<br />information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such
<br />expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts. MLE's contribution amount in any
<br />instance is capped to the same extent it would have been capped under Washington law
<br />if the State had sole liability in the proceeding.
<br />15.3 With respect to a Third Party Claim for which Subrecipient is jointly liable with MLE (or
<br />would be if joined in the Third Party Claim), Subrecipient shall contribute to the amount of
<br />expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
<br />actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by MLE in such proportion as is
<br />appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Subrecipient on the one hand and of MLE on the
<br />other hand in connection with the events that resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines
<br />or settlement amounts, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
<br />fault of Subrecipient on the one hand and of MLE on the other hand shall be determined
<br />by reference to, among other things, the Parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
<br />information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such
<br />expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts. Subrecipient's contribution amount in
<br />any instance is capped to the same extent it would have been capped under Washington
<br />law if it had sole liability in the proceeding.
