perform the work so as not to delay any other trades or contractors, time being of the essence of this Subcontract. Any

sequence, if deemed necessary, in the judgment of the Contractor to maintain the progress of the work. Any such

Subcontractor an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) or such higher percentage as required by applicable law of the
value of the work performed by the Subcontractor as determined by the Architect and approved by the Contractor during
any calendar month within fifteen (15) days after payment therefor has been received by the Contractor from the Owner,
or within such shorter period specified by applicable law, statute or regulation. The Contractor shall be under no
obligation to make any payment to the Subcontractor except to the extent that the Contractor has received funds from the
Owner for the work invoiced by the Subcontractor; that is to say, the Subcontractor shall not be entitled to payment if for
any reason, the Owner fails to pay the Contractor in accordance with the General Contract, such payment from the Owner
being a condition precedent to any obligation of Contractor to Subcontractor. Retainage and any other balance of the
Subcontract Amount shall be payable fifteen (15) days or within such shorter period specified by applicable law, after
the work under this Subcontract has been completed and accepted by the Owner, Architect, and Contractor and following
approval by the Architect of the final application for payment, and settlement of all claims, if any, under this Agreement,
provided that Subcontractor has fully performed all of its obligations hereunder. The Contractor is hereby authorized to
deduct and offset from any payment an amount equal to any and all sums or obligations owing by the Subcontractor to
the Contractor and costs necessary to complete the work to be performed under this Subcontract, and any and all claims
liquidated or unliquidated, by the Contractor against the Subcontractor, arising hereunder, under any other contract or
agreement between the Subcontractor and the Contractor or from any other liability or obligation of the Subcontractor to
the Contractor whether under this Subcontract or otherwise.
(b) The Subcontractor agrees to submit to the Contractor applications for payment by the 15th of each month, or
at such other time as provided in the Contract Documents so as to enable the Contractor to timely apply to the Owner for
payment. As a condition precedent to the payment of any application, the Subcontractor shall (1) produce waivers of
mechanics lien rights and claim releases in the form required by Contractor by Subcontractor and all persons supplying
labor or materials to the Subcontractor on the Project through the period covered by the application, or (2) exhibit such
other evidence as the Contractor may require that charges for all labor and material have been paid. Any payments made
by Contractor to Subcontractor are to be held in trust by Subcontractor for the payment of any lower tier Subcontractor
or supplier. The Contractor shall have the right to contact Subcontractor's suppliers and subcontractors of any tier, direct
or indirect, to determine the current status of indebtedness and Subcontractor authorizes them to provide such
information. Contractor in its discretion may make checks payable jointly to Subcontractor and the supplier or
subcontractor or directly to the supplier or subcontractor for the account of the Subcontractor.
(c) Payment by the Contractor to the Subcontractor or for its account shall not be deemed to be an admission or
approval by the Contractor of the sufficiency of the work covered by the payment.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, Contractor shall be under no obligation to make any
payment to the Subcontractor under any provision hereof except to the extent that Contractor has received funds from
Owner, payment by Owner being a condition precedent to payment of the Subcontractor. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing in this Subcontract shall be construed to prohibit Subcontractor from pursuing its rights, if any, to a mechanic's
lien or statutory bond claim in the event that non-payment of the Subcontractor was caused by the failure of the Owner
to pay Contractor amounts legally due. Subcontractor further agrees that, prior to exercising its rights or filing claims, if
any, against the Contractor or any smety for non-payment caused by the failure of the Owner to pay Contractor amounts
legally due, Subcontractor shall first timely exercise and exhaust any rights and remedies that may exist with respect to
enforcing a mechanic's lien on the Project.
(e) Contractor may apply any payments otherwise due Subcontractor hereunder to any other indebtedness, liability
or obligation of Subcontractor to Contractor whether under this Subcontract or any other agreement or circumstance.
