Performance Criteria:

         DESIGN/BUILDER  represents  and  warrants  to OWNER that the  completed
Project  will  achieve  each  of  the  following  performance  criteria.   After
DESIGN/BUILDER determines the Plant is ready for start-up, DESIGN/BUILDER,  with
OWNER's  labor  forces,   will  start-up  the  Plant  and  conduct  a  seven-day
performance test to establish  compliance with each of the performance  criteria
except the atmospheric  emissions.  Compliance shall be measured  simultaneously
for all  criteria,  and computed on the average over the  seven-day  performance
test.  If  the  Project  fails  to  reach  any   performance   criterion,   then
DESIGN/BUILDER  shall (at no  additional  cost to OWNER)  make such  changes  in
design, construction, or equipment as required to meet the criteria, and conduct
another seven day performance  test.  Upon successful  completion of a seven-day
performance test, the Plant shall be considered to have achieved the performance
criteria  listed  below  (other than the  atmospheric  emissions  criteria)  for
purposes of the foregoing representation and warranty of DESIGN/BUILDER.

                   Agreement Between Owner and Design/Builder
                       On the Basis of a Stipulated Price


General Project Scope:


Construct a no less than One Hundred Ten (110) million gallon per year (MGY) dry
mill fuel-grade ethanol plant located in or near Council Bluffs, Iowa. The plant
will grind  approximately  39 million bushels per year to produce  approximately
One Hundred (110) MGY of fuel-grade ethanol denatured with five percent gasoline
(or a similar  product).  The plant will also produce not less than 338,000 tons
per year of 12% moisture Dry Distillers Grains (DDG), and approximately  293,000
tons per year of raw carbon dioxide (CO2) gas.

OWNER to provide  DESIGN/BUILDER  a level site and which  shall have a soil load
bearing capacity as specified in the attached table.
OWNER supplied grain system
will  provide  a  consistent  supply  of grain to the  rotary  feeder  above the
DESIGN/BUILDER supplied hammermills. .

Ground grain will be mixed in a slurry tank and routed  through a working system
consisting of a  hydroheater,  cook tube, and flash tank. The mash will continue
through   liquefaction   and  associated   heat   exchangers  to   fermentation.
Simultaneously,  propagated  yeast will be added to the mash as the fermenter is
filling.  After batch  fermentation is complete,  the beer will be pumped to the
beer well and then to the beer column to vaporize the alcohol from the mash.

Alcohol streams are dehydrated in the distillation column, the side stripper and
the molecular sieve system. Two hundred proof alcohol is pumped to the tank farm
shift tanks and blended  with five  percent  denaturant  as the product is being
pumped into a final storage tank.

Corn mash from the beer stripper is dewatered by decanter type  centrifuge.  Wet
cake from the centrifuge is conveyed to the wetcake pad or drying system.  Water
in the thin  stillage  can be  evaporated  and  recycled by the  Bio-Methanation
system.

DESIGN/BUILDER  will  provide  its  standard  design for the fire pump house and
water treatment space. Any additional requirements will be an additional cost to
OWNER.

The design  includes  a  compressed  air system  consisting  of  compressors,  a
receiver tank, pre-filter, coalescing filter and air dryer.

The  design  also  incorporates  the use of a  clean-in-place  (CIP)  system for
cleaning cook, fermentation,  distillation,  evaporation,  centrifuges and other
systems.  Fifty percent  caustic soda is received by truck and stored in a tank.
The CIP system uses tanks for receiving, make-up, CIP return and CIP waste which
is fed to the  methanator.  The CIP system  includes a CIP Tank,  a 50%  Caustic
tank, and a Waste CIP tank. A screen is used to remove the solids.

Under normal  operating  circumstances,  the Plant will not have any  wastewater
discharges that have been in contact with corn and sorghum mash, cleaning system
or    contact    process    water.    A    bio-methanator     manufactured    by
DESIGN/BUILDER/Phoenix  will reduce the organic acids in process water  allowing
complete reuse within the Plant and is included in the Contract Price. The Plant
will


                                      -8-

have blowdown  discharges from the cooling tower,  water softeners,  and Reverse
Osmosis system. OWNER is responsible for all permits,  purchase and installation
of pumps,  waterline  construction,  sanitary sewer  construction,  necessary to
discharge  the blowdown from the cooling  tower,  water  softeners,  and Reverse
Osmosis system.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a co-product of the fermentation process. CO2 is allowed
under current Laws and Regulations to be vented to the atmosphere.  Installation
of a plant or system to capture,  clean and  compress the CO2 is not included in
the Work. OWNER, at its cost, may add a blower, certain associated equipment and
a small  amount  of piping to move the CO2 from the  fermenter  to a  collection
point for sale or further processing.

Most of the  processes  within  the  Plant  will  be  computer  controlled  by a
Siemens/Moore APACS distributed control system with graphical user interface and
three  workstations  all located in the plant control room, which is included in
the Contract Price. No workstation is provided for the  administrative  building
or any other  location.  It is  estimated  that the system  will  consist of 200
discrete inputs, 200 discreet outputs, 175 analog inputs and 120 analog outputs.
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) will control certain process equipment.

The Work provided by  DESIGN/BUILDER  will meet  specifications,  criteria,  and
allowances as provided in the Construction  Permit and all other applicable Laws
and Regulations enacted as of the Effective Date.

     representatives     (hereinafter     collectively     referred     to    as
     "Representatives").  Information and materials shall not be deemed to be in
     the public  domain  merely  because  such  information  is embraced by more
     general  disclosures in the public domain,  and any combination of features
     shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing  exceptions  merely  because
     individual  features are in the public domain if the combination itself and
     its principles of operation are not in the public domain.

     3. OWNER shall not use the Proprietary  Property for any purpose other than
     the Purpose.  OWNER shall not use the  Proprietary  Property in  connection
     with any expansion or  enlargement  of the Plant.  Within * days of OWNER's
     request to expand or enlarge the Plant,  ICM and OWNER will meet to discuss
     such expansion and will negotiate in good faith the Terms and Conditions of
     such expansion (including a mutually agreeable schedule for such expansion)
     on either a fixed  price  basis or a Time and  Material  basis with a fixed
     License  Fee.  At OWNER's  request,  ICM will use  commercially  reasonable
     efforts to schedule  engineering  for an  expansion or  enlargement  of the
     Plant within * of such request,  and will negotiate in good faith the Terms
     and  Conditions  of such  expansion on either a fixed price basis or a Time
     and Material  basis with a fixed  license fee. ICM and its  Representatives
     shall have the express  right,  at a  reasonable  time so not to  interrupt
     OWNER's operations,  to enter upon the premises of the Plant to inspect the
     Plant and its operation to ensure that OWNER is complying with the terms of
     this License Agreement.

SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

     4. OWNER's failure to materially comply with the Operating Procedures shall
     void all guarantees,  representations and warranties,  whether expressed or
     implied, if any, that were given by ICM to OWNER in the Contract concerning
     the  performance of the Plant.  OWNER agrees to indemnify,  defend and hold
     harmless ICM and ICM's Representatives from any and all losses, damages and
     expenses  including,   without  limitation,   reasonable   attorneys'  fees
     resulting   from,   relating   to  or   arising   out  of  OWNER's  or  its
     Representatives'  (i)  failure  to  materially  comply  with the  Operating
     Procedures or, (ii) negligent use of the Proprietary Property.

     5. Any and all  modifications  to the Proprietary  Property by OWNER or its
     Representatives  shall be the property of ICM. OWNER shall promptly  notify
     ICM of any such  modification  and OWNER agrees to assign all of its right,
     title and interest in such modification to ICM;  provided,  however,  OWNER
     shall retain the right, at no cost, to use such  modification in connection
     with the Purpose.

     6. ICM has the  exclusive  right  and  interest  in and to the  Proprietary
     Property and the goodwill associated therewith. OWNER will not, directly or
     indirectly,  contest ICM's ownership of the


                                      -18-

     Proprietary Property. OWNER's use of the Proprietary Property does not give
     OWNER any  ownership  interest or other  interest in or to the  Proprietary
     Property  except  for the  limited  license  granted to OWNER  herein.  Any
     goodwill derived or created by the operation of the Plant and all financial
     benefits  derived from the  operation of the Plant shall be the property of
     the OWNER.

     7. OWNER  shall pay no license fee or royalty to ICM for OWNER's use of the
     Proprietary  Property pursuant to the limited license granted to OWNER, the
     consideration  for this limited  license is included in the amounts payable
     by OWNER to ICM for the construction of the Plant under the Contract.

