<br /> and conditions shall be made part of the contract of assistance between the federal
<br /> government and the applicant for federal funds and between the applicant and any recipient of
<br /> federal funds; provided, however, that this arrangement shall not merge into the contract of
<br /> assistance, but shall be independently binding and enforceable by and upon the parties thereto,
<br /> and by any covered employee or his/her representative, in accordance with its terms, nor shall
<br /> any other employee protective agreement merge into this arrangement, but each shall be
<br /> independently binding and enforceable by and upon the parties thereto, in accordance with its
<br /> terms.
<br /> (21) This arrangement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties hereto,
<br /> and no provisions, terms, or obligations herein contained shall be affected, modified, altered,

<br /> undertake the management, provision and/or operation of the Project services or the
<br /> Recipient's transit system, or any part or portion thereof, under contractual arrangements of
<br /> any form with the Recipient, its successors or assigns, shall agree to be bound by the terms of
<br /> this arrangement and accept the responsibility with the Recipient for full performance of these

<br /> collective bargaining agreements.
<br /> (23) The employees covered by this arrangement shall continue to receive any applicable
<br /> coverage under Social Security, Railroad Retirement, Workmen's Compensation,
<br /> unemployment compensation, and the like. In no event shall these benefits be worsened as a
<br /> result of the Project.
<br /> (24) In the event any provision of this arrangement is held to be invalid, or otherwise
<br /> unenforceable under the federal, state, or local law, in the context of a particular Project, the
<br /> remaining provisions of this arrangement shall not be affected and the invalid or
<br /> unenforceable provision shall be renegotiated by the Recipient and the interested Union
