agencies or subdivisions, as defined in Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, shall indemnify and hold the
Division harmless from any and all claims of any nature and shall investigate all such claims at its own
expense. If the Grantee is governed by Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, it shall only be obligated in
accordance with that Section.

increases the limits of its liability, by entering into this Agreement.
c) The Division shall not be liable for attorney fees, interest, late charges or service fees, or cost of
collection related to this Agreement.

violation. If the violation is not cured within the stated period, the Division will terminate this
Agreement. The notice of violation letter shall be delivered to the Grantee's Contract Manager,

34. Preservation of Remedies. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to either
party upon breach or violation by either party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or
remedy of either party; nor shall such delay or omission be construed as a waiver of any such breach or
