ARTICLE 5    PAYMENTS
     5.1     PROGRESS PAYMENTS
     5.1.1  Based upon Applications for Payment submitted to the Architect by
     the Contractor and Certificates for Payment issued by the Architect, the
     Owner shall make progress payments on account of the Contract Sum to the
     Contractor as provided below and elsewhere in the Contract Documents.

     5.1.2  The period covered by each Application for Payment shall be one
     calendar month ending on the last day of the month, or as follows:

     5.1.3 Provided that an Application for Payment is received by the Architect
     not later than the first (1st) day of a month, the Owner shall make payment
     to the Contractor not later than the tenth (10th) day of the same month. If
     an Application for Payment is received by the Architect after the
     application date fixed above, payment shall be made

                                                                               3
<PAGE>
     by the Owner not later than ten (10) days after the Architect receives the
     Application for Payment.

     5.1.4  Each Application for Payment shall be based on the most recent
     schedule of values submitted by the Contractor in accordance with the
     Contract Documents. The schedule of values shall allocate the entire
     Contract Sum among the various portions of the Work. The schedule of values
     shall be prepared in such form and supported by such data to substantiate
     its accuracy as the Architect may require. This schedule, unless objected
     to by the Architect, shall be used as a basis for reviewing the
     Contractor's Applications for Payment.

     5.1.5  Applications for Payment shall indicate the percentage of completion
     of each portion of the Work as of the end of the period covered by the
     Application for Payment.

     5.1.6  Subject to other provisions of the Contract Documents, the amount of
            each progress payment shall be computed as follows:

          .1   Take that portion of the Contract Sum properly allocable to
               completed Work as determined by multiplying the percentage
               completion of each portion of the Work by the share of the
               Contract Sum allocated to that portion of the Work in the
               schedule of values, less retainage of ten percent (10%). Pending
               final determination of cost to the Owner of changes in the Work,
               amounts not in dispute shall be included as provided in
               Subparagraph 7.3.8 of AIA Document A201-1997;

          .2   Add that portion of the Contract Sum properly allocable to
               materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site
               for subsequent incorporation in the completed construction (or,
               if approved in advance by the Owner, suitably stored off the site
               at a location agreed upon in writing), less retainage of ten
               percent (10%);

          .3   Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner;
               and

          .4   Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Architect has withheld or
               nullified a Certificate for Payment as provided in Paragraph 9.5
               of AIA Document A201-1997.

     5.1.7  The progress payment amount determined in accordance with
            Subparagraph 5.1.6 shall be further modified under the following
            circumstances.

          .1   Add, upon Substantial Completion of the Work, a sum sufficient to
               increase the total payments to the full amount of the Contract
               Sum, less such amounts as the Architect shall determine for
               incomplete Work, retainage applicable to such work and unsettled
               claims; and (Subparagraph 9.8.5 of AIA Document A201-1997
               requires release of applicable retainage upon Substantial
               Completion of Work with consent of surety, if any)

                                                                               4
<PAGE>
          .2   Add, if final completion of Work is thereafter materially delayed
               through no fault of the Contractor, any additional amounts
               payable in accordance with Subparagraph 9.10.3 of AIA Document
               A201-1997.

     5.1.8  Reduction or limitation of retainage, if any, shall be as follows:
     (If it is intended, prior to Substantial Completion of the entire Work, to
     reduce or limit the retainage resulting from the percentages inserted in
     Clauses 5.1.6.1 and 5.1.6.2 above, and this is not explained elsewhere in
     the Contract Documents, insert here provisions for such reduction or
     limitation.

     Upon completion of 50 percent of the Work including materials stored,
     retainage shall be reduced to 5 percent provided the Work is reasonably on
     schedule and workmanship meets the intent of the Contract Documents.

     5.1.9 Except with the Owner's prior approval, the Contractor shall not make
     advance payments to suppliers for materials or equipment, which have not
     been delivered and stored at the site.

     5.2   FINAL PAYMENT
     5.2.1 Final payment, constituting the entire unpaid balance of the Contract
           Sum, shall be made by the Owner to the Contractor when:

          .1   the Contractor has fully performed the Contract except for the
               Contractor's responsibility to correct Work as provided in
               Subparagraph 12.2.2 of AIA Document A201-1997, and to satisfy
               other requirements, if any, which extend beyond final payment;
               and

          .2   a final Certificate for Payment has been issued by the Architect.

     5.2.2  The Owner's final payment to the Contractor shall be made no later
     than 30 days after the issuance of the Architect's final Certificate for
     Payment, or as follows:
