be subject to Contractor's approval. The total of scheduled values shall equal the Price and shall be divided
in such manner as will facilitate progress payments to Contractor and Subcontractor. Each scheduled item

previous payments to Subcontractor and the amount of current retainage, and shall include evidence
satisfactory to Contractor that Subcontractor has paid all persons supplying labor, materials or services in
connection with the Work.
Subcontractor's progress estimate shall be used in the preparation of Contractor's application for

remedied and for any other breach of this Subcontract by Subcontractor. No payment to Subcontractor
shall be construed to be an acceptance of any defective work.
4. Final Payment. A final payment, consisting of the unpaid balance of the Price, shall be made within
forty-five (45) days after the last of the following to occur: (a) full completion of the Work, including all punch
list work, by Subcontractor; (b) final acceptance of the Work by the Architect and Owner; (c) final payment
by Owner to Contractor under the Contract; (d) the furnishing of satisfactory evidence by Subcontractor to
Contractor that the Subcontractor has paid in full all persons furnishing labor, materials or service in
connection with the Work and that neither Subcontractor nor any person claiming under or through
Subcontractor has filed or has the right to maintain a lien or other claim against the Owner, the Contractor,
Contractor's surety, if any, or the Project premises; or (e) the delivery of all warranties, bonds, as built
drawings and similar items required by the Contract Documents with respect to the Work.

remedied and for any other breach of this Subcontract by Subcontractor. No payment to Subcontractor by
Contractor shall be construed to be an acceptance of any defective Work.
5. Payment of Labor, Supplies and Materials. Subcontractor will receive the payments made by
Contractor and will hold such payments as a trust fund to be applied first to the payment of any persons
furnishing labor materials or services for the Work, and Subcontractor will so apply the payments from
Contractor before using any part thereof for any other purpose. Subcontractor shall, as often as requested
by Contractor, fumish an affidavit showing the names and addresses of all persons who shall have
furnished labor, materials or services for the Work and the amount due or to become due to each such
person. Progress payments may, in the discretion of Contractor, be made in the form of checks payable

6. Time of Completion. Subcontractor shall commence the Work on the date specified in the progress
schedule for the Project as provided by the Contractor (the "Commencement Date") and fully complete the
Work within see Exhibit C: Project Schedule calendar days of the Commencement Date. Completion of
the Work and its several parts within the time allotted or reasonably contemplated under the Contract is of
the essence of this Subcontract. Therefore, Subcontractor agrees: (a) to provide at the Project site
(identified on page 1 hereof) the materials, equipment, laborers and supervision necessary to begin the
Work upon Contractor's order to do so; (b) to perform the Work and all parts thereof promptly, diligently and
in such order and sequence as Contractor may direct to assure the efficient, expeditious and timely
prosecution of the entire Work under the Contract; and (c) to furnish sufficient forces, supervision,
equipment and materials, at such times and for such periods as will result in progress according to the
approved progress schedule of Contractor or any modification thereof. Contractor reserves the right to
modify any such progress schedule with respect to the required sequence or duration of the Work or any
portion thereof, and Contractor makes no representation that Subcontractor will be able to commence,
prosecute or complete the Work in accordance with any progress schedule. Subcontractor shall promptly

