costs or damages (including, without limitation, the costs of any investigations,

intellectual property rights or confidentiality obligations), then the bidder indemnifies and

holds CCB harmless from any and all such costs which CCB may incur and for any

to cancel a contract with a successful bidder in the event that such a bidder does not

remain tax compliant for the full term of the contract.
