provided in this Section 10, to defend and indemnify the City from any and all Claims arising out
<br /> or relating to the performance of this Agreement by Service Provider(or by its employees,agents,
<br /> representatives or subcontractors/subconsultants), whether such Claims sound in contract, tort, or
<br /> any other legal theory. The Service Provider is obligated to defend and indemnify the City
<br /> pursuant to this Section 10 whether a Claim is asserted directly against the City, or whether it is
<br /> asserted indirectly against the City, e.g., a Claim is asserted against someone else who then seeks
<br /> contribution or indemnity from the City. The Service Provider's duty to defend and indemnify
<br /> pursuant to this Section 10 is not in any way limited to, or by the extent of, insurance obtained by,
<br /> obtainable by, or required of the Service Provider. The Service Provider's obligations under this
<br /> Section 10 shall not apply to Claims caused by the sole negligence of the City. If (1) RCW
<br /> 4.24.115 applies to a particular Claim, and (2) such Claim is caused by or results from the
<br /> concurrent negligence of(a)the Service Provider, its employees,subcontractors/subconsultants or
<br /> agents and (b) the City, then the Service Provider's obligations under this Section 10 shall apply
<br /> only to the extent allowed by RCW 4.24.115. Solely and expressly for the purpose of its duties to
<br /> indemnify and defend the City,the Service Provider specifically waives any immunity it may have
<br /> under the State Industrial Insurance Law, Title 51 RCW. The Service Provider recognizes that
<br /> this waiver of immunity under Title 51 RCW was specifically entered into pursuant to the
<br /> provisions of RCW 4.24.115 and was the subject of mutual negotiation. As used in this Section
<br /> 10: (1)"City"includes the City,the City's officers,employees,agents,and representatives and(2)

<br /> relief, and irrespective of whether the damage alleged is bodily injury, damage to property,
<br /> economic loss, general damages, special damages, or punitive damages. If, and to the extent,
<br /> Service Provider employs or engages subconsultants or subcontractors,then Service Provider shall
<br /> ensure that each such subconsultant and subcontractor(and subsequent tiers of subconsultants and
<br /> subcontractors) shall expressly agree to defend and indemnify the City to the extent and on the
