(a) Default;Cure.In the event that Contractor is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default.The notice shall include the timeframe in which Contractor may cure the default.This timeframe is presumptively thirty(30)days,but maybe extended,though not reduced,if circumstances warrant.During the period of time that Contractor is in default,the City shall hold all invoices and shall proceed with payment on the invoices only when the default is cured.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 Contractor 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 Contractor'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. (b) Dispute Resolution.This contract is subject to the provisions of Article 1.5 (commencing at Section 20104) of Division 2, Part 3 of the California Public Contract Code regarding the resolution of public works claims of less than$375,000.Article 1.5 mandates certain procedures for the filing of claims and supporting documentation by the Contractor,for the response to such claims by the City, for a mandatory meet and confer conference upon the request of the Contractor, for mandatory non-binding mediation in the event litigation is commenced, and for mandatory judicial arbitration upon the failure to resolve the dispute through mediation.

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. -19- 01203.0006/520439.1 Acceptance by City of any work or services by Contractor 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.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein,Contractor shall file a 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 this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of Two Hundred Dollars ($200) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder,as specified in the Schedule of Performance(Exhibit "D"). The City may withhold from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Contractor any accrued liquidated damages.Pursuant to Government Code Section 4215,Contractor shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in completion of the project when such delay was caused by the failure of the public agency or owner of the utility to provide for removal or relocation of utility facilities. 7.8 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.

In the event the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor 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 Contractor. If termination is due to the failure of the Contractor 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 Contractor 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 Contractor for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated. 7.10 Attorneys' Fees.
