For breach or violation of this warranty, City will have the right to annul this Agreement without liability, or, in its discretion, to deduct from the Agreement price or consideration, or otherwise recover, the full amount of the fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fees, gift, or contingent fee. 23. Claims and Lawsuits. Contractor acknowledges that if a false claim is submitted to City by Contractor, Contractor may be subject to criminal prosecution for fraud.

(the False Claims Act), as amended, applies to this Agreement and provides for civil penalties where a person knowingly submits a false claim to a public entity.

If City seeks to recover penalties pursuant to the False Claims Act, it is entitled to recover its litigation costs, including attorney's fees.

As a result of such proceeding, Contractor may be prevented to act as a Contractor on any public work or improvement for a period of up to five (5) years. Contractor acknowledges that disbarment by another jurisdiction is grounds for City to terminate this Agreement. 24. Jurisdiction and Venue.