     8. OWNER may not assign the limited license granted herein,  in whole or in
     part,  without  the  prior  written  consent  of  ICM,  which  will  not be
     unreasonably  withheld or  delayed.  Prior to any  assignment,  OWNER shall
     obtain  from such  assignee  a written  instrument,  in form and  substance
     reasonably  acceptable  to ICM,  agreeing  to be bound by all the terms and
     provisions  of this  License  Agreement.  Any  assignment  of this  License
     Agreement  shall not  release  OWNER from (i) its  duties  and  obligations
     hereunder concerning the disclosure and use of the Proprietary Property, or
     (ii)  damages to ICM  resulting  from,  or arising out of, a breach of such
     duties or obligations by OWNER or its  Representatives.  ICM may assign its
     right,  title and interest in the Proprietary  Property,  in whole or part,
     subject to the limited license granted herein.

     9. The Proprietary  Property is confidential and  proprietary.  OWNER shall
     keep the  Proprietary  Property  confidential  and shall use all reasonable
     efforts to maintain the Proprietary Property as secret and confidential for
     the sole use of OWNER and its Representatives for the Purpose.  OWNER shall
     retain all  Proprietary  Property at its principal place of business and/or
     the Plant. OWNER shall not at any time without ICM's prior written consent,
     copy,  duplicate,  record, or otherwise reproduce the Proprietary Property,
     in  whole  or in  part,  or  otherwise  make  the  same  available  to  any
     unauthorized  person.  OWNER shall not  disclose the  Proprietary  Property
     except to its  Representatives  who are directly involved with the Purpose,
     and even then only to such extent as is necessary  and  essential  for such
     Representative's  involvement.  OWNER shall inform such  Representatives of
     the  confidential  and  proprietary  nature  of such  information  and,  if
     requested  by ICM,  OWNER shall obtain from such  Representative  a written
     instrument, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to ICM, agreeing to
     be bound by all of the  terms and  provisions  of this  License  Agreement.
     OWNER  shall make all  reasonable  efforts  to  safeguard  the  Proprietary
     Property  from  disclosure  by its  Representatives  to anyone  other  than
     permitted hereby.  OWNER shall notify ICM immediately upon discovery of any
     unauthorized  use or disclosure of the Proprietary  Property,  or any other
     breach of this License Agreement by OWNER or its Representatives, and shall
     cooperate with ICM in every reasonable way to help ICM regain possession of
     the  Proprietary  Property  and  prevent its  further  unauthorized  use or
     disclosure.  In the event that OWNER or its Representatives are required by
     law to disclose  the  Proprietary  Property,  OWNER shall  provide ICM with
     prompt  written  notice of same so that ICM may seek a protective  order or
     other appropriate  remedy. In the event that such protective order or other
     appropriate  remedy  is not  obtained,  OWNER or its  Representatives  will
     furnish  only  that  portion  of  the  Proprietary  Property  which  in the
     reasonable  opinion of its or their legal  counsel is legally  required and
     will exercise its reasonable  efforts to obtain reliable assurance that the
     Proprietary Property so disclosed will be accorded confidential treatment.

     10.  OWNER  agrees to  indemnify  ICM for any and all  damages  (including,
     without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or resulting
     from any  unauthorized  disclosure  or use of the  Proprietary  Property by
     OWNER or its  Representatives.  OWNER agrees that ICM would be  irreparably
     damaged by reason of a violation  of the  provisions  contained  herein and
     that any


                                      -19-

     remedy at law for a breach of such  provisions  would be inadequate.  OWNER
     agrees  that ICM shall be entitled to seek  injunctive  or other  equitable
     relief  in  a  court  of  competent   jurisdiction  against  OWNER  or  its
     Representatives  for any unauthorized  disclosure or use of the Proprietary
     Property  without the necessity of proving actual  monetary loss or posting
     any bond. It is expressly understood that the remedy described herein shall
     not be the exclusive  remedy of ICM for any breach of such  covenants,  and
     ICM shall be  entitled  to seek such other  relief or remedy,  at law or in
     equity,  to which it may be entitled as a consequence of any breach of such
     duties or obligations.

     11. The duties and obligations of OWNER under this License  Agreement,  and
     all provisions  relating to the  enforcement of such duties and obligations
     shall  survive  and  remain in full force and  effect  notwithstanding  any
     termination or expiration of the Contract or this License Agreement.

     12. ICM may  terminate  the limited  license  granted to OWNER  herein upon
     written notice to OWNER if OWNER willfully or wantonly uses the Proprietary
     Property for any purpose, or discloses the Proprietary  Property to anyone,
     other than permitted herein.  Upon termination of the license,  OWNER shall
     cease  using  the  Proprietary  Property  for any  purpose  (including  the
     Purpose)  and,  upon  request  by ICM,  shall  promptly  return  to ICM all
     documents or other materials in OWNER's or its Representatives'  possession
     that contain  Proprietary  Property in whatever format,  whether written or
     electronic,   including  any  and  all  copies  or   reproductions  of  the
     Proprietary  Property.  OWNER shall permanently delete all such Proprietary
     Property  from its computer  hard drives and any other  electronic  storage
     medium (including any backup or archive system). OWNER shall deliver to ICM
     a  written  certificate  which  certifies  that all  electronic  copies  or
     reproductions of the Proprietary Property have been permanently deleted.

     13. ICM  represents  and warrants that, as of the date first above written,
     ICM has not received  notice of any claim against ICM and/or one or more of
     its customers  under which a third-party  claims the  Proprietary  Property
     infringes  any rights  under  patents,  trade  secrets,  copyright or other
     intellectual  property  rights  of  such  third-party.  ICM  shall  defend,
     indemnify  and hold  harmless  OWNER  from and  against  any and all claims
     arising  out of or  resulting  from the  infringement  of any rights  under
     patents, trade secrets, copyrights or other intellectual property rights in
     respect to  OWNER's  use of the  Proprietary  Property  for the  Purpose in
     accordance  with this License  Agreement.  ICM shall,  at its sole expense,
     have the right to defend  against  any such  claim.  OWNER  shall  promptly
     notify ICM upon  becoming  aware of any such claim.  ICM, in order to avoid
     any  such  claim,  shall  have  the  right  at its  expense  to  substitute
     non-infringing  invention,  design, process, product or device or to modify
     such infringing invention, design, process, product or device so it becomes
     non-infringing,  or to obtain the necessary  licenses to use the infringing
     invention,   design,   process,   product  or  device  provided  that  such
     substituted  and modified  invention,  design,  process,  product or device
     shall meet all the  requirements  and be subject to all the  provisions  of
     this License Agreement.

     14. The laws of the State of Kansas, United States of America, shall govern
     the validity of the provisions  contained herein,  the construction of such
     provisions, and the interpretation of the rights and duties of the parties.
     Any legal  action  brought to enforce or construe  the  provisions  of this
     License  Agreement  shall be brought in the federal or state courts located
     in Kansas,  and the  parties  agree to and hereby  submit to the  exclusive
     jurisdiction  of such  courts  and  agree  that they  will not  invoke  the
     doctrine  of forum non  conveniens  or other  similar  defenses in any such
     action brought in such courts.


                                      -20-

     15.  OWNER  hereby  agrees  to  waive  all  claims  against  ICM and  ICM's
     Representatives  for any  consequential  damages  that may  arise out of or
     relate to this License Agreement,  the Contract or the Proprietary Property
     whether arising in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence),  strict
     liability  or  otherwise,  including  but not  limited  to  losses  of use,
     profits, business, reputation or financing. OWNER agrees that the aggregate
     amount  OWNER (and anyone  claiming by or through  OWNER) may  collectively
     recover from ICM (and its Representatives), *

     hereof   and   supersede   any   prior   understandings,    agreements   or
     representations  by or between the  parties,  written or oral.  Any rule of
     construction to the effect that any ambiguity is to be resolved against the
     drafting  party  shall  not be  applicable  in the  interpretation  of this
     License Agreement. This License Agreement may not be modified or amended at
     any time without the written consent of the parties.

     18. In the event that any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements
     contained in this License  Agreement,  or the  application  of any thereof,
     shall be held by a court of competent  jurisdiction to be invalid,  illegal
     or  unenforceable,  such term,  condition,  covenant or agreement  shall be

                   Agreement Between Owner and Design/Builder
                       On the Basis of a Stipulated Price



ICM Training:


The Contract Price includes a commitment by  DESIGN/BUILDER  to perform  certain
training  for certain  personnel  of OWNER at OWNER's  ethanol  plant,  which is
located in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Employee training will be coordinated by operational personnel of DESIGN/BUILDER
with the support of  personnel  of OWNER on location at OWNER's  ethanol  plant.
Vendor training will also occur in conjunction with this training.  The specific
schedule,  attendees and training detail will be provided as Plant start up date
is determined.

