assume toward the CONSULTANT all the obligations and responsibilities which the
CONSULTANT, by this Agreement, assumes toward the OWNER. Each sub-consultant or
subcontract agreement shall preserve and protect the rights of the OWNER under this
Agreement with respect to the Services to be performed by the sub-consultant or subcontractor

appropriate, the CONSULTANT shall require each sub-consultant or subcontractor to enter into
similar agreements with its sub-sub-consultants or sub-subcontractors.

this Agreement or otherwise related to the Project, and except those previously made in writing
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and identified by CONSULTANT as unsettled at
the time of the final payment. Neither the acceptance of CONSULTANT'S services nor payment
by OWNER shall be deemed to be a waiver of any of OWNER'S rights against CONSULTANT.
ARTICLE TWELVE
TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION
12.1. CONSULTANT shall be considered in material default of this Agreement and such default
will be considered cause for OWNER to terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, as further

conditions of this Agreement, or (f) for any other just cause. The OWNER may so terminate this
Agreement, in whole or in part, by giving the CONSULTANT seven (7) calendar days written
notice of the material default.
12.2. If, after notice of termination of this Agreement as provided for in paragraph 12.1 above, it
is determined for any reason that CONSULTANT was not in default, or that its default was
excusable, or that OWNER otherwise was not entitled to the remedy against CONSULTANT
provided for in paragraph 12.1, then the notice of termination given pursuant to paragraph 12.1
shall be deemed to be the notice of termination provided for in paragraph 12.3, below, and
CONSULTANT's remedies against OWNER shall be the same as and be limited to those
afforded CONSULTANT under paragraph 12.3, below.
12.3. OWNER shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, without
cause upon seven (7) calendar days written notice to CONSULTANT. In the event of such
termination for convenience, CONSULTANT'S recovery against OWNER shall be limited to that

and any costs reasonably incurred by CONSULTANT that are directly attributable to the
termination, but CONSULTANT shall not be entitled to any other or further recovery against
OWNER, including, but not limited to, anticipated fees or profits on work not required to be
performed. CONSULTANT must mitigate all such costs to the greatest extent reasonably
possible.
12.4. Upon termination and as directed by Owner, the CONSULTANT shall deliver to the
OWNER all original papers, records, documents, drawings, models, and other material set forth
and described in this Agreement, including those described in Section 6, that are in

provided by CONSULTANT hereunder upon giving CONSULTANT two (2) calendar days prior
written notice of such suspension. If all or any portion of the services to be rendered hereunder
are so suspended, the CONSULTANT'S sole and exclusive remedy shall be to seek an
extension of time to its schedule in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article Four
herein.
12.6 In the event (i) OWNER fails to make any undisputed payment to CONSULTANT within
forty-five (45) days after such payment is due or such other time as required by Florida's Prompt
Payment Act or (ii) OWNER otherwise persistently fails to fulfill some material obligation owed
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
and twenty (120) consecutive days through no act or fault of the CONSULTANT or its sub-
consultant or subcontractor or their agents or employees or any other persons performing
portions of the Services under contract with the CONSULTANT, the CONSULTANT may
terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to OWNER of CONSULTANT'S intent to
terminate this Agreement. If OWNER does not cure its default within fourteen (14) days after
receipt of CONSULTANT'S written notice, CONSULTANT may, upon fourteen (14) additional
days' written notice to the OWNER, terminate the Agreement and recover from the Owner
payment for Services performed through the termination date, but in no event shall
CONSULTANT be entitled to payment for Services not performed or any other damages from
Owner.
