The City agrees that this indemnification will be fully binding on the City, whether it is insured for such claims or not, even if its insurance carrier refuses to be bound by the indemnification or otherwise fails or declines for any reason whatsoever to defend and indemnify the State or Department. The City's duty to defend the State or Department includes payment or reimbursement of all attorney's fees and costs the State or Department incurs, with legal counsel employed or hired by the State to be reimbursed at prevailing hourly market rates. This agreement does not supersede, discharge, or extinguish any prior agreement between the parties, nor will any future agreement between the parties supersede, discharge, or extinguish this agreement, unless by specific reference and in clear terms.
