The illegal or invalid provision will be deemed stricken and deleted herefrom to the same extent and effect as if never incorporated herein, but all other provisions will continue. ARTICLE 6. Applicable Laws and Standards This contract will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas and enabling state/federal regulations, including federal grant requirements applicable to funding sources as set out in attachment(s) hereto, and Treasury Circular 1075 (31 CFR Part 205) as applicable to advance of funds. PERFORMING AGENCY agrees Article 4413 (32g), V.T.C.S., [Uniform Grant and Contract Management Standards Manual (UGCMS)] , as may be amended by revised federal circulars to be incorporated in UGCMS by the Governor's Budget and Planning Office, applies as terms and conditions of this contract, and the standards are adopted by reference in their entirety. If a conflict arises between the provisions of this contract and UGCMS. the provisions of UGCMS will prevail unless expressly stated otherwise. A copy of this manual and its references are provided to PERFORMING AGENCY by RECEIVING AGENCY upon request. PERFORMING AGENCY must obtain prior approval from RECEIVING AGENCY for major project changes which are specified in RECEIVING AGENCY's institutional prior approval procedures. These procedures are incorporated by reference as a condition of this contract. In accordance with Section 1352 of Public Law 101-121, effective December 22, 1989, PERFORMING AGENCY is prohibited from using funds granted under this contract for lobbying Congress or any agency in connection with a particular contract. In addition, if at any time a contract exceeds $100,000, the law requires certification that none of the funds provided by RECEIVING AGENCY to PERFORMING AGENCY have been used for payment to lobbyists. Regardless of funding source, and if a contract exceeds $100,000, a disclosure form must be completed if PERFORMING AGENCY has any agreement with a lobbyist. This certification and/or form is available upon request and must be forwarded to RECEIVING AGENCY within 90 days of receipt. PERFORMING AGENCY certifies by execution of this contract that its payment of franchise taxes is current or, if PERFORMING AGENCY is exempt from payment of franchise taxes, that it is not subject to the State of Texas franchise tax. A false statement regarding franchise tax status will be treated as a material breach of this contract and may be grounds for termination at the option of RECEIVING AGENCY. If franchise tax payments become delinquent during the attachment term, payments under this contract will be held until PERFORMING AGENCY's delinquent franchise tax is paid in full. 1991 GENERAL PROVISIONS - Page 2 (rev.5/90)
