compensated largely on the basis of the time required in rendering these professional services--
not on the basis of potential legal liabilities created by any risks assodated from the hazardous
materials and ACM.

practiced by recognized professional firms in performing services of a similar nature, in the same
locality, under similar droumstances. R-K makes no other warranties or guarantees, expressed
or implied.

services. CLIENT represerrts that it possesses 8uthority for such right-of--entry and that the

to our personnel, all field work will cease and the CLIENT will be notified. Subsequent work on
the project will then be conducted only with spedfic additional authorization from the CLIENT
and will be charged at appropriate revised unit rates. The scope of worts and cost estimate do
not indude removal of any waste or cuttings from the site. Such materials will be containerized
and left at the site.

the site. The results of sample analyses or other information will be used to judge the nature of
materials teft an site. If this information Indicates the materials are hazardous or potentially

8. During its prime, asbestos was used in over 3,000 different products and can still be found in
