REPAYMENT OF CARES FUNDS. All CARES Funds are subject to repayment in the event the Program does not meet the requirements of this Contract or the CARES Act or applicable federal regulations or guidelines. If Agency takes any action that results in the City being required to repay all or any portion of the CARES Funds to the United States federal government, Agency agrees it will reimburse City for such repayment. If Agency takes any action that results in City receiving a finding from the Office of the Inspector General for the U.S.Treasury Department or other reviewing entity with regard to the Program,whether or not repayment of all or any portion of the CARES Funds is required of City, Agency agrees City may require that Agency pay, out of its separate funds, an amount equal to 10% of the CARES Funds as liquidated damages.

City's other federal grant funds as well as any required repayment of funds to the federal government by City.
