5. Grantee tracking of fund usage and

M. Retain financial records, supporting 

documents, statistical records, and all other 

records pertinent to the grant for a period of 

at least three years after grant closing except

purpose of this Agreement funds in an 

amount not to exceed the Grant Funds. The 

funds will be disbursed to Grantee on a pro 

rata basis with the Grantee’s matching funds; 

and 

B. At its sole discretion and at any time 

may give any consent, deferment, 

subordination, release, satisfaction, or 

termination of any or all of Grantee’s grant 

obligations, with or without valuable 

consideration, upon such terms and 

conditions as Grantor may determine to be: 

1. Advisable to further the purpose of the 

grant or to protect Grantor’s financial interest 

therein; and 

2. Consistent with both the statutory 

purposes of the grant and the limitations of 

the statutory authority under which it is 

made. 

Both Parties Agree:

A. Extensions of this grant agreement may 

be approved by the Agency, in writing, 

provided in the Agency’s sole discretion the 

extension is justified and there is a likelihood 

that the grantee can accomplish the goals set 

out and approved in the application package 

during the extension period; 

B. The Grantor must approve any changes 

in recipient or recipient composition; 

C. The Grantor has agreed to give the 

Grantee the Grant Funds, subject to the terms 

and conditions established by the Grantor: 

Provided however, That any Grant Funds 

actually disbursed and not needed for grant 

purposes be returned immediately to the 

Grantor. This agreement shall terminate 3 

years from this date unless extended or 

unless terminated beforehand due to default 

on the part of the Grantee or for convenience 

of the Grantor and Grantee. The Grantor may 

terminate the grant in whole, or in part, at 

any time before the date of completion, 

whenever it is determined that the Grantee 

has failed to comply with the conditions of 

this Agreement or the applicable regulations; 

D. As a condition of the Agreement, the 

Grantee certifies that it is in compliance 

with, and will comply in the course of the 

Agreement with, all applicable laws, 

regulations, Executive Orders, and other 

generally applicable requirements, which are 

incorporated into this agreement by 

reference, and such other statutory 

provisions as are specifically contained 

herein. The Grantee will comply with title VI 

of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, section 504 

of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and 

Executive Order 12250; 

E. The Grantee will ensure that the 

recipients comply with title VI of the Civil 

Rights Act of 1964, section 504 of the 

Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Executive 

Order 12250. Each recipient must sign Form 

RD 400–4, ‘‘Assurance Agreement’’; 

F. The provisions of 7 CFR part 3015, 

‘‘Uniform Federal Assistance Regulations,’’

part 3016, ‘‘Uniform Administrative 

Requirements for Grants and Cooperative

hereof by reference; and 

G. This Agreement may be terminated for 

cause in the event of default on the part of 

the Grantee or for convenience of the Grantor 

and Grantee prior to the date of completion 

of the grant purpose. Termination for 

convenience will occur when both the 

Grantee and Grantor agree that the 

continuation of the program will not produce 

beneficial results commensurate with the 

further expenditure of funds.
