In those instances,the obligation of CONTRACTOR will be for that portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of DISTRICT as determined by written agreement between the parties or the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. The obligations of CONTRACTOR under this or any other provision of this Contract will not be limited by the provisions of any workers'compensation act or similar act.

CONTRACTOR agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth in this section from each and every subcontractor,sub-tier contractor or any other person or entity involved by,for,with,or on behalf of CONTRACTOR in the performance of the subject matter of this Contract. In the event CONTRACTOR fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required here, CONTRACTOR agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section. Failure of DISTRICT to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on DISTRICT and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend DISTRICT as set forth herein is binding on the successors, assigns, or heirs of CONTRACTOR and shall survive the termination of this Contract or this section. 35. Permits. The CONTRACTOR shall obtain from DISTRICT, City, County, State, Federal or other responsible public agencies all licenses and permits, and pay all fees related thereto, necessary to complete the job. 36. Assignment.