Such  personnel of OWNER will have the  opportunity to operate the ethanol plant
under the supervision of operators of  DESIGN/BUILDER  . It is anticipated  that
personnel  participating  in such  training  will  include  the  plant  manager,
laboratory manager and shift supervisors who will work at the Plant for a period
of 1-3 weeks.  DESIGN/BUILDER  will not charge any fee to OWNER for this startup
training and DESIGN/BUILDER  will provide all training  materials.  Expenses for
OWNER's employees such as travel,  salaries, rooms and meals of the participants
will be the responsibility of OWNER.

Training Course Outline

ICM  provides a six week  training  course for all  production  employees of the
facility. These six weeks are coordinated as follows:

     1.   Classroom  training.  (first week) Each day of this week begins with a
          two hour safety topic (i.e.  lock-out tag-out,  confined space, hazard
          communication,  etc.) to expose the  employees  to safety  precautions
          applicable  to the  process.  The  remaining  time is dedicated to the
          chemistry and unit operations used for converting grain to ethanol:

               • cook (liquefaction of starch to dextrin's)
               •    fermentation  (conversion  of sugar to  ethanol  and  carbon
                    dioxide)
               •    distillation/evaporation  (separation  of ethanol from water
                    and corn solids)
               •    centrifugation (concentration of corn solids)
               •    dried distiller's grain dryer systems.
     2.   Employees are sent to an ethanol  facility in operation  (second week)>
          each day they receive four hours of  classroom  training  covering the
          same  topics  as in week  one.  They  also  experience  four  hours of
          hands-on learning with the facility's operators.  This exposes them to
          the duties  required  of an  operator  including:  sampling,  computer
          operations,  key  operating  parameters,  safety  concerns and overall
          plant operations culture.
     3.   Employees are given  specific  vendor  training on topics (third week)
          including but not limited to:
                •    enzymes
                •    yeast
                •    boiler operations


                                      -23-

                •    water treatment
                •    centrifuge operation
                •    pump operation
                •    instrumentation
                •    heat exchangers
                •    cooling tower
                •    grain handling
                •    methanator water treatment.
                •    rolling stock


         ICM also  provides  a Process  Hazard  Analysis  review  with the plant
         management  team  and  several  operators.   This  is  led  by  an  ICM
         professional engineer.  When no presentations are scheduled,  employees
         are assigned the task of labeling tanks,  piping and equipment in order
         to  increase  their  familiarity  with  equipment  location  and piping
         contents.
     4.   Similar as week three. (fourth week)
     5.   Employees return to an operating plant.  (fifth week) This visit, they
          are  allowed  to  run  the  ethanol  process  while  under  the  plant
          operator's supervision.
     6.   The ICM start up team is on-site to start water  trials  (sixth  week)
          (this may begin in week five as well).  The  boiler is started up this
          week or possibly the week prior under  supervision of the manufacturer
          and boiler  inspector.  Water is introduced into the first tank in the
          process and transferred through the piping system in order to test the
          following:

          •    vessel integrity
          •    welding quality
          •    valve and instrument performance and tuning
          •    pump performance
          •    vacuum leaks in the distillation system
          •    heat exchanger integrity
         Steam is introduced into the cook system and evaporator  system to test
         for leaks and expansion joint performance.  The cooling tower is filled
         and circulated as well. Thus, prior to the introduction of grain to the
         hammer mills,  the entire  process is brought up to flow,  pressure and
         temperature  using water and steam.  This not only tests the mechanical
         integrity  of the  workmanship  but also  provides the  employees  with
         additional experience operating the control system.

         It is recommended  plant employees are on the 24 hour coverage schedule
         to ensure water trials are completed in a timely manner.


In  addition,  for * days  after  Substantial  Completion,  Design/Builder  will
provide  up to two (2)  ICM  representatives  on-site  technical  and  operating
support.  Design/Builder  will also provide  off-site  support for a period of *
days after Substantial  Completion.  All of the foregoing services will be at no
additional cost to OWNER.

limit.

DESIGN/BUILDER  reserves  the right at its own  discretion,  to void any and all
warranty if the operation of the Plant and/or its subsystems,  exceeds nameplate
capacity by five percent (5%) or more.

DESIGN/BUILDER  is OWNER's  first  point of contact for any claim of warranty by
OWNER against  DESIGN/BUILDER  concerning Plant  equipment,  during the warranty
period.

The cost of labor  performed by vendors  other than  DESIGN/BUILDER  to settle a
warranty claim situation,  without written permission from DESIGN/BUILDER,  will
not be covered under any warranty expressed or implied by DESIGN/BUILDER.

What is furnished under the warranty:

The warranty will furnish  replacement  consumables  and parts covered under the
warranty.  Labor  will only be  furnished  by  DESIGN/BUILDER  to  repair  items
warranted for workmanship and originally designed and built by DESIGN/BUILDER.

What is covered by the warranty:

exchangers, agitators, centrifuges, fans, blowers, Hvac units, and other related
equipment.

chain reaction, from improper operation,  abuse or neglect of other equipment or
procedures in the process  equipment  critical path and/or acts of God,  whether

surges, power outages or poor quality power from the electricity supplier.

Warranty will not cover leaking plate and frame  exchangers  after the seven (7)
day performance test described in Exhibit A.

Procedure for warranty claim:

DESIGN/BUILDER  does not expect  OWNER to remain out of service  with  equipment
that has failed  during the warranty  period while trying to settle the warranty
claim. Whether covered by warranty or not the plant must operate.

Consumable  items such as  motors,  gearboxes,  seals,  switchgear  and  similar
equipment should be replaced and the damaged unit returned to  DESIGN/BUILDER or
made available for  inspection by  DESIGN/BUILDER.  DESIGN/BUILDER  reserves the
right to return the item to the  manufacturer  for evaluation  before settling a
warranty issue.

Failure to return or produce for  inspection the damaged parts or equipment will
void any warranty expressed or implied.


                                      -27-

     1.   The first  step by OWNER to  satisfy a  warranty  question  is to call
          DESIGN/BUILDER's  project  manager (or the  delegated  alternate)  and
          notify that person of the claim. Provide the following information:

          A.   Item nomenclature
          B.   Equipment or part number
          C.   Description of failure
          D.   Corrective action taken
          E.   Location and disposition of failed item

     2.   Fill out the electronic form provided by  DESIGN/BUILDER  and send the
          form by mail or email to the Project manager or his designate.

     3.   Project manager or delegate will respond within one (1) working day to
          acknowledge the claim and  documentation,  by phone and follow up with
          email.

     4.   Determination  of settlement  will be made in forty-five  (45) days or
          less by  DESIGN/BUILDER.  If conflict  arises  from the  determination
          between OWNER and DESIGN/BUILDER, such conflict will be resolved under
          the  dispute  resolution  procedure  set  forth in  Article  15 of the
          General Conditions.

Warranty Period:

The warranty  period is the twelve (12) month period  commencing  on the date of
Substantial  Completion  and  ending on the date  that is 12 months  immediately
thereafter.  In order for OWNER to make a warranty claim the deficiency  must be
discovered,  and OWNER must notify  DESIGN/BUILDER in writing of such deficiency
within this warranty period.

others on extensions of the Project or on any other  project.  Any reuse without
written  verification or adaptation by  DESIGN/BUILDER  for the specific purpose
intended will be at OWNER's sole risk and without liability or legal exposure to
DESIGN/BUILDER,  and OWNER shall  indemnify  and hold  harmless  DESIGN/BUILDER,
Subcontractors,  and  Engineer  from all claims,  damages,  losses and  expenses
including  attorneys'  fees  arising  out of or  resulting  therefrom.  Any such

will have to comply in performing the Work. Any and all easements  necessary for
the Work will be obtained and paid for by OWNER.

    C. OWNER shall provide such lands and access  thereto that may be reasonably
required by DESIGN/BUILDER for temporary  construction  facilities or storage of
materials and equipment.

