                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

1.1      RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES

The Construction Manager accepts the relationship of trust and confidence
established with the Owner by this Agreement, and covenants with the Owner to
furnish the Construction Manager's reasonable skill and judgment and to
cooperate with the Architect in furthering the interests of the Owner. The
Construction Manager shall furnish construction administration and management
services and use the Construction Manager's best efforts to perform the Project
in an expeditious and economical manner consistent with the interests of the
Owner. The Owner shall endeavor to promote harmony and cooperation among the
Owner, Architect, Construction Manager and other persons or entities employed by
the Owner for the Project.

1.2      GENERAL CONDITIONS

For the Construction Phase, the General Conditions of the Contract shall be the
1987 Edition of AIA Document A201, General Conditions of the Contract for
Construction, which is incorporated herein by reference. For the Preconstruction
Phase, or in the event that the Preconstruction and Construction Phases proceed
concurrently, AIA Document A201 shall apply to the Preconstruction Phase only as
specifically provided in this Agreement. The term "Contractor" as used in AIA
Document A201 shall mean the Construction Manager.

                                   ARTICLE 2
                             CONSTRUCTION MANAGER'S
                                RESPONSIBILITIES

The Construction Manager shall perform the services described in this Article.
The services to be provided under Paragraphs 2.1 and 2.2 constitute the
Preconstruction Phase services. If the Owner and Construction Manager agree,
after consultation with the Architect, the Construction Phase may commence
before the Preconstruction Phase is completed, in which case both phases shall
proceed concurrently.

2.1      PRECONSTRUCTION PHASE

2.1.1    PRELIMINARY EVALUATION

The Construction Manager shall provide a preliminary evaluation of the Owner's
program and Project budget requirements, each in terms of the other.

2.1.2    CONSULTATION

The Construction Manager with the Architect shall jointly schedule and attend
regular meetings with the Owner and Architect. The Construction Manager shall
consult with the Owner and Architect regarding site use and improvements, and
the selection of materials, building systems and equipment. The Construction
Manager shall provide recommendations on construction feasibility; actions
designed to minimize adverse effects of labor or material shortages; time
requirements for procurement, installation and construction completion; and
factors related to construction cost including estimates of alternative designs
or materials, preliminary budgets and possible economies.

2.1.3    PRELIMINARY PROJECT SCHEDULE

When Project requirements described in Subparagraph 3.1.1 have been sufficiently
identified, the Construction Manager shall prepare, and periodically update, a
preliminary Project schedule for the Architect's review and the Owner's
approval. The Construction Manager shall obtain the Architect's approval of the
portion of the preliminary Project schedule relating to the performance of the
Architect's services. The Construction Manager shall coordinate and integrate
the preliminary Project schedule with the services and activities of the Owner,
Architect and Construction Manager. As design proceeds, the preliminary Project
schedule shall be updated to indicate proposed activity sequences and durations,
milestone dates for receipt and approval of pertinent information, submittal of
a Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal, preparation and processing of shop drawings
and samples, delivery of materials or equipment requiring long-lead time
procurement, Owner's occupancy requirements showing portions of the Project
having occupancy priority, and proposed date of Substantial Completion. If
preliminary Project schedule updates indicate that previously approved schedules
may not be met, the Construction Manager shall make appropriate recommendations
to the Owner and Architect.

2.1.4    PHASED CONSTRUCTION

The Construction Manager shall make recommendations to the Owner and Architect
regarding the phased issuance of Drawings and Specifications to facilitate
phased construction of the Work, if such phased construction is appropriate for
the Project, taking into consideration such factors as economies, time of
performance, availability of labor and materials, and provisions for temporary
facilities.

2.1.5    PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATES

2.1.5.1 When the Owner has sufficiently identified the Project requirements and
the Architect has prepared other basic design criteria, the Construction Manager
shall prepare, for the review of the Architect and approval of the Owner, a
preliminary cost estimate utilizing area, volume or similar conceptual
estimating techniques.

