Architect covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. 7.2 Disputes. In the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement, the injured party shall notify the injuring party, in writing, of its contentions by submitting a claim therefor. The injured party shall continue performing its obligations hereunder so long as the injuring party commences to cure such default within ten(10)days of service of such notice and completes the cure of such default within forty-five(45) days after service of the notice, or such longer period as may be permitted by the injured party; provided that if the default is an immediate dangerto the health, safety and general welfare, such immediate action may be necessary. Compliance with the provisions of this Section shall be a condition precedent to termination of this Agreement for cause and to any legal action, and such compliance shall not be a waiver of any party's right to take legal action in the event that the dispute is not cured, provided that nothing herein shall limit City's or the Architect's right to terminate this Agreement without cause pursuant to Section 7.8. 7.3 Retention of Funds. Architect hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Architect (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii)all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties,by reason of Architect's acts or omissions in performing orfailing to perform Architect's obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Architect, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due,without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Architect to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein. 7.4 Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non- defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. A party's consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the party's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the other party's consent to or approval of any subsequent act. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement. 7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement,the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not CATEMROE Agreement 04.23.03.wpd -8- preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times,of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party. 7.6 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. 7.7 Liquidated Damages. Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement,the Architect and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of Zero Dollars ($-0-) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder, as specified in the Schedule of Performance(Exhibit "D"). The City may withhold from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Architect any accrued liquidated damages. 7.8 Termination Prior to Expiration Of Term. This Section shall govern any termination of this Agreement except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at anytime, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days written notice to Architect, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Architect, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Architect reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty(60)days written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the period of notice maybe such shorter time as the Architect may determine. Upon receipt of any notice of termination,Architect shall immediately cease all services hereunder except as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Architect has initiated termination, the Architect shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Architect has initiated termination, the Architect shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2. 7.9 Termination for Default of Architect. If termination is due to the failure of the Architect to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Architect shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Architect for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated. 7.10 Attorneys' Fees. If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees. Attorney's fees shall include attorney's fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney's fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery CATEMME Agreement 04.23.03.wpd -g- and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation.

No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Architect, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to the Architect or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement. 8.2 Conflict of Interest. No officer or employee of the City shall have any financial interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement nor shall any such officer or employee participate in any decision relating to the Agreement which effects his financial interest or the financial interest of any corporation, partnership or association in which he is, directly or indirectly, interested, in violation of any State statute or regulation.
