force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.
Law and Arbitration
8.05. All disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement, the conduct of either party
in connection with this Agreement, and the relationship and rights of the parties
in connection with this Agreement, whether characterized as breach of contract,
tort, or otherwise (except for those requesting injunctive relief) shall be
determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Section.
The submittal of all matters to arbitration in accordance with the terms of this
Section is the sole and exclusive method, means and procedure to resolve any
and all claims, disputes or disagreements arising under this Agreement, except
for claims by either party which seek injunctive relief, which claims shall be
resolved by suit filed in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California, the
decision of which court shall be subject to appeal pursuant to applicable law.
The parties hereby irrevocably waive any and all rights to the contrary and shall
at all times conduct themselves in accordance with the terms of this Section,
relying on arbitration as the sole means of resolution of disputes. Arbitration of
all matters required to be arbitrated hereunder shall take place before a panel of
three retired judges of the Superior Court of the State of California (the
"Arbitrators") under the auspices of Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc.
("JAMS"). Such arbitration shall be initiated by the parties, or either of them,
within ten (10) calendar days after either party sends notice of a demand to
arbitrate (the "Arbitration Notice") to the other party and to JAMS. The Arbitration
Notice shall contain a description of the subject matter of the arbitration, the
dispute with respect thereto, the amount involved, if any, and the remedy or
determination sought. Each party shall select a retired judge from the JAMS
panel, and the two selected judges shall mutually agree on the third retired judge
from the JAMS panel. If one of the parties does not select a retired judge from
the JAMS panel within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of the Arbitration
Notice, JAMS will select the second judge, and the judge selected by JAMS and
the judge selected by the other party will select the third judge for the panel. The
third judge is to be selected within ten (10) calendar days following the selection
of the first two judges. The three judges will together serve as the Arbitrators.
The arbitration shall be conducted in Los Angeles, California. Any party may be
represented by counsel and/or other authorized representative. In rendering a
decision(s), the Arbitrators shall determine the rights and obligations of the
parties according to the substantive and procedural laws of the State of California
and the terms of this Agreement. The decision of the Arbitrators shall be based
Page 19 of 21
on the evidence introduced at the hearing and accompanied by a written
statement of decision as to each of the principal controverted issues. The
agreement of two of the three Arbitrators as to the resolution of the dispute shall
be a conclusive resolution. The Arbitrators shall deliver the written decision to
the parties within thirty (30) calendar days following the date of the selection of
the last of the Arbitrators. The decision shall be conclusive and binding, and it
may thereafter be confirmed as a judgment by the Superior Court of the State of
California, subject only to challenge on the grounds set forth in the
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1286.2. The validity and
enforceability of the decision of the Arbitrators is to be determined exclusively by
the California courts.
Attorney's Fees
8.06. In the event a dispute, claim or litigation arises regarding this Agreement, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable attorneys' fees
and actual costs, which may be set by the arbitrators or the court in the same
action or in a separate action brought for that purpose, in addition to any other
relief which is obtained.
8.07. Neither party shall be considered in default in any of its obligations under this
Agreement when a failure of performance shall be due to an uncontrollable force.
The term "uncontrollable force" shall mean any cause beyond the control of the
party affected, including, but not restricted to, flood, earthquake, storm, fire,
lightning, epidemic, war, riot, civil disturbance or disobedience, federal, state, or
municipal action, statute, ordinance, or regulation, embargoes of the United
States Government or any other government, which by exercise of due diligence
such party could not reasonably have been expected to avoid and by exercise of
due diligence has been unable to overcome. Either party rendered unable to
fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of an uncontrollable
force shall give written notice within five (5) business days of such fact to the
other party and shall exercise due diligence to remove such inability with all
reasonable dispatch.
8.08. Except as may otherwise be specifically provided herein, this Agreement may be
modified or amended only by a written document executed by both Contractor
and the City and approved as to form by the City Attorney.
8.09. The captions used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall in no
way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of the Agreement or any part
thereof.

Agreement shall be made, except in a formal written amendment signed by
Contractor and an authorized representative of the City, or in a written change
order. Contractor expressly waives all claims for compensation based upon
quantum merit, implied contract or oral contract. Each party represents and
warrants that it has read and fully familiarized itself with this Agreement, and that

Exhibits A, B and c, which are all attached. In the event of conflict between this
Agreement and any of the exhibits, including the Proposal, this Agreement shall
Page 18 of 21
prevail.
