If Customer’s right to use the Products hereunder is, or in Verkada’s opinion is likely to be, enjoined as the result of a Claim, then Verkada may, at Verkada’s sole option and expense procure for Customer the right to continue using the Products under the terms of this Agreement, or replace or modify the Products so as to be non-infringing and substantially equivalent in function to the claimed infringing or enjoined Products.
Verkada will have no indemnification obligations under this Section 10.1 to the extent that a Claim is based on or arises from: (a) use of the Products in a manner other than as expressly permitted in this Agreement; (b) any alteration or modification of the Products except as expressly authorized by Verkada; (c) the combination of the Products with any other software, product, or services (to the extent that the alleged 75

10.2. By Customer. Customer will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Verkada, its affiliates, and their respective owners, directors, members, officers, and employees (together, the “Verkada Indemnitees”) from and against any Claim, and the attorneys’ fees and court and investigative costs of Verkada Indemnitees, related to: (a) Customer or its Users engaging in a Prohibited Use; and (b) Customer’s indemnity obligation under the Alarms Addendum set forth in Exhibit B hereto (if any). Customer will pay any settlement of and any damages finally awarded against any Verkada Indemnitee by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of any such Claim so long as Verkada (i) gives Customer prompt written notice of the Claim, (ii) gives Customer sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (provided that Customer may not settle any Claim without Verkada’s prior written consent which will not be unreasonably withheld), and (iii) provides to Customer all reasonable assistance, at Customer’s request and expense.

11.3. Direct Damages Cap. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO EXCLUDED CLAIMS AND UNCAPPED CLAIMS, IN NO EVENT WILL THE COLLECTIVE LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS, AGENTS AND REPRESENTATIVES, TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY AND ALL DAMAGES, INJURIES, AND LOSSES ARISING FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF, BASED ON, RESULTING FROM, OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER FOR THE USE OF THE PRODUCTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE 24-MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE CLAIM.

12. MISCELLANEOUS
This Agreement is the entire agreement between Customer and Verkada and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings concerning the subject matter hereof. Customer and Verkada are independent contractors, and this Agreement will not establish any relationship of partnership, joint venture, or agency between Customer and Verkada. Failure to exercise any right under this Agreement will not constitute a waiver. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement. This Agreement is governed by the laws of California without reference to conflicts of law rules. Any notice provided by one party to the other under this Agreement will be in writing and sent either (i) by overnight courier or certified mail (receipt requested), in the case of Customer to Customer’s address on record in Verkada’s account information and in the case of Verkada, to 406 E. 3rd Ave., San Mateo, CA 94401, or (ii) by electronic mail to Customer’s email address on record in Verkada’s account information or to Verkada at [email protected]. If any provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable, the Agreement will be construed as if such provision had not been included. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior, written consent of the other party, except that either party may assign this Agreement without such consent in connection with an acquisition of the assigning party or a sale of all or substantially all of its assets. In the event of an assignment by Customer in connection with an acquisition of Customer or a sale of all or substantially all of Customer’s assets, Customer’s License may be transferred to the party acquiring Customer or 78
purchasing all or substantially all of its assets, subject to Verkada’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
A party will not be liable for any failure to perform caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control which would otherwise make such performance commercially impractical including, but not limited to, acts of God, fire, flood, acts of war, pandemics, government action, accident, labor difficulties or shortage, inability to obtain materials, equipment or transportation (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). If a Force Majeure Event lasts longer than five (5) business days, the parties will meet to determine if performance under the Agreement can resume as agreed. If the parties cannot agree, then Verkada may terminate the applicable Purchase Order or this Agreement.
If any disputes arise, the parties will first attempt to resolve the dispute informally via good faith negotiation. If the dispute has not been resolved after 30 days, the parties will resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator administered by JAMS, its successors and assigns, in San Mateo County, California, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, and pursuant to its arbitration rules. Each party will be responsible for paying any arbitration fees in accordance with the foregoing rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator may include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of its data security, intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights.
EXHIBIT A
The Service Level Agreement is available at https://www.verkada.com/support/sla/. 79
EXHIBIT B
Alarms Addendum
This “Alarms Addendum” sets forth the terms applicable to Customer’s use of the Monitoring Services (as defined below).
1. Certain Definitions.
a. “Alarm(s)” means an alarm signal, data, video or audio transmission initiated by the Hardware installed on Customer’s premises signaling a specific type of situation that is transmitted to a Call Center for response via the Hosted Software. b. “Call Center(s)” means a central monitoring station that receives and responds to an Alarm for Customer as more fully set forth below.
c. “Call List” means the list of names, with corresponding telephone numbers and email addresses, of those persons in the order Customer wishes to receive notification of Alarms which must be created, and updated by Customer from time to time, via the Hosted Software.
d. “First Responder(s)” means the entity (e.g., fire department, police department) that is contacted by the Call Center to respond to an Alarm received at the Call Center. e. “Monitoring Services” means the automated Alarm transmission functionality enabled by the Software that, when triggered, transmits an Alarm to the Call Center for a response, as more fully described in the Documentation. The Monitoring Services are deemed to be a Product under the Agreement.
2. Monitoring Services.
a. In order to use the Monitoring Services, Customer must: (i) purchase a License for each location at which Monitoring Services will be provided (a “Monitoring License”); and (ii) enable the “Emergency Dispatch” toggle within the Hosted Software, as more fully described in the Documentation.
80
b. For each Alarm transmitted through the Hosted Software, the Call Center will respond in accordance with its internal operating procedures, and only if warranted in the sole discretion of the Call Center. Not all Alarms require notification to First Responders. If the video verification settings are set to 'Normal Mode' (as described in the Documentation), the Call Center may not notify the individuals on the Call List if it is unable to determine a threat to person or property, including because Call Center cannot discern a threat from the video provided or it is unable to access video of the trigger event. Once dispatched, the Call Center may be unable to recall First Responders.
c. In the event of notification to Customer, the Call Center will call the person(s) named in the Call List, in the order set by Customer. Receipt by Customer of any form of notification provided by the Call Center pursuant to the Call List, is deemed compliance with the notification obligation hereunder, which notice may include SMS or voice mail message.
d. If video or audio Alarms are received at the Call Center, the Call Center will monitor such video or sound in accordance with its internal operating procedures, and for so long as the Call Center, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.
3. Customer’s Obligations.
a. Customer (or a properly licensed installer selected by Customer) is responsible for installation (including the design of such installation), maintenance, service, repair, inspection and testing of the Products. Once installed, it is Customer’s responsibility (or a properly licensed installer selected by Customer) to configure its Products in order to enable the Monitoring Services, including by creating and maintaining appropriate Trigger and Response Actions via the Hosted Software (i.e., by creating an “Alarm Address” within Customer’s account in the Hosted Software and configuring it in Customer’s discretion). Monitoring Services will be provided only if the Hardware Products have been configured to transmit Alarms to the Call Center by means of the foregoing.
81
b. Customer is responsible, at Customer’s sole expense, for supplying all systems, and incidental functionality (e.g., high-speed Internet access, IP Address and or wireless services, all 110 Volt AC power), necessary to operate the Products at Customer’s premises.
c. Once delivered, the Hardware Products are in the possession and control of Customer, and it is Customer’s sole responsibility to regularly test the operation of its Products. Verkada does not design installations, install, inspect, maintain, service, repair, or test Products for Customers.
d. Customer is responsible for obtaining and maintaining all licenses, registration and permits for the Products and Monitoring Services, including those required by the Customer’s local government, necessary to use the Products as contemplated under this Alarms Addendum in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
4. Monitoring Services Exclusions.
a. Except for the systems under its control that Verkada uses to make the Hosted Software available, Alarms are transmitted over third party communication networks beyond the control of Verkada and are not maintained by Verkada. Verkada will not be responsible for any failure by such third-party networks which prevents transmission of Alarms from reaching the Call Center or any damages arising therefrom. b. Verkada will have no liability for permit fees, false alarms, false alarm fines, the manner in which First Responders respond, any response delays caused by the First Responders, the failure of First Responders to respond, or the manner in which Alarms are handled by the Call Centers or First Responders.
c. Verkada makes no representation that any aspect of the Products meets code requirements or constitute an alarm system, burglar alarm system, fire alarm system, CCTV system, access control system or other electronic security system, as those terms are defined under the applicable laws of the jurisdictions in which Customer uses the Products.
82
d. Verkada is not a Call Center and does not provide the services of a Call Center.
Verkada does not respond to an Alarm, notify, or attempt to notify the persons named in the Call List, request dispatch of First Responders, or other agents to Customer’s premises to investigate or verify an Alarm. The portion of the Monitoring Services performed by Verkada is strictly limited to Verkada’s automated signal and data retransmission software, receivers, and related components, routing Alarms generated from the Products at Customer’s premise via a third-party network to a Call Center for response. The Customer is not contracting with Verkada to provide the services of the Call Center. Verkada and the Call Center are independent and unrelated entities, and there is no subcontractor, employer or employee, master or servant, joint venture, partnership, or contractual relationship between them.
5. Suspension & Termination.
Verkada may, without prior notice, suspend or terminate the Monitoring Services, in Verkada’s sole discretion, in the event of: (a) a Force Majeure Event which renders any aspect of the Monitoring Services inoperable or impractical; (b) Customer defaults in its performance obligations under the Agreement or use of the Products in a manner that violates any applicable law or any third party right of privacy; (c) Call Center’s facilities or communication networks are nonoperational; (d) Customer causes the Products to transmit excessive false alarms, runaway signals, or otherwise unreasonably overburdens either Verkada’s systems or the Call Center’s systems; or (e) Customer fails to provide accurate information within the Call List or fails to properly update the Call List.
6. No Representations or Warranties.
Verkada makes no representation or warranty, whether express or implied, that the Products including the Monitoring Services will prevent any loss, damage or injury to any person or property, whether by reason of burglary, theft, hold-up, fire or any other cause, or that the Products will in all cases provide the protection for which they are installed or intended. Monitoring Services are not error-free. Verkada is not an insurer, 83
and Customer assumes all risk for loss or damage to Customer’s premises, contents, business interruption, or persons on or around the premises. Customer’s sole remedy for Verkada’s breach of this Exhibit B is to require Verkada to replace the nonoperational Products as set forth in Section 3.2 of the Agreement.
THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS WILL NOT APPLY, IF THE GOVERNING LAW WHERE THE CUSTOMER’S PREMISE IS LOCATED PROHIBITS THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES.
7. Indemnity.
In addition to Section 10.2 of the Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by governing law, Customer will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Verkada Indemnitees from and against any Claim (including reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, fees associated with investigations, or fees or fines relating to permits or false alarms) arising from Customer’s use of the Monitoring Services or its performance, or failure to perform, its obligations under this Exhibit B.
8. Exculpatory Clause.
a. To the fullest extent permitted by governing law, Verkada will not be liable for any loss or damage sustained by Customer caused or contributed by the performance, or failure of performance, of the Monitoring Services under this Exhibit B, even if caused or contributed by any negligence of any kind or degree of the Call Center, Verkada, or any other third-party, except for Verkada’s gross negligence in states that do not permit the exculpation of liability for gross negligence, recklessness and willful misconduct.
b. IN THE EVENT THAT THE EXCULPATORY CLAUSE IS NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER THE GOVERNING LAW WHERE THE CUSTOMER’S PREMISES IS LOCATED, THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY IN SECTION 11 OF THE AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.
9. Insurance.
84
Customer must maintain a policy of General Liability and Property Insurance for liability, casualty, fire, theft, and property damage and, upon request, will ensure that Verkada is named as additional insured, and which shall on a primary and noncontributing basis cover any loss or damage related to Customer’s use of the Products. Customer assumes all potential risk and damage that may arise by reason of failure of the Products, and Customer will look to its own insurance carrier for any loss or assume the risk of loss. Verkada will not be responsible for any portion of any loss or damage which is recovered or recoverable by Customer from insurance covering such loss or damage or for such loss or damage against which Customer is indemnified or insured. Customer and all those claiming rights under Customer policies waive all rights against Verkada and its subcontractors for loss or damages caused by perils intended to be detected by the Products or covered by insurance to be obtained by Customer, except such rights as Customer or others may have to the proceeds of insurance.
10. Conflict Resolution.
In the event of any conflict, discrepancy, or inconsistency between the terms of the Agreement and this Exhibit B, the terms of this Exhibit B will govern and control. 85

If the requested PHI is maintained electronically, Business Associate shall provide a copy of the PHI in the electronic form and format requested by the individual, if it is readily producible, or, if not, in a readable electronic form and format as agreed to by Covered Entity and the individual. In the event that any individual requests access to PHI directly from Business Associate, Business Associate shall within ten (10) days forward such request to Covered Entity. Any denials of access to the PHI requested shall be the responsibility of Covered Entity.

Within twenty (20) days of notice by Covered Entity to Business Associate that it has received a request for an accounting of disclosures of PHI, Business Associate shall make available to Covered Entity, or the individual (if requested by Covered Entity), the information required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 7. In the event the request for an accounting is delivered directly to Business Associate, Business Associate shall within ten (10) days forward such request to Covered Entity.
8. Accountings. At Covered Entity’s or HHS’ request, Business Associate shall make its internal practices, books and records relating to the use and disclosure of PHI available to HHS for purposes of determining compliance with the HIPAA Regulations.
9. Permitted Uses and Disclosures. Business Associate is not authorized to use or disclose PHI in a manner that would violate the HIPAA Regulations if done by Covered Entity, provided that Business Associate may:

If Business Associate conducts standard transactions (as defined in the HIPAA Regulations) for or on behalf of Covered Entity, Business Associate will comply and will require by written contract each agent or contractor (including any subcontractor) involved with the conduct of such standard transactions to comply, with each applicable requirement of the HIPAA Regulations.
Business Associate will not enter into, or permit its agents or contractors (including subcontractors) to enter into, any trading partner agreement in connection with the conduct of standard transactions for or on behalf of Covered Entity that: (i) changes the definition, data condition, or use of a data element or segment in a standard transaction; (ii) adds any data elements or segments to the maximum defined data set; (iii) uses any code or data element that is marked “not used” in the standard transaction’s implementation specification or is not in the standard transaction’s implementation specification; or (iv) changes the meaning or intent of the standard transaction’s implementation specification. Business Associate agrees to participate in any test modification conducted by Covered Entity in accordance with the HIPAA Regulations.
11. Term and Termination. This Agreement shall remain in effect until the Service Agreement is terminated or expires. Either party may terminate this Agreement and the Service Agreement effective immediately if it determines that the other party has breached a material provision of this Agreement and failed to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of being notified by the other party of the breach.

12. Limitation of Liability. Business Associate’s obligations under this Agreement shall be subject to any limitations of liability set forth in the Service Agreement. 90
13. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, Business Associate agrees to either return or destroy, at no cost to Covered Entity, all PHI that Business Associate still maintains in any form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that it is not feasible to return or destroy such PHI, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement, and Business Associate shall only use or disclose such PHI solely for such purpose or purposes which prevented the return or destruction of such PHI.
14. Miscellaneous. Business Associate’s liability under this Agreement shall be subject to any limitations of liability set forth in any master service or end user agreement entered into between the parties in connection with Covered Entity’s purchase of goods and/or services from Business Associate. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any rights or remedies in any third parties or any agency relationship between the parties. To the extent Business Associate is acting as a business associate under the HIPAA Regulations, Business Associate shall be subject to the penalty provisions specified in HITECH. Upon the effective date of any final regulation or amendment to final regulations promulgated by HHS with respect to PHI, this Agreement will be deemed to be automatically amended such that the obligations imposed on the parties remain in compliance with such regulations. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall override and control any conflicting term or condition of any agreement between the parties with respect to the Services Agreement.

Unless prohibited by applicable law, Verkada will notify Customer if, in its opinion, an instruction infringes any Data Protection Law to which it is subject, in which case Verkada will be entitled to suspend performance of such instruction without any kind of liability towards the Customer, until Customer confirms in writing that such instruction is valid under such Data Protection Law. Any additional instructions regarding the manner in which Verkada Processes the
Personal Data will require prior written agreement between Verkada and Customer.

provide an adequate level of data protection under applicable Data Protection Laws.
ii. Transfers to other third countries. If the Processing of Personal Data includes transfers from EEA/EU Member

Verkada may execute relevant contractual addenda, including as relevant the EU SCCs (Module 3) with any relevant Subprocessor (as hereinafter defined, including Affiliates). Unless Verkada notifies Customer to the contrary, if the European Commission subsequently amends the EU SCCs at a later date, such amended terms will supersede and replace any EU SCCs executed between the parties.
e. Alternative Data Export Solution. The parties agree that the data export solutions identified in this Section 4 will not apply if and to the extent that Customer adopts an alternative data export solution for the lawful transfer of Personal Data (as recognized under applicable Data Protection Laws), in which event, Customer shall reasonably cooperate with Verkada to implement such solution and such alternative data export solution will apply instead (but solely to the extent such alternative data export solution extends to the territories to which Personal Data is transferred under this Addendum). f. Customer shall be responsible for obligations corresponding to Data 98
Controllers under Data Protection Laws
5. Technical and Organizational Measures. Verkada will implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security of Personal Data appropriate to the risk, as further described in Annex II to this Addendum. In assessing the appropriate level of security, Verkada will take into account the risks that are presented by Processing, in particular from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Personal Data transmitted, stored or otherwise Processed.
6. Data Subjects rights. Verkada will assist Customer in responding to Data Subjects’ requests exercising their rights under the Data Protection Laws. To that effect, Verkada will (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly notify Customer of any request received directly from Data Subjects to access, correct or delete its Personal Data without responding to that request, and (ii) upon written request from Customer, provide Customer with information that Verkada has available to reasonably assist Customer in fulfilling its obligations to respond to Data Subjects exercising their rights under the Data Protection Laws.

If required under Data Protection Laws, Verkada will provide reasonable assistance to Customer in the cooperation or prior consultation with Data Protection Authorities in relation to any applicable Data Protection Impact Assessment.
8. Audit of Technical and Organizational Measures. Verkada will make available all information necessary to demonstrate its compliance with data protection 99
policies and procedures implemented as part of the Products. To this end, upon written request (not more than once annually) Customer may, at its sole cost and expense, verify Verkada’s compliance with its data protection obligations as specified in this Addendum by: (i) submitting a security assessment questionnaire to Verkada; and (ii) if Customer is not satisfied with Verkada’s responses to the questionnaire, then Customer may conduct an audit in the form of meetings with Verkada’s information security experts upon a mutually agreeable date. Such interviews will be conducted with a minimum of disruption to Verkada’s normal business operations and subject always to Verkada’s agreement on scope and timings. Such audit will be performed during normal business hours, in such a manner as not to unreasonably disrupt normal business operations, and in no event will take place over the course of more than two business days. The Customer may perform the verification described above by itself or through a mutually agreed upon third party auditor, so long as Customer or its authorized auditor executes a mutually agreed upon non-disclosure agreement. Customer will be responsible for any actions taken by its authorized auditor. All information disclosed by Verkada under this Section 8 will be deemed Verkada’s Confidential Information, and Customer will not disclose any audit report to any third party except as obligated by law, court order or administrative order by a government agency. Verkada will remediate any mutually agreed, material deficiencies in its technical and organizational measures identified by the audit procedures described in this Section 8 within a mutually agreeable timeframe.
9. Breach notification. If Verkada becomes aware of a Data Breach, then Verkada will notify the Customer without undue delay after becoming aware of such Data Breach, will co-operate with the Customer, and will take commercially reasonable steps to investigate, mitigate, and remediate such 100
Data Breach. Verkada will provide all reasonably required support and cooperation necessary to enable Customer to comply with its legal obligations pursuant applicable Data Protection Laws.
10. Sub-processing.
a. Customer agrees that Verkada may engage either Verkada affiliated companies or third-party providers as sub-Processors under the Agreement and this Addendum (“Subprocessors”) and hereby authorizes Verkada to engage such Subprocessors in providing the Products to Customer. Verkada will restrict the Processing activities performed by Subprocessors to only what is necessary to provide the Products to Customer pursuant to the Agreement and this Addendum. Verkada will impose appropriate contractual obligations in writing upon the Subprocessors that are no less protective than this Addendum.
b. Verkada maintains an updated list of all Subprocessors used by Verkada which is available upon written request. Verkada may amend the list of Subprocessors by adding or replacing Subprocessors at any time. Customer will be entitled to object to a new Subprocessor by notifying Verkada in writing the reasons of its objection. Verkada will work in good faith to address Customer’s objections. If Verkada is unable or unwilling to adequately address Customer’s objections to Customer’s reasonable satisfaction, then Customer may terminate this Addendum and the Agreement in accordance with Section 6.2 of the Agreement.
11. Return or Deletion of Personal Data. Verkada will delete or return, in Customer’s discretion, Personal Data within a reasonable period of time following the termination or expiration of the Agreement following written request from Customer unless otherwise required by applicable Data 101
Protection Laws.
12. Termination. This Addendum shall automatically terminate upon the termination or expiration of the Agreement. Sections 3(b), 3(c)(iii), and 14 of this Addendum shall survive the termination or expiration of this Addendum for any reason. This Addendum cannot, in principle, be terminated separately to the Agreement, except where the Processing ends before the termination of the Agreement, in which case, this Addendum shall automatically terminate.
13. Governing Law. This Addendum shall be governed by and construed in accordance with governing law and jurisdiction provisions in the Agreement, unless required otherwise by applicable Data Protection Laws. For the purposes of Clauses 17 and 18 of the EU SCCs, where applicable, to the extent that the governing law and jurisdiction provisions in the Agreement do not meet the requirements of the EU SCCs, the parties select Option 2 of Clause 17, and agree that the EU SCCs shall be governed by the law of the EU Member State in which the data exporter is established; where such law does not allow for third-party beneficiary rights, the EU SCCs shall be governed by the laws of the country of Ireland. Pursuant to Clause 18, any dispute between the Parties arising from the EU SCCs shall be resolved by the courts of Ireland, and the Parties submit themselves to such jurisdiction. For the purposes of Clause 13 of the GDPR, the Supervisory Authority shall be the data exporter’s applicable Supervisory Authority. Data exporter shall notify data importer of the applicable Supervisory Authority by email at [email protected] and shall provide any necessary updates without undue delay.
14. Entire Agreement; Conflict. Except as amended by this Addendum, the Agreement will remain in full force and effect. If there is a conflict between the Agreement and this Addendum as to the subject matter herein, the terms of this Addendum will control.

FEMA AND ADDITIONAL FEDERAL FUNDING SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Awarded Supplier(s) (also referred to as Contractors) may need to respond to events and losses where products and services are needed for the immediate and initial response to emergency situations such as, but not limited to, water damage, fire damage, vandalism cleanup, biohazard cleanup, sewage decontamination, deodorization, and/or wind damage during a disaster or emergency situation. By submitting a proposal, the Supplier is accepted these FEMA and Additional Federal Funding Special Conditions required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other federal entities. “Contract” in the below pages under FEMA AND ADDITIONAL FEDERAL FUNDING SPECIAL CONDITIONS is also referred to and defined as the “Master Agreement”. “Contractor” in the below pages under FEMA AND ADDITIONAL FEDERAL FUNDING SPECIAL CONDITIONS is also referred to and defined as “Supplier” or “Awarded Supplier”.
Conflicts of Interest
No employee, officer, or agent may participate in the selection, award, or administration of a contract supported by a FEMA award if he or she has a real or apparent conflict of interest. Such a conflict would arise when the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of these parties, has a financial or other interest in or a tangible personal benefit from a firm considered for award. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1); See also Standard Form 424D, ¶ 7; Standard Form 424B, ¶ 3. i. FEMA considers a “financial interest” to be the potential for gain or loss to the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of these parties as a result of the particular procurement. The prohibited financial interest may arise from ownership of certain financial instruments or investments such as stock, bonds, or real estate, or from a salary, indebtedness, job offer, or similar interest that might be affected by the particular procurement. ii. FEMA considers an “apparent” conflict of interest to exist where an actual conflict does not exist, but where a reasonable person with knowledge of the relevant facts would question the impartiality of the employee, officer, or agent participating in the procurement. c. Gifts. The officers, employees, and agents of the Participating Public Agency nor the Participating Public Agency (“NFE”) must neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from contractors or parties to subcontracts. However, NFE’s may set standards for situations in which the financial interest is de minimus, not substantial, or the gift is an unsolicited item of nominal value. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1). d. Violations. The NFE’s written standards of conduct must provide for disciplinary actions to be applied for violations of such standards by officers, employees, or agents of the NFE. 2 C.F.R. § 200.318(c)(1). For example, the penalty for a NFE’s employee may be dismissal, and the penalty for a contractor might be the termination of the contract.
Contractor Integrity
A contractor must have a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics. Contractors that are debarred or suspended, as described in and subject to the debarment and suspension regulations implementing Executive Order 12549, Debarment and Suspension (1986) and Executive Order 12689, Debarment and Suspension (1989) at 2 C.F.R. Part 180 and the Department of Homeland Security’s regulations at 2 C.F.R.
Part 3000 (Non-procurement Debarment and Suspension), must be rejected and cannot receive contract awards at any level.
Notice of Legal Matters Affecting the Federal Government In the event FTA or DOT funding is used by Participating Public Agency, Contractor agrees to:

2 C.F.R. § 200.326 and 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II, Required Contract Clauses
1. CONTRACT REMEDIES
Contracts for more than the federal simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), the dollar amount below which an NFE may purchase property or services using small purchase methods, currently set at $250,000 for procurements made on or after June 20, 2018,4 must address administrative, contractual, or legal remedies in instances where contractors violate or breach contract terms and must provide for sanctions and penalties as appropriate.
Docusign Envelope ID: F503A304-711D-46D8-8A83-7B285AA86658 129
Version June 26, 2024
1.1 Applicability
This contract provision is required for contracts over the SAT, currently set at $250,000 for procurements made on or after June 20, 2018. Although not required for contracts at or below the SAT, FEMA suggests including a remedies provision.
1.2 Additional Considerations
For FEMA’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program, recipients must include a penalty clause in all contracts for any AFG-funded vehicle, regardless of dollar amount. In that situation, the contract must include a clause addressing that non-delivery by the contract’s specified date or other vendor nonperformance will require a penalty of no less than $100 per day until such time that the vehicle, compliant with the terms of the contract, has been accepted by the recipient. This penalty clause should, however, account for force majeure or acts of God. AFG recipients should refer to the applicable year’s Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for additional information, which can be accessed at FEMA.gov.
2. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE AND CONVENIENCE
a. Standard. All contracts in excess of $10,000 must address termination for cause and for convenience by the non-Federal entity, including the manner by which it will be effected and the basis for settlement. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II(B). b. Applicability. This requirement applies to all FEMA grant and cooperative agreement programs.
3. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
When applicable:
a. Standard. Except as otherwise provided under 41 C.F.R. Part 60, all contracts that meet the definition of “federally assisted construction contract” in 41 C.F.R. § 60-1.3 must include the equal opportunity clause provided under 41 C.F.R. § 60- 1.4(b), in accordance with Executive Order 11246, Equal Employment Opportunity (30 Fed.

Version June 26, 2024
loan, insurance, or guarantee under which the applicant itself participates in the construction work.
ii. Construction Work. The regulation at 41 C.F.R. § 60-1.3 defines “construction work” as the construction, rehabilitation, alteration, conversion, extension, demolition or repair of buildings, highways, or other changes or improvements to real property, including facilities providing utility services. The term also includes the supervision, inspection, and other onsite functions incidental to the actual construction. c. Applicability.

During the performance of this contract, the contractor agrees as follows:
(1) The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following:
Employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.
(2) The contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
(3) The contractor will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired about, discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant. This provision shall not apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the contractor's legal duty to furnish information.
(4) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the contractor's commitments under this section and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment.

(6) The contractor will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders. (7) In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.

The contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance:
Provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency, the contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
The applicant further agrees that it will be bound by the above equal opportunity clause with respect to its own employment practices when it participates in federally assisted construction work: Provided, That if the applicant so participating is a State or local government, the above equal opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency, instrumentality or subdivision of such government which does not participate in work on or under the contract.
The applicant agrees that it will assist and cooperate actively with the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor in obtaining the compliance of contractors and subcontractors with the equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor, that it will furnish the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor such information as they may require for the supervision of such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the administering agency in the discharge of the agency's primary responsibility for securing compliance.
The applicant further agrees that it will refrain from entering into any contract or contract modification subject to Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, with a contractor debarred from, or who has not demonstrated eligibility for, Government contracts and federally assisted construction contracts pursuant to the Executive Order and will carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of the equal opportunity clause as may be imposed upon contractors and subcontractors by the administering agency or the Secretary of Labor pursuant to Part II, Subpart D of the Executive Order. In addition, the Docusign Envelope ID: F503A304-711D-46D8-8A83-7B285AA86658 132

b. Applicability. This requirement applies to all FEMA contracts awarded by the non- federal entity in excess of $100,000 under grant and cooperative agreement programs that involve the employment of mechanics or laborers. It is applicable to construction work. These requirements do not apply to the purchase of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence.
c. Suggested Language. The regulation at 29 C.F.R. § 5.5(b) provides contract clause language concerning compliance with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. FEMA suggests including the following contract clause:
Compliance with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. (1) Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor contracting for any part of the contract work which may require or involve the employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed on such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of forty hours in such workweek.

Version June 26, 2024
$27 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of this section. (3) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages. The Federal agency or loan/grant recipient shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any moneys payable on account of work performed by the contractor or subcontractor under any such contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in paragraph (b)(2) of this section.

The prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with the clauses set forth in paragraphs (b)(1) through (4) of this section.
7. RIGHTS TO INVENTIONS MADE UNDER A CONTRACT OR AGREEMENT a. Standard. If the FEMA award meets the definition of “funding agreement” under 37C.F.R. § 401.2(a) and the non-Federal entity wishes to enter into a contract with a small business firm or nonprofit organization regarding the substitution of parties, assignment or performance of experimental, developmental, or research work under that “funding agreement,” the non- Federal entity must comply with the requirements of 37 C.F.R. Part 401 (Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and Cooperative Agreements), and any implementing regulations issued by FEMA. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II(F). b. Applicability. This requirement applies to “funding agreements,” but it DOES NOT apply to the Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Fire Management Assistance Grant Program, Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Grant Program, Disaster Case Management Grant Program, and Federal Assistance to Individuals and Households – Other Needs Assistance Grant Program, as FEMA awards under these programs do not meet the definition of “funding agreement.”
c. Funding Agreements Definition. The regulation at 37 C.F.R. § 401.2(a) defines “funding agreement” as any contract, grant, or cooperative agreement entered into between any Federal agency, other than the Tennessee Valley Authority, and any contractor for the performance of experimental, developmental, or research work funded in whole or in part by the Federal government. This term also includes any assignment, substitution of parties, or subcontract of any type entered into for the performance of experimental, developmental, or research work under a funding agreement as defined in the first sentence of this paragraph.
8. CLEAN AIR ACT AND THE FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT a. Standard.

Version June 26, 2024
as amended (33 U.S.C. §§ 1251-1387). Violations must be reported to FEMA and the Regional Office of the Environmental Protection Agency. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II(G).
b. Applicability. This requirement applies to contracts awarded by a non-federal entity of amounts in excess of $150,000 under a federal grant.
c. Suggested Language. The following provides a sample contract clause.
Clean Air Act
1. The contractor agrees to comply with all applicable standards, orders or regulations issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 7401 et seq.
2. The contractor agrees to report each violation to the Participating Public Agency and understands and agrees that the Participating Public Agency will, in turn, report each violation as required to assure notification to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the appropriate Environmental Protection Agency Regional Office.
3. The contractor agrees to include these requirements in each subcontract exceeding $150,000 financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FEMA.
Federal Water Pollution Control Act

2. The contractor agrees to report each violation to the Participating Public Agency and understands and agrees that the Participating Public Agency will, in turn, report each violation as required to assure notification to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the appropriate Environmental Protection Agency Regional Office.
3. The contractor agrees to include these requirements in each subcontract exceeding $150,000 financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FEMA.

Version June 26, 2024
agreement programs.
c. Requirements.
i. These regulations restrict awards, subawards, and contracts with certain parties that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal assistance programs and activities. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II(H); and 2 C.F.R. § 200.213. A contract award must not be made to parties listed in the SAM Exclusions. SAM Exclusions is the list maintained by the General Services Administration that contains the names of parties debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded by agencies, as well as parties declared ineligible under statutory or regulatory authority other than Executive Order 12549.
SAM exclusions can be accessed at www.sam.gov. See 2 C.F.R. § 180.530. ii. In general, an “excluded” party cannot receive a Federal grant award or a contract within the meaning of a “covered transaction,” to include subawards and subcontracts. This includes parties that receive Federal funding indirectly, such as contractors to recipients and subrecipients. The key to the exclusion is whether there is a “covered transaction,” which is any non-procurement transaction (unless excepted) at either a “primary” or “secondary” tier. Although “covered transactions” do not include contracts awarded by the Federal Government for purposes of the non-procurement common rule and DHS’s implementing regulations, it does include some contracts awarded by recipients and subrecipients.
iii. Specifically, a covered transaction includes the following contracts for goods or services:
1. The contract is awarded by a recipient or subrecipient in the amount of at least $25,000.
2. The contract requires the approval of FEMA, regardless of amount.
3. The contract is for federally-required audit services.
4. A subcontract is also a covered transaction if it is awarded by the contractor of a recipient or subrecipient and requires either the approval of FEMA or is in excess of $25,000.
d. Suggested Language. The following provides a debarment and suspension clause. It incorporates an optional method of verifying that contractors are not excluded or disqualified.
Suspension and Debarment
(1) This contract is a covered transaction for purposes of 2 C.F.R. pt. 180 and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000. As such, the contractor is required to verify that none of the contractor’s principals (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.995) or its affiliates (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.905) are excluded (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.940) or disqualified (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.935).
(2) The contractor must comply with 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, Docusign Envelope ID: F503A304-711D-46D8-8A83-7B285AA86658 138
Version June 26, 2024
subpart C, and must include a requirement to comply with these regulations in any lower tier covered transaction it enters into.
(3) This certification is a material representation of fact relied upon by the Participating Public Agency. If it is later determined that the contractor did not comply with 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C, in addition to remedies available to the Participating Public Agency, the Federal Government may pursue available remedies, including but not limited to suspension and/or debarment. (4) The bidder or proposer agrees to comply with the requirements of 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C while this offer is valid and throughout the period of any contract that may arise from this offer. The bidder or proposer further agrees to include a provision requiring such compliance in its lower tier covered transactions.

C. 271 POLITICAL CONTRIBUTION DISCLOSURE FORM
Public Agency Instructions
This page provides guidance to public agencies entering into contracts with business entities that are required to file Political Contribution Disclosure forms with the agency. It is not intended to be provided to contractors. What follows are instructions on the use of form local units can provide to contractors that are required to disclose political contributions pursuant to N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.26 (P.L. 2005, c. 271, s.2). Additional information on the process is available in Local Finance Notice 2006-1 (http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/resources/lfns 2006.html). Please refer back to these instructions for the appropriate links, as the Local Finance Notices include links that are no longer operational.
1. The disclosure is required for all contracts in excess of $17,500 that are not awarded pursuant to a “fair and open” process (N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.7).
2. Due to the potential length of some contractor submissions, the public agency should consider allowing data to be submitted in electronic form (i.e., spreadsheet, pdf file, etc.). Submissions must be kept with the contract documents or in an appropriate computer file and be available for public access. The form is worded to accept this alternate submission.
The text should be amended if electronic submission will not be allowed.
3. The submission must be received from the contractor and on file at least 10 days prior to award of the contract. Resolutions of award should reflect that the disclosure has been received and is on file.
4. The contractor must disclose contributions made to candidate and party committees covering a wide range of public agencies, including all public agencies that have elected officials in the county of the public agency, state legislative positions, and various state entities. The Division of Local Government Services recommends that contractors be provided a list of the affected agencies. This will assist contractors in determining the campaign and political committees of the officials and candidates affected by the disclosure.
a. The Division has prepared model disclosure forms for each county. They can be downloaded from the “County PCD Forms” link on the Pay-to-Play web site at http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/programs/lpcl.html#12. They will be updated from time-to-time as necessary.
b. A public agency using these forms should edit them to properly reflect the correct legislative district(s). As the forms are county-based, they list all legislative districts in each county. Districts that do not represent the public agency should be removed from the lists.
c. Some contractors may find it easier to provide a single list that covers all contributions, regardless of the county. These submissions are appropriate and should be accepted.
d. The form may be used “as-is”, subject to edits as described herein. e. The “Contractor Instructions” sheet is intended to be provided with the form. It is recommended that the Instructions and the form be printed on the same piece of paper. The form notes that the Instructions are printed on the back of the form; where that is not the case, the text should be edited accordingly. f. The form is a Word document and can be edited to meet local needs, and posted for download on web sites, used as an e-mail attachment, or provided as a printed document.
5. It is recommended that the contractor also complete a “Stockholder Disclosure Certification.” This will assist the local unit in its obligation to ensure that contractor did not make any prohibited contributions to the committees listed on the Business Entity Disclosure Certification in the 12 months prior to the contract (See Local Finance Notice 2006-7 for additional information on this obligation at http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/resources/lfns 2006.html).

The procurement of the professional services of any architect, landscape architect, engineer, artist, environmental consultant, land surveyor, construction project manager, accountant, appraiser, financial advisor, attorney, or other provider of professional services involving a high degree of technical or individual skill shall be based on demonstrated competence, the professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of the required services, and a fair and reasonable price, after notice to a number of potential offerors adequate to permit reasonable competition consistent with the nature and requirements of the procurement. Offerors shall provide evidence that the person or firm carrying out contract responsibilities possesses the expertise and experience to perform the requisite professional services. The contract file shall contain a written summary of the basis on which notice to potential offerors was given and on which the award was made.

In addition, the city council may nominate and by majority vote, may appoint a member of city council to serve on the selection committee for the term specified by the council.
6. Selection Method. A design-build competition based on performance, specifications and criteria set forth by the city in the request for proposals. a. Criteria used may include, but not be limited to:
i. An evaluation of overall quality, capability, resource availability and financial stability of the firm.