2.1.5.2 When Schematic Design Documents have been prepared by the Architect and
approved by the Owner, the Construction Manager shall prepare for the review of
the Architect and approval of the Owner, a more detailed estimate with
supporting data. During the preparation of the Design Development Documents, the
Construction Manager shall update and refine this estimate at appropriate
intervals agreed to by the Owner, Architect and Construction Manager.

and approved by the Owner, the

Construction Manager shall prepare a detailed estimate with supporting data for
review by the Architect and approval by the Owner. During the preparation of the
Construction Documents, the Construction Manager shall update and refine this
estimate at appropriate intervals agreed to by the Owner, Architect and
Construction Manager.

2.1.5.4 If any estimate submitted to the Owner exceeds previously approved
estimates of the Owner's Budget, the Construction Manager shall make appropriate
recommendations to the Owner and Architect.

2.1.6     SUBCONTRACTORS AND SUPPLIERS

The Construction Manager shall seek to develop subcontractor interest in the
Project and shall furnish to the Owner and Architect for their information a
list of possible subcontractors, including suppliers who are to furnish
materials or equipment fabricated to a special design, from whom proposals will
be requested for each principal portion of the Work. The Architect will promptly
reply in writing to the Construction Manager if the Architect or Owner know of
any objection to such subcontractor or supplier. The receipt of such list shall
not require the Owner or Architect to investigate the qualifications of
proposed subcontractors or suppliers, nor shall it waive the right of the Owner
or Architect later to object to or reject any proposed subcontractor or
supplier.

2.1.7     LONG-LEAD TIME ITEMS

The Construction Manager shall recommend to the Owner and Architect a schedule
for procurement of long-lead time items which will constitute part of the Work
as required to meet the Project schedule. If such long-lead time items are
procured by the Owner, they shall be procured on terms and conditions acceptable
to the Construction Manager. Upon the Owner's acceptance of the Construction
Manager's Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal, all contracts for such items shall
be assigned by the Owner to the Construction Manager, who shall accept
responsibility for such items as if procured by the Construction Manager. The
Construction Manager shall expedite the delivery of long-lead time items.

2.1.8     EXTENT OF RESPONSIBILITY

The Construction Manager does not warrant or guarantee estimates and schedules
except as may be included as part of the Guaranteed Maximum Price. The
recommendations and advice of the Construction Manager concerning design
alternatives shall be subject to the review and approval of the Owner and the
Owner's professional consultants. It is not the Construction Manager's
responsibility to ascertain that the Drawings and Specifications are in
accordance with applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, rules and
regulations. However, if the Construction Manager recognizes that portions of
the Drawings and Specifications are at variance therewith, the Construction
Manager shall promptly notify the Architect and Owner in writing.

2.1.9     EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY AND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION

The Construction Manager shall comply with applicable laws, regulations and
special requirements of the Contract Documents regarding equal employment
opportunity and affirmative action programs.

2.2       GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE PROPOSAL AND CONTRACT TIME

2.2.1 When the Drawings and Specifications are sufficiently complete, the
Construction Manager shall propose a Guaranteed Maximum Price, which shall be
the sum of the estimated Cost of the Work and the Construction Manager's Fee.

2.2.2 As the Drawings and Specifications may not be finished at the time the
Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal is prepared, the Construction Manager shall
provide in the Guaranteed Maximum Price for further development of the Drawings
and Specifications by the Architect that is consistent with the Contract
Documents and reasonably inferable therefrom. Such further development does not
include such things as changes in scope, systems, kinds and quality of
materials, finishes or equipment, all of which, if required, shall be
incorporated by Change Order.

2.2.3 The estimated Cost of the Work shall include the Construction Manager's
contingency, a sum established by the Construction Manager for the Construction
Manager's exclusive use to cover costs arising under Subparagraph 2.2.2 and
other costs which are properly reimbursable as Cost of the Work but not the
basis for a Change Order.

2.2.4     BASIS OF GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE

The Construction Manager shall include with the Guaranteed Maximum Price
proposal a written statement of its basis, which shall include:

     .1   A list of the Drawings and Specifications, including all addenda

2.2.8 Upon acceptance by the Owner of the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal,
the Guaranteed Maximum Price and its basis shall be set forth in Amendment No.
1. The Guaranteed Maximum Price shall be subject to additions and deductions by
a change in the Work as provided in the Contract Documents and the date of
Substantial Completion shall be subject to adjustment as provided in the
Contract Documents.

