STATUS OF CONTRACTOR Contractor will perform the Services in Contractor's own way as an independent contractor and in pursuit of Contractor's independent calling, and not as an employee of City. Contractor will be under the control of City only as to the result to be accomplished, but will consult with City as necessary. The persons used by Contractor to provide services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of City for any purposes. The payment made to Contractor pursuant to this Agreement will be the full and complete compensation to which Contractor is entitled. City will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors. City will not be required to pay any workers' compensation insurance or unemployment contributions on behalf of Contractor or its employees or subcontractors. Contractor agrees to indemnify City within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement contribution, social security, overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers' compensation payment which City may be required to make on behalf of Contractor or any agent, employee, or subcontractor of Contractor for work done under this Agreement. At City’s election, City may deduct the indemnification amount from any balance owing to Contractor. 7. SUBCONTRACTING Contractor will not subcontract any portion of the Services without prior written approval of City. If Contractor subcontracts any of the Services, Contractor will be fully responsible to City for the acts and omissions of Contractor's subcontractor and of the persons either directly or indirectly employed by the subcontractor, as Contractor is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by Contractor. Nothing contained in this Agreement will create any contractual relationship between any subcontractor of Contractor and City. Contractor will be responsible for payment of subcontractors. Contractor will bind every subcontractor and every subcontractor of a subcontractor by the terms of this Agreement applicable to Contractor's work unless specifically noted to the contrary in the subcontract and approved in writing by City. 8. OTHER CONTRACTORS City reserves the right to employ other Contractors in connection with the Services. 9. INDEMNIFICATION Contractor agrees to defend (with counsel approved by City), indemnify, and hold harmless the City and its officers, elected and appointed officials, employees and volunteers from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses including attorneys fees arising out of the performance of the work described in this Agreement caused by any negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Contractor, any subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable. If Contractor’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and/or hold harmless arises out of Contractor’s performance as a “design professional” (as that term is defined under California Civil Code Section 2782.8), then, and only to the extent required by California Civil Code Section 2782.8, which is fully incorporated in this Agreement, Contractor’s indemnification obligation shall be limited to claims that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Contractor, and, upon Contractor obtaining a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction. Contractor’s liability for such claim, including the cost to defend, shall not exceed Contractor’s proportionate percentage of fault.

INSURANCE Contractor will obtain and maintain for the duration of the Agreement and any and all amendments, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise out of or in connection with performance of the services by Contractor or Contractor’s agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors.

If Contractor believes that any required insurance coverage is inadequate, Contractor will obtain such additional insurance coverage, as Contractor deems adequate, at Contractor's sole expense. The full limits available to the named insured shall also be available and applicable to City as an additional insured. 10.1.1 Commercial General Liability (CGL) Insurance.

Prior to City's execution of this Agreement, Contractor will furnish certificates of insurance and endorsements to City. 10.4 Failure to Maintain Coverage.

Then, we will share with all that other insurance by the method described in Paragraph 3 below. 2. Excess Insurance a.This insurance is excess over: (1)Any of the other insurance, whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis: (a)That is Fire, Extended Coverage, Builder’s Risk, Installation Risk or similar coverage for “your work”; (b)That is insurance that applies to “property damage” to premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner; or (c)If the loss arises out of aircraft, “autos” or watercraft to the extent not subject to Exclusion g. of Section II.B. Exclusions, 1. Applicable to Business Liability Coverage; or (2)Any other primary insurance available to you covering liability for damages arising out of the premises or operations for which you have been added as an additional insured. b.When this insurance is excess, we will have no duty to defend the insured against any “suit” if any other insurer has a duty to defend the insured against that “suit.” If no other insurer defends, we will undertake to do so, but we will be entitled to the insured’s rights against all those other insurers. c.When this insurance is excess over other insurance, we will pay only our share of the amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the sum of: (1)The total amount that all such other insurance would pay for the loss in the absence of this insurance; Docusign Envelope ID: E85F5DAD-FACC-4A39-BC2C-E65C1AECA686 BOP-47635a (07/16) Includes copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, with its permission, 2016.

Method of Sharing If all of the other insurance permits contribution by equal shares, we will follow this method also. Under this approach, each insurer contributes equal amounts until it has paid its applicable limit of insurance or none of the loss remains, whichever comes first. If any of the other insurance does not permit contribution by equal shares, we will contribute by limits. Under this method, each insurer’s share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance to the total applicable limits of insurance of all insurers. Q. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION REQUIRED BY CONTRACT In Section III – Common Policy Conditions, Paragraph K. Transfer of Rights of Recovery Against Others To Us, subparagraph 2.is replaced by the following: 2.Applicable to Businessowners Liability Coverage: We will waive the rights of recovery we would otherwise have had against another person or organization, for loss to which this insurance applies, provided the insured has waived their rights of recovery against such person or organization in a contract or agreement that is executed before such loss. To the extent that the insured’s rights to recover all or part of any payment made under this Coverage Part have not been waived, those rights are transferred to us. The insured must do nothing after loss to impair them. At our request, the insured will bring “suit” or transfer those rights to us and help us enforce them. This paragraph does not apply to Medical Expenses Coverage. All other terms and conditions of the policy remain unchanged. Docusign Envelope ID: E85F5DAD-FACC-4A39-BC2C-E65C1AECA686
