Hazardous Materials Survey Report UES Project No. A25144.00721.000 Town of Century Gym Structure: Pre-Demolition Century, Escambia County, Florida September 12, 2025

1.0 INTRODUCTION

UES conducted a pre-demolition Hazardous Materials Survey on the subject building (gym) located in Century, Escambia County, Florida . The purpose of this survey was to identify hazards and provide information regarding the identity, location, and condition in anticipation of a demolition of the subject building.

1.1 Special Terms and Conditions

This report, and the information contained herein, shall be the sole property of UES until payment of any unpaid balance is made in full, Municipal Engineering Services (client), agrees that until payment is made in full, the User shall not have a proprietary interest in this report, or the information contained herein.

UES shall have the absolute right to request the return of any and all copies of this report submitted to other parties, public or private, on behalf of the client in the event of nonpayment of outstanding fees by the UES GC’s that govern this assessment.

This service was conducted based on the written authorization of Municipal Engineering Services, dated July 1, 2025. This survey was conducted in accordance with the UES GC’s, which are incorporated into the Client authorized agreement that governs this survey. A copy of the General Conditions is presented in Appendix A.

1.1 Limitations and Exclusions

This report is not intended to be used as a specification or work plan. The indicated material quantities of are estimates based on UES’s field observations on the date(s) of the inspection(s) and should be considered preliminary in nature. All parties utilizing this report for proposal, estimation or contract negotiations are required to field-verify the quantities of material prior to submission of proposal.

These estimates should not be used for bidding purposes without verification by the contractor. The contractor should ascertain for themselves, by site measurements and inspection, the exact nature and extent of the work to be done.

Extensive destructive sampling methods were not used, and exploratory demolition of walls and/or removal of fixed items were not conducted. No attempt was made by UES to observe conditions in spaces not generally accessible, including but not limited to crawlspaces, pipe chases, plenums, or confined spaces. Some materials may be hidden or masked by overlying materials such as flooring, carpeting, or concealed walls.

Although every effort is made to locate all suspected Hazardous Materials, it is impossible to rule out the possibility that undiscovered hazardous materials may be present. It is recommended that the people carrying out the work are made aware of this and take sufficient precautions, as may be appropriate, to ensure the health and safety of their own employees and any other parties who may be affected by the work. Any suspected building materials not addressed in this report, which are encountered during renovation should be analyzed prior to being damaged and/or removed.

Century, Escambia County, Florida September 12, 2025

Due to the age, use and construction of the subject building(s) asbestos or lead may have been used/present in the past but may have been removed or partially removed and some residue from previous or removal ACMs or lead could still exist. UES has no knowledge or documentation of such.

Analysis of resinously bound materials by EPA Method 600/R-93/116 July 1993, may yield false-negative results because of method limitations in separating closely bound fibers and in detecting fibers of small length and diameter. Should you desire, other analytical methods including TEM can be used to further evaluate these types of materials.

1.2 Purpose and Scope of Work

The purpose of this study was to perform an evaluation of the subject building for the presence of Hazardous Materials which may be present or impacted during impending renovation activities.

The activities and procedures used to accomplish this task were as follows:

Asbestos/Lead

A review of available building documents to identify potential locations of suspected hazardous materials.

Visual building inspection of accessible areas by an EPA AHERA accredited asbestos building inspector/Lead Risk Assessor to identify suspect ACMs/ lead coatings.

Once identified, homogeneous materials (materials which are uniform in color, texture, construction/application date, and general appearance) were determined.

Determine whether the suspect ACM is friable (a material that when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure) or non-friable.

Collection of bulk samples of each homogeneous suspect ACM. Record sample information on Asbestos Bulk Sample Forms (chain-of-custody sheets), which were signed, dated, and sent with the samples to the laboratory. For lead XRF testing was performed.

Analysis of the collected bulk samples at a NVLAP accredited laboratory using PLM for the presence of asbestos fibers.

If applicable, confirmatory analysis of bulk samples documented by PLM analysis as containing <1%, were further analyzed utilizing the “Quantitation using 400 Point Count Procedure” for asbestos analysis of bulk material via EPA method 600/R-93/116.

Approximate locations of the bulk samples were defined. In addition, approximate quantities of identified ACM and/or Lead were also determined, if present.

2.0 BUILDING CHARACTERISTICS AND INFORMATION

2.1 General

The building once housed the Gym. The Gym has been abandoned for an extended period since it was struck by a tornado. The building description is as follows:

Floors: Concrete Slab/Wood/Ceramic in Restrooms Walls: Concrete Block Ceilings: Tectum Board Roofing: Membrane

2.2 Available Building Information

No previous building data, other than asbestos survey, was provided to UES prior to the Hazardous Materials Survey.

Century, Escambia County, Florida September 12, 2025

2.3 Current Building Use

At the time of UES’s evaluation, the subject building was dilapidated/unoccupied.

3.0 BUILDING INSPECTION

3.1 Asbestos-Containing Materials

Three forms of ACMs are typically found in buildings. These materials are classified as follows:

• Surfacing Material – material that is sprayed-on, troweled-on, or otherwise applied to interior and exterior structural and architectural surfaces. Surfacing material includes acoustic plaster on ceilings, fireproofing on structural members, textured paint and exterior stucco, and other materials applied to surfaces for acoustic, decorative, fireproofing, and other purposes.

• TSI — material which is applied to interior and exterior mechanical components to reduce heat gain or loss. Thermal system insulation includes insulation on pipes, fittings, boilers, breeching, tanks, ducts, and other mechanical components.

• Miscellaneous Materials — material, other than surfacing material and thermal system insulation, on interior and exterior structural, mechanical, electrical, or architectural components, and surfaces. Miscellaneous material includes but is not limited to ceiling tiles, gaskets, floor coverings and mastics, wallboard joint compound, roofing materials, and cementitious products.

An inspection of the subject building was conducted to identify these, and other materials present within/on the building which are typically suspected of containing asbestos.

3.1 Inspection Procedures

UES’s field inspection was performed on August 13, 2025 by James E. Marsh, accredited according to Chapter 61-145 of the EPA’s Title 40, Part 61, Subpart M of the CFR, under the direction of an Asbestos Consultant licensed in the State of Florida. After a preliminary walk-through of the building, an inspection was conducted to evaluate the location and extent of the suspected asbestos containing building materials. Once identified, these materials were categorized into homogeneous areas containing materials of the same type, age, visual appearance, texture, composition, etc.

This type of survey is designed to be used as a basis for tendering the removal of ACMs from the subject building prior to demolition. Therefore, the survey does not assess the condition of the asbestos, other than to note areas of damage or where additional asbestos debris may be expected to be present. The present condition of each ACM was evaluated by UES and classified as one of three categories: Good, Fair or Poor. The “fair” and “poor” categories correspond to the AHERA definitions of “damaged” and “significantly damaged,” respectively.

The number of bulk samples collected was based on the category of homogeneous material and the quantity of the material present, as follows:

Century, Escambia County, Florida September 12, 2025

AHERA Guidelines for Determining the Number of Samples to Collect

HA Category HA Quantity Samples Required

Surfacing Materials <1,000 Square Feet 3

1,000 – 5,000 Square Feet 5

>5,000 Square Feet 7 or more

TSI No Stipulation 3+ (All repair patches must be sampled)

Miscellaneous Materials

No Stipulation Per AHERA Guidelines, these materials must be sampled “in a manner sufficient to determine whether or not they contain asbestos” typically 1 – 3 samples based upon the inspector’s judgement.

UES’s inspector(s) employed wet methods as applicable during bulk sample collection to reduce the potential for fiber release. Each sample was documented by labeling the container with a unique sample number, entering the sample material on a bulk sample log or chain-of-custody form, and noting the location of each sample on a floor plan. Throughout the sampling process, care was taken to prevent cross-contamination of the collected bulk samples. Sampling equipment was cleaned following the collection of each sample.

Random, and in some cases judgmental, samples of each homogeneous area of material were then collected. The physical condition of each material was assessed. In addition, a tactile inspection of the material was performed to evaluate its friability. If the material, when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure, it is considered friable. Samples from any homogeneous area where the inspector determined that the material was non-ACM (such as thermal insulation that obviously fibrous glass, foam glass, or rubber) were not collected. Photographic documentation is presented in Appendix C. Certifications for the inspector(s) performing the building survey, the FLAC’s certification, and UES’s Asbestos Business License are presented in Appendix E.

Suspected Asbestos-Containing Building Materials

Based on UES’s review of the available building system information and thorough visual survey of the subject building, 12 homogeneous materials were identified at the site commonly suspected of containing asbestos. The homogeneous materials consisted of concrete, ceramic tiles, tectum ceiling, terrazzo floor, floor felt, drywall, pipe insulation (elbows) and roofing.

LABORATORY ANALYSIS

3.2 Polarized Light Microscopy

The samples of the suspected ACMs collected during the field inspection were transported with chain-of-custody documentation to EMSL Analytical located in Orlando, Florida. EMSL Analytical is an accredited laboratory for bulk sample analysis according to the NVLAP. A copy of the laboratory’s NVLAP certification is presented in Appendix E.

Century, Escambia County, Florida September 12, 2025

Bulk samples were analyzed for the presence of asbestos fibers using PLM. The analyses were performed according to EPA Method 600/R-93/116 July 1993 “Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials.” This analytical method can be used for qualitative identification of six morphologically different types of asbestos fibers: chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, actinolite and anthophyllite.

PLM analysis requires the microscopist to take a portion of the sample and treat it with an oil of specific refractive index. The prepared slide is then subjected to a variety of tests while being viewed under varying polarizations of light. Each type of asbestos displays unique characteristics when subjected to these tests.

The method specifies that the asbestos content in a bulk sample shall be estimated and reported as a finite percentage within the range of 0 to 100. Minute quantities of asbestos in bulk samples may be reported as “trace” or <1%. The analytical method determines the asbestos percentage by means of visual estimation technique. If analysis of the sample of a suspect ACM reveals a negative result, UES considers the material to be non-asbestos containing. If at any time during the analytical process a sample tests positive, that material must be treated as asbestos-containing.

3.3 Point Count Analysis

None of the samples collected during the field inspection was point-counted as part of this survey.

3.4 FINDINGS

Twelve (12) suspect homogeneous materials were identified at the subject building. Following AHERA guidelines, the appropriate number of bulk samples were collected from the identified homogeneous material and submitted for laboratory analysis. The bulk sample laboratory report and associated chain-of-custody documentation is presented in Appendix B. The table below outlines general information regarding the suspect ACM.

Table Notes and Definitions:

HA: Homogeneous Area (materials which are uniform in color, texture, construction/application date, and general appearance) Condition: Good = Undamaged | Fair = Damaged | Poor = Severely Damaged Friability = Material that can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure when dry

3.5 SUMMARY OF ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS

Inspection of the subject building, located at Century, Escambia County, Florida , identified 12 materials suspected of containing asbestos fibers. Bulk samples of each material were collected and submitted to an NVLAP accredited laboratory for analysis. Based on review of laboratory analytical report, asbestos fibers excess of one percent was not detected in any of the 12 homogeneous materials.

3.6 REGULATORY INFORMATION

There are numerous federal and state statutes, regulations, and rules which govern the abatement and disposal of ACMs. In particular, the renovation of buildings containing asbestos building materials is regulated under the NESHAP statute. The NESHAP regulations require notification to the controlling agency and removal of all RACM prior to renovation. RACM is defined as: (1) friable asbestos material;

(2) Category I non-friable asbestos containing material that has become friable; (3) Category I non-friable asbestos containing material that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading;

or (4) Category II non-friable asbestos containing material that has a high probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations regulated by NESHAP. It is important to note that even though an activity may be exempt from the EPA NESHAP regulations, such exemption does not extend to OSHA standards or other state and federal statutes.

Renovation or demolition activities in buildings that contain ACM or PACM are also regulated under the OSHA Asbestos Construction Standard (CFR 1926.1101). The OSHA standard requires the building owner to inform their employees who will work in or adjacent to areas containing ACM or PACM, perspective employers applying or bidding for work whose employees reasonable cay be expected to work in or adjacent to areas containing ACM or PACM, all employers of employees on multi-employer work sites who will be performing work with or adjacent to areas containing asbestos, and tenants who will occupy areas containing ACM or PACM, of the presence location, and quantity of ACM or PACM at the work sites in their buildings and facilities. Further, the OSHA standard (1926.1101) requires employers who discover ACM or PACM to convey information concerning the presence, location and quantity of such newly discovered ACM or PACM to other employees working at the work site within 24 hours of discovery. While OSHA says the notification can be in written or personal communication, there are many advantages to written communication.

The OSHA construction standard (CFR 1926.1101) also contains specific training, work practices, procedures, engineering controls, notifications, permissible exposure limits, personal protection, record keeping, and a multitude of other requirements for the demolition, renovation, construction, alterations, repair, maintenance of structures, or portions there of that contain asbestos.

Century, Escambia County, Florida September 12, 2025

Future demolition of the on-site structures should be conducted in strict compliance with the aforementioned federal statutes and other applicable regulations, and good health and safety practices.

All procedures, methods, and documentation should be accomplished by and be the responsibility of appropriately licensed professionals (asbestos consultants and contractors).

Any material identified as non-friable ACM must be treated as friable ACM when the material is about to become friable as a result of activities performed within the buildings. Prior to renovation or demolition, Universal strongly recommends you meet with the controlling agencies and discuss the specific requirements for disposition of the asbestos containing materials identified in this report. State licensing and OSHA-related requirements would be applicable and should be strictly complied with during the demolition process.

3.8 CONTROLLING AGENCY

The notification can be submitted on FDEP’s Business Portal, located online at https://www.fldepportal.com/DepPortal/go/home.

4.1 Lead Paint/Coatings

Lead coatings can be found in paint, stains, and ceramic tile glazing.

An inspection of the subject building was conducted to identify leaded coatings using XRF test equipment.

4.2 Inspection Procedures

UES’s field inspection was performed for leaded coatings on August 13, 2025, by James E. Marsh, a Lead Risk Assessor.

4.3 XRF Testing Results

The XRF Test results are as follows:

XRF Tests Performed: 17 Results above 1.0 mg/cm2: 1 Exterior Front Overhang Support Column Reading between 0.1 and 0.9 mg/cm2: 2 Interior Metal Door Frames Not Dectected 14 https://floridadep.gov/air/permitting-compliance/content/asbestos mailto:Carol.Melton@FloridaDEP.gov https://www.fldepportal.com/DepPortal/go/home

Century, Escambia County, Florida September 12, 2025

Lead-Based Paint (LBP), as defined by the HUD, is dried paint film with a lead concentration equal to or greater than 1.0 mg/cm2 when measured by a portable XRF Lead Paint Analyzer, or a lead concentration of 5,000 ppm or 0.5 percent by weight when analyzed by an AIHA/ELLAP laboratory.

The leaded coatings screening was performed on August 13, 2025 by James E. Marsh in association with Mr.

Robert B. Sport, an EPA Certified Lead Paint Risk Assessor. A portable Radiation Monitoring Devices, Inc.

(RMD) LPA-1 XRF analyzer was used to analyze components for LBP. Mr. Marsh is certified by RMD to operate the LPA-1 Analyzer. Refer to Appendix D for the certification.

The RMD LPA-1 XRF Analyzer method of measurement is based on spectrometric analysis of lead K-shell XRF within a controlled depth of interrogation. K-shell measurements of lead in paint is the EPA/HUD’s preferred method of XRF measurement. The K-Shell line (the higher energy emission) is normally used for paint analysis because it measures lead in all layers of paint films, including those layers nearest the substrate where higher lead levels are often found. K-shell X-rays can penetrate multiple layers of paint and/or various other coatings without being affected by the thickness and composition of the layers. The RMD LPA-1 XRF Analyzer uses a controlled depth concept which restricts the penetration of the energetic K-shell X-rays into the substrate so that the analyzer will not locate objects deep in a wall or component such as lead pipes. The RMD LPA-1 XRF Analyzer distinguishes the lead X-ray from interfering X-ray radiation from other metals. The RMD LPA-1 XRF Analyzer calculates and then displays the specific lead content as mg/cm2 of surface area.

The lead XRF results do not warrant any action prior to or during demolition, based on their limited extent.

5.1 Lit Exit Signs

Four exit signs were observed in the building. Each is assumed to contain a Tritium source and should be disposed of properly prior to demolition.

6.1 Batteries

One emergency light fixture was observed within the lobby and is assumed to have a battery, which should be disposed of properly prior to demolition.

7.1 Mercury

No mercury-containing switches were observed at the site. However, mercury is assumed to be present within fluorescent bulbs throughout the site. Working lights can be properly stored for later use or reused.

Proper disposal of each tube is required.

8.1 PCB Ballast

The existing observed PCB light ballast labels stated : “No PCB’s”.

In the event the project site is not owned by Client, Client it is the Client's responsibility to inform the property owner of the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials or suspected hazardous materials. 6.5 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, Client waives any claim against UES, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, agrees to defend, indemnify, and save UES harmless from any claim, liability, and/or defense costs for injury or loss arising from UES's discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials or suspected hazardous materials including any costs created by delay of the project and any cost associated with possible reduction of the property's value. Client will be responsible for ultimate disposal of any samples secured by UES which are found to be contaminated.

SECTION 7: RISK ALLOCATION 7.1 Client agrees that UES's liability for any damage on account of any breach of contract, error, omission, or professional negligence will be limited to a sum not to exceed $50,000 or UES’s fee, whichever is greater. If Client prefers to have higher limits on contractual or professional liability, UES agrees to increase the limits up to a maximum of $1,000,000.00 upon Client’s written request at the time of accepting UES’s proposal provided that Client agrees to pay an additional consideration of four percent of the total fee, or $1,200.00, whichever is greater. If Client prefers a $2,000,000.00 limit on contractual or professional liability, UES agrees to increase the limits up to a maximum of $2,000,000.00 upon Client’s written request at the time of accepting UES’s proposal provided that Client agrees to pay an additional consideration of four percent of the total fee, or $2,000.00, whichever is greater. The additional charge for the higher liability limits is because of the greater risk assumed and is not strictly a charge for additional professional liability insurance. 7.2 Client shall not be liable to UES and UES shall not be liable to Client for any incidental, special, or consequential damages (including lost profits, loss of use, and lost savings) incurred by either party due to the fault of the other, regardless of the nature of the fault, or whether it was committed by Client or UES, their employees, agents, or subcontractors; or whether such liability arises in breach of contract or warranty, tort (including negligence), statutory, or any other cause of action. 7.3 As used in this Agreement, the terms “claim” or “claims” mean any claim in contract, tort, or statute alleging negligence, errors, omissions, strict liability, statutory liability, breach of contract, breach of warranty, negligent misrepresentation, or any other act giving rise to liability.

SECTION 8: INSURANCE 8.1 UES represents it and its agents, staff and consultants employed by UES, is and are protected by worker's compensation insurance and that UES has such coverage under public liability and property damage insurance policies which UES deems to be adequate. Certificates for all such policies of insurance shall be provided to Client upon request in writing. Within the limits and conditions of such insurance, UES agrees to indemnify and save Client harmless from and against loss, damage, or liability arising from negligent acts by UES, its agents, staff, and consultants employed by it. UES shall not be responsible for any loss, damage or liability beyond the amounts, limits, and conditions of such insurance or the limits described in Section 7, whichever is less. The Client agrees to defend, indemnify, and save UES harmless for loss, damage or liability arising from acts by Client, Client's agents, staff, and others employed by Client. 8.2 Under no circumstances will UES indemnify Client from or for Client’s own actions, negligence, or breaches of contract. 8.3

To the extent damages are covered by property insurance, Client and UES waive all rights against each other and against the contractors, consultants, agents, and employees of the other for damages, except such rights as they may have to the proceeds of such insurance.

SECTION 9: DISPUTE RESOLUTION 9.1 All claims, disputes, and other matters in controversy between UES and Client arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement will be submitted to mediation or non-binding arbitration, before and as a condition precedent to other remedies provided by law. 9.2 If a dispute arises and that dispute is not resolved by mediation or non-binding arbitration, then: (a) the claim will be brought in the state or federal courts having jurisdiction where the UES office which provided the service is located; and (b) the prevailing party will be entitled to recovery of all reasonable costs incurred, including staff time, court costs, attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, and other claim related expenses.

SECTION 10: TERMINATION 10.1 This agreement may be terminated by either party upon seven (7) days written notice in the event of substantial failure by the other party to perform in accordance with the terms hereof, or in the case of a force majeure event such as terrorism, act of war, public health or other emergency. Such termination shall not be effective if such substantial failure or force majeure has been remedied before expiration of the period specified in the written notice. In the event of termination, UES shall be paid for services performed to the termination notice date plus reasonable termination expenses.

10.2 In the event of termination, or suspension for more than three (3) months, prior to completion of all reports contemplated by the Agreement, UES may complete such analyses and records as are necessary to complete its files and may also complete a report on the services performed to the date of notice of termination or suspension. The expense of termination or suspension shall include all direct costs of UES in completing such analyses, records, and reports.

