10. (a) The City, to the extent permitted by law and only
from lawfully available monies of the City, will indemnify and hold
harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an
Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, (i) to which such Underwriter or such controlling person may
become subject, under Federal laws or regulations or otherwise, inso-
far as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of any material fact relating to the City
as set forth in the Official Statement, including the Appendices, or
any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Preliminary Official
Statement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission therefrom of any statement or information relating to the
City which is necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
in any material respect; provided, however, that with respect to any
untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission
made in any such Official Statement, the indemnity agreement con-
tained in this paragraph shall not inure to the benefit of the
Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities purchased the Bonds concerned (or to the bene-
fit of any person controlling such Underwriter), to the extent that
any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Underwriter or con-
trolling person results from the fact that a copy of the Official
Statement, as then supplemented or amended, was not sent or given to
such person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of
such Bonds; and (ii) to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in
settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened arising from a
claim based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue state-
ment or omission or alleged omission if such settlement is effected
with the written consent of the City; and will reimburse any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or controlling
person thereof in connection with investigating or defending any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action. The City will assume the
defense of any action against the Underwriters or such controlling
person or any of them or any officer or employee of any Underwriter
based upon allegations of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action, including the retaining of counsel not unsatisfactory to the
Underwriters and the payment of counsel fees and all other expenses
relating to such defense, provided, however, that any Underwriter or
any such controlling person may retain separate counsel in any such
action and may participate in the defense thereof at the expense of
such Underwriter or such controlling person unless such retaining of
separate counsel has been specifically authorized by the City. This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the
City may otherwise have.
(b) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indem-
nified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against an indemnifying party under this Section, notify the indemni-
fying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so tc
notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability
which it may have to any idemnified party otherwise than under this
Section. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified
-18-
�.l
party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party (i) will assume the defense thereof
if and as required under this Section, or (ii) if not required to
assume the defense, will be entitled to participate in, and, to the
extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party,
similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel sit-
isfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemni-
fying party to such indemnified party of its assumption of the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.
