reasonable attorney's fees) (hereinafter collectively referred to as "claims") arising out of the

make any subcontractor an agent or employee of either party.

Each party shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, Executive Orders, rules, regulations, 
standards, and codes of the Federal, State, and local governments whether or not specifically 
reference herein. The Parties agree that there will be no discrimination as to race, color, creed,

and available for the continuance of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated by either 
party at the end of the period for which funds are available.  No liability shall accrue to either party

future payments or for any damages as a result of termination under this paragraph. 
 
 
No Waiver; No Accord or Satisfaction 
Waiver of any breach of any term, conditions or covenant herein contained shall not be deemed 
to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of any term, covenant or condition herein.
