RECITALS:
WHEREAS, CLIENT intends to have MTI Perform Special Inspection and testing in accordance with the Proposal (Exhibit "A") for

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual covenants, CLIENT and CONSULTANT herein agree, in respect of the performance of
professional materials testing and construction inspection services by CONSU!TANT and the payment for those services by CLIENT, as set
forth below.

hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth. Any estimated quantities contained in Exhibit "A" are
estimates only and CLIENT agrees that CONSULTANT is entitled to payment for reasonable services rendered in excess of the
estimated quantities and/or cost figures as described in Exhibit "A".
II. PAYMENTS TO CONSULTANT. CLIENT shall pay CONSULTANT for the services rendered hereunder in accordance with the fee and
payment schedule attached hereto as Exhibit "A". CONSULTANT shall submit monthly statements for services rendered and for

otherwise specified in this Agreement. If CLIENT fails to pay CONSULTANT within thirty (30) days after receipt of monthly statements
for services rendered and for reimbursable expenses incurred, CLIENT agrees to pay one percent (1%) interest per month until the
monthly statements are paid in full. CLIENT further agrees that nonpayment of monthly statements beyond aseventy-five (75) day
period constitutes a material breech of this Agreement with the exception of reasonably disputed amounts that upon written notice from
CONSULTANT, the duty, obligations and responsibilities of CONSULTANT under this Agreement are terminated. In such event CLIENT
shall promptly pay CONSULTANT for all fees, charges and services as outlined in Exhibit "A" provided by CONSULTANT up to the date
of termination.
III. SERVICES. CONSULTANT will act for CLIENT in a professional manner, using that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised by and
consistent with the standards of the professional practicing in the same or similar locality of the Project site. CONSULTANT makes no
warranty, either expressed or implied, as to its findings, recommendations, specifications or professional advice. CONSULTANT will
provide only those services that, in the option of CONSULTANT, lie within the technical and professional areas of expertise of
CONSULTANT as set forth in Exhibit "A" and which CONSULTANT is adequately staffed and equipped to perform. CLIENT shall
request in writing if CLIENT desires CONSULTANT to provide services outside of the scope of services described in Exhibit "A",
attached hereto. CONSULTANT shall advise CLIENT in writing of any services that lie outside the technical and professional expertise
of CONSULTANT.
IV. SAMPLE DISPOSAL. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, samples removed from Project site by Consultant to its laboratory will,
upon completion of testing, be disposed by CONSULTANT. CLIENT further agrees the cost for disposal of Hazardous Materials to
include the characterization costs shall be borne by CLIENT.

updated plans, specifications, addenda, change orders, approved shop drawings and any other information for the proper performance
of CONSULTANT pursuant to this Agreement. CONSULTANT shall not be responsible for any errors and/or omissions in the

CONSULTANT.. (CLIENT will arrange and provide access to each area in which it will be necessary for CONSULTANT to perform its
work).

may arise from the performance of services under this Agreement. In addition, CONSULTANT shall secure and maintain throughout the
full period of Agreement sufficient Professional Liability insurance to protect it adequately from claims arising from errors or omissions

contractors harmless from any and all claims, suits or liability for personal injury, death, illness, property damage, damage to natural
