{01000969.DOCX 5 } Page 10
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section, pursuant to the requirements set forth in Government Code Section 53243.2, if Manager is convicted of a crime involving an abuse of Manager’s office or position, all of the following shall apply: (a) if Manager is provided with administrative leave pay pending an investigation, Manager shall be required to fully reimburse City such amounts paid; (b) if City pays for the criminal legal defense of Manager (which would be in City’s sole discretion, as it is generally not obligated to pay for a criminal defense), Manager shall be required to fully reimburse City such amounts paid; and (c) if this Agreement is terminated, any severance pay related to the termination that Manager may receive from City shall be fully reimbursed to City or shall be void if not yet paid to Manager. For purposes of this Section, abuse of office or position means either: (i) an abuse of public authority, including, but not limited to, waste, fraud, and violation of the law under color of authority; or (ii) a crime against public justice.

15. Indemnification:

In accordance with and subject to California’s Government Claims Act, the City shall defend and indemnify the Manager against and for all losses sustained by the Manager in direct consequences of the discharge of Manager’s duties on the City’s behalf for the period of Manager’s employment. City shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify the Manager against any tort, professional liability claim or demand or other legal action, whether groundless or otherwise, arising out of an alleged act or omission occurring in the performance of Manager’s duties as the City Manager. The City will compromise and settle any such claim or suit and pay the amount of any settlement or judgment rendered thereon, as appropriate and determined by the City Council.

In the event the Manager is sued for damages arising out of the performance of Manager’s duties, the City shall provide defense counsel for the City Manager in such suit and indemnify Manager from any judgment rendered against Manager, provided that such indemnity shall not extend to any judgment for damages arising out of any willful wrongdoing. Said indemnification shall extend beyond termination of employment and the otherwise termination or expiration of this Agreement to provide protection for any such acts undertaken or committed in Manager’s capacity as City Manager, regardless of whether the notice of filing of a lawsuit occurs during or following employment with the City.

16. Conflict of Interest
Because of the duties and role of the Manager on behalf of the City and its citizenry, the Manager shall not, during the term of this Agreement, individually, as a partner, joint venturer, officer or shareholder, invest or participate in any business venture conducting business in the corporate limits of the City, except for stock ownership in any company whose capital stock is publicly held and regularly traded, without the prior approval of the City Council. For and during 102
{01000969.DOCX 5 } Page 11
the term of this Agreement, the Manager further agrees, except for a personal residence or residential property acquired or held for future use as Manager’s personal residence, not to invest in any other real estate or real property improvements within the corporate limits of the City, without prior consent of the City Council.

The Manager shall not engage in any business or transaction or have a financial or other personal interest or association, direct or indirect, which is in conflict with the proper discharge of official duties or would tend to impair independence of judgment or action in the performance of official duties. Personal, as distinguished from financial, interest includes an interest arising from blood or marriage relationships or close business, personal or political associations. This section shall not serve to prohibit independent acts or other forms of enterprise during those hours not covered by active City employment, providing such acts do not constitute a conflict of interest as defined herein or by applicable law.

The Manager shall also be subject to the conflict of interest provisions of the California Government Code and any conflict of interest code applicable to Manager’s City employment.

The City Manager is responsible for submitting to the City Clerk the appropriate Conflict of Interest Statements at the time of appointment, annually thereafter, and at the time of separation from the position.

17. Assistance in Litigation
Manager agrees that Manager will furnish information and proper assistance to the City as it may reasonably require with any litigation, arbitration or mediation in which it may become involved, either during or after termination or expiration of this Agreement. Manager further agrees that Manager will not discuss, reveal or convey any information or documents pertaining to the City to any person or entity, or attorney for or representative of any person or entity, with actual or potential claims adverse to the City except pursuant to duly issued legal process or as otherwise authorized by the City. Manager agrees to notify the City immediately upon receipt of any legal process or contact pertaining to the City.

that no other employment agreement, statement, or promise not contained in this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon either Party.

20. Effect of Waiver:

The failure of either Party to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Agreement by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of that term, covenant, or condition, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment of any right or power at any one time or times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of that right or power for all or any other times.

21. Partial Invalidity:

If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be deemed severable and continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

22. Attorney’s Fees:

If either Party brings any action or proceeding against the other, including but not limited to, an action to enforce or to declare the termination, cancellation or revision of the Agreement, the prevailing Party in such action or proceedings shall be entitled to receive from the other Party all reasonable attorney's fees and costs, incurred in connection therewith.

