b. The Grantee's obligations under the preceding paragraph with respect to any legal action are contingent upon
<br />Department giving Grantee: (I) written notice of any action or threatened action; (2) the opportunity to take over
<br />and settle or defend any such action at Grantee's sole expense; and (3) assistance in defending the action at
<br />Grantee's sole expense. The Grantee shall not be liable for any cost, expense, or compromise incurred or made
<br />by Department in any legal action without Grantee's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
<br />withheld.
<br />c. Notwithstanding sections a. and b. above, the following is the sole indemnification provision that applies to
<br />Grantees that are governmental entities: Each party hereto agrees that it shall be solely responsible for the
<br />negligent or wrongful acts of its employees and agents. However, nothing contained herein shall constitute a
<br />waiver by either party of its sovereign immunity or the provisions of section 768.28, F.S. Further, nothing herein
<br />shall be construed as consent by a state agency or subdivision of the State to be sued by third parties in any matter
<br />arising out of any contract or this Agreement.
<br />d. No provision in this Agreement shall require Department to hold harmless or indemnify Grantee, insure or assume
<br />liability for Grantee's negligence, waive Department's sovereign immunity under the laws of Florida, or
<br />otherwise impose liability on Department for which it would not otherwise be responsible. Any provision,
<br />implication or suggestion to the contrary is null and void.
<br />19. Limitation of Liability.
<br />The Department's liability for any claim arising from this Agreement is limited to compensatory damages in an amount
<br />no greater than the sum of the unpaid balance of compensation due for goods or services rendered pursuant to and in
<br />compliance with the terms of the Agreement. Such liability is further limited to a cap of $100,000.
<br />20. Remedies.
<br />Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make Grantee liable for force majeure events. Nothing in this
<br />Agreement, including financial consequences for nonperformance, shall limit Department's right to pursue its
<br />remedies for other types of damages under the Agreement, at law or in equity. The Department may, in addition to
<br />other remedies available to it, at law or in equity and upon notice to Grantee, retain such monies from amounts due
<br />Grantee as may be necessary to satisfy any claim for damages, penalties, costs and the like asserted by or against it.
<br />21. Waiver.
<br />The delay or failure by Department to exercise or enforce any of its rights under this Agreement shall not constitute
<br />or be deemed a waiver of Department's right thereafter to enforce those rights, nor shall any single or partial exercise
<br />of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
<br />22. Statutory Notices Relating to Unauthorized Employment and Subcontracts.
<br />a. The Department shall consider the employment by any Grantee of unauthorized aliens a violation of Section
<br />274A(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. If Grantee/subcontractor knowingly employs unauthorized
<br />aliens, such violation shall be cause for unilateral cancellation of this Agreement. The Grantee shall be responsible
<br />for including this provision in all subcontracts with private organizations issued as a result of this Agreement.
<br />b. Pursuant to sections 287.133, 287.134, and 287.137 F.S., the following restrictions apply to persons placed on
<br />the convicted vendor list, discriminatory vendor list, or the antitrust violator vendor list:

<br />or perform work as a Grantee, supplier, subcontractor, or consultant under a contract with any public
