A. For and in consideration of waiver by the County of the insurance and surety bond requirements for projects which may be undertaken by the City, involving a disturbance of any right of way of the County within the corporate limits of the City, the City does hereby agree that it shall indemnify, keep and save harmless the County, its agents, officials and employees, against all injuries, deaths, loss, damages, claims, patent claims, suits, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses, which may in anywise accrue against the County in consequence of the granting of this agreement or which may in anywise result therefrom, whether or not it shall be alleged or determined that the act was caused through negligence or omission of the City or its employees, of a subcontractor or his employees, if any, and the City shall, at its own expense, appear, defend and pay all charges of attorneys and costs and other expenses arising therefrom or incurred in connection therewith, and if any judgment shall be rendered against the County in any such action, City shall, at its own expense, satisfy and discharge the same. The City expressly understands and agrees that any performance bond or insurance protection required by this agreement, or otherwise provided by the City shall in no way limit the responsibility to indemnify, keep and save harmless and defend the County as herein provided.
