and Masterpiece shall have the first option to perform for AUI and Control Group
the services set forth on Schedule 2.01 (the "Designated Services") upon the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2.02. AUI or Control Group, as the case may be, shall deliver to

contract.

Schedule 3.02, and which is based upon the "Data Processing Job Billing
Worksheet", a copy of which is attached as Schedule 3.02(a).
3.03. If the compensation for Designated Services set forth on a Purchase
Order is not capable of computation based upon Agency Lettershop Pricing or the
Data Processing Pricing Program, the Purchase Order shall clearly state such
fact and shall set forth the compensation proffered.
3

payable within thirty (30) days, with a late fee of one (1%) percent per month,
or any portion thereof, in excess of thirty (30) days. Notwithstanding the