2.2.9 The Owner shall authorize and cause the Architect to revise the Drawings
and Specifications to the extent necessary to reflect the agreed-upon
assumptions and clarifications contained in Amendment No. 1. Such revised
Drawings and Specifications shall be furnished to the Construction Manager in
accordance with schedules agreed to by the Owner, Architect and Construction
Manager. The Construction Manager shall promptly notify the Architect and Owner
if such revised Drawings and Specifications are inconsistent with the agreed-
upon assumptions and clarifications.

2.2.10 The Guaranteed Maximum Price shall include in the Cost of the Work only
those taxes which are enacted at the time the Guaranteed Maximum Price is
established.

2.3    CONSTRUCTION PHASE

2.3.1  GENERAL

2.3.1.1 The Construction Phase shall commence on the earlier of:

     (1) the Owner's acceptance of the Construction Manager's Guaranteed Maximum
     Price proposal and issuance of a Notice to Proceed, or

     (2) the Owner's first authorization to the Construction Manager to:

          (a) award a subcontract, or

          (b) undertake construction Work with the Construction Manager's own
          forces, or

          (c) issue a purchase order for materials or equipment required for
          the Work.

2.3.2  ADMINISTRATION

2.3.2.1 Those portions of the Work that the Construction Manager does not
customarily perform with the Construction Manager's own personnel shall be
performed under subcontracts or by other appropriate agreements with the
Construction Manager. The Construction Manager shall obtain bids from
Subcontractors and from suppliers of materials or equipment fabricated to a
special design for the Work from the list previously reviewed and, after
analyzing such bids, shall deliver such bids to the Owner and Architect. The
Owner shall then determine, with the advice of the Construction Manager and
subject to the reasonable objection of the Architect, which bids will be
accepted. The Owner may designate specific persons or entities from whom the
Construction Manager shall obtain bids; however, if the Guaranteed Maximum
Price has been established, the Owner may not prohibit the Construction Manager
from obtaining bids from other qualified bidders. The Construction Manager
shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom the Construction Manager
has reasonable objection.

2.3.2.2 If the Guaranteed Maximum Price has been established and a specific
bidder among those whose bids are delivered by the Construction Manager to the
Owner and Architect (1) is recommended to the Owner by the Construction
Manager; (2) is qualified to perform that portion of the Work; (3) has
submitted a bid which conforms to the requirements of the Contract Documents
without reservations or exceptions, but the Owner requires that another bid be
accepted, then the Construction Manager may require that a change in the Work
be issued to adjust the Contract Time and the Guaranteed Maximum Price by the
difference between the bid of the person or entity recommended to the Owner by
the Construction Manager and the amount of the subcontract or other agreement
actually signed with the person or entity designated by the Owner.

2.3.2.3 Subcontracts and agreements with suppliers furnishing materials or
equipment fabricated to a special design shall conform to the payment
provisions of Subparagraphs 7.1.8 and 7.1.9 and shall not be awarded on the
basis of cost plus a fee without the prior consent of the Owner.

2.3.2.4 The Construction Manager shall schedule and conduct meetings at which
the Owner, Architect, Construction Manager and appropriate Subcontractors can
discuss the status of the Work. The Construction Manager shall prepare and
promptly distribute meeting minutes.

2.3.2.5 Promptly after the Owner's acceptance of the Guaranteed Maximum Price
proposal, the Construction Manager shall prepare a schedule in accordance with
Paragraph 3.10 of AIA Document A201, including the Owner's occupancy
requirements.

2.3.2.6 The Construction Manager shall provide monthly written reports to the
Owner and Architect on the progress of the entire Work. The Construction
Manager shall maintain a daily log containing a record of weather,
Subcontractors working on the site, number of workers, Work accomplished,
problems encountered and other similar relevant data as the Owner may
reasonably require. The log shall be available to the Owner and Architect.

2.3.2.7 The Construction Manager shall develop a system of cost control for the
Work, including regular monitoring of actual costs for activities in progress
and estimates for uncompleted tasks and proposed changes. The Construction
Manager shall identify variances between actual and estimated costs and report
the variances to the Owner and Architect at regular intervals.

