resulting from that Indemnitee's sole negligence, that lndemnitee's active
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its agents, servants or
independent contractors who are directly responsible to such lndemnitee, where

directly responsible to such Indemnitee accounts for only a percentage of the
Loss involved, the obligation of Contractor will be for that portion of the Loss
not due to the active negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its
agents, servants or independent contractors who are directly responsible to such
Indemnitee. The waiver of Consequential Damages provisions of Section 21, above,

indirectly employed by them or anyone for whose acts they may be liable, by a
limitation on amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or
for Contractor or Subcontractor or Subconsultant under any workers compensation
act, disability benefit act or other employee benefit program.

 
C.
Subcontractors, Subconsultants. Contractor agrees to include provisions

such defense and indemnification on the Subcontractor's or Subconsultant's

D.
Other Rights. Notwithstanding anything stated in this Section 30 or elsewhere in

implying that the obligation of Contractor to defend an Indemnitee against an
alleged Loss that is within the scope of the Contractor's indemnification
obligation under this Section 30 or under any other provision of the Contract
Documents is to any extent released, excused, limited or relieved by a finding,
determination, award or judgment by a court or arbitrator that the alleged Loss
was due to circumstances not within the scope of such indemnification
obligation, provided that, in the event that such findings, determination, award
or judgment states that such loss was due to the sole negligence, active
negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall
reimburse Contractor for all the above-stated reimbursable costs and expenses
paid by Contractor for the defense of the Indemnitee.
