<br />indemnify, defend and hold the other, its elected and appointed officials, employees, agents and volunteers,
<br />harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses and expenses, including but not limited to court
<br />costs, attorney's fees and alternative dispute resolution costs, for any and all claims for personal injury, bodily injury,
<br />sickness, disease, death, damage to or destruction of any property (including the loss of use resulting therefrom),
<br />or (solely with Customer as indemnifying party) any breach of Data Privacy Laws, which are alleged or proven to
<br />be caused by an act or omission, negligent or otherwise, of it, its elected and appointed officials, employees, agents
<br />or volunteers.
<br />Each of Integrity and County shall not be required to indemnify, defend, or hold the other harmless if the
<br />claim, damage, loss or expense for personal injury, for any bodily injury, sickness, disease or death or for any
<br />damage to or destruction of any property (including the loss of use resulting therefrom) is caused by the sole act
<br />or omission of the other.
<br />In the event of any concurrent act or omission of Integrity and County, negligent or otherwise, these
<br />indemnity provisions shall be valid and enforceable only to the extent of each such party's comparative liability.
<br />Each of Integrity and County agrees to maintain a consolidated defense to claims made against them and
<br />to reserve all indemnity claims against each other until after liability to the claimant and damages, if any, are

<br />immunity afforded by such acts to the extent required by its obligations to indemnify, defend and hold the other
<br />harmless. Integrity's and County's waiver of immunity does not extend to claims made by its employees directly
<br />against Integrity or County as employer. The foregoing indemnification obligations of Integrity and County are a
<br />material inducement to enter into this Agreement and have been mutually negotiated.
