Agreement No. U29152-0

Agreement under the Act may be cause for suspension of all obligations of the State

failure was due to no fault of the Grantee. At the discretion of the State, any amount
required to settle at minimum cost any irrevocable obligations properly incurred shall be
eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement.
6. Because the benefit to be derived by the State, from the full compliance by the Grantee
with the terms of this Agreement, is the preservation, enhancement or establishment of
community green areas and spaces for the people of the State of California, and because

furnished by the State by way of Grant Funds under the provisions of this Agreement, the
Grantee agrees that payment by the Grantee to the State of an amount equal to the amount
of the Grant Funds disbursed under this Agreement by the State would be inadequate

of this Agreement shall be the specific performance of this Agreement, unless otherwise
agreed to by the State.

causes of action arise under Government Code Section 895.2 or otherwise, including but not
limited to items to which the Grantee has certified, except for liability arising out of the gross
negligence of State, its officers, agents or employees. Grantee acknowledges that it is
solely responsible for compliance with items to which it has certified.
3. Grantee and State agree that in the event of judgment entered against the State and
Grantee because of the gross negligence of the State and Grantee, their officers, agents or
employees, an apportionment of liability to pay such judgment shall be made by a court of
competent jurisdiction. Neither party shall request a jury apportionment.
G. Financial Records
Grantee shall maintain satisfactory financial accounts, documents and records for the
Project and to make them available to the State for auditing at reasonable times. Grantee

for good cause. "Good cause" includes, but is not limited to, natural disasters that destroy
the Project improvements and render the Project obsolete or impracticable to rebuild.
3. Grantee shall use the property for the purposes for which the Grant was made and shall
make no other use or sale or other disposition of the property. This Agreement shall not
prevent the transfer of the property from the Grantee to a Public Agency, if the successor
Public Agency assumes the obligations imposed by this Agreement.
If the use of the property is changed to a use that is not permitted by the Agreement, or if
the property is sold or otherwise disposed of, at the State's sole discretion, an amount
equal to (1) the amount of the Grant (2) the Fair Market Value of the real property, or (3)
the proceeds from the sale or other disposition, whichever is greater, may be reimbursed
to the State. If the property sold or otherwise disposed of is less than the entire interest

'A plant palette for all plants within the footprint of the project must be submitted with final designs and reflect
appropriate plantings for the area, with consideration given to carbon sequestration and plant origin (native/non-
invasive). Trees, regardless of the funding source, may not exceed 15 gallons in initial planting size.
All projects must comply with the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) or the local agency
landscape water ordinance (if as strict or stricter) and use low water, drought tolerant plantings.
