<br />§2.2.1 Prior to commencement of the Work and upon written request by the Contractor, the Owner shall furnish to the
<br />Contractor reasonable evidence that the Owner has made financial arrangements to fulfill the Owner’s obligations under the
<br />Contract. The Contractor shall have no obligation to commence the Work until the Owner provides such evidence. If

<br />§2.2.2 Following commencement of the Work and upon written request by the Contractor, the Owner shall furnish to the
<br />Contractor reasonable evidence that the Owner has made financial arrangements to fulfill the Owner’s obligations under the
<br />Contract only if (1) the Owner fails to make payments to the Contractor as the Contract Documents require; (2) the Contractor
<br />identifies in writing a reasonable concern regarding the Owner’s ability to make payment when due; or (3)a change in the
<br />Work materially changesthe Contract Sum. If the Owner fails to provide such evidence, as required, within fourteen days of
<br />the Contractor’s request, the Contractor may immediately stop the Work and, in that event, shall notify the Owner that the

<br />subpoena or other form of compulsory legal process issued by a court or governmental entity, or by court or arbitrator(s)
<br />order. The Contractor may also disclose “confidential” information to its employees, consultants, sureties, Subcontractors and
