Project Milestone Schedule attached hereto and made a part hereof as Schedule C. Time is of
the essence with respect to the performance of this Agreement.

OWNER may be responsible in whole or in part, shall relieve CONSULTANT of its duty to
perform or give rise to any right to damages or additional compensation from OWNER.
CONSULTANT'S sole remedy against OWNER will be the right to seek an extension of time to
its schedule provided, however, the granting of any such time extension shall not be a condition
precedent to the aforementioned "No Damage For Delay" provision. This paragraph shall
expressly apply to claims for early completion, as well as claims based on late completion.
Provided, however, if through no fault or neglect of CONSULTANT, the services to be provided
hereunder have been delayed for a total of 180 calendar days, CONSULTANT'S compensation
shall be equitably adjusted, with respect to those services that have not yet been performed, to
reflect the incremental increase in costs experienced by CONSULTANT, if any, as a result of
such delays.
4.4 Should the CONSULTANT fail to commence, provide, perform or complete any of the
services to be provided hereunder in a timely manner, in addition to any other rights or remedies
available to the OWNER hereunder, the OWNER at its sole discretion and option may withhold
any and all payments due and owing to the CONSULTANT until such time as the
CONSULTANT resumes performance of its obligations hereunder in such a manner so as to
reasonably establish to the OWNER's satisfaction that the CONSULTANT'S performance is or
will shortly be back on schedule.
4.5 In no event shall any approval by OWNER authorizing CONSULTANT to continue

by OWNER to CONSULTANT under this Agreement, and (ii) OWNER has failed to cure such
default within fourteen (14) days of receiving written notice of same from CONSULTANT, then
CONSULTANT may stop its performance under this Agreement until such default is cured, after
giving OWNER a second fourteen (14) days written notice of CONSULTANT's intention to stop
performance under the Agreement. If the Services are so stopped for a period of one hundred
