Requirements of the award;remedies for non-compliance or for materially false statements The conditions of this award are material requirements of the award.Compliance with any assurances or certifications submitted by or on behalf of the recipient that relate to conduct during the period of performance also is a material requirement of this award. Limited Exceptions.In certain special circumstances,the U.S.Department of Justice("DOT')may determine that it will not enforce,or enforce only in part,one or more requirements otherwise applicable to the award.Any such exceptions regarding enforcement,including any such exceptions made during the period of performance,are(or will be during the period of performance)set out through the Office of Justice Programs("OJP")webpage entitled"Legal Notices: Special circumstances as to particular award conditions"(ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalNotices-AwardRegts.htm),and incorporated by reference into the award. By signing and accepting this award on behalf of the recipient,the authorized recipient official accepts all material requirements of the award,and specifically adopts,as if personally executed by the authorized recipient official,all assurances or certifications submitted by or on behalf of the recipient that relate to conduct during the period of performance. Failure to comply with one or more award requirements--whether a condition set out in full below,a condition incorporated by reference below,or an assurance or certification related to conduct during the award period--may result in OJP taking appropriate action with respect to the recipient and the award.Among other things,the OJP may withhold award funds,disallow costs,or suspend or terminate the award.DOJ,including OJP,also may take other legal action as appropriate. Any materially false,fictitious,or fraudulent statement to the federal government related to this award(or concealment or omission of a material fact)may be the subject of criminal prosecution(including under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or 1621, and/or 34 U.S.C.10271-10273),and also may lead to imposition of civil penalties and administrative remedies for false claims or otherwise(including under 31 U.S.C.3729-3730 and 3801-3812). Should any provision of a requirement of this award be held to be invalid or unenforceable by its terms,that provision shall first be applied with a limited construction so as to give it the maximum effect permitted by law.Should it be held,instead,that the provision is utterly invalid or-unenforceable,such provision shall be deemed severable from this award.

Applicability of Part 200 Uniform Requirements The Uniform Administrative Requirements,Cost Principles,and Audit Requirements in 2 C.F.R.Part 200,as adopted and supplemented by DOJ in 2 C.F.R.Part 2800(together,the"Part 200 Uniform Requirements")apply to this FY 2020 award from OJP. The Part 200 Uniform Requirements were first adopted by DOJ on December 26,2014. If this FY 2020 award supplements funds previously awarded by OJP under the same award number(e.g.,funds awarded during or before December 2014),the Part 200 Uniform Requirements apply with respect to all funds under that award number (regardless of the award date,and regardless of whether derived from the initial award or a supplemental award)that are obligated on or after the acceptance date of this FY 2020 award. For more information and resources on the Part 200 Uniform Requirements as they relate to OJP awards and subawards ("subgrants"),see the OJP website at https://ojp.gov/funding/Part200UniformRequirements.htm. Record retention and access: Records pertinent to the award that the recipient(and any subrecipient("subgrantee")at any tier)must retain--typically for a period of 3 years from the date of submission of the final expenditure report(SF 425),unless a different retention period applies--and to which the recipient(and any subrecipient("subgrantee")at any tier)must provide access,include performance measurement information,in addition to the financial records, supporting documents,statistical records,and other pertinent records indicated at 2 C.F.R.200.333.

Compliance with DOJ Grants Financial Guide References to the DOJ Grants Financial Guide are to the DOJ Grants Financial Guide as posted on the OJP website (currently,the"DOJ Grants Financial Guide"available at https:Hojp.gov/financialguide/DOJ/index.htm),including any updated version that may be posted during the period of performance. The recipient agrees to comply with the DOJ Grants Financial Guide. 4. Reclassification of various statutory provisions to a new Title 34 of the United States Code On September 1,2017,various statutory provisions previously codified elsewhere in the U.S.Code were editorially reclassified(that is,moved and renumbered)to a new Title 34,entitled"Crime Control and Law Enforcement."The reclassification encompassed a number of statutory provisions pertinent to OJP awards(that is,OJP grants and cooperative agreements),including many provisions previously codified in Title 42 of the U.S.Code. Effective as of September 1,2017,any reference in this award document to a statutory provision that has been reclassified to the new Title 34 of the U.S.Code is to be read as a reference to that statutory provision as reclassified to Title 34.This rule of construction specifically includes references set out in award conditions,references set out in material incorporated by reference through award conditions,and references set out in other award requirements.
