HOLD HARMLESS AND RESPONSIBILITY OF CONSULTANTS. Consultant shall take responsibility for the work, shall bear all losses and damages directly or indirectly resulting to him, to any subconsultant, to the City, to City officers and employees, or to parties designated by the City, on account of the performance or character of the work, unforeseen difficulties, accidents, occurrences or other causes predicated on active or passive negligence of the Consultant or of any subconsultant. Consultant shall indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officers, officials, director, and employees from and against any or all loss, liability, expense, costs (including costs of defense), suits, and damages directly or indirectly arising from the performance of the work, to the extent caused by the negligence of the Consultant. This paragraph shall not be construed to exempt the City, its employees and officers from its own fraud, willful injury or violation of law whether willful or negligent.

By execution of this Agreement, Consultant acknowledges and agrees that it has read and understands the provisions hereof and that this paragraph is a material element of consideration.
