Program Funds as a Direct Recipient. If the FTA reduces the amount of Section 5307
Program Funds available to CapMetro as the Designated Recipient, City's share of
funding will be based upon the reduced amount.CapMetro will not be liable to City for
any damages, which are caused or associated with any FTA changes to the amounts
