AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Darin Hendren, Chief of Police
DATE: 07/17/2024 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Municipal
Facility License Agreement with Flock Safety for Placement of
Automated License Plate Recognition Cameras on City Streetlight
Poles Funded by the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office via a Grant
Received from the California Organized Retail Theft Prevention Grant
Program and Making a Determination of Exemption under the
California Environmental Quality Act in Connection Therewith
SUMMARY
In September 2023, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office (VCSO) was awarded grant
funding by the California Organized Retail Theft (ORT) Prevention Grant Program to
combat and prevent ORT activity throughout Ventura County. In addition to personnel
costs, the grant also provided funding for the purchase of investigative tools and
resources. One tool in addressing ORT activity is the use of Automated License Plate
Reader (ALPR) cameras to aid in identifying vehicles associated to theft suspects.
ALPR’s capture photographs of vehicle license plates and can also categorize vehicles
by physical descriptions and unique features. The grant will pay for 100 ALPR cameras
that will be deployed at fixed locations throughout Ventura County, including Moorpark.
The use of ALPR technology is a valuable investigative tool that recently aided in the
identification and prosecution of ORT suspects in Moorpark. The addition of ALPR’s in
Moorpark will enhance Sheriff Deputies ability to hold law violators accountable for their
actions, thereby reducing the frequency of retail establishments in Moorpark being
victimized by ORT groups.
BACKGROUND
In November 2014, California voters approved Proposition 47, which among other
things increased the value for misdemeanor theft from less than $400 to less than $950.
The minimum value for felony theft was increased from a minimum of $400 to a
minimum of $950. Proposition 47 also removed Penal Code Section 666 – Petty theft
Item: 9.C.

with a prior, which allowed for the felony prosecution of a misdemeanor theft suspect if
the suspect had a previous theft-related conviction.
The increased threshold for felony theft and the removal of Penal Code 666, have
contributed to an increase in retail thefts from retail establishments since the passage of
Proposition 47. In Ventura County, victims suffer approximately $10 million yearly loss
related to organized retail thefts, vehicle and vehicle part thefts, and cargo thefts.
In September 2023, the VCSO was awarded grant funding from the California Retail
Theft Prevention Grant Program. The grant covers the period beginning October 1,
2023, and ending June 1, 2027. . The award of the grant formalizes a large-scope,
coordinated effort involving all law enforcement agencies in Ventura County to prevent
and combat organized retail thefts, vehicle and vehicle part thefts, and cargo thefts.
The grant funding allowed for the creation of the Ventura County Organized Retail Theft
Task Force (VCORTTF) that is comprised of one Ventura County Sheriff’s Sergeant,
one Port Hueneme Police Department Sergeant, four Ventura County Sheriff’s Office
Detectives, one Simi Valley Police Department Detective, and one Detective position
that is currently unfilled.
In addition to providing funding for the personnel assigned to the VCORTTF, the grant
also includes funding for: retailer / public outreach and education, purchase of crime
analytics software, 10 electronic sign board trailers and equipment, and 100 ALPR
cameras. The ALPR cameras will be distributed throughout areas of the county that are
both within and outside of corporate limits of the cities. Moorpark would receive 15
ALPR cameras. The VCORTTF has selected the Flock Safety - Falcon Series ALPR
camera for distribution throughout the county. The Flock Safety - Falcon Series ALPR
camera can be mounted on any roadside utility or streetlight pole and is solar powered,
eliminating the need for a hardwired power source. Flock Safety representatives will
install, remove, and perform any maintenance necessary on the ALPR cameras, which
is included in the annual lease fee of approximately $3,300 and paid for by the grant.
The Flock Safety - Falcon Series ALPR cameras are able to provide images that identify
vehicles by license plate number, make, color, or vehicle decals, transforming captured
images into actionable and searchable evidence.
The VCSO has entered into a 36-month contract with Flock Safety to provide 100
Falcon Series ALPR cameras. The contract began on June 1, 2024 and concludes on
May 31, 2027. At the conclusion of the Flock Safety contract with VCSO (May 31,
2027), Flock Safety will remove all of the ALPR cameras. The Flock Safety ALPR
cameras for Moorpark are scheduled to be installed in the following areas:
1) E/B Los Angeles Avenue / Hitch Boulevard (not in City limits)
2) W/B Los Angeles Avenue / Montair Drive
3) S/B Walnut Canyon Road / Championship Drive
4) E/B Los Angeles Avenue / Miller Parkway