2.4    PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

The Construction Manager shall not be required to provide professional services
which constitute the practice of architecture or engineering, unless such
services are specifically required by the Contract Documents for a portion of
the Work or unless the Construction Manager has specifically agreed in writing
to provide such services. In such event, the Construction Manager shall cause
such services to be performed by appropriately licensed professionals.

2.5    UNSAFE MATERIALS

In addition to the provisions of Paragraph 10.1 in AIA Document A201, if
reasonable precautions will be inadequate to prevent foreseeable bodily injury
or death to persons resulting from a material or substance encountered but not
created on the site by the Construction Manager, the Construction Manager
shall, upon recognizing the condition, immediately stop Work in the affected
area and report the condition to the Owner and Architect in writing. The Owner,
Construction Manager and Architect shall then proceed in the same manner
described in Subparagraph 10.1.2 of AIA Document A201. The Owner shall be
responsible for obtaining the services of a licensed laboratory to verify the
presence or absence

event such material or substance is found to be present, to verify that it has
been rendered harmless. Unless otherwise required by the Contract Documents, the
Owner shall furnish in writing to the Construction Manager and Architect the
names and qualifications of persons or entities who are to perform tests
verifying the presence or absence of such material or substance or who are to
perform the task of removal or safe containment of such material or substance.
The Construction Manager and Architect will promptly reply to the Owner in
writing stating whether or not either has reasonable objection to the persons or
entities proposed by the Owner. If either the Construction Manager or Architect
has an objection to a person or entity proposed by the Owner, the Owner shall
propose another to whom the Construction Manager and Architect have no
reasonable objection.

5.2       GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE

5.2.1 The sum of the Cost of the Work and the Construction Manager's Fee are
guaranteed by the Construction Manager not to exceed the amount provided in
Amendment No. 1, subject to additions and deductions by changes in the Work as
provided in the Contract Documents. Such maximum sum as adjusted by approved
changes in the Work is referred to in the Contract Documents as the Guaranteed
Maximum Price. Costs which would cause the Guaranteed Maximum Price to be
exceeded shall be paid by the Construction Manager without reimbursement by the
Owner.

(Insert specific provisions if the Construction Manager is to participate in any
savings.)


5.3       CHANGES IN THE WORK

5.3.1 Adjustments to the Guaranteed Maximum Price on account of changes in the
Work subsequent to the execution of Amendment No. 1 may be determined by any of
the methods listed in Subparagraph 7.3.3 of AIA Document A201.

5.3.2 In calculating adjustments to subcontracts (except those awarded with the
Owner's prior consent on the basis of cost plus a fee), the terms "cost" and
"fee" as used in Clause 7.3.3.3 of AIA Document A201 and the terms "costs" and
"a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit" as used in Subparagraph 7.3.6
of AIA Document A201 shall have the meanings assigned to them in that document
and shall not be modified by this Article 5. Adjustments to subcontracts awarded
with the Owner's prior consent on the basis of cost plus a fee shall be
calculated in accordance with the terms of those subcontracts.

5.3.3 In calculating adjustments to the Contract, the terms "cost" and "costs"
as used in the above-referenced provisions of AIA Document A201 shall mean the
Cost of the Work as defined in Article 6 of the Agreement and the terms "and a
reasonable allowance for overhead and profit" shall mean the Construction
Manager's Fee as defined in Subparagraph 5.1.1 of this Agreement.

5.3.4 If no specific provision is made in Subparagraph 5.1.1 for adjustment of
the Construction Manager's Fee in the case of changes in the Work, or if the
extent of such changes is such, in the aggregate, that application of the
adjustment provisions of Subparagraph 5.1.1 will cause substantial inequity to
the Owner or Construction Manager, the Construction Manager's Fee shall be
equitably adjusted on the basis of the fee established for the original Work.

                                   ARTICLE 6

                    COST OF THE WORK FOR CONSTRUCTION PHASE

6.1       COSTS TO BE REIMBURSED

6.1.1 The term "Cost of the Work" shall mean costs necessarily incurred by the
Construction Manager in the proper performance of the Work. Such costs shall be
at rates not higher than those customarily paid at the place of the Project
except with prior consent of the Owner. The Cost of the Work shall include only
the items set forth in this Article 6.

