If the Consultant fails to accept or reject a <br />tender of defense, hold harmless and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any other remedy authorized <br />by law, so much of the money due the Consultant under and by virtue of this Agreement as shall <br />reasonably be considered necessary by the City, may be retained by the City until disposition has been <br />made of the claim or suit for damages, or until the Consultant accepts or rejects the tender of defense, <br />whichever occurs first. <br /> <br />Consultant shall also indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City from all suits or claims for infringement <br />of any patent rights, copyrights, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, or any other <br />proprietary rights of any person or persons because of the City or any of its officers, officials, employees, <br />volunteers, or agents use of articles, products things, or services supplied in the performance of <br />Consultant’s services under this Agreement, however, the cost to defend charged to Consultant shall not <br />exceed Consultant’s proportionate percentage fault. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: C0E092D4-CA18-4010-853D-AB1E26C6180C <br />148
