3.2 Completion of all tasks outlined above (i.e., Subparagraphs a, b, c, and d) constitute Final Completion. 3.3 Liquidated Damages. OWNER and CONTRACTOR recognize that time is of the essence of this Agreement and that OWNER will suffer financial loss if the work is not completed within the times specified in Paragraphs 3.1 and 3.2 above, plus any extensions thereof allowed in accordance with Article 11 of the General Conditions. They also recognize the delays, expense and difficulties involved in proving in a legal proceeding the actual loss suffered by OWNER if the work is not completed on time.

These provisions for liquidated damages shall not prevent the OWNER, in case of the CONTRACTOR's default, from terminating the Contractor's right to proceed as provided in this AGREEMENT. 3.3.2 In addition to the above -stated liquidated damages, the CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for reimbursing OWNER to third party consultants in administering the Project beyond the Substantial Completion date specified in this Agreement, or beyond an approved extension of time granted to CONTRACTOR, whichever date is later.
