OHA or any other agency or department of the State of Oregon, or both, and Recipient that arises from or relates to this Agreement shall be brought and conducted solely and exclusively within the Circuit Court of Marion County for the State of Oregon; provided, however, if a Claim must be brought in a federal forum, then it shall be brought and conducted solely and exclusively within the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. In no event shall this Section be construed as a waiver by the State of Oregon of the jurisdiction of any court or of any form of defense to or immunity from any Claim, whether sovereign immunity, governmental immunity, immunity based on the eleventh amendment to the Constitution of the United States or otherwise. Each party hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, waives any objection to venue, and waives any claim that such forum is an inconvenient forum. This Section shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.
2. Compliance with Law. Recipient shall comply with all federal, state and local laws, regulations, executive orders and ordinances applicable to the Recipient and this
Agreement. This Section shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.
3. Independent Parties. The parties agree and acknowledge that their relationship is that of independent parties and that Recipient is not an officer, employee, or agent of the State of
Oregon as those terms are used in ORS 30.265 or otherwise.
4. Grant Funds; Disbursements.
a. Recipient is not entitled to compensation under this Agreement by any other agency or department of the State of Oregon. Recipient understands and agrees that OHA’s participation in this Agreement is contingent on OHA receiving appropriations, limitations, allotments or other expenditure authority sufficient to allow OHA, in the exercise of its reasonable administrative discretion, to participate in this Agreement.

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Upon request, Recipient shall provide its taxpayer identification number (TIN) and other necessary banking information to receive EFT disbursement.

Agreement “Misexpended Funds” or that remain unexpended on the earlier of termination or expiration of this Agreement “Unexpended Funds” must be returned to
OHA. Recipient shall return all Misexpended Funds to OHA promptly after OHA’s written demand and no later than 15 days after OHA’s written demand.

Unexpended Funds by withholding from payments due to Recipient such amounts, over such periods of time, as are necessary to recover the amount of the overpayment. Prior to withholding, if Recipient objects to the withholding or the amount proposed to be withheld, Recipient shall notify OHA that it wishes to engage in dispute resolution in accordance with Section 14 of this Exhibit.
6. Ownership of Work Product. Reserved.
7. Contribution.
a. If any third party makes any claim or brings any action, suit or proceeding alleging a tort as now or hereafter defined in ORS 30.260 (“Third Party Claim”) against a party (the “Notified Party”) with respect to which the other party
(“Other Party”) may have liability, the Notified Party must promptly notify the
Other Party in writing of the Third Party Claim and deliver to the Other Party a copy of the claim, process, and all legal pleadings with respect to the Third Party
Claim. Either party is entitled to participate in the defense of a Third Party Claim, and to defend a Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choosing. Receipt by the Other Party of the notice and copies required in this paragraph and meaningful opportunity for the Other Party to participate in the investigation, defense and settlement of the Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choosing are conditions precedent to the Other Party’s liability with respect to the Third Party
Claim.

Recipient (or would be if joined in the Third Party Claim), the State shall contribute to the amount of expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by the Recipient in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the State on the one hand and of the Recipient on the other hand in connection with the events which resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the State on the one hand and of the Recipient on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts.
The State’s contribution amount in any instance is capped to the same extent it would have been capped under Oregon law if the State had sole liability in the proceeding.
