qualified firm with an established record of successful performance in its respective trade
performing identical or substantially similar work, (b) the subcontractor will be required to

The Professional shall require all subcontractors performing Work hereunder to maintain
insurance coverage naming the City as an additional insured under this Agreement of the

agreement for personal services. Accordingly, the Professional shall neither assign any
responsibilities nor delegate any duties arising under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of the City.
13. Acceptance Not Waiver. The City's approval of drawings, designs, plans, specifications,
reports, and incidental work or materials furnished hereunder shall not in any way relieve
the Professional of responsibility for the quality or technical accuracy of the Work. The City's
approval or acceptance of, or payment for, any of the services shall not be construed to
operate as a waiver of any rights or benefits provided to the City under this Agreement.
14. Default. Each and every term and condition hereof shall be deemed to be a material element
of this Agreement. In the event either party should fail or refuse to perform according to the
terms of this Agreement, such party may be declared in default.

and seek damages; (b) treat the Agreement as continuing and require specific performance;
or (c) avail himself of any other remedy at law or equity. If the non-defaulting party
commences legal or equitable actions against the defaulting party, the defaulting party shall
be liable to the non-defaulting party for the non-defaulting party's reasonable attorney fees
and costs incurred because of the default.
16. Binding Effect. This writing, together with the exhibits hereto, constitutes the entire
Agreement between the parties and shall be binding upon said parties, their officers,
employees, agents and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the respective survivors,
heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of said parties.
17. Law/Severability. The laws of the State of Colorado shall govern the construction,
interpretation, execution and enforcement of this Agreement. In the event any provision of

Agreement.

contract, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of the contract, the
(Recipient) may terminate this contract for default. Termination shall be effected by
serving a notice of termination on the contractor setting forth the manner in which the

delivered and accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner of
performance set forth in the contract.

for not performing, such as a strike, fire, or flood, events which are not the fault of or are

its sureties for said breach or default.
d. Waiver of Remedies for any Breach In the event that (Recipient) elects to waive its
remedies for any breach by Contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this
Contract, such waiver by (Recipient) shall not limit (Recipient)'s remedies for any

DEFINITIONS.
In consideration of and subject to payment of the premium, and in reliance upon the particulars, statements,
representations, attachments and exhibits contained in and submitted with the Application which shall be the basis of
this Policy and deemed to be incorporated herein, and subject to all the terms, conditions, limitations and any
endorsements to this Policy, Aspen American Insurance Company (the “Company”) agrees with the Named Insured as
follows:
I. INSURING AGREEMENTS
(A) The Company will pay on behalf of the Insured all sums in excess of the Deductible amount stated in the
Declarations which the Insured becomes legally obligated to pay as Damages and Claims Expenses
resulting from Claims first made against the Insured during the Policy Period, or Extended Reporting
Period, if applicable, as a result of a Wrongful Act by the Insured, provided that:
(1) such Wrongful Act was committed on or after the Retroactive Date and before the end of the Policy
Period; and
(2) prior to the beginning of the Policy Period, the Insured did not know or could not reasonably have
expected that such Wrongful Act might give rise to a Claim.
As a condition precedent to coverage, the Insured shall report all Claims in writing to the Company as soon
as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after expiration or termination of this Policy, or during
the Extended Reporting Period, if applicable.
(B) The Insured shall not admit or assume liability for any Wrongful Act, or settle any Claim, or incur any
expenses, including Claims Expenses, without the prior written consent of the Company. However, the
Insured must take all reasonable action within its ability to prevent or mitigate any Claim which would be
covered under this Policy. The Company has the right to make such investigation and conduct negotiations
and, with the written consent of the Insured, effect settlement of any Claim as the Company deems
reasonable.
If the Insured refuses to consent to a settlement recommended by the Company and elects to contest or
continue to contest the Claim, the Company’s liability shall not exceed the amount for which the Company
would have been liable for Damages and Claims Expenses if the Claim had been so settled when and as so
recommended, and the Company shall have the right to withdraw from the further defense of the Claim by
tendering control of the defense thereof to the Insured. The operation of this paragraph shall be subject to the
Limits of Liability and Deductible provisions of this Policy.
The Company shall not be obligated to pay any Damages and/or Claims Expenses, or to undertake or
continue the defense of any Claim after the applicable limit of the Company’s liability has been exhausted by
payment of Damages and/or Claims Expenses or after deposit of the applicable limit of the Company’s
liability with or subject to control of a court of competent jurisdiction.