ARTICLE 6. ADDITIONAL OR OMITTED WORK--
(a) In the event that the Contractor directs Subcontractor to perform additional work, Subcontractor agrees that it
will promptly perform and diligently complete such work whether or not Contractor and Subcontractor have agreed on
the cost of such work. Subcontractor shall submit to Contractor a lump sum proposal for such work, which proposal shall
include a detailed cost breakdown for each component of the work, indicating both quantities and unit prices, and such
proposal shall be submitted to Contractor not later than 7 days after Contractor directs Subcontractor to perform extra or
additional work or such lesser period if required by the Contract between Owner and Contractor. If a lump sum price or
unit price for the additional work cannot be agreed upon, or Subcontractor fails to submit such proposal within 7 days
after Contractor directs Subcontractor to perform extra or additional work, Subcontractor agrees to do the work on the
basis of its actual cost plus percentage fees for overhead and profit as set forth in Article 10. The Contractor shall not be
liable for payment for any additional work performed by the Subcontractor unless such work is first expressly authorized
by the Contractor in writing and payment is made by the Owner to the Contractor for such extra work, payment by Owner
to Contractor being a condition precedent for Contractor to pay Subcontractor for such work. Both authorization in
writing by the Contractor and actual payment by the Owner to the Contractor for such extra work shall be conditions
precedent to Contractor's obligation to pay Subcontractor for such additional work. Any additional compensation or time
to be given to Subcontractor shall be set forth in a Subcontract supplement and shall constitute a full and final equitable
adjustment of compensation, time or any other alleged entitlement, known or unknown, arising in connection with the
facts and circumstances described in and which gave rise to such contract supplement and Subcontractor waives all
damages, direct, indirect and consequential, relating to such facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, impact,
reduced productivity, interference by other trades, lack of coordination of the work by Contractor, inefficiencies,
acceleration, delays, extended overhead, diminished bonding capacity or lost profits.
(b) In the event that the Subcontractor performs any such authorized additional work on an actual cost plus basis,
it shall furnish each day to the representative of the Contractor, duplicate payroll sheets, timesheets, material tickets,
equipment charges, and a statement or slips for all other charges, retaining a copy of each thereof, and securing on each
thereof the signature of the duly accredited representative of the Contractor. Such signed copies of payroll sheets,
timesheets, material tickets, statements and slips shall accompany the application for payment.
(c) Should the Contractor during the execution of this Contract require the Subcontractor to omit any work
embraced within the terms of this Subcontract, said omission being for the account of the Owner, the Contractor, or any
other subcontractor on the work, the Subcontractor agrees to omit such work, and the Contractor will deduct from any
monies due the Subcontractor the value of such omitted work as reasonably determined by Contractor.
(d) In the event of any dispute, controversy, or claim for additional compensation or time extensions, except for
payment for extra or additional work expressly directed by Contractor in accordance with Section 6 (a) of this

Subcontract, the compensation for which shall be fully and finally governed by Section 6 (a) of this Subcontract and for
which no further claim can or shall be made, notice in writing shall be given to the Contractor no later than seven (7)
days following the occurrence on which such claim is based, unless the notice provision in the General Contract between
the Owner and Contractor is less than seven (7) days, in which case, Subcontractor shall give notice to Contractor within
2 days less than the time required for Contractor to give notice to the Owner according to the notice-provision in the
General Contract. Such notice shall describe the dispute, controversy or claim in detail so as to allow Contractor to
review its merits. Such notice shall also provide detailed information to substantiate such claim including supporting
documentation and calculations, and including any information requested by Contractor. Any claim not presented within
such time period shall be deemed waived by Subcontractor.
(e) If the Subcontractor shall make any claim against the Contractor for extra work or additional compensation for
which the Owner or its agents may be liable, the Contractor may present such claim or claims to the Architect and/or
Owner for determination and decision provided (1) such claim is not, in the judgment of the Contractor, made in bad
faith, (2) Subcontractor has given notice in accordance with Article 6 (d) and in the form required by the General Contract,
and has presented the claim to Contractor within the time required by Article 6 (d), (3) Subcontractor has both requested
in writing that Contractor present the claim and has agreed in writing, on terms satisfactory to Contractor, to pay all costs
of Contractor in presenting and pursuing such claim. Further, if Contractor requires that Subcontractor execute a
liquidating agreement or similar agreement on terms satisfactory to Contractor further memorializing the understanding
of the parties in connection with the presentation of such claims, Subcontractor shall execute such agreement as a
precondition for Contractor to submit such claim. Presentation of the claim by Contractor shall not be construed as an
acknowledgment of the validity thereof, or a waiver of any right of the Contractor, and such action shall be without
prejudice to its rights. If the claim is presented by the Contractor to the_Architect and the Owner, the decision of the
Architect and/or Owner shall be final and binding upon the Subcontractor to the same extent and purpose that it is final
and binding on the Contractor.
(f) No additional time or compensation will be allowed for weather delays or difliculties or inconveniences arising
from mud, dust, water, ice, snow, wind, heat or cold or similar natural or physical conditions unless permitted under the
General Contract and a claim therefore is made as set forth in Section 6(e). Contractor assumes no responsibility for
material received, unloaded or stored for or by Subcontractor. Materials, tools, supplies, equipment, etc., belonging to or
leased to Subcontractor are its responsibility and no claim for missing or stolen property will be allowed. Contractor shall
not be required to provide hoisting facilities or temporary power, water or heat unless otherwise provided herein.
