The Indemnified Person (a) shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of the Claim promptly after becoming aware thereof (including a statement of facts known to the Indemnified Person related to the Claim and an estimate of the amount thereof); (b) prior to taking any material action with respect to a Third Party Claim, shall consult with the Indemnifying Party as to the procedure to be followed in defending, settling, or compromising the Claim; (c) shall not consent to any settlement or compromise of a Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party; (d) shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim (including, except as provided below, the compromise or settlement thereof) at the Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense, provided, however, that the Indemnified Person shall have the right to approve the Indemnifying Party's choice of legal counsel.
Indemnification/Hold Harmless As a separate and independent covenant from CONTRACTOR’s obligations under Section 22 hereof, CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, protect, defend with counsel acceptable to the CITY, and hold CITY and CITY’s officers, employees, agents, and volunteers harmless and free from any and all claims, liabilities, or expenses, including attorney’s fees, arising out of or relating to any negligent act, negligent omission, or wrongful conduct, or any loss, damage, or injury (including, but not limited to, death or other injury that is sustained from any communicable disease), related in any way to CONTRACTOR’s performance of its services pursuant to this Agreement. In the event CITY and/or any of CITY’s officers, employees, agents, or volunteers are named in any lawsuit, or should any claim be made against it or any of them by lawsuit or otherwise arising out of or relating to such negligent act, negligent omission, wrongful conduct, or any loss, damage, or injury (including, but not limited to, death or other injury that is sustained from any communicable disease), CONTRACTOR shall indemnify them for any judgment rendered against them for such negligent act, negligent omission, wrongful act, or any loss, damage, or injury (including, but not limited to, death or other injury that is sustained from any communicable disease), any sums paid out in settlement or otherwise, and all costs incurred by them in their defense, including but not limited to attorney’s fees. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ also understands and agrees that it is being employed to perform the services provided for by this Agreement because of CONTRACTOR’s professed expertise and experience in performing such services. In addition, CONTRACTOR understands and agrees that while CITY or CITY’s officers, employees, agents, or volunteers may elect to do so, they have no duty to review, inspect, monitor, or supervise the work performed by CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement except as otherwise expressly provided for by this Agreement. As a consequence, CONTRACTOR waives any right of contribution against CITY or any of CITY’s officers, employees, agents, or volunteers arising out of such failure to inspect, review, monitor, or supervise the work performed by CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement. CONTRACTOR’s obligations under this Section of the Agreement shall survive the termination of the Agreement.
