by City that the required insurance has been restored to full force and effect and that the
premiums therefore have been paid for a period satisfactory to City. Any failure to
maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient cause for City to terminate this
Agreement. No action taken by City hereunder shall in any way relieve Permittee of its

liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do
not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Permittee.