4.02     Differing Site Conditions

    A. DESIGN/BUILDER  shall promptly,  and before the conditions are disturbed,
give a written notice to OWNER of (i) subsurface or latent  physical  conditions
at the  Site  which  differ  materially  from  those  indicated  in the  OWNER's
geotechnical report for the Project site or the land and grading  specifications
listed in Exhibit E, or (ii)  unknown  physical  conditions  at the Site,  of an
unusual nature,  which differ  materially from those ordinarily  encountered and
generally  recognized  as  inhering in work of the  character  called for by the
Contract Documents.

    B. OWNER will  investigate the site conditions  promptly after receiving the
notice.  If the  conditions  do  materially  so differ and cause an  increase or
decrease in the  DESIGN/BUILDER's  cost of or time in performing any part of the
Work, an equitable  adjustment  shall be made under this clause and the Contract
Times and/or  Contract  Price  modified in writing by Change Order in accordance
with Article 9.

    C. No request  by  DESIGN/BUILDER  for an  equitable  adjustment  under this
paragraph  4.02 shall be allowed  unless  DESIGN/BUILDER  has given the  written
notice  required;  provided  that the time  prescribed  in paragraph  9.02.A for
giving written notice may be extended by OWNER.


                                      -36-

for the accurate  replacement or relocation of such reference points or property
monuments by professionally qualified personnel.

4.04    Hazardous Conditions

    A. OWNER  represents  and warrants  that there is no Hazardous  Condition or
materials that could create a Hazardous Condition existing at the Site as of the
Effective  Date of the  Agreement  that has not been  disclosed  in  writing  to
DESIGN/BUILDER and that OWNER or OWNER's officers, directors, employees, agents,
other consultants or subcontractors  shall not bring to the Site during the term
of the  Agreement any materials  creating a Hazardous  Condition.  OWNER will be
responsible  for any Hazardous  Condition  encountered at the Site which was not
identified in the Contract  Documents to be within the scope of the Work.  OWNER
shall not be responsible for materials creating a Hazardous Condition brought to
the Site by  DESIGN/BUILDER,  Subcontractors,  Suppliers or anyone else for whom
DESIGN/BUILDER is responsible.

    B. DESIGN/BUILDER and any affected  Subcontractor shall immediately (i) stop
all  Construction  in connection  with such Hazardous  Condition and in any area
affected  thereby  (except in an emergency as required by paragraph  6.15),  and
(ii) notify OWNER (and thereafter  confirm such notice in writing).  OWNER shall
promptly  determine  the  necessity of retaining a qualified  expert to evaluate
such Hazardous Condition or take corrective action, if any. DESIGN/BUILDER shall
not be  required  to resume  Construction  in  connection  with  such  Hazardous
Condition  or in any such  affected  area until  after  OWNER has  obtained  any
required permits related thereto and delivered to DESIGN/BUILDER special written
notice (i) specifying that such Hazardous  Condition and any affected area is or
has been rendered safe for the resumption of  Construction,  or (ii)  specifying
any special  conditions under which such  Construction may be resumed safely. If
OWNER and  DESIGN/BUILDER  cannot  agree as to  entitlement  to or the amount or
extent of an adjustment,  if any, in the Contract Times and/or Contract Price as
a result of such  Construction  stoppage or such special  conditions under which
Construction is agreed by DESIGN/BUILDER to be resumed,  either party may make a
claim therefor as provided in Article 9.

    C. To the fullest  extent  permitted  by Laws and  Regulations,  OWNER shall
indemnify and hold harmless DESIGN/BUILDER, Subcontractors, Suppliers, Engineers
and  the  officers,   directors,   employees,   agents,  other  consultants  and
subcontractors  of each and any of them  from and  against  all  claims,  costs,
losses and damages (including but not limited to all reasonable fees and charges
of engineers,  architects,  attorneys and other  professionals  and all court or
arbitration or other dispute  resolution costs) arising out of or resulting from
such Hazardous Condition.  Nothing in this paragraph 4.04.C shall obligate OWNER
to indemnify any individual or any entity,  including  DESIGN/BUILDER,  from and
against the  consequences  of that  individual's  or entity's own  negligence or
willful  misconduct.  OWNER shall not be obligated to indemnify or hold harmless
DESIGN/BUILDER,  Subcontractors, Suppliers or any other individual or any entity
for any such  claim,  cost,  loss or damage  arising  out of or  resulting  from
materials creating a Hazardous  Condition brought to the Site by DESIGN/BUILDER,
Subcontractors,  Suppliers  or  any  other  party  for  whom  DESIGN/BUILDER  is
responsible.

provisions  to the effect that in the event of payment of any loss or damage the
insurers  will  have no  rights  of  recovery  against  any of the  insureds  or
additional insureds  thereunder.  Each party waives all rights against the other
party and its officers, directors, employees, members, and agents for all losses

as fiduciary shall adjust and settle the loss with the insurers and, if required
in writing by any party in interest,  OWNER as fiduciary shall give Bond for the
proper performance of such duties.

5.07     Acceptance of Insurance; Option to Replace

    A. If either party has any  objection  to the coverage  afforded by or other
provisions of the insurance required to be purchased and maintained by the other
party in  accordance  with this  Article  5 on the basis of the other  party not
complying with the Contract  Documents,  the objecting party shall so notify the
other party in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of the certificates

by the Contract Documents, such party shall notify the other party in writing of
such failure to purchase  prior to the start of the Work,  or of such failure to
maintain prior to any change in the required coverage.  Without prejudice to any
other right or remedy, the other party may elect to obtain equivalent  insurance
to protect  such other  party's  interests  at the  expense of the party who was
supposed to provide such coverage, and a Change Order or Written Amendment shall
be issued to adjust the Contract Price accordingly.

maintained by OWNER or DESIGN/BUILDER shall be obtained from insurance companies
that are duly licensed or authorized in the jurisdiction in which the Project is
located to issue  insurance  policies for the limits and  coverages so required.
Such  insurance  companies  shall  also meet such  additional  requirements  and
qualifications as may be agreed in writing by DESIGN/BUILDER and OWNER.

    authorized adjustments) payable to DESIGN/BUILDER for performing the Work.

    B. The Contract  Price may only be changed by a Change Order or by a Written

    overhead and profit not necessarily in accordance with paragraph 10.02); or

    2. Where agreement to a lump sum is not reached under  paragraph  10.01.C.1,
    on the basis of the Cost of the Work  (determined  as provided in  paragraph
    10.02) plus a  DESIGN/BUILDER's  Fee for overhead and profit  (determined as
    provided in paragraph 10.02.C).

10.02    Cost of the Work

     A.  Costs  Included:  The term Cost of the Work  means the sum of all costs
necessarily  incurred and paid by  DESIGN/BUILDER  in the proper  performance of
work authorized only by a Change Order or Written  Amendment  (together  "Change
Order  Work").  Except as otherwise  may be agreed to in writing by OWNER,  such
costs shall be in amounts no higher than those prevailing in the locality of the
Project, shall include only the following items and shall not include any of the
costs itemized in paragraph 10.02.B:

          loading, unloading, installation, dismantling and removal thereof--all
          in accordance with the terms of said rental agreements.  The rental of
          any such  equipment,  machinery  or  parts  shall  cease  when the use
          thereof is no longer necessary for Change Order Work.

          d. Sales, consumer, use or similar taxes related to Change Order Work,
          paid by  DESIGN/BUILDER or required to be reimbursed by DESIGN/BUILDER

    of the Work and not  specifically  included in the then current  schedule of
    job  classifications  referred to in paragraph 10.02.A.1 -- all of which are
    to be considered administrative costs covered by the DESIGN/BUILDER's fee.

    2.  Expenses of  DESIGN/BUILDER's  principal  and branch  offices other than
    DESIGN/BUILDER's office at the Site.

    defective  Work,  disposal of materials or  equipment  wrongly  supplied and
    making good any damage to property.


                                      -53-

         Orders priced by paragraph  10.01.C.2  (whether  additive or deductive)
         shall be *%) of the Cost of the  Change  Order  Work for  subcontracts,
         materials and equipment.

*OMITTED  PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL  TREATMENT WHICH HAS BEEN FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.


         2. When both additions and credits are involved in any one change,  the
         adjustment  in  DESIGN/BUILDER's  fee shall be computed on the basis of
         the net change in accordance with paragraph 10.02.C.1 above.

    D. Documentation: Whenever the cost of any Work is to be determined pursuant
to paragraphs  10.02.A and 10.02.B,  DESIGN/BUILDER  will establish and maintain
records thereof in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  practices and
submit in a form  acceptable to OWNER an itemized cost  breakdown  together with
supporting data.

