-7-
55575.18100\41879930.1
Springs, at an adequate level for all of City's operating expenses. City promises to use its best
efforts to secure the necessary funding; however, if funding is substantially reduced Parties shall
enter into exclusive negotiations, for a ninety (90) day period from the effective date of notice of
the funding reduction or elimination, to modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement
consistent with the available funding. During this period, the Foundation may continue to use the

obligations required for operation of the Plaza Theatre operation, to the extent such costs exceed
funds available to City. In the event the Parties are unable to reach agreement on modified terms,

following the expiration of the negotiation period. In the event funding from the City of Palm
Springs is terminated, this Agreement shall terminate effective the date such funding ceases.

commercially reasonable time. Should the Foundation, during the term of this Agreement, make
any assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily or involuntarily be declared bankrupt
or file for protection under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Act, or if a receiver or liquidator shall
be appointed to administer the Foundation's affairs, such action by the Foundation shall be a
material breach of this Agreement, City shall give notice of such breach to the Foundation and
provide a commercially reasonable time for the Foundation to cure such default. If the default(s)
is not cured by the defaulting Party within the stated period, this Agreement may be terminated by
the non -breaching Party with a written notice of termination stating an effective date of not less
than ninety (90) days from the date of the notice. If the breaching Parry cures the default(s)
following notice of termination but prior to the effective date, the non -breaching Party may, in its
sole and absolute discretion and in writing, waive the notice of termination in which event this
Agreement shall be reinstated.
C. Rights and Obligations Upon Termination. On the effective date of termination of
this Agreement, the Foundation shall provide to City the following: 1) a list of any events
scheduled in the Plaza Theatre following the effective date of termination and copies of all signed
contracts for such events; 2) an inventory and possession of all furniture, fixtures and equipment
(FF&E) belonging to City; 3) documentation, acceptable to City, that there are no outstanding and
unpaid bills for utilities or other expenses payable by the Foundation under this Agreement.
Section VUL General Provisions.
A. Mutual Indemnification. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Party shall
indemnify and hold harmless the other Party, its officials, directors, officers, agents, employees,
representatives and subcontractors, and defend against all claims, damages, losses and expenses,

and obligations specified herein, caused by the negligence, omission or willful act of the Party, its

