Page 3 Dui A AGREEMENT WITH CLEAR CHANNEL OUTDOOR FOR INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF ADVERTISING AND NON -ADVERTISING BUS SHELTERS THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of this PM day of ciAl2009 ("Effective Date"), by and between the CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, a Charter City and Municipal Corporation ("City"), and CLEAR CHANNEL OUTDOOR, INC., a Delaware corporation whose principal place of business is 19320 Harborgate Way, Torrance, California 90501 ("Contractor"), and is made with reference to the following: RECITALS A. 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. Contractor is an outdoor advertising company with operations in the United States, Canada and Latin America. Contractor is also a bus shelter provider to the City pursuant to an agreement dated September 9, 1996 (the "1996 Agreement"), and continues to maintain twenty (20) shelters in the City ("1996 Shelters"). C. At the direction of City Council, City issued a Request for Proposals on July 9, 2007 ("RFP"), in which proposals were sought from outdoor advertisers to install and maintain up to 27 new bus shelters at various locations in the City, some of which would contain advertising, and to replace the 1996 Agreement. Contractor responded to the RFP, and was selected by the City Council as the only responsive bidder. D. City desires to enter into this contract with Contractor to install and maintain the City's bus shelters, provide advertising revenues to the City and replace the 1996 Agreement (the "Project"). E. Contractor possesses the skill, experience, ability, background, certification and knowledge to provide the services described in this Agreement. F. City has solicited and received a proposal from Contractor, has reviewed the previous experience and evaluated the expertise of Contractor, and desires to retain Contractor to provide the 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 be for a period of five (5) years, commencing on the Effective Date, unless terminated earlier as set forth herein. Provided Contractor is not in default, Contractor may extend this Agreement for one (1) additional five (5) year term ("Extension"). Contractor must exercise this option by giving City written notice of its intention to do so at least three (3) months prior to the expiration of the original term. 2. TIME OF PERFORMANCE The parties agree that time is of the essence in performance of the services required under this Agreement. 3. COMPENSATION 3.1 Payment. For the term of this Agreement, Contractor shall pay to City Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) per month ("Shelter Fee") for the right to operate up to twenty-seven (27) bus shelters in the City. If Contractor exercises its option for the Extension pursuant to Section 1 above, then at the time the Extension takes effect, the Shelter Fee shall be adjusted in proportion to changes in the Consumer Price Index. Such adjustment shall be made by multiplying the original Shelter Fee by a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of the Consumer Price Index for the calendar month three (3) months preceding the calendar month for which such adjustment is to be made and the denominator of which is the value of the Consumer Price Index for the same calendar month immediately prior to the Effective Date. In no event shall the adjusted Shelter Fee be reduced below the Shelter Fee immediately preceding any adjustment. The "Consumer Price Index" to be used in such calculation is the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers (All Items), for the Los Angeles Anaheim Riverside Metropolitan Area, published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (1982 84 = 100). If both an official index and one or more unofficial indices are published, the official index shall be used. If said Consumer Price Index is no longer published at the adjustment date, it shall be constructed by conversion tables included in such new index. 3.2 New Shelters. This monthly Shelter Fee shall be increased by Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) for each advertising shelter added beyond the first twenty-seven (27) shelters. If an additional shelter is installed or 2 removed after the 1st of any month, the additional monthly fee of $200.00 shall be prorated for any month between the date of installation and the first of the following month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor shall not be required to provide, install or maintain more than an aggregate of twenty-seven (27) bus shelters in the City. 3.3 Late Fees. Contractor shall pay all fees on or before the 1st day of each month. If fees are not paid when due, then in addition to the fees, Contractor shall pay a late payment penalty in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the fee that was not timely paid. If Contractor fails to pay delinquent fees within thirty (30) days of the date due, Contractor shall pay a second late payment penalty in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the fee outstanding after such thirty -day period. The second late payment penalty shall be in addition to the first late payment penalty. In addition, Contractor shall pay interest on all unpaid fees at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or the legal rate allowed, whichever is greater. Interest shall be paid for all fees that remain unpaid after thirty (30) days from the date they were due. 3.4 City Generated Messages. Upon City's written request, but at locations determined by Clear Channel, up to twenty percent (20%) of the bus shelters may be used for City generated messages. These shelters shall be furnished, installed and maintained by Contractor and considered part of the consideration for this Agreement. 3.5 Ownership of Shelters. All shelters are the property of Contractor, and upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, shall be removed as provided in this Agreement. 4. PERMITS Contractor shall obtain separate permits from the City for each shelter installed. Such permits shall consist of a Public Works Encroachment Permit, a Building Permit, an Electrical Permit, and any other permit deemed necessary by City. Each shelter shall have displayed in a conspicuous place, the name of the Contractor and the shelter identification number. 5.