ARTICLE 11--CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIMES

11.01    General

     A. The  Contract  Times may only be changed by a Change  Order or a Written
Amendment.  Any claim for an adjustment of the Contract  Times shall be based on
written notice pursuant to paragraph 9.02.

     B. All Contract Times are of the essence of the Agreement.

11.02    Time Extensions

     A. Where  DESIGN/BUILDER  is prevented from completing any part of the Work
within the Contract Times due to delay beyond the control of DESIGN/BUILDER, the
Contract  Times will be extended in an amount equal to the time lost due to such
delay if a claim is made  therefor as  provided in Article 9. Delays  beyond the
control of DESIGN/BUILDER  shall include, but not be limited to, acts or neglect
by OWNER,  governmental  agencies,  acts or neglect  of utility  owners or other
contractors  performing  other  construction  work as contemplated by Article 7,
fires,  floods,  epidemics,  abnormal weather conditions,  acts of God, strikes,
lockouts or other  circumstances  beyond the control of DESIGN/BUILDER that give
rise to a shortage of labor, materials, equipment,  transportation or utilities.
Delays  attributable  to and within the control of a  Subcontractor  or Supplier
shall be deemed to be delays within the control of DESIGN/BUILDER.


                                      -54-

     B. Nothing in this paragraph 11.02 bars a change in Contract Price pursuant
to Article 10 to compensate for the direct costs incurred by DESIGN/BUILDER  due
to delay,  interference,  or  disruption  directly  attributable  to  actions or
inactions of OWNER.  However,  OWNER shall not be liable to  DESIGN/BUILDER  for
costs or damages arising out of or resulting from (i) delays caused by or within
the control of DESIGN/BUILDER, or (ii) delays beyond the control of both parties
including  but  not  limited  to  fires,  floods,  epidemics,  abnormal  weather
conditions,  acts of God or acts or neglect by  governmental  agencies,  utility
owners, or other contractors performing other work as contemplated by Article 7.

ARTICLE  12--TESTS  AND  INSPECTIONS;   CORRECTION,  REMOVAL  OR  ACCEPTANCE  OF
DEFECTIVE CONSTRUCTION

12.01    Notice of Defects

     A. Each party shall give the other prompt  written  notice of all defective
Construction   of  which  such  party  has  actual   knowledge.   All  defective
Construction may be rejected,  corrected or accepted as provided in this Article
12.

12.02    Access to Construction

    A. Upon reasonable notice to DESIGN/BUILDER,  OWNER,  other  representatives
and  personnel  of OWNER,  independent  testing  laboratories  and  governmental
agencies with  jurisdictional  interests will have access to the Construction at
the Site at  reasonable  times for their  observation,  inspecting  and testing.
DESIGN/BUILDER shall provide them proper and safe conditions for such access and
advise them of DESIGN/BUILDER's Site safety procedures and programs so that they
may comply therewith as applicable.

12.03   Tests and Inspections

    A. If the  Contract  Documents  or Laws or  Regulations  of any public  body
having  jurisdiction  require any part of the  Construction  specifically  to be
inspected,  tested or approved,  DESIGN/BUILDER shall assume full responsibility
for arranging and obtaining such inspections,  tests or approvals, pay all costs
in  connection  therewith,  and  furnish  OWNER  the  required  certificates  of
inspection or approval.  DESIGN/BUILDER  shall also be responsible for arranging
and obtaining and shall pay all costs in connection with any inspections,  tests
or  approvals  required for OWNER's  acceptance  of materials or equipment to be
incorporated  in the  Construction  or of materials,  mix designs,  or equipment
submitted  for  approval  prior  to   DESIGN/BUILDER's   purchase   thereof  for
incorporation  in  the   Construction.   Nothing  in  this  paragraph  shall  be
interpreted or construed as obligating  DESIGN/BUILDER to obtain, furnish or pay
the costs of any permit, inspection, test or approval required by the applicable
State or the United States Environmental  Protection Agency for the construction
or operation of the Project  (including,  without  limitation,  any  atmospheric
emissions  compliance  reports),  all of which  shall be the  responsibility  of
OWNER.

    B. DESIGN/BUILDER shall give OWNER reasonable notice of the planned schedule
for all  required  inspections,  tests or  approvals  if requested in writing by
OWNER.

    C. If any Construction (or the construction work of others) that is required
to be inspected, tested or approved is covered by DESIGN/BUILDER without written
concurrence  of  OWNER,  it must,  if  requested  by  OWNER,  be  uncovered  for
observation at  DESIGN/BUILDER's  expense unless


                                      -55-

DESIGN/BUILDER  has given OWNER timely notice of  DESIGN/BUILDER's  intention to
cover the same and OWNER has not acted with reasonable promptness in response to
such notice.

12.04   Uncovering Construction

    A. If any  Construction is covered contrary to the written request of OWNER,
it must,  if  requested  by OWNER,  be  uncovered  for OWNER's  observation  and
recovered at DESIGN/BUILDER's expense.

    B. If OWNER considers it necessary or advisable that covered Construction be
observed by OWNER or inspected or tested by others,  DESIGN/BUILDER,  at OWNER's
request,  shall uncover,  expose or otherwise  make  available for  observation,
inspection or testing as OWNER may require,  that portion of the Construction in
question, furnishing all necessary labor, material and equipment. If it is found
that such Construction is defective,  DESIGN/BUILDER  shall pay all costs caused
by or resulting  from such  uncovering,  exposure,  observation,  inspection and
testing  (including  but not  limited  to all  reasonable  fees and  charges  of
engineers and other professionals) and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate
decrease in the  Contract  Price,  and, if the parties are unable to agree as to
the amount  thereof,  may make a claim  therefor  as  provided  in Article 9. If
however, such Construction is not found to be defective, DESIGN/BUILDER shall be
allowed  an  increase  in the  Contract  Price  directly  attributable  to  such
uncovering, exposure, observation,  inspection, testing, replacement and rework;
and,  if the  parties  are unable to agree as to the  amount or extent  thereof,
DESIGN/BUILDER may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 9.

12.05 OWNER May Stop the Construction

    A. If the  Construction  is  defective,  or  DESIGN/BUILDER  fails to supply
sufficient  skilled  workers or suitable  materials  or  equipment,  or fails to
furnish  or  perform  the   Construction  in  such  a  way  that  the  completed
Construction   will  conform  to  the  Contract   Documents,   OWNER  may  order
DESIGN/BUILDER to stop Construction or any portion thereof,  until the cause for
such  order  has  been  eliminated;   however,  this  right  of  OWNER  to  stop
Construction  will  not give  rise to any duty on the part of OWNER to  exercise
this right for the benefit of DESIGN/BUILDER or any other party.

12.06 Correction or Removal of Defective Construction

    A. Prior to acceptance and final payment under paragraph  13.09,  OWNER will
have  authority to disapprove  or reject  defective  Construction  and will have
authority to require special  inspection or testing of the Construction  whether
or not the  Construction is fabricated,  installed or completed.  DESIGN/BUILDER
shall  promptly,  either  correct  all  defective  Construction,  whether or not
fabricated, installed or completed, or, if the Construction has been rejected by
OWNER,  remove it from the Site and replace it with non-defective  Construction.
DESIGN/BUILDER shall bear all costs of such correction or removal (including but
not limited to reasonable fees and charges of engineers,  architects,  attorneys
and other  professionals,  all court or arbitration or other dispute  resolution
costs,  and all costs of repair or replacement of work of others) made necessary
thereby.  Nothing  in this  paragraph  shall  be  interpreted  or  construed  as
requiring DESIGN/BUILDER to correct or remove and replace defective Construction
accepted by OWNER pursuant to paragraph 12.08 below.

12.07   Correction Period

    A. If within one (1) year after the date of  Substantial  Completion or such
longer  period of time as may be  prescribed  by Laws or  Regulations  or by the
terms of any applicable  special guarantee required by


                                      -56-

the Contract Documents or by any specific  provision of the Contract  Documents,
any  Construction  is  found to be  defective,  DESIGN/BUILDER  shall  promptly,
without cost to OWNER and in accordance with OWNER's written  instructions,  (i)
correct  such  i  Construction,  or, if it has been  rejected  by OWNER,
remove it from the Site and replace it with  Construction that is not defective,
and (ii)  satisfactorily  correct  or remove  and  replace  any  damage to other
Construction or the work of others resulting  therefrom.  If DESIGN/BUILDER does
not  promptly  comply with the terms of such  instructions,  or in an  emergency
where  delay  would  cause  serious  risk of loss or damage,  OWNER may have the
defective  Construction  corrected  or the  rejected  Construction  removed  and
replaced, and all costs and damages caused by or resulting from such removal and
replacement  (including  but not limited to all  reasonable  fees and charges of
engineers,   architects,   attorneys  and  other  professionals,  all  court  or
arbitration  or other  dispute  resolution  costs,  and all  costs of  repair or
replacement  of work of others)  will be paid by  DESIGN/BUILDER  subject to the
provisions  of  paragraph  16.06  below.  Nothing  in this  paragraph  shall  be
interpreted  or construed as requiring  DESIGN/BUILDER  to correct or remove and
replace  defective  Construction  accepted by OWNER pursuant to paragraph  12.08
below. Defective equipment or parts thereof shall be covered by the warranty set
forth in Exhibit I  attached  hereto and not the  provisions  of this  paragraph
12.07.

