The City of Corpus Christi will provide services to the newly annexed area in a manner

shall not constitute Force Majeure for purposes of this Agreement.

extent the unenforceability does not destroy the basis of the bargain among the parties,
the unenforceable provision will not affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement
will be construed as if the unenforceable provision had never been a part of the
Agreement. Whenever context requires, the singular will include the plural and neuter
include the masculine or feminine gender, and vice versa. Headings on this Agreement
are for reference only and are not intended to restrict or define the text of any section.
This Agreement will not be construed more or less favorably between the Parties by
reason of authorship or origin of language.

by both the City and the landowner or landowners after it has been authorized by the City
Council.