EXHIBIT B
REQUIRED INSURANCE
1. Insurance.
a. Insurance To Be Maintained By Foundation. Foundation shall procure
and maintain, at its sole cost and expense, the insurance described below. The insurance shall
be for the Term of this Agreement and includes any extensions, unless otherwise specified in
this Agreement. The insurance shall be procured in a form and content satisfactory to City.
The insurance shall apply against claims which may arise from Foundation's performance of
the Services and related work under this Agreement, including Foundation's agents,
representatives, or employees. In the event the City Manager determines that the work or
Services creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, Foundation agrees that the
minimum limits of the insurance policies may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written
notice from the City Manager. Foundation shall immediately substitute any insurer whose
A.M. Best rating drops below the levels specified in this Agreement. If any insurance is
written on a claims -made basis, such insurance shall be maintained for a minimum of three
(3) years subsequent to the expiration of this Agreement, or a three (3) year extended reporting
period endorsement shall be purchased. The minimum amount of insurance required shall be
as follows:
(1) Workers' Compensation. To the extent required by California
law, Foundation shall obtain and maintain, in full force and
effect throughout the Term of this Agreement, workers'
compensation insurance in at least the minimum statutory
amounts, in compliance with all other statutory requirements, as
required by the State of California. Foundation agrees to waive
and obtain endorsements from its workers' compensation insurer
waiving subrogation rights under its workers' compensation
insurance policy against the City and shall endeavor to use
commercially reasonable efforts to require each of its
subcontractors, if any, to do likewise under their workers'
compensation insurance policies.
(2) Crime Fidelity Coverage. At least $100,000.00 per occurrence
of coverage for (i) Foundation employee dishonesty; (ii) forgery
or alteration; (iii) theft, disappearance and destruction inside and
outside the Theatre; and (iv) robbery and safe burglary inside and
outside the Theatre.
(3) Commercial General Liability. Foundation shall obtain and
maintain, in full force and effect throughout the Term of this
Agreement, a policy of commercial general liability insurance
written on a per occurrence basis with a combined single limit of
at least four million dollars ($4,000,000.00) for bodily injury and
property damage including coverages for contractual liability,
personal injury, independent contractors, broad form property
damage, products and completed operations. Any combination
Exhibit B
55575.18100W 1879930.1
of primary and umbrella liability policies shall satisfy this
requirement.
(4) Employer's Liability Coverage. Foundation shall obtain and
maintain, in full force and effect throughout the Term of this
Agreement, a policy of employer's liability insurance written on
a per occurrence basis with a policy limit of at least one million
dollars ($1,000,000.00) for bodily injury or disease.
b. Deductibles and Self -Insured Retentions. Any deductibles or self -insured
retentions must be declared to and approved by the City Manager or his/her designee prior to
commencing any work or Services under this Agreement, such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld. Foundation guarantees payment of all deductibles and self -insured retentions.
C. Other Insurance Requirements. The following provisions shall apply to the
insurance policies required of Foundation under this Agreement:
(1) For any claims related to this Agreement, except for Crime and
Workers' Compensation/Employer's Liability, Foundation's
coverage shall be primary insurance with respect to the City and its
officers, council members, officials, employees, agents, and
volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City
and its officers, council members, officials, employees, agents, and
volunteers shall be in excess of Foundation's insurance and shall not
contribute with it.
(2) Commercial General Liability insurance coverage and limits
provided by Foundation and available or applicable to this
Agreement are intended to apply to each insured, including
additional insureds, against whom a claim is made or suit is brought
to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this
Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its
operations shall limit the application of such insurance coverage.
(3) Foundation agrees to require its commercial auto liability,
commercial general liability and workers' compensation insurers to
provide a notice of cancellation to the City Manager. Regarding all
other insurance policies, Foundation agrees to provide the City
Manager with thirty (30) days' notice of cancellation, except for ten
(10) days' notice of cancellation for non-payment of premium. It is
Foundation's obligation to ensure timely compliance with all
insurance submittal requirements as provided in this Agreement.
(4) Foundation agrees to endeavor to ensure, if commercially
reasonable, that subcontractors, and any other parties involved with
the scope of Management Services and related Work provided
pursuant to this Agreement, who are brought onto or involved by
Foundation, provide the same minimum insurance coverage
Exhibit B
55575. 1810041879930.1
required of Foundation. Foundation agrees to monitor and review
all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that
such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of
this section. Foundation agrees that upon request, all agreements
with subcontractors and others engaged in the performance of
services hereunder this Agreement will be submitted to the City for
review.
(5) Foundation acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged
failure on the part of the City to inform Foundation of non-
compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any
additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights in this
or any other regard.
(6) Foundation shall provide proof that policies of insurance required in
this Agreement, expiring during the Term of this Agreement, have
been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the
same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be
submitted prior to expiration. Endorsements as required in this
Agreement applicable to the renewing or new coverage shall be
provided to City prior to the policy expiration and/or renewal date.
(7) Requirements of specific insurance coverage features or limits
contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage,
limits, or other requirements, or as a waiver of any coverage
normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a
given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it
pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured
to be limiting or all-inclusive.
(8) The requirements in this section supersede all other sections and
provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or
provision conflicts with or impair the provisions of this section.
(9) Foundation agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim
or loss against Foundation arising out of the Services and related
work performed under this Agreement and for any other claim or
loss that may reduce the insurance available to pay claims arising
out of this Agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by
such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the
handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve
City, or to reduce or dilute insurance available for payment of
potential claims.
(10) Foundation agrees that the provisions of this Exhibit shall not be
construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the Foundation
may be held responsible for the payment of damages resulting from
Exhibit B
55575. 1810041879930.1
Foundation's activities or the activities of any person or person for
which Foundation is otherwise responsible.
d. Sufficiency of Insurers. Insurance required in this Agreement shall be
provided by authorized insurers in good standing with the State of California. Coverage shall be
provided by insurers admitted in the State of California with an A.M. Best's Key Rating of A-,
VII, or better, unless such requirements are waived in writing by the City Manager or his designee
due to unique circumstances.
e. Verification of Coverage. Foundation shall furnish City with both
certificates of insurance and endorsements, including additional insured endorsements, affecting
all of the coverages required by this Agreement. The certificates are to be signed by a person
authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. All proof of insurance is to be received
and approved by the City before Management Services commence. Additional insured
endorsements are not required for Errors and Omissions and Workers' Compensation policies.
Verification of Insurance coverage may be provided by: (1) an approved General and/or Auto
Liability Endorsement Form for the City of Palm Springs or (2) an acceptable Certificate of
Liability Insurance Coverage with an approved Additional Insured Endorsement with the
following endorsements stated on the certificate:
(1) "The City of Palm Springs, its officials, employees, and agents are
named as an additional insured..." ("as respects City of Palm
Springs Contract No._" or "for any and all work performed with
the City" may be included in this statement) for General and Auto
Liability policies.
(2) "This insurance is primary and non-contributory over any insurance
or self-insurance the City may have..." ("as respects City of Palm
Springs Contract No._" or 'for any and all workperformed with
the City" may be included in this statement) for General and Auto
Liability policies.
(3) "Should any of the above described policies be canceled before the
expiration date thereof, the issuing company will mail 30 calendar
days written notice to the Certificate Holder named."
(4) Both the Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability policies
shall contain the insurer's waiver of subrogation in favor of City, its
elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers.
In addition to the endorsements listed above, the City of Palm Springs shall
be named the certificate holder on the policies. All certificates of insurance and endorsements are
to be received and approved in writing by the City before Management Services commence. All
certificates of insurance must be authorized by a person with authority to bind coverage, whether
that is the authorized agent/broker or insurance underwriter. Failure to obtain the required
documents prior to the commencement of Services shall not waive Foundation's obligation to
provide them.

