This Agreement contains all commitments and agreements of the Parties with respect to the Mutual Aid to be rendered hereunder during or in connection with a Disaster and/or Civil Emergency. No other oral or written commitments of the Parties with respect to Mutual Aid under this Agreement shall have any force or effect if not contained herein, except as provided in Sections 16 and 17 below. 15. RATIFICATION. Each Party hereby ratifies the actions of its personnel and the rendering and/or receiving of Mutual Aid taken prior to the date of this Agreement. 16. OTHER MUTUAL AID AGREEMENTS. It is understood that certain Parties may have heretofore contracted or may hereafter contract with each other for Mutual Aid in Civil Emergency and/or Disaster situations, and it is agreed that, to the extent there is a conflict between this Agreement and any other such Mutual Aid agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall be superior to any such individual contract; provided, however, that the Assisting and Requesting Parties may agree to use expense reimbursement provisions of another existing Mutual Aid Agreement between them. 17. INTERLOCAL COOPERATION ACT. The Parties agree that Mutual Aid in the context contemplated herein is a "governmental function and service", including aid rendered by a municipally- owned public power utility, and that the Parties are "local governments" as that term is defined herein and in the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Texas Government Code Chapter 791. 18. CONFIDENTIALITY. The Parties recognize that the provision of Mutual Aid under this Agreement may result in the transfer of confidential medical information between them.

SEVERABILITY. If a provision contained in this Agreement is held invalid for any reason, the invalidity does not affect other provisions of the Agreement that can be given effect without the invalid provision, and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are severable. 20. VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY. If any current or future legal limitations affect the validity or enforceability of a provision of this Agreement, then the legal limitations are made a part of this Agreement and shall operate to amend this Agreement to the minimum extent necessary to bring this Agreement into conformity with the requirements of the limitations, and so modified, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. 21. AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended only by the mutual written consent of the Parties. 22. TERMINATION. Any Party may at any time by resolution or notice given to the Administrative Agency decline to participate in the provision of Mutual Aid. The governing body of a Party which is a signatory hereto shall, by resolution, give notice of termination of participation in this Agreement and submit a certified copy of such resolution to the Administrative Agency. Such termination shall become effective not earlier than 30 days after the filing of such notice. The termination by one or more of the Parties of its participation in this Agreement shall not affect the operation of this Agreement as between the other Parties hereto.
