Revised 12/18 <br />6 <br />e. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire and integrated agreement <br />between the County and the Provider and supersedes all prior negotiations, <br />representations or agreements, either written or oral. This Agreement may be amended <br />only by written instrument signed by both parties. Modifications may be evidenced by <br />facsimile signatures. <br /> <br />f. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held as a matter of law to be <br />unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall be valid and binding upon the <br />Parties. <br /> <br />g. Ownership of Work Product. Should Provider’s performance of this Agreement generate <br />documents, items or things that are specific to this Project such documents, items or <br />things shall become the property of the County and may be used on any other project <br />without additional compensation to the Provider. The use of the documents, items or <br />things by the County or by any person or entity for any purpose other than the Project as <br />set forth in this Agreement shall be at the full risk of the County. <br /> <br />h. Non-Appropriation. Provider acknowledges that County is a governmental entity, and <br />the validity of this Agreement is based upon the availability of public funding under the <br />authority of its statutory mandate. <br /> <br />In the event that public funds are unavailable and not appropriated for the performance of <br />County’s obligations under this Agreement, then this Agreement shall automatically <br />expire without penalty to County immediately upon written notice to Provider of the <br />unavailability and non-appropriation of public funds. It is expressly agreed that County <br />shall not activate this non-appropriation provision for its convenience or to circumvent <br />the requirements of this Agreement, but only as an emergency fiscal measure during a <br />substantial fiscal crisis. <br /> <br />In the event of a change in the County’s statutory authority, mandate and/or mandated <br />functions, by state and/or federal legislative or regulatory action, which adversely affects <br />County’s authority to continue its obligations under this Agreement, then this Agreement <br />shall automatically terminate without penalty to County upon written notice to Provider <br />of such limitation or change in County’s legal authority. <br /> <br />i.

Mutual Waiver. In no event shall either party be liable to the other party for any special, <br />indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential loss or damages under this Agreement, <br />and the parties’ direct liability one to the other for all claims, regardless of cause, is <br />limited to its insurance policy coverage and capped at the coverage limits set forth in its <br />certificate of insurance. <br /> <br />k.
