This Grant Agreement is made this 7th day of June, 2022 by and between the ARIZONA CRIMINAL JUSTICE

ATTORNEY'S OFFICE hereinafter called "GRANTEE". The COMMISSION enters into this Agreement pursuant to
its authority under the provisions of A.R.S. § 41-2405 (B)(6), and having satisfied itself as to the qualification of
GRANTEE;
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed between the parties as follows:
1. This Agreement will commence on July 01, 2022 and terminate on June 30, 2023. This Agreement expires
at the end of the award period unless prior written approval for an extension has been obtained from the
COMMISSION. A request for an extension must be received by the COMMISSION sixty (60) days prior to the end
of the award period. The COMMISSION in its sole discretion may approve an extension that furthers the goals
and objectives of the program and shall determine the length of any extension.
2. GRANTEE agrees that grant funds will be used in accordance with applicable program rules, guidelines and
special conditions.
3. The COMMISSION will monitor GRANTEE performance against program goals and performance standards
and those outlined in the grant application. Substandard performance as determined by the COMMISSION will
constitute noncompliance with this Agreement. If the COMMISSION finds noncompliance, the GRANTEE will
receive a written notice which identifies the area of noncompliance, and the appropriate corrective action to be
taken. If the GRANTEE does not respond within thirty (30) calendar days to this notice, and does not provide
sufficient information concerning the steps which are being taken to correct the problem, the COMMISSION may
suspend funding, permanently terminate this Agreement or revoke the grant.
4. Any deviation or failure to comply with the purpose and/or conditions of this Agreement without prior written
COMMISSION approval may constitute sufficient reason for the COMMISSION to terminate this Agreement,
revoke the grant, require the return of all unspent funds, perform an audit of expended funds, and require
the return of any previously spent funds which are deemed to have been spent in violation of the purpose or
conditions of this grant.
5. This Agreement may be modified only by a written amendment signed by the Executive Director or by persons

7. The total to be paid by the COMMISSION under this Agreement shall not exceed $687,384.61 in federal
funds awarded to the COMMISSION by the U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ), Office of Justice Programs
(OJP) and $120,006.14 in state funds. If this grant has a matching requirement, GRANTEE understands that
other federal grant funds cannot be used as a match for this grant. The matching amount for this award is
$269,130.25.
8. Every payment obligation of the COMMISSION under this Agreement is conditioned upon the availability of
funds appropriated or allocated for the payment of such obligation. If funds are not allocated and available for
the continuance of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated by the COMMISSION. No liability shall
accrue to the COMMISSION in the event this provision is exercised, and the COMMISSION shall not be
obligated or liable for any future payments or for any damages as a result of termination under this
paragraph.
9. GRANTEE agrees that if it currently has an active award of federal funds or if it receives any other award
of federal funds during the period of performance for this award, and those award funds have been, are being
or are to be used, in whole or in part, for one or more of the identical cost items for which funds are being
provided under this award, GRANTEE will promptly notify, in writing, the COMMISSION, of the potential of
duplication, and if so requested by the COMMISSION, seek a budget modification or change-of-project-scope
grant adjustment (GA) to eliminate any inappropriate duplication of funding.
10. GRANTEE agrees to retain all books, account reports, files and other records, (paper and/or electronic)
relating to this Agreement and the performance of this Agreement for no less than five (5) years from the last
financial report submitted to the COMMISSION. All such documents shall be subject to inspection and audit
at reasonable times, including such records of any subgrantee, contