Agreement without cause pursuant to Section 7.8.

party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. City's
consent or approval of any act by Consultant requiring City's consent or approval shall not be
deemed to waive or render unnecessary City's consent to or approval of any subsequent act of
Consultant. 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.

rendered prior to receipt of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the
Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may
be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3.

to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of
Section 7.2, take over work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise,
and Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services
