"The approximate cost quoted represents a realistic budgetary number. Although
it is possible that the actual project budget may produce a significantly
different number than the budgetary number, past performance has traditionally
shown little variation between numbers (between proposed initial assessment and
final working budget) pending customer choices, hidden engineering discoveries,
unusual government requirements, or fees. In the event of such variation,
significant savings are often experienced through value engineering. IBC pricing
includes contingency allocation to prevent or diminish anticipated government
intervention, or owner forced changes."
"This project may move forward on the revolutionary Fastrack system unique to
IBC, made available by IBC' in-house capabilities of integrated architecture,
industrial engineering and construction. Upon customer approval of block plan
and required specifications and/or parameters, the project construction may
begin while the drawings and engineering are in development and during the plan
review process. This unique Fastrack performance system is provided as a result
of the IBC TOTAL FACILITIES SERVICE AND OUTSOURCE performance standard at no
additional or premium charge."

ADDENDUM TO PROJECT DESCRIPTION. PROPOSAL: No. (E6452) DATED: NOV. 03, 2000
I Scope
The written description, although revised per the latest drawing dated
Nov. 01, 2000 version # 6 is to be subordinate to the architectural
floor plans signed with this agreement which will take precedence as to
the size and scope of project. All construction will be of workmanship
quality, and unit call-outs will be appropriate for usage as designed
by customer for this plan set & date excluding changes in scope
incurred as change order items.
II Project will be worked in 2 phases
----------------------------------
Phase 1 is to be all non-cleanroom work, as possible & prudent, to
include, but not limited to, receiving office, QC inspection, hazardous
waste, electrical room, quality control lab, decontamination room, and
degreasing & freon dipping plus all modifications, as possible, within
the existing bottom floor space as now built.
Fencing areas will be erected with phase 1 construction.
Racking (existing) and sprinkler piping will be relocated at phase 1.
III No work is to be done to the existing upstairs
IV Moving of production equipment only (No personnel or computer or
electronics)
V Any reusable components found applicable from existing site however not
at the expense of serviceability or at risk of premature failure, is to
be used at contractor discretion.
<PAGE>
VI The following approximate times are applicable as a best case scenario
for this project.
10 - 12 weeks Construction (best case)
1 week Equipment relocation and hook-up
3 - 4 weeks Plans and Engineering
4 - 6 weeks Time in City
2 weeks Contingency
6 weeks Approximate after permit
Scheduling on all short duration fast track progress is subject to considerable
third party impact that may affect time line considerably. Although estimated
time(s) will not be cumulative, the worst case should be planned for.
Image Builders will work several tasks simultaneously, as prudent and possible,
to accomplish the greatest degree of completion in the least amount of overall
time. Third party considerations, although influenced by Image Builders, are
ultimately out of its control and may influence schedule. Image Builders will
document your project fully. You will receive via fax, or e-mail, (as desired) a
comprehensive description of events virtually on a daily basis to assist in your
on-going assessment of project impact.
No time will be wasted. No staff is more prepared, dedicated, nor willing to
work the time needed to insure your project is completed in the minimum time
possible.
VII Attorneys Fees
--------------
In the event litigation is required to enforce any terms of this agreement or
action arising from this agreement the prevailing party will be entitled to
collect all attorneys fees and costs incurred in the course of pursuing such
action.
