<br />conform to the Contract Documents, Owner may order Contractor to stop the Work, or any
<br />portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however, this right of Owner
<br />to stop the Work shall not give rise to any duty on the part of Owner to exercise this right for the
<br />benefit of Contractor, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, any other individual or entity, or any
<br />surety for, or employee or agent of any of them.
<br />13.06 Correction or Removal of Defective Work
<br />A. Promptly after receipt of written notice, Contractor shall correct all defective Work, whether or

<br />architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute
<br />resolution costs) arising out of or relating to such correction or removal (including but not limited
<br />to all costs of repair or replacement of work of others).
<br />B. When correcting defective Work under the terms of this Paragraph 13.06 or Paragraph 13.07,
<br />Contractor shall take no action that would void or otherwise impair Owner's special warranty and
<br />guarantee, if any, on said Work.
<br />13.07 Correction Period

<br />be prescribed by the terms of any applicable special guarantee required by the Contract
<br />Documents) or by any specific provision of the Contract Documents, any Work is found to be
<br />defective, or if the repair of any damages to the land or areas made available for Contractor's use
<br />by Owner or permitted by Laws and Regulations as contemplated in Paragraph 6.1 LA is found to
<br />be defective, Contractor shall promptly, without cost to Owner and in accordance with Owner's
<br />written instructions:
