<br />for final compensation.
<br />11.4 Suspension
<br />11.4.1 The Owner may, in writing, order the Designer to suspend, delay or interrupt all or any part of its Services on the Project for the convenience of
<br />Owner.

<br />of the duration of Basic Services or an increase in the level of staffing by Designer, it shall so notify the Owner and propose an amendment of the Key
<br />Milestone Listing for consideration of the Owner. Such amendment or extension shall be effective only upon the written approval of the Owner, which
<br />will not be withheld unreasonably.
