Notwithstanding any other federal, state and local laws, codes, ordinances and regulations to the contrary and except for the fees paid to Contractor as provided in the Agreement, Contractor and any of its employees, agents, and subcontractors providing service under this Agreement shall not qualify for or become entitled to, and hereby agree to waive any claims to, any compensation, benefit, or any incident of employment by City, including but not limited to eligibility to enroll in PERS as an employee of City and entitlement to any contribution to be paid by City for employer contribution and/or employee contributions for PERS benefits. 10. PERS Eligibility Indemnification. In the event that Contractor or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Contractor providing services under this Agreement claims or is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of the City, Contractor shall Page 5 3 8 7 0 0 indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Contractor or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of City. 11. Interests of Contractor. Contractor (including principals, associates and professional employees) covenants and represents that it does not now have any investment or interest in real property and shall not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, in the area covered by this Agreement or any other source of income, interest in real property or investment which would be affected in any manner or degree by the performance of Contractor’s services hereunder. Contractor further covenants and represents that in the performance of its duties hereunder no person having any such interest shall perform any services under this Agreement. Contractor is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform Act because Contractor: a. will conduct research and arrive at conclusions with respect to his/her rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel independent of the control and direction of the City or of any City official, other than normal agreement monitoring; and b. possesses no authority with respect to any City decision beyond rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel. (FPPC Reg. 18700(a)(2).) 12. Professional Ability of Contractor. City has relied upon the professional training and ability of Contractor to perform the services hereunder as a material inducement to enter into this Agreement. Contractor shall therefore provide properly skilled professional and technical personnel to perform all services under this Agreement. All work performed by Contractor under this Agreement shall be in accordance with applicable legal requirements and shall meet the standard of quality ordinarily to be expected of competent professionals in Contractor’s field of expertise. 13. Compliance with Laws. a. Contractor shall comply with all local, state and federal laws and regulations applicable to the services required hereunder, including any rule, regulation or bylaw governing the conduct or performance of Contractor and/or its employees, officers, or board members. b. Contractor represents that it has obtained and will maintain at all times during the term of this Agreement all professional and/or business licenses, certifications and/or permits necessary for performing the services described in this Agreement, including a City business license. 14. Licenses. Contractor represents and warrants to City that it has the licenses, permits, qualifications, insurance and approvals of whatsoever nature which are legally required of Contractor to practice its profession. Contractor represents and warrants to City that Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in effect or obtain at all times during the term of this Agreement, any licenses, permits, insurance and approvals which are legally required of Contractor to practice its profession. Contractor shall maintain a City of Lake Elsinore business license. Page 6 3 8 7 0 0 15. Indemnity. Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Contractor shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Contractor from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Contractor acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration. 16. Insurance Requirements. a. Insurance.

Additional insureds shall be entitled to the full benefit of all insurance policies in the same manner and to the same extent as any other insureds and there shall be no limitation to the benefits conferred upon them other than policy limits to coverages. ii.
