<br /> subaward—Funds allocated to the RCO from another organization, for which RCO makes available to or assigns to
<br /> another organization via this Agreement.Also, a subaward may be an award provided by a pass-through entity to a
<br /> subrecipient for the subrecipient to carry out part of any award received by the pass-through entity. It does not include
<br /> payments to a contractor or payments to an individual that is a beneficiary of a federal or other program. A subaward
<br /> may be provided through any form of legal agreement, including an agreement that the pass-through entity considers
<br /> a contract.Also see 2 C.F.R. §200.92(2013). For federal subawards, a subaward is for the purpose of carrying out a
<br /> portion of a Federal award and creates a federal assistance relationship with the subrecipient(2 C.F.R. §200.330
<br /> (2013)). If this Agreement is a federal subaward,the subaward amount is the grant program amount in the Project
<br /> Funding Section.

<br /> program; but does not include an individual that is a beneficiary of such program. A subrecipient may also be a
<br /> recipient of other federal awards directly from a federal awarding agency(2 C.F.R. §200.93(2013)). If this
<br /> Agreement is a federal subaward, the Sponsor is the subrecipient.

<br /> Agreement by the Sponsor or the Sponsor's agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors, or vendors, of any tier, or any
<br /> other persons for whom the Sponsor may be legally liable.
<br /> Provided that nothing herein shall require a Sponsor to defend or indemnify the State against and hold harmless the State
<br /> from claims, demands or suits based solely upon the negligence of the State, its employees and/or agents for whom the State
<br /> is vicariously liable.
<br /> Provided further that if the claims or suits are caused by or result from the concurrent negligence of(a)the Sponsor or the
<br /> Sponsor's agents,employees, contractors, subcontractors or vendors, of any tier, or any other persons for whom the Sponsor
<br /> is legally liable, and(b)the State its employees and agents for whom it is vicariously liable,the indemnity obligation shall be
<br /> valid and enforceable only to the extent of the Sponsor's negligence or the negligence of the Sponsor's agents,employees,
