ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERIVIINATION 7.1 California Law. 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 concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in 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 have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. 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. 01203.0007/464459.8 15 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 (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant's acts or omissions 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 breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement. Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this 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. 7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party. 7.6 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et seq. and 910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement. 7.7 Liquidated Damages. Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of 01203.0007/464459.8 16 this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of ($ ) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder. The City may withhold from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Contractor any accrued liquidated damages. 7.8 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term. This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Consultant, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Consultant reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days' written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the period of notice may be such shorter time as the Consultant may determine. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Consultant has initiated termination,the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2. 7.9 Termination for Default of Consultant. If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated. 7.10 Attorneys' Fees. If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees.

Consultant will audit the financial statements of the City and the component units noted in the Scope of Services. The financial statements of all entities where the City exercises oversight will be combined with the City's financial statements in accordance with Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requirements. Consultant's audit will be in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS), as set forth by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), and will include such auditing procedures as Consultant considers necessary under the circumstances. Consultant will apply certain limited procedures, which consist principally of inquiries of management regarding methods of measurement and presentation of required supplementary information. However, Consultant will not audit such information and will not express an opinion on it. Any supplemental financial statements will be subjected to auditing procedures as Consultant considers necessary in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. The scope of Consultant's audit will not include any statistical information, and Consultant will not express an opinion concerning it. Consultant's audits will conform to the guidelines set forth in the AICPA's Industry Audit Guide, Audits of State and Local Governmental Units. Also, each examination will comply with the standards for financial and compliance audits contained in the Government Auditing Standards, issued by the US General Accounting Office, the provisions of the Single Audit Act, and the provisions of Title 2 US Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirement for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Also, Consultant will perform an agreed-upon procedures review of the City's Gann Spending Limitation Computation as required by Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution. Consultant's review will be performed in conformance with the provision of the"League of California Cities Uniform Guidelines." AUDIT APPROACH. • Consultant will assign experienced staff auditors, including the in-charge field auditor, having at least three years of experience. For first-year engagements, all other staff will have at least one year of experience. City will not spend time training Consultant's auditors. • Whenever possible, Consultant will use the same format for audit supporting schedules used in prior years for the current-year audit. This will reduce time spent by City staff in dealing with the audit when a different audit firm is chosen. 01203.0007/464459.8 B-1 • Throughout the year, Consultant is available as a resource to City in researching technical questions, dealing with new pronouncements, reviewing complex financial entries, and helping with any other issues as they arise. • The workpapers will be reviewed by Consultant's manager or partner as fieldwork is being completed to minimize additional questions after the fieldwork is completed. • Consultant's firm uses a governmental audit program that will be modified to the City's operations to accommodate specific client circumstances. Consultant's audit programs are organized by the financial statement approach and general procedures. The requirements by the standards for assessing risk are utilized to modify the audit programs to focus on the higher risk areas of the financial statements. FINAL AUDIT WORK. During the final audit work, Consultant will assess "risk" of material misstatement based on an understanding of the City's audit environment, including its internal control, to identify account balances. Consultant's audit programs will be specifically tailored to address any significant risks identified. The Prepared by Client list will be provided at least one month in advance of fieldwork. Consultant's work may include the following: • Confirm cash and investments balances and testing of bank reconciliations. • Confirm significant receivable balances or review subsequent cash receipts to verify receivable balance. • Search for unrecorded liabilities. • Test interfund balances and transfers. • Test capital asset additions and depreciation expense. • Confirm long-term debt balances and review the accounting treatment of debt issued or refunded. • Test support for other significant assets or liabilities. • Perform analytical procedures on the balance sheet and revenue and expenditure accounts to evaluate and explain unusual fluctuations from prior-year balances or current-year budgeted amounts. • Review attorney letters for significant legal matters affecting the City's financial position. • Conduct an exit conference to review any significant adjustments or findings. 01203.0007/464459.8 B-2 • The audit workpapers will be reviewed by Consultant's management team as the work is being performed in the field so that at the conclusion of the fieldwork Consultant is able to report any adjustments or findings. AUDIT APPROACH REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY/SUCCESSOR AGENCY. Recent legislation related to the dissolution of Redevelopment Agencies will impact Consultant's audit approach. Consultant's procedures will include the following: • Audit the balances reported for cash, investments, receivables, payables, capital assets, and long-term liabilities as of end of the year. • Review the activity reported on the Recognized Obligation Payments Schedule. • Review the activities of the Successor Agency to ensure compliance with Assembly Bills 26 and 1484, Senate Bill 107, and other relevant legislation enacted. APPROACH TO INTERNAL CONTROL. Consultant's audit will include obtaining an understanding of the entity and its environment, including internal control, sufficient to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and to design the nature, timing, and extent of further audit procedures. Consultant's understanding of the internal controls will be completed by completing narratives and checklists for various processes related to internal control. Tests of controls may be performed to test the effectiveness of certain controls that Consultant considers relevant to preventing and detecting errors and fraud that are material to the financial statements and to preventing and detecting misstatements resulting from illegal acts and other noncompliance matters that have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. Consultant's tests, if performed, will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on internal control, and accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in Consultant's report on internal control issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards. As required by Title 2 US Code of Federal Regulations Part 200,Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirement for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), Consultant will perform tests of controls over compliance to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of controls that Consultant considers relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance with compliance requirements applicable to each major federal award program. However, Consultant's tests will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on those controls, and accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in Consultant's report on internal control issued pursuant to the Uniform Guidance. An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify significant deficiencies. However, during the audit, Consultant will communicate to management 01203.0007/464459.8 B-3 and those charged with governance internal control related matters that are required to be communicated under AICPA professional standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance. SINGLE AUDIT APPROACH. • The single audit will be performed in accordance with all the requirements of the Single Audit Act, the Uniform Guidance, and Government Auditing Standards issued by the GAO (the Yellow Book) for cities that expend greater than$750,000 in federal awards in a fiscal year. • Consultant will identify the major and nonmajor federal programs of the City through the risk-based approach required by the Uniform Guidance. This approach includes consideration of current and prior audit experience, oversight by federal agencies and pass-through entities,and the inherent risk of the federal program. • Consultant will review all federal and industry-specific publications and guidance and inform the City of any recent changes. • Consultant will perform tests of controls to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of controls that Consultant considers relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance with applicable compliance requirements. If weaknesses in the internal controls are noted, Consultant will modify our audit program as needed. • Our audit will include tests of transactions related to major federal award programs for compliance with applicable compliance requirements and certain provisions of laws,regulations, contracts, and grant agreements. • Our procedures will consist of the applicable procedures described in the Uniform Guidance for the types of compliance requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City's major programs. The purpose of those procedures will be to express an opinion on the City's compliance with requirements applicable to major programs in our report on compliance issued pursuant to the Uniform Guidance. • Consultant will assist the City in completing and filing the Data Collection Form. DETERMINING LAWS AND REGULATIONS SUBJECT TO AUDIT. Under provisions of AICPA auditing standards,management of the City is responsible for identifying to its outside auditors any laws and regulations that could have a significant effect on the audit. This would include federal laws (such as federal grant regulations), state laws (such as permitted investments under the California Government Code), and local laws (such as restrictions on special revenues levied by the City).After Consultant's selection as auditors, Consultant will consult with City officials regarding these matters to determine what laws and regulations need to be evaluated in connection with Consultant's audit. If a City is not able to identify specific laws and regulations that affect 01203.0007/464459.8 B-4 it, Consultant has references (California Government Code and Health and Safety Code) to the more common laws, rules, and regulations in Consultant's standard audit programs for the usual activities of a California City or Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency that will assist us in identifying laws and regulations to review in the audit. METHOD OF SAMPLING. Consultant's approach is to utilize random sampling based on Consultant's testing of the internal control systems related to cash receipts, cash disbursements, payroll, and utility billings. Based on a statistical conclusion used by the firm Consultant's sample sizes can range from 25 to 60 transactions for each system. A random sample selection allows each item in the population an equal chance of being selected. In addition, for disbursements, Consultant may select a stratified sample of all transactions over a specified dollar amount for review. ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES. Analytical procedures are used in the planning and final stages of the audit. In the planning phase, Consultant will use analytical procedures to identify unusual financial transactions and compare relationships to expected results. Consultant will compare current-year information to the prior years for balance sheet items, revenues, and expenditures. In addition, revenues and expenditures are compared to budgets to identify unexpected results. In the final stages of the audit, the financial statements are reviewed to identify expected relationships, such as comparing debt paid to expenditures recorded on governmental funds, transfers between funds, depreciation expense, etc. For all significant relationships identified, explanations are obtained as to why the situation occurred and additional audit procedures are applied to resolve any concerns. MANAGEMENT LETTERS. In connection with each audit, a complete review of internal controls will be made of all significant accounting procedures. Consultant's firm uses an internal control questionnaire, computer systems questionnaire, and narration to gain an understanding of the internal control process as part of Consultant's audit. Consultant will identify weaknesses, and after discussion with the appropriate City staff, Consultant will submit a management letter that will identify weaknesses observed during these reviews and throughout the audit. The management letter will also assess the effect of the management letter comments on the financial reporting process and recommend steps toward eliminating the weaknesses. POTENTIAL AUDIT PROBLEMS. Consultant does not anticipate any significant potential audit problems. If any potential audit problems are identified, Consultant will immediately discuss them with the City's management. Consultant's approach is to coordinate the resolution of any problems with the City's management. Considering Consultant's experience with auditing governmental 01203.0007/464459.8 B-5 entities, Consultant expects minimal disruption to the City's management in resolving any identified audit problems. RETENTION OF AND ACCESS TO AUDIT WORKPAPERS. In accordance with provisions of the Uniform Guidance, GAO requirements, and the California Board of Accountancy, Consultant's audit workpapers will be maintained for at least seven years after the date of the report. These workpapers will be made available as necessary to City's cognizant audit agency(or its designee),to GAO representatives, or to any other federal or state agency needing access to the workpapers. Also, Consultant's firm will respond to any reasonable inquiries of successor auditors, and Consultant will allow any successor auditors to review Consultant's workpapers. IRREGULARITIES AND ILLEGAL ACTS. Consultant will make an immediate written report of all irregularities, illegal acts, or indications of illegal acts of which Consultant becomes aware to the following parties: the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, the City Manager, the City Attorney, and the Director of Finance. DISCUSSION OF RELEVANT ACCOUNTING ISSUES GASB STATEMENT NO. 75 GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions, is effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2017. The scope of this statement addresses accounting and financial reporting for post-employment benefits other than pension (other post-employment benefits or OPEB) that are provided to the employees of state and local governmental employers. This statement establishes standards for recognizing and measuring liabilities, deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources, and expense/expenditures for defined benefit and defined contribution plans. GASB STATEMENT NO. 81 GASB Statement No. 81, Irrevocable Split-Interest Agreements, is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. This statement requires that a government that receives resources pursuant to an irrevocable split-interest agreement recognize assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources at the inception of the agreement. It also requires that a government recognize assets representing its beneficial interest in irrevocable split-interest agreements that are administered by a third party if the government controls the present service capacity of the beneficial interests, and that a government recognizes revenue when the resources become applicable to the reporting period. GASB STATEMENT NO. 82 01203.0007/464459.8 B-6 GASB Statement No. 82, Pension Issues an Amendment of GASB Statements No. 67, No. 68, and No. 73, is effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2016, except for certain provisions on selection of assumptions, which are effective in the first reporting period in which the measurement date of the pension liability is on or after June 15, 2017. For the selection of assumptions, this statement clarifies that a deviation, as the term is used in Actuarial Standards of Practices issued by the Actuarial Standards Board, from the guidance in an Actuarial Standard of Practice is not considered to be in conformity with the requirements of Statement No. 67, Statement No. 68, or Statement No. 73 for the selection of assumptions used in determining the total pension liability and related measures. GASB STATEMENT NO. 83 GASB Statement No. 83, Certain Asset Retirement Obligations, is effective for periods beginning after June 15,2018. This statement addresses accounting and financial reporting for certain asset retirement obligations (AROs). An ARO is a legally enforceable liability associated with the retirement of a tangible capital asset. A government that has legal obligations to perform future asset retirement activities related to its tangible capital assets should recognize a liability based on the guidance in this statement. GASB STATEMENT NO. 84 GASB Statement No. 84,Fiduciary Activities, is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (earlier application is encouraged). This statement establishes criteria for identifying activities of all states and local governments. The focus of the criteria generally is on (1) whether a government is controlling the assets of the fiduciary activity and (2) the beneficiaries with whom a fiduciary relationship exists. This statement describes four fiduciary funds that should be reported, if applicable: (1) pension (and other post-employment benefit) trust funds, (2) investment trust funds, (3)private-purpose trust funds, and (4) custodial funds. Activities meeting the criteria should be reported in a fiduciary fund in the basic financial statements. GASB STATEMENT NO. 85 GASB Statement No. 85, Omnibus 2017, is effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15,2017 (earlier application is encouraged). This statement addresses practice issues that have been identified during implementation and application of certain GASB Statements. This statement addresses a variety of topics including issues related to blending component units, goodwill, fair value measurement and application, and post-employment benefits (pensions and other post-employment benefits). 01203.0007/464459.8 B-7 GASB STATEMENT NO. 86 GASB Statement No. 86, Certain Debt Extinguishment Issues, is effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2017 (earlier application is encouraged). This statement provides guidance for transactions in which cash and other monetary assets acquired with only existing resources - resources other than the proceeds of refunding debt - are placed in an irrevocable trust for the sole purpose of extinguishing debt. This statement also improves accounting and financial reporting for prepaid insurance on debt that is extinguished and notes to financial statements for debt that is defeased in substance. GASB STATEMENT NO. 87 GASB Statement No. 87, Leases, is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15,2019 (earlier application is encouraged). This statement establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. Under this statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use lease asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources, thereby enhancing the relevance and consistency of information about a government's leasing activities. 01203.0007/464459.8 B-8 EXHIBIT "B" SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS (Superseding Contract Boilerplate) Section 3.4,Term, is amended as follows: 3.4 Term.
