<br /> persons or entities(including those who are to furnish materials or equipment fabricated to a special design)
<br /> proposed for each principal portion of the Work.The Architect may reply within 14 days to the Contractor in

<br /> Contractor has made reasonable objection.

<br /> rejected Subcontractor was reasonably capable of performing the Work,the Contract Sum and Contract Time shall
<br /> be increased or decreased by the difference,if any,occasioned by such change,and an appropriate Change Order
<br /> shall be issued before commencement of the substitute Subcontractor's Work.However,no increase in the Contract

<br /> terms of the Contract Documents,and to assume toward the Contractor all the obligations and responsibilities,
<br /> including the responsibility for safety of the Subcontractor's Work,which the Contractor,by these Documents,
<br /> assumes toward the Owner and Architect.Each subcontract agreement shall preserve and protect the rights of the
<br /> Owner and Architect under the Contract Documents with respect to the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor
<br /> so that subcontracting thereof will not prejudice such rights,and shall allow to the Subcontractor,unless specifically
<br /> provided otherwise in the subcontract agreement,the benefit of all rights,remedies and redress against the
<br /> Contractor that the Contractor,by the Contract Documents,has against the Owner.Where appropriate,the
<br /> Contractor shall require each Subcontractor to enter into similar agreements with Sub-subcontractors.The

<br /> copies of the Contract Documents to which the Subcontractor will be bound,and,upon written request of the
<br /> Subcontractor,identify to the Subcontractor terms and conditions of the proposed subcontract agreement that may
