 Remedies

Agreement, (b) sections 404 or 406 of the PSP Extension Law, or (c) the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as it applies to the receipt of Payroll Support has occurred, Treasury may notify the Recipient in writing of its proposed determination
of noncompliance, provide an explanation of the nature of the noncompliance, and specify a proposed remedy. Upon receipt of such notice, the Recipient shall, within seven days, accept Treasury’s proposed remedy, propose an alternative remedy,
or provide information and documentation contesting Treasury’s proposed determination. Treasury shall consider any such submission by the Recipient and make a final written determination, which will state Treasury’s findings regarding
noncompliance and the remedy to be imposed. 



  
 9 














	23.	 If Treasury makes a final determination under paragraph 22 that an instance of noncompliance has occurred,
Treasury may, in its sole discretion, withhold any Additional Payroll Support Payments; require the repayment of the amount of any previously disbursed Payroll Support, with appropriate interest; require additional reporting or monitoring; initiate
suspension or debarment proceedings as authorized under 2 CFR Part 180; terminate this Agreement; or take any such other action as Treasury, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. 



 

	24.	 Treasury may make a final determination regarding noncompliance without regard to paragraph 22 if Treasury
determines, in its sole discretion, that such determination is necessary to protect a material interest of the Federal Government. In such event, Treasury shall notify the Recipient of the remedy that Treasury, in its sole discretion, shall impose,
after which the Recipient may contest Treasury’s final determination or propose an alternative remedy in writing to Treasury. Following the receipt of such a submission by the Recipient, Treasury may, in its sole discretion, maintain or alter
its final determination. 


  

	25.	 Any final determination of noncompliance and any final determination to take any remedial action described
herein shall not be subject to further review. To the extent permitted by law, the Recipient waives any right to judicial review of any such determinations and further agrees not to assert in any court any claim arising from or relating to any such
determination or remedial action. 


  

	26.	 Instead of, or in addition to, the remedies listed above, Treasury may refer any noncompliance or any
allegations of fraud, waste, or abuse to the Treasury Inspector General. 


  

	27.	 Treasury, in its sole discretion, may grant any request by the Recipient for termination of this Agreement,
which such request shall be in writing and shall include the reasons for such termination, the proposed effective date of the termination, and the amount of any unused Payroll Support funds the Recipient requests to return to Treasury. Treasury may,
in its sole discretion, determine the extent to which the requirements under this Agreement may cease to apply following any such termination. 


  

	28.	 If Treasury determines that any remaining portion of the Payroll Support will not accomplish the purpose of
this Agreement, Treasury may terminate this Agreement in its entirety to the extent permitted by law. 


 Debts 

 

	29.	 Any Payroll Support in excess of the amount which Treasury determines, at any time, the Recipient is authorized
to receive or retain under the terms of this Agreement constitutes a debt to the Federal Government. 


  

	30.	 Any debts determined to be owed by the Recipient to the Federal Government shall be paid promptly by the
Recipient. A debt is delinquent if it has not been paid by the date specified in Treasury’s initial written demand for payment, unless other satisfactory arrangements have been made. Interest, penalties, and administrative charges shall be
charged on delinquent debts in accordance with 31 U.S.C. § 3717, 31 CFR 901.9, and paragraphs 31 and 32. Treasury will refer any debt that is more than 180 days delinquent to Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service for debt collection
services. 



  
 10 














	31.	 Penalties on any debts shall accrue at a rate of not more than 6 percent per year or such other higher
rate as authorized by law. 


  

	32.	 Administrative charges relating to the costs of processing and handling a delinquent debt shall be determined
by Treasury. 


  

	33.	 The Recipient shall not use funds from other federally sponsored programs to pay a debt to the government
arising under this Agreement.

