bearing interest for the City from which Sheriff will be entitled to withdraw funds '

this agreement, Sheriff determines that expenditures and costs as reported pursuant
to paragraph "15" of this agreement have exceeded the ,amount payable for such month
by City to Sheriff under that paragraph, Sheriff is hereby authorized to draw directly
from the contingency account an amount of money equal to such excess. It is the
intention of the parties that Sheriff will perform the services called for by this
agreement without risk of loss up to the amount of the periodic payments described in
paragraph 15, plus the amounts of the contingency funds described in this paragraph.
It is further agreed that an additional contingency of $7,460.00 shall ..
be maintained by the City, and sums will be paid from this fund to the Sheriff when
needed by the Sheriff for the actual direct and indirect costs of unemployment com-
pensation and legal fees and costs necessarily and reasonably incurred by Sheriff in the
ordinary performance of this agreement, but not for any such fees as cost incurred in

claims covered by special continguency funds can be made against Sheriff, and City's
liability for such funds is intended to survive any termination of this agreement.

the total obligation of this contract, such obligation is hereby severed, but the
balance of the lawful portions hereof will continue to be performed. .y
If because of such judicial decision continued performance of the balance of
the obligation of this agreement would cause Sheriff' s expense and cost, direct and
indirect, to exceed receipts from City, Sheriff may terminate further performance of
this agreement on thirty days written notice to City, given within 30 days of the
trial court's written decision. If because of such judicial decision the cost to the
city under this agreement will exceed the amount of periodic payments plus the sum of
the contingency funds because of such a judicial decision, then City may terminate
7
i
further performance under the agreement on 30 days written notice to Sheriff, given C7
73
within 30 days of the trial court's written decision. Such termination by Sheriff or O
-n
City will not remove any liability of either to the other incurred before such termination. r-
26. There are no other agreements, written or oral , between the parties, and
there are no conditions precedent to performance, oral or written, agreed to by the
parties. Co
