The LEED NC for Retail 2009 rating system differs from the LEED NC 2009 rating system for IEQ C4 in that the retail system includes 6 options -- all those included in NC plus 'Furniture and Furnishings' and 'Ceiling and Wall Systems.' Each of the six options is worth a point each; however, a maximum of five points may be earned for the credit.
I'm wondering if anyone knows whether projects can earn an exemplary performance point (in addition to the credit maximum of five points) by meeting the requirements for all six options.
Neither the Retail Reference Guide supplement nor the sample credit template for IEQ C4 contain any information on this, but it seems reasonable to me that an exemplary performance point would be allowed in this situation.

We have a LEED CI Gold space and we were given 4 EQc4 points and ID points by meeting all of the EQc 4s (4.1-4.6) that are called out in LEED for Schools at the time of our certification.
