The CONSULTANT affirms under the penalties of perjury that he/she/it does not knowingly employ an unauthorized alien. The CONSULTANT shall enroll in and verify the work eligibility status of all his/her/its newly hired employees through the E-Verify program as defined in IC 22-5-1.7-3. The CONSULTANT is not required to participate should the E-Verify program cease to exist. Additionally, the CONSULTANT is not required to participate if the CONSULTANT is self-employed and does not employ any employees. The CONSULTANT shall not knowingly employ or contract with an unauthorized alien. The CONSULTANT shall not retain an employee or contract with a person that the CONSULTANT subsequently learns is an unauthorized alien. The CONSULTANT shall require his/her/its subcontractors, who perform work under this Contract, to certify to the CONSULTANT that the SUB-CONSULTANT does not knowingly employ or contract with an unauthorized alien and that the SUB-CONSULTANT has enrolled and is participating in the E-Verify program. The CONSULTANT agrees to maintain this certification throughout the duration of the term of a contract with a SUB-CONSULTANT. The LPA may terminate for default if the CONSULTANT fails to cure a breach of this provision no later than thirty (30) days after being notified by the LPA. 16. Force Majeure. In the event that either party is unable to perform any of its obligations under this Contract or to enjoy any of its benefits because of fire, natural disaster, acts of God, acts of war, terrorism, civil disorders, decrees of governmental bodies, strikes, lockouts, labor or supply disruptions or similar causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected party (hereinafter referred to as a Force Majeure Event), the party who has been so affected shall immediately give written notice to the other party of the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event (with a description in reasonable detail of the circumstances causing such Event) and shall do everything reasonably possible to resume performance. Upon receipt of such written notice, all obligations under this Contract shall be immediately suspended for as long as such Force Majeure Event continues and provided that the affected party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay. If the period of nonperformance exceeds thirty (30) days from the receipt of written notice of the Force Majeure Event, the party whose ability to perform has not been so affected may, by giving written notice, terminate this Contract. 9
