Certificate of Merit The CLIENT shall make no claim for professional negligence, either directly or in a third party claim, against SEC unless the CLIENT has first provided SEC with a written certification executed by an independent design professional currently practicing in the same discipline as SEC and licensed in the State of Illinois. This certification shall: a) contain the name and license j number of the certifier; b) specify each and every act or omission that the certifier contends is a violation of the standard of care expected of a Design Professional performing professional services under similar circumstances; and c) state in complete detail the basis for the certifier's opinion that each such act or omission constitutes such a violation.

Standard of Care Services provided by SEC under this AGREEMENT will be performed in a manner consistent with that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the same profession currently practicing under similar circumstances.

Mr. Travis Miller United City of Yorkville Yorkville Integrated Transportation Plan SEC Job No. YORK- 080389 July 17, 2008 Page 10 of 13 Reuse of Documents All project documents including, but not limited to, plans and specifications furnished by SEC under this project are intended for use on this project only. Any reuse, without specific written verification or adoption by SEC, shall be at the CLIENT's sole risk, and CLIENT shall indemnify and hold harmless SEC from all claims, damages and expenses including attorney's fees arising out of or resulting therefrom. Ownership of Instruments of Service All reports, plans, specifications, field data, field notes, laboratory test data, calculations, estimates and other documents including all documents on electronic media prepared by SEC as instruments of service shall remain the property of SEC. SEC shall retain these records for a period of five (5) years following completion/submission of the records, during which period they will be made available to the CLIENT at all reasonable times. Failure to Abide by Design Documents or to Obtain Guidance The CLIENT agrees that it would be unfair to hold SEC liable for problems that might occur should SEC'S plans, specifications or design intents not be followed, or for problems resulting from others' failure to obtain and/or follow SEC'S guidance with respect to any errors, omissions, inconsistencies, ambiguities or conflicts which are detected or alleged to exist in or as a consequence of implementing SEC'S plans, specifications or other instruments of service. Accordingly, the CLIENT waives any claim against SEC, and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold SEC harmless from any claim for injury or losses that results from ! failure to follow SEC'S plans, specifications or design intent, or for failure to obtain and /or follow SEC'S guidance with respect to any alleged errors, omissions, inconsistencies, ambiguities or conflicts contained within or arising as a result of implementing I SEC'S plans, specifications or other instruments of services. The CLIENT also agrees to compensate SEC for any time spent and expenses incurred by SEC'S prevailing fee schedule and expense reimbursement policy. Opinion of Probable Construction Cost SEC shall submit to the CLIENT an opinion of probable cost required to construct work recommended, designed, or specified by SEC. SEC is not a construction cost estimator or construction contractor, nor should SEC'S rendering an opinion of probable construction costs be considered equivalent to the nature and extent of service a construction cost estimator or construction contractor would provide. SEC'S opinion will be based solely upon his or her own experience with construction. This requires SEC to make a number of assumptions as to actual conditions that will be encountered on site; the specific decisions of other design professionals engaged; the means and methods of construction the contractor will employ; the cost and extent of labor, equipment and materials the contractor will employ; contractor's techniques in determining prices and market conditions at the time, and other factors over which SEC has no control. Given the assumptions which must be made, SEC cannot guarantee the accuracy of his or her opinions of cost, and in recognition of that fact, the CLIENT waives any claim against SEC relative to the accuracy of SEC'S opinion of probable construction cost. Design Information in Electronic Form Because electronic file information can be easily altered, corrupted, or modified by other parties, either intentionally or inadvertently, without notice or indication, SEC reserves the right to remove itself from of its ownership and /or involvement in the material from each electronic medium not held in its possession. CLIENT shall retain copies of the work performed by SEC in electronic form only for information and use by CLIENT for the specific purpose for which SEC was engaged. Said material shall not be used by CLIENT or transferred to any other party, for use in other projects, additions to this project, or any other purpose for which the material was not strictly intended by SEC without SEC's expressed written permission. Any unauthorized use or reuse or modifications of this material shall be at CLIENT'S sole risk. Furthermore, the CLIENT agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold SEC harmless from all claims, injuries, damages, losses, expenses, and attorney's fees arising out of the modification or reuse of these materials. The CLIENT recognizes that designs, plans, and data stored on electronic media including, but not limited to computer disk, magnetic tape, or files transferred via email, may be subject to undetectable alteration and /or uncontrollable deterioration. The CLIENT, therefore, agrees that SEC shall not be liable for the completeness or accuracy of any materials provided on electronic Mr. Travis Miller United City of Yorkville Yorkville Integrated Transportation Plan SEC Job No. YORK- 080389 July 17, 2008 Page 11 of 13 media after a 30 day inspection period, during which time SEC shall correct any errors detected by the CLIENT to complete the design in accordance with the intent of the contract and specifications. After 40 days, at the request of the CLIENT, SEC shall submit a final set of sealed drawings, and any additional services to be performed by SEC relative to the submitted electronic materials shall be subject to separate AGREEMENT. Dispute Resolution In an effort to resolve any conflicts that arise during the design or construction of the project or following the completion of the project, the Consultant and CLIENT agree that all disputes between them arising out of or relating to this AGREEMENT shall be P g g submitted to nonbinding ediation unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. g P Y g Limitation of Liability The CLIENT agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to limit the liability of SEC and its subconsultants to the CLIENT for any and all claims, losses, costs, damages of any nature whatsoever or claims expenses from any cause or causes, including attorneys' fees and costs and expert witness fees and costs, so that the total aggregate liability of SEC and its subconsultants to all those named shall not exceed SEC'S total fee for services rendered on this project. It is intended that this limitation apply to any and all liability or cause of action however alleged or arising, unless otherwise prohibited by law. Hazardous Materials It is acknowledged by both parties that SEC'S scope of services does not include any services related to asbestos or hazardous or toxic materials. In the event SEC or any other party encounters asbestos or hazardous or toxic materials at the job site, or should it become known in any way that such materials may be present at the job site or any adjacent areas that may affect the performance of SEC'S services, SEC may, at its option and without liability for consequential or any other damages, suspend performance of services on the project until the CLIENT retains appropriate specialist consultant(s) or contractor(s) to identify, abate and /or remove the asbestos or hazardous or toxic materials, and warrant that the job site is in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Exclusion This fee does not include attendance at any meetings or public hearings other than those specifically listed in the Scope of Services. These work items are considered extra and are billed separately on an hourly basis. Payment a. SEC shall invoice Client monthly for services rendered under the Contract. Client's obligation to make its payment to SEC shall be within 30 days of the invoice.
