This Grant is valid until September 30, 2003, and grant funds are available to Grantee and may be expended by Grantee until said date unless the Department, at its discretion, grants an extension of time.

Project close -out shall be in accordance with the Project Settlement & Close -Out ITEM of this Agreement. This date is subject to further revision at the sole determination and discretion of the Department. B. Failure to Appropriate Funds - This Grant, and the processing of any requisitions and the payment of any funds under this Agreement, is contingent upon the availability of sufficient funds appropriated to the Department by the Illinois General Assembly. The Grantee understands and agrees that the obligations of the Department to make any grants or payments under this Agreement are conditional upon funds being appropriated therefore by the General Assembly, and the Grantee shall not hold the Department liable for failure by the General Assembly to appropriate sufficient funds for this Project. ITEM 7 - ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THE PROJECT A. General Requirements - The Grantee shall commence, carry out, and complete the Project with all practicable dispatch, in a sound, economical, and efficient manner, and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, including all documents listed in ITEM 5 above, and in compliance with all applicable laws and Department guidelines, as from time to time adopted. State Capital Grant Page 6 B. Pursuant to Federal, State, and Local Law - In the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, the Grantee and its contractors shall comply with all applicable provisions of federal, state and local law. All limits and standards set forth in this Agreement to be observed in the performance of the Project are minimum requirements and shall not affect the application to the performance of the Project of more restrictive local standards that are not inconsistent with the limits and standards of this Agreement. The Grantee agrees that the most recent of such state requirements in effect will govern the administration of this Agreement at any particular time, except if there is sufficient evidence in the Agreement of a contrary intent. Such contrary intent might be evidenced by a letter signed by the Department, the language of which modifies or otherwise conditions the text of a particular provision of this Agreement. Likewise, new state laws, regulations, policies and administrative practices may be established after the date the Agreement has been executed that may apply to this Agreement. To achieve compliance with changing state requirements, the Grantee agrees to include in all sub - grantee agreements and third party contracts financed in whole or in part with Department assistance specific notice that state requirements may change and the changed requirements will apply to the Project. C. Funds of the Grantee - The Grantee shall initiate and prosecute to completion all proceedings necessary to enable the Grantee to provide its share of the Project costs at or prior to the time that such funds are needed to meet Project costs. D. Changed Conditions Affecting Performance - The Grantee shall immediately notify the Department of any change in conditions or local law, or of any other event which may significantly affect its ability to perform the Project in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. E. No State Obligations to Third Parties - The Department shall not be subject to any obligations or liabilities by, through, or to contractors of the Grantee or their subcontractors or any other person not a party to this Agreement in connection with the performance of this Project, without its express written consent, notwithstanding the concurrence in or approval of the award by the Department of any contract or subcontract or the solicitation thereof. F. Illinois Law - This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois. G. Grantee's Responsibility for Compliance — Irrespective of the participation of other parties or third party contractors in connection with the Project, the Grantee will continue to have primary responsibility to the Department for compliance with all state requirements, statues, regulations, executive orders, and /or the Grant Agreement for this Project. ITEM 8 - CONTINUANCE OF SERVICE The Grantee agrees to use its best efforts to continue to provide, either directly or by contract or service agreement, as the case may be, the service(s) for which these Project Facilities are being acquired or constructed, as such services(s) is described in the Grantee's final, approved application. No reduction or termination of such service shall be made without compliance with all applicable statutory and regulatory provisions. At least 30 days prior to (a) any reduction or termination of such service or (b) the filing of a request for such reduction or termination with the appropriate regulatory State Capital Grant Page 7 agency, whichever comes first, the Grantee shall give written notice of the proposed action (or shall require the operator of such service to give such notice) to the Department and all units of local government within the Grantee's service area. ITEM 9 — REAL PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES A.. Use of Project Facilities - The Grantee agrees that the Project Facilities will be used for the provision of mass transportation service within the Grantee's service area, substantially in the manner described in the Grantee's final, approved application. Project Facilities may be used for incidental charter or sight- seeing services when not needed for mass transportation service operations. Such Project Facilities shall be used for (a) a period of twenty (20) years from the completion of the Project, or (b) the period of the useful life of such Project Facilities as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and Department guidelines, whichever period of time is less. If, during such period, such Project Facilities are not used for the Project as required by the terms of this Agreement, or are sold or otherwise disposed of, or withdrawn from mass transportation service at the initiative of the Grantee, the Grantee shall immediately notify the Department, and shall at the Department's discretion, and as provided in Department guidelines, remit to the State a proportional amount of the fair market value, if any, of such Project Facilities. If the Project Facilities include commuter parking, the Parties agree that users of the commuter parking facilities funded by this Grant may be charged a fee for the use of such facilities, but the amount of such fee shall be so established to meet reasonable maintenance and operating expenses, and to establish a sinking fund to cover major rehabilitation, or for other transit related purposes as approved by the Department in writing. The Project Facilities shall be equally available for use by all commuters regardless of the place of residence, and there shall be no difference in the amount of fees charged to users of such commuter parking facilities based on place of residence. The Grantee shall keep satisfactory records with regard to the use of the Project Facilities and shall submit to the Department, upon request, such information as the Department may require in order to assure compliance with this ITEM, and the Grantee shall immediately notify the Department in all cases where Project Facilities are used in a manner substantially different from that described in the Grantee's final approved application. The Grantee shall maintain, in an amount(s) and form satisfactory to the Department, such insurance or self- insurance as will be adequate to protect Project Facilities throughout the period of required use. The cost of such insurance shall not be an item of allowable cost under this Agreement. The Grantee shall also submit, from time to time, to the Department upon request, a certification that the Project Facilities are still being used in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and further certify that no part of the local contribution to the cost of the Project has been refunded or reduced. B. Maintenance and Withdrawn Property - The Grantee agrees to maintain any Project Facilities at a high level of cleanliness, safety, and mechanical soundness and in accordance with any guidelines, directives, or regulations that the manufacturer, contractor, or the Department may issue, the stricter standard shall apply unless excused by the Department. For vehicles, the manufacturer's suggested maintenance and inspection schedule will be considered the minimum maintenance standard that must be adhered to. For vehicles, the Grantee must establish and follow a written maintenance plan which includes, pre -trip inspections, a preventive maintenance program, and documentation of repairs. The Department shall have the right to conduct periodic inspections for the purpose of confirming proper maintenance pursuant to this Section. The Department reserves the right to require the Grantee to restore, State Capital Grant Page 8 repair or replace Project Facilities or pay for damage as a result of abuse, neglect, or misuse of such Project Facilities. If, at any time during the useful life of the Project Facilities, any of the Project Facilities are not used for the purposes specified in this Agreement, whether by planned withdrawal, misuse or casualty loss, the Grantee shall immediately notify and receive approval from the Department prior to disposing of such Project Facilities. Any such disposition shall be in accordance with Department procedures. (1) Interest in Property - Unless otherwise approved by the Department, the Grantee agrees to remit to the Department the State interest in the fair market value, if any, of any item of the Project Facilities whose unit value exceeds $5,000, or the Project Facility, at the option of the Department. The portion of that interest shall be determined on the basis of the ratio of the assistance provided by the Department for the particular Project Facility to the actual cost of the Project. (2) Fair Market Value - The following requirements apply to the calculation of fair market value: (a) Unless otherwise approved in writing by the Department, the fair market value of any of the Project Facilities will be the value of that property at the time immediately before the occurrence that prompted the withdrawal of the Project Facilities from transit use. The fair market value shall be calculated by the one