actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or
damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent
caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Consultant or its
employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality

violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Consultant to indemnify and hold harmless includes the

determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Consultant acknowledges and agrees to the
provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.
