location which complies with City regulations on Outdoor Advertising Signs in effect at
the time the Existing Billboard was originally permitted and constructed as to zoning and

further conditioned, and shall not require an amendment to this Agreement.
5. Indemnity. View Zone agrees to indemnify the City from any lawsuit, and shall
defend with counsel selected by View Zone and approved by the City (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld), and hold the City, its officers and employees
harmless against any claim asserted by an affected property owner arising from the

Agreement. Additionally, in the event of litigation or an administrative proceeding
concerning the validity or enforceability of this Agreement brought by any third party,
View Zone shall indemnify and hold the City, its officers and employees harmless from
any such litigation or administrative proceeding and shall defend with counsel selected by