of the following: (1) appraised value, (2) on a straight line depreciation of the Project Facilities, based on a useful life approved by the Department irrespective of the reason for withdrawal of Project Facilities from transit use, or (3) the actual proceeds from the public sale of such property, whichever method is approved by the Department with an objective to obtain the highest fair market value. Any appraiser employed for such purposes have experience in appraising similar project equipment and facilities in accordance with state and federal standards. The fair market value of any of the Project Facilities lost or damaged by casualty or fire will be calculated on the basis of the condition of such property immediately before the casualty, irrespective of the extent of insurance coverage. (b) Exceptional Circumstances - The Department, however, reserves the right to require another method of valuation to be used if determined to be in the best interest of the Department. In unusual circumstances, the Grantee may request that the Department approve the use of another reasonable method of determining fair market value, including but not limited to accelerated depreciation, comparable sales, or estimated market values. In determining whether to approve an alternate method, the Department may consider any action taken, omission made, or unfortunate occurrence suffered by the Grantee with respect to the preservation or conservation of the value of the particular item of property that, for any reason, has been withdrawn from service. C. Misused or Damaged Property - If damage to any of the Project Facilities results from abuse, neglect, or misuse that has taken place with the Grantee's knowledge and consent, the Grantee agrees that the Department may require the Grantee to restore those Project Facilities to their original condition, at the Grantee's sole expense, or refund the fair market value of the State interest in such damaged Project Facilities. D. Obligations After Proiect Close -Out - The Grantee agrees that project close -out will not alter its property management obligations set forth in this Agreement. State Capital Grant Page 9 ITEM 10 - ETHICS A. Code of Conduct (1) Personal Conflict of Interest - The Grantee shall maintain a written code or standard of conduct which shall govern the performance of its employees, officers, board members or agents engaged in the award and administration of contracts supported by federal or state funds. Such code shall provide that no employee, officer, board member, or agent of the Grantee may participate in the selection, award, or administration of a contract supported by federal or state funds if a conflict of interest, real or apparent, would be involved. Such a conflict would arise when any of the parties set forth below has a financial or other interest in the firm selected for award: (a) The employee, officer, board member, or agent; (b) Any member of his or her immediate family; (c) His or her partner; or (d) An organization that employs, or is about to employ, any of the above. The conflict of interest restriction for former employees, officers, board members and agents shall apply for one year. The code shall also provide that the Grantee's employees, officers, board members or agents shall neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors or anything of monetary value from contractors, potential contractors, or parties to sub- agreements. The Department may waive the prohibition contained in this subsection, provided that any such present employee, officer, board member, or agent shall not participate in any action by the Grantee or the locality relating to such contract, subcontract, or arrangement. (2) Organizational Conflict of Interest — The Grantee will also prevent any real and apparent organizational conflict of interest. An organizational conflict of interest exists when the nature of the work to be performed under a proposed third party contract or subcontract may, without some restriction on future activities, result in an unfair competitive advantage to the third party contractor or grantee or impair the objectivity in performing the contract work. B. Bribery - Nongovernmental grantees and third party contractors shall certify that they have not been convicted of bribery or attempting to bribe an officer or employee of the State of Illinois or local government, nor has the Grantee made an admission of -guilt of such conduct which is a matter of record, nor has an official, agent or employee of such grantees or third party contractors committed bribery or attempted bribery on behalf of the firm and pursuant to the direction or authorization of a responsible official of the grantee. Such grantees or third party contractors shall further certify that they have not been barred from contracting with a unit of the State or local government as a result of a violation of Section 33E -3 or 33E -4 of the Illinois Criminal Code . ITEM 11 — ACCOUNTING, RECORDS, AND, ACCESS A. Project Accounts - The Grantee shall establish and maintain, as a separate set of accounts or as an integral but identifiable part of its current accounting scheme, accounts for the Project ( "Project Accounts ") in conformity with requirements established by the Department.

