<br />this section or fails or refuses to furnish the City with required proof that
<br />insurance has been procured and, is in force and paid for, the City shall have the
<br />right, at the City's election, to terminate this Agreement. Such termination shall

<br />for property darmage, which may arise from the negligent operations of the Consultant
<br />or its Consultants, subcontractors, agents, employees, or other persons acting on their
<br />behalf which relates to the services described in section I of this Agreement; and (2)
<br />frorn any claim that personal injury, damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial
<br />or equitable relief is due by reason of the terms of or effects arising from this
<br />Agreement. This indemnity and hold harmless agreement applies to all claims for
<br />darnages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief suffered, or alleged

<br />to indemnify, hold harmless, and pay all costs for the defense of the City, including
