Sub-Contractor shall provide all transportation, scaffolding, hoist, apparatus, plant, materials and supplies necessary to the execution of his work, and shall be responsible for the construction, maintenance and use of same including damage thereto by fire.

He shall do all cutting and patching necessary to make his work match that of other trades and shall make good his work after them.

ARTICLE IX. Should Sub-Contractor at any time refuse or neglect to supply enough properly skilled workmen, or materials of the proper quality, or fail in any respect to prosecute the work with promptness and diligence, or fail in the performance of any of the agreements herein contained the Contractor shall be at liberty after two (2) days' notice to Sub-Contractor to provide such labor or materials, and to deduct the cost thereof from any money then due or thereafter to become due to Sub-Contractor under this agreement. Contractor shall also be at liberty to terminate the employment of Sub-Contractor, and to enter upon the premises and take possession, for the purpose of completing the work included under_this_agreement, of all the materials, tools and appliances belonging to Sub-Contractor, and to employ any other person or persons to finish the work and to provide the materials therefor; and in case of such discontinuance of the employment of Sub-Contractor, Sub-Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payments under this agreement until the entire building shall be wholly finished, at which time, if the unpaid balance of the Price shall exceed the expense incurred by Contractor in finishing this work, such excess shall be paid by Contractor to Sub-Contractor, but if such expenses shall exceed such unpaid balance, Sub-Contractor shall and hereby does agree to pay the difference to Contractor. Nothing in this clause shall be construed as limiting the remedy to Contractor to the provisions of this clause, and failure on the part of Contractor to avail itself of the right under this clause shall not operate as a waiver of any rights obtaining under this agreement.

ARTICLE X. The Price shall be paid by Contractor to Sub-Contractor in current funds and only upon certificates of Contractor's Superintendent or of Architect, as follows:

As the work progresses monthly an amount equal to eighty-five (85) per cent. of the value of the completed work done during the preceding calendar month, provided, that a requisition on a form to be supplied by Contractor be delivered to Contractor on the last day of the month during which the work covered thereby was done and provided further that the unpaid balance of the Price shall at all times be sufficient, in the judgment of Architect or Contractor, to complete the work, and to pay any unpaid liens or claims for which Sub-Contractor is responsible hereunder. SubContractor whenever requested so to do shall submit to Contractor satisfactory evidence of the payment of all indebtedness incurred for material and labor under this contract. The final payment shall be made forty days after completion of the entire building, or such later date as may be necessary in order to go beyond the lien period as may be prescribed by law at that time, upon issuance of certificate from Architect that the building has been done to his satisfaction. This certificate shall be a condition precedent to the right of Sub-Contractor to final payment. If at any time there shall be evidence of any lien or claim for which, if established, Contractor or Owner might become liable, and which is chargeable to Sub-Contractor, Contractor shall have the right to retain out of any payment due or to become due, an amount sufficient completely to indemnify Contractor and Owner against such lien or claim. Should any claim or lien develop after all payments are made, Sub-Contractor shall refund to Contractor all moneys that the latter may be compelled to pay in discharging such claims on the premises made obligatory in consequence of Sub-Contractor's default.

Contractor may, from time to time, in order to expedite the work hereunder, make payments to Sub-Contractor for materials prepared and ready for delivery. If Sub-Contractor is paid for materials before they are delivered at the site, a bill of sale and fire insurance policies protecting Contractor against loss and at option of Contractor a lease upon the premises upon which material paid for is stored, all in form satisfactory to Contractor, shall be furnished by Sub-Contractor at the latter's cost.

ARTICLE XI. No progress payment made under this contract shall be conclusive evidence of the performance of this contract either wholly or in part, and no payment shall be construed to be an acceptance of defective work or improper materials.

ARTICLE XII. Sub-Contractor agrees not to sub-let any portion of the work of this contract or to hypothecate, pledge, or assign_any payments thereunder except by and in accordance with the consent of Contractor.

ARTICLE XIII. Sub-Contractor hereby waives and releases all lien or right of lien now existing, or that may hereafter arise, for work or labor performed or material furnished under this contract under any lien laws upon the building in which this work is being done, the land upon which the same is situated, and upon any money or moneys due or to become due from any person or persons to Contractor, and agrees if so required, to furnish a good and sufficient waiver of lien from every person or persons and corporation furnishing labor or materials for said premises under SubContractor.

ARTICLE XIV. Sub-Contractor agrees to indemnify and save harmless Contractor and Owner of the said building against all damages which they or either of them may sustain by reason of claims for infringement of patents arising out of the work and at his own expense to defend any action brought against Contractor or Owner founded upon the claim of such infringement.

ARTICLE XV. Sub-Contractor shall indemnify and save Owner, Architect and Contractor harmless against all claims for damages to persons growing out of the execution of the work. Until completion and final acceptance of the work Sub-Contractor shall maintain compensation insurance covering employees as required by law and liability insurance against all claims for damages for personal injury or death suffered by persons other than employees and growing out of the execution of the work; such insurance shall be carried in a company or companies acceptable to Contractor, and as to liability insurance in amounts satisfactory to Contractor. Before commencing the work Sub-Contractor shall furnish a certificate from his insurance carrier showing that he has complied with the foregoing provisions of this article and providing that the said insurance policies will not be changed or cancelled during their term until after at least five days' written notice to Contractor. In the event of failure of Sub-Contractor to furnish and maintain such insurance, Contractor shall have the right to take out and maintain the said insurance for and in the name of SubContractor, and Sub-Contractor agrees to pay the cost thereof and to furnish all necessary information to permit Contractor to take out and maintain such insurance for the account of Sub-Contractor. Compliance by Sub-Contractor with the foregoing requirements as to carrying insurance and furnishing certificates shall not relieve Sub-Contractor from liability under this article.

Sub-Contractor shall indemnify and save harmless Owner, Architect and Contractor against all claims for damages to property due to the conduct of Sub-Contractor or his sub-contractors, employees, or agents in or about the said building or the execution of the work, and shall at his own expense defend any suit or action brought against Owner, Architect or Contractor founded upon the claim of such damage.