The Grantee shall require the depositories of Project Funds to secure continuously and fully all Project Funds in excess of the amounts insured under federal plans, or under state plans which have been approved for the deposit of the Project Funds by the Department, by the deposit or setting aside of collateral of the types and in the manner as described by state law for the security of public funds. The Grantee agrees to report to the Department, at such other times as the Department may prescribe in writing, the amounts recorded, as required above, in the Project Account. All Project Funds held by the Grantee over one (1) month shall draw interest and the amount of such interest earned shall be reported to the Department in the quarterly Project Account report. Such interest shall be applied to the Net Project Cost as directed by the Department. C. Eligible Costs - Expenditures made by the Grantee shall be reimbursable as eligible costs to the extent they meet all of the requirements set forth below. They must: (1) be made in conformance with the Grantee's final approved application and the Approved Project Budget and all other provisions of this Agreement; (2) be necessary in order to accomplish the Project; (3) be reasonable in amount for the goods or services purchased; (4) be actual net costs to the Grantee (i.e., the price paid minus any refunds, rebates, or other items of value received by the Grantee that have the effect of reducing the cost actually incurred); (5) be incurred (and be for work performed) after the date of this Agreement, unless specific written authorization from the Department to the contrary is received in writing; (6) be in conformance with the standards for allowability of costs established by the Department; (7) be satisfactorily documented; (8) be treated uniformly and consistently under accounting principles and procedures approved or prescribed by the Department for the Grantee; and those approved or prescribed by the Grantee for its contractors; and (9) be eligible support and supervisory costs, but only for grantees for whom the Department has approved such costs. Such support and supervisory costs mean those supervisory costs allocated to the capital project based on an approved cost allocation plan and support services costs. Provided however, that the Department will not consider for approval a cost allocation plan that has not been approved by either the Federal Transit Administration or the Grantee's cognizant federal agency; and, provided further, that the State Capital Grant Page 11 support costs shall not exceed two (2) percent of the amount of any grant for the purchase of rolling stock and six (6) percent of the amount of any grant for all other types of capital projects. (10) not be expenditures incurred by the Grantee which exceed the amount budgeted for a specific project line item (i.e. project element, job order or item) unless, at the time of completion of the project line item, those expenditures meet all of the requirements below: (a) Justification satisfactory to the Department is provided to explain the reason for the overexpenditure and why that overexpenditure was not anticipated prior to exceeding the budget for the project line item; (b) The budget for the project line item covers the full scope of the project line item, i.e., the budget of the project line item is intended to be adequate for the completion of the project line item (including, but not limited to, all engineering, material procurement, or construction); (c) The amount by which the expenditures exceed the budget for the project line item is less than $10,000 or five percent of the approved budget of the project line item, whichever is less; (d) There are sufficient unspent funds in Contingencies which may be reallocated to the budget of the project line item; (e) The funds remaining in Contingencies after reallocation of the funds to the budget of the project line item are sufficient, as determined by the Department, to provide for the uncompleted portions of all project line items described in the Agreement; and (f) The increased expenditure will not cause the allowable State Grant for the Project to be exceeded.. However, in the event that it may be impractical to determine exact costs of indirect or service functions, eligible costs will include such allowances for these costs as may be approved by the Department. D. Documentation of Project Costs - All costs charged to the Project, including any approved services contributed by the Grantee or others, shall be supported by properly executed payrolls, time records, invoices, contracts, or vouchers evidencing in detail the nature and propriety of the charges, in form and content satisfactory to the Department. E. Checks, Orders, and Vouchers - Any check or order drawn by the Grantee with respect to any item which is or will be chargeable against the Project Account will be drawn only in accordance with a properly signed voucher then on file in the office of the Grantee stating in proper detail the purpose of which such check or order is drawn. All checks, payrolls, invoices, contracts, vouchers, orders, or other accounting documents pertaining in whole or in part to the Project shall be clearly identified, readily accessible, and, to the extent feasible, kept separate and apart from all other documents. F. Record Retention - The Grantee shall maintain (and cause its contractors to maintain), for a minimum of three(3) years after the completion of the Agreement (which shall occur after the State Capital Grant