<br />employees, consultants, special counsel, and representatives from liability: (1) for personal injury,
<br />damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief arising out of claims for personal injury,
<br />including death, and claims for property damage, which may arise from the negligence or willful
<br />misconduct of the Contractor or its, subcontractors, agents, employees, or other persons acting on their
<br />behalf which relates to the services described in section 1 of this Agreement; and (2) from any claim that
<br />personal injury, damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief is due by reason of the
<br />terms 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 have
<br />been suffered, by reason of the events referred to in this Section or by reason of the terms of, or effects,
<br />arising from this Agreement. The Contractor further agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and pay all costs
<br />for the defense of the City, including fees and costs for special counsel to be selected by the City, regarding

<br />damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief due to personal or property rights arises
<br />by reason of the terms of, or effects arising from this Agreement. City may make all reasonable decisions
