    3. Payment Terms. Client shall pay ___________________ according to its standardPayment Terms and Conditions, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit B.

    4. Schedule.4.1.

    Unless otherwise indicated on Exhibit A, the Services will require approximatelythree days for network setup, plus one full business day per operatory. Installation cannot begin

    4.2. ___________________ will endeavor to provide the services specified in thisagreement at the times specified in Exhibit A.. If a third party delay is foreseen to cause___________________ to incur cost to maintain the projects time line ___________________will notify the client and come to a mutually agreed solution. If the potential of a delay is knownby the client we ask the client bring it to ___________________s attention so that a solution can be found. All changes to the scope and cost will be handled through client approved change

    orders as defined in Section 2 of this agreement.

    Reason for this section:The underlining purpose for this section is to guard us both from unforeseen costs anddelays. So many time since we are at the end of the project all the previous delays rolldownhill and hit us. This causes us to sometimes pull extra people in or off other projectswhich can cost us. In turn it also can cost the client to have a project run over. In rarecases you have a contractor or project manager who is not proficient at communicationwith the other vendors. This can lead to panicked phone calls for us to come in on veryshort notice or off project calendar to get a part of the project scope done so the rest ofthe project can continue. We are just looking for the ability to have a dialog about thesepotential causes of expense and some protection against having to incur all the cost forsomeone elses delay.

    4.3. Unless otherwise indicated on Exhibit A, the Services will be performed duringregular business hours, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Any client request forweekend services may be, at ___________________s sole discretion: (i) provided at 150 percent of ___________________s standard rates described on Exhibit B, notwithstandingprovisions to the contrary in Exhibit A; or (ii) declined.