approval or comment. The Subcontractor shall furnish all necessary information to Contractor required for
expediting the Work, and if the Work is, or will likely be, delayed by Subcontractor's failure, Subcontractor
shall reimburse Contractor for any expenses required to secure performance.
7. Extension of Time. If for reasons beyond its control Subcontractor shall be materially delayed at
any time in the progress of the Work under such circumstances as would entitle Contractor to an extension
of time under the Contract, Subcontractor shall be entitled to a corresponding extension of time for
completion of the Work hereunder; provided that Subcontractor shall have filed with Contractor written claim
for such extension that complies with the requisites for making a claim under the Contract and in sufficient
time to permit Contractor to file such a claim against Owner for an extension or other relief under the
Contract. If Subcontractor shall be materially delayed by the wrongful act or omission of Contractor, the
time for the completion of the Work shall be extended for a period equal to the reasonably estimated period
of delay as determined by Contractor. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no extension of
time shall be granted unless a written claim therefor shall be presented to Contractor within forty-eight (48)
hours after the commencement of the delaying event or condition. The extension of time herein provided
shall be Subcontractor's sole and exclusive remedy for any delay, and Subcontractor shall have no claim
for damages against Contractor by reason thereof.
8. Changes and Termination. Contractor may, without invalidating the Subcontract or any bond given
hereunder, order extra and/or additional work, deletions, or other modifications to the Work, such changes
to be effective only upon written order of Contractor. Any adjustment to the Price or to time for completion
of the Work shall be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Contract, or in the absence
of such provisions on an agreed or equitable basis. Notwithstanding any inability to agree upon any
adjustment or the basis for an adjustment, Subcontractor shall, if directed by Contractor, nonetheless
proceed in accordance with the order, and the Price and time of completion shall be adjusted in accordance
with the foregoing. If requested by Contractor, Subcontractor shall submit forthwith its detailed estimate of
the value of and time involved in any such change or proposed change, including unit costs if requested,
and shall furnish detailed records of costs or savings actually realized as a result of any such change. If
any such changes diminish the quantity of work to be done, they shall not form the basis for a claim by
Subcontractor for loss of anticipated profits.
If the Contract is terminated, this Subcontract shall be thereupon likewise terminated, and
compensation to Subcontractor shall be made on the same basis as that provided for in the Contract or
Contract Documents, or in the absence of applicable provisions then on an equitable basis, based solely
on direct labor and material costs incurred by Subcontractors to the time of termination. In no event shall
Subcontractor be entitled to anticipated profits.
9. Relationships. Subcontractor shall be bound by the decisions of the Architect with respect to the
quality and quantity of the Work, meaning of the Contract Documents, acceptability of persons or
organizations performing the Work and other matters set forth in the Contract Documents. Subcontractor's
Work shall conform to any additional specifications, drawings or explanations furnished by the Architect for
the purpose of detailing and illustrating the Work. As used in this Subcontract, the word "Architect" shall
designate the architect, engineer, or other comparable person designated as the Owner's representative in
the relevant context of the Contract or Contract Documents, which representative shall generally be the
3
Architect/Engineer identified on page 1 hereof.
Contractor shall have the right to direct the prosecution of the Work and to coordinate such Work
with the work of others; and Contractor shall have with respect to Subcontractor the same rights and powers
as the Owner has reserved to itself with respect to Contractor for the performance of the applicable portions
of the Contract. Subcontractor shall cooperate with, and shall not delay, impede or otherwise impair the
work of others participating in the construction of the Project.
If Subcontractor is damaged by the act of the Owner, for which act the Contract affords benefits
and remedies solely to Contractor, then Subcontractor shall be derivatively entitled to the benefits to be
achieved by the pursuit of such remedies, as Subcontractor's interest may appear; provided, however,
Contractor shall not be required to file any claim of take any other action against Owner on behalf of
Subcontractor unless Subcontractor shall provide adequately for the payment of, and shall pay for, all costs
and expenses, including attorney's fees, that may be incurred by Contractor, in proportion to the amount of
Subcontractor's claim, in the pursuit of such remedies. Contractor shall not be required in behalf of
Subcontractor to file any claim or take any action against any person other than Owner; nor any claim or
action that is not asserted in good faith or that would unreasonably extend the date for a substantial final
payment under the Contract. It is agreed that the claim of Subcontractor against Contractor for the acts of
the Owner is limited to the rights of Contractor against Owner and when such rights have been exhausted
Subcontractor's claim is settled.
10. Assignment. Subcontractor shall not assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of this Subcontract, or
any part thereof, nor assign any monies due or to become due hereunder, except with the prior written
consent of Contractor. Any assignment of this Subcontract consented to by Contractor shall not operate to
relieve Subcontractor of its primary responsibility to Contractor for the due and full performance hereof, and
Subcontractor shall be liable to Contractor for all acts and omissions of Subcontractor's subcontractors and
assigns. Any assignment of this Subcontract or monies under it without the consent of Contractor will be
void and of not effect.
11. Bonds. Unless otherwise indicated in paragraph 25 hereof, Subcontractor at its own expense, shall
obtain from a commercial surety acceptable to Contractor separate bonds: (a) for the due and complete
performance of Subcontractor's obligations hereunder, and (b) for the timely payment of all charges for
labor, services, and materials furnished for the prosecution of the Work. Each such bond shall be for sum
in liquidated damages equal to the amount of the Price, shall be in a form acceptable to Contractor and
shall be delivered to Contractor within seven (7) days after the execution hereof. If, according to the
foregoing provisions, Subcontractor is not required to furnish such bond, Subcontractor shall submit to
Contractor a current financial statement; and Contractor reserves the right at any time to require
Subcontractor to furnish such bonds, but at Contractor's expense. If Subcontractor is requested to furnish
bonds and fails to obtain them at anytime during Subcontractor's performance of this Subcontract, such
failure will constitute a material breach by Subcontractor, entitling Contractor to terminate Subcontractor's
performance.
12. Indemnity. Subcontractor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Contractor, the project
owner, the architect, and the engineer and their respective officers, directors, agents, and employees herein
called the "indemnities" from any and all liability for damages, including, if allowed by law, reasonable
