upon the continuing availability of such funds. Payments pursuant to this Grant shall be made only
from available funds encumbered for this Grant and the State's liability for such payments shall be

beginning on the 46th day at a rate not to exceed one percent per month until paid in full; provided,
however, that interest shall not accrue on unpaid amounts that are subject to a good faith dispute.
Grantee shall invoice the State separately for accrued interest on delinquent amounts. The billing

that the State has requested from the Subrecipient, then the Subrecipient may be prohibited from
applying for new Federal Awards through the State until such documentation has been submitted and
accepted.
viii. Erroneous Payments

disallow costs and recover funds on the basis of a later audit or other review. Any cost disallowance
recovery is to be made within the record retention period.

15. REMEDIES
If Grantee is in breach under any provision of this Grant, the State shall have all of the remedies listed in this
§15 in addition to all other remedies set forth in other sections of this Grant following the notice and cure period
set forth in §14(B), provided however, that the State may terminate this Grant pursuant to §15(B) without a
breach. The State may exercise any or all of the remedies available to it, in its sole discretion, concurrently or
consecutively.
A. Termination for Cause and/or Breach
If Grantee fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder with such diligence as is required to ensure its
completion in accordance with the provisions of this Grant and in a timely manner, the State may notify
Grantee of such non-performance in accordance with the provisions herein. If Grantee thereafter fails to
promptly cure such non-performance within the cure period, the State, at its option, may terminate this
entire Grant or such part of this Grant as to which there has been delay or a failure to properly perform.
Exercise by the State of this right shall not be deemed a breach of its obligations hereunder. Grantee shall
continue performance of this Grant to the extent not terminated, if any.
L Obligations and Rights
To the extent specified in any termination notice, Grantee shall not incur further obligations or
render further performance hereunder past the effective date of such notice, and shall terminate
outstanding orders and subcontracts with third parties. However, Grantee shall complete and deliver
to the State all Work, Services and Goods not cancelled by the termination notice and may incur
obligations as are necessary to do so within this Grant's terms. At the sole discretion of the State,
Grantee shall assign to the State all of Grantee's right, title, and interest under such terminated orders
or subgrants. Upon termination, Grantee shall take timely, reasonable and necessary action to protect

State's property.
ii. Payments
The State shall reimburse Grantee only for accepted performance up to the date of termination. If,
after termination by the State, it is determined that Grantee was not in breach or that Grantee's action
or inaction was excusable, such termination shall be treated as a termination in the public interest
and the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be the same as if this Grant had been terminated in
the public interest, as described herein.
iii. Damages and Withholding
Notwithstanding any other remedial action by the State, Grantee also shall remain liable to the State
for any damages sustained by the State by virtue of any breach under this Grant by Grantee and the
State may withhold any payment to Grantee for the purpose of mitigating the State's damages, until
such time as the exact amount of damages due to the State from Grantee is determined. The State
may withhold any amount that may be due to Grantee as the State deems necessary to protect the
State, including loss as a result of outstanding liens or claims of former lien holders, or to reimburse
the State for the excess costs incurred in procuring similar goods or services. Grantee shall be liable
for excess costs incurred by the State in procuring from third parties replacerhent Work, Services or
substitute Goods as cover.
B. Early Termination in the Public Interest
The State is entering into this Grant for the purpose of carrying out the public policy of the State of
Colorado, as determined by its Governor, General Assembly, and/or courts. If this Grant ceases to further
the public policy of the State, the State, in its sole discretion, may terminate this Grant in whole or in part.
Exercise by the State of this right shall not constitute a breach of the State's obligations hereunder. This
subsection shall not apply to a termination of this Grant by the State for cause or breach by Grantee, which
shall be governed by §15(A) or as otherwise specifically provided for herein.
L Method and Content
The State shall notify Grantee of such termination in accordance with §16. The notice shall specify
the effective date of the termination and whether it affects all or a portion of this Grant.

obligations and rights set forth in §15(A)(i).
iii. Payments

which bears the same ratio to the total reimbursement under this Grant as the Services satisfactorily
performed bear to the total Services covered by this Grant, less payments previously made.
Additionally, if this Grant is less than 60% completed, the State may reimburse Grantee for a portion
of actual out-of-pocket expenses (not otherwise reimbursed under this Grant) incurred by Grantee
which are directly attributable to the uncompleted portion of Grantee's obligations hereunder;
provided that the sum of any and all reimbursement shall not exceed the maximum amount payable
to Grantee hereunder.
C. Remedies Not Involving Termination
The State, in its sole discretion, may exercise one or more of the following remedies in addition to other
remedies available to it:

suspension of performance under this provision.
ii. Withhold Payment
Withhold payment to Grantee until corrections in Grantee's performance are satisfactorily made and
completed.
iii. Deny Payment
Deny payment for those obligations not performed, that due to Grantee's actions or inactions, cannot
be performed or, if performed, would be of no value to the State; provided, that any denial of
payment shall be reasonably related to the value to the State of the obligations not performed.
iv. Removal
Demand removal of any of Grantee's employees, agents, or Subgrantees whom the State deems
incompetent, careless, insubordinate, unsuitable, or otherwise unacceptable, or whose continued
relation to this Grant is deemed to be contrary to the public interest or not in the State's best interest.
v. Intellectual Property
If Grantee infringes on a patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right while
performing its obligations under this Grant, Grantee shall, at the State's option (a) obtain for the State or
Grantee the right to use such products and services; (b) replace any Goods, Services, or other product
involved with non -infringing products or modify them so that they become non -infringing; or, (c) if neither

