<br />2. For convenience, by Owner effective upon Engineer's receipt of written notice from
<br />Owner.
<br />B. The terminating party under Paragraph 3.01.A may set the effective date of termination at a time
<br />up to 30 days later than otherwise provided to allow Engineer to complete tasks whose value
<br />would otherwise be lost, to prepare notes as to the status of completed and uncompleted tasks, and
<br />to assemble Project materials in orderly files.
<br />C. In the event of any termination under Paragraph 3.01, Engineer will be entitled to invoice Owner
<br />and to receive full payment for all non-disputed services performed or furnished in accordance
<br />with this Agreement and all reimbursable expenses incurred through the effective date of
<br />termination.
<br />4.01 Successors, Assigns, and Beneficiaries
<br />A. Owner and Engineer are hereby bound and the successors, executors, administrators, and legal
<br />representatives of Owner and Engineer (and to the extent permitted by Paragraph 4.01.B the
<br />assigns of Owner and Engineer) are hereby bound to the other party to this Agreement and to the
<br />successors, executors, administrators, and legal representatives (and said assigns) of such other
<br />party, in respect of all covenants, agreements, and obligations of this Agreement.
<br />B. Neither Owner nor Engineer may assign, sublet, or transfer any rights under or interest (including,
<br />but without limitation, moneys that are due or may become due) in this Agreement without the
<br />written consent of the other, except to the extent that any assignment, subletting, or transfer is
<br />mandated or restricted by law. Unless specifically stated to the contrary in any written consent to
<br />an assignment, no assignment will release or discharge the assignor from any duty or responsibility
<br />under this Agreement.
<br />C. Unless expressly provided otherwise, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create,
<br />impose, or give rise to any duty owed by Owner or Engineer to any contractor, subcontractor,
<br />supplier, other individual or entity, or to any surety for or employee of any of them. All duties and
<br />responsibilities undertaken pursuant to this Agreement will be for the sole and exclusive benefit of
<br />Owner and Engineer and not for the benefit of any other party.
<br />5.01 General Considerations
<br />A. The standard of care for all professional engineering and related services performed or furnished
<br />by Engineer under this Agreement will be the care and skill ordinarily used by members of the
<br />subject profession practicing under similar circumstances at the same time and in the same locality.
<br />Engineer makes no warranties, express or implied, under this Agreement or otherwise, in
<br />connection with Engineer’s services. Subject to the foregoing standard of care, Engineer and its
<br />consultants may use or rely upon design elements and information ordinarily or customarily
<br />furnished by others, including, but not limited to, specialty contractors, manufacturers, suppliers,
<br />and the publishers of technical standards.
<br />B. Engineer shall not at any time supervise, direct, control, or have authority over any contractor's
<br />work, nor shall Engineer have authority over or be responsible for the means, methods, techniques,
<br />sequences, or procedures of construction selected or used by any contractor, or the safety
<br />precautions and programs incident thereto, for security or safety at the Project site, nor for any
