and to state that such insurance will be deemed "primary" such that any
other insurance that may be carried by CITY will be excess thereto. Such
endorsement must be reflected on ISO Form No. CG 20 10 11 85 or 88, or
equivalent. Such insurance will be on an "occurrence," not a "claims
made," basis and will not be cancelable or subject to reduction except

Agreement expires or is terminated. Such insurance will have the same

arising out of any errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers,
employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.