    B. Where defective  Construction (and damage to other Construction resulting
therefrom) has been corrected,  removed or replaced under this paragraph  12.07,
the  correction  period  hereunder  with  respect to such  Construction  will be
extended  for an  additional  period of one (1) year  after such  correction  or
removal and replacement has been satisfactorily completed.

12.08   Acceptance of Defective Construction

    A. If,  instead of  requiring  correction  or  removal  and  replacement  of
defective Construction, OWNER prefers to accept it, OWNER may do so. If any such
acceptance  occurs  prior  to  final  payment,  a Change  Order  will be  issued
incorporating the necessary  revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to
the Construction;  and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the
Contract  Price,  and,  if the  parties  are  unable  to agree as to the  amount
thereof,  OWNER may make a claim  therefor as provided in Article 15, subject to
the provisions of paragraph  16.06 below.  If the acceptance  occurs after final
payment,  an appropriate amount will be paid by DESIGN/BUILDER to OWNER, and, if
the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim
therefor as provided in Article 15, subject to the provisions of paragraph 16.06
below.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any defective Construction known by OWNER
and not disclosed to  DESIGN/BUILDER at the time of acceptance and final payment
under paragraph 13.09 shall be deemed to be accepted by OWNER and DESIGN/BUILDER
shall have no obligation to correct,  or remove and replace such defect, or make
any payment to OWNER with respect thereto.

12.09    Identification of Punch List Items

    A. OWNER shall identify in writing to DESIGN/BUILDER,  on or before the date
that is forty-five  (45) days after  Substantial  Completion,  any and all Punch
List Items to be completed or corrected by DESIGN/BUILDER.  DESIGN/BUILDER shall
not be required to complete or correct any Punch List Items  identified by OWNER
after such forty-five (45) day period.


                                      -57-

ARTICLE 13--PAYMENTS TO DESIGN/BUILDER AND COMPLETION

13.01   Schedule of Values

    A. The Schedule of Values  established  as provided in  paragraph  2.03 will
serve as the basis for progress payments and the form of Application for Payment
will be substantially similar to Exhibit J.

13.02   Application for Progress Payment

     A. By the tenth day of each  month  during  the Work  DESIGN/BUILDER  shall
submit to OWNER for review and approval an  Application  for Payment  filled out
and signed by  DESIGN/BUILDER  covering the Work completed as of the date of the
Application and accompanied by such supporting  documentation  as is required by
the Contract  Documents.  If payment is requested on the basis of materials  and
equipment not  incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the
Site or at another  location  agreed to in writing,  the Application for Payment
shall also be  accompanied  by a bill of sale,  invoice  or other  documentation
warranting that OWNER has received the materials and equipment free and clear of
all  Liens  and  evidence  that the  materials  and  equipment  are  covered  by
appropriate  property  insurance  and  other  arrangements  to  protect  OWNER's
interest therein. The amount of retainage with respect to progress payments will
be as stipulated in the Agreement.

    B. With each  Application  for Payment,  DESIGNBUILDER  shall submit interim
lien waivers for all  subcontractors  and first tier  suppliers  with a contract
value in excess of  $5,000.00.  The  interim  lien  waivers  shall be  effective
through the immediately preceding payment.  OWNER may withhold from any progress
payment the amount applicable to any lien waivers not received for any preceding
Application for Payment for which payment was made by OWNER.

13.03    DESIGN/BUILDER's Warranty of Title

    A.  DESIGN/BUILDER  warrants and guarantees  that title to all  construction
materials  and  equipment  covered  by  any  Application  for  Payment,  whether
incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to OWNER no later than the time of
payment free and clear of all Liens.  This  paragraph  13.03.A does not apply to
any documents covered by paragraph 3.04.

13.04 Progress Payments

    A. Progress payments shall be made by the OWNER to DESIGN/BUILDER  according
    to the following procedure:

    1. OWNER  will,  within ten (10) days of  receipt  of each  Application  for
    Payment,  either  indicate in writing its acceptance of the  Application and
    state that the  Application  is being  processed for payment,  or return the
    Application to DESIGN/BUILDER indicating in writing its reasons for refusing
    to accept the Application and the exact amount(s) in dispute. All undisputed
    amounts will become due and be paid by OWNER to DESIGN/BUILDER not more than
    ten (10) days after OWNER's acceptance or rejection of such Application,  as
    the case may be.


                                      -58-

     2. If OWNER  should fail to pay  DESIGN/BUILDER  at the time the payment of
    any amount  becomes due, then  DESIGN/BUILDER  may, at any time  thereafter,
    upon serving  written notice that  DESIGN/BUILDER  will stop the Work within
    seven (7) days after  receipt  of the notice by OWNER,  and after such seven
    (7) day  period,  stop the Work until  payment of the amount  owing has been
    received, including interest thereon.

     3. Payments due but unpaid shall bear interest at the rate specified in the
    Agreement.  If OWNER pays to DESIGN/BUILDER  any disputed amount pursuant to
    paragraph  13.04.A.2 and it is  determined  pursuant to Article 15 that such
    amount was not due and payable, then DESIGN/BUILDER shall refund such amount
    to OWNER with interest thereon at the rate specified in the Agreement.

     4. No Progress  Payment nor any partial or entire use or  occupancy  of the
    Project  by the OWNER  shall  constitute  an  acceptance  of any Work not in
    accordance with the Contract Documents.

    B.  OWNER may refuse to make the whole or any part of any such  payment  or,
because  of  subsequently  discovered  evidence  or the  results  of  subsequent
inspections  or tests,  nullify  any  previous  payment,  to the extent  that is
reasonably necessary to protect OWNER from loss because:

    1. The Work is  defective,  or completed  Work has been  damaged,  requiring
    correction or replacement;

    2. The Contract Price has been reduced by Written Amendment or Change Order;

    3. OWNER has been  required to correct  defective  Work or complete  Work in
    accordance with paragraph 12.07.A;

    4.  OWNER  has  actual  knowledge  of the  occurrence  of any of the  events
    enumerated in paragraphs 14.02.A.1 through A.3 inclusive;

    5.  Claims  have been made  against  OWNER on  account  of  DESIGN/BUILDER's
    performance or furnishing of the Work;

    6. The provisions of paragraph 13.02.B are applicable; or

    7.  Liens  have  been  filed in  connection  with  the  Work,  except  where
    DESIGN/BUILDER has delivered a specific Bond satisfactory to OWNER to secure
    the satisfaction and discharge of such Liens.

13.05   Substantial Completion

    A. When DESIGN/BUILDER considers the Construction ready for its intended use
DESIGN/BUILDER   shall  notify  OWNER  in  writing  that  the   Construction  is
substantially  complete (except for items specifically  listed by DESIGN/BUILDER
as  incomplete).  Within a reasonable  time  thereafter,  OWNER will prepare and
deliver to DESIGN/BUILDER a certificate of Substantial  Completion.  There shall
be attached to the  certificate  a list of Punch List Items to be  completed  or
corrected  before final payment.  At the time of delivery of the  certificate of
Substantial  Completion  OWNER  will  deliver  to  DESIGN/BUILDER  (i) a written
determination as to division of  responsibilities  pending final payment between
OWNER  and  DESIGN/BUILDER   with  respect  to  security,   operation,


                                      -59-

safety, maintenance,  heat, utilities,  insurance and warranties and guarantees,
and (ii) the payment required by section 4.01.B.2. of the Agreement.

    B. OWNER will have the right to exclude  DESIGN/BUILDER  from the Site after
the  date  of  Substantial  Completion,  but  OWNER  will  allow  DESIGN/BUILDER
reasonable  access to complete or correct  items on the list of Punch List Items
to be completed and the seven-day performance test described in Exhibit A.

