4. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
CONTRACTOR is at all times an independent contractor pursuant to this Agreement and shall not, in any way, be considered to be an officer, agent or employee of ANAHEIM.
3 5. INDEMNIFICATION
CONTRACTOR agrees to indemnify and hold harmless ANAHEIM, its officials, officers, and employees from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, defense costs, or liability, of any kind or nature, directly arising out of the negligent acts, errors or omissions of the CONTRACTOR or any SUB-AGENT in the performance of professional services under this Agreement.

As respects all acts, errors or omissions that do not arise directly out of the performance of professional services, including but not limited to those acts, errors or omissions typically covered by general and automobile liability insurance, CONTRACTOR agrees to indemnify, defend (at ANAHEIM'S option), and hold harmless ANAHEIM, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and representatives from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, defense costs, or liability, of any kind or nature (collectively referred to hereinafter as "Claims"), arising out of or in connection with CONTRACTOR'S (or CONTRACTOR'S AGENT or SUB-AGENT, if any) acts, errors, omissions, or work, relative to this Agreement; except for those Claims that arise out of the sole negligence or willful misconduct of ANAHEIM.

The obligations set forth in this indemnification provision (i) shall be in effect without regard to whether or not ANAHEIM, CONTRACTOR, or any other person maintains, or fails to maintain, insurance coverage, or a self-insurance program, for any such Claims; and (ii) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

6. INSURANCE
Without limiting ANAHEIM'S right to indemnification, it is agreed that CONTRACTOR shall secure, prior to commencing any activities under this Agreement, and maintain, during the term of this Agreement, insurance coverage as follows:

Workers' Compensation Insurance as required by California law and Employers Liability Insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence/accident/illness/injury.
4 Commercial General Liability Insurance, including coverage for Premises and Operations, Contractual Liability, Personal Injury Liability, Products/Completed Operations Liability, as well as Independent CONTRACTOR'S Liability where appropriate, in an amount not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence, $4,000,000 annual aggregate, written on an occurrence form. Such insurance shall be written on a primary basis but may include a deductible or self- insured retention of more than $10,000 per occurrence, provided that such deductible or self- insured retention is disclosed to ANAHEIM, in writing, at the inception of this Agreement.

Commercial Automobile Liability Coverage including—as applicable—owned, non-owned, and hired autos, in an amount not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence, combined single limit, as required by California law.

Any required coverage written with primary and excess layers to satisfy the minimum requirements of this Agreement must be submitted for approval by ANAHEIM' s Risk Manager prior to the inception of the final Agreement.

CONTRACTOR agrees that this insurance shall not be voluntarily cancelled by CONTRACTOR or limited in scope or coverage by CONTRACTOR until after thirty (30) days prior written notice has been given to the City Clerk, City of Anaheim, 200 S. Anaheim Blvd., Anaheim, CA 92805. This does not apply to cancellation for non-payment of premium, which requires notice of not less than ten (10) days.

Each insurance policy required by this Agreement, except for Workers' Compensation, shall contain the following clauses or shall otherwise provide for the following conditions:
"It is agreed that any insurance maintained by CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement shall be primary to, and not contribute with, any insurance or self- insurance maintained by the City of Anaheim."
"The City of Anaheim, its officers, agents, employees, representatives and ANAHEIM- designated volunteers are added as additional insured as respects the acts, omissions, operations and activities of, or on behalf of, the named insured, in regard to products supplied to, or work or services performed for, or related to, the City of Anaheim." 5 Prior to commencing any work under this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall deliver to ANAHEIM insurance certificates confirming the existence of the insurance required under this Agreement, and including the applicable clauses referenced above. Also, within thirty (30) days of the execution date of this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall provide ANAHEIM (i) endorsements to the insurance policies that add to these policies the applicable clauses referenced above, or (ii) in lieu of said endorsements, documentation acceptable to ANAHEIM evidencing that the coverage, terms, and conditions set forth in the above-referenced clauses are otherwise included in said insurance policies. Insurance required hereunder shall be placed with insurers (i) admitted to write insurance in California, (ii) possessing an A. M Best's rating of A VII or higher, or (iii) otherwise acceptable to ANAHEIM, with prior written permission from ANAHEIM. In the event that a claim or other legal action is filed against ANAHEIM, and if ANAHEIM, in its good faith opinion, believes it may have coverage under any of the insurance required herein, then ANAHEIM has the right to demand, and to receive within a reasonable time period, copies of the insurance policies related to such required insurance; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply if the parties agree that CONTRACTOR shall fully defend, hold harmless, and indemnify ANAHEIM against any such claim or other legal action.

In addition to other remedies ANAHEIM may have if CONTRACTOR fails to provide or maintain any insurance policies or policy endorsements to the extent and within the time herein required, ANAHEIM may, at its sole option:

Order CONTRACTOR to stop work under this Agreement and/or withhold any payment(s) that become due to CONTRACTOR hereunder until CONTRACTOR demonstrates compliance with the requirements hereof;
Terminate this Agreement.

Exercise of any of the above remedies, however, is an alternative to other remedies ANAHEIM may have and is not the exclusive remedy for CONTRACTOR'S failure to maintain insurance or secure appropriate endorsements.

Nothing herein contained shall be construed in any way as limiting the extent that an CONTRACTOR may be held responsible for payments of damages to persons or 6 property resulting from CONTRACTOR'S, (or CONTRACTOR'S AGENT or SUB-AGENT, if any) performance of the work covered under this Agreement.

In the event CONTRACTOR hires other persons or firms to perform some of the work related to this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall ensure (i) that the acts or omissions of such persons or firms are covered under the above-referenced liability insurance, or (ii) that such firms maintain insurance equal to or better than, and subject to the same limits, terms and conditions as, the insurance required of CONTRACTOR under this Agreement (except for firms that are not performing professional services—such firms shall not be required to carry the above-referenced professional liability insurance); and in either instance, CONTRACTOR shall provide, or cause to be provided, evidence of such insurance coverage, reasonably acceptable to ANAHEIM.

ANAHEIM'S Risk Manager is hereby authorized to amend the requirements set forth herein in the event that such reduction is in ANAHEIM'S best interest.

7. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This writing constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all oral or written representations, or written agreements, which may have been entered into between the parties. No modifications or revisions shall be of any force or effect, unless the same is in writing, and executed by the parties hereto.

8. ASSIGNMENT
Neither CONTRACTOR nor ANAHEIM may assign or transfer this Agreement, or any part thereof, without the written consent of the other party.
