Reasonable and necessary to accomplish the Work and for the Goods and Services provided; and b. Equal to the actual net cost to Subrecipient (i.e. the price paid minus any items of value received by Subrecipient that reduce the cost actually incurred). iv. Subrecipient's costs for Work performed after the Fund Expenditure End Date shown on the Cover Page for this Agreement, or after any phase performance period end date for a respective phase of the Work, shall not be reimbursable.

C. Performance and Final Status Subrecipient shall submit all financial, performance and other reports to the State no later than 45 calendar days after the end of the Initial Term if no Extension Terms are exercised, or the final Extension Term exercised by the State, containing an evaluation and review of Subrecipient's performance and the final status of Subrecipient's obligations hereunder.

Subrecipient shall provide copies of those signed nondisclosure provisions to the State upon execution of the nondisclosure provisions if requested by the State. C. Use, Security, and Retention Subrecipient shall use, hold and maintain State Confidential Information in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations only in facilities located within the United States, and shall maintain a secure environment that ensures confidentiality of all State Confidential Information. Subrecipient shall provide the State with access, subject to Subrecipient's reasonable security requirements, for purposes of inspecting and monitoring access and use of State Confidential Information and evaluating security control effectiveness. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Subrecipient shall return State Records provided to Subrecipient or destroy such State Records and certify to the State that it has done so, as directed by the State. If Subrecipient is prevented by law or regulation from returning or destroying State Confidential Information, Subrecipient warrants it will guarantee the confidentiality of, and cease to use, such State Confidential Information. D. Incident Notice and Remediation If Subrecipient becomes aware of any Incident, Subrecipient shall notify the State immediately and cooperate with the State regarding recovery, remediation, and the necessity to involve law enforcement, as determined by the State. Unless Subrecipient can establish that Subrecipient and its agents, employees, and Subcontractors are not the cause or source of the Incident, Subrecipient shall be responsible for the cost of notifying each person who may have been impacted by the Incident. After an Incident, Subrecipient shall take steps to reduce the risk of incurring a similar type of Incident in the future as directed by the State, which may include, but is not limited to, developing and implementing a remediation plan that is approved by the State at no additional cost to the State. The State may adjust or direct modifications to this plan, in its sole discretion and Subrecipient shall make all modifications as directed by the State. If Subrecipient cannot produce its analysis and plan within the allotted time, the State, in its sole discretion, may perform such analysis and produce a remediation plan, and Subrecipient shall reimburse the State for the reasonable costs thereof. The State may, in its sole discretion and at Subrecipient's sole expense, require Subrecipient to engage the services of an independent, qualified, State -approved third party to conduct a security audit. Subrecipient shall provide the State with the results of such audit and evidence of Subrecipient's planned remediation in response to any negative findings. E. Data Protection and Handling Subrecipient shall ensure that all State Records and Work Product in the possession of Subrecipient or any Subcontractors are protected and handled in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, including the requirements of any Exhibits hereto, at all times. As used in this section, the protections afforded Work Product only apply to Work Product that requires confidential treatment. F. Safeguarding PH If Subrecipient or any of its Subcontractors will or may receive PII under this Agreement, Subrecipient shall provide for the security of such PII, in a manner and form acceptable to the State, including, without limitation, State non -disclosure requirements, use of appropriate technology, security practices, computer access security, data access security, data storage encryption, data transmission encryption, security inspections, and audits.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST A. Actual Conflicts of Interest Subrecipient shall not engage in any business or activities or maintain any relationships that conflict in any way with the full performance of the obligations of Subrecipient under this Agreement. Such a conflict of interest would arise when a Subrecipient or Subcontractor's employee, officer or agent were to offer or provide any tangible personal benefit to an employee of the State, or any member of his or her immediate family or his or her partner, related to the award of, entry into or management or oversight of this Agreement. Page 10of45 Version 10i23:19 DocuSign Envelope ID: 32FiF386-76AD-45A6-88C1-4BB20D4FB7E2 Contract Number: 23-HTR-ZL-00074/491003115 B. Apparent Conflicts of Interest Subrecipient acknowledges that, with respect to this Agreement, even the appearance of a conflict of interest shall be harmful to the State's interests. Absent the State's prior written approval, Subrecipient shall refrain from any practices, activities or relationships that reasonably appear to be in conflict with the full performance of Subrecipient's obligations under this Agreement. C. Disclosure to the State If a conflict or the appearance of a conflict arises, or if Subrecipient is uncertain whether a conflict or the appearance of a conflict has arisen, Subrecipient shall submit to the State a disclosure statement setting forth the relevant details for the State's consideration. Failure to promptly submit a disclosure statement or to follow the State's direction in regard to the actual or apparent conflict constitutes a breach of this Agreement. D. Subrecipient acknowledges that all State employees are subject to the ethical principles described in §24-18- 105, C.R.S. Subrecipient further acknowledges that State employees may be subject to the requirements of §24-18-105, C.R.S., with regard to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, an actual or apparent conflict of interest shall exist if Subrecipient employs or contracts with any State employee, any former State employee within six months following such employee's termination of employment with the State, or any immediate family member of such current or former State employee. Subrecipient shall provide a disclosure statement as described in §9.C. no later than ten days following entry into a contractual or employment relationship as described in this section. Failure to timely submit a disclosure statement shall constitute a Breach of Agreement. Subrecipient may also be subject to such penalties as are allowed by law. 10.

