damages resulting from the failure of the Design-Build Contractor to achieve Substantial
Completion between August 1 of the calendar year in which the Stadium is scheduled to be
Substantially Completed and January 31 of the following year will he suffered by Stadco and the Tam, and in compensation for such damages, the Stadium Authority, upon Stadco's request, shall assign to Stadco any and all such liquidated damages received by the Stadium Authority from the Design-Build Contractor and any and all rights or claims to receive such liquidated damages from the Design-Build Contractor.
