(iii) Certificates and policies shall state that the policies shall not be canceled or
<br />reduced in coverage or changed in any other material aspect without thirty (30)
<br />days prior written notice to the City.
<br />e. If Contractor fails or refuses to produce or maintain the insurance required by this section or
<br />fails or refuses to furnish the City with required proof that insurance has been procured and is in force and
<br />paid for, the City shall have the right, at the City's election, to forthwith terminate this Agreement. Such
<br />termination shall not effect Contractor's right to be paid for its time and materials expended prior to
<br />notification of termination. Contractor waives the right to receive compensation and agrees to indemnify
<br />the City for any work performed prior to approval of insurance by the City.
<br />S. INDEMNIFICATION
<br />To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
<br />City, its officers, agents and employees (collectively, the "indemnified parties") from and against any and
<br />all claims (including, without limitation, claims for bodily injury, death or damage to property), demands,
<br />obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses, judgments, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs
<br />and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney's fees, disbursements and court costs) of every kind
<br />and nature whatsoever (individually, a claim; collectively, "claims"), which may arise from or in any
<br />manner relate (directly or indirectly) to any work performed or services provided under this contract
<br />(including, without limitation, defects in workmanship and/or materials) or Contractor's presence or
<br />activities conducted performing the work (including the negligent and/or willful acts, errors and/or
<br />omissions of Contractor, its principals, officers, agents, employees, vendors, suppliers, contractors,
<br />subcontractors, anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them or for whose acts they may be
<br />liable for any or all of them). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require
<br />Contractor to indemnify the indemnified parties from any claim arising from the sole negligence or
<br />willful misconduct of the indemnified parties. This indemnity shall apply to all claims and liability
<br />regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation
<br />upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by the contractor.
<br />9. CONFIDENTIALITY
<br />If Contractor receives from the City information which due to the nature of such information is
<br />reasonably understood to be confidential and/or proprietary, Contractor agrees that it shall not use or
<br />disclose such information except in the performance of this Agreement, and further agrees to exercise the
<br />same degree of care it uses to protect its own information of like importance, but in no event less than
<br />reasonable care. "Confidential Information" shall include all nonpublic information. Confidential
<br />information includes not only written information, but also information transferred orally, visually,
<br />electronically, or by other means. Confidential information disclosed to either party by any subsidiary
<br />and/or agent of the other party is covered by this Agreement. The foregoing obligations of non-use and
<br />nondisclosure shall not apply to any information that (a) has been disclosed in publicly available sources;
<br />(b) is, through no fault of the Contractor disclosed in a publicly available source; (c) is in rightful
<br />possession of the Contractor without an obligation of confidentiality; (d) is required to be disclosed by
<br />operation of law; or (e) is independently developed by the Contractor without reference to information
<br />disclosed by the City.
<br />10. CONFLICT OF INTEREST CLAUSE
<br />Contractor covenants that it presently has no interests and shall not have interests, direct or
<br />indirect, which would conflict in any manner with performance of services specified under this
<br />Agreement.
