the outstanding invoices during the period of default.If Contractor does not cure the default,the City

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. This
Agreement hereby incorporates the provisions of Article 1.5 as though fully set forth herein.
7.3 Retention of Funds.
Contractor hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Contractor
(whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in

damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by
reason of Contractor's acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Contractor'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 Contractor, 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 Contractor to insure,
indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.

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 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.

Agreement,the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of

times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.

or in equity,to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default,to compel

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.

Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of
One Hundred Dollars ($100) 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

right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days' written

Contractor shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically
approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Contractor has initiated termination, the
Contractor 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 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

the amounts owed the City as previously stated.
