No delay or failure by either Party to exercise any right, remedy or power herein shall impair such
Party's right to exercise such right, remedy or power or be construed to be a waiver of any default or an
acquiescence therein; and any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy or power shall not preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy or power. No waiver hereunder
shall be valid unless set forth in writing executed by the waiving Party and then only to the extent expressly
set forth in such writing.
ARTICLE 18 - PARTIES BOUND; ASSIGNMENT
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the respective successors and
assigns of the Parties hereto, but it may not be assigned in whole or in part by Vendor without prior written
notice to Purchaser which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
ARTICLE 19 -SURVIVABILITY/PARTICIPATING AGENCY DISCRETIONARY EXTENSION
Provided the laws of the jurisdiction of the Participating Agency permit survivability of the contract term
through a mutually agreed upon extension of the agreement between the Participating Agency and the Vendor
beyond the term of the publicly awarded Agreement, to be determined and confirmed by the Participating
Agency at its sole discretion, all applicable agreements and warranties that were entered into between Vendor
and the Participating Agency under the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall survive the expiration or
termination of the Agreement if mutually agreed upon between the Vendor and the Participating Agency. All
purchase orders issued and accepted by Vendor shall survive expiration or termination of the Agreement for
the term of the purchase order or subscription, unless the Participating Agency terminates the purchase order
sooner. However, regardless of the term of the purchase order or subscription, no purchase order shall
survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement unless the Participating Agency makes an express
finding and justification for the longer term as mutually agreed upon by the Participating Agency and Vendor.
The finding and justification must either be included in the purchase order or referenced in the purchase order
and maintained in the Participating Agency's procurement record. Contract maintenance and adjustments
contemplated after the maturity date of the Lead Public Agency cooperative procurement contract, and prior to
the expiration date of the Purchase Order or subscription, shall be individually negotiated directly between the
awarded Vendor and the Participating Agency identified in that Purchase Order or subscription. Rights and
obligations under this Agreement which by their nature should survive, including, but not limited to, the
administrative fee provided in the Vendor Administrative Agreement and any and all payment obligations
invoiced prior to the termination or expiration hereof, obligations of confidentiality, and indemnification will
remain in effect after termination or expiration hereof.
ARTICLE 20 - SEVERABILITY
To the extent possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to
be effective and valid under Applicable Law. If any provision of this Agreement is declared invalid or
unenforceable, by judicial determination or otherwise, such provision shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable the entire Agreement, but rather the entire Agreement shall be construed as if not containing
the particular invalid or unenforceable provision or provisions and the rights and obligations of the Parties
shall be construed and enforced accordingly.
