Appropriation of Funds Lessee intends to continue each Schedule to which it is a party for the Schedule Term and to pay the Rent and other amounts due hereunder. Lessee reasonably believes that legally available funds in an amount sufficient to pay all Rent during the Schedule Term can be obtained. Lessee further intends to act in good faith to do those things reasonably and lawfully within its power to obtain and maintain funds from which the Rent may be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event sufficient funds are not appropriated to continue the Schedule Term for any fiscal period (as set forth on the Schedule) of Lessee beyond the fiscal period first in effect at the commencement of the Schedule Term, Lessee may terminate the Schedule with regard to those of the Assets on the Schedule so affected. Lessee shall endeavor to provide Lessor with written notice sixty (60) days prior to the end of its current Fiscal Period confirming which Assets on the Schedule will be so affected by the termination. All obligations of Lessee to make Rent Payments due with respect to those Assets after the end of the Fiscal Period for which such termination applies will cease, all interests of Lessee in those Assets will terminate, Lessee shall surrender those Assets in accordance with Section 15 (“Option to Extend; Surrender of Assets”) of this MOLA, and the applicable Schedule shall be deemed amended. Lessee represents and warrants it has adequate funds to meet its obligations during the first fiscal period of the Schedule Term. Lessor and Lessee intend that the obligation of Lessee to make Rent Payments under this MOLA shall constitute a current expense of Lessee and shall not in any way be construed to be a debt of Lessee in contravention of any applicable constitutional or statutory limitation or requirement concerning the creation of indebtedness by Lessee, nor shall anything contained herein constitute a pledge of the general revenues, funds or monies of Lessee or the State of Texas, as applicable, beyond the fiscal period for which sufficient funds have been appropriated to make Rent Payments hereunder.
Annual Appropriation of Funds Contractor acknowledges that the Contract term may extend over multiple City fiscal years, and that work and compensation under this Contract is contingent on the City Council appropriating funding for and authorizing such work and compensation for those fiscal years. This Contract may be terminated at the end of the fiscal year for which sufficient funding is not appropriated and authorized. City is not obligated to pay Contractor for any amounts not duly appropriated and authorized by City Council.
Retention of Funds Contractor hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Contractor (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Contractor’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Contractor’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Contractor, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Contractor to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
