volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds as respects: liability arising out of activities
Consultant performs; products and completed operations of Consultant; premises owned, occupied or
used by Consultant; or any automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by Consultant. The coverage

respects City or its respective elected or appointed officers, officials, employees and volunteers or the
Consultant shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim
administration, defense expenses and claims. The Consultant agrees that the requirement to provide
insurance shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the Consultant may be held
responsible for the payment of damages to any persons or property resulting from the Consultant's
activities or the activities of any person or persons for which the Consultant is otherwise responsible nor
shall it limit the Consultant's indemnification liabilities as provided in Section 5.3.
In the event the Consultant subcontracts any portion of the work in compliance with Section 4.5
of this Agreement, the contract between the Consultant and such subcontractor shall require the
subcontractor to maintain the same policies of insurance that the Consultant is required to maintain
pursuant to Section 5.1, and such certificates and endorsements shall be provided to City.

by any person, firm or entity arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of the work,
operations or activities provided herein of Consultant, its officers, employees, agents, subcontractors, or
invitees, or any individual or entity for which Consultant is legally liable("indemnitors"),or arising from

any and all costs and expenses incurred by the City, its officers, agents or employees in such action or
proceeding,including but not limited to,legal costs and attorneys' fees.
Consultant shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors and if it fails
to do so Consultant shall be fully responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefore, and failure of City
to monitor compliance with these provisions shall not be a waiver hereof. This indemnification includes
claims or liabilities arising from any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission, or reckless or willful
misconduct of Consultant in the performance of professional services hereunder. The provisions of this
Section do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring as a result of City's sole negligence or willful acts
or omissions, but, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall apply to claims and liabilities resulting in
part from City's negligence, except that design professionals' indemnity hereunder shall be limited to
claims and liabilities arising out of the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the design
professional. The indemnity obligation shall be binding on successors and assigns of Consultant and

Rating Guide or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better,

property of City and shall be delivered to City upon request of the Contract Officer or upon the
termination of this Agreement, and Consultant shall have no claim for further employment or additional
compensation as a result of the exercise by City of its full rights of ownership use, reuse, or assignment
of the documents and materials hereunder. Any use, reuse or assignment of such completed documents
for other projects and/or use of uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the
Consultant will be at the City's sole risk and without liability to Consultant, and Consultant's guarantee
and warranties shall not extend to such use, reuse or assignment. Consultant may retain copies of such
documents for its own use. Consultant shall have the right to use the concepts embodied therein. All
subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared by them, and

court order or subpoena from any party regarding this Agreement and the work performed there under.
City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Consultant or be present at any deposition,
hearing or similar proceeding. Consultant agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with
the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Consultant. However, this
right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite
said response.

This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to
performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions

the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in
the Central District of California,in the County of Los Angeles, State of California.
7.2 Disputes;Default.
In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not

The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default. This timeframe is
presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant.
During the period of time that Consultant is in default,the City shall hold all invoices and shall,when the
default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole
discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant
does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this
Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant's default shall not be deemed
to result in a waiver of the City's legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.
7.3 Retention of Funds.
Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant(whether or
not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or
which are necessary to compensate City for any losses,costs,liabilities,or damages suffered by City,and

in performing or failing to perform Consultant's obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any
claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any
indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from
any payment due,without liability for interest because of such withholding,an amount sufficient to cover
such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect
the obligations of the Consultant to insure,indemnify,and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.

7.4 Waiver.
Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement
shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any

waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement. Acceptance by City of

Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any
default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either party of any
default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other
provision of this Agreement.

Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure
