<br />10. EXCLUSIVITY AND AMENDMENT
<br />
<br />This Agreement represents the complete and exclusive statement between the City and
<br />Provider, and supersedes any and all other agreements, oral or written, between the parties. In
<br />the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any attachments hereto, the
<br />terms of this Agreement shall prevail. This Agreement may not be modified except by written

<br />agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by any party, or anyone acting on behalf of any
<br />party, which are not embodied herein.

<br />the City's prior written consent shall be considered null and void. Nothing in this Agreement
<br />shall be construed to limit the City's ability to have any of the services which are the subject to

<br />specified in the Recitals of this Agreement.