Federal awarding agency and other non -Federal entities to improve program outcomes.

milestones (200.210). Also, must require the recipient to relate financial data to performance
accomplishments of the Federal award.

a. Justification. After providing written notice to the Grantee, the Grantee agrees that the Federal Government may
suspend, suspend then terminate, or terminate all or any part of the federal assistance for the Award if.
(1) The Grantee has failed to make reasonable progress implementing the Award,
(2) The Federal Government determines that continuing to provide federal assistance to support the Award
does not adequately serve the purposes of the law authorizing the Award, or
(3) The Grantee has violated the terms of the Agreement, especially if that violation would endanger
substantial performance of the Agreement.

obligations properly incurred before the termination date to the extent that the obligations cannot be canceled.

assistance for obligations properly incurred before the termination date if it determines that the Grantee has
misused its federal assistance by failing to make adequate progress, failing to make appropriate use of the
Project property, or failing to comply with the Agreement, and require the Grantee to refund the entire amount
or a lesser amount, as the Federal Government may determine including obligations properly incurred before
the termination date.
c. Expiration of the Period of Performance. Except for a Full Funding Grant Agreement, expiration of any period
of performance established for the Award does not, by itself, constitute an expiration or termination of the

each Project or related activities funded with "no year" funds can receive FTA assistance to the extent FTA
deems appropriate.

priority over any other claim of exclusive copyright to the same.
d. Special Federal Rights in Data for Research, Development, Demonstration, Deployment, Technical Assistance,
and Special Studies Programs. In general, FTA's purpose in providing federal assistance for a research,
development, demonstration, deployment, technical assistance, or special studies program is to increase
transportation knowledge, rather than limit the benefits of the Award to the Grantee and its Third Party
Participants. Therefore, the Grantee agrees that:
(1) Publicly Available Report. When an Award providing federal assistance for any of the programs described
above is completed, it must provide a report of the Agreement that FTA may publish or make available for
publication on the Internet.
(2) Other Reports. It must provide other reports related to the Award that FTA may request.
(3) Availability of Subject Data. FTA may make available its copyright license to the subject data, and a copy
of the subject data to any FTA Recipient or any Third Party Participant at any tier, except as the Federal
Government determines otherwise in writing.
(4) Identification of Information. It must identify clearly any specific confidential, privileged, or proprietary
information submitted to FTA.
(5) Incomplete. If the Award is not completed for any reason whatsoever, all data developed with federal
assistance for the Award becomes "subject data" and must be delivered as the Federal Government may
direct.
(6) Exception. This section does not apply to an adaptation of any automatic data processing equipment or
program that is both for the Grantee's use, and acquired with FTA capital program assistance.
e. License Fees and Royalties. Consistent with the applicable U.S. DOT Common Rules, the Grantee agrees that
license fees and royalties for patents, patent applications, and inventions produced with federal assistance
provided through the Agreement are program income, and must be used in compliance with federal applicable
requirements.
f. Hold Harmless. Upon request by the Federal Government, the Grantee agrees that if it intentionally violates any
proprietary rights, copyrights, or right of privacy, and if its violation under the preceding section occurs from
any of the publication, translation, reproduction, delivery, use or disposition of subject data, then it will
indemnify, save, and hold harmless against any liability, including costs and expenses of the Federal
Government's officers, employees, and agents acting within the scope of their official duties. The Grantee will
not be required to indemnify the Federal Government for any liability described in the preceding sentence, if the
violation is caused by the wrongful acts of federal officers, employees or agents, or if indemnification is
prohibited or limited by applicable state law.
g. Restrictions on Access to Patent Rights. Nothing in this section of this Master Agreement (FTA MA(23))
pertaining to rights in data either implies a license to the Federal Government under any patent, or may be
construed to affect the scope of any license or other right otherwise granted to the Federal Government under
any patent.
h. Data Developed Without Federal Assistance or Support. The Grantee agrees that in certain circumstances it may
need to provide to FTA data developed without any federal assistance or support. Nevertheless, this section
generally does not apply to data developed without federal assistance, even though that data may have been

data developed without federal assistance from unauthorized disclosure unless that data is clearly marked