(g) Contractor may direct Subcontractor to work overtime or premium time and Subcontractor shall comply with
such direction. If approved in advance in writing by Contractor's authorized representative, Subcontractor may be
reimbursed for such work but only for the dif Terence between regular time and overtime for direct payroll cost and the
related payroll taxes, insurance, and benefits, and shall not be entitled to any additional compensation for overhead or
profit or for inefficiencies or declines in productivity or other impacts. Subcontractor shall be responsible for the costs_of
overtime work caused by failure of Subcontractor to provide sufficient manpower maintain the progress of the Work, or
otherwise meet its obligations hereunder.
ARTICLE 7. DEFAULT-
(a) In the event the Subcontractor shall, in the judgment of the Contractor, (1) become unable to fulfill its_financial
obligation, become insolvent, or file or have filed against it any petition in bankruptcy, make an assignment for the benefit
of creditors, or commence or have commenced against it or enter into any other proceeding or arrangement for relief of
debtors, reorganization or deferral or discharge of debts, (2) fail to pay, when due, for materials, supplies, labor, taxes,
or other items purchased or used in connection with the work, (3) fail to pursue the work in accordance with this
Subcontract and the schedules established by the Contractor, (4) fail to supply a sufliciency of properly skilled
supervisors, workmen, or of materials, tools, equipment, or supplies of the proper quality (including failure occasioned

threaten to interfere with or disrupt the operations of the Contractor, the Owner, or any other laborer, materialmen,
supplier, subcontractor, or other person working on the job, whether by reason of any labor dispute, picketing, boycotting,
or by any other reason, (6) violate any applicable federal, state, or local laws or regulations, (7) advise Contractor or
demonstrate to Contractor that Subcontractor will be unable to timely and adequately perform any of its obligations
under this Subcontract, or (8) commit any other breach of this Subcontract, then any such event shall immediately with
no further action or notice required on the part of the Contractor, constitute a default by the Subcontractor under this
Subcontract, and any such event shall be deemed to be a breach of this Subcontract. The Contractor will give the
Subcontractor written notice of default. Upon receipt of such notice, Subcontractor shall have two (2) days in which to
cure any such default provided, however, that if, in the judgment of the Contractor, such default cannot be cured within
a two (2) day period after such notice, or Subcontractor has advised Contractor or Contactor has otherwise determined
that Subcontractor is unable to cure or remedy said default, the Contractor will notify the Subcontractor of default but
the Subcontractor will not have any right to cue such default_and the Subcontractor may be terminated immediately. In
the event of a default for which there is no right to cure as provided hereinabove, or in the event of the expiration of the
2-day cure period set forth hereinabove without all such defaults having been fully cured, the Contractor may terminate
this Subcontract, take possession of all or any materials, fabricated items wherever located, supplies, equipment and
tools pertaining to the Project whether on the Project site, in the Subcontractor's premises or in transit, and may make
independent arrangements for completion of the work._Subcontractor grants to Contractor a right of entry into any
premises owned or leased by Subcontractor for the_foregoing purposes. The amount of completion cost, as well as any
other costs, damages, or expenses, including Contractor's legal fees and expense, incurred as a result of such default shall
be charged against any unpaid balance due to the Subcontractor under this Agreement or under any other agreement
between Contractor and Subcontractor; and, if said total costs, damages or expenses shall exceed the balance due, the
Subcontractor agrees to pay the amount of said excess immediately upon demand of the Contractor. The materials,
supplies, equipment and tools taken by the Contractor may be used in completing the Project and may be incorporated
into the improvements being constructed. With respect to any of such items incorporated into the Project, or consumed
in the job, the net reasonable value of the same as of the date of taking shall be taken into account in the calculation of
the aforesaid total completion costs, damages, and expenses. With respect to any such items which are not so incorporated
or consumed, or which have a salvage value, the Contractor may, at its option (1) assume title to the same or any part of
the same, as of the date of default and take into account the net reasonable value thereof as of the date of taking in the

account the net reasonable value of the use thereof by Contractor in the calculation of the said total completion cost,
damages, and expenses
(b) In addition to, and not in substitution of, the remedies herein above specified, Contractor may immediately, in
the event of default or failure of Subcontractor to perform its obligations hereunder, provide or arrange for such workmen
and materials necessary to continue and complete the work contracted for hereunder for the account of the Subcontractor
and at Subcontractor's cost and expense, and apply any and all funds due or to become due to the Subcontractor thereto,
all without terminating, rescinding or voiding this Subcontract or releasing the Subcontractor from any liability hereunder
or from any damages caused by Subcontractor's failure to perform.
(c) In the event of a default by the Subcontractor under this Subcontract, all sums and obligations owing to the
Contractor by the Subcontractor in any right or capacity, whether under this Subcontract or otherwise, immediately shall
become due and payable to the Contractor.
