<br />Agreement to defend and/or indemnify the City to the extent that any of the damage or injury is
<br />caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its agents or employees.
<br />172 Developer's obligations under this Section 17 are not conditioned or dependent
<br />upon the City, or its officers, agents and employees, whether the City prepared, supplied or
<br />reviewed any Improvement Plans or related specifications in connection with the Subdivision or
<br />the Improvements, or whether the City has insurance or other indemnification covering any of
<br />these matters.
<br />173 Developer's obligation to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the City shall
<br />extend to injuries to persons and damages to or alleged taking of property resulting from the
<br />design or construction of the Subdivision, and the Improvements required herein, and shall
<br />likewise extend to adjacent property owners asserting claims based upon the diversion of waters
<br />caused by the Developer's design or construction of public drainage systems, streets, and other
<br />public facilities or Improvements. The City's acceptance of the improvements shall not constitute
<br />an assumption by the City of any responsibility or liability for any damage or alleged taking of

<br />Improvements Plans or the final Map. After City's acceptance of the Improvements, the

<br />any acts or omissions in approving, reviewing, checking, correcting or modifying any

<br />or construction of Improvements. The Developer's improvement security shall not be required to
<br />secure the Developers obligations under this Subsection 17.3 beyond the one-year guarantee and
<br />warranty period. If, in any judicial proceedings involving statutory immunity under the Tort
<br />Claims Act (Government Code 810, et seq.) asserted by the City, or its officers, agents or
<br />employees, is deterarrined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be inapplicable or unavailable to
<br />immunize the City, or its officers, agents or employees, from potential liability for any alleged
<br />acts or omissions under this Subsection 17.3, then such rights or obligations of indemnity
<br />hereunder shall be govensed by principles of comparative fault.