covered by this Policy made against the Insured.
III. COVERAGE EXTENSIONS AND SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS

If a covered Claim against an Insured arising out of a Wrongful Act committed on or after the Retroactive
Date and before the end of the Policy Period includes allegations against the lawful spouse of such Insured
solely by reason of (a) such spousal status or (b) such spouse’s ownership interest in property or assets that are
sought as recovery for such Claim, any sums for which such spouse becomes legally obligated to pay on
account of such Claim shall be deemed Damages.
(D) SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS
Subject to all other terms and conditions, this Policy affords the following Supplemental Payments. Any
payments made by the Company under this Section (D) shall not apply to the Deductible and shall not reduce
the Limits of Liability:
(1) Subpoena Response
The Company will pay reasonable and necessary fees charged by attorneys designated by the Company, or
designated by the Insured with the Company’s prior written consent, for assisting the Insured in
responding to a subpoena which relates to a Wrongful Act committed by the Insured on or after the
Retroactive Date and before the end of the Policy Period and which the Insured first receives and
reports in writing to the Company during the Policy Period, or Extended Reporting Period, if
applicable, provided that the subpoena does not involve:
(a) a circumstance or situation underlying or alleged in a Claim made prior to the Retroactive Date;
(b) a notice of circumstance or potential Claim given to a prior insurer; or
(c) any Wrongful Act the Insured knew or reasonably could have expected prior to the beginning of the
Policy Period, which might give rise to a subpoena and/or Claim.
The maximum amount payable shall be $5,000 regardless of the number of subpoenas. Once the
Company has incurred $5,000 of expenses for responding to a subpoena under this Section (D)(1), the
Company shall deem that a Claim has been made.
(2) Pre-Claim Assistance
If during the Policy Period the Insured reports a specific Wrongful Act committed by the Insured on
or after the Retroactive Date and before the end of the Policy Period in accordance with Section VI.
CONDITIONS, Paragraph (A) of this Policy, the Company will pay reasonable and necessary attorney
fees for investigation and monitoring of the Wrongful Act and for efforts to decrease the likelihood of an
actual Claim, provided that:
(i) The Company, in its sole discretion, selected such attorneys; or

is deemed to have been made, any amounts incurred by the Company for such investigation shall be at the
Company’s expense.
If a Claim arising from such specific Wrongful Act has or is deemed to have been made, then this section
would no longer apply and Section II., TERRITORTY AND DEFENSE would apply.

Date and before the end of the Policy Period is commenced against the Insured during the Policy
Period and reported to the Company within sixty (60) days of the Insured’s first receipt of notice of the
Disciplinary Proceeding, the Company will reimburse the Insured for reasonable attorney's fees
incurred in responding to the Disciplinary Proceeding, provided that the attorney is designated by the
Company or by the Insured with the Company’s prior written consent. The maximum payment made by
the Company pursuant to this Supplemental Payment shall be $2,500 for each Policy Period regardless of
the number of Disciplinary Proceedings. The Company’s maximum obligation for the cumulative total
of all Supplemental Payments under this Section (D)(3) concerning all Disciplinary Proceedings for
which first notice is received by the Insured in the same Policy Period shall be $2,500, regardless of the
number of years the Insured maintains insurance with the Company and shall not cumulate from year to
year or period to period. The Company shall not pay Damages pursuant to this provision, including but
not limited to any fines, sanctions or statutory penalties.

defense of a Claim, the Company shall reimburse the Insured’s actual loss of earnings and reasonable
actual expenses for such attendance up to $500 per day. The maximum payment made by the Company
pursuant to this Supplemental Payment shall be $5,000 for each Policy Period. The Supplemental
Payment under this Section D(4) does not apply to proceedings the Insured is legally required to attend as
the result of court orders or subpoenas. The Company’s maximum obligation for the cumulative total of
all Supplemental Payments under this Section (D)(4) concerning all Claims reported in the same Policy
Period shall be $5,000, regardless of the number of years the Insured maintains insurance with the
Company and shall not cumulate from year to year or period to period.
The Company’s maximum obligation for the cumulative total of all Supplemental Payments under this Section
(D) concerning:
(i) the same or related Wrongful Act(s); or

