(collectively, "Contractor"), both California corporations. The City and Contractor are hereby collectively referred to as the "Parties." Recitals
A. The Legislature of the State of California, by enactment of the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 ("AB 939"), has declared that it is in the public interest to authorize and require local agencies to make adequate provision for Solid Waste Collection within their jurisdictions.

B. The State of California has found and declared that the amount of refuse generated in California, coupled with diminishing Disposal capacity and potential adverse environmental impacts from landfilling and the need to conserve natural resources, have created an urgent need for State and local agencies to enact and implement an aggressive integrated waste management program. The State has, through enactment ofAB 939 and subsequent related legislation including, but not limited to: the Jobs and Recycling Act of 2011 (AB 341), the Event and Venue Recycling Act of 2004 (AB 2176), SB 1016 (Chapter 343, Statutes of 2008 [Wiggins, SB 1016]), the Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling Act of2014 (AB 1826), and the Short-Lived Climate Pollutants Bill of 2016 (SB 1383), directed the responsible State agency, and all local agencies, to promote Diversion and to maximize the use of feasible waste reduction, re-use, Recycling, and Composting options in order to reduce the amount of refuse that must be Disposed; and,
C. SB 1383 establishes regulatory requirements for jurisdictions, Generators, haulers, Solid Waste facilities, and other entities to support achievement of State-wide Organic Waste Disposal reduction targets; and,
D. SB 1383 requires the City to implement Collection programs, meet Processing Facility requirements, conduct contamination monitoring, provide education, maintain records, submit reports, monitor compliance, conduct enforcement, and fulfill other requirements; and, the City has chosen to delegate some of its responsibilities to the Contractor, acting as the City's designee, through this Agreement; and,
E. Pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 40059(a)(l), the City Council of the City has determined that the public health, safety, and welfare require that an exclusive franchiseagreement be awarded to a qualified Solid Waste enterprise forthe Collection of Solid Waste, Recyclable, and Organic Materials within the City Limits.

City of Huntington Beach Amendment 1
F. City previously approved a Refuse Collection and Disposal Services Franchise Agreement with Contractor on or about February 5,1990, which was Revised and Restated on or about July 17, 2006 (the "Original Agreement"). It is the desire of the Parties, to enter this First Amendment, for the purpose of setting forth their agreements and understandings with respect to amendments to the OriginalAgreement to address the requirements of SB 1383, while leaving all other aspects of the OriginalAgreement unchanged.

G. The Original Agreement, as amended by this First Amendment, are collectively referred to herein as "the Agreement".

H. The City declares its intent to approve and maintain reasonable Rates for the Collection, Recycling, Processing, Composting, and/or Disposal of Recyclable Materials, Organic Materials, and Solid Waste

("RCRA"), and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (42 USC Section 9601 et seq.) ("CERCLA"). City and Contractor desire to leave no doubts as to their respective roles, and to memorialize that by entering into this Agreement, City is not thereby becoming an "arranger" or a "generator" as thoseterms are used in CERCLA, and that it is Contractor, not City, who is "arranging for" the Collection, Transport for Disposal, Composting, Processing, and Recycling of municipal Solid Waste in the City which may contain Hazardous Waste as defined in Exhibit A. City and Contractor understand and agree that it is Contractor, and not City, who will arrange to Collect Solid Waste, that City has not, and, by this Agreement does not, instruct Contractor on its Collection methods, nor supervise the Collection Process, nor do the Parties intend to place title to such Solid Waste in City, but rather intend that whatever, if any, title in and to such Solid Waste that otherwise might exist in or with City in the absence of this Agreement is herebytransferred to Contractor, and further that if Contractor gains title to such Solid Waste it is by operation of law and agreement with its Customers and is not the result of this Agreement. By entering this Agreement City and Contractor further desire to confirm that Contractor has agreed to indemnify the City in connection with any claims relating to the inadvertent or intentional Collection, Transportation and/or disposal of Hazardous Waste that may occur in connection with Contractor's performance under this Agreement.