the insurance described below. The insurance shall be for the Term of this Agreement and includes
any extensions, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement. The insurance shall apply against
claims which may arise from OVG's performance of the Services and related work under this
Agreement, including OVG's agents, representatives, or employees. OVG shall immediately
substitute any insurer whose A.M. Best rating drops below the levels specified in this Agreement. If

of three (3) years subsequent to the expiration of this Agreement, or a three (3) year extended
reporting period endorsement shall be purchased. The minimum amount of insurance required shall
be as follows:

maintain, in full force and effect throughout the Term of this Agreement, workers'
compensation insurance in at least the minimum statutory amounts, in compliance with all
other statutory requirements, as required by the State of California. Foundation agrees to
waive and obtain endorsements from its workers' compensation insurer waiving subrogation
rights under its workers' compensation insurance policy against the City and shall endeavor
to use commercially reasonable efforts to require each of its subcontractors, if any, to do
likewise under their workers' compensation insurance policies.
2. Crime Fidelity Coverage. At least $100,000.00 per occurrence of coverage for (i)
OVG employee dishonesty; (ii) forgery or alteration; (III) theft, disappearance and
destruction inside and outside the Theatre; and (iv) robbery and safe burglary inside and

3. Commercial General Liability. OVG shall obtain and maintain, in full force and effect
throughout the Term of this Agreement, a policy of commercial general liability insurance
written on a per occurrence basis with a combined single limit of at least four million dollars
($4,000,000.00) for bodily injury and property damage including coverages for contractual
liability, personal injury, independent contractors, broad form property damage, products
and completed operations. Any combination of primary and umbrella liability policies shall