(J) EXTENDED REPORTING PERIOD OPTIONS
The following two options are available under this Policy with respect to the purchase of an Extended

premium or Deductible, the Named Insured shall have the right as outlined below to purchase an
Extended Reporting Period under this Policy subject to all other terms, conditions, limitations of and
any endorsements to this Policy:
(a) for a period of one year for an additional premium of 100% of the total annual premium;
(b) for a period of two years for an additional premium of 135% of the total annual premium;
(c) for a period of three years for an additional premium of 170% of the total annual premium; or

commence on the effective date of such cancellation or refusal to renew but only with respect to any
Wrongful Act first committed on or after the Retroactive Date and before the date of such cancellation
or non-renewal.
(2) In the case of cancellation or non-renewal of this Policy by the Named Insured due to retirement from
the active rendering of all Professional Services for which the Named Insured has been covered under
the Policy, the Named Insured shall have the right to purchase an unlimited extension of the time for
reporting Claims under this Policy, subject to all other terms, conditions, limitations of and endorsements
to this Policy. The Extended Reporting Period under this Section (2) shall only apply to any Wrongful

option is only available if:
(a) the Named Insured was continuously Insured with the Company for at least five (5) consecutive
years; and
(b) the Named Insured has performed Professional Services on a full-time basis for at least twenty
(20) years or is age 65 or older.

annual premium. However, if the Named Insured:
(a) otherwise qualifies pursuant to the foregoing requirements for the unlimited Extended Reporting
Period due to retirement; and
(b) is the only appraiser of the Named Insured:
(i) at the time of the Application for this Policy; and
(ii) prior to his/her retirement from the active rendering of all Professional Services for which the
Named Insured has been covered under the Policy,

Period.

forth above:
The offer of renewal terms, conditions, Limits of Liability and/or premiums different from those of this Policy
shall not constitute a cancellation or refusal to renew.

Aspen American Insurance Company Page 11 of 12
LIA002 (12/14)
The Extended Reporting Period shall terminate on the effective date and hour of any other insurance issued
to the Named Insured or successor to the Named Insured which replaces, in whole or in part, the coverage
afforded by the Extended Reporting Period.

premium and any Deductible(s) due for this Policy and Policy Period must have been paid.
The Named Insured’s right to elect the Extended Reporting Period must be exercised by notice in writing
not later than sixty (60) days following the non-renewal or cancellation date of this Policy, and must include
payment of premium, if any, for the applicable Extended Reporting Period as well as payment of all
premiums and any Deductible(s) due the Company. If such notice is not so given to the Company, the Named
Insured shall not, at a later date be able to exercise such right.
At the commencement of any Extended Reporting Period, the entire premium thereafter shall be deemed
earned and in the event the Named Insured terminates the Extended Reporting Period before its expiration
date, the Company shall not be liable to return to the Named Insured any portion of the premium for the
Extended Reporting Period.
The fact that this Policy may be extended by virtue of an Extended Reporting Period shall not in any way
increase the Limits of Liability as set forth in the Declarations. The Extended Reporting Period shall be
renewable at the sole option of the Company.
(K) OTHER INSURANCE
If any Claim or Wrongful Act noticed to the Company under this Policy is insured by another valid policy or
policies, then this Policy shall apply only in excess of the amount of any deductibles, retentions and limits of
liability under such other policy or policies, whether such other policy or policies are stated to be primary,
contributory, excess, contingent or otherwise, unless such other insurance is written specifically excess of this
Policy by reference in such other policy to the Policy Number indicated on this Policy's Declarations.
(L) SUBROGATION
In the event of any payment under this Policy, the Company shall be subrogated to all of the Insured’s rights
of recovery against any person or organization, and the Insured shall execute and deliver instruments and
papers and do whatever else is necessary to secure such rights. The Insured shall do nothing after a Claim is
made to prejudice such rights. The Company hereby waives its subrogation rights against a client of the
Insured to the extent that the Insured had, prior to a Claim, or a Wrongful Act reasonably expected to give
rise to a Claim, entered into a written agreement to waive such rights.
Any amount recovered upon the exercise of such rights of subrogation shall first be applied to the repayment
of expenses incurred by the Company toward subrogation, second toward reimbursement of any payments
made by the Insured pursuant to the Insured’s Deductible, and any remaining balance shall be the
Company’s.

by written endorsement by an authorized representative of the Company.
