9. Termination. If either Party breaches any material provision of this Agreement and such breach is not
substantially cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the non -breaching Party
specifying such breach in reasonable detail, the non -breaching Party may terminate this Agreement by
giving sixty (60) days' written notice of termination to the breaching Party. However, if the breach
cannot be substantially cured within thirty (30) days, the Agreement may not be terminated if a cure is
commenced within the cure period and for as long thereafter as a cure is diligently pursued. In lieu of
termination, City may require a performance bond from Company, provided, however, that such actions
shall not be deemed a waiver of City's right to terminate this Agreement at any later date. City may

petition for relief under federal bankruptcy law or state insolvency laws. Upon termination, the City
shall pay Company only such charges and fees for the Services performed on or before the termination
effective date and Company shall collect its equipment, and Company shall have no further obligation to
perform any Services under this Agreement but may be liable to City for any losses incurred by City as
a result of termination caused by the material breach of Company.
10. Compliance with Laws. Company warrants that the Services will be performed in a good, safe and
workmanlike manner, in accordance with industry standards and best practices, and in compliance with
all applicable federal, state, provincial and local laws, rules, regulations, and permit conditions relating
to the Services, including without limitation any applicable requirements relating to protection of human
health, safety, or the environment (collectively, "Applicable Law"). The parties acknowledge that City
intends to update its current ordinance on solid waste collection and in doing so will not intentionally
create any conflict between such ordinance and this Agreement. In the event any provision of this
Agreement conflicts with an ordinance of the City, the parties will promptly confer in good faith to
discuss an appropriate resolution. Upon prior written notice to City, Company reserves the right to
decline to perform Services, which, in its judgment, it cannot perform in a lawful manner or without risk
of harm to human health, safety or the environment, and in such instance the Parties shall discuss in
good faith any appropriate rate adjustments.
11. Title. Title to Recyclable Material shall pass to Company when loaded into Company's collection
vehicle or otherwise received by Company. Title to and liability for any Excluded Waste shall at no time
pass to Company, although Company shall properly dispose of any Excluded Waste that comes into its
possession.

refuse to collect the entire container that contains the Excluded Waste. In such situations, Company
shall notify the Customer in writing that collection was refused due to contamination and that Excluded
Waste must be removed from the container before the next scheduled collection date. In the event
Excluded Waste is present but not discovered until after it has been collected by Company, Company
may, in its sole discretion, remove, transport, and dispose of such Excluded Waste at a facility
authorized to accept such Excluded Waste in accordance with Applicable Law and, in Company's sole
discretion, charge the depositor or generator of such Excluded Waste for all direct and indirect costs
incurred due to the removal, remediation, handling, transportation, delivery, and disposal of such
Excluded Waste. The City shall provide all reasonable assistance to Company to conduct an
investigation to determine the identity of the depositor or generator of the Excluded Waste and to collect
the costs incurred by Company in connection with such Excluded Waste.

Agreement shall remain Company's property. "Equipment" shall mean bins or carts provided to
Customers for collection of Recyclable Materials. Customers shall use the Equipment only for its
proper and intended purpose and shall not overload (by weight or volume), move to a different address,
or alter the Equipment. If the Equipment and/or Waste Material is not accessible so that the regularly

scheduled pick-up cannot be made, such Waste Material will not be collected until the next regularly
scheduled pick-up.
14. Risk Allocation; Indemnification. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, each Party shall be
responsible for any and all claims for personal injuries or death, or the loss of or damage to property,
only to the extent caused by that Party's negligence or acts of willful misconduct or those of its
employees, contractors, subcontractors, or agents. Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
the City of Waterloo and its officers, employees and agents from any and all liability, loss, cost,
damage, and expense (including reasonable attorney's fees and court costs) resulting from, arising out
of, or incurred by reason of any claims, actions, or suits based upon or alleging bodily injury including
death, license, patent or copyright infringement, or property damage rising out of or resulting from the
Company's negligent operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by Company, any
affiliated or subcontractor, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by either.
The Parties agree that neither this Agreement nor any part hereof is intended to create in the public or
any member thereof, nor in any subcontractor of either Party, a third -party beneficiary hereunder, or to
authorize anyone not a party to this Agreement to maintain a suit for personal injuries or property
damage pursuant to the terms or provisions of this Agreement.

performance under this Agreement due to contingencies beyond a Party's reasonable control (a "Force
Majeure Event"), including, but not limited to, strikes, riots, terrorist acts, compliance with Applicable
Laws or governmental orders, fires, bad weather and acts of God, shall not constitute a breach of this
Agreement, but shall entitle the affected Party to be relieved of performance under this Agreement
during the term of such event and for a reasonable time thereafter. If a Force Majeure Event affects the
ability of a Party to perform its duties under this Agreement, such Party shall notify the other Party of
the event, describe its nature as specifically as possible, provide an estimate of the duration of the event
and/or its effects that materially impede the ability to perform, and provide an update about status of the
event and/or its effects at least weekly. The collection or disposal of any increased volume resulting
from a flood, hurricane or similar or different Act of God over which Company has no control, shall not
be included as part of Company's service under this Agreement. In the event of increased volume due to
a Force Majeure Event, Company and the City shall negotiate the additional payment to be made to
Company. Further, the City shall grant Company variances in routes and schedules as deemed
reasonably necessary by Company to accommodate collection of the increased volume of Waste
Materials.
If Company declares a Force Majeure Event because the recycling processing or transfer facility is shut
down for maintenance, repair or otherwise for an indefinite period or any period expected to exceed five
(5) days, Company shall provide to the City a viable option to process recycling.
17. Non -Discrimination. Company shall not discriminate against any person in employment or public
accommodation because of race, sex, age, creed, color, religion, national origin or other basis protected
by federal, State of Iowa, or local law or ordinance in its performance of Services under this Agreement.

granted by this Agreement) and promptly pay all taxes required by the City and by the State.

guarantees or warranties with respect to the Services. No liquidated damages or penalties may be
assessed by either Party against the other Party.

Recycling collection but does not address the processing of Recyclable Materials which, if applicable,
will be addressed in a separate Recycling Processing Agreement. (b) Company shall have no
confidentiality obligation with respect to the handling of any Waste Materials that come into its
possession. (c) Neither Party shall assign this Agreement in its entirety without the other Party's prior
