( "RDM "). RDM was formerly employed as the architect for the above - referenced project. However, certain disputes arose between the project owner and RDM, which resulted in a termination of their contract. The parties executed a Settlement Agreement and Release effective January 31, 2008 that formally ended their association. More recently, I am informed that the owner submitted architectural, mechanical /plumbing, and electrical drawings bearing RDM's seals and/or identifying borders. More particularly, drawings related to a `Bath House," "Existing Building Remodel" and a "Gatehouse" were apparently provided to your office in February and March of 2008. Understandably, my client is concerned that the submission of these drawings, bearing its seals and/or borders, may lead the Catawba County Building Services Department to incorrectly assume that RDM still serves as the project architect and/or played a role in preparing these submissions. The purpose of this letter is to unequivocally inform the Catawba County Building Services Department that RDM was not involved in the preparation of these 2008 submissions and does not serve as the architect/designer for this project. Thus, RDM has no responsibility for, or involvement with, any plans, drawings, schematics, blueprints or similar drawings and designs submitted to you in connection with the same. I request that you modify your records to reflect RDM's lack of involvement in this project, and that any plans or related drawings submitted to your office bearing RDM's seals, name, or borders be destroyed. 2189992_1 JAMES J.