The locations of the bus shelters shall be chosen by the City, with the advice of Contractor. 7.2 Contractor agrees not to place or locate shelters in any area within the City's jurisdiction without the prior written approval of the City Manager or his or her designee. Contractor also agrees not to place or locate a shelter in any area without first obtaining a permit from the City. City may require Contractor to relocate bus shelters as the bus lines change, if there is higher than normal vandalism in that area, or upon complaints from the public. 8.

Contractor shall be responsible for installing the shelters per the "Bus Stop Safety and Design Guidelines" prepared by the Orange County Transportation Authority, dated March 2004, as it may be amended from time to time. 8.6 All components of the bus shelters must be fabricated of high quality, durable and vandal -resistant materials. Painted structures should have no less than a baked -on porcelain enamel finish or better. To the maximum extent feasible, all surfaces of the bus shelters that are accessible to the public must be graffiti resistant. Adequate illumination of shelters (average of vertical one foot candle) and adjacent sidewalk must be provided. 8.7 Contractor shall fumish and pay for all charges for electrical connections and the energy used and supplied to the shelters and shall indemnify the City against any and all costs and charges arising out of the use, maintenance, and construction thereof.

Contractor shall maintain a City of Newport Beach business license during the term of this Agreement. 6 10. SHELTER REMOVAIJRELOCATION 10.1 Contractor shall retain the right to remove any shelter upon thirty (30) days notice to City in the event the federal, state, municipal or other proper authorities should hereafter establish any rules, regulations or taxation which shall so restrict the location, construction, maintenance or operation of the shelters as to substantially diminish the value of said shelters for advertising purposes or which inhibits the ability of the shelter to generate advertising profits; or in the event of "chronic vandalism." "Chronic vandalism" shall be defined as damages inflicted to any individual shelter during any six (6) month period that requires cumulative expenditures for replacement and repair that exceed the original cost of construction and installation of the shelter. If Contractor's request to remove shelters pursuant to this Section 10.1 results in Contractor having less than 20 shelters in the City, the Shelter Fee shall, nevertheless, remain the same and shall not be prorated. 10.2 Subject to the cure provisions set forth in Section 25, in the event that City fails to receive notice of non -renewal of any required permit or insurance on or before thirty (30) days before the expiration date thereof, or in the event any required insurance is canceled and no evidence of equal coverage is filed with City on or before twenty (20) days prior to the expiration or cancellation date of any coverage required by this Agreement, or upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, Contractor agrees to remove immediately all of its shelters if requested by City. If Contractor fails to remove any shelter as required by this Section within thirty (30) days after notice to do so is mailed by City, City shall have the right to remove the shelters and Contractor agrees to pay City's costs for such removal and site restoration. 10.3 City reserves the right to require Contractor to remove any shelter if: (a) the shelter is not maintained as required in this Agreement; (b) the bus stop location is changed; (c) the shelter will interfere with the construction, maintenance or repairs of any public utility or public improvement; (d) there is higher than normal vandalism in that area; (e) there are complaints from the public regarding the shelter; or (f) any term of this Agreement or any permit issued to Contractor by City is violated. If Contractor fails to remove any shelter as required by this Section within thirty (30) days after notice to do so is mailed by City, City shall have the right to remove the shelters and Contractor agrees to pay City's costs for such removal and site restoration. 7 If City's request to remove shelters pursuant to this Section 10.3 results in Contractor having Tess than 20 shelters in the City, the Shelter Fee shall be prorated accordingly. In the event City requests relocation of a shelter, Contractor agrees to relocate the shelter at its own expense and restore the site to the satisfaction of the City. Relocation shall be completed within fifteen (15) calendar days after a new site is found by the City and Contractor has been notified in writing by the City. 10.4 Upon removal of any or all shelters, all materials shall be removed from the site, including, but not limited to, all wires. The site shall be restored to the condition as it existed prior to installation of the shelter, including complete restoration of any sidewalk upon which the shelter was located. Contractor agrees to be responsible for all costs involved in removing the shelter and restoring the site as required herein. 