Partial Invalidity
8.04. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full
force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.
Law and Arbitration
8.05. All disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement, the conduct of either party
in connection with this Agreement, and the relationship and rights of the parties
in connection with this Agreement, whether characterized as breach of contract,
tort, or otherwise (except for those requesting injunctive relief) shall be
determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Section.
The submittal of all matters to arbitration in accordance with the terms of this
Section is the sole and exclusive method, means and procedure to resolve any
and all claims, disputes or disagreements arising under this Agreement, except
for claims by either party which seek injunctive relief, which claims shall be
resolved by suit filed in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California, the
decision of which court shall be subject to appeal pursuant to applicable law.
The parties hereby irrevocably waive any and all rights to the contrary and shall
at all times conduct themselves in accordance with the terms of this Section,
relying on arbitration as the sole means of resolution of disputes. Arbitration of
all matters required to be arbitrated hereunder shall take place before a panel of
three retired judges of the Superior Court of the State of California (the
"Arbitrators") under the auspices of Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc.
("JAMS"). Such arbitration shall be initiated by the parties, or either of them,
within ten (10) calendar days after either party sends notice of a demand to
arbitrate (the "Arbitration Notice") to the other party and to JAMS. The Arbitration
Notice shall contain a description of the subject matter of the arbitration, the
dispute with respect thereto, the amount involved, if any, and the remedy or
determination sought. Each party shall select a retired judge from the JAMS
panel, and the two selected judges shall mutually agree on the third retired judge
from the JAMS panel. If one of the parties does not select a retired judge from
the JAMS panel within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of the Arbitration
Notice, JAMS will select the second judge, and the judge selected by JAMS and
the judge selected by the other party will select the third judge for the panel. The
third judge is to be selected within ten (10) calendar days following the selection
of the first two judges. The three judges will together serve as the Arbitrators.
The arbitration shall be conducted in Los Angeles, California. Any party may be
represented by counsel and/or other authorized representative. In rendering a
decision(s), the Arbitrators shall determine the rights and obligations of the
parties according to the substantive and procedural laws of the State of California
Page 19 of 21
and the terms of this Agreement. The decision of the Arbitrators shall be based
on the evidence introduced at the hearing and accompanied by a written
statement of decision as to each of the principal controverted issues. The
agreement of two of the three Arbitrators as to the resolution of the dispute shall
be a conclusive resolution. The Arbitrators shall deliver the written decision to
the parties within thirty (30) calendar days following the date of the selection of
the last of the Arbitrators. The decision shall be conclusive and binding, and it
may thereafter be confirmed as a judgment by the Superior Court of the State of
California, subject only to challenge on the grounds set forth in the
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1286.2. The validity and
enforceability of the decision of the Arbitrators is to be determined exclusively by
the California courts.
Attorney's Fees
8.06. In the event a dispute, claim or litigation arises regarding this Agreement, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable attorneys' fees
and actual costs, which may be set by the arbitrators or the court in the same
action or in a separate action brought for that purpose, in addition to any other
relief which is obtained.
8.07. Neither party shall be considered in default in any of its obligations under this
Agreement when a failure of performance shall be due to an uncontrollable force.
The term "uncontrollable force" shall mean any cause beyond the control of the
party affected, including, but not restricted to, flood, earthquake, storm, fire,
lightning, epidemic, war, riot, civil disturbance or disobedience, federal, state, or
municipal action, statute, ordinance, or regulation, embargoes of the United
States Government or any other government, which by exercise of due diligence
such party could not reasonably have been expected to avoid and by exercise of
due diligence has been unable to overcome. Either party rendered unable to
fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of an uncontrollable
force shall give written notice within five (5) business days of such fact to the
other party and shall exercise due diligence to remove such inability with all
reasonable dispatch.
8.08. Except as may otherwise be specifically provided herein, this Agreement may be
modified or amended only by a written document executed by both Contractor
and the City and approved as to form by the City Attorney.
8.09. The captions used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall in no
way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of the Agreement or any part
thereof.
