Said Declaration shall be provided to CONTRACTOR by CDC. E. The aforesaid policies shall constitute primary insurance as to the CDC, its officers, employees, and volunteers, so that any other policies held by the CDC shall not contribute to any loss under said insurance. Said policies shall provide for thirty (30) days prior written notice to the CDC of cancellation or material change. F. Said policies, except for the professional liability and workers' compensation policies, shall name the CDC and its officers, agents and employees as additional insureds, and separate additional insured endorsements shall be provided.

If the CONTRACTOR does not keep all of such insurance policies in full force and effect at all times during the terms of this Agreement, the CDC may 6 City's Standard Agreement — June 2008 revision elect to treat the failure to maintain the requisite insurance as a breach of this Agreement and terminate the Agreement as provided herein. K. All deductibles and self -insured retentions in excess of $10,000 must be disclosed to and approved by the CDC. 18. LEGAL FEES. If any party brings a suit or action against the other party arising from any breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any inaccuracies in any of the representations and warranties on the part of the other party arising out of this Agreement, then in that event, the prevailing party in such action or dispute, whether by final judgment or out -of - court settlement, shall be entitled to have and recover of and from the other party all costs and expenses of suit, including attorneys' fees. For purposes of determining who is to be considered the prevailing party, it is stipulated that attorney's fees incurred in the prosecution or defense of the action or suit shall not be considered in determining the amount of the judgment or award. Attorney's fees to the prevailing party if other than the CDC shall, in addition, be limited to the amount of attorney's fees incurred by the CDC in its prosecution or defense of the action, irrespective of the actual amount of attorney's fees incurred by the prevailing party. 19.