The data collected by the Flock Safety ALPR cameras will be stored in the secure Flock
Safety database for one year. The data will automatically be deleted from the database
after one year. ALPR data that is evidence and related to a criminal case can be
downloaded from the Flock Safety database and booked as evidence with VCSO to
ensure it is available when the criminal case goes to trial. The secure database is
maintained by Flock Safety and users are issued unique sign in credentials to access
the information contained within the database. Users are also required to provide
specific case or report numbers to search within the database. User login and database
inquiries are logged within the system and are able to be audited to ensure policy
compliance. Flock Safety users have searchable access of all shared data collected
and stored within the Flock Safety database. The VCSO has elected to share Flock
Safety ALPR data with other law enforcement agencies within California only, to ensure
compliance with California Government Code 7284.6 (California Values Act 2017).
California Government Code 7284.6 prevents California state and local law enforcement
agencies from using their resources on behalf of federal immigration agencies. The
program will be implemented and administered by VCSO, City staff will not have access
to the Flock System nor be designated as Flock Safety users.
The Moorpark Police Department has been utilizing ALPR cameras affixed to three
patrol vehicles in the City of Moorpark for approximately 10 years. VCSO Policy 429
(Attachment 1) governs the use and storage of ALPR data and is compliant with
California Civil Codes 1798.90.5 – 1798.90.53.
DISCUSSION
Moorpark retailers are not immune from the effects of ORT activities, many Moorpark
retailers have been victimized and continue to be victimized by ORT suspects. Patrol
Deputies do their best to provide extra patrols in shopping centers and be highly visible
to prevent criminal conduct, but calls for service and other duties routinely take them
away from monitoring shopping centers and retail establishments. The use of Flock
Safety ALPR cameras would significantly improve the Moorpark Police Department’s
ability to identify vehicles associated to theft suspects and further investigations.

ALPR’s are an effective tool for law enforcement and widely used by many agencies
locally and across the country. As an example of their overall effectiveness, recently a
Moorpark retailer experienced an ORT incident where suspects stole several hundred
dollars’ worth of baby formula. Detectives learned the same suspects were involved in
thefts from two retail establishments in Simi Valley, targeting baby formula, prior to the
theft in Moorpark. Detectives were able to use ALPR data collected by ALPR cameras
in Simi Valley to identify the suspect’s vehicle and license plate number. The suspect’s
vehicle was registered to an address outside of Ventura County. Detectives used the
vehicle license plate number to create an alert in the ALPR system, allowing the
detectives to receive an alert if the vehicle license plate was captured in Ventura County
in the future. Several days later the vehicle license plate was captured in Simi Valley,
near the same retail establishment that was victimized several days prior. Shortly
thereafter, Simi Valley Police Dispatch received a call for service reporting a theft had
occurred at the retail establishment. Moorpark Detectives immediately went to the
second retail establishment in Simi Valley that had been victimized several days prior
and the Moorpark location. Moorpark Detectives caught the suspects as they walked
out of the Simi Valley location, after having committed another theft of several hundred
dollars’ worth of baby formula. Three suspects were responsible for five thefts targeting
baby formula and all were arrested. Use of the ALPR data and alert was instrumental in
identifying the suspect vehicle and apprehending the suspects.
Because the City owns streetlights on which Flock Safety and VCSO are requesting to
install ALPRs, City permission is required. A draft Municipal Facility License Agreement
to grant such permission is provided as Attachment 3. The Agreement contains
provisions to ensure that Flock Safety obtains necessary permits, completes a structural
analysis to ensure that the streetlight poles can sufficiently support the ALPRs, and
provides the City with insurance and liability protection in the event damage is caused
by an ALPR or related components.
Staff is requesting the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a Municipal
Facility License Agreement with Flock Safety, subject to final language approval by the
City Manager and City Attorney.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This action is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) as defined by Section 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines, as a minor
alteration of an existing public structure or facility. Therefore, no further environmental
review is required.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City. All costs associated with the installation, removal,
and lease of the Flock Safety ALPR cameras will be paid for by the California Organized
Retail Theft Prevention Grant Program funding that was received by VCSO.

