granted by this Franchise which are made against the City, in whole or in
part, due to the City's ownership or control of the public ways or other City

inspection of work performed by Franchisee, its officers, employees,
servants, agents or representatives.

against the City arising as a result of the acts or omissions of Franchisee,

claim, said tender having been made pursuant to the hold harmless
covenants contained herein, and said refusal is subsequently determined by
a court having jurisdiction (or such other tribunal that the parties shall
agree to decide the matter), to have been a wrongful refusal on the part of

witness fees and reasonable attorneys' fees and the reasonable costs of the
City, including reasonable attorneys' fees of recovering under this hold
