<br />any related application, permit, certification, condition, environmental determination,

<br />of the Project, any application, permit, certification, condition, environmental
<br />determination, other approval, change in applicable laws and regulations, or change in
<br />processing methods shall alter the applicant’s indemnity obligation. Per Government
<br />Code Section 66474.9, Applicant’s indemnification obligation with respect to any

<br />reason. The City shall promptly notify Applicant of any such claim, action or proceeding
<br />and shall cooperate fully in the defense. [COA][OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY]