6.6 Make Ready
6.6.1 Make Ready Work and Costs.
(a) Licensee shall bear responsibility for all Make-Ready Work. If a
Person other than Licensee or Licensor would have to rearrange or adjust any of its facilities in
order to accommodate new Equipment, Licensee shall be responsible, at Licensee’s sole expense,
to coordinate such activity. Licensee shall be responsible for directly paying such other Person for
its charges for the same. If Licensee is requested by another Person, in comparable circumstances,
to relocate or adjust any Equipment to accommodate that Person’s facilities, subject to Licensor’s
written approval of such relocation, Licensee shall reasonably cooperate with such request.
(b) Construction, installation, and operation of the Equipment shall be
conditioned on the completion of all Make-Ready Work needed to establish full compliance with
all applicable Laws, and with Licensor’s regulatory rules and engineering standards, including the
requirement that Licensee obtain an encroachment permit before starting any Make-Ready Work;
provided, however, that Licensee shall not be responsible for any third-party or Licensor costs
necessary to correct third party or Licensor attachments that are non-compliant at the time of
Licensee’s Application.
6.6.2 Notification of Completion of Installation. Within twenty (20) business
days of completing the installation of Equipment on each Municipal Facility, Licensee shall notify
Licensor of such completion.
6.7 Damage, Maintenance & Repair.
6.7.1 Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense and to the satisfaction of the
Licensor: (a) remove, repair, or replace any of its Equipment that is damaged or becomes detached;
and/or (b) repair any damage to ROW, Municipal Facilities, or other property, whether public or
private, caused by Licensee, its agents, employees, or contractors in their actions relating to
attachment, operation, repair, or maintenance of Equipment. Licensee shall complete such
removal, repair, or replacement within thirty (30) days’ of written notice or other longer period of
time reasonably necessary to complete such work as determined by Licensor.
6.7.2 If a Municipal Facility falls or is damaged such that there is an imminent
threat of harm to persons or property, then the Licensor may cause the Facility to be removed to
the side of the street or a location that Licensor believes reasonably eliminates the risk of such
imminent threat of harm to persons or property. Licensor shall not be required to replace or repair
the Facility except as Licensor shall within its complete discretion determine to do so and then at
the time schedule that Licensor determines. Licensor shall, however, provide written notice to
Licensee that the Facility has been damaged and, if applicable removed.
6.7.3 If Licensee does not remove, repair, replace, or otherwise remediate such
damage to its Equipmentor to the ROW, Municipal Facilities, or other property as required in this
Section 6.7, the Licensor shall have the option to perform or cause to be performed such removal,
repair, or replacement on behalf of Licensee and shall charge Licensee for the actual costs incurred
by the Licensor. If such damage causes a public health or safety emergency, as reasonably
determined by Licensor, Licensor may immediately perform reasonable and necessary repair or
42
- 7 -
removal work on behalf of Licensee and will notify Licensee as soon as practicable; provided,
however, that such repair work shall not include any technical work on Licensee’s Equipment.
Licensor shall have no obligation to maintain or safeguard the Equipment.
6.7.4 Upon the receipt of a written demand for payment by the Licensor pursuant
to this Section 6.7, Licensee shall within thirty (30) days of such receipt reimburse the Licensor