6.1.2     LABOR COSTS

     .1   Wages of construction workers directly employed by the Construction
          Manager to perform the construction of the Work at the site or, with

          stationed at the Construction Manager's principal office or offices
          other than the site office shall be included in the Cost of Work, such
          personnel shall be identified below.)

          Field superintendent reimbursement at $54,600 based on 39 week
          construction duration.

          time required for the Work.

     .4   Costs paid or incurred by the Construction Manager for taxes,
          insurance, contributions, assessments and benefits required by law or
          collective bargaining agreements, and, for personnel not covered by
          such agreements, customary benefits such as sick leave, medical and
          health benefits, holidays, vacations and pensions, provided that such
          costs are based on wages and salaries included in the Cost of the Work
          under Clauses 6.1.2.1 through 6.1.2.3.

7.1.4 With each Application for Payment, the Construction Manager shall submit
payrolls, petty cash accounts, receipted invoices or invoices with check
vouchers attached, and any other evidence required by the Owner or Architect to
demonstrate that cash disbursements already made by the Construction Manager on
account of the Cost of the Work equal or exceed (1) progress payments already
received by the Construction Manager; less (2) that portion of those payments
attributable to the Construction Manager's Fee; plus (3) payrolls for the period
covered by the present Application for Payment.

7.1.5 Each Application for Payment shall be based upon the most recent schedule
of values submitted by the Construction Manager in accordance with the Contract
Documents. The schedule of values shall allocate the entire Guaranteed Maximum
Price among the various portions of the Work, except that the Construction
Manager's Fee shall be shown as a single separate item. 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 Construction Manager's
Applications for Payment.

7.1.6 Applications for Payment shall show the percentage completion of each
portion of the Work as of the end of the period covered by the Application for
Payment. The percentage completion shall be the lesser of (1) the percentage of
that portion of the Work which has actually been completed or (2) the percentage
obtained by dividing (a) the expense which has actually been incurred by the
Construction Manager on account of that portion of the Work for which the
Construction Manager has made or intends to make actual payment prior to the
next Application for Payment by (b) the share of the Guaranteed Maximum Price
allocated to that portion of the Work in the schedule of values.

7.1.7 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 Guaranteed Maximum Price properly allocable to
        completed Work as determined by multiplying the percentage completion
        of each portion of the Work by the share of the Guaranteed Maximum Price
        allocated to that portion of the Work in the schedule of values. Pending
        final determination of cost to the Owner of changes in the Work, amounts
        not in dispute may be included as provided in Subparagraph 7.3.7 of AIA
        Document A201, even though the Guaranteed Maximum Price has not yet
        been adjusted by Change Order.

     .2 Add that portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Price properly allocable to
        materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for
        subsequent incorporation in the Work or, if approved in advance by the
        Owner, suitably stored off the site at a location agreed upon in
        writing.

     .3 Add the Construction Manager's Fee, less retainage of five percent (5%).
        The Construction Manager's Fee shall be computed upon the Cost of the
        Work described in the two preceding Clauses at the rate stated in
        Subparagraph 5.1.1 or, if the Construction Manager's Fee is stated as a
        fixed sum in that Subparagraph, shall be an amount which bears the same
        ratio to that fixed-sum Fee as the Cost of the Work in the two preceding
        Clauses bears to a reasonable estimate of the probable Cost of the Work
        upon its completion.

     .4 Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner.

     .5 Subtract the shortfall, if any, indicated by the Construction Manager in
        the documentation required by Subparagraph 7.1.4 to substantiate prior
        Applications for Payment, or resulting from errors subsequently
        discovered by the Owner's accountants in such documentation.

     .6 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.

7.1.8 Except with the Owner's prior approval, payments to Subcontractors shall
be subject to retention of not less than five percent (5%). The Owner and the
Construction Manager shall agree upon a mutually acceptable procedure for review
and approval of payments and retention for subcontracts.

