Common use of Indemnification by the City Clause in Contracts

Indemnification by the City. The BNSF Remediation Obligation obligates BNSF, in specified situations, to investigate, remediate, respond to or otherwise cure (collectively, “Remediate” or “Remediation”) certain environmental conditions related to releases of Hazardous Substances or the violation of any Environmental Law. Effective upon the closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and pursuant to the BNSF Deed and the Clarification to Assignment of BNSF Remediation Obligation described in Section 13.5 below, the Port assigns to the City all rights and obligations it holds to the BNSF Remediation Obligation in so far as those rights and obligations pertain to the Property. Thereafter, as between the City and the Port, the City will be responsible for all costs of Remediation of Hazardous Substances released on or from the Property or violations of any Environmental Law relating to the Property except to the extent (i) caused by or resulting from the acts of the Port or its officers, employees, agents or contractors, or (ii) materially exacerbated by the acts of the Port or its officers, employees, agents or contractors so as to release BNSF from or reduce its liability under the BNSF Remediation Obligation. The City shall have no duty to indemnify or defend the Port for Losses sustained as a result of claims (A) attributable to the operations of GNP and/or Eastside Community Rail, and (B) that arose during any period of time in which there was a lapse in the insurance required of GNP, Eastside Community Rail and/or Xxxxxxx Terminal Railroad Company LLC (subcontractor to Eastside Community Rail) by the O&M Agreement. The Port agrees that in the event the City is required to Remediate Hazardous Substances released on or from the Property, the Port shall cooperate with the City to obtain reimbursement of costs of Remediation from BNSF as provided in the BNSF Remediation Obligation found in the BNSF Deed. The City’s obligations under this Section 13 do not include any losses for which the Port is required to provide indemnification under Section 14.
