<br />ARTICLE 6. <br /> <br />Applicable Laws and Standards <br /> <br />This contract shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas and <br />enabling state/federal regulations, including federal grant requirements <br />applicable to funding sources as set out in Attachment(s) hereto, and Treasury <br />Circular 1075 (31 CFR Part 205) applicable to advance of funds. <br /> <br />PERFORMING AGENCY agrees Article 4413 (32g) V.T.C.S. [Uniform Grant and <br />Contract Management Standards Manual (UGCMS)], applies as terms and conditions <br />of this contract, and the standards are adopted by reference in their <br />entirety. If there is a conflict between the provisions of this contract and <br />UGCMS, the provisions of UGCMS will prevail unless expressly stated otherwise. <br />A copy of this manual and its references are provided to PERFORMING AGENCY by <br />RECEIVING AGENCY upon request. <br /> <br />An exception to UGCMS is made in that Attachment P, A-102, Audit Requirements, <br />is replaced. Audits shall be in compliance with OMB Circular A-128, Audits of <br />State and Local Governments. Such audits fulfill requirements of the Single <br />Audit Act of 1984, P.L. 98-502. Within 30 days of receipt of audit report, <br />PERFORMING AGENCY shall submit a copy to RECEIVING AGENCY, Internal Audit <br />Division. <br /> <br />PERFORMING AGENCY must obtain prior approval from RECEIVING AGENCY for major <br />project changes which are specified in RECEIVING AGENCY institutional prior <br />approval procedures. These procedures are incorporated by reference as a <br />condition of this contract. <br /> <br />PERFORMING AGENCY certifies by execution of this contract that its payment of <br />franchise taxes is current or, if PERFORMING AGENCY is exempt from payment of <br />franchise taxes, that it is not subject to the State of Texas franchise tax. <br />A false statement regarding franchise tax status shall be treated as a <br />material breach of this contract and may be grounds for termination at the <br />option of RECEIVING AGENCY. If franchise tax payments become delinquent <br />during the contract term, payments under this contract will be held until <br />PERFORMING AGENCY's delinquent franchise tax is paid in full. <br /> <br />ARTICLE 7. Assurances <br /> <br />PERFORMING AGENCY assures that no person shall, on the grounds of race, <br />creed, color, handicap, national origin, sex, political affiliation or <br />beliefs, be excluded from, be denied the benefit of, or be subjected to <br />discrimination under any program or activity funded in whole or in part under <br />this agreement. <br /> <br />Incorporated by reference the same as if specifically written herein are the <br />rules, regulations and all other requirements imposed by law, including but <br />not limited to compliance with those pertinent rules and regulations of the <br />State of Texas and those of United States agencies providing funds to the <br />State of Texas. <br /> <br />None of the funds, materials, property or services contributed by the Parties <br />under this contract shall be used in the performance of this contract for any <br />partisan political activity, or to further the election or defeat of any <br />candidate for public office. In addition, none of the funds reimbursed under <br />this contract shall be used to pay the salary or the expenses of anyone for <br /> <br />GENERAL PROVISIONS - Page 2 <br />
