The Franchise Hauler shall not haul Controllable Waste to any materials recovery facility, composting facility, intermediate processing facility, recycling center, transfer station or other waste handling or management facility unless the contract or other agreement or arrangement between the Franchise Hauler and the operator of such facility is sufficient in the opinion of the County to assure that the Residue from such facility constituting City Acceptable Waste (or Tonnage equivalencies) and the City Acceptable Waste transferred by such facility shall be delivered to the Designated Disposal Facility in compliance with the Waste Disposal Covenant. 6. The Franchise Hauler shall pay the Contract Rate imposed by the County at the Designated Disposal Facility for the disposal of all Controllable Waste, which rate shall be subject to potential adjustment necessary to reflect the circumstances set forth in the Disposal Agreement. 7. Nothing in this Acknowledgment is intended to restrict any right or responsibility explicitly given the Franchise Hauler in the Franchise to recycle City Acceptable Waste, except as provided in paragraph 5 above with respect to Residue from any such recycling operations. 8. The obligations of the Franchise Hauler under this Acknowledgment shall apply notwithstanding any provision of the Franchise which may conflict herewith. 9. This Acknowledgment may be enforced by the City by any available legal means. In any enforcement action by the City, the burden of proof shall be on the Franchise Hauler to demonstrate compliance herewith. 10. This Acknowledgment shall be in full force and effect and shall be legally binding upon the City and Franchise Hauler from the dated hereof and shall continue in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) the end of the term of the Franchise or (ii) the end of the term of the Disposal Agreement. 11. The City and Hauler agree that the County shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Acknowledgment, and shall be entitled to independently enforce the obligations of the Franchise Hauler hereunder. 12. The Hauler agrees to assist the County in verifying tonnage collected by the Franchise Hauler and providing information required by the County. Hauler will provide upon request refuse tonnage collected within the County, and outside the County (if relevant to confirming tonnage origination), separated by jurisdiction, by load type (residential, commercial, roll-off box), and by facility to which it was delivered (specify which landfill or transfer station).