SECTION 11: REVIEWS, INSPECTIONS, TESTING, AND OBSERVATIONS 11.1 Plan review, private provider inspections, and building inspections are performed for the purpose of observing compliance with applicable building codes. Threshold inspections are performed for the purpose of observing compliance with an approved threshold inspection plan. Construction materials testing (“CMT”) is performed to document compliance of certain materials or components with applicable testing standards. UES’s performance of plan reviews, private provider inspections, building inspections, threshold inspections, or CMT, or UES’s presence on the site of Client’s project while performing any of the foregoing activities, is not a representation or warranty by UES that Client’s project is free of errors in either design or construction. 11.2 If UES is retained to provide construction monitoring or observation, UES will report to Client any observed work which, in UES’s opinion, does not conform to the plans and specifications provided to UES. UES shall have no authority to reject or terminate the work of any agent or contractor of Client. No action, statements, or communications of UES, or UES’s site representative, can be construed as modifying any agreement between Client and others. UES’s performance of construction monitoring or observation is not a representation or warranty by UES that Client’s project is free of errors in either design or construction. 11.3 Neither the activities of UES pursuant to this Agreement, nor the presence of UES or its employees, representatives, or subcontractors on the project site, shall be construed to impose upon UES any responsibility for means or methods of work performance, superintendence, sequencing of construction, or safety conditions at the project site. Client acknowledges that Client or its contractor is solely responsible for project jobsite safety. 11.4 Client is responsible for scheduling all inspections and CMT activities of UES. All testing and inspection services will be performed on a will-call basis. UES will not be responsible for tests and inspections that are not performed due to Client’s failure to schedule UES’s services on the project, or for any claims or damages arising from tests and inspections that are not scheduled or performed.

SECTION 12: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS Client acknowledges that an Environmental Site Assessment (“ESA”) is conducted solely to permit UES to render a professional opinion about the likelihood or extent of regulated contaminants being present on, in, or beneath the site in question at the time services were conducted. No matter how thorough an ESA study may be, findings derived from the study are limited and UES cannot know or state for a fact that a site is unaffected by reportable quantities of regulated contaminants as a result of conducting the ESA study. Even if UES states that reportable quantities of regulated contaminants are not present, Client still bears the risk that such contaminants may be present or may migrate to the site after the ESA study is complete.

SECTION 13: SUBSURFACE EXPLORATIONS 13.1 Client acknowledges that subsurface conditions may vary from those observed at locations where borings, surveys, samples, or other explorations are made, and that site conditions may change with time. Data, interpretations, and recommendations by UES will be based solely on information available to UES at the time of service. UES is responsible for those data, interpretations, and recommendations, but will not be responsible for other parties’ interpretations or use of the information developed or provided by UES. 13.2 Subsurface explorations may result in unavoidable cross-contamination of certain subsurface areas, as when a probe or boring device moves through a contaminated zone and links it to an aquifer, underground stream, or other hydrous body not previously contaminated. UES is unable to eliminate totally cross-contamination risk despite use of due care.

Since subsurface explorations may be an essential element of UES’s services indicated herein, Client shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, waive any claim against UES, and indemnify, defend, and hold UES harmless from any claim or liability for injury or loss arising from cross-contamination allegedly caused by UES’s subsurface explorations. In addition, Client agrees to compensate UES for any time spent or expenses incurred by UES in defense of any such claim with compensation to be based upon UES's prevailing fee schedule and expense reimbursement policy.

SECTION 14: SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES Client agrees not to hire UES's employees except through UES. In the event Client hires a UES employee within one year following any project through which Client had contact with said employee, Client shall pay UES an amount equal to one-half of the employee's annualized salary, as liquidated damages, without UES waiving other remedies it may have.

SECTION 15: ASSIGNS Neither Client nor UES may delegate, assign, sublet, or transfer its duties or interest in this Agreement without the written consent of the other party.

SECTION 16: GOVERNING LAW AND SURVIVAL 16.1 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the UES office performing the services hereunder is located. 16.2 In any of the provisions of this Agreement are held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be impaired and will survive. Limitations of liability and indemnities will survive termination of this agreement for any cause.

SECTION 17: INTEGRATION CLAUSE 17.1 This Agreement represents and contains the entire and only agreement and understanding among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous oral and written agreements, understandings, representations, inducements, promises, warranties, and conditions among the parties. No agreement, understanding, representation, inducement, promise, warranty, or condition of any kind with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be relied upon by the parties unless expressly incorporated herein.

17.2 This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom the enforcement of any modification or amendment is sought.

SECTION 18: WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL Both Client and UES waive trial by jury in any action arising out of or related to this Agreement.

SECTION 19: INDIVIDUAL LIABILTY PURSUANT TO FLORIDA STAT. 558.0035, AN

INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF UES MAY NOT BE HELD INDIVIDUALLY LIABLE

FOR NEGLIGENCE.