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

7.1.10 In taking action on the Construction Manager's Applications for Payment,
the Architect shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of the
information furnished by the Construction Manager and shall not be deemed to
represent that the Architect has made a detailed examination, audit or
arithmetic verification of the documentation submitted in accordance with
Subparagraph 7.1.4 or other supporting data; that the Architect has made
exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections or that the Architect has made
examinations to ascertain how or for what purposes the Construction Manager has
used amounts previously paid on account of the Contract. Such examinations,
audits and verifications, if required by the Owner, will be performed by the
Owner's accountants acting in the sole interest of the Owner.

7.2      FINAL PAYMENT

7.2.1 Final payment shall be made by the Owner to the Construction Manager when
j(1) the Contract has been fully performed by the Construction Manager except
for the Construction Manager's responsibility to correct nonconforming Work, as
provided in Subparagraph 12.2.2 of AIA Document A201, and to satisfy other
requirements, if any, which necessarily survive final payment; (2) a final
Application for Payment and final accounting for the Cost of the Work have been
submitted by the Construction Manager and reviewed by the Owner's accountants;
and (3) a final Certificate for Payment has then been issued by the Architect;
such final payment shall be made by the Owner not more than 30 days after the
issuance of the Architect's final Certificate for Payment, or as follows:

7.2.2 The amount of the final payment shall be calculated as follows:

     .1   Take the sum of the Cost of the Work substantiated by the Construction
          Manager's final accounting and the Construction Manager's Fee; but not
          more than the Guaranteed Maximum Price.

     .2   Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Architect withholds, in whole
          or in part, a final Certificate for Payment as provided in
          Subparagraph 9.5.1 of AIA Document A201 or other provisions of the
          Contract Documents.

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

If the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner exceeds the amount due
the Construction Manager, the Construction Manager shall reimburse the
difference to the Owner.

7.2.3 The Owner's accountants will review and report in writing on the
Construction Manager's final accounting within 30 days after delivery of the
final accounting to the Architect by the Construction Manager. Based upon such
Cost of the Work as the Owner's accountants report to be substantiated by the
Construction Manager's final accounting, and provided the other conditions of
Subparagraph 7.2.1 have been met, the Architect will, within seven days after
receipt of the written report of the Owner's accountants, either issue to the
Owner a final Certificate for Payment with a copy to the Construction Manager,
or notify the Construction Manager and Owner in writing of the Architect's
reasons for withholding a certificate as provided in Subparagraph 9.5.1 of AIA
Document A201. The time periods stated in this Paragraph 7.2 supersede those
stated in Subparagraph 9.4.1 of AIA Document A201.

7.2.4 If the Owner's accountants report the Cost of the Work as substantiated by
the Construction Manager's final accounting to be less than claimed by the
Construction Manager, the Construction Manager shall be entitled to proceed in
accordance with Article 9 without a further decision of the Architect. Unless
agreed to otherwise, a demand for mediation or arbitration of the disputed
amount shall be made by the Construction Manager within 60 days after the
Construction Manager's receipt of a copy of the Architect's final Certificate
for Payment. Failure to make such demand within this 60-day period shall result
in the substantiated amount reported by the Owner's accountant becoming binding
on the Construction Manager. Pending a final resolution of the disputed amount,
the Owner shall pay the Construction Manager the amount certified in the
Architect's final Certificate for Payment.

7.2.5 If, subsequent to final payment and at the Owner's request, the
Construction Manager incurs costs described in Paragraph 6.1 and not excluded by
Paragraph 6.2 (1) to correct nonconforming Work, or (2) arising from the
resolution of disputes, the Owner shall reimburse the Construction Manager such
costs and the Construction Manager's Fee, if any, related thereto on the same
basis as if such costs had been incurred prior to final payment, but not in
excess of the Guaranteed Maximum Price. If the Construction Manager has
participated in savings, the amount of such savings shall be recalculated and
appropriate credit given to the Owner in determining the net amount to be paid
by the Owner to the Construction Manager.

9.3  OTHER PROVISIONS

Conditions of the Contract for Construction.

