In the event of a request for such information, County will make reasonable efforts to provide notice to Contractor prior to such disclosure.

If Contractor fails to obtain such remedy within the time County is required to respond to the CPRA request, County may disclose the requested information.
Contractor further agrees that it shall defend, indemnify and hold County harmless against any claim, action or litigation (including but not limited to all judgments, costs, fees, and attorneys’ fees) that may result from denial by County of a CPRA request for information arising from any representation, or any action (or inaction), by Contractor. d) Section 44 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
