4. TERMS AND CONDITIONS
A. ARCHITECT'S INSURANCE
Architect shall maintain the following insurance:
I. Professional liability insurance in the amount of$1,000,000 per
occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate with a deductible not to exceed $50,000
from the date of this Agreement until thirty-six (36) months after Final

I. The Architect's current hourly fee schedule is as follows:

D. FEE ADJUSTMENTS
Lump sum fees will be equitably adjusted if the scope and/or difficulty of the
Architects performance is substantially increased by changes in the Project's scope
or scheduling or by conditions neither foreseen nor reasonably foreseeable by the
Architect at the time that the fee was determined, or if the Project is placed on
hold for more than three (3) months or extended for reasons beyond the
Architect's control for more than twelve (12) months. The Architects hourly fee
schedule is adjusted periodically in light of market and economic conditions and
thus can change over the course of the Project; and hourly rate services are billed
at the rate current at the time of performance. Overtime costs necessitated by the
Clients express request for expedited service will be billed without markup.
E. INVOICING
The Client will be provided with monthly invoices for services rendered and costs
advanced. Each invoice shall be due and payable upon receipt, and delinquent thirty
(30) days after the invoice date. In the event of delinquency, the Architect may
suspend or terminate this Agreement and its related obligations with no liability
for so doing, and in addition, service charges will be assessed from the invoice date
at 1.5% per month or at the highest rate permitted by California law, whichever is
lower, with payments applied first to accrued interest. In light of the obvious
advantage of resolving questions and disputes regarding the Architect's billing
quickly and while recollections are fresh, the Client will notify the Architect of any
questions or dissatisfaction regarding any particular invoice within fifteen (15) days

the invoice and the invoice will be binding upon the Client.

throughout the duration of the Project; and because of the importance of a good
working relationship, either parry may terminate this Agreement by giving written

that the working relationship is less than satisfactory. In the event that this
Agreement is for any reason terminated, the Client shall compensate the Architect
