4.15 Liquidated Damages <br />The CM specifically recognizes that a delay by the CM in <br />achieving the Substantial Completion of the Project wilt <br />necessarily cause damages, losses, and expenses to the <br />Owner, including, but not limited to and by way of illustration <br />only, increased capitalized costs and interests for the Project, <br />increased and extended Project overhead, Designer's and <br />Consultant's fees, increased costs of construction, increased <br />and extended operation costs of other facilities, and inefficiency <br />and loss of productivity, and that such damages, losses, and <br />expenses may not be readily identifiable or ascertainable at the <br />time they are incurred or at any time. Therefore, and in <br />recognition of these factors and the likelihood that actual <br />damages from his delay will not be readily ascertainable, the <br />CM agrees to pay to the Owner, as Liquidated Damages and <br />not as a penalty, the sum of One Thousand Dollars ($1 •oaa) as <br />the Liquidated Damages per day, for each day by which the <br />failure to meet the Substantial Completion Date shown in the <br />Master Schedule, adjusted in accordance with this Article, <br />delays the Substantial Completion of the Project. The sum for <br />Liquidated Damages is the amount reasonably estimated in <br />advance to cover the losses to be incurred by the Owner by <br />reason of failure of the GM to complete the Project within the <br />time specified, such time being in the essence of this contract <br />and a material consideration thereof. <br />ARTICLE 5 <br />CHANGES IN THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER'S <br />SERVICES AND ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION <br />5.1 Owner Changes <br />The Owner, without invalidating this Agreement, may make <br />changes in the CM's Services specified in Article 3 of this <br />Agreement.

If possible, the amendment shall be executed by the <br />Owner and CM prior to the CM pertorming the services <br />required by the amendment, but failure to agree on <br />compensation for a change in Services shall not be grounds for <br />the CM to cease or refuse to provide the Services reasonably <br />requested by the Owner. The CM shall proceed to pertorm the <br />services required by the amendment only after receiving notice <br />directing the CM to proceed. <br />5.1.2 Additional Compensation and Extended Duration <br />The CM shall be entitled to receive additional compensation <br />and additional time when the scope or planned duration of <br />Services is increased or extended through the fault of the <br />Owner.