11. ADVERTISING City has legitimate government interests in avoiding the appearance of favoring any political candidate, ballot measure or related issue, and in not imposing objectionable, obscene, pomographic or adult oriented material upon a captive audience — those who use public transportation. City also has a legitimate government interest in avoiding material on its bus shelters that distracts or confuses motorists. Contractor desires to maintain a reputable and inoffensive advertising policy. Therefore, if City provides notice that any advertising is contrary to the interests stated herein, as determined by City, Contractor agrees to remove the advertisement. Inappropriate or offensive advertising shall include, but is not limited to, the following: (a) Advertising that is likely to confuse, distract, interfere, mislead, or conflict with any traffic control device or traffic circulation. Arrows or directions to a location shall be prohibited. In addition, no advertising, signs or devices shall be permitted in conjunction with the shelter which display the words "STOP", "DRIVE-IN", "DANGER", or any other word, phrase, symbol or character that may interfere with, mislead, or direct vehicular traffic. (b) Advertisements that contain or depict pornographic material, or adult material that is harmful to minors, or obscene matters as defined in California Penal Code Sections 311 through 312.5 inclusive, and as determined by a court. (c) Advertisement of alcoholic beverages, tobacco or other substances known to be health hazards. 8 (d) Political advertisements. (e) Symbols, images and language deemed offensive by the City. (f) Advertising or displays that contain rotating, revolving or flashing lighting devices or any other moving parts. (g) Advertising that promotes unsold bus shelter advertising space. (h) Any other advertising that is determined by the City, in its sole discretion, to not sufficiently comply with the City's Sign Code as codified in Newport Beach Municipal Code Section 20.67. Contractor shall remove any advertisement within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of verbal notice from City, with written notice to follow from the City. Should Contractor fail to remedy the situation within this time period, the City may elect to assume this responsibility and all City costs associated with the removal of inappropriate advertising shall be paid by Contractor. 12. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR It is understood that City retains Contractor on an independent contractor basis and Contractor is not an agent or employee of City. The manner and means of conducting the work are under the control of Contractor, except to the extent they are limited by statute, rule or regulation and the expressed terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute approval for Contractor or any of Contractor's employees or agents, to be the agents or employees of City. Contractor shall have the responsibility for and control over the means of performing the work, provided that Contractor is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Anything in this Agreement that may appear to give City the right to direct Contractor as to the details of the performance or to exercise a measure of control over Contractor shall mean only that Contractor shall follow the desires of City with respect to the results of the services. 13. HOLD HARMLESS To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City, its City Council, boards and commissions, officers, agents and employees (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims (including, without limitation, claims for bodily injury, death or damage to property), demands, obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses, judgments, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney's fees, disbursements and court costs) of every kind and nature whatsoever (individually, a Claim; collectively, "Claims"), which may arise from or in any manner relate (directly or indirectly) to any work performed or services provided under this Agreement (including, without limitation, defects in workmanship or materials and/or design defects [if the design originated with 9 Contractor]) or Contractor's presence or activities conducted on the Project (including the negligent and/or willful acts, errors and/or omissions of Contractor, its principals, officers, agents, employees, vendors, suppliers, Contractors, subcontractors, anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them or for whose acts they may be liable or any or all of them). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require Contractor to indemnify the Indemnified Parties from any Claim arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Nothing in this indemnity shall be construed as authorizing any award of attomey's fees in any action on or to enforce the terms of this Agreement. This indemnity shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by the Contractor. 14. INSURANCE Without limiting Contractor's indemnification of City, and prior to commencement of work. Contractor shall obtain, provide and maintain at its own expense during the term of this Agreement, a policy or policies of liability insurance of the type and amounts described below and in a form satisfactory to City.