9.3.2     EXTENT OF CONTRACT

This Contract, which includes this Agreement and the other documents
incorporated herein by reference, represents the entire and integrated
agreement between the Owner and Construction Manager and supersedes all prior
negotiations, representations or agreements, either written or oral. This
Agreement may be amended only by written instrument signed by both the Owner
and Construction Manager. If anything in any document incorporated in this
Agreement is inconsistent with this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.

9.3.3     OWNERSHIP AND USE OF DOCUMENTS

The Drawings, Specifications and other documents prepared by the Architect, and
copies thereof furnished to the Construction Manager, are for use solely with
respect to this Project. They are not to be used by the Construction Manager,
Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors or suppliers on other projects, or for
additions to this Project outside the scope of the Work, without the specific
written consent of the Owner and Architect. The Construction Manager,
Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors and suppliers are granted a limited license
to use and reproduce applicable portions of the Drawings, Specifications and
other documents prepared by the Architect appropriate to and for use in the

9.3.5     ASSIGNMENT

The Owner and Construction Manager respectively bind themselves, their partners,
successors, assigns and legal representatives to the other party hereto and to
partners, successors, assigns and legal representatives of such other party in
respect to covenants, agreements and obligations contained in the Contract

without written consent of the other. If either party attempts to make such an
assignment without such consent, that party shall nevertheless remain legally
responsible for all obligations under the Contract.

                                   ARTICLE 10
                           TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION

10.1      TERMINATION PRIOR TO ESTABLISHING GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE

10.1.1 Prior to execution by both parties of Amendment No. 1 establishing the
Guaranteed Maximum Price, the Owner may terminate this Contract at any time
without cause, and the Construction Manager may terminate this Contract for any
of the reasons described in Subparagraph 14.1.1 of AIA Document A201.

10.1.2 If the Owner or Construction Manager terminates this Contract pursuant to
this Paragraph 10.1 prior to commencement of the Construction Phase, the
Construction Manager shall be equitably compensated for Preconstruction Phase
services performed prior to receipt of notice of termination; provided, however,
that the compensation for such services shall not exceed the compensation set
forth in Subparagraph 4.1.1.

10.1.3 If the Owner or Construction Manager terminates this Contract pursuant to
this Paragraph 10.1 after commencement of the Construction Phase, the
Construction Manager shall, in addition to the compensation provided in
Subparagraph 10.1.2, be paid an amount calculated as follows:

     .1   Take the Cost of the Work incurred by the Construction Manager.

     .2   Add the Construction Manager's Fee computed upon the Cost of the Work
          to the date of termination at the rate stated in Paragraph 5.1 or, if
          the Construction Manager's Fee is stated as a fixed sum in that
          Paragraph, an amount which bears that same ratio to that fixed-sum Fee
          as the Cost of Work at the time of termination bears to a reasonable
          estimate of the probable Cost of the Work upon its completion.

     .3   Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner on
          account of the Construction Phase.

The Owner shall also pay the Construction Manager fair compensation, either by
purchase or rental at the election of the Owner, for any equipment owned by the
Construction Manager which the Owner elects to retain and which is not otherwise
included in the Cost of the Work under Clause 10.1.3.1. To the extent that the
Owner elects to take legal assignment of subcontracts and purchase orders
(including rental agreements), the Construction Manager shall, as a condition of
receiving the payments referred to in this Article 10, execute and deliver all
such papers and take all such steps, including the legal assignment of such
subcontracts and other contractual rights of the Construction Manager, as the
Owner may require for the purpose of fully vesting in the Owner the rights and
benefits of the Construction Manager under such subcontracts or purchase orders.

Subcontracts, purchase orders and rental agreements entered into by the
Construction Manager with the Owner's written approval prior to the execution
of Amendment No. 1 shall contain provisions permitting assignment to the Owner
as described above. If the Owner accepts such assignment, the Owner shall
reimburse or indemnify the Construction Manager with respect to all costs
arising under the subcontract, purchase order or rental agreement except those
which would not have been reimbursable as Cost of the Work if the contract had
not been terminated. If the Owner elects not to accept the assignment of any
subcontract, purchase order or rental agreement which would have constituted a
Cost of the Work had this agreement not been terminated, the Con-

Construction Manager's Fee shall be calculated as if the Work had been fully
completed by the Construction Manager, including a reasonable estimate of the
Cost of the Work for Work not actually completed.

