be in addition to any other amounts due to the COUNTY under this Agreement. Interest charges
shall be calculated using the daily unpaid balance method and accumulate until all outstanding
amounts and accumulated interest are fully paid. Nothing in this paragraph shall operate to limit the
COUNTY'S right to pursue or exercise any other legal rights or remedies under this Agreement
against the MUNICIPALITY to secure reimbursement of amounts due the COUNTY under this
Agreement. The remedies in this paragraph shall be available to the COUNTY on an ongoing and

and/or any other related obligations provided for in this Agreement with regard to any acts,

cancellation or expiration of this Agreement. The parties agree that the expiration, cancellation, or
termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any rights or claims of either party against
the other and shall not relieve either party of any obligations which, by their nature, survive expiration
or termination of this Agreement.
