<br />regulations of federal, state, county, and municipal governments, as well as their respective departments,

<br />SECTION 27 INDEMNITY
<br />The CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the CITY and all of the CITY's officers, agents,

<br />expenses, attorneys' fees, and court costs which may arise because of the negligence (whether active or
<br />passive), misconduct, or other fault, in whole or in part (whether joint, concurrent, or contributing), of the
<br />CONTRACTOR, its officers, agents or employees or subcontractors in performance or non-performance of its
<br />obligations under the Agreement. The CONTRACTOR recognizes the broad nature of this indemnification and
<br />hold harmless clause, as well as the provision of a legal defense to the CITY when necessary, and voluntarily
<br />makes this covenant and expressly acknowledges the receipt of such good and valuable consideration provided
<br />by the CITY in support of these indemnification, legal defense and hold harmless contractual obligations in
<br />accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. This clause shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
<br />Compliance with any insurance requirements required elsewhere within, this Agreement shall not relieve the
<br />CONTRACTOR of its liability and obligation to defend, hold harmless and indemnify the CITY as set forth in this
<br />article of the Agreement. The CITY will be permitted to choose legal counsel of its choice. The CONTRACTOR
<br />shall require each of its agents/subcontractors to agree in writing to the provisions of this paragraph.
