“Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liability, costs, or
expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) (hereinafter collectively referred
to as “Claims”) arising out of bodily injury of any person (including death) or
property damage, but only to the extent that such Claims which result in

negligence, misconduct, or other fault of the Indemnitor, its officers, officials,
agents, employees, or volunteers.

The amount and type of insurance coverage requirements set forth herein will in
no way be construed as limiting the scope of the indemnity in this paragraph.
The scope of this indemnification does not extend to the sole negligence of any
Indemnitee.
B. Insurance Requirements. ASU, its officers, agents and employees are covered
against liability, workers’ compensation and property damage through the State
of Arizona, Arizona Department of Administration, Risk Management Section’s
program of self-insurance for acts or omissions while acting in authorized
governmental or proprietary capacities and in the course and scope of
employment or authorization. Such coverage is provided in accordance with
and subject to the provisions of A.R.S. Section 41-621 et seq.
All insurance required herein shall be maintained in full force and effect until all
work or service required to be performed under the terms of the Agreement is
satisfactorily completed and formally accepted. Failure to do so may, at the
sole discretion of MCDPH, constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
The University’s insurance shall be primary insurance as respects MCDPH, and
any insurance or self-insurance maintained by MCDPH shall not contribute to it.
MCDPH reserves the right to request and to receive, within 10 working days,
certified copies of any or all of the herein required insurance policies and/or
endorsements. MCDPH shall not be obligated, however, to review such policies
and/or endorsements or to advise University of any deficiencies in such policies
and endorsements, and such receipt shall not relieve University from, or be
deemed a waiver of MCDPH’S right to insist on strict fulfillment of University’s
obligations under this Agreement.
C. Cancellation and Expiration Notice. Insurance required herein shall not expire,
be canceled, or materially changed without thirty (30) days prior written notice to
MCDPH.
6. Confidentiality. In keeping with all federal and state rules and regulations regarding
patient confidentiality and the confidentiality of communicable disease related
information, the University shall notify the Adjunct Staff Advisors that they are
responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of such information. Adjunct Staff
Advisors shall, further, review and sign the MCDPH Confidentiality Agreement.
Adjunct Staff Advisors shall not have access to, or have the right to review, any
medical record or individually identifiable reportable disease information, except
where necessary in the regular course of the work covered by this Agreement.
7. Non-Discrimination. The University and MCDPH will comply with all applicable state
and federal laws, rules, regulations, and executive orders governing equal employment
opportunity, immigration, and nondiscrimination, including the Americans with
Disabilities Act. If applicable, the parties will abide by the requirements of 41 CFR
§§ 60-1.4(a), 60 300.5(a) and 60 741.5(a). These regulations prohibit
discrimination against qualified individuals based on their status as protected

regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, protected veteran status or
disability.
8. Conflict of Interest. In accordance with Arizona Revised Statutes ("A.R.S.") § 38 511,
either the University or MCDPH may cancel this Agreement within three years after the
execution of this Agreement, without penalty or further obligation, if any person
significantly involved in initiating, negotiating, securing, drafting, or creating this
Agreement on behalf of the University or MCDPH, at any time while this Agreement or
any extension thereof is in effect, is an employee or agent of any other party to this
Agreement in any capacity or a consultant to any other party with respect to the subject
matter of this Agreement.
9. Reimbursement. Neither MCDPH nor University will be required to reimburse the other
Party for any expenses or costs incurred in conjunction with this Agreement, with the

14. Failure of Legislature to Appropriate. In accordance with A.R.S. § 35 154, if
University’s performance under this Agreement depends on the appropriation of
funds by the Arizona Legislature, and if the Legislature fails to appropriate the funds

legislative act and is beyond the control of University.

other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any provision regarding
confidentiality is limited to the extent necessary to comply with the provisions of
Arizona law.
16. Indemnification Limitation. University is a public institution and, as such, any
indemnification, liability limitation, or hold harmless provision will be limited as
required by Arizona law, including without limitation Article 9, Sections 5 and 7 of the
Arizona Constitution and A.R.S. §§ 35 154 and 41 621. Therefore, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, University’s liability under any
claim for indemnification is limited to claims for property damage, personal injury, or
death to the extent caused by acts or omissions of University.
17. ASU and MCDPH/Maricopa County Names and Marks. MCDPH will not use any
names, service marks, trademarks, trade names, logos, or other identifying names,

case, the prior written consent of University. MCDPH’s use of any ASU Marks must
comply with University 's requirements including using the ® indication of a
registered trademark where applicable. University will not use any names, service
marks, trademarks, trade names, logos, or other identifying names, domain names,
or identifying marks of MCDPH or Maricopa County without, in each case, the prior
written consent of MCDPH or Maricopa County.
18. Student Educational Records. Student educational records are protected by the
federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, 20 U.S.C. § 1232g ("FERPA").
MCDPH will comply with FERPA and will not access or make any disclosures of
student educational records to third parties without prior notice to and consent from
University or as otherwise provided by law. If this Agreement contains a scope of
work or any provision that requires or permits MCDPH to access or release any
student records, then, for purposes of this Agreement only, University hereby
designates MCDPH as a “school official” for University under FERPA, as that term is
used in FERPA and its implementing regulations. As such, MCDPH will comply with
FERPA and will not make any disclosures of University students’ educational
records to third parties without prior notice to, and consent from, University or as

otherwise permitted by law. In addition, any access or disclosures of student
educational records made by MCDPH or its employees and agents must comply
