Defense and Indemnification 12.1 Consultant agrees to indemnify, defend (with attorneys approved by City), and hold harmless the City, and its officers, officials, agents and employees (the “Indemnified Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, costs or liability that arise out of, or pertain to, or relate to the Consultant, its employees, agents, and subcontractors performance of services under this Agreement. Consultant’s duty to indemnify under this section shall not include liability for damages for death or bodily injury to persons, injury to property, or other loss, damage or expense arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct by the City or its elected officials, officers, agents, and employees. Consultant's indemnification obligations shall not be limited by the insurance provisions of this Agreement. The Parties expressly agree that any payment, attorney's fees, costs or expense City incurs or makes to or on behalf of an injured employee under the City's self-administered workers' compensation is included as a loss, expense, or cost for the purposes of this section, and that this section will survive the expiration or early termination of this Agreement. 12.2 This indemnity is in addition to any other rights or remedies which City may have under the law or this Agreement. In the event of any claim or demand made against any party which is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, City may, at its sole discretion, reserve, retain or apply any monies due to Consultant under this Agreement for the purpose of resolving such claims; provided however, that City may release such funds if Consultant provides City with reasonable assurances of protection of the City's interest. 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.
HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFICATION To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall defend (with counsel of District’s choosing), indemnify and hold the District, its officials, officers, employees, volunteers and agents free and harmless from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, liability, loss, damage or injury of any kind, in law or equity, to property or persons, including wrongful death, in any manner arising out of, pertaining to, or incident to any alleged acts, errors or omissions, or willful misconduct of Contractor, its officials, officers, employees, subcontractors, Contractors or agents in connection with the performance of the Contractor's Services, the Project or this Agreement, including without limitation the payment of all consequential damages, expert witness fees and attorneys fees and other related costs and expenses. Contractor shall reimburse District and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and/or volunteers, for any and all legal expenses and costs incurred by each of them in connection therewith or in enforcing the indemnity herein provided. Contractor's obligation to indemnify shall not be restricted to insurance proceeds, if any, received by the District, its directors, officials officers, employees, agents, or volunteers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Contractor's Services are subject to Civil Code Section 2782.8, the above indemnity shall be limited, to the extent required by Civil Code Section 2782.8, to claims that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor. Contractor agrees to waive all rights of subrogation against the District. a) THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ARTICLE VIII, PARAGRAPH 1 OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE THE SOLE INDEMNITY, AS DEFINED BY CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE § 2772, GOVERNING THIS AGREEMENT. ANY OTHER INDEMNITY THAT MAY BE ATTACHED TO THIS AGREEMENT AS AN EXHIBIT SHALL BE VOID AND UNENFORCEABLE BETWEEN THE PARTIES. b) ANY ATTEMPT TO LIMIT THE CONTRACTOR’S LIABILITY TO THE DISTRICT IN AN ATTACHED EXHIBIT SHALL BE VOID AND UNENFORCEABLE BETWEEN THE DISTRICT AND THE CONTRACTOR.
Release and Indemnification The Company hereby (i) releases the Issuer, its governing body members, officers, agents, including independent contractors, consultants and legal counsel, servants and employees (hereinafter, for purposes of this Section, the “indemnified parties”) from, (ii) agrees that the indemnified parties shall not be liable for, and (iii) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified parties from and against (except for matters directly resulting from the negligence, breach of contract, willful misconduct, bad faith or recklessness of an indemnified party or their agents) all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses, suits, claims, settlements and judgments, of any nature whatsoever arising from or related in any manner whatsoever to the acquisition, improving, equipping, ownership, leasing or operation of the Facilities or any activities related to the foregoing or to the failure of the Company to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement. All covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements and obligations of the Issuer contained herein shall not be deemed to be the covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements and obligations of any governing body member, officer, agent, consultant and legal counsel, servant or employee of the Issuer in the individual capacity thereof. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal or Redemption Price of or Purchase Price or interest on the Bonds or for any claim based thereon or hereunder against the Issuer or any governing body member, officer, agent, consultants and legal counsel, servant or employee of the Issuer or any natural person executing the Bonds or pertaining to their sale, delivery, payment, redemption or Mandatory Purchase or Optional Tender Purchase. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be responsible or liable for any market loss suffered in connection with the investment of funds made in accordance with the Indenture, or, absent failure on the part of the Trustee to follow clear and reasonable instructions of the Company for investing moneys, shall have any liability for nonpayment of interest on any uninvested moneys that the Trustee may hold at any time in trust or receive under any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Indenture, except as otherwise specifically agreed in writing. Promptly after receipt by the Issuer or Trustee, as the case may be, or any such other indemnified person of notice of the commencement of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company under this Section, such person will notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, the Company shall assume the defense of such action (including the employment of counsel who shall be counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, Trustee or such other person as the case may be, and the payment of expenses). Insofar as such action shall relate to any alleged liability in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company, the Issuer or any such other indemnified person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the Company unless the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized by the Company. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify any person for any settlement of any such action effect without its consent.
Exculpation and Indemnification (a) No Member, Manager, Officer, employee or agent of the Company and no affiliate, stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent of the Member (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) shall be liable to the Company or any other person or entity who is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
