<br />of the termination including, but not limited to, the amounts provided in Section 3 above and any expected
<br />profits.
<br />
<br />8.3 If Client terminates this Agreement, with or without cause, before SCJ completes all of the Work, SCJ shall
<br />have the right to complete such services, analysis, and records, within its sole discretion, as are necessary
<br />to place SCJ’s files in order and to complete a report on the services performed pursuant to this Agreement
<br />(“Project Closeout”). The time expended and expenses incurred by SCJ in carrying out the Project Closeout

<br />property or personal injury or death) related in any way to SCJ’s performance or nonperformance under this
<br />Agreement shall be limited to the total Compensation in Section 3 above or one hundred thousand dollars

<br />harmless Client from Claims based solely upon the negligence of Client, its agents, officers or employees.
<br />
<br />11.2 Client shall indemnify and hold harmless SCJ, its officers, directors, shareholders, and employees, from all
