relating to the services to be performed under this agreement after the date
of execution of this agreement, the increased or decreased cost of performance
of the services provided for in this agreement shall be reflected in an
appropriate modification of this agreement.
E. TERMINATION
(a) Either party may terminate this agreement, in whole or in part, in
writing, if the other party substantially fails to fulfill its obligations
under this agreement through no fault of the terminating party. However, no

any payment due to the Engineer at the time of termination may be adjusted to
the extent of any additional costs the Owner incurs because of the Engineer's
default. If the Engineer terminates for default or if the Owner terminates
for convenience, the equitable adjustment shall include a reasonable profit
for services or other work performed. The equitable adjustment for any
termination shall provide for payment to the Engineer for services rendered
and expenses incurred before the termination, in addition to termination
settlement costs the Engineer reasonably incurs relating to commitments which
