§ 2.3.3 If the employment of the Architect terminates, the Owner shall employ a successor to whom the Contractor has
<br />no reasonable objection and whose status under the Contract Documents shall be that of the Architect.
<br />§ 2.3.4 The Owner shall furnish surveys describing physical characteristics, legal limitations and utility locations for
<br />the site of the Project, and a legal description of the site. The Contractor shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy of
<br />information furnished by the Owner but shall exercise proper precautions relating to the safe performance of the
<br />Work.
<br />§ 2.3.5 The Owner shall furnish information or services required of the Owner by the Contract Documents with
<br />reasonable promptness. The Owner shall also furnish any other information or services under the Owner's control and
<br />relevant to the Contractor's performance of the Work with reasonable promptness after receiving the Contractor's
<br />written request for such information or services.
<br />§ 2.3.6 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Owner shall furnish to the Contractor one copy of
<br />the Contract Documents for purposes of making reproductions pursuant to Section 1.5.2.
<br />§ 2.4 Owner's Right to Stop the Work
<br />If the Contractor fails to correct Work that is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents as
<br />required by Section 12.2 or repeatedly fails to carry out Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Owner
<br />may issue a written order to the Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has
<br />been eliminated; however, the right of the Owner to stop the Work shall not give rise to a duty on the part of the Owner
<br />to exercise this right for the benefit of the Contractor or any other person or entity, except to the extent required by
<br />Section 6.1.3.
<br />§ 2.5 Owner's Right to Carry Out the Work
<br />If the Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents and fails
<br />within a ten-day period after receipt of notice from the Owner to commence and continue correction of such default or
<br />neglect with diligence and promptness, the Owner may, without prejudice to other remedies the Owner may have,
<br />correct such default or neglect. Such action by the Owner and amounts charged to the Contractor are both subject to
<br />prior approval of the Architect and the Architect may, pursuant to Section 9.5.1, withhold or nullify a Certificate for
<br />Payment in whole or in part, to the extent reasonably necessary to reimburse the Owner for the reasonable cost of
<br />correcting such deficiencies, including Owner's expenses and compensation for the Architect's additional services
<br />made necessary by such default, neglect, or failure. If current and future payments are not sufficient to cover such
<br />amounts, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner. If the Contractor disagrees with the actions of the
<br />Owner or the Architect, or the amounts claimed as costs to the Owner, the Contractor may file a Claim pursuant to
<br />Article 15.