The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by Contractor for City. ii. General Liability Coverage. Contractor shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage, including without limitation, contractual liability.

This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects to City, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers as respects to all claims, losses, or liability arising directly or indirectly from the Contractor's operations or services provided to City. Any insurance maintained by City, including any self -insured retention City may have, shall be considered excess 11 insurance only and not contributory with the insurance provided hereunder. iii. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company. iv. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against City, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers. v. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to City, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents or volunteers. vi. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits, by either party except after thirty (30) calendar days (10 calendar days written notice of non-payment of premium) written notice has been received by City. F. Timely Notice of Claims. Contractor shall give City prompt and timely notice of claim made or suit instituted arising out of or resulting from Contractor's performance under this Agreement. G. Additional Insurance. Contractor shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work. H. Insurance at Extension.

Any of the following shall be construed as an assignment: The sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Contractor, or of the interest of any general partner or joint venturer or syndicate member or cotenant if Contractor is a partnership or joint -venture or syndicate or cotenancy, which shall result in changing the control of Contractor. Control means fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power, or twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the assets of the corporation, partnership or joint -venture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor may assign or transfer the Agreement to an entity controlling, under common control with or controlled by Contractor. 12 16. SUBCONTRACTING The parties recognize that a substantial inducement to City for entering into this Agreement is the professional reputation, experience and competence of Contractor. Assignments of any or all rights, duties or obligations of Contractor under this Agreement will be permitted only with the express written consent of City. 17. CONFIDENTIALITY All Documents, including drafts, preliminary drawings or plans, notes and communications that result from the services in this Agreement, shall be kept confidential unless City authorizes in writing the release of information or otherwise required by law. 18. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNITY Contractor shall defend and indemnify City, its agents, officers, representatives and employees against any and all liability, including costs, for infringement of any United States letters patent, trademark, or copyright infringement, including costs, contained in Contractor advertising or other services or products provided under this Agreement. 19. RECORDS Contractor shall keep records and invoices in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement. Contractor shall maintain complete and accurate records with respect to the costs incurred under this Agreement and any services, expenditures and disbursements charged to City, for a minimum period of three (3) years, or for any longer period required by law, from the date of final payment to Contractor under this Agreement.

Contractor shall allow inspection of all work, data, Documents, proceedings and activities related to the Agreement for a period of three (3) years from the date of final payment to Contractor under this Agreement. 20.

Contractor shall have an immediate right to appeal to the City Manager or his/her designee 13 with respect to such disputed sums. Contractor shall be entitled to receive interest on any withheld sums at the rate of return that City earned on its investments during the time period, from the date of withholding of any amounts found to have been improperly withheld. 21. ERRORS AND OMISSIONS In the event of errors or omissions that are due to the negligence or professional inexperience of Contractor which result in expense to City greater than what would have resulted if there were not errors or omissions in the work accomplished by Contractor, the additional design, construction and/or restoration expense shall be borne by Contractor. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to limit City's rights under any other sections of this Agreement. 22. CITY'S RIGHT TO EMPLOY OTHER CONTRACTORS City reserves the right to employ other Contractors in connection with the Project. 23. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST Contractor or its employees may be subject to the provisions of the California Political Reform Act of 1974 (the "Act"), which (1) requires such persons to disclose any financial interest that may foreseeably be materially affected by the work performed under this Agreement, and (2) prohibits such persons from making, or participating in making, decisions that will foreseeably financially affect such interest. If subject to the Act, Contractor shall conform to all requirements of the Act. Failure to do so constitutes a material breach and is grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement by City.
