sequentially. However, new sheets are occasionally added to the price list. When a new sheet is added
between sheets already in effect, a decimal is added. For example, a new sheet added between sheets 14

example, the 4th revised Sheet 14 cancels the 3rd revised Sheet 14. Because of various suspension

without the fault or negligence of the par claiming excusable delay or failure to
perform.
