<br />afforded by the policies shall be primary insurance, and that any insurance, self-insured retention, deductibles, or risk retention trusts maintained or participated in by the Parties
<br />shall be excess and not contributory to any other insurance maintained by the County. Contractor shall furnish the County a certificate of insurance with Endorsement as evidence that
<br />the required policies are in full force and effect.
<br />
<br />Section 8. Termination.
<br />
<br />The County may, by written notice thereof to Contractor, terminate this Agreement as to all or any portion of the Services not yet performed, whether or not Contractor is in breach or

<br />this Agreement. Contractor further warrants to the County that Contractor has made no misrepresentation or misleading statement in connection with this Agreement, and is not in violation