6.7.5 The terms of this Section 6.7 shall survive the expiration termination of this
Agreement.
6.8 Change in Equipment. If Licensee desires to install Equipment which is different
in any material way from the then-existing and approved Equipment, then Licensee shall first obtain
the written approval for the use and installation of such Equipment from an authorized
representative of the Licensor. Any such approval shall take the form of an amendment to the
applicable Supplement. In addition to any other submittal requirements, and if requested by
Licensor, Licensee shall provide “load” (structural) calculations for all Equipment changes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor’s approval and/or a new Supplement for modifications
shall not be required in connection with routine maintenance or modifications that consist of
upgrades or replacement of “like-kind” Equipment which is substantially similar (or smaller in size)
in appearance, dimensions, and weight to the then-existing and approved Equipment. In addition
to the foregoing, Licensee shall comply with any other applicable City permitting or approval
process for the Equipment change.
6.9 Unauthorized Equipment. If Licensor discovers any Equipment has been installed
on Municipal Facilities without authorization pursuant to a Supplement, Licensor may remove the
unauthorized Equipment at Licensee’s expense. If Licensor removes such unauthorized Equipment,
such Equipment shall become the property of Licensor, who shall have sole rights over such
Equipment’s disposition. Licensor’s removal of unauthorized Equipment shall not release Licensee
from its obligation to pay those invoiced fees accruing pursuant to this Section.
6.10 Termination of a Supplement.
6.10.1 Licensee shall have the right to terminate any Supplement on thirty (30)
days’ notice to Licensor. In the event of such termination, removal of Equipment associated with
the terminated Supplement shall be governed by Section 6.11 below.
6.10.2 Licensor shall have the right to terminate any Supplement in any of the
following circumstances: (a) if Licensor determines the covered Equipment has been inoperative,
or abandoned, for sixty (60) consecutive days; (b) if Licensee’s operation under a particular
Supplement is deemed by Licensor to endanger or pose a threat to the public health, safety, or
welfare or interfere with the normal day-to-day operation of any Licensor department or service;
or (c) Licensor is mandated by law, a court order or decision, or the federal, state, or local
government to take certain actions that will cause or require the removal of any Equipment.
Licensor shall provide written notice to Licensee regarding its intent to terminate the applicable
Supplement pursuant to this Section, after which Licensee shall have thirty (30) days to cure. If
43
- 8 -
Licensee does not cure within thirty (30) days following notice, Licensor may then terminate the
applicable Supplement upon written notice to Licensee.
6.11 Removal of Equipment. Within sixty (60) days after the expiration or earlier
termination of a Supplement, Licensee shall promptly, safely, and carefully remove the Equipment
covered by the terminated or expired Supplement from the applicable Municipal Facility and ROW.
Within ninety (90) days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall
promptly, safely, and carefully remove all Equipment from all applicable Municipal Facilities and
ROW. If Licensee fails to complete removal work pursuant to this Section, then the Licensor, upon
written notice to Licensee, shall have the right at the Licensor’s sole election, but not the obligation,
to perform this removal work and charge Licensee for the actual costs and expenses, including,
without limitation, reasonable administrative costs. Licensee shall pay to the Licensor actual costs
and expenses incurred by the Licensor in performing any removal work and any storage of
Licensee’s property after removal within thirty (30) days of the date of a written demand for this
payment from the Licensor. After the Licensor receives the reimbursement payment from Licensee
for the removal work performed by the Licensor, the Licensor shall promptly make available to
Licensee the property belonging to Licensee and removed by the Licensor pursuant to this Section
at no additional liability to the Licensor. If the Licensor does not receive reimbursement payment
from Licensee within such thirty (30) days, or if Licensor does not elect to remove such items at
the Licensor’s cost after Licensee’s failure to so remove pursuant to this Section, or if Licensee
does not remove Licensee’s property within thirty (30) days of such property having been made
available by the Licensor after Licensee’s payment of removal reimbursement as described above,
any items of Licensee’s property remaining on or about the ROW, Municipal Facilities, or stored
by the Licensor after the Licensor’s removal thereof may, at the Licensor’s option, be deemed
abandoned and the Licensor may dispose of such property in any manner by allowed for by Law.
Alternatively, the Licensor may elect to take title to the abandoned property, and Licensee shall
submit to the Licensor an instrument satisfactory to the Licensor transferring to the Licensor the
ownership of such property. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement.
6.12 Risk of Loss. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Licensee, subject to the terms
of this Agreement, bears all risks of loss, damage, relocation, or replacement of its Equipment and
materials installed in the ROW or on Municipal Facilities pursuant to this Agreement from any
cause, and Licensor shall not be liable for any cost of replacement or of repair to damaged
Equipment, including, without limitation, damage caused by the Licensor’s removal of the
Equipment, except to the extent that such loss or damage was caused by the willful misconduct or
negligence of the Licensor, including, without limitation, each of its elected officials, department
directors, managers, officers, agents, employees, and contractors, subject to the limitation of
liability provided in Section 7 below.
6.13 Hazardous Substances. Licensee agrees that Licensee, its contractors,
subcontractors, and agents, will not use, generate, store, produce, transport, or dispose any
Hazardous Substance on, under, about or within the area of a ROW or Municipal Facility in
violation of any Law. Except to the extent of the negligence or intentional misconduct of Licensor,
Licensee will pay, indemnify, defend, and hold Licensor harmless against and to the extent of any
loss or liability incurred by reason of any Hazardous Substance produced, disposed of, or used by
Licensee pursuant to this Agreement. Licensee will ensure that any on-site or off-site storage,
44
- 9 -
treatment, transportation, disposal or other handling of any Hazardous Substance will be performed
by persons who are properly trained, authorized, licensed and otherwise permitted to perform those
services. Licensee’s obligations under this section shall survive this agreement.
6.14 Inspection. Licensor may conduct inspections of Equipment on Municipal
Facilities. Except in circumstances where Licensor has special reason to be concerned about
potential violations or in case of an emergency, Licensor will give Licensee thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice of such inspections, and Licensee shall have the right to be present at and observe
any such inspections. Licensee shall pay Licensor for its reasonable costs for safety inspections
performed for the purpose of determining if a safety violation of which Licensor has provided notice
to Licensee has been corrected by Licensee.
6.15 Access. Prior to Licensee accessing its Equipment during normal business hours
(Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) for non-emergency purposes, Licensee shall provide email
notice, at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance, to the Licensor at the following email address:
PublicWorks@moorparkca.gov. If Licensee wishes to access its Equipment during weekend or
holiday hours for non-emergency purposes, Licensee shall provide said email notice to Licensor at
least seventy-two (72) hours in advance. In the event of an emergency at any time, Licensee will,
if time permits, attempt to provide prior telephonic notice to the Licensor at the following telephone
number: (805) 517-6256.

