In the event CITY and/or any of CITY’s officers, employees, agents, or volunteers are named in any lawsuit, or should any claim be made against it or any of them by lawsuit or otherwise arising out of or relating to such negligent act, negligent omission, wrongful conduct, or any loss, damage, or injury (including, but not limited to, death or other injury that is sustained from any communicable disease), CONTRACTOR shall indemnify them for any judgment rendered against them for such negligent act, negligent omission, wrongful act, or any loss, damage, or injury (including, but not limited to, death or other injury that is sustained from any communicable disease), any sums paid out in settlement or otherwise, and all costs incurred by them in their defense, including but not limited to attorney’s fees. XXXXXXXXXX also understands and agrees that it is being employed to perform the services provided for by this Agreement because of CONTRACTOR’s professed expertise and experience in performing such services. In addition, CONTRACTOR understands and agrees that while CITY or CITY’s officers, employees, agents, or volunteers may elect to do so, they have no duty to review, inspect, monitor, or supervise the work performed by CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement except as otherwise expressly provided for by this Agreement. As a consequence, CONTRACTOR waives any right of contribution against CITY or any of CITY’s officers, employees, agents, or volunteers arising out of such failure to inspect, review, monitor, or supervise the work performed by CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement. CONTRACTOR’s obligations under this Section of the Agreement shall survive the termination of the Agreement.

  • Indemnification and Defense 16.1 To the fullest extent permitted by California law, Developer shall indemnify, keep and hold harmless the District, the Architect(s) and Construction Manager(s), their respective consultants, separate contractors, board members, officers, representatives, agents, and employees, in both individual and official capacities (“Indemnitees”), against all suits, claims, injury, damages, losses, and expenses (“Claims”), including but not limited to attorney’s fees and costs, caused by, arising out of, resulting from, or incidental to, in whole or in part, the performance of the Work under this Contract by Developer or its Subcontractors, vendors and/or suppliers. However, Developer’s indemnification and hold harmless obligation shall be reduced by the proportion of the Indemnitees’ and/or Architect’s liability to the extent the Claim(s) is/are caused wholly by the active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees, and/or defects in design furnished by the Architect, as found by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction. This indemnification and hold harmless obligation of Developer shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or otherwise reduce any right or obligation of indemnity that would otherwise exist or arise as to any Indemnitee or other person described herein. This indemnification and hold harmless obligation includes, but is not limited to, any failure or alleged failure by Developer to comply with any law and/or provision of the Contract Documents in strict accordance with their terms, and without limitation, any failure or alleged failure of Developers obligations regarding any stop payment notice actions or liens, including Civil Wage and Penalty Assessments and/or Orders by the DIR. 16.2 To the furthest extent permitted by California law, Developer shall also defend Indemnitees, at its own expense, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and costs, against all Claims caused by, arising out of, resulting from, or incidental to, in whole or in part, the performance of the Work under this Facilities Lease by Developer, its Subcontractors, vendors, or suppliers. However, without impacting Developer’s obligation to provide an immediate and ongoing defense of Indemnitees, Developer’s defense obligation shall be reduced by the proportion of the Indemnitees’ and/or Architect’s liability to the extent caused by the sole negligence, active negligence, or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees, and/or defects in design furnished by the Architect, as found by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction. The District shall have the right to accept or reject any legal representation that Xxxxxxxxx proposes to defend the Indemnitees. If any Indemnitee provides its own defense due to failure to timely respond to tender of defense, rejection of tender of defense, or conflict of interest of proposed counsel, Developer shall reimburse such Indemnitee for any expenditures. Developer’s defense obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or otherwise reduce any right or obligation of defense that would otherwise exist as to any Indemnitee or other person described herein. Developer’s defense obligation includes, but is not limited to, any failure or alleged failure by Developer to comply with any provision of law, any failure or alleged failure to timely and properly fulfill all of its obligations under the Contract Documents in strict accordance with their terms, and without limitation, any failure or alleged failure of Developer’s obligations regarding any stop payment notice actions or liens, including Civil Wage and Penalty Assessments and/or Orders by the DIR. Developer shall give prompt notice to the District in the event of any Claim(s). 16.3 Without limitation of the provisions herein, if Xxxxxxxxx’s obligation to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees or its obligation to defend Indemnitees as provided herein shall be determined to be void or unenforceable, in whole or in part, it is the intention of the Parties that these circumstances shall not otherwise affect the validity or enforceability of Developer’s agreement to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the rest of the Indemnitees, as provided herein. Further, Developer shall be and remain fully liable on its agreements and obligations herein to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(d) The actions causing liability are any act or omission (negligent or non-negligent) in connection with the matters covered by this contract and attributable to the Contractor, subcontractor(s), supplier(s), trucker(s), anyone for whose acts the Contractor may be liable, or any officer(s), agent(s) or employee(s) of one or more of them.

The City shall, in its sole discretion determine whether such assurances are reasonable. 12.3 Consultant agrees that its duty to defend arises upon an allegation of liability based upon the performance of services under this Agreement by Consultant, its officers, agents, representatives, employees, sub-consultants, or anyone for whom Consultant is liable and that an adjudication of Consultant’s liability is not a condition precedent to Consultant's duty to defend.
