expense and risk, with legal counsel of Indemnitee's choosing, any and all such aforesaid suits, actions or
other legal proceedings of every kind that may be brought or instituted against the City, its respective

indemnify the City or any of the other Indemnitees, against liability for damages or any other loss,
damage or expense sustained, suffered or incurred on account of death or bodily injury to active persons
or injury to property caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or any of the other
Indemnitees set forth above. Therefore, if it is determined by legal proceedings or agreement, that the
Contractor has no direct contributory or incidental negligence or other obligation to the City or the other
Indemnitees, and the Contractor is in no way a proper party to a particular claim, then the Contractor shall
not be obligated to hold the City or any Indemnitees harmless with respect to said claim. However, until
such determination is made by legal proceedings or agreement, or if the Contractor is found to have any
degree of direct or contributory negligence or if it is determined that the Contractor is in any way or to
any degree a proper party to said claim, then the Contractor's obligations under all of the terms and
provisions of the preceding section shall remain in full force and effect.
17.4 Nothing in this provision, or elsewhere in the Contract Documents, shall be deemed to
relieve the Contractor of its duty to defend the City or any Indemnitee, as specified under this Article,
pending a determination of the respective liabilities of the City or any Indemnitee, by legal proceeding or
agreement.
17.5 In furtherance to, but not in limitation of the indemnity provisions in this Contract,
Contractor hereby expressly and specifically agrees that its obligation to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless as provided in this Contract shall not in any way be affected or diminished by any statutory or
constitutional immunity it enjoys from suits by its own employees or from limitations of liability or
recovery under workers' compensation laws.

records shall be certified and shall be available for inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal
office of Contractor in the manner provided in Labor Code section 1776. In the event of noncompliance
with the requirements of this section, Contractor shall have 10 days in which to comply subsequent to

City in enforcing such obligation.
As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless otherwise

Whenever Contractor shall be, and is declared by the City to be, in default under the Contract Documents,
