Any changes in the purposes for which grant funds are spent must be approved in writing by Grantor before implementation. Grantor retains the right, if Grantee breaches this Agreement, or if Grantee’s conduct of the project jeopardizes Grantor’s legal or tax status, to withhold, withdraw, or demand immediate return of grant funds, and to spend such funds so as to accomplish the purposes of the project as nearly as possible within Grantor’s sole judgment.
2. B. Grantee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Grantor from any and all legal and financial
