requests for the expenditure of Grant funds for pre -approval by the SEOPW CRA. Failure to submit said requests

that no payment will be made to Grantee as a reimbursement for any Program -specific expenditure paid in cash or

acknowledges that cash and mobile payment transactions are insufficient per se to comply with record -keeping
requirements under this Agreement.

Grantee or Grantee's vendors for services not performed or for goods, materials, or equipment which have not been
delivered to Grantee for use in connection with the Program.

Grant is subject to specific reporting, record keeping, administrative, and contracting guidelines and other
requirements affecting the SEOPW CRA activities in issuing the funds. SEOPW CRA agrees to provide notice of

g. SEVERABILITY. Should any provision contained in this Agreement be determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or otherwise unenforceable under the laws of the State of

writing and signed by both parties.
