derived from such electronic files will be at the user's sole
risk.

OWNER are limited to the printed copies (also known as hard
copies) that are signed or sealed by the appropriate
professional. Files in electronic media format of text, data,
graphics, or of other types that are furnished by

from such electronic files will be at the user's sole risk.
D. Because data stored in electronic media format can
deteriorate or be modified inadvertently or otherwise without
authorization of the data's creator, the party receiving
electronic files agrees that it will perform acceptance tests or
procedures within 60 days, after which the receiving party
shall be deemed to have accepted the data thus transferred.
The party delivering the electronic files will correct any errors
detected within the 60 -day acceptance period.
CONSULTANT shall not be responsible to maintain
documents stored in electronic media format after acceptance
by OWNER.
E. When transferring documents in electronic media
format, CONSULTANT makes no representations as to long-
term compatibility, usability, or readability of documents

operating systems, or computer hardware differing from those
used by CONSULTANT at the beginning of this Project.
F. (Modified) Any use of the Documents on any
extension of the Project or on any other project shall be at
OWNER's sole risk and OWNER hereby releases
CONSULTANT from any liability associated solely with die
reuse of the Documents.
G. If there is a discrepancy between the electronic files
and the hard copies, the hard copies govern.
H. Any verification or adaptation of the Documents for
extensions of the Project or for any other project will entitle
CONSULTANT to further compensation at rates to be agreed
upon by OWNER and CONSULTANT.

of CONSULTANT, and if commercially available,
CONSULTANT shall obtain and shall require its Consultants
to obtain such additional insurance coverage, different limits,
or revised deductibles for such periods of time as requested by
OWNER, and Exhibit G will be supplemented to incorporate
these requirements.

and reactivation and the fact that the time for performance
under this Agreement has been revised, unless such delay or

actions after the Effective Date of the Agreement by any level
of government that impose taxes, fees, or costs on

this Project or compensation therefor, such new taxes, fees, or
costs shall be invoiced to and paid by OWNER as a

and qualified professional generally familiar with the industry.

of labor, materials, equipment, or services furnished by others,
or over the Contractor's methods of determining prices, or
over competitive bidding or market conditions,
CONSULTANT cannot and does not guarantee that
proposals, bids, or actual Construction Cost will not vary from
opinions of probable Construction Cost prepared by
CONSULTANT. If OWNER wishes greater assurance as to
probable Construction Cost, OWNER shall employ an
independent cost estimator as provided in Exhibit B.

CONSULTANT may rely upon, the accuracy and
completeness of all requirements, programs, instructions,

Acceptability of Work," or of any other notice or certification
that CONSULTANT will be requested to provide to OWNER

with Laws and Regulations applicable to Contractor's
furnishing and performing the Work.
J. (Modified) CONSULTANT neither guarantees the
performance of any Contractor nor assumes responsibility for
any Contractor's failure to furnish and perform the Work in

the exercise of CONSULTANT's services under this
Agreement.

for the acts or omissions of any Contractor(s), subcontractor

and/or repairs of the Project. As a condition to the OWNER's

all references to the CONSULTANT, and its consultants from
the Documents. The OWNER hereby releases any and all
claims which the OWNER could make arising out of or in

Paragraph 6.04.A shall be for the benefit of the
CONSULTANT, its officers, and employees and sub -
consultants, as well as their successors and assigns.
B. (Modified) Copies of OWNER -furnished data that
may be relied upon by CONSULTANT are limited to the
printed copies that are delivered to CONSULTANT pursuant
to Exhibit B unless otherwise expressly stated or
communicated by OWNER. Files in electronic media format
of text, data, graphics, or of other types that are furnished by
OWNER to CONSULTANT are only for convenience of
CONSULTANT. Any conclusion or information obtained or
derived from such electronic files will be at the user's sole
risk.
C. Copies of Documents that may be relied upon by
OWNER are limited to the printed copies (also known as hard
copies) that are signed or sealed by the appropriate
professional. Files in electronic media format of text, data,
graphics, or of other types that are furnished by

OWNER. Any conclusion or information obtained or derived
from such electronic files will be at the user's sole risk.
D. Because data stored in electronic media format can
deteriorate or be modified inadvertently or otherwise without
authorization of the data's creator, the party receiving
electronic files agrees that it will perform acceptance tests or
procedures within 60 days, after which the receiving party
shall be deemed to have accepted the data thus transferred.
The party delivering the electronic files will correct any errors
detected within the 60 -day acceptance period.
CONSULTANT shall not be responsible to maintain
documents stored in electronic media format after acceptance
by OWNER.
E. When transferring documents in electronic media
format, CONSULTANT makes no representations as to long-
term compatibility, usability, or readability of documents

operating systems, or computer hardware differing from those
used by CONSULTANT at the beginning of this Project.
F. (Modified) Any use of the Documents on any
extension of the Project or on any other project shall be at
OWNER's sole risk and OWNER hereby releases
CONSULTANT from any liability associated solely with the
reuse of the Documents.
G. If there is a discrepancy between the electronic files
and the hard copies, the hard copies govern.
H. Any verification or adaptation of the Documents for
extensions of the Project or for any other project will entitle
CONSULTANT to fiuther compensation at rates to be agreed

of CONSULTANT, and if commercially available,
CONSULTANT shall obtain and shall require its Consultants
to obtain such additional insurance coverage, different limits,
or revised deductibles for such periods of time as requested by
OWNER, and Exhibit G will be supplemented to incorporate
these requirements.

terminated:

receipt thereof-, provided, however, that if and to the
extent such substantial failure cannot be reasonably
cured within such 30 day period, and if such party

the contrary in any written consent to an assignment, no
assignment will release or discharge the assignor from any
duty or responsibility under this Agreement.

any surety for or employee of any of them.
2. All duties and responsibilities undertaken
pursuant to this Agreement will be for the sole and
exclusive benefit of OWNER and CONSULTANT and

the Site in connection with CONSULTANT's activities under
this Agreement.

void or unenforceable under any Laws or Regulations shall be
deemed stricken, and all remaining provisions shall continue

such stricken provision or part thereof with a valid and
enforceable provision that comes as close as possible to
expressing the intention of the stricken provision.
