is not then serving, such notice and copies shall be delivered to the Executive

Contractor's obligations hereunder. Contractor acknowledges that with respect to
this Contract, even the appearance of a conflict of interest is harmful to the State's
interests. Absent the State's prior written approval, Contractor shall refrain from
any practices, activities or relationships that reasonably appear to be in conflict
with the full performance of Contractor's obligations to the State hereunder. If a

the appearance of a conflict of interest exists, Contractor shall submit to the State

this Contract) shall maintain a written code of standards governing the
performance of its employees engaged in the award and administration of
contracts. No employee, officer or agent of the Contractor, Subcontractor, or
subgrantee shall participate in the selection, or in the award or administration of a
contract or subcontract supported by federal funds if a conflict of interest, real or
apparent, would be involved. Such a conflict would arise when:
i. The employee, officer or agent;
ii. Any member of the employee's immediate family;
iii. The employee's partner; or
iv. An organization which employs, or is about to employ, any of the above,
has a financial or other interest in the firm selected for award. The

agents will neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of
monetary value from Contractors, potential Contractors, or parties to

Remedies are cumulative and the State may exercise any or all of the remedies
available to it, in its sole discretion, concurrently or consecutively. The State may

The State shall reimburse Contractor only for accepted performance up to
the effective date of the termination. If, after termination by the State, it is
determined that Contractor was not in breach or that Contractor'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 Contract had been terminated in the public interest, as
described herein.

remain liable to the State for any damages sustained by the State by virtue
of any breach under this Contract by Contractor and the State may
