<br /> Service Provider's duty to defend and indemnify pursuant to this paragraph is not in any way
<br /> limited to, or by the extent of, insurance obtained by, obtainable by, or required of the Service
<br /> Provider. The Service Provider shall not indemnify the City for Claims caused solely by the
<br /> negligence of the City. If(1) RCW 4.24.115 applies to a particular Claim, and (2) the bodily
<br /> injury or damage to property for which the Service Provider is to indemnify the City is caused by
<br /> or results from the concurrent negligence of (a) the Service Provider, its employees,
<br /> subcontractors/subconsultants or agents and (b) the City, then the Service Provider's duty to
<br /> indemnify shall be valid and enforceable only to the extent allowed by RCW 4.24.115. Solely and
<br /> expressly for the purpose of its duties to indemnify and defend the City, the Service Provider
<br /> specifically waives any immunity it may have under the State Industrial Insurance Law, Title 51
<br /> RCW. The Service Provider recognizes that this waiver of immunity under Title 51 RCW was
<br /> specifically entered into pursuant to the provisions of RCW 4.24.11,5 and was the subject of
<br /> mutual negotiation. As used in this paragraph: (1) "City" includes the City's officers, employees,
<br /> agents, and representatives and (2) 'Claims" include, but is not limited to, any and all losses,
<br /> claims, demands, expenses (including, but not limited to, attorney's fees and litigation expenses),
<br /> suits,judgments, or damage, irrespective of the type of relief sought or demanded, such as money
<br /> or injunctive relief, and irrespective of whether the damage alleged is bodily injury, damage to
<br /> property, economic loss, general damages, special damages, or punitive damages. If, and to the
<br /> extent, Service Provider employs or engages subconsultants or subcontractors, then Service
<br /> Provider shall ensure that each such subconsultant and subcontractor (and subsequent tiers of
<br /> subconsultants and subcontractors) shall expressly agree to defend and indemnify the City to the
<br /> extent and on the same terms and conditions as the Service Provider pursuant to this paragraph.
