9.12 Validity. If, for any reason any section, paragraph, subdivision, clause, phrase,
word, or provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unconstitutional by final judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall not affect any other section, paragraph, sub-
division, clause, phrase, word, or provision of this Agreement, for it is the definite intent
of the parties to this Agreement that every section, paragraph, subdivision, clause,
phrase, word, and provision of this Agreement be given full force and effect for its pur-

Architect/Engineer's certificate of substantial completion, the Subrecipient shall only
look to the architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, manufacturers, and their
respective warranties to remedy any defects in design, workmanship, or materials, and
the Subrecipient covenants and agrees that the City has no responsibility for any de-
fects of any kind or nature whatsoever, even if it is alleged such defect is due to the

contracts effecting the Improvements, and all warranties and duties under such con-

Facility, the Improvements, CDBG funding, or to recipients of Federal funds does not
waive the Subrecipient's required compliance in accordance with Federal law.