J. Contractor has agreed, as part of this First Amendment, to provide such services as are necessary or desirable to ensure City complies with the requirements of AB 939, SB 1383, and other current or future Federal, State, or local regulations, as amended.

K. City desires, among other things, to ensure adequate landfills remain available to meet the public's need for the safe handling, Processing, and Disposal of Solid Waste, and further desires toensure its citizens do not incur undue costs in safely Disposing of Solid Waste they generate, and has thus entered into the County Agreement. Contractor has agreed, as part of this Agreement, to provide suchservices and take such actions as are necessary or desirable to ensure City complies with its obligationspursuant to the County Agreement.

The text of Section 9 of the Original Agreement is hereby deleted and Section 9 of the Original Agreement is hereby revised in its entirety to read as follows:9. Labor Relations, Liquidated Damages, and Excuse from Performance A. Labor Relations
Contractor shall, at all times during the term of this Agreement, abide by all laws and regulations of theState of California regarding the employment of labor.

B. Liquidated Damagesi. General. It is the intent and desire of the Parties to work together to avoid the imposition of liquidated damages, and accordingly City will timely communicate to Contractor any information that it receives regarding the Collection services which might give rise the imposition of liquidated damages in order to facilitate Contractor's ability to correct any alleged deficiency, or to prevent the recurrence of any conduct for which liquidated damages might eventually be imposed. City and Contractor shall meet regularly on a monthly basis or more frequently as the Parties mayagree regarding the Collection services, and to discuss operational aspects of services delivery, including without limitation any City or Customer Complaints, or Customer questions reported to City regarding Contractor's performance of the Collection services. The purpose of the recurring meeting is to provide for close coordination between Contractor and the City regarding the delivery of the Collection services, and for any Service-related Complaints or concerns to be timely conveyed to Contractor in order for Contractor to be able to address or correct any reported deficiency. City shall also notify Contractor regarding any instances of Contractor's failure to First Amendment Page x City of Huntington Beach
City of Huntington Beach Amendment 1
generally adhere to or comply with the requirements of this Agreement as part of the monthly meeting protocol. The City will not assess any Liquidated Damages for actions or events which occurred prior to the execution of this First Amendment.

Impracticability of Ascertaining Damages. The Parties find that as of the time of the execution of this First Amendment, it is impractical, if not impossible, to reasonably ascertain the extent of damages which shall be incurred by City as a result of a breach by Contractor of its obligations under this Agreement. The factors relating to the impracticability of ascertaining damagesinclude, but are not limited to, the fact that: (i) substantial damage results to members of thepublic who are denied services or denied quality or reliable service; (ii) such breaches cause inconvenience, anxiety, frustration, and deprivation of the benefits of the Agreement to individual members of the general public for whose benefit this Agreement exists, in subjective ways and in varying degrees of intensity which are incapable of measurement in precise monetary terms; (iii) that exclusive services might be available at substantially lower costs than alternative services andthe monetary loss resulting from denial of services or denial of quality or reliable services is impossible to calculate in precise monetary terms; and, (iv) the termination of this Agreement for such breaches, and other remedies are, at best, a means of future correction and not remedieswhich make the public whole for past breaches. ii. Noticing Requirements. Prior to assessing Liquidated Damages, City shall give Contractor notice of its intention to do so. The notice will include a brief description of the incident(s)/nonperformance. Contractor may review (and make copies at its own expense) all information in the possession of City relating to incident(s)/non-performance. Contractor may, within ten (10)days after receiving the notice, request a meeting with City. Contractor may present evidence in writingand through testimony of its employees and others relevant to the incident(s)/non-performance.City will provide Contractor with a written explanation of the City Manager's determination oneach incident(s)/non-performance prior to authorizing the assessment of Liquidated Damages.

The decision of City shall be final, subject to judicial review. Liquidated Damages will only be assessed after Contractor has been given the opportunity but failed to rectify, in a timely manner, the breach as described in this First Amendment however Contractor will not be provided the opportunity to rectify those breaches identified under Sections 9(B).iii.l.b, 9(B)iii.3.a, and9(B).iii.3.d because it would not be possible to rectify these breaches in a timely manner after thestated period for correction has passed. iii. Service Performance Standards; Liquidated Damages for Failure to Meet Standards. Parties further acknowledge that consistent, reliable Collection services are of utmost importance to City and that City has considered and relied on Contractor's representations regarding its quality-ofservice commitment in entering into this First Amendment with the Contractor.. The Parties recognize that some quantified standards of performance are necessary and appropriate to ensure consistent and reliable service and performance. The Parties further recognize that ifContractor fails to achieve the performance standards or fails to submit required documents in a timely manner, City and its residents and businesses will suffer damages, and that it is, and will be, impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the exact amount of damages which City will suffer. Therefore, without prejudice to City's right to treat such non-performance as an event of default under this Section 9(B), the Parties agree that subject to the provisions of Section 9(8).i of this First Amendment, the Liquidated Damages amounts established in thisSection 9(B) of this First Amendment and the Liquidated Damage amounts therein represent a reasonable estimate of the amount of such damages considering all of the circumstances existing First Amendment Page xi City of Huntington Beach
City of Huntington Beach Amendment 1
on the Effective Date of this First Amendment, including the relationship of the sums to the rangeof harm to City that reasonably could be anticipated and the anticipation that proof of actualdamages would be costly or impractical.

The increase or decrease in the Collection component index will be for the change in the average annual published index for the twelve (12) month period ending December prior to the July 1 when the Rate change will take effect.

The Disposal component will be based on the actual percentage change in the gate rates atthe OC Waste & Recycling Landfill System, as set by Orange County as of July 1 of each Rate Period.

2. Step Two. For the first-Rate adjustment, cost components are weighted as listed in Section ll(B).iv.2.A. For subsequent Rate adjustments, the relative weights of the Collection andDisposal cost components will be determined in Step Four of the prior year's Rate adjustment as shown in Exhibit E-l.

First Amendment Page xx City of Huntington Beach
CityofHuntington Beach Amendment 1
Multiply the percentage changes for the Collection and Disposal cost components, as determined in Step One, by that component's weighting as a percentage of total cost, tocalculate the total weighted percent change.

3. Step Three. Add special Residential Rate adjustments as noted in Section ll(B).v, to the initial Rate for standard Cart service. The resulting Rate will serve as the existing maximum Rate for standard Cart service for use in step four.

4. Step Four. Multiply the total weighted percent change from Step Two by the existing maximum Residential service Rates to determine the increase or decrease in maximum Rates.

Add (subtract) the changes in Rates to (from) the existing maximum Rates to determine the new maximum Rates.

5. Step Five. Recalculate weightings for the following year based on these changes.

Add Commercial Solid Waste special Rate adjustments as noted in Section ll(B).v to the totalweighted percent change. The resulting total weighted percentage change will be used in stepthree.

3. Step Three. Multiply the total weighted percent change from Step Two by the existing maximum Residential service Rates and Commercial service Rates to determine the increase or decrease in maximum Rates. Add (subtract) the changes in Rates to (from) the existing maximum Rates to determine the new maximum Rates.

4. Step Four. Recalculate weightings for the following year based on these changes.

Multiply the percentage changes for the Collection and Disposal cost components, as determined in Step One, by that component's weighting as a percentage of total cost.

3. Step Three. Multiply the total weighted percent change from Step Two by the existing maximum Rates for Roll-Off Box service to determine the increase or decrease in maximumRates. Then add (subtract) the changes in Rates to (from) the existing maximum Rates to determine the new maximum Rates.

4. Step Four. Recalculate weightings for the following year based on these changes.

E. RATE ADJUSTMENT FOR OTHER SERVICES
