AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990 Equal Opportunity for Individuals with Disability The contractor and the Township of West Orange, (hereafter "TOWNSHIP") do hereby agree that the provisions of Title 11 of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "Act") (42 U.S.C. S121 01 et seq.), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by public entities in all services, programs, activities provided or made available by public entities, and the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant there unto, are made a part of this contract. In providing any aid, benefit, or service on behalf of the TOWNSHIP pursuant to this contract, the contractor agrees that the performance shall be in strict compliance with the Act. In the event that the contractor, its agents, servants, employees, or subcontractors violate or are alleged to have violated the Act during the performance of this contract, the contractor shall defend the TOWNSHIP in any action or administrative proceeding commenced pursuant to this Act. The contractor shall indemnify, protect, and save harmless the TOWNSHIP, its agents, servants, and employees from and against any and all suits, claims, losses, demands, or damages, of whatever kind of nature arising out of or claimed to arise out of the alleged violation. The contractor shall, at its own expense, appear, defend, and pay any and all charges for legal services and any and all costs and other expenses arising from such action or administrative proceeding or incurred in connection therewith. In any and all complaints brought pursuant to the TOWNSHIP's grievance procedure, the contractor agrees to abide by any decision of the TOWNSHIP which is rendered pursuant to said grievance procedure. If any action or administrative proceeding results in an award of damages against the TOWNSHIP, or if the TOWNSHIP incurs any expense to cure a violation of the ADA which has been brought pursuant to its grievance procedure, the contractor shall satisfy and discharge the same at its own expense. The TOWNSHIP shall, as soon as practicable after a claim has been made against it, give written notice thereof to the contractor along with full and complete particulars of the claim, if any action or administrative proceeding is brought against the TOWNSHIP or any of its agents, servants, and employees, the TOWNSHIP shall

ctor along with full and complete particulars of the claim, if any action or administrative proceeding is brought against the TOWNSHIP or any of its agents, servants, and employees, the TOWNSHIP shall expeditiously forward or have forwarded to the contractor every demand, complaint, notice, summons, pleading, or other process received by the TOWNSHIP or its representatives. It is expressly agreed and understood that any approval by the TOWNSHIP of the services provided by the contractor pursuant to this contract will not relieve the contractor of the obligation to comply with the Act and to defend, indemnify, protect, and save harmless the TOWNSHIP pursuant to this paragraph. It is further agreed and understood that the TOWNSHIP assumes no obligation to indemnify or save harmless the contractor, its agents, servants, employees and subcontractors for any claim which may arise out of their performance of this Agreement. Furthermore, the contractor expressly understands and agrees that the provisions of this indemnification clause shall in no way limit the contractor's obligations assumed in this Agreement, nor shall they be construed to relieve the contractor from any liability, nor preclude the TOWNSHIP from taking any other actions available to it under any other provisions of the Agreement or otherwise at law.
