1. LICENSE; DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY. CITY licenses LICENSEE to use, on the
terms and conditions in this License, real property located at the George E. Gordon Clubhouse,
300 E. Pine Ave., El Segundo, CA ( "Property"). CITY's action is not, and should not be

2. USE OF PROPERTY, .
A. LICENSEE may temporarily use the Property for the purposes of operating
nursery school programs.
B. CITY may change, amend, or terminate LICENSEE's use of Property at any time,
and in its sole discretion, verbally or in writing.

2014 and end on September 30, 2017. Upon mutual written agreement between the parties, this
License may be renewed for additional time.

the term of this License. The Parties acknowledge that on May 20, 2014, the City Council
approved a fee schedule establishing new hourly rates for Recreation and Parks Department
facilities, and that the newly approved rate for the Property would be $15 per hour. Based on

LICENSEE's total use of the Property would cost $6,000. However, in light of LICENSEE's
non - profit status, CITY has agreed to discount the fee by 50% ($3,000) for FY 16/17 and to
further reduce this discounted rate by 50% and 75% ($750 and $1,500, respectively) for F /Ys

this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 4, above, LICENSEE is entitled to a refund of
the total amount paid to the CITY pro -rated by the number of hours remaining in the academic
year that the Property will not be used by LICENSEE.
6. CONDEMNATION. If all or part of Property is acquired by eminent domain or purchase in
lieu thereof, LICENSEE acknowledges that it will have no claim to any compensation awarded
for the taking of Property or any portion thereof or for loss of or damage to LICENSEE's
improvements.

LICENSEE further acknowledges that any rights acquired under this License arose after the date
of acquisition of Property and that said rights are subject to termination when Property is needed
by CITY. LICENSEE hereby acknowledges that at the time of said termination of this License
by CITY, it will not be a "displaced person" entitled to any of the relocation assistance or

11. ASSIGNMENT. LICENSEE will not be permitted to assign this License or any interest
therein.
12. INDEMNIFICATION.
A. LICENSEE will hold CITY harmless and free from any and all liability
arising out of this License, or its performance, except for such loss or damage
arising from CITY's sole negligence or willful misconduct. Should CITY be
named in any suit, or should any claim be against it, by suit or otherwise,
whether the same be groundless or not, arising out of this License, or its
performance, pursuant to this License, LICENSEE will defend CITY (at
CITY's request and with counsel satisfactory to CITY) and will indemnify it
for any judgment rendered against it or any sums paid out in settlement or
otherwise.
B. For purposes of this section "CITY" includes CITY's officers, officials,
employees, agents, representatives, and certified volunteers.
C, LICENSEE expressly agrees that this release, waiver, and indemnity agreement is
intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of
California and that if any portion is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance will,
notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.
D. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions will survive
termination of this License.
E. The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be
maintained by LICENSEE as required by Section 13 below, and any approval of
said insurance by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or
qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by LICENSEE pursuant
to this License, including but not limited to the provisions concerning
indemnification.
13. INSURANCE.
A. Before commencing performance under this License, and at all other times this
License is effective, LICENSEE will procure and maintain the following types of
insurance with coverage limits complying, at a minimum, with the limits set forth
below:
Tv of Insurance Limits combined sin Fl
Commercial general liability: $2,000,000
Business automobile liability: $1,000,000
Page 3 of 7
Agreement No. 4698
Workers compensation Statutory limits
B. Commercial general liability insurance will meet or exceed the requirements of
the most current ISO Forms. The amount of insurance set forth above will be a
combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and
property damage for the policy coverage. Liability policies must be endorsed to
name CITY, its officials, and employees as "additional insureds" under said
insurance coverage and to state that such insurance will be deemed "primary"
such that any other insurance that may be carried by CITY will be excess thereto.
Such insurance will be on an "occurrence," not a "claims made," basis and will
not be cancelable except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to CITY except
for nonpayment of premiums which may be cancelable upon ten (10) day notice.
C. LICENSEE will furnish to CITY duly authenticated Certificates of Insurance and
Endorsements evidencing maintenance of the insurance required under this
License and such other evidence of insurance or copies of policies as may be
reasonably required by CITY from time to time. Insurance must be placed with
insurers with a current A.M. Best Company Rating equivalent to at least a Rating
of "A:VII." Certificate(s) must reflect that the insurer will provide thirty (30) day
notice of any cancellation of coverage. CONTRACTOR will require its insurer to
modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of
the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, and to
delete the word "endeavor" with regard to any notice provisions.
D. Should LICENSEE, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the insurance
required by this License, CITY may obtain such coverage at LICENSEE's
expense and charge the cost of such insurance to LICENSEE under this License
or terminate pursuant to Section 4.
14. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. LICENSEE will, at its sole cost and expense, comply with
all of the requirements of all federal, state, and local authorities now in force, or which may
hereafter be in force, pertaining to Property and will faithfully observe in the use of Property all
applicable laws. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission of
LICENSEE in any action or proceeding against LICENSEE, whether CITY be a party thereto or
not, that LICENSEE has violated any such ordinance or statute in the use of Property will be
conclusive of that fact as between CITY and LICENSEE.
15. BREACH OF AGREEMENT. The violation of any of the provisions of this License will
constitute a breach of this License by LICENSEE, and in such event said License will
automatically cease and terminate.
16. WAIVER OF BREACH. Any express or implied waiver of a breach of any term of this
License will not constitute a waiver of any further breach of the same or other term of this
License.

Agreement No. 4698
17. ENTRY BY CITY AND PUBLIC. This License does not convey any property interest to
LICENSEE. Except for areas restricted because of safety concerns, CITY and the general public
will have unrestricted access upon Property for all lawful acts.
18. INSOLVENCY; RECEIVER. Either the appointment of a receiver to take possession of all
or substantially all of the assets of LICENSEE, or a general assignment by the LICENSEE for
the benefit of creditors, or any action taken or offered by LICENSEE under any insolvency or
bankruptcy action, will constitute a breach of this License by LICENSEE, and in such event said
License will automatically cease and terminate.
19. NOTICES. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, all notices or other
communications required or permitted by this License or by law to be served on or given to
either party to this License by the other party will be in writing and will be deemed served when
personally delivered to the party to whom they are directed, or in lieu of the personal service,

Either party may change its address for the purpose of this Section by giving written
notice of the change to the other party.
20. ACCEPTANCE OF FACSIMILE SIGNATURES. The Parties agree that agreements
ancillary to this License and related documents to be entered into in connection with this License
will be considered signed when the signature of a party is delivered by facsimile transmission.
Such facsimile signature will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original
signature.
21. GOVERNING LAW. This License has been made in and will be construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California and exclusive venue for any action involving this License
will be in Los Angeles County.
22. PARTIAL INVALIDITY. Should any provision of this License be held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be either invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this
License will remain in effect, unimpaired by the holding.

agreement between CITY and LICENSEE respecting Property, the use of Property by
LICENSEE, and the specified License term, and correctly sets forth the obligations of CITY and
LICENSEE. Any agreement or representations respecting Property or its licensing by CITY to

according to its fair meaning, and this License will never be construed either for or against either
party.
