Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, neither Consultant nor Civitas will have any further obligations under this Agreement, except that (a) Consultant will terminate all Consulting Services in progress in an orderly manner as soon as practicable and in accordance with a schedule agreed to by Civitas, unless Civitas specifies in the notice of termination that Consulting Services in progress should be completed; (b) Consultant will deliver to Civitas all Work Product made through expiration or termination; (c) Civitas will pay Consultant any monies due and owing Consultant under this Agreement and all authorized expenses actually incurred; (d) Consultant will immediately return to Civitas all Civitas Materials and other Confidential Information and copies thereof provided to Consultant under this Agreement; and (e) the terms, conditions and obligations under Sections 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.
