WATSONVILLE v. CORRIGAN,
Where agreements between city and developer required developer to "defend, indemnify and hold City...harmless" from any claims for damage resulting from project and to "defend" city from any lawsuits based on such claims, city was not required to tender its defense of such claims to developer in order to obtain indemnification. Such language was insufficient to contractually modify statutory provision allowing indemnitee to conduct its own defense.