7.1 Indemnification of City. Licensee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
Licensor, its elected and appointed officers, officials, Council, commissions, agents, employees and
volunteers (collectively, the "indemnitees") from any and all damages, liabilities, injuries, losses,
costs and expenses and from any and all claims, demands, law suits, writs and other actions or
proceedings ("claims") brought against the indemnitees to: (i) challenge, attack, seek to modify, set
aside, void or annul the City's approval of this Agreement, (ii) claims of any kind arising out the
operation of the equipment, including the license plate recognition cameras, any data obtained from
the equiprement, the use of such data, compliance with applicable laws, including but not limited
to California Civil Code Section 1798.90.5 et seq., compliance with County Sheriff Policy 429, and
any other law or policy, and (ii) other claims of any kind or form, whether for personal injury, death
or property damage, that arise from or in connection with the permittee's or its agents', directors',
officers', employees', contractors', subcontractors', licensees' or customers' acts or omissions in
connection with this Agreement or the Equipment, except for claims arising from or caused by the
negligence or willful misconduct of indemnitees. In the event the Licensor becomes aware of any
claims, it will use best efforts to promptly notify Licensee and shall reasonably cooperate in the
defense. Licensee expressly acknowledges and agrees that its indemnification obligations under
this section are a material consideration that motivates the Licensor to approve this Agreement, and
that such indemnification obligations will survive the expiration or other termination of this
Agreement.
7.2 Waiver of Claims. Licensee waives any and all claims, demands, causes of action,
and rights it may assert against the Licensor on account of any loss, damage, or injury to any
Equipment or any loss or degradation of the Services as a result of any event or occurrence which
is beyond the control of the Licensor.
45
- 10 -
7.3 Waiver of Subrogation. Licensee hereby waives and releases any and all rights of
action for negligence against Licensor which may hereafter arise on account of damage to
Equipment, Municipal Facilities, or to the ROW, regardless of whether or not, or in what amounts,
such insurance is now or hereafter carried by the Licensee. This waiver and release shall apply
between the parties and shall also apply to any claims under or through either party as a result of
any asserted right of subrogation. All such policies of insurance obtained by Licensee concerning
the Municipal Facilities, Equipment, or the ROW shall waive the insurer’s right of subrogation
against the Licensor. Licensee self-insures its property insurance and in satisfaction of the waiver
of subrogation requirement will include Licensor as joint loss payee to the extent of Licensor’s
insurable interest which would have been covered had Licensee purchased property insurance.
7.4 Limitation on Consequential Damages. Neither party shall be liable to the other,
or any of their respective agents, representatives, employees for any lost revenue, lost profits, loss
of technology, rights or services, incidental, punitive, indirect, special or consequential damages,
loss of data, or interruption or loss of use of service, even if advised of the possibility of such
damages, whether under theory of contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise.
8. PERFORMANCE BOND. In order to secure the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement, Licensee will provide the following security instrument to the Licensor:
8.1 Performance Bond. Prior to the commencement of any work under this
Agreement, Licensee must provide a performance bond running to the Licensor according to this
Section. Licensee shall provide a one-time performance bond in the amount of $8,000 for each
Municipal Facility leased. The performance bond is conditioned upon the faithful performance by
Licensee of all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and upon the further condition that, if
Licensee fails to comply with any terms or conditions governing this Agreement, there shall be
recoverable jointly and severally from the principal and surety of the bond any damage or loss
suffered by the Licensor as a result, including, without limitation, the full amount of any
compensation, indemnification, or costs of removal or abandonment of Licensee’s property, plus
costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees up to the full amount of the performance bond. Licensee shall
keep the performance bond in place during the term of this Agreement.
8.2 Assessment of the Bond. The performance bond may be assessed by the Licensor
for any failure by Licensee to pay Licensor an amount owed under this Agreement, including, but
not limited to: (a) reimbursement of costs borne by the Licensor to correct violations of the
Agreement not corrected by Licensee, after Licensor provides notice and a reasonable opportunity
to cure such violations, which shall include, without limitation, removal of Equipment; and (b)
providing monetary remedies or satisfying damages assessed against Licensee due to a material
breach of this Agreement.
8.3 Restoration of the Bond. Licensee must deposit a sum of money or a replacement
instrument sufficient to restore the performance bond to its original amount within thirty (30) days
after written notice from the Licensor that any amount has been recovered from the performance
bond. Failure to restore the bond to its full amount within thirty (30) days will constitute a material
breach of this Agreement. Licensee will be relieved of the foregoing requirement to replenish the
bond during the pendency of an appeal from the Licensor’s decision to draw on the performance
bond.
46