E. Primacy of Coverage Coverage required of Subrecipient and each Subcontractor shall be primary over any insurance or self- insurance program carried by Subrecipient or the State. F. Cancellation All insurance policies shall include provisions preventing cancellation or non -renewal, except for cancellation based on non-payment of premiums, without at least 30 days prior notice to Subrecipient and Page I of45 Version 10/231I9 DocuSign Envelope ID: 32FiF386-76AD-45A6-88C1-4BB20D4FB7E2 Contract Number: 23-HTR-Zi-00074/491003115 Subrecipient shall forward such notice to the State in accordance with §14 within seven days of Subrecipient's receipt of such notice. G. Subrogation Waiver All insurance policies secured or maintained by Subrecipient or its Subcontractors in relation to this Agreement shall include clauses stating that each carrier shall waive all rights of recovery under subrogation or otherwise against Subrecipient or the State, its agencies, institutions, organizations, officers, agents, employees, and volunteers. H. Public Entities If Subrecipient is a "public entity" within the meaning of the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, §24- 10-101, etseq., C.R.S. (the "GIA"), Subrecipient shall maintain, in lieu of the liability insurance requirements stated above, at all times during the term of this Agreement such liability insurance, by commercial policy or self-insurance, as is necessary to meet its liabilities under the GIA. If Subcontractor is a public entity within the meaning of the GIA, Subrecipient shall ensure that the Subcontractor maintain at all times during the terms of this Subrecipient, in lieu of the liability insurance requirements stated above, such liability insurance, by commercial policy or self-insurance, as is necessary to meet the Subcontractor's obligations under the GIA. I. Certificates For each insurance plan provided by Subrecipient under this Agreement, Subrecipient shall provide to the State certificates evidencing Subrecipient's insurance coverage required in this Agreement prior to the Effective Date. Subrecipient shall provide to the State certificates evidencing Subcontractor insurance coverage required under this Agreement prior to the Effective Date, except that, if Subrecipient's subcontract is not in effect as of the Effective Date, Subrecipient shall provide to the State certificates showing Subcontractor insurance coverage required under this Agreement within seven Business Days following Subrecipient's execution of the subcontract. No later than 15 days before the expiration date of Subrecipient's or any Subcontractor's coverage, Subrecipient shall deliver to the State certificates of insurance evidencing renewals of coverage. At any other time during the term of this Agreement, upon request by the State, Subrecipient shall, within seven Business Days following the request by the State, supply to the State evidence satisfactory to the State of compliance with the provisions of this section. 11. BREACH OF AGREEMENT In the event of a Breach of Agreement, the aggrieved Party shall give written notice of breach to the other Party. If the notified Party does not cure the Breach of Agreement, at its sole expense, within 30 days after the delivery of written notice, the Party may exercise any of the remedies as described in §12 for that Party. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the State, in its discretion, need not provide notice or a cure period and may inunediately terminate this Agreement in whole or in part or institute any other remedy in this Agreement in order to protect the public interest of the State; or if Subrecipient is debarred or suspended under §24-109-105, C.A.S., the State, in its discretion, need not provide notice or cure period and may terminate this Agreement in whole or in part or institute any other remedy in this Agreement as of the date that the debarment or suspension takes effect. 12. REMEDIES A. State's Remedies If Subrecipient is in breach under any provision of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach, the State, following the notice and cure period set forth in §11, shall have all of the remedies listed in this section in addition to all other remedies set forth in this Agreement or at law. The State may exercise any or all of the remedies available to it, in its discretion, concurrently or consecutively. i. Termination for Breach of Agreement In the event of Subrecipient's uncured breach, the State may terminate this entire Agreement or any part of this Agreement. Additionally, if Subrecipient fails to comply with any terms of the Federal Award, then the State may, in its discretion or at the direction of a Federal Awarding Agency, terminate this entire Agreement or any part of this Agreement. Subrecipient