(a) changes in, revisions to, substitutions for, additions to or deletions of any Work; (b) changes

Contractor in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, terminate the Agreement, and at the County's option,
obtain performance of the work elsewhere. If the Agreement is terminated for default, the Contractor
shall not be entitled to receive any further payments under the Agreement until all work called for has
been fully performed. Any extra cost or damage to the County resulting from such default(s) shall be

work. Termination of this Agreement by the County at any time during the term, whether for default or
convenience, shall not constitute a breach of contract by the County.

harmless the County, its Additional Insured’s, appointed and elective officers, agents and employees,
from and against all loss or expense, including but not limited to judgments, settlements, attorney's fees

elected or appointed officials, agents, or employees for damages because of personal or bodily injury,
including death at any time resulting therefrom, sustained by any person or persons and on account of
damage to property including loss of use thereof, when such injury to persons or damage to property is
due to the negligence of the Contractor, its sub‐Contractors, its elected officers, employees or their
agents, except only such injury or damage as shall have been occasioned by the sole negligence of the
County, its Additional Insured’s, appointed or elected officials, agents, or employees. It is further
provided that no liability shall attach to the County by reason of entering into this contract, except as
expressly provided herein.
16. Industrial Insurance Waiver: With respect to the performance of this Agreement and as to claims against
the County, its Additional Insured’s, officers, agents and employees, the Contractor expressly waives its
immunity under Title 51 of the Revised Code of Washington, the Industrial Insurance Act, for injuries to
its employees and agrees that the obligations to indemnify, defend and hold harmless provided in this
agreement extend to any claim brought by or on behalf of any employee of the Contractor. This waiver
is mutually negotiated by the parties to this Agreement.