	34.	 In addition to other applicable whistleblower protections, in accordance with 41 U.S.C. § 4712, the
Recipient shall not discharge, demote, or otherwise discriminate against an Employee as a reprisal for disclosing information to a Person listed below that the Employee reasonably believes is evidence of gross mismanagement of a Federal contract or
grant, a gross waste of Federal funds, an abuse of authority relating to a Federal contract or grant, a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety, or a violation of law, rule, or regulation related to a Federal contract (including

Treasury to ensure compliance with, or effect the purposes of, this Agreement, which may include, among other documents or information, (a) certain audited financial statements of the Recipient, (b) documentation regarding the
Recipient’s revenues derived from its business as a passenger air carrier or regarding the passenger air carriers for which the Recipient provides services as a contractor (as the case may be), and (c) the Recipient’s most recent

	41.	 If the total value of the Recipient’s currently active grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement
contracts from all Federal awarding agencies exceeds $10,000,000 for any period before termination of this Agreement, then the Recipient shall make such reports as required by 2 CFR part 200, Appendix XII. 



Other 
  

	42.	 The Recipient acknowledges that neither Treasury, nor any other actor, department, or agency of the Federal
Government, shall condition the provision of Payroll Support on the Recipient’s implementation of measures to enter into negotiations with the certified bargaining representative of a craft or class of employees of the Recipient under the
Railway Labor Act (45 U.S.C. 151 et seq.) or the National Labor Relations Act (29 U.S.C. 151 et seq.), regarding pay or other terms and conditions of employment. 



 

	43.	 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Recipient has no right to, and shall not, transfer,
pledge, mortgage, encumber, or otherwise assign this Agreement or any Payroll Support provided under this Agreement, or any interest therein, or any claim, account receivable, or funds arising thereunder or accounts holding Payroll Support, to any
party, bank, trust company, or other Person without the express written approval of Treasury. 


  

	44.	 The Signatory Entity will cause its Affiliates to comply with all of their obligations under or relating to
this Agreement. 


  

	45.	 Unless otherwise provided in guidance issued by Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service, the form of any
Taxpayer Protection Instrument held by Treasury and any subsequent holder will be treated as such form for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (for example, a Taxpayer Protection Instrument in the form of a note will be treated as
indebtedness for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986). 



  
 13 














	46.	 This Agreement may not be amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement in writing entered into by the
Recipient and Treasury, except that Treasury may unilaterally amend this Agreement if required in order to comply with applicable Federal law or regulation. 


  

	47.	 Subject to applicable law, Treasury may, in its sole discretion, waive any term or condition under this
Agreement imposing a requirement on the Recipient or any Affiliate. 


  

	48.	 This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, successors, and assigns. 


  

	49.	 The Recipient represents and warrants to Treasury that this Agreement, and the issuance and delivery to
Treasury of the Taxpayer Protection Instruments, if applicable, have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate and, if required, stockholder action, and will not result in the violation by the Recipient of any provision of law, statute, or
regulation, or of the articles of incorporation or other constitutive documents or bylaws of the Recipient, or breach or constitute an event of default under any material contract to which the Recipient is a party. 



 

	50.	 The Recipient represents and warrants to Treasury that this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
the Recipient and constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Recipient enforceable against the Recipient in accordance with its terms. 


  

	51.	 This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which
together shall constitute a single contract. 


  

	52.	 The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any
assignment shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based
recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any
other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by electronic means, or confirmation of the
execution of this Agreement on behalf of a party by an email from an authorized signatory of such party, shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 



 

	53.	 The captions and paragraph headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and are
not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. 


  

	54.	 This Agreement is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with Federal law. Insofar as there may be no
applicable Federal law, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any rule of conflicts of law (other than section 5-1401 of the New York General
Obligations Law) that would result in the application of the substantive law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. 



  
 14 














	55.	 Nothing in this Agreement shall require any unlawful action or inaction by either party. 



 

	56.	 The requirement pertaining to trafficking in persons at 2 CFR 175.15(b) is incorporated herein and made
applicable to the Recipient. 


  

	57.	 This Agreement, together with the attachments hereto, including the Payroll Support Program Extension
Certification and any attached terms regarding Taxpayer Protection Instruments, constitute the entire agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating
to the subject matter hereof. There may exist other agreements between the parties as to other matters, which are not affected by this Agreement and are not included within this integration clause. 



 

	58.	 No failure by either party to insist upon the strict performance of any provision of this Agreement or to
exercise any right or remedy hereunder, and no acceptance of full or partial Payroll Support (if applicable) or other performance by either party during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach of such
provision.
