<br />Redwood City Redevelopment Agency <br />DTSC Agreement No. 07- T3454 <br />Exhibit A, Attachment 1 <br />Page 19 of 21 <br /> <br />16. State Government Liabilities. The State of California (State) shall not be liable for any injuries or <br />damages to persons or property resulting from acts or omissions by the Agency or its directors, officers, <br />employees, agents, representatives, successors, assigns, contractors or consultants in carrying out any <br />action or activity pursuant to this Oversight Agreement. Neither OTSC nor the State may be deemed to <br />be a party to any contract entered into by the Agency or its directors, officers, employees, agents, <br />successors, assigns, contractors or consultants in carrying out any action or activity pursuant to this <br />Oversight Agreement. <br /> <br />17. Third Party Actions. In the event that the Agency is a party to any suit or claim for damages or <br />contribution to which OTSC is not a party, relating to a Property or group of Properties subject to this <br />Agreement, the Agency will notify OTSC in writing within ten (10) days after service of the complaint in the <br />third-party action. However, failure to give such notice within 10 days will not be a material breach of this <br />agreement, and this requirement confers no rights on any third parties not party to this Agreement. <br /> <br />18. Reservation of Rights. OTSC and the Agency each reserve the following rights. <br /> <br />a. OTSC reserves its right to pursue cost recovery under the Comprehensive Environmental <br />Response, Compensation, and Liability Acf of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended, California Health and Safety <br />Code sections 25201.9,25343,25360,33459.3, subdivision (m) and any other law. The Agency <br />reserves its rights to pursue cost recovery under the California Health and Safety Code section 33459- <br />33459.8 (Polanco Act) and any other applicable section of the law. <br /> <br />b. Nothing in this Oversight Agreement is intended or shall be construed to limit, preclude or <br />affect the authority of OTSC to pursue any legal, equitable or administrative remedies pursuant to state or <br />federal law or to take any action authorized by law or equity to protect public health and safety or the <br />environment and recovering the costs thereof, including DTSC's authority to take action, or require other <br />persons to take action, under chapter 6.5 or chapter 6.8 of division 20 of the Health and Safety Code or <br />under the Polanco Act and to recover OTSC's costs for those actions. <br /> <br />c. Nothing in this Oversight Agreement shall constitute or be construed as a waiver, <br />defense to, or limitation on of the Agency's rights (including any covenant not to sue or release), with <br />respect to any claim, cause of action, or demand in law or equity that the Agency may have against any <br />person, as defined in section 101 (21) of CERCLA, or Health and Safety Code section 25319, who is not a <br />signatory to this Oversight Agreement. <br /> <br />19. Compliance with Applicable Laws. Nothing in this Oversight Agreement relieves the Agency from <br />complying with all applicable laws and regulations, and the Agency will conform to all actions required by <br />this Oversight Agreement to all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. <br /> <br />20. California Law. This Oversight Agreement shall be governed, performed and interpreted under <br />the laws of the State of California. <br /> <br />21. Parties Bound. This Oversight Agreement applies to and is binding, jointly and severally, upon <br />each signatory and upon any successor agency of either the Agency or the State of California that may <br />have responsibility for and jurisdiction over the subject matter of this Oversight Agreement. No change in <br />the ownership or corporate or business status of a Property or group of Properties or any owner of a <br />Property or group of Properties shall alter any signatory's responsibilities under this Oversight Agreement. <br /> <br />22. Severability. If any portion of this Oversight Agreement is ultimately determined not to be <br />enforceable, that portion will be severed from the Oversight Agreement and the severability shall not <br />affect the enforceability of the remaining terms of the Oversight Agreement. <br />
