2.3 Additional Services. City shall have the right at any time during the
performance of the services, without invalidating this Agreement, to order extra work beyond
that specified in the Scope of Services or make changes by altering, adding to or deducting from
said work. No such extra work may be undertaken unless a written order is first given by the
Contract Officer to the Consultant, incorporating therein any adjustment in (i) the Contract Sum
for the actual cost of the extra work, and/or (ii) the time to perform this Agreement, which said
adjustments are subject to the written approval of the Consultant. Any increase in compensation
of up to ten percent (10%) of the Contract Sum but not exceeding a total contract amount of Five
Thousand Dollars ($5,000) or in the time to perform of up to ninety (90) days may be approved
by the Contract Officer. Any greater increases, taken either separately or cumulatively, must be
approved by the City Council. No claim for an increase in the Contract Sum or time for

writing by the Contract Officer but not exceeding thirty(30) days cumulatively.

may be extended, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in

legal action under this Agreement.

Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party
of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or
different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the
other party.

termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for
termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or

this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days' written notice to City,

7

non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a
waiver. A party's consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the party's
