in this Lease. (d) After the Commencement Date has been determined, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a supplemental agreement specifying the Commencement Date, Termination Date and such other information as Landlord shall reasonably require.
Term of Agreement; Termination The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and such term and this Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Effective Time, and (ii) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. Upon such termination, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities hereunder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, such termination shall not relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.
TIME OF COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION 2.1 The Contractor shall commence the Work upon the date established in the Notice to Proceed. 2.2 The Contractor shall achieve Final Completion, as defined in Section 105.01, Contract Time, Notice of Contract Execution and Notice to Proceed of the Loudoun County Revisions to the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ & Bridge Specifications, Division I - General Provisions, within one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days from the date specified in the Notice to Proceed. This time period shall be designated the Contract Time. The Notice to proceed will be issued approximately than thirty (30) days after the execution of this agreement. The Contractor agrees that the time for completion of the Work as described in the Contract Documents shall govern unless specifically amended in writing by the County, and that no claims for early completion are allowed to be presented by the Contractor to the County. 2.3 The County specifies that time is of the essence under this Contract. Time being of the essence, it is essential to the County that Contract work will be completed within the Contract Time. The County and the Contractor agree that damages for failure to complete the work within the Contract Time are not susceptible to exact determination but that $600 per day is in proportion to the actual loss that the County would suffer from such delay. Therefore, the Contractor will pay the County on demand $600 per day for each and every day beyond the one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days, or modified date of completion, that the County determines that work is not complete, as damages caused by such delay and not as a penalty. The County shall be entitled to offset liquidated damages against any sum owed by the County to the Contractor under this Contract. 2.4 The amount of liquidated damages set forth in Articles 2.3 above shall be assessed cumulatively. This provision for liquidated damages does not bar County's right to enforce other rights and remedies against Contractor, which are otherwise legally enforceable, including but not limited to, specific performance or injunctive relief. 2.5 The Contractor hereby waives any defense as to the validity of any liquidated damages stated in this Agreement as they may appear on grounds that such liquidated damages are void as penalties or are not reasonably related to actual damages.

Provided further that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Time Extension shall be due and applicable only for the Works which are affected by the aforesaid events or circumstances and shall not in any manner affect the Project Completion Schedule for and in respect of the Works which are not affected hereunder. (iii) On the failure of the Contractor to issue to the Authority’s Engineer a notice in accordance with the provisions of Clause 10.5 (ii) within the time specified therein, the Contractor shall not be entitled to any Time Extension and shall forfeit its right for any such claims in future. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of failure of the Contractor to issue notice as specified in this clause 10.5 (iii), the Authority shall be discharged from all liability in connection with the claim. (iv) The Authority’s Engineer shall, on receipt of the claim in accordance with the provisions of Clause 10.5 (ii), examine the claim expeditiously within the time frame specified herein.

The Contractor shall, on receipt of the communication of the Authority’s Engineer requesting for clarification, furnish the same to the Authority’s Engineer within 10 (ten) days thereof. The Authority’s Engineer shall, within a period of 30 (thirty) days from the date of receipt of such clarifications, forward in writing to the Contractor its determination of Time Extension. Provided that when determining each extension of time under this Clause 10.5, the Authority’s Engineer shall review previous determinations and may increase, but shall not decrease, the total Time Extension. (v) If the event or circumstance giving rise to the notice has a continuing effect: (a) a fully detailed claim shall be considered as interim; (b) the Contractor shall, no later than 10 (ten) days after the close of each month, send further interim claims specifying the accumulated delay, the extension of time claimed, and such further particulars as the Authority’s Engineer may reasonably require; and (c) the Contractor shall send a final claim within 30 (thirty) days after the effect of the event or the circumstance ceases.
