10. Relationship of Contracting Parties and Indemnification: GRANTEE specifically recognizes
and acknowledges that nothing contained in this Agreement shall create, or be deemed to create

employer-employee relationship. GRANTEE is solely responsible for the completion of the project,
and agrees to complete the project in accordance with the terms of this Contract.
GRANTEE shall defend, protect, and hold harmless the DEPARTMENT and the State of Idaho, and
all officers, employees, and agents thereof, against all claims, suits or actions arising from any act of
