If, at the point of termination for convenience, ASE has not consumed services under the Partnership Agreement for Consulting Services (hereunder the incorporated Client Relationship Agreement for Services and its transaction documents) as described above under paragraph 2 (Scope of the Commitment Agreement), ASE will be invoiced 2,5% of the remaining not consumed amount as per the example below:
