Required ATI Terms.
b. ATI's duty to defend shall arise upon tender of a Claim by an Indemnified Party
and shall not be excused, reduced, or delayed based upon allegations that an
B-3
Indemnified Party was negligent, at fault, or otherwise contributed to the Claim,
unless and only to the extent it is established by a final, non-appealable judgment
or order of a court of competent jurisdiction that the negligence,willful and wanton
misconduct, intentional misconduct, breach of this Agreement, or violation of law
by that Indemnified Party was a proximate cause of the Claim.Notwithstanding the
foregoing, ATI shall not be required to indemnify an Indemnified Party for that
portion of a Claim, if any, finally determined by a final, non-appealable judgment
or order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been proximately caused by

intentional misconduct, breach of this Agreement, or violation of law. Nothing in
this Section shall be construed to require indemnification prohibited by applicable
law.

reimbursement,or adjustment only to the extent required by a final,non-appealable
judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction or by written agreement of
ATI and the affected Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party may participate in

ATI's failure to provide an adequate defense, a conflict of interest,or another basis
recognized by law.

obligations shall not be limited by insurance coverage, deductibles, self-insured
retentions, policy exclusions, available limits, workers' compensation laws,
disability benefit laws,or other employee-benefit laws. ATI expressly waives,and
shall require each subcontractor performing any portion of the District Work to
waive, any limitation on contribution or indemnity liability arising under Kotecki
v. Cyclops Welding Corp., 146 Ill. 2d 155 (1991),or any similar or successor law,
rule, doctrine, or defense. ATI agrees that its obligations under this Section shall
not be limited to the amount of workers' compensation benefits paid or payable to
or on behalf of any employee of ATI, any subcontractor, or anyone directly or
indirectly employed by them. ATI's obligations under this Section shall not be
limited by, and shall be excluded from, any limitation of liability, limitation of