Page 12 completion of settlement of audit findings), all books, records, and supporting documents to verify the amounts, receipts, disbursements, recipients, and uses of all funds passing in conjunction with the Agreement; the Agreement and all books, records, and supporting documents related to the Agreement shall be available for review and audit by the Auditor General or the Department (hereinafter "Auditing Parties "); and the Grantee agrees to cooperate fully with any audit conducted by the Auditing Parties and to provide full access to all relevant materials. Failure to maintain the books, records, and supporting documents required by this section shall establish a presumption in favor of the Department for the recovery of any funds paid by the Department under the Agreement for which adequate books, records, and supporting documentation are not available to support their purported disbursement. G. General Audit and Inspection - The Grantee shall permit, and shall require its contractors to permit, the Department or any other State agency authorized to perform such audit and inspection, to inspect all work, materials, payrolls, and other data and records, with regard to the Project, and to audit the books records and accounts of the Grantee and its contractors with regard to the Project. The Department may also require the Grantee to furnish at any time prior to close -out of the Project, audit reports prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles. The Grantee agrees to comply promptly with recommendations contained in the Department's final audit report. H. Unused Funds - The Grantee agrees that upon completion of the Project, and after payment or provision for payment or reimbursement of all Eligible Costs, the Grantee shall refund to the Department any unexpended balance of the Grant. Prior to close -out, however the Department reserves the right to deobligate unspent funds. ITEM 12 - REQUISITIONS AND PAYMENTS A. Requests for Payment by the Grantee - The Grantee must submit written requisitions for reimbursement of the State share of eligible costs, and the Department will honor any properly submitted requests in the manner set forth in this ITEM.

Upon receipt of the requisition form and the accompanying information in satisfactory form, the Department will process the requisition, provided that the Grantee is not in violation of any of the terms of this Agreement, has satisfied the Department of its need for the State funds requested during the requisition period, and is making progress, satisfactory to the Department, towards the timely completion of the Project. If all of these circumstances are found to exist, the Department shall reimburse apparent allowable costs incurred (or to be incurred during the requisition period) by the Grantee, from time to time, but not in excess of the maximum amount of the State share therefor as shown in the Approved Project Budget. Requisitions shall not be submitted more frequently than monthly. Reimbursement of any cost pursuant to this ITEM shall not constitute a final determination by the Department of the allowability of such cost, and shall not constitute a waiver of any violation of the terms of this Agreement committed by the Grantee. The Department will make a final determination as to allowability only after a final audit of the Project has been concluded. In the event the Department determines that the Grantee is not currently eligible to receive any or all of the funds requested, it shall promptly notify the Grantee stating the reasons for such determination.

Termination of any part of the Grant will not invalidate obligations properly incurred by the Grantee and concurred in by the Department prior to the date of termination, to the extent they are non - cancelable. Neither the acceptance of a remittance by the Department of any or all Project Funds from the Grantee or the closing out of State financial participation in the Project shall not constitute a waiver of any claim which the State may otherwise have arising out of this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any condition or conditions listed in this ITEM for termination or suspension, the Parties agree that the Department, by written notice to the Grantee, may elect to withhold or delay payment as provided in the Approved Project Budget, or any portion thereof; or, if payment or payments have already been made pursuant hereto, to recall such payment or payments or any portion thereof. The Grantee agrees that upon receipt of such notice of recall the Grantee shall State Capital Grant Page 14 immediately return such Grant payment or payments, or any portion thereof, which the Grantee has received pursuant hereto.

ITEM 14 - PROJECT SETTLEMENT AND CLOSE -OUT Upon receipt of notice of successful completion of the Project or upon termination by the Department, the Department shall perform a final audit of the Project to determine the allowability of costs incurred, and shall make settlement of the Grant described in this Agreement. If the Department has made payment to the Grantee in excess of the total amount of such Grant, as determined by final audit, the Grantee shall promptly remit such excess to the Department. The Project close -out occurs when the Department notifies the Grantee that the Project is closed -out and forwards the final Grant payment, as determined by final audit, to the Grantee, or when an appropriate refund of Grant funds, as determined by final audit, has been received from the Grantee and acknowledged by the Department.
