the project.
14. Contract Termination. This Contract may be terminated as follows:
a) Termination Due to Loss of Funding. The parties hereto expressly recognize that the Contractor is to be
paid, reimbursed, or otherwise compensated with federal ESG funds provided to the state for the purpose of
contracting for the services provided for herein, and therefore, the Contractor expressly understands and agrees
that all its rights, demands and claims to compensation arising under this Contract are contingent upon receipt of

may immediately terminate or amend this Contract.

manner his obligations under this Contract, or if the Contractor shall violate any of the covenants, agreements,
or stipulations of this Contract, the state shall thereupon have the right to terminate this
Contract for cause by giving written notice to the Contractor of such termination and specifying the
effective date thereof, at least five (5) days before the effective date of such termination. In that event, all finished
or unfinished documents, data, studies, surveys, drawings, maps, models, photographs, and reports or other
material prepared by the Contractor under this Contract shall, at the option of the state, become its property, and

specifying the effective date thereof, at least twenty (20) days before the effective date of such termination. In
that event, all finished or unfinished documents and other materials as described in subparagraph (b) above shall,
at the option of the state, become its property. If the Contract is terminated by the state as provided herein, the
Contractor will be paid an amount which bears the same ratio to the total compensation as the services actually
performed bear to the total services of the Contractor covered by this Contract, less payments of compensation
previously made: Provided, however, that if less than sixty percent (60%) of the services covered by this Contract
have been performed upon the effective date of such termination, the Contractor shall be reimbursed (in addition
to the above payment) for that portion of the actual out-of-pocket expenses (not otherwise reimbursed under this
Contract) incurred by the Contractor during the contract period which are directly attributable to the uncompleted
portion of the services covered by this Contract. If this Contract is terminated due to the fault of the contractor,
Paragraph 14.b) above relative to termination for cause shall apply.

disposition of real property), no persons described in subparagraph i) below who exercise or have exercised any

may grant an exception to the provisions of this subparagraph b) when it determines that such an
exception will serve to further the purposes of the ESG program and the effective and efficient
administration of the contractor's project. An exception may be considered only after the Contractor has
provided the following:

there has been or will be a public disclosure of the conflict and a description of
how the public disclosure was or will be made; and
ii. the affected person has withdrawn from his or her functions or responsibilities,
or the decision making process with respect to the specific ESG assisted activity in
question; and
b. An opinion of the contractor's attorney that the interest for which the exception is
sought would not violate state or local law; and
c. A written statement signed by the chief elected official or executive director of the
Contractor holding the state harmless from all liability in connection with any exception which
may be granted by the state to the provisions of this subparagraph b);
Hi) Factors to be Considered for Exceptions. In determining whether to grant a requested exception
after the Contractor has satisfactorily met the requirements of subparagraph ii) above, the state shall
consider the cumulative effect of the following factors, where applicable:

of expertise to the project which would otherwise not be available;
b. Whether an opportunity was provided for open competitive bidding or negotiation;
c. Whether the person affected is a member of a group or class of low or moderate income
persons intended to be beneficiaries of the ESG assisted activity, and the exception will permit
such person to receive generally the same benefits as are being made available or provided to
the group or class;
d. Whether the interest or benefit was present before the affected person was in a position
as described in this subparagraph b);
e. Whether undue hardship will result either to the Contractor or the person affected when
weighed against the public interest served by avoiding the prohibited conflict; and
f. Any other relevant considerations.
