hours totaling up to half of the total number of professional hours. A site visit charge, which includes travel time and miscellaneous travel expenses, may be invoiced in lieu of travel time and auto mileage when ACES'
professionals make a visit to your site. The costs associated with the preparation and reproduction of project materials shall be invoiced as separate items. The firm shall be reimbursed in full for travel directly
related to the performance of the project. This includes air fare, auto rental, lodging and meals for all required personnel of the firm while in transit to and from the project site. Additional variable expenses include auto
mileage charged at the rate of .31 per mile, parking fees and miscellaneous travel related expenses. Long distance line charges and data base access charges required during the project will be invoiced based on the standard rates
of the firm. Copies of receipts, where available, will be provided upon request. The firm shall provide clients with an itemized statement for
charges incurred on a monthly basis. Requests for reimbursement of variable expenses shall be made during the firm's normal invoicing cycle. All invoices become due upon receipt. A cornerstone of our professional reputation is based on strict rules of confidentiality. It is necessary and desirable that the consultants be provided access to all information that is required
for successful completion of the project. The disclosure of all such information to employees and associates of American Computer & Electronic Services Corp. will be held in strictest confidence. All reasonable precautions
against unauthorized disclosure of information obtained during the consulting engagement to third parties during and after the project will be taken.
Additional Professional Services During the course of a project the consultants are often requested to become involved in a matter pressing or timely to the client's business operations though not directly related
to the project for which estimates of professional time and project expenses were initially provided. Such requests are gladly accommodated, subject to time availability. Requests for additional professional services not
specifically included in the original project estimates will be invoiced separately based on the current professional services rate of the firm.
