<br />or fails or refuses to furnish the City with required proof that insurance has been procured
<br />and is in force and paid for, the City shall have the right, at the City's election, to
<br />forthwith terminate this Agreement. Such termination shall not affect Consultant's right
<br />to be paid for its time and materials expended prior to notification of termination.
<br />Consultant waives the right to receive compensation and agrees to indemnify the City for
<br />any work performed prior to approval of insurance by the City.
<br />8. INDEMNIFICATION

<br />injury, including death, and claims for property damage, which may arise from the negligent operations
<br />of the Consultant, its subcontractors, agents, employees, or other persons acting on its behalf which
<br />relates to the services described in section 1 of this Agreement; and (2) from any claim that personal
<br />injury, damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief is due by reason of the terms
<br />of or effects arising from this Agreement. This indemnity and hold harmless agreement applies to all
<br />claims for damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief suffered, or alleged to
<br />have been suffered, by reason of the events referred to in this Section or by reason of the terms of, or
<br />effects, arising from this Agreement. The Consultant further agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and
<br />pay all costs for the defense of the City, including fees and costs for special counsel to be selected by the
<br />City, regarding any action by a third party challenging the validity of this Agreement, or asserting that
<br />personal injury, damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief due to personal or
<br />property rights arises by reason of the terms of, or effects arising from this Agreement. City may make
<br />all reasonable decisions with respect to its representation in any legal proceeding. Notwithstanding the
<br />foregoing, to the extent Consultant's services are subject to Civil Code Section 2782.8, the above
<br />indemnity shall be limited, to the extent required by Civil Code Section 2782.8, to claims that arise out
<br />of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Consultant.
