institution with record keeping of such Accounts maintained pursuant to applicable legal requirements. The <br />SUBRECIPIENT shall keep all records of the Account in a manner that is consistent with generally <br />accepted accounting principles. No monies shall be withdrawn from the Account except for expenditures <br />relating to essential services, homeless prevention, and/or operations costs, as authorized hereunder. All <br />disbursements from the Account shall be for obligations incurred in the performance of this <br />AGREEMENT and shall be supported by contracts, invoices, vouchers, and other data, as appropriate, <br />evidencing the necessity of such expenditure. The CITY may withhold payment allocation requests if the <br />SUBRECIPIENT fails to comply with the above requirements until such compliance is demonstrated. <br />Expenditure of Funds <br />Much like how HUD requires the CITY, pursuant to 24 CFR 576.203, to expend all of the grant funds for <br />eligible activity costs within 24 months after the date that HUD signs the grant agreement with the CITY, <br />it is a requirement for the SUBRECIPIENT to expend all of the grant funds for eligible activity costs <br />within the aforementioned period. For the purposes of this paragraph, expenditure means either an actual <br />cash disbursement for a direct charge for a good/service or an indirect cost, or the accrual of a direct <br />charge for a good/service or an indirect cost. Failure to expend said funds within said timeframe can result <br />in a reallocation of funds. <br />Prohibited Use <br />(1) Generally. The SUBRECIPIENT hereby certifies and agrees that it will not use funds provided <br />through this AGREEMENT to pay for meals for persons other than those identified as homeless or at risk of <br />homelessness. Said funds shall not be used for entertainment purposes or for gifts. The SUBRECIPIENT <br />certifies that it will not use said funds for illegal or dishonest conduct, rather, fund use will remain in <br />compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including applicable laws not outlined in this <br />AGREEMENT. <br />(2) Lobbying. The SUBRECIPIENT certifies and agrees that it will comply with federal law (31 U.S.C. <br />1352) and regulations found at 24 CFR Part 87, which provide that no appropriated funds may be expended <br />by the recipient of a federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement to pay any person for influencing <br />or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, Member of Congress, or an officer or <br />employee of a Member of Congress in connection with awarding of any federal contract, the making of any <br />federal grant or loan, entering into any cooperative agreement and the extension, renewal, amendment, or <br />modification of any federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement. The SUBRECIPIENT shall sign a <br />certification to that effect in a form as set forth in Exhibit C, attached hereto and by this reference <br />incorporated herein. The SUBRECIPIENT shall submit said signed certification to the CITY prior to <br />performing any of its obligations under this AGREEMENT and prior to any obligation arising on the part of <br />the CITY to pay any sums to the SUBRECIPIENT under the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT. If <br />any funds other than Federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid to any person for influencing <br />or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or <br />employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with this Federal contract, <br />grant, loan, or cooperative agreement, the undersigned shall complete and submit a "Disclosure Form to <br />Report Lobbying," in accordance with its instructions (see Exhibit C-1). <br />IV. NOTICES <br />The SUBRECIPIENT and the CITY agree that all notices required by this AGREEMENT shall be made in <br />writing and delivered via mail (postage prepaid); commercial courier; personal delivery; or sent by <br />facsimile or other electronic means (provided that receipt is confirmed). Any notice delivered or sent as <br />aforesaid shall be effective on the date of delivery or sending. All notices and other written <br />communications under this AGREEMENT shall be addressed to the individuals in the capacities <br />indicated below, unless modified by subsequent written notice. <br />Communication and details concerning the AGREEMENT shall be delivered to the office of, and directed <br />to, the following representatives: <br />4