Compensation/Employers Liability, OVG's coverage shall be primary insurance with
respect to the Foundation/City and its officers, council members, officials, employees,
agents, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the
Foundation/City and its officers, council members, officials, employees, agents, and
volunteers shall be in excess of OVG's insurance and shall not contribute with it.
b. Commercial General Liability insurance coverage and limits provided by OVG and
available or applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to each insured,
including additional insureds, against whom a claim is made or suit is brought to the
full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other
agreement relating to the City or its operations shall limit the application of such
insurance coverage.
c. It is OVG's obligation to ensure timely compliance with all insurance submittal
requirements as provided in this Agreement.
d. OVG agrees to ensure, if commercially reasonable, that subcontractors, and any
other parties involved with the scope of Management Services and related Work
provided pursuant to this Agreement, who are brought onto or involved by OVG
provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of OVG. OVG agrees to
monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that
such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. OVG
agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in
the performance of services hereunder this Agreement will be submitted to the City
and Foundation for review.
e. OVG acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the
Foundation or City to inform OVG of non-compliance with any insurance requirement
in no way imposes any additional obligations on the City or Foundationnor does it
waive any rights in this or any other regard.
f. OVG shall provide proof that policies of insurance required in this Agreement,
expiring during the Term of this Agreement, have been renewed or replaced with
other policies providing at least the same coverage. Endorsements as required in this
Agreement applicable to the renewing or new coverage shall be provided to
Foundation and City prior to the policy expiration and/or renewal date.
g. Requirements of specific insurance coverage features or limits contained in this
section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits, or other requirements, or
as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference
to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given
issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.
h. The requirements in this section supersede all other sections and provisions of this
Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impair
the provisions of this section.
i. OVG agrees to provide immediate notice to Foundation/City of any claim or loss
against OVG arising out of the services and related work performed under this
Agreement and for any other claim or loss that may reduce the insurance available to
pay claims arising out of this Agreement. OVG assumes no obligation or liability by
such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such
-41-
55575. 18100'41838786.1
claim or claims if they are likely to involve Foundation/City, or to reduce or dilute
insurance available for payment of potential claims.
J. OVG agrees that the provisions of this Schedule shall not be construed as limiting in
any way the extent to which the OVG may be held responsible for the payment of
damages resulting from OVG's activities or the activities of any person or person for
which OVG is otherwise responsible.
Sufficiency of Insurers. Insurance required in this Agreement shall be provided by authorized insurers
in good standing with the State of California. Coverage shall be provided by insurers admitted in the
State of California with an A.M. Best's Key Rating of A-, VII, or better, unless such requirements are
waived in writing by the City Manager or his designee due to unique circumstances.
Verification of Coverage. OVG shall furnish City and Foundation with both certificates of insurance
and endorsements, including additional insured endorsements, affecting all of the coverages
required by this Agreement. The certificates are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer
to bind coverage on its behalf. All proof of insurance is to be received and approved by the
Foundation before services commence. Additional insured endorsements are not required for Errors
and Omissions and Workers' Compensation policies. Verification of Insurance coverage may be
provided by: (1) an approved General and/or Auto Liability Endorsement Form for the City of Palm
Springs or (2) an acceptable Certificate of Liability Insurance Coverage with an approved Additional
Insured Endorsement with the following endorsements stated on the certificate:
A. "The Foundation and City of Palm Springs, their officials, employees, and agents are
named as an additional insured..." ("as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No._" or
"for any and all work performed with respect to the City or Foundation" may be included
in this statement) for General and Auto Liability policies.
B. "This insurance is primary and non-contributory over any insurance or self-insurance the
Foundation or City may have..." ("as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No._" or 'for
any and all work performed with respect to the City or Foundation" may be included in
this statement) for General and Auto Liability policies.
C. Both the Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability policies shall contain the
insurer's waiver of subrogation in favor of the Foundation and City, their elected officials,
officers, employees, agents, and volunteers.
In addition to the endorsements listed above, the Foundation and City of Palm Springs shall be named
the certificate holder on the policies. All certificates of insurance and endorsements are to be
received and approved in writing by the Foundation/City before Management Services
commence. All certificates of insurance must be authorized by a person with authority to bind
coverage, whether that is the authorized agent/broker or insurance underwriter. Failure to obtain
the required documents prior to the commencement of Services shall not waive OVG's obligation to
provide them.
