Failure of the City to give notice of any such claim to the Developer within ninety (90) days after the City first receives a notice of such claim under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act for the same, shall cause this indemnity and hold harmless agreement by the Developer to not apply to such claim and such failure shall constitute a release of this indemnity and hold harmless agreement as to such claim.
