in Section 6 of this Agreement and in Exhibit E, IPC shall be entitled to reduce or withhold the amount due

of Contractor's failure to complete the Work in accordance with this Agreement and the Approved Schedule.IPC and
Contractor agree that IPC shall not be precluded from recovering from Contractor, in lieu of Delay Liquidated
Damages,actual damages incurred and proven by IPC(if any)if such damages exceed the aggregate amount of Delay
