Employment Conditions In accepting the option, you acknowledge that: (a) Any notice period mandated under any applicable laws shall not be treated as service for the purpose of determining the vesting of the option; and your right to receive shares of Common Stock in settlement of the option after termination as an employee, if any, will be measured by the date of your termination as an employee and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under the applicable law. Subject to the foregoing and the provisions of the Plan, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether your status as an employee or other service-provider has terminated and the effective date of such termination. (b) The vesting of the option shall cease upon, and no portion of the option shall become vested following, your termination as an employee or other service-provider for any reason except as may be explicitly provided by the Plan or this Stock Option Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Stock Option Agreement, the unvested portion of the option at the time of your termination as an employee or other service-provider will be forfeited. (c) The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company. It is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, subject to Section 8.6.5 of the Plan. (d) The grant of the option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted repeatedly in the past. (e) All decisions with respect to future option grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company. (f) You are voluntarily participating in the Plan. (g) The option is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for service rendered to the Company (or any Subsidiary), and which is outside the scope of your employment contract, if any. In addition, the option is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments. (h) The future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. If you obtain shares upon settlement of the option, the value of those shares may increase or decrease. (i) No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the option or diminution in value of the option or shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the option resulting from your termination of employment or service (for any reason whether or not in breach of the local law) and you irrevocably release the Company and each Subsidiary from any such claim that may arise. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen then, by signing this Stock Option Agreement, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such a claim.

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.
