IX. LIABILITY
<br />A. Generallv
<br />Each party to this AGREEMENT acknowledges that it will be liable for its own negligent acts or
<br />negligent omissions by or through itself, its employees, agents, and subcontractors. Each party
<br />further agrees to defend itself and themselves, and to pay any judgments and costs arising out of
<br />such negligent acts or omissions, and nothing in this AGREEMENT shall impute or transfer any
<br />such liability from one to the other. In other words, the SUBRECIPIENT agrees to be fully
<br />responsible for its negligent acts or omissions, or any intentional tortuous acts which result in
<br />claims or suits against the CITY, and agrees to be liable for any damages proximately caused by
<br />said acts or omissions. Nothing herein shall be construed as consent by a State or CITY agency or
<br />subdivision to be sued by third parties in any matter arising out of any contract, and nothing
<br />herein is intended to serve as a waiver of sovereign immunity where sovereign immunity applies.
<br />B. CITY not Liable for Funds
<br />The SUBRECIPIENT further acknowledges that the source of the ESG-CV Funds is a federal
<br />pass -through grant to the SUBRECIPIENT. The CITY shall have no obligation to advance or pay
<br />the SUBRECIPIENT with any funds other than the ESG-CV Funds the CITY receives from
<br />HUD.
<br />C. Hold Harmless
<br />The SUBRECIPIENT shall defend, indemnify and save harmless the CITY, its officers, agents,
<br />employees, representatives, volunteers, and student externs from and against any and all damages
<br />to property or injuries to or death of any person or persons, including property and employees or
<br />agents of the CITY, and shall defend, indemnify and save harmless the CITY, its officers, agents,
<br />employees, representatives, volunteers, and student externs from and against any and all claims,
<br />demands, suits, actions or proceedings of any kind or nature, including, but not by way of
<br />limitation, workers compensation claims and attorney fees/expenses for litigation or settlement,
<br />resulting from or arising out of the negligent or wrongful acts, errors or omissions of the
<br />SUBRECIPIENT, its officers, directors, employees, agents, subcontractors, and suppliers arising
<br />out of the SUBRECIPIENT's performance of this AGREEMENT.
<br />X. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
<br />A. Generallv
<br />ESG-CV activities are subject to environmental review by FIUD under the environmental
<br />regulations in 24 CFR 50. The SUBRECIPIENT, or any contractor of the SUBRECIPIENT, may
<br />not acquire, rehabilitate, convert, lease, repair, dispose of, demolish, or construct property for a
<br />project under this part, or commit or expend HUD or local funds for eligible activities under this
<br />part, until HUD has performed an environmental review under 24 CFR part 50 and the recipient
<br />has received HUD approval of the property.
