Except to the <br /> extent prohibited by law, this indemnity applies regardless of any strict <br /> liability or negligence attributable to the City (including sole negligence) and <br /> regardless of the extent to which the underlying occurrence (i.e.,the event <br /> giving rise to a claim which would have been covered by the specified <br /> insurance) is attributable to the negligent or otherwise wrongful act or <br /> omission (including breach of contract) of Consultant,its subcontractors, <br /> agents, employees, or delegates. Consultant agrees that this indemnity shall <br /> be construed and applied in favor of indemnification. Consultant also agrees <br /> that if applicable law limits or precludes any aspect of this indemnity,then <br /> the indemnity will be considered limited only to the extent necessary to <br /> comply with that applicable law. The stated indemnity continues until all <br /> applicable statutes of limitation have run. <br /> If a claim arises within the scope of the stated indemnity,the City may <br /> require Consultant to: <br /> a. Furnish and pay for a surety bond, satisfactory to the City, <br /> guaranteeing performance of the indemnity obligation, or <br /> b. Furnish a written acceptance of tender of defense and indemnity <br /> from Consultant's insurance company. <br /> Consultant will take the action required by the City within fifteen (15) days of <br /> receiving notice from the City. <br /> 21.
