<br />applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations prohibiting discrimination and
<br />harassment.
<br />14. Indemnity. Except as to the sole negligence, active negligence or willful
<br />misconduct of City, Vendor will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless (collectively,
<br />“Indemnify”) City, and its employees, officers, managers, agents and council members
<br />(collectively, “Indemnitees”), against and from any loss, damage, claim for damage,
<br />liability, expense or cost, including attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Losses”), which arises
<br />out of, is related to, or is in any manner connected with the Goods and Services and/or
<br />the performance of work, activities, operations or duties of Vendor, or anyone employed
<br />by or working under Vendor, and from all Losses by anyone employed by or working
<br />under Vendor for services rendered to Vendor in the performance of this Agreement,
<br />notwithstanding that City may have benefited from their services. This indemnification
<br />provision will, without limitation, apply to any acts or omissions, willful misconduct or
<br />negligent conduct, whether active or passive, on the part of Vendor or of anyone
<br />employed by or working under Vendor. Losses will include, without limitation, allegations
<br />that the Goods are defective in manufacture or design and allegations that the Goods or
<br />Services infringe any patent or other intellectual property right belonging to a third party.
<br />Vendor will promptly defend the Indemnitees pursuant to this Section, whether or not
<br />applicable claims, allegations, lawsuits or proceedings (collectively, “Proceedings”) have
<br />merit or are meritless, and whether or not such Proceedings involve claims or allegations
<br />that any of the Indemnitees were actively, passively or concurrently negligent, or which
<br />otherwise assert that the Indemnitees are responsible, in whole or in part, for any loss,
<br />damage or injury. Vendor agrees to provide this defense immediately upon written notice
<br />from City, and with well qualified, adequately insured and experienced legal counsel
<br />acceptable to City.
<br />The Parties expressly agree that any payment, attorneys’ fees, costs or expense that City
<br />incurs or makes to or on behalf of an injured employee under City’s self-administered
<br />workers’ compensation is included as a loss, expense or cost for the purposes of this
<br />Section, and that this Section will survive the expiration or early termination of the
<br />Agreement.
