received at least thirty (30) days prior to the intended date of termination. If notice is so given,
this Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of thirty (30) days, or until the eligible

hereunder for further performance of the terms of this Agreement shall thereupon cease;
however, the parties shall not be released from the duty to perform their obligations up to the date
of termination. This provision does not affect removal of a child in an emergency situation.
2 Contractor agrees that Contractor is an independent contractor and that neither Contractor nor
Contractor's agents or employees are, or shall be deemed to be, agents or employees of the
County for any purpose. Contractor shall have no authorization, express or implied, to bind the
County to any agreement, liability, or understanding. The parties agree that Contractor will not
become an employee of County, nor is Contractor entitled to any employee benefits from County
as a result of the execution of this Agreement. Contractor shall be solely and entirely responsible
for its acts or of any agent, employee, servants and sub -contractors during the performance of
this Agreement.
3. Payment pursuant to this Agreement, if in State of Colorado, county, or federal funds, whether in
whole or in part, is subject to and contingent upon the continuing availability of State of Colorado,
county, and federal funds for the purpose thereof.
4. This Amendment is intended to be applied in conjunction with attached Agreement and the Needs
Based Care Addendum as the complete integration of all understandings between the parties.
No prior or contemporaneous addition, deletion or other amendment hereto shall have any force
or affect whatsoever, unless embodied herein in writing. No subsequent notation, renewal,
addition, deletion, or other amendment hereto shall have any force or effect unless embodied as
a part of this written Agreement. This section shall not be construed as prohibiting the periodic
amending of this Agreement or the Needs Based Care Addendum in writing, if agreed to by both
parties. The Agreement, this Exhibit A and the Needs Based Care Addendum are intended to be
in lieu of and supersede all prior agreements between the parties hereto and relating to the care
and services herein described.

permitted to monitor the service program, fiscal and other records sufficiently to assure the
