option of Landlord, exercisable by written notice to Tenant given within
thirty (30) days after Landlord is notified of the casualty, be terminated as

negligence of Landlord, its building manager, or their officers, employees or
agents, and Landlord and its building manager and their officers or employees
shall not be liable to Tenant for any such damage or loss whether or not the
result of their willful and gross negligence to the extent Tenant is

shall be taken or condemned for a public or quasi-public use under an statute
or by right of eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof by any
competent authority, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord and shall
not have any claim or right to any portion of the amount that may be awarded
as damages or paid as a result of any such condemnation or purchase; and all
right of the Tenant to damages therefore are hereby assigned by Tenant to

pay. All such payments made by the Contractor shall be credited against the
payment then due the Subcontractor. This provision is not intended to and shall
not create any third party beneficiary rights in any third party nor shall it
impose any obligation upon the Contractor to supervise payments due by the
Subcontractor to any of its subcontractors, materialmen, laborers, suppliers or
taxing authorities.
G. The Contractor may deduct from amounts due or to become due to
the Subcontractor, any sums due or to become due to the Contractor from the
Subcontractor whether or not said sums are in any way related to this
Subcontract or Project. Contractor may apply such deducted funds to any account
related or unrelated to this Subcontract or Project, wherein the obligations of
the Subcontractor have not been discharged and wherein the Contractor's
interests are directly or indirectly involved.
If the Subcontractor is in default of, or breaches or fails to
comply with any provision, covenant or requirement of this Subcontract; or
any person assets, or indicates that he will assert, any lien, claim, demand
or charge against the Project or land or improvements or funds related to the
Project, or against the Owner or the Contractor, arising from Subcontractor's
performance of this Subcontract, the Contractor may, at this option, withhold
out of any payments due or to become due to the Subcontractor such amounts as
the Contractor, in its sole discretion, may deem sufficient to completely
protect and indemnify the Contractor and the Owner from any and all loss,
damage and/or expense therefore, including attorney's fees and litigation
costs, until the condition requiring such measures has been remedied by the
Subcontractor. If the offending condition is not remedied by the
Subcontractor within a reasonable period of time, the Contractor may, in its
discretion, determine as being in the best interest of itself and/or the
Owner. If the Contractor is compelled to expend monies in defending,
discharging or otherwise disposing of any claim or lien or other demand in
excess of retained or withheld sums, the Subcontractor shall, upon demand,
reimburse the Contractor for the excess amount so expended, including
reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred by Contractor incident to such
defense, discharge or disposition and/or incident to Contractor's collection
from Subcontractor of such excess.

of performance of this Subcontract, either wholly or in part, and no payment
shall be construed to be an acceptance of the Subcontract Work, or any part
thereof. Acceptance by the Subcontractor of the final payment hereunder shall be
deemed to be a complete and unconditional release of any and all existing or
future claims or demands by the Subcontractor against the Contractor, known or
unknown, hereunder or in connection herewith, whatever they may be or howsoever
they may arise, as well as for every action and neglect of the Contractor and
any person or firm for whom the Contractor shall or may be deemed responsible.

other insurance or coverage as required by the Contractor or the Principal
Contract, including without limitation claims for damages for personal injury,
including death, which may arise from operations under this Subcontract carried

accordance with the Principal Contract. Certificates evidencing that such
required insurance is in with the Principal Contract. Certificates evidencing
that such required insurance is in effect shall be furnished by the
Subcontractor to the Contractor promptly after such insurance has been procured.
Such certificates shall not be altered, amended or terminated until the
insurance company which has issued said policy has given the Contractor notice
thereof and thirty (30) days have elapsed from the date of Contractor's receipt
of said notice.

maintain such insurance and policies in full force and effect as aforesaid,
the Subcontractor hereby authorizes the Contractor, without any notice of its
intention to do so, to provide such required policies of insurance and other
coverage, on behalf for the account of the Subcontractor and to pay any and
all premiums due thereon, and to deduct the aggregate amount of such premiums
so paid by the Contractor from any monies, which may be due or thereafter
become due to the Subcontractor under this Subcontract.

as to insurance, shall not be relieved from any liability whatsoever imposed by
the provisions of this Subcontract, the Principal Contract or otherwise.

or alleged to have been caused by any act or omission of the Subcontractor or

proceeding is instituted against
4
the Contractor based upon any liability or defect arising out of or alleged
to have risen out of the performance or the operations under this Subcontract,
the Contractor shall, within thirty (30) days, give notice in writing thereof
to the Subcontractor. Upon the receipt of such notice, the Subcontractor, at
its own cost and expense, shall defend against such action, suit proceeding,
claim, counterclaim, set-off, recoupment or other defense and take all such
steps as the Contractor may deem necessary to prevent the obtaining of
Judgment against or the successful maintenance of such claim, counterclaim,
set-off, recoupment or other defense against the Contractor. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Contractor shall be permitted to be represented by its own
counsel should Contractor so desire.
C. If any action, suit, proceeding, claim or demand is made against
the Contractor, its officers, directors, agents, representatives, employees,
successors or assigns against which the Subcontractor has herein agreed to
indemnify the Contractor, then the Contractor may withhold from any payment due
or hereafter to become due to the Subcontractor hereunder, an amount sufficient
in its sole judgment to protect and indemnify it from such action, suit,
proceeding, claim or demand, together with legal fees ad disbursements.
