This indemnification does not apply to any liability resulting from the negligent acts or omissions of the City or its employees, to the extent of such negligence. Consultant shall defend Indemnitee, with counsel satisfactory to the City Attorney, from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities or costs, including reasonable attorney fees and court costs, included in the indemnification above if the claim is not based wholly or partly on the negligence of, fault of or breach of contract by Indemnitee.

ARTICLE VII - TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT 7.1 By Consultant: 7.1.1 The City reserves the right to suspend this Agreement at the end of any phase for the convenience of the City by issuing a written and signed Notice of Suspension.

There will be no compensation for anticipated profits on services not completed. 7.3.4 Consultant acknowledges that City is a public entity and has a duty to document the expenditure of public funds.