7. It is understood and agreed that this is a compromise settlement of potential disputed claims, and the furnishing of the consideration for this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed as an admission of liability or responsibility at any time for any purpose regarding any matter covered by this Agreement. It is further agreed and understood that this compromise and Agreement are being entered into solely for the purpose of allowing the Parties to avoid the expense and inconvenience of bringing or defending against any and all potential claims, rights, demands, actions, obligations, liabilities, and causes of action referred to hereinabove.

8. The Parties acknowledge that they have carefully reviewed the Agreement and know what it contains and have entered into this Agreement voluntarily, without coercion and based on their own judgment and not in reliance on any representation or promises made by the other Parties other than those contained herein. This Agreement incorporates the entire understanding between the Parties and recites the sole considerations for the promises exchanged herein. The Parties have read this Agreement, and they are fully aware of its contents and of its legal effect.

9. Kennedy assumes full responsibility to state and federal taxing authorities for any tax consequences arising out of payments made or benefits provided to him under this Agreement.

10. Kennedy agrees that he will not make any false or otherwise defamatory statements about the Released Parties, including without limitation with respect to Kennedy’s employment with and separation from the City. Kennedy agrees that his breach of the terms and conditions set forth in this section is a material breach of this Agreement, such that the City will be irreparably 110
{01000969.DOCX 5 } Page 19
harmed as a matter of law and will be entitled to pursue its legal and equitable remedies, including without limitation the right to recover money damages and seek injunctive relief, plus reasonable attorneys’ fees, without limiting any other remedy it may have at law or equity.

11. Kennedy acknowledges that by reason of his position with the City, he has had access to trade secrets, proprietary information and confidential information pertaining to the Released Parties and the City’s elected and appointed officials, employees, customers, contractors and vendors (collectively “Confidential Information”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” includes without limitation, passwords, keys and other security information which may or may not be encrypted; personal information about past and present elected and appointed officials and employees of the City, such as addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, personnel files, evaluations and actions related to personnel matters, such as applications for employment, hiring, promotions, separations, disciplinary actions, requests for and utilization of leaves of absences, health and other benefits; personal health information (including information subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”)); and information related to past and present negotiations and bargaining positions of the City with the City’s contractors, vendors and represented and unrepresented employees and their bargaining representatives. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” does not include information: (i) that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by Kennedy or any party to whom Kennedy has disclosed such information, except for information that is or becomes generally available to the public through disclosure by Kennedy or any party to whom Kennedy has disclosed such information in the course and scope of Kennedy’s employment by the City; (ii) that is obtained by Kennedy on a non-confidential basis from a third party entitled to disclose such information. a. Kennedy represents, warrants and promises that he has returned to the City all documents and records containing Confidential Information or any other tangible Confidential Information in his possession, custody, or control, and he has not made or kept any hard or computerized copies, notes, abstracts, summaries, lists, tapes or other record of any type of Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “document” means any 111
{01000969.DOCX 5 } Page 20
written, computerized, typewritten, printed, or recorded material whatsoever, including, but not limited to, notes, lists, memoranda, letters, reports, business records publications, data compilations, and computer diskettes and files.
b. Kennedy represents, warrants and promises he has not used and will not use for his own benefit, or divulge to any other person, firm, corporation, or other entity, any of the Confidential Information which he has obtained or learned as a result of his employment relationship with the City, except in the course and scope of his employment by the City. c. Kennedy acknowledges and agrees (i) that any violation of this Section would cause immediate irreparable damage to the Released Parties and (ii) that determining the amount of damage caused to the Released Parties by any such violation would be extremely difficult or impossible. Kennedy therefore agrees that the Released Parties’ remedies at law are inadequate, and Kennedy consents to the issuance of injunctive relief after proper judicial proceedings, including, but not limited to, a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction, and a permanent injunction, by a court of appropriate jurisdiction in order to restrain any actual or threatened violation of this paragraph without limiting any remedy the Released Parties may have at law or in equity.

14. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, or duplicates of originals, all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

15. In the event that any part or provision of this Agreement is found to be illegal or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such findings shall not affect the remaining parts, portions, or provisions of this Agreement, which shall continue to remain in full force and effect.

16. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
