The cost for defense shall apply whether or not Subrecipient is a party to the lawsuit and shall apply whether or not Subrecipient is directly liable to the plaintiffs in the lawsuit. The duty to defend applies even if Indemnitees are alleged or found to be actively negligent, but only in proportion to the percentage of fault or negligence of Subrecipient. 2. Without affecting the rights of County under any other provision of this Agreement, Subrecipient shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless or provide defense or defense costs to an Indemnitee for a loss due to that Indemnitee's negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct; provided, however, that such negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct has been determined by agreement of Subrecipient and Indemnitee or has been adjudged by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction.
