of the Town are expressly dependent and conditioned upon the continuing availability of funds beyond the
term of the Town's current fiscal period ending upon the next succeeding December 31. Financial
obligations of the Town payable after the current fiscal year are contingent upon funds for that purpose
being appropriated, budgeted, and otherwise made available in accordance with the rules, regulations, and

consent.

completion of the Services and the satisfaction, expiration, or termination of this Agreement.

invalid or unenforceable, such holding shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of
this Agreement.

Contractor, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recovery of all actual costs in connection therewith,
including but not limited to recovery of all actual costs in connection therewith, including but not limited to
attorneys'fees and expert witness fees. All rights concerning remedies and/or attorneys'fees shall survive
any termination of this Agreement.
