such employees, participants, or agents as self -certification of automobile insurance coverage.
Governmental entities may provide proof of self-insurance.

personal service of such notice, unless such default is cured before the effective date of termination
stated in such notice. If terminated for cause, CITY shall be relieved of further liability or
responsibility under this Agreement, or as a result of the termination thereof, including the payment

the award will not accomplish the purpose for which the award was made, the CITY may terminate

of actions affecting ERAP funding. In the event of funding reduction, CITY may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, reduce the budget of this Agreement, may limit the rate of SUBRECIPIENT's
authority to disburse funds, or may restrict SUBRECIPIENT's use of uncommitted funds. Where
CITY has been directed to implement a reduction in funding, with respect to funding for this
Agreement, CITY's City Manager or delegate is authorized to act for CITY in implementing and
effecting such a reduction and in revising, modifying, or amending the Agreement for such purposes.

compliance with this Agreement, CITY may suspend the operation of this Agreement for up to sixty
(60) days upon five (5) days written notice to SUBRECIPIENT of its intention to so act, pending an
audit or other resolution of such questions. In no event, however, shall any revisions made by CITY
affect expenditures and legally binding commitments made by SUBRECIPIENT before it received
notice of such revision, provided that such amounts have been committed in good faith and are
otherwise allowable and that such commitments are consistent with ERAP Funds withdrawal
guidelines.

other agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties hereto with respect to the use of CITY's
ERAP funds by SUBRECIPIENT and contains all the covenants and agreements between the parties
with respect to SUBRECIPIIENT's administration of said program. Each party to this Agreement
acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, orally or otherwise,
have been made by any party, or anyone acting on behalf of any party, which are not embodied herein,

signed by both CITY and SUBRECIPIENT.
L. Laws Governing this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of California, and all applicable federal laws and regulations.
M. Validity and Severability. The invalidity in whole or in part of any provision of this
Agreement shall not void or affect the validity of any other provision of this Agreement. Whenever
possible, each provision of this AGREEMENT shall be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this AGREEMENT is held to be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent
16
of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions of this
AGREEMENT.
N. Waiver. No delay or omission by either party hereto to exercise any right or power
accruing upon any noncompliance or default by the other party with respect to any of the terms of
this Agreement shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof. A
waiver by either of the parties hereto of any of the covenants, conditions, or agreements to be
performed by the other shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or
of any other covenant, condition or agreement herein contained.
O. Federal Award Identification Information. SUBRECIPIENT's pertinent Federal
Award Identification Information, including DUNS Number and Federal Award Identification
