Contractor shall, without further notice from City, cause the amount of the bonds to be

proof of such is provided to the City.
SECTION 8. TERMINATION.
8.1 Termination by City. City may, by written notice to Contractor, terminate
with or without cause, and without any prior notice of default or right to cure by
Contractor, the whole or any part of this Agreement at any time and by giving written
notice to Contractor of such termination, and specifying the effective date thereof, at
least thirty (30) days before the effective date of such termination. Upon termination,
Contractor shall be compensated only for those non -disputed Services that have been
adequately rendered to City, and Contractor shall be entitled to no further
compensation.
8.2 Termination by Contractor. Contractor may, by written notice to City,
terminate this Agreement based upon City's failure to timely cure a default under this
Agreement as provided herein. At least forty-five (45) days prior to termination,
Contractor shall provide City with a written notice specifying City's alleged default and
providing City with a forty-five (45) day period to cure the default. Should City timely
cure such default, the Agreement shall continue. Should City fail to timely or adequately
cure such default, Contractor may terminate this Agreement by issuance of written
notice to City.
SECTION 9. GENERAL PROVISIONS
9.1 Assignment or Transfer. Contractor shall not assign, hypothecate, or
transfer, either directly or by operation of law, this Agreement or any interest herein
without the prior written consent of the City. Any attempt to do so shall be null and void,
8
and any assignees, hypothecates or transferees shall acquire no right or interest by
reason of such attempted assignment, hypothecation or transfer.
9.2 Loss and Damage. Contractor shall be responsible for all loss and
damage which may arise out of the nature of the Services agreed to herein, or from the
action of the elements, or from any unforeseen difficulties which may arise or be
encountered in the prosecution of the Services until the same is fully completed and
accepted by City.
9.3 Liquidated Damages. The Parties agree that City has a legitimate
interest in ensuring that Contractor provides the Services (including performance of all
duties and responsibilities) required under this Agreement in a consistent and reliable
manner, and that Contractor's failure to timely provide such Services or to provide them
in an inadequate manner will cause City to suffer damages and that it is, and will be,
impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the exact amount of
damages or to calculate actual damages. Therefore, in addition to City's right to treat
such non-performance as a material breach of, and to terminate, this Agreement, the
Parties agree that liquidated damages, as provided herein, represent a reasonable
estimate of the monetary damages that reasonably could be anticipated and that proof
of actual damages would be costly or impractical. The Parties specifically confirm the
accuracy of the statements made above and the fact that each Party has had ample
opportunity to consult with legal counsel and obtain an explanation of the liquidated
damage provisions at the time that the Agreement was made. Therefore, in lieu of
actual damages, Contractor is subject to payment of $500 per failure to perform, per
day. City may, at its election. deduct any assessed liquidated damages from payment
due, or that will become due, to Contractor from City.
9.4 Excusable Delays. Contractor shall not be liable for damages, including
liquidated damages, if any, caused by delay in performance of failure to perform due to
causes beyond the control of Contractor. Such causes include, but are not limited to,
acts of God, acts of the public enemy, acts of federal, state or local governments, acts
of City, court orders, fires, floods, epidemics, strikes, embargoes, and unusually severe
weather. The term and price of this Agreement shall be equitably adjusted for any
delays due to such causes.
9.5 Cooperation; Further Acts. The Parties shall fully cooperate with one
another, and shall take any additional acts or sign any additional documents as may be
necessary, appropriate or convenient to attain the purposes of the Agreement.
9.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and
governed according to the laws of the State of California. In the event of litigation
between the Parties, venue in state trial courts shall lie exclusively in the County of Los
Angeles. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in
the Central District of California, located in Los Angeles, California.
9.7 Integration. This Agreement, including the attached Exhibits "A" through
"F", is the entire, complete, final and exclusive expression of the Parties with respect to
9
the matters addressed therein and supersedes all other agreements or understandings,
whether oral or written, or entered into between Contractor and City prior to the
execution of this Agreement. No statements, representations or other agreements,
whether oral or written, made by any party which are not embodied herein shall be valid
and binding.
9.8 Severability. If a term, condition or covenant of this Agreement is
declared or determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby
and the Agreement shall be read and construed without the invalid, void or
unenforceable provision(s).
9.9 Prohibited Interests. Contractor represents and warrants that it has not
employed nor retained any company or person, other than a bona fide employee
working solely for Contractor, to solicit or secure this Agreement. Further, Contractor
warrants that it has not paid nor has it agreed to pay any company or person, other than
a bona fide employee working solely for Contractor, any fee, commission, percentage,
brokerage fee, gift or other consideration contingent upon or resulting from the award or
making of this Agreement.
9.10 Amendments. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement shall
be valid unless made in writing and approved by Contractor and City. The City
Manager shall have the authority to approve any amendment to this Agreement if the
total compensation under this Agreement, as amended, would not exceed the City
Manager's contracting authority under the Temple City Municipal Code. All other
amendments shall be approved by the City Council. The Parties agree that the
requirement for amendments or modifications to be in writing cannot be waived and that
any attempted waiver shall be void.
9.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. There are no intended third party
beneficiaries of any right or obligation assumed by the Parties.
9.12 Delivery of Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given under
this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given to the respective Parties at the
addresses listed in Exhibit "D", or at such other address as the respective Parties may
provide in writing for this purpose. Such notice shall be deemed made when personally
delivered or when mailed, forty-eight (48) hours after deposit in the U.S. Mail, first class
postage prepaid and addressed to the party at its applicable address. Actual notice
shall be deemed adequate notice on the date actual notice occurred, regardless of the
method of service.
9.13 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the Parties.
9.14 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 or any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall
10
not constitute a waiver of any other provision, nor a waiver of any subsequent breach or
violation of any provision of this Agreement. Acceptance by City of any Services by
Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
