<br /> 15.9 At its own expense, SLIA shall obtain, pay for, and maintain for the duration of the
<br /> Agreement, complete workers' compensation insurance. SLIA shall provide proof of
<br /> workers' compensation coverage by delivering to City either an insurance certificate or a
<br /> certificate of consent to self-insure. The City shall not be responsible for any claims at law
<br /> or in equity caused by SLIA's failure to comply with this paragraph. All workers'
<br /> compensation insurance policies shall bear an endorsement, or shall attach a rider, which
<br /> provides that the insurer will notify City, by registered mail, at least thirty(30)days in
<br /> advance of the policy's expiration, termination or cancellation.

<br /> the required certificate(s) of insurance and endorsement(s) to the City within thirty (30)
<br /> days of the first transfer of funds under this Agreement. SLIA's failure to obtain, pay for,
<br /> or maintain any required insurance shall constitute a material breach upon which City may
<br /> immediately terminate or suspend this Agreement. In the event of any termination or
<br /> suspension, City may use the services of another consultant or consultants, without City
<br /> incurring any liability to SLIA. At its sole discretion, City may obtain or renew SLIA's
<br /> insurance, and City may pay all or part of the premiums. Upon demand, SLIA shall pay
<br /> City all monies paid to obtain or renew the insurance. City may offset the cost of the
<br /> premium against any monies due SLIA from City.
<br /> 16. Laws. SLIA shall comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and rules of all applicable
<br /> governmental authorities.

<br /> agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless to the maximum extent permitted by law, the
<br /> San Leandro Successor Agency, the City of San Leandro and its elected and appointed
<br /> officials, officers agents and employees ("Indemnitees"), from and against any and all
<br /> liabilities, suits, proceedings,judgments, claims, charges, damages, liens, causes of action,
<br /> losses or injuries (whether in contract or in tort, including personal injury, accidental death
<br /> or property damage, and regardless of whether the allegations are false, fraudulent or
<br /> groundless), costs and expenses (including attorney's fees, litigation, arbitration.
<br /> mediation, appeal expenses) which in whole or in part arise out of or are connected with acts
<br /> or omissions of, performance of, or breach of this Agreement by SLIA or SLIA's
<br /> independent contractors, agents, employees or delegates. In the event of any such claim,
<br /> demand, proceeding or lawsuit against the Indemnitees, SLIA agrees to assume the
<br /> immediate defense of Indemnitees by hiring and paying for legal counsel acceptable to
<br /> City. SLIA's obligations under this paragraph shall apply, regardless of any sole, active
<br /> and/or passive negligence of City, regardless of any willful misconduct of Indemnitees, and
<br /> regardless of the degree of SLIA's or Indemnitee's fault in causing the harm that results in
<br /> the claim, demand, proceeding or lawsuit.
<br /> 18. Political Prohibition. Subject to applicable State and Federal laws, monies paid pursuant to
<br /> this agreement shall not be used for political purposes, sponsoring or conducting
