It is expressly agreed that Owner shall not activate this non- <br /> appropriation provision for its convenience or to circumvent the requirements of this Agreement, <br /> but only as an emergency fiscal measure during a substantial fiscal crisis. <br /> In the event of a change in the Owner's statutory authority, mandate and/or mandated <br /> functions, by state and/or federal legislative or regulatory action, which adversely affects <br /> Owner's authority to continue its obligations under this Agreement, then this Agreement shall <br /> automatically terminate without penalty to Owner upon written notice to Contractor of such <br /> limitation or change in Owner's legal authority. <br /> 11.
