<br />applicable Federal, State, and local permits and clearances are obtained, including but
<br />not limited to FEMA compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act, the National
<br />Historic Preservation Act, the Endangered Species Act, and all other environmental laws
<br />and executive orders.
<br />The Subgrantee shall defend, at its own cost, any and all claims or suits at law or in
<br />equity, which may be brought against the Subgrantee in connection with the project.
<br />The Subgrantee shall not look to the County, the Department, or to any state or federal
<br />agency, or to any of their employees or agents, for any performance, assistance, or any
<br />payment or indemnity, including but not limited to cost of defense and/or attorneys' fees,
<br />in connection with any claim or lawsuit brought by any third party related to any design,
<br />development, construction, implementation, operation and/or maintenance of a project.
