subaward — Funds allocated to the RCO from another organization, for which RCO makes available to or assigns to
<br />another organization via this Agreement. Also, a subaward may be an award provided by a pass-through entity to a
<br />subrecipient for the subrecipient to carry out part of any award received by the pass-through entity. It does not include
<br />payments to a contractor or payments to an individual that is a beneficiary of a federal or other program. A subaward
<br />may be provided through any form of legal agreement, including an agreement that the pass-through entity considers
<br />a contract. Also see 2 C.F.R. § 200.92 (2013). For federal subawards, a subaward is for the purpose of carrying out a
<br />portion of a Federal award and creates a federal assistance relationship with the subrecipient (2 C.F.R. § 200.330
<br />(2013)). If this Agreement is a federal subaward, the subaward amount is the grant program amount in the Project
<br />Funding Section.
<br />subrecipient — Subrecipient means an entity that receives a subaward. For non-federal entities receiving federal
<br />funds, a subrecipient is an entity that receives a subaward from a pass-through entity to carry out part of a federal
<br />program; but does not include an individual that is a beneficiary of such program. A subrecipient may also be a
<br />recipient of other federal awards directly from a federal awarding agency (2 C.F.R. § 200.93 (2013)). If this
<br />Agreement is a federal subaward, the Sponsor is the subrecipient.
<br />useful service life — Period during which an asset or property is expected to be useable for the purpose it was
<br />acquired, developed, renovated, and/or restored per this Agreement.

<br />PERFORMANCE BY THE SPONSOR
<br />The Sponsor shall undertake the project as described in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Sponsor's proposed
<br />goals and objectives described in the application or documents submitted with the application, all as finally approved by the
<br />RCO. All submitted documents are incorporated by this reference as if fully set forth herein.
<br />Timely completion of the project and submission of required documents, including progress and final reports, is important.
<br />Failure to meet critical milestones or complete the project, as set out in this Agreement, is a material breach of the Agreement.
<br />ASSIGNMENT
<br />Neither this Agreement, nor any claim arising under this Agreement, shall be transferred or assigned by the Sponsor without
<br />prior written consent of the RCO.
<br />RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROJECT
<br />While RCO administers the grant that is the subject of this Agreement, the project itself remains the sole responsibility of the
<br />Sponsor. The RCO and Funding Entity (if different from the RCO) undertakes no responsibilities to the Sponsor, or to any third
<br />party, other than as is expressly set out in this Agreement . The responsibility for the implementation of the project is solely
<br />that of the Sponsor, as is the responsibility for any claim or suit of any nature by any third party related in any way to the
<br />project. When a project is Sponsored by more than one entity, any and all Sponsors are equally responsible for the project and
<br />all post -completion stewardship responsibilities and long-term obligations unless otherwise stated in this Agreement.
<br />The RCO has no responsibility for reviewing, approving, overseeing or supervising design or construction of the project and
<br />leaves such review, approval, oversight and supervision exclusively to the Sponsor and others with expertise or authority. In
<br />this respect, the RCO will act only to confirm at a general, lay, and nontechnical level, solely for the purpose of compliance and
<br />payment and not for safety or suitability, that the project has apparently been completed as per the Agreement.
<br />INDEMNIFICATION
<br />The Sponsor shall defend, indemnify, and hold the State and its officers and employees harmless from all claims, demands, or
<br />suits at law or equity arising in whole or in part from the actual or alleged acts, errors, omissions or negligence in connection
<br />with this Agreement (including without limitation all work or activities thereunder), or the breach of any obligation under this
<br />Agreement by the Sponsor or the Sponsor's agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors, or vendors, of any tier, or any
<br />other persons for whom the Sponsor may be legally liable.
<br />Provided that nothing herein shall require a Sponsor to defend or indemnify the State against and hold harmless the State
<br />from claims, demands or suits based solely upon the negligence of the State, its employees and/or agents for whom the State
<br />is vicariously liable.
<br />Provided further that if the claims or suits are caused by or result from the concurrent negligence of (a) the Sponsor or the
<br />Sponsor's agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors or vendors, of any tier, or any other persons for whom the Sponsor
<br />is legally liable, and (b) the State its employees and agents for whom it is vicariously liable, the indemnity obligation shall be
<br />valid and enforceable only to the extent of the Sponsor's negligence or the negligence of the Sponsor's agents, employees,
<br />contractors, subcontractors or vendors, of any tier, or any other persons for whom the Sponsor may be legally liable.
