<br />tracking of federal COVID funds, and any policies or procedure implemented by the RDA
<br />and/or the IEDC for administration of READI. All such materials required thereby to be
<br />included herein are hereby incorporated by reference. The enactment or modification of
<br />any applicable state or federal statute or the promulgation of rules or regulations thereunder
<br />after execution of this Agreement shall be reviewed by the RDA to determine whether the
<br />provisions of this Agreement require formal modification.
<br />B.Grantee and its agents shall abide by all ethical requirements that apply to
<br />persons who have a business relationship with the State of Indiana as set forth in IC § 4-2-
<br />6, et seq., IC § 4-2-7, et seq. and the regulations promulgated thereunder. If Grantee has
<br />knowledge, or would have acquired knowledge with reasonable inquiry, that a state
<br />officer, employee, or special state appointee, as those terms are defined in IC 4-2-6-1,
<br />has a financial interest in Project Funds, Grantee shall ensure compliance with the
<br />disclosure requirements in IC § 4-2-6-10.5 prior to the execution of this Agreement.
<br />If Grantee is not familiar with these ethical requirements, Grantee should refer any
<br />questions to the Indiana State Ethics Commission or visit the Indiana Inspector General’s
<br />website at http://www.in.gov/ig/. If Grantee or its agents violate any applicable ethical
<br />standards, the RDA may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement immediately upon
<br />notice to Grantee. In addition, Grantee may be subject to penalties under IC §§ 4-2-6, 4- 2-
<br />7, 35-44.1-1-4, and under any other applicable laws, all as amended from time to time.
<br />C.Grantee certifies by entering into this Agreement that, to the best of its
<br />knowledge, it is not presently in arrears in payment of taxes, permit fees or other statutory,
<br />regulatory, or judicially required payments to the State of Indiana.
<br />D.Grantee warrants that, to the best of its knowledge, it has no current,
<br />pending or outstanding criminal, civil, or enforcement actions initiated by the State of
<br />Indiana, and agrees that it will immediately notify the RDA of any such actions. During
<br />the term of such actions, Grantee agrees that the RDA may suspend funding for the Project.
<br />E.Grantee warrants that, to the best of its knowledge, Grantee and any
<br />contractors performing work in connection with the Project shall obtain and maintain all
<br />required permits, licenses, registrations, and approvals, and shall comply with all health,
<br />safety, and environmental statutes, rules, and regulations in the performance of work
<br />activities for the State of Indiana. Failure to do so may be deemed a material breach of this
<br />Agreement and grounds for immediate termination and denial of grant opportunities with
<br />the State of Indiana.
<br />F.Grantee affirms that, if it is an entity described in Indiana Code Title 23, it
<br />is properly registered and owes no outstanding reports to the Indiana Secretary of State.
<br />G.If the RDA is asked by the IEDC or the SBA or any agency or
<br />instrumentality of the Federal government to repay any Grant funds that the RDA has
<br />disbursed to Grantee, Grantee shall, within fifteen (15) days of notice of such demand,
<br />reimburse those funds to the RDA.
<br />H. As required by IC § 5-22-3-7, as amended from time to time:
