§ 5.1 [Intentionally deleted.]

consecutive days, the Architect shall be compensated for services performed prior to notice of such suspension
provided compensation is otherwise due under this Agreement. When the Project is resumed, the Architect shall be
compensated for reasonable and unavoidable expenses incurred in the interruption and resumption of the Architect’s
services. The Architect’s fees for the remaining services and the Schedule shall be equitably adjusted.

§ 5.3 If the Owner suspends the Project for more than 180 cumulative days for reasons other than the fault of the
Architect, the Architect may terminate this Agreement by giving not less than seven days’ written notice.

determination shall be made by Owner of the total amount Architect would have been entitled to
receive for the Work, under the terms of the Agreement, had Architect completed the Work. If the
expense incurred by Owner exceeds the unpaid balance, the amount of the excess shall be paid to
Owner by Architect. If the expense incurred by Owner is less than the unpaid balance, Architect shall
be paid for services rendered prior to termination up to the amount of the difference between the
unpaid balance and Owner’s completion costs. If Architect does not agree with Owner’s
determination, Architect may bring a claim pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions herein. In no
event shall Architect be entitled to Termination Expenses or compensation of any kind, including, but
not limited to, profit, markup or overhead for unperformed services, or for alleged damages to
reputation, for interference with contractual relations, or for consequential damages on this or other
projects.

.2 If Owner’s termination for cause is determined through legal proceedings to be unjustified, then the
termination for cause shall automatically convert to a termination for convenience, in which case
Architect’s damages will be as provided in Clauses 5.6 and 5.7.

§ 5.5 The Owner may terminate this Agreement upon not less than seven days’ written notice to the Architect for the
Owner’s convenience and without cause.

§ 5.6 In the event of termination for convenience, the Architect shall be compensated for services performed prior to
termination, together with Reimbursable Expenses then due and all Termination Expenses as defined in Section 5.7,
subject to any offsets, deductions or withholdings by Owner for damages caused or anticipated to be caused by
Architect.

§ 5.7 Termination Expenses are in addition to compensation for the Architect’s services and include reasonable and
unavoidable expenses directly attributable to termination for which the Architect is not otherwise compensated.
Architect shall in no case be entitled to compensation, including, but not limited to profit, markup or overhead for

limited to, those which relate to personal or real property damage (including to the Project itself or otherwise),
personal injury or death, attorney and expert/consultant fees and costs, and both economic and non-economic losses,

improper conduct of Architect, its employees, consultants, or anyone for whose acts Architect is responsible.
Payment to a third party by an Indemnified Party shall not be a condition precedent to enforcing such party’s rights

(or Architect’s performance thereof) and until such time as action against the Indemnified Parties on account of any
matter covered by this Subparagraph is barred by the applicable period of limitations. If claims are asserted against
any Indemnified Party by an employee of the Architect, a consultant, anyone directly or indirectly employed by
them, or anyone for whose acts they may be liable, the Architect’s indemnification obligation and other obligations
under this section shall not be limited by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation, or benefits
payable to the employee by or for the Architect or consultant under workers’ compensation acts, disability benefit
acts, or other employee benefit acts.

§ 7.12 Survival of Terms. All obligations created by this Agreement survive suspension or termination of the
Agreement and completion of the Project; provided, however, that the obligations to perform the Work or pay for
the Work shall not apply to the extent all or any portion of the Work is terminated. Provisions which expressly
survive suspension, termination or completion include, but are not limited to, those relating to warranties,
guaranties, indemnity, insurance, and dispute resolution.

even if such terms and conditions are attached as an exhibit or otherwise. Any inconsistency between this