8.4 Required Endorsement. The performance bond is subject to the approval of the
Licensor and must contain the following endorsement:

by the Licensor, by registered mail, return receipt requested, of a
written notice of intent to cancel or not to renew.”
8.5 Reservation of Licensor Rights. The rights reserved by Licensor with respect to
the performance bond are in addition to all other rights and remedies Licensor may have under this
Agreement or any other Law.
8.6 Admitted Surety Insurer. The surety supplying the bond shall be an “admitted
surety insurer”, as defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.120 and authorized
to do business in the State of California.
8.7 Cash Deposit. In lieu of obtaining a performance bond, Licensee shall have the
right to instead deposit a cash deposit with Licensor securing Licensee’s obligations under this
Agreement.

as respects any covered liability caused in whole or in party, by Licensee’s performance of work
under this Agreement. Coverage shall be in an occurrence form and in accordance with the limits
and provisions specified herein. Upon receipt of notice from its insurer, Licensee shall use its best
efforts to provide the Licensor with thirty (30) days prior written notice of cancellation of any
required coverage that is not replaced. Licensee shall be responsible for notifying the Licensor of
such cancellation. Licensee’s indemnity and other obligations shall not be limited by the foregoing
insurance requirements. If Licensee fails, for any reason, to obtain or maintain insurance coverage
required by this Agreement or fails to furnish certificates of insurance as detailed in Section 9.1,
such failure shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement, giving Licensor, in its discretion,
the option to terminate this Agreement and obtain damages therefor.
9.1 Filing of Certificates and Endorsements. Prior to the commencement of any work
pursuant to this Agreement, Licensee shall file with the Licensor the required certificate(s) of
insurance with blanket additional insured endorsements, which shall state the following: (a) the

representative; name and address of insured; project name; policy expiration date; and specific
coverage amounts; (b) that Licensee’s Commercial General Liability insurance policy is primary

- 12 -
shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not be required to contribute with this insurance;
and (c) that Licensee’s Commercial General Liability insurance policy waives any right of recovery
the insurance company may have against the Licensor. The certificate(s) of insurance with required
endorsements and notices shall be mailed to the Licensor at the address specified in Section 10

discretion, self-insure any of the required insurance under the same terms as required by this
Agreement. In the event Licensee elects to self-insure its obligation under this Agreement to include
Licensor as an additional insured, the following conditions apply: (i) Licensor shall promptly and
no later than thirty (30) days after notice thereof provide Licensee with written notice of any claim,
demand, lawsuit, or the like for which it seeks coverage pursuant to this Section and provide
Licensee with copies of any demands, notices, summonses, or legal papers received in connection
with such claim, demand, lawsuit, or the like; (ii) Licensor shall not settle any such claim, demand,
lawsuit, or the like without the prior written consent of Licensee; and (iii) Licensor shall fully
