COUNTY SHERIFF, in their official capacity as a Michigan Constitutional Officer, whose address is
1200 North Telegraph Road, Bldg. 38 E., Pontiac, Michigan 48341 (SHERIFF). In this Agreement,
whenever the COUNTY and the SHERIFF are intended to be referred to jointly, they shall be referred

WHEREAS, the COUNTY and the PUBLIC BODY may enter into a contract by which the O.C.S.O.
would provide POLICE DISPATCH SERVICE for the PUBLIC BODY; and
WHEREAS, the PUBLIC BODY has concluded that it is more cost effective for the PUBLIC BODY

13. If the PUBLIC BODY fails, for any reason, to pay the COUNTY any moneys due when and as

retaining such amounts. This paragraph shall not limit the PUBLIC BODY’s legal right to
dispute whether the underlying amount retained by the COUNTY was actually due and owing
under this Agreement. If the COUNTY chooses not to exercise its right to setoff or if any setoff

Agreement, the COUNTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHARGE UP TO THE THEN-
MAXIMUM LEGAL INTEREST ON ANY UNPAID AMOUNT. Interest charges shall 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

limit the COUNTY’S right to pursue or exercise any other legal rights or remedies under this
Agreement against the PUBLIC BODY to secure reimbursement of amounts due to the
COUNTY under this Agreement. The remedies in this paragraph shall be available to the
COUNTY on an ongoing and successive basis if the PUBLIC BODY at any time becomes
delinquent in its payment. Notwithstanding any other term and condition in this Agreement, if

the PUBLIC BODY agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and court
costs, incurred by the COUNTY in the collection of any amount owed by the PUBLIC BODY.
14. The PUBLIC BODY agrees that all PUBLIC BODY representations, liabilities, payment
obligations, and/or any other related obligations provided for in this Agreement with regard to
any acts, occurrences, events, transactions, or CLAIM(S), either occurring or having their basis
in any events or transactions that occurred before the cancellation or expiration of this
Agreement, shall survive the 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.
15. Each Party shall be responsible for any CLAIM made against that Party and for the acts of its
employees or agents.
16. In any CLAIM that may arise from the performance of this Agreement, each Party shall seek its
own legal representation and bear the costs associated with such representation, including any
attorney fees.
17. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither Party shall have any right under any
legal principle to be indemnified by the other Party or any of its agents or employees in
connection with any CLAIM.
18. This Agreement does not, and is not intended to, impair, divest, delegate or contravene any
constitutional, statutory, and/or other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, or immunity
of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of governmental
immunity for either Party.

Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of that right regarding any existing or subsequent
breach or default under this Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of any party in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a
single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise
of any other right, power or privilege.
27. The COUNTY and the PUBLIC BODY acknowledge that this Agreement shall be binding upon
each of them and, to the extent permitted by law, upon their administrators, representatives,
executors, successors and assigns, and all persons acting by, through, under, or in concert with
