City is a municipal corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of California with the power to carry on its business as it is now being conducted under the statutes of the State of California and the Charter of City. B. City desires to engage Film Liaison to oversee, coordinate and manage the City's commercial film permitting process required by Chapter 5.46 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code ("NBMC") and the activities allowed by permits granted under NBMC Chapter 5.46 ("Project"). C. The Film Liaison possesses the skill, experience, ability, background, certification and knowledge to provide the professional services described in this Agreement. D. City has solicited and received a proposal from Film Liaison, has reviewed the previous experience and evaluated the expertise of Film Liaison, and desires to retain Film Liaison to render professional services under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed by and between the undersigned parties as follows: 1. TERM The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date, and shall terminate on June 30, 2024, unless terminated earlier as set forth herein. 2. SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED The Film Liaison shall diligently perform all the services described in the Scope of Services attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference and pursuant to NBMC Chapter 5.46 ("Services" or "Work"). City may elect to delete certain Services within the Scope of Services at its sole discretion. 3. TIME OF PERFORMANCE 3.1 Time is of the essence in the performance of Services under this Agreement and Film Liaison shall perform the Services in accordance with the schedule included in Exhibit A. In the absence of a specific schedule, the Services shall be performed to completion in a diligent and timely manner. The failure by Film Liaison to strictly adhere to the schedule set forth in Exhibit A, if any, or perform the Services in a diligent and timely manner may result in termination of this Agreement by City. 3.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Film Liaison shall not be responsible for delays due to causes beyond Film Liaison's reasonable control. However, in the case of any such delay in the Services to be provided for the Project, each party hereby agrees to provide notice within two (2) calendar days of the occurrence causing the delay to the other party so that all delays can be addressed. 3.3 Film Liaison shall submit all requests for extensions of time for performance in writing to the Project Administrator as defined herein not later than ten (10) calendar days after the start of the condition that purportedly causes a delay. The Project Administrator shall review all such requests and may grant reasonable time extensions for unforeseeable delays that are beyond Film Liaison's control. 3.4 For all time periods not specifically set forth herein, Film Liaison shall respond in the most expedient and appropriate manner under the circumstances, by hand -delivery or mail. 4.

City agrees the Film Liaison is entitled to collect, prior to issuance of a City film permit, all amounts due to the Film Liaison from the permit applicant; however, the Film Liaison shall pay all City Fees to City when due regardless of whether the Film Liaison collects City Fees from the permit applicant.

If Film Liaison fails to pay the City Fees to City within ten (10) calendar days of the date due under this Agreement, any such unpaid City Fees shall be delinquent and accrue Interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) until paid. The Film Liaison's failure FilmL.A., Inc. Page 2 to pay City Fees to City when due is a material breach of this Agreement and an event of default. The Film Liaison shall maintain adequate records and accounts in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles to support its payments to City of City Fees. City may inspect and audit the Film Liaison's records at any time upon reasonable written notice from City's Project Administrator to the Film Liaison's Project Manager. The Film Liaison's failure to maintain adequate documentation or willful failure to comply with the City's audit or inspection requests shall be a material breach of this Agreement and an event of default. 5. FILM LIAISON FEES The Film Liaison may charge permit applicants a fee for any service the Film Liaison provides in connection with this agreement. A list of the Film Liaison's current fee schedule is attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference. The City is currently reviewing it City Fees and depending on the outcome of its fee study the parties may negotiate different fees for Exhibit B.

STANDARD OF CARE 9.1 All of the Services shall be performed by Film Liaison or under Film Liaison's supervision. Film Liaison represents that it possesses the professional and technical personnel required to perform the Services required by this Agreement, and that it will perform all Services in a manner commensurate with community professional standards and with the ordinary degree of skill and care that would be used by other reasonably competent practitioners of the same discipline under similar circumstances.

Nothing in this indemnity shall be construed as authorizing any award of attorneys' fees in any action on or to enforce the terms of this Agreement.