(d) In the event the Contractor does not terminate this Subcontract, but assents to delayed completion of the work
by the Subcontractor, such assent shall not be construed as a waiver of the Subcontractor's obligation to reimburse the
Contractor for any costs, damages, or expenses incurred as a result of such delay; and all such costs, damages, and
expenses shall be paid or reimbursed to Contractor upon demand.
(e) In the event that Contractor wrongfully exercises any of its rights under this Article 7, Subcontractor's sole and
exclusive remedy shall be payment of the Subcontract Amount for the portion of the Subcontract performed by
Subcontractor, and Subcontractor hereby waives any and all other rights, claims and remedies under this Subcontract
and/or at law.
ARTICLE 8. RELEASES OF CLAIMS AND WAIVER OF LIENS-
Subcontractor agrees to provide to Contractor, and to provide and obtain from its subcontractors and suppliers of all tiers,
executed releases of claims and/or waivers of liens and lien rights in the form required by Contractor and at such times
as may be requested by Contractor. Subcontractor shall hold all monies paid by Contractor in trust for the payment of
lower tier subcontractors and suppliers, promptly apply all payments made hereunder to Subcontractor's cost for labor
and materials for the Project, and shall further take any and all necessary actions to keep the Project free and clear of all
claims for liens and any and all claims against Contractor or Owner or any bonds posted by either of them in connection
with the Project. In the event that any person furnishing labor or materials to the Subcontractor files a notice of intent to
place a lien on the Project or files a lien on the Project or files a notice of claim or makes a claim against the Contractor
or Owner or any bonds posted by either of them in connection with the Project, Subcontractor shall promptly but in no
event later than any time required for a release bond to be posted under the General Contract take all necessary steps to
have such notice or lien or claim withdrawn, including, if requested by Contractor, the posting of a bond. In the event
that Subcontractor does not fulfill its obligations under this Article 8, Contractor may take all actions which it deems
reasonable or necessary to protect the Project from liens and claims and the costs of any such actions including the cost
of posting a release bond and attorney's fees, shall be deducted from amounts payable by Contractor to Subcontractor
under this Agreement or any other agreement or circumstance. Subcontractor shall remain liable in the event that monies
payable to it are insufficient to pay any damages or expenses arising from such liens.
ARTICLE 9. MISCELLANEOUS--
(a) The Subcontractor shall not sublet, assign or transfer this Subcontract or any part thereof, or the money due or
to become due under it, without the written consent of Contractor; and any assignment or transfer without such consent
shall be void. Subcontractor hereby assigns to Contractor, upon termination of this Subcontract for any reason prior to
its complete performance, all of subcontractor's rights in and to any agreements or purchase orders for labor or materials,
equipment or services related to the Project, as well as any shop drawings, plans, specifications, or other documents
prepared by or on behalf of the Subcontractor and such assignment shall create no rights in any other person unless
accepted by Contractor. Contractor may assign this Subcontract, including but not limited to the Owner, the Owner's
lender, or other entities as required by the Owner, to another contractor upon termination of the General Contract, or to
any other persons or entities as required by the General Contract.
(b) The Subcontractor shall not cause any unnecessary interference with or delay to the Contractor or to other
subcontractors on said Project and shall repair promptly and be responsible for all damage done to the work of the
Contractor or other subcontractors by Subcontractor, its agents, employees, subcontractors, or suppliers. Subcontractor
shall be directly responsible to the Contractor or other subcontractors whose work is so damaged. The Contractor shall
be responsible to the Subcontractor for physical damage to Subcontractor's work only if such damage is directly and
proximately caused by the sole negligence of the Contractor.
(c) The Subcontractor shall clean up and remove daily from the job site dirt, trash and debris arising from its work
as directed by the Contractor. In the event the Subcontractor fails to clean up and remove such dirt, trash and debris, the
Contractor may, at its discretion, arrange for the same at Subcontractor's expense.
(d) The Subcontractor hereby assumes entire responsibility and liability for any and all damage or injury of any kind
or nature whatever (including death resulting therefrom) to all persons, whether employees of any tier of the
Subcontractor or otherwise and to all property caused by, resulting from, arising out of or occurring in connection with
the execution of the Work, or in preparation for the Work, or any extension, modiñcation or amendment to the Work by
change order or otherwise. Except to the extent, if any, expressly prohibited by statute and excluding from this indemnity
such acts or omissions, if any, of the party indemniñed for which it is not legally entitled to be indemnified by the
Subcontractor under applicable law, should any claims for such damage or injury (including death resulting therefrom)
be made or asserted, whether or not such claims are based upon Whiting-Turner's or the Owner's alleged active or passive
negligence or participation in the wrong or upon any alleged breach of any statutory duty or obligation on the part of
Whiting-Turner or the Owner, the Subcontractor agrees to indemnify and save harmless Whiting-Turner and the Owner,
