City to Consultant pursuant to the Service Order, for any action
or claim for breach of contract arising out of the performance or
non-performance of any obligations imposed upon the City by this
Agreement. Nothing contained in this subparagraph or elsewhere in
this Agreement is in any way intended to be a waiver of the
