operating arena. The ICS is managed by the Unified Command, and in most cases
is comprised of a designated official from the United States Coast Guard, the
OSPR, and the Responsible Party (Spiller); the three members make all decisions
on how the oil spill incident operations are planned, executed, and demobilized.

publish, and use such work, or any part thereof, and to authorize others to do so.
12. CONTINGENT FUNDING: It is mutually understood between the Parties that this Agreement may
have been written before ascertaining the availability of State appropriation of funds for the mutual
benefit of both Parties in order to avoid program and fiscal delays which would occur if this
Agreement were executed after that determination was made.
This Agreement is valid and enforceable only if sufficient funds are made available pursuant to
the California State Budget Act for the fiscal year(s) covered by this Agreement for the purposes
of this program. In addition, this Agreement is subject to any additional restrictions, limitations, or
conditions enacted by the State Legislature of any statute enacted by the Legislature which may
affect the provisions, terms, or funding of this Agreement in any manner.

this Agreement in accordance with Section 13 of this Exhibit 1.a or amend this Agreement to
reflect any reduction of funds.

a. This agreement may be terminated by mutual consent of both Parties or by any Party upon

transmission.
b. In the event of termination of this Agreement, Grantee shall immediately provide CDFW an
accounting of all Grant Funds received under this Agreement.
c. Any such termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any obligations or
liabilities of either Party already incurred prior to such termination. CDFW shall reimburse

foreseeable and uncancellable obligations. Upon notification of termination from CDFW,
Grantee shall make reasonable efforts to limit any outstanding financial commitments.

15. POTENTIAL SUBCONTRACTOR(S): Nothing contained in this Agreement or otherwise shall
create any contractual relation between CDFW and any of Grantee’s subcontractor(s) and no
subcontract shall relieve Grantee of its responsibilities and obligations hereunder. Grantee agrees
to be as fully responsible to CDFW for the acts and omissions of its subcontractor(s) and of
persons directly employed or indirectly employed by any of them as it is for the acts and omissions
of persons directly employed by Grantee. Grantee’s obligation to pay its subcontractor(s) is an
independent obligation from CDFW’s obligation to make payments to Grantee. As a result, CDFW
shall have no obligation to pay or to enforce the payment of any monies to any of Grantee’s
subcontractors.
16. TRAVEL AND PER DIEM: If the reimbursement of travel or per diem costs are authorized by this
Agreement, such costs shall be reasonable and not exceed those amounts identified in the

CDFW Grant Manager.

or a certificate of insurance stating that there is liability insurance presently in effect for Grantee
of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage liability
combined. Grantee agrees to make the entire insurance policy available to CDFW upon request.
The certificate of insurance will include provisions a, b, and c, in their entirety:
a. The insurer will not cancel the insured’s coverage without 30-days prior written notice to
CDFW;
b. The State and CDFW and their officers, agents, employees, and servants are included as
additional insured, insofar as the operations under this Agreement are concerned; and
c. CDFW will not be responsible for any premiums or assessments on the policy.
Grantee agrees that the liability insurance herein provided for, shall be in effect at all times during
the term of this Agreement. In the event said insurance coverage expires at any time or times
during the term of this Agreement, Grantee agrees to provide, prior to said expiration date, a new
certificate of insurance evidencing insurance coverage as provided for herein for not less than the
remainder of the term of this Agreement, or for a period of not less than one year. New certificates
of insurance are subject to the approval of CDFW, and Grantee agrees that no work or services
shall be performed prior to CDFW giving such approval. In the event Grantee fails to keep in effect,
at all times, insurance coverage as herein provided, CDFW may, in addition to any other remedies
it may have, terminate this Agreement upon occurrence of such event.
CDFW will not provide for, nor compensate Grantee for any insurance premiums or costs for any
type or amount of insurance. The insurance required above, shall cover all Grantee supplied
personnel and equipment used in the performance of this Agreement. If subcontractors performing
work for Grantee under this Agreement cannot provide to Grantee either proof of self-insurance

that Grantee is making sound business decisions.

Grantee and its subcontractor(s), collectively referred to as “Grantee”, shall follow
Federal, State, and local orders, guidelines and directives, and CDFW policies related to
any Executive Order (EO) issued by the Governor of the State of California regarding
economic sanctions.

regarding Economic Sanctions against Russia and Russian entities and individuals.

directs state agencies to terminate grants with, and to refrain from entering any new
grants with, individuals or entities that are determined to be a target of Economic

that shall be grounds for termination of this agreement. The State shall provide Grantee
advance written notice of such termination, allowing Grantee at least 30 calendar days to
provide a written response. Termination shall be at the sole discretion of the State.