shall continue performance of this Agreement to the extent not terminated, if any. Page 12 of45 Version 10+23+19 DocuSign Envelope ID: 32F1F386-76AD-45A6-88C1-4B620D4FB7E2 Contract Number: 23-HTR-ZL-00074r491003115 a. Obligations and Rights To the extent specified in any termination notice, Subrecipient shall not incur further obligations or render further performance past the effective date of such notice, and shall terminate outstanding orders and subcontracts with third parties. However, Subrecipient shall complete and deliver to the State all Work not cancelled by the termination notice, and may incur obligations as necessary to do so within this Agreement's terms. At the request of the State, Subrecipient shall assign to the State all of Subrecipient's rights, title, and interest in and to such terminated orders or subcontracts. Upon termination, Subrecipient shall take timely, reasonable and necessary action to protect and preserve property in the possession of Subrecipient but in which the State has an interest. At the State's request, Subrecipient shall return materials owned by the State in Subrecipient's possession at the time of any termination. Subrecipient shall deliver all completed Work Product and all Work Product that was in the process of completion to the State at the State's request. b. Payments Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the State shall only pay Subrecipient for accepted Work received as of the date of termination. If, after termination by the State, the State agrees that Subrecipient was not in breach or that Subrecipient's action or inaction was excusable, such termination shall be treated as a termination in the public interest, and the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be as if this Agreement had been terminated in the public interest under §2.E. c. Damages and Withholding Notwithstanding any other remedial action by the State, Subrecipient shall remain liable to the State for any damages sustained by the State in connection with any breach by Subrecipient, and the State may withhold payment to Subrecipient for the purpose of mitigating the State's damages until such time as the exact amount of damages due to the State from Subrecipient is determined. The State may withhold any amount that may be due Subrecipient as the State deems necessary to protect the State against loss including, without limitation, loss as a result of outstanding liens and excess costs incurred by the State in procuring from third parties replacement Work as cover. ii. Remedies Not Involving Termination The State, in its discretion, may exercise one or more of the following additional remedies: a. Suspend Performance Suspend Subrecipient's performance with respect to all or any portion of the Work pending corrective action as specified by the State without entitling Subrecipient to an adjustment in price or cost or an adjustment in the performance schedule. Subrecipient shall promptly cease performing Work and incurring costs in accordance with the State's directive, and the State shall not be liable for costs incurred by Subrecipient after the suspension of performance. b. Withhold Payment Withhold payment to Subrecipient until Subrecipient corrects its Work. c. Deny Payment Deny payment for Work not performed, or that due to Subrecipient's actions or inactions, cannot be performed or if they were performed are reasonably of no value to the state; provided, that any denial of payment shall be equal to the value of the obligations not performed. d. Removal Demand immediate removal of any of Subrecipient's employees, agents, or Subcontractors from the Work whom the State deems incompetent, careless, insubordinate, unsuitable, or otherwise unacceptable or whose continued relation to this Agreement is deemed by the State to be contrary to the public interest or the State's best interest. e. Intellectual Property If any Work infringes, or if the State in its sole discretion determines that any Work is likely to infringe, a patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right, Subrecipient shall, as approved by the State (i) secure that right to use such Work for the State and Subrecipient; Page 13 of 45 Version 10+23.19 DocuSign Envelope ID: 32FIF386-76AD45A6-88C1-4BB24D4FB7E2 Contract Number: 23-HTR-ZL-00074/491003115 (h) replace the Work with noninfringing Work or modify the Work so that it becomes noninfringing; or, (iii) remove any infringing Work and refund the amount paid for such Work to the State. B. Subrecipient's Remedies If the State is in breach of any provision of this Agreement and does not cure such breach, Subrecipient, following the notice and cure period in §11 and the dispute resolution process in §13 shall have all remedies available at law and equity. 13.