10.3      SUSPENSION

The Work may be suspended by the Owner as provided in Article 14 of AIA
Document A201; in such case, the Guaranteed Maximum Price, if established,
shall be increased as provided in Subparagraph 14.3.2 of AIA Document A201
except that the term "cost of performance of the Contract" in that Subparagraph

                             DISBURSEMENT AGREEMENT

This Agreement dated this 7th date of November, 2000, by and between Mercantile
Bank of West Michigan, hereinafter referred to as "Mercantile", and C.D. Barnes
Associates, Inc., a Michigan corporation, hereinafter referred to as
"Contractor" and Transnation Title Insurance Company, an Arizona corporation,
hereinafter referred to as "Trans".

WHEREAS, Mercantile is the owner of certain property described as:

(SEE ATTACHED)

WHEREAS, Mercantile and Contractor and Concept Design Group, Inc., hereinafter
referred to as "Architect", have entered into a certain Construction Contract
dated October 23, 2000, wherein Mercantile had obligated itself to construct a
Building in accordance with the plans and specifications per said Construction
Contract, and:

WHEREAS, Mercantile desires to utilize the staff and expertise of Trans in the
disbursement of construction draws:

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and promises contained
in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

     I.   This Agreement shall in no way be construed to modify the rights
          and/or obligations of the parties to a certain Construction Contract
          among Mercantile, Contractor and Architect dated October 28, 2000, and
          any amendments thereto (hereinafter referred to as the "said
          Contract").

     II.  This Agreement shall in no way be construed to obligate Trans to
          insure, and Trans will not insure, against unrecorded Construction
          Liens, or to obligate Trans to insure, and Trans will not insure,
          completion of the improvements or that such improvements conform with
          the plans and specifications.

     III. Trans shall administer the construction draws subject to, and
          conditioned upon, compliance by the parties hereto with the following
          procedures:

          A.   From time to time, within the sole discretion of Mercantile,
               Mercantile shall make advances of construction proceeds pursuant
               to the terms of said Contract and Trans shall disburse such
               advances only upon and after receipt of a Sworn Statement and
               Waivers of Lien relative hereto.

          B.   Trans shall not make any such advances until and unless Trans
               receives the Sworn Statement(s) and corresponding Waivers of Lien
               for those parties shown on the Sworn Statement and Trans examines
               the title and such examination discloses no defects in title
               arising subsequent to the date of the prior draw.

   33
    C. Trans shall, upon disbursement of such advances received from Mercantile,
       issue its endorsement to the Owner's Title Insurance Policy which will be
       issued by Trans under Commitment Number 268500C insuring Mercantile for
       the amount of that disbursement and the total amount of all previous
       disbursements.

    D. Trans shall be responsible for the completeness of the Sworn Statement(s)
       and the Waivers of Lien submitted in connection with said Sworn
       Statement(s) in that Trans shall assure that said Sworn Statement(s) and
       Waivers of Lien supply the information required by the respective forms
       themselves. Trans shall not be liable for the validity, authenticity, and
       accuracy of the Sworn Statement(s) and Waivers of Lien, which it accepts,
       nor shall it be liable for any loss(es) resulting from fraud of forgery.
       Relative to the Sworn Statement(s), Trans shall not be liable should said
       Sworn Statement(s) fail to disclose any parties who should, in fact, be
       listed thereon, except to the extent Trans is notified in writing of the
       existence of said parties by either Mercantile or any subcontractor,
       laborer, or supplier, in which case Trans shall require a Waiver of Lien
       from each of said parties.

IV. Trans shall not accept any change orders or make disbursements on any change
    orders, unless such change orders are in writing and approved in writing by
    Mercantile.

V.  If any advances to Trans remain undisbursed for ten (10) days after such
    advances are made by Mercantile, Trans shall notify Mercantile of such
    undisbursed advances and shall return such advances to Mercantile upon
    written request.

VI. Trans will receive a fee from Mercantile for performing its obligations
    under this Agreement, and such fee shall be in addition to the premium
    charged for the Owner's Policy to be issued by Trans under Commitment Number
    268500C.

IN WITNESS THEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of this
date first above written.