13.06    Final Inspection

    A. Upon written notice from  DESIGN/BUILDER  that the entire Construction or
an agreed portion thereof is complete,  OWNER will make a final  inspection with
DESIGN/BUILDER  and will notify  DESIGN/BUILDER in writing of all particulars in
which this inspection  reveals that the Construction is incomplete or defective.
DESIGN/BUILDER shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to complete
such Construction or remedy such deficiencies.

 13.07   Final Application for Payment

    A.  After   DESIGN/BUILDER   has  completed  all  such  corrections  to  the
satisfaction  of OWNER and delivered in accordance  with the Contract  Documents
all interim  maintenance and operating  instructions and as-built drawings (with
final  copies of each  document to be  delivered  within  ninety (90) days after
final  payment),  schedules,  guarantees,  certificates  or  other  evidence  of
insurance  required by paragraph 5.02.B,  certificates of inspection,  marked-up
record   documents  (as  provided  in  paragraph  6.11)  and  other   documents,
DESIGN/BUILDER  may make  application for final payment  following the procedure
for progress  payments.  The final  Application for Payment shall be accompanied
(unless  previously  delivered)  by:  (i) all  documentation  called  for in the
Contract  Documents,  including  but not limited to the  evidence  of  insurance
required by  subparagraph  5.02.B.7,  and (ii)  complete  and legally  effective
releases or waivers of all Liens arising out of or filed in connection  with the
Work.  In lieu of such  releases  or waivers of Liens and as  approved by OWNER,
DESIGN/BUILDER  may furnish  receipts or  releases in full and an  affidavit  of
DESIGN/BUILDER that: (i) the releases and receipts include all labor,  services,
material and equipment  for which a Lien could be filed,  and (ii) all payrolls,
material and equipment bills and other indebtedness  connected with the Work for
which  OWNER  or the Site  might in any way be  responsible  have  been  paid or
otherwise  satisfied.  If any  Subcontractor or Supplier fails to furnish such a
release  or  receipt  in  full,  DESIGN/BUILDER  may  furnish  a Bond  or  other
collateral satisfactory to OWNER to indemnify OWNER against any Lien.

 13.08   Final Payment and Acceptance

    A.  If  OWNER  is   satisfied   that  the  Work  has  been   completed   and
DESIGN/BUILDER's  other  obligations  under  the  Contract  Documents  have been
fulfilled,  OWNER  will,  within  ten  (10)  days  after  receipt  of the  final
Application for Payment,  give written notice to DESIGN/BUILDER that the Work is
acceptable.  Otherwise,  OWNER will return the  Application  to  DESIGN/BUILDER,
indicating  in writing the reasons for  refusing to process  final  payment,  in
which case DESIGN/BUILDER shall make the necessary  corrections and resubmit the
Application.  Thirty (30) days after the presentation to OWNER of the acceptable
Application and  accompanying  documentation,  in appropriate form and substance
and with OWNER's notice of acceptability,  the remaining  Contract Price less $*
will become due and will be paid by OWNER to DESIGN/BUILDER.  The $* will become
due  upon  receipt  by OWNER  of a  satisfactory  verbal  or  written  emissions
compliance   report  from  a  third  party   mutually   selected  by  OWNER  and


                                      -60-

DESIGN/BUILDER confirming regulatory compliance of the air emissions performance
tests  prescribed  by the  applicable  Department  of  Environmental  Quality or
similar agency for the State of Kansas.

SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.


    B. If, through no fault of  DESIGN/BUILDER,  final completion of the Work is
significantly  delayed,  OWNER  shall,  upon receipt of  DESIGN/BUILDER's  final
Application for Payment, and without terminating the Agreement,  make payment of
the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted.  Such
payment shall be made under the terms and  conditions  governing  final payment,
except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims.

13.09   Waiver of Claims

    A. The making and acceptance of final payment will constitute:

    1. A waiver of all claims by OWNER  against  DESIGN/BUILDER,  except  claims
    arising from unsettled Liens,  from defective  Construction  appearing after
    final inspection  pursuant to paragraph  13.06,  from failure to comply with
    the  Contract  Documents  or the terms of any special  guarantees  specified
    therein, or from DESIGN/BUILDER's  continuing obligations under the Contract
    Documents; and

    2. a waiver of all claims by  DESIGN/BUILDER  against OWNER other than those
    previously made in writing and still unsettled.

ARTICLE 14--SUSPENSION OF WORK AND TERMINATION

14.01   Owner May Suspend Work

    A. At any time and without cause,  OWNER may suspend the Work or any portion
thereof  for a period of not more than  ninety (90) days by notice in writing to
DESIGN/BUILDER  which  will  fix  the  date  on  which  Work  will  be  resumed.
DESIGN/BUILDER shall resume the Work on the date so fixed. DESIGN/BUILDER may be
allowed an  adjustment  in the  Contract  Price or an  extension of the Contract
Times, or both,  directly  attributable to any such suspension if DESIGN/BUILDER
makes a claim therefor as provided in Article 9.

14.02   OWNER May Terminate for Cause

     A. The  occurrence  of any one or more of the  following  events  justifies
termination for cause:

    1. DESIGN/BUILDER  persistently fails to perform the Work in accordance with
    the Contract  Documents  (including,  but not limited to,  failure to supply
    sufficient  skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment or failure to
    adhere  to the  progress  schedule  established  under  paragraph  2.03.A as
    revised from time to time.)

    2. DESIGN/BUILDER  intentionally or willfully disregards Laws or Regulations
    of any public body having jurisdiction.


                                      -61-

    3.  DESIGN/BUILDER  otherwise  breaches or violates in any  material way any
    provisions of the Contract Documents.

    4.  DESIGN/BUILDER  becomes  financially  insolvent  or  files  a  voluntary
    petition of bankruptcy,  or an  involuntary  petition of bankruptcy is filed
    that is not  dismissed  within  ninety  (180)  days  after  the date of such
    filing.

     B. OWNER may, after giving DESIGN/BUILDER  written notice of the occurrence
of an event in paragraph  14.02.A and twenty (20) days  therefrom to remedy such
event (or,  if such event is not  capable of being  remedied  within such twenty
(20) days,  such number of days as is  reasonably  needed to remedy such event),
and to the extent permitted by Laws and  Regulations,  terminate the services of
DESIGN/BUILDER,  exclude DESIGN/BUILDER from the Site and take possession of the
Work  incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment  stored at the Site or
elsewhere for which OWNER has paid  DESIGN/BUILDER  and finish the Work as OWNER
may deem expedient. In such case DESIGN/BUILDER shall not be entitled to receive
any further payment other than  reimbursement for  DESIGN/BUILDER's  payments to
Subcontractors and Suppliers for labor, services,  equipment and materials prior
to the date of termination, but only to the extent not previously paid by OWNER.
If the  unpaid  balance of the  Contract  Price  exceeds  all  reasonable  costs
incurred by OWNER  resulting from completing the Work (including but not limited
to all reasonable fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other
professionals  and all court or arbitration or other dispute  resolution  costs)
such excess will be paid to DESIGN/BUILDER.  If all reasonable costs incurred by
OWNER to complete the Work (including but not limited to all reasonable fees and
charges of  engineers,  architects,  attorneys and other  professionals  and all
court or  arbitration  or other  dispute  resolution  costs)  exceed  the unpaid
balance of the Contract Price,  DESIGN/BUILDER shall pay the difference to OWNER
subject to the provisions of paragraph  16.06 below.  When exercising any rights
or remedies under this paragraph  OWNER shall be required to obtain a reasonable
price for the Work performed.

     C. Where  DESIGN/BUILDER's  services have been so terminated by OWNER,  the
termination   will  not  affect  any  rights  or  remedies   of  OWNER   against
DESIGN/BUILDER  then  existing or which may  thereafter  accrue.  Any payment to
DESIGN/BUILDER by OWNER will not release DESIGN/BUILDER from liability.

     D. Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted or construed as requiring
DESIGN/BUILDER  to  perform  any  additional  services  after  such  termination
including,  without limitation, the creation of any drawings,  specifications or
any other document necessary to complete the Work.

