consecutive months after execution of this Agreement and within one hundred twenty (120)
consecutive calendar days after commencing work on PROJECT. It is expressly understood that
since time is of the essence in this Agreement, failure of DEVELOPER to perform the work within

Proceed within twenty (20) days of receipt of DEVELOPER's complete written notice, as set forth

In the event DEVELOPER wishes to expedite issuance of the Notice(s) to
Proceed, DEVELOPER may elect to furnish an independent qualified construction inspector at
DEVELOPER's sole cost and expense. DEVELOPER shall furnish appropriate documentation
-16-
234108
of the individual's credentials and experience to DISTRICT and CITY for review and if

DISTRICT and CITY shall review the individual's qualifications and experience and, upon
approval thereof, said individual, hereinafter called "DEPUTY INSPECTOR", shall be authorized
to act on DISTRICT's and CITY's behalf on all PROJECT construction and quality control
matters. If DEVELOPER's initial construction inspection deposit furnished pursuant to Section
I.3. exceeds ten thousand dollars ($10,000), DISTRICT shall refund to DEVELOPER up to eighty
percent (80%) of DEVELOPER's initial inspection deposit within forty-five (45) days of
DISTRICT's approval of DEPUTY INSPECTOR; however, a minimum balance of ten thousand
dollars ($10,000) shall be retained on account.
6. PROJECT construction work shall be on a five (5) day, forty (40) hour work
week with no work on Saturdays, Sundays or DISTRICT or CITY designated legal holidays,

shall make a written request for permission to DISTRICT and CITY to work the additional hours.
The request shall be submitted to DISTRICT and CITY at least seventy-two (72) hours prior to
the requested additional work hours and state the reasons for the overtime and the specific time
frames required. The decision of granting permission for overtime work shall be made by
DISTRICT and CITY, whose respective decisions can be given in at their sole discretion and shall
be final. If permission is granted by DISTRICT and CITY, DEVELOPER will be charged the
cost incurred at the overtime rates for additional inspection time required in connection with the
overtime work in accordance with Ordinance Nos. 671 and 749, including any amendments
thereto, of the County of Riverside, as well as CITY's applicable fee schedule and/or other related
ordinance or regulation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should DISTRICT agree to provide
-17-

inspection and management services to CITY pursuant to a request by CITY under Section II.11
and Section III.3, above, CITY can also agree to not require its consent under this section.

employees, agents and representatives, (individually and collectively
("CITY INDEMNITEES") from any liability, claim, damage,
proceeding or action, present or future, based upon, arising out of or in
any way relating to this Agreement, or DEVELOPER's (including its
officers, employees, subcontractors and agents) actual or alleged acts
or omissions related to this Agreement, DEVELOPER's performance
under this Agreement, or DEVELOPER's failure to comply with the
requirements of this Agreement, including, but not limited to: (a)
property damage; (b) bodily injury or death; (c) liability or damage
pursuant to Article 1, Section 19 of the California Constitution, the Fifth
Amendment of the United States Constitution or any other law,
ordinance or regulation caused by the diversion of waters from the
natural drainage patterns or the discharge of drainage within or from
PROJECT; or (d) any other element of any kind or nature whatsoever.
DEVELOPER shall defend, at its sole expense, including all costs and
fees (including but not limited to attorney fees, cost of investigation,
defense and settlements or awards), CITY INDEMNITEES with legal
counsel reasonably satisfactory to CITY in any claim proceeding or
action for which indemnification is required. If DEVELOPER fails to
meet its indemnification obligation, CITY shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to do so with counsel of their own choosing, with no
right of approval by DEVELOPER and, if it does, DEVELOPER shall
promptly pay CITY's full cost thereof, with payments made at least on
a monthly basis.
-20-

DEVELOPER's indemnification obligations as to CITY shall be
satisfied when DEVELOPER has provided to CITY a form of dismissal
regarding any liability for the claim, proceeding or action involved, and
CITY determines that the form of dismissal is adequate in their sole
and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DEVELOPER
shall enter into no settlement agreement or final resolution of any
pending claim covered under this subsection, without CITY's prior
written approval.
iii. Should DISTRICT and CITY fail to agree with the implementation of
this section, or if a pending claim pertains to only one of the two parties,
DEVELOPER shall be required to comply with this section as to
DISTRICT and CITY individually.
iv. The specified insurance limits required in this Agreement shall in no
way limit or circumscribe DEVELOPER's obligations to indemnify
and hold harmless DISTRICT INDEMNITEES and/or CITY
INDEMNITEES from third party claims.
V. In the event there is conflict between this section and California Civil
Code Section 2782, this section shall be interpreted to comply with
California Civil Code Section 2782. Such interpretation shall not
relieve DEVELOPER from indemnifying the Indemnities or CITY to
the fullest extent allowed by law.
8. DEVELOPER for itself, its successors and assigns hereby releases
DISTRICT, the County of Riverside and CITY (including their agencies, districts, special districts
and departments, their respective directors, officer, Board of Supervisors, elected and appointed
-21 -
234108
officials, employees, agents and representatives) from any and all claims, demands, actions, or
suits of any kind arising out of any liability, known or unknown, present or future, including but
not limited to any claim or liability, based or asserted, pursuant to Article I, Section 19 of the
California Constitution, the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, or any other law
or ordinance which seeks to impose any other liability or damage, whatsoever, for damage caused
by the discharge of drainage within or from PROJECT. Nothing contained herein shall constitute
a release by DEVELOPER of DISTRICT, or the County of Riverside, or their officers, agents and
employees from any and all claims, demands, actions or suits of any kind arising out of any
liability, known or unknown, present or future, for the negligent maintenance of DISTRICT
FACILITIES, after the acceptance of ownership, operation and maintenance of DISTRICT
FACILITIES by DISTRICT.
9. Any waiver by DISTRICT or by CITY of any breach of any one or more of
the terms of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent or other
breach of the same or of any other term hereof. Failure on the part of DISTRICT or CITY to
require exact, full and complete compliance with any terms of this Agreement shall not be
construed as in any manner changing the terms hereof, or estopping DISTRICT or CITY from
enforcement hereof.
10. This Agreement is to be construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of California. If any provision in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect
without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

subrogation, but this provision applies regardless of whether or not the CITY or DISTRICT has
received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer. However, the Workers'
Compensation policy shall be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation in favor of the DISTRICT
and CITY for all work performed by the DEVELOPER, its employees, agents, contractors and
subcontractors.
