Instead, they will be permitted to flex their work hours as necessary to accomplish Task Force objectives and assignments. In further recognition of the benefit to be gained by the entity participating in the Task Force, it is agreed that no entity that is a party to this Agreement shall receive or be entitled to reimbursement from another entity participating in this Agreement for any services performed pursuant to this Agreement. It is further agreed that, in the event that any peace officer assigned to the Task Force is cited as a party defendant to any civil lawsuit, state or federal, arising out of his or her official acts while functioning as a peace officer assigned to the Task Force, said peace officer shall be entitled to the same benefits that such officer would be entitled to receive had such civil action risen out of an official act within the scope of his or her duties as a member and in the jurisdiction of the law enforcement agency from which he or she was assigned. Further, no entity shall be responsible for the acts of a peace officer of another entity assigned to the Task Force. Each entity participating herein indemnifies and holds all other participating entities harmless for all acts of its own officers and employees acting hereunder, to the full extent permitted by law.

Third party claims against members shall be governed by the Texas Tort Claims Act or other appropriate statutes and laws of the State of Texas and the United States. It is expressly understood and agreed that, in the execution of this Agreement, no party waives, nor shall be deemed hereby to waive, any immunity or defense that would otherwise be available to it against claims arising in the exercise of governmental powers and functions. The validity of this Agreement and of any of its terms or provisions, as well as the rights and duties of the parties hereunder, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision thereof and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. This Agreement shall become effective as to a party hereto on the day of the execution of the Agreement by the party, and shall continue in effect as to a participating entity for one year from the date of signature and thereafter until it has been terminated or rescinded by appropriate action of the participating entity's governing body, or expires due to termination of the grant or by operation of law. (To minimize the administrative difficulty of signature between the many parties, each city or other law enforcement entity will sign a substantially similar agreement with Tarrant County; however, each party signing substantially similar copies is immediately bound THE TARRANT REGIONAL AUTO CRIMES TASK FORCE INTERLOCAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT-PAGE 7 one to another to all other entities participating during the time said agreement is in force as to said entity, even though the parties' signatures appear on different copies of the substantially similar copies.

This instrument contains all commitments and agreements of the parties, and no oral or written commitments have any force or effect to alter any term or condition of this Agreement, unless the same are done in proper form and in a manner constituting a bona fide amendment hereto. Two non-local entities, the Texas Department of Public Safety and the National Insurance Crime Bureau each enter separate agreements with Tarrant County for the following reasons: Each entity's staff member carries a statewide law enforcement commission and therefore does not require the enhanced law enforcement jurisdiction afforded by this Agreement; Each entity funds their staff member's salary and fringe benefits 100%; and each entity's staff member performs in a support role to the Task Force and is available less than 100% of their work week because the availability of THE TARRANT REGIONAL AUTO CRIMES TASK FORCE INTERLOCAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT-PAGE 8 each is subject to assignments from their entity. The parties agree that their collective agreement may be evidenced by the execution of an identical counterpart of this instrument by the duly authorized official(s) of each participant and the failure of any anticipated member to enter into or renew this Agreement shall not affect the agreement between and among the parties executing the Agreement.
