ii. Certificates of insurance shall be furnished to the City upon execution of this
<br />Agreement and shall be approved in form by the City Attorney.
<br />iii. Certificates and policies shall state that the policies shall not be cancelled or
<br />reduced in coverage or changed in any other material aspect without thirty (30)
<br />days prior written notice to the City.
<br />f. If Contractor fails or refuses to produce or maintain the insurance required by this
<br />section 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 forthwith
<br />terminate this Agreement. Such termination shall not affect Contractor's right to be paid for its
<br />time and materials expended prior to notification of termination. Contractor waives the right to
<br />receive compensation and agrees to indemnify the City for any work performed prior to approval
<br />of insurance by the City.
<br />INDEMNIFICATION
<br />To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, defend and hold
<br />harmless City, its officers, agents and employees (collectively, the "indemnified parties ") from
<br />and against any and all claims (including, without limitation, claims for bodily injury, death or
<br />damage to property), demands, obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses,
<br />judgments, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
<br />attorney's fees, disbursements and court costs) of every kind and nature whatsoever (individually,
<br />a claim; collectively, "claims "), which may arise from or in any mariner related (directly or
<br />indirectly) to any work performed or services provided under this Agreement (including, without
<br />limitation, defects in workmanship and /or materials) or Consultant's presence or activities
<br />conducted performing the work (including the negligent and /or willful acts, errors and /or
<br />omissions of Consultant, its principals, officers, agents, employees, vendors, suppliers,
<br />contractors, subcontractors, anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them or for whose
<br />acts they may be liable for any or all of them). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein
<br />shall be construed to require Consultant to indemnify the indemnified parties from any claim
<br />arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified parties. This indemnity
<br />shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable.
<br />The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by
<br />the Consultant.
<br />S. LAWS AND REGULATIONS
<br />Consultant shall keep itself fully informed of and in compliance with all local, state and
<br />federal laws, rules and regulations in any manner affecting the performance of the Project or the
<br />services and shall give all notices required by law. Consultant shall be liable for all violations of
<br />such laws and regulations in connection with services. If the Consultant performs any work
<br />knowing it to be contrary to such laws, rules and regulations and without giving written notice to
<br />the City, Consultant shall be solely responsible for all costs arising wherefrom. Consultant shall
<br />defend, indemnify and hold City, its officials, directors, officers, employees and agents free and
<br />harmless, pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, from any claim or
<br />liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with such laws, rules or regulations.
<br />9. CONFIDENTIALITY
<br />If Consultant receives from the City information which due to the nature of such
<br />information is reasonably understood to be confidential and/or proprietary, Consultant agrees that
<br />it shall not use or disclose such information except in the performance of this Agreement, and
<br />further agrees to exercise the same degree of care it uses to protect its own information of like
<br />importance, but in no event less than reasonable care. "Confidential Information" shall include
