Consultant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet any deadlines or delivery dates specified in the applicable Work Order, Proposal, and/or Statement of Work, subject to any delays or other unforeseen circumstances beyond Consultant's control.

In the case of any unreasonable or persistent delays, Consultant reserves the right to pause the project for up to 90 days and invoice for services rendered through the pause date based on Consultant's hourly rate of $150.00 (not to exceed the total amount of the Fee).