14.03   DESIGN/BUILDER May Stop Work or Terminate

    A. If, through no act or fault of DESIGN/BUILDER,  the Work is suspended for
a period  of more than  ninety  (90) days by OWNER or under an order of court or
other public  authority,  or OWNER fails to pay  DESIGN/BUILDER  any  undisputed
amount due under the Contract  Documents  within 30 days after  Application  for
Payment is  submitted to OWNER,  then  DESIGN/BUILDER  may,  upon seven (7) days
written notice to OWNER,  and provided OWNER does not remedy such  suspension or
failure within that time, terminate the Agreement and recover from OWNER payment
of all amounts  due and owing from OWNER to  DESIGN/BUILDER  under the  Contract
Documents for Work performed through the date of such termination (including any
profit thereon) and all cost and expenses incurred by DESIGN/BUILDER due to such
termination  (including,  without  limitation,  any  costs  incurred  to  cancel
contracts  with  Subcontractors  and  the  reasonable  demobilization  costs  of
DESIGN/BUILDER).  In lieu of terminating


                                      -62-

the Agreement and without prejudice to any other right or remedy, DESIGN/BUILDER
may upon seven (7) days written  notice to OWNER stop the Work until  payment is
made  of  all  amounts  due  DESIGN/BUILDER,  including  interest  thereon.  The
provisions of this paragraph 14.03.A are not intended to preclude DESIGN/BUILDER
from making claim under Article 9 for an increase in Contract  Price or Contract
Times or otherwise  for expenses or damage  attributable  to such  suspension or
failure.

ARTICLE 15--DISPUTE RESOLUTION

15.01  Dispute Resolution Agreement

     A. OWNER and  DESIGN/BUILDER  agree that they will first submit any and all
unsettled claims, counterclaims,  disputes and other matters in question between
them arising out of or relating to the Contract  Documents or the breach thereof
("disputes"),  to mediation by a mutually agreeable,  impartial mediator,  or if
the parties cannot so agree, a mediator  designated by the American  Arbitration
Association ("AAA") pursuant to its Construction Industry Mediation Rules, prior
to either of them initiating against the other a demand for arbitration pursuant
to paragraph  15.01.B through  15.01.E,  unless delay in initiating  arbitration
would irrevocably  prejudice one of the parties. Any time limits within which to
file a demand  for  arbitration  shall be  suspended  with  respect to a dispute
submitted to mediation within those same applicable time limits and shall remain
suspended until 10 days after the termination of the mediation.  The mediator of
any dispute  submitted  to  mediation  under this  Agreement  shall not serve as
arbitrator of such dispute unless otherwise agreed.

    B. All claims,  disputes  and other  matters in question  between  OWNER and
DESIGN/BUILDER  arising  out of or  relating to the  Contract  Documents  or the
breach  thereof  (except  for  claims  which  have been  waived by the making or
acceptance of final  payment as provided by paragraph  13.09) will be decided by
binding  arbitration in accordance with the  Construction  Industry  Arbitration
Rules of the AAA then in effect,  subject to the  limitations  of this paragraph
15.01. The arbitrator  shall have the discretion to award reasonable  attorneys'
fees and costs to the prevailing  party.  This agreement so to arbitrate and any
other agreement or consent to arbitrate  entered into in accordance  herewith as
provided in this  paragraph  15.01 will be  specifically  enforceable  under the
prevailing law of any court having jurisdiction.

     C. Notice of the demand for  arbitration  will be filed in writing with the
other party to the Agreement and with the  designated  arbitration  entity.  The
demand for  arbitration  will be made within a reasonable  time after the claim,
dispute or other matter in question  has arisen,  and in no event shall any such
demand 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 statute of limitations.

     D. Except as provided in paragraph  15.01.E below,  no arbitration  arising
out of or relating to the Contract  Documents  shall  include by  consolidation,
joinder  or in any other  manner  any other  individual  or` entity who is not a
party to this contract unless:

    1. the inclusion of such other individual or entity is necessary if complete
    relief  is to be  afforded  among  those  who  are  already  parties  to the
    arbitration, and

    2. such other individual or entity is  substantially  involved in a question
    of law or fact  which is  common  to those who are  already  parties  to the
    arbitration and which will arise in such proceedings, and


                                      -63-

    3. the  written  consent  of the other  individual  or  entity  sought to be
    included  and of  OWNER  and  DESIGN/BUILDER  has  been  obtained  for  such
    inclusion,  which consent shall make specific  reference to this  paragraph;
    but no such consent shall  constitute  consent to arbitration of any dispute
    not specifically  described in such consent or to arbitration with any party
    not specifically identified in such consent.

     E.  Notwithstanding  paragraph 15.01.D, if a claim, dispute or other matter
in  question   between  OWNER  and   DESIGN/BUILDER   involves  the  Work  of  a
Subcontractor, Supplier or Engineer either OWNER or DESIGN/BUILDER may join such
entity as a party to the arbitration between OWNER and DESIGN/BUILDER hereunder.
DESIGN/BUILDER shall include in all subcontracts  required by paragraph 6.05.D a
specific  provision  whereby the  Subcontractor  consents to being joined in any
arbitration  between  OWNER  and  DESIGN/BUILDER  involving  the  Work  of  such
Subcontractor.  Nothing in this  paragraph  15.01.E or in the  provision of such
subcontract  consenting  to joinder  shall  create any claim,  right or cause of
action in favor of Subcontractor, Supplier or Engineer against OWNER.

     F.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the provisions of this Article 15 shall
not apply to any claim by  DESIGN/BUILDER  of any breach or threatened breach of
any provision of the License Agreement attached as Exhibit F.

ARTICLE 16--MISCELLANEOUS

16.01    Giving Notice

    A. Whenever any provision of the Contract  Documents  requires the giving of
written notice, it will be deemed to have been validly given:

     1. If delivered in person to the  individual  or to a member of the firm or
    to an officer of the corporation for whom it is intended;

     2. If  delivered  at or sent  by  registered  or  certified  mail,  postage
    prepaid, to the last business address known to the giver of the notice; or

    3. If  transmitted  by  facsimile,  the  time at which a  machine  generated
    confirmation  states the  notice was  received  at the  facsimile  telephone
    number of the intended recipient last known by the sender.

16.02   Computation of Times

    A. When any period of time is referred to in the Contract Documents by days,
it will be  computed  to  exclude  the  first and  include  the last day of such
period. If the last day of any such period falls on a Saturday or Sunday or on a
day made a legal  holiday by the law of the  applicable  jurisdiction,  such day
will be omitted from the computation.

    B. A calendar day of  twenty-four  hours  measured from midnight to the next
midnight will constitute a day.

16.03   Notice of Claim


                                      -64-

    A.  Should  OWNER or  DESIGN/BUILDER  suffer  injury  or damage to person or
property  because of any error,  omission or act of the other party or of any of
the other  party's  employees or agents or others for whose acts the other party
is legally  liable,  claim will be made in writing to the other  party  within a
reasonable time of the first observance of such injury or damage. The provisions
of this paragraph 16.03.A shall not be construed as a substitute for or a waiver
of the provisions of any applicable statute of limitations or repose.

16.04   Cumulative Remedies

    A. Except as provided in paragraph 16.06, the duties and obligations imposed
by these General Conditions and the rights and remedies  available  hereunder to
the parties hereto,  and, in particular but without  limitation,  any general or
specific warranties,  guarantees and indemnities imposed upon a party and all of
the rights and remedies available to the other party thereunder, are in addition
to, and are not to be construed  in any way as a  limitation  of, any rights and
remedies  available  to any or  all of  them  which  are  otherwise  imposed  or
available by Laws or Regulations,  by special  warranty or guarantee or by other
provisions of the Contract Documents,  and the provisions of this paragraph will
be as  effective  as if  repeated  specifically  in the  Contract  Documents  in
connection with each particular duty, obligation, right and remedy to which they
apply.

16.05    Survival of Obligations

    A. All representations, indemnifications, warranties and guarantees made in,
required by or given in accordance with the Contract  Documents,  as well as all
continuing  obligations indicated in the Contract Documents,  will survive final
payment,  completion and acceptance of the Work and termination or completion of
the Agreement.

16.06   Limitation  on  OWNER's   Recovery  of  Damages  and  Mutual  Waiver  of
Consequential Damages

     A.  Notwithstanding  any other provision of the Contract  Documents,  OWNER
agrees that the aggregate amount OWNER (and anyone claiming by or through OWNER)
may recover  collectively from DESIGN/BUILDER and its employee's and agents, for
the  Project as a whole  under the  Contract  Documents  (including  the License
Agreement  attached as Exhibit F), including,  without  limitation  damages from
DESIGN/BUILDER for OWNER's correction of defective  Construction under paragraph
12.07.A,  and  acceptance  of  defective  Construction  under  paragraph  12.08,
correction  of any  defective  equipment or part thereof  under Exhibit I and/or
termination for cause under paragraph 14.02, shall be limited to *.
