Governing Law and Interpretation of This Agreement This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. This Agreement is the parties’ complete agreement and replaces the parties’ prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, and understandings pertaining to its subject matter, whether oral or written. No course of dealings or usage of the trade supplements or explains any terms. A party’s failure to insist on strict performance of any term is not a waiver of that term, even if the party accepting or acquiescing in the nonconforming performance knows the nature of the performance and fails to object. If any new legislation, laws, ordinances, or rules affect this Agreement, this Agreement automatically incorporates the terms of such legislation, laws, ordinances, or rules. Any term of this Agreement that is declared contrary to any current or future law, order, regulation, or rule, or that is otherwise invalid, shall be deemed stricken without impairing the validity of the remainder of this Agreement. In the event FEMA determines that changes are necessary to this Agreement after it has been entered into, including changes to Period of Performance or other terms, Subrecipient will be notified of the changes in writing; once notification is made, any subsequent request for funds by Subrecipient will constitute Subrecipient’s acceptance of the changes and will incorporate the changes into this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Paragraph, any amendment to or extension of this Agreement may be made only in a writing signed by authorized representatives of both parties. Any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply in interpreting this Agreement. 39. Licensing Unless otherwise exempted by law, Subrecipient must obtain and maintain all licenses, permits, and authority necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 40. Sectarian Requests Funds disbursed under this Agreement may not be used for any sectarian purpose or activity, including worship or instruction in violation of the US or Arizona Constitutions. 41.

This indemnity includes any claim or amount arising out of or recovered under the Workers’ Compensation Law or arising out of the failure of such contractor to conform to any Federal, State or Local law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or court decree. It is the specific intention of the parties that the Indemnitee shall, in all instances, except for Claims arising solely from the negligent or willful acts or omissions of the Indemnitee, be indemnified by such contractor from and against any and all claims. It is agreed that such contractor will be responsible for primary loss investigation, defense and judgment costs where this indemnification is applicable.
