EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITY
The RESPONDENT and the EAST BRUNSWICK REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (herein referred to as
the AGENCY) do hereby agree that the provisions of Title 11 of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (the
“Act”) (42 U.S.C. S.12101 et seq.), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by public entities in all
services, programs and activities provided or made available by public entities, and the rules and regulation
promulgated pursuant thereunto, are made a part of this contract. In providing any aid, benefit, or service on behalf
of the AGENCY pursuant to this contract, the RESPONDENT agrees that the performance shall be in strict
compliance with the Act. In the event the RESPONDENT, its agents, servants, employees, or subcontractors violate
or are alleged to have violated the Act during the performance of this contract, the RESPONDENT shall defend the
AGENCY in any action or administrative proceeding commenced pursuant to this Act. The RESPONDENT shall
indemnify, protect, and save harmless the AGENCY, its agents, servants, and employees from and against any and
all suits, claims, losses, demands, or damages of whatever kind or nature arising out of the alleged violation. The
RESPONDENT 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 AGENCY’S grievance procedure, the RESPONDENT
agrees to abide by any decision of the AGENCY, which is rendered pursuant to, said grievance procedure. If any
action or administrative proceeding result in an award of damages against the AGENCY or if the AGENCY incurs
any expense to cure a violation of the ADA which has been brought pursuant to its grievance procedure the
RESPONDENT shall satisfy and discharge the same at its own expense.
The AGENCY shall, as soon as practicable after a claim has been made against it, give written notice
thereof to the RESPONDENT along with full and complete particulars of the claim. If any action or administrative
proceeding is brought against the AGENCY or any of its agents, servants, and employees, the AGENCY shall
expeditiously forward or have forwarded to the RESPONDENT every demand, complaint, notice, summons,
pleading, or other process received by the AGENCY or its representatives.
It is expressly agreed and understood that any approval by the AGENCY of the services provided by the

Act and to defend, indemnify, protect, and save harmless the AGENCY pursuant to this paragraph.
It is further agreed and understood that the AGENCY assumes no obligation to indemnify or save harmless
the RESPONDENT, its agents, servants, employees and subcontractors for any claim which may arise out of their
performance of this Agreement. Furthermore, the RESPONDENT expressly understands and agrees that the
provisions of this indemnification clause shall in no way limit the RESPONDENT’S obligations assumed in this

from taking any other actions available to it under any other provisions of this Agreement or otherwise at law.
