<br />(i) Contractor shall maintain all insurance required above in full force and effect for
<br />the entire period covered by this Agreement.
<br />(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 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
<br />and paid for, the City shall have the right, at the City's election, to forthwith terminate this Agreement.
<br />Such termination shall not effect Contractor's right to be paid for its time and materials expended prior
<br />to notification of termination. Contractor waives the right to receive compensation and agrees to
<br />indemnify the City for any work performed prior to approval of insurance by the City.
<br />6. INDEMNIFICATION
<br />Contractor agrees to and shall indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officers, agents,
<br />employees, Contractors, special counsel, and representatives from liability: (1) for personal injury,
<br />damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief arising out of claims for personal
<br />injury, including health, and claims for property damage, which may arise from the direct or indirect
<br />operations of the Contractor or its contractors, subcontractors, agents, employees, or other persons
<br />acting on their behalf which relates to the services described in section 1 of this Agreement; and (2}
<br />from any claim that personal injury, damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or equitable relief
<br />is due by reason of the terms of or effects arising from this Agreement. This indemnity and hold
<br />harmless agreement applies to all claims for damages, just compensation, restitution, judicial or
<br />equitable relief suffered, or alleged to have been suffered, by reason of the events referred to in this
<br />Section or by reason of the terms of, or effects, arising from this Agreement. The Contractor further
<br />agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and pay all costs for the defense of the City, including fees and
<br />costs for special counsel to be selected by the City, regarding any action by a third party challenging
<br />the validity of this Agreement, or asserting that personal injury, damages, just compensation,
<br />restitution, judicial or equitable relief due to personal or property rights arises by reason of the terms
<br />of, or effects arising from this Agreement. City may make all reasonable decisions with respect to its
<br />representation in any legal proceeding.
<br />7. 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
<br />the same degree of care it uses to protect its own information of like importance, but in no event less
<br />than 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
<br />and nondisclosure shall not apply to any information that (a) has been disclosed in publicly available
<br />sources; (b) is, through no fault of the Contractor disclosed in a publicly available source; {c) is in
<br />rightful possession of the Contractor without an obligation of confidentiality; (d) is required to be
<br />disclosed by operation of law; or (e) is independently developed by the Contractor without reference to
<br />information disclosed by the City.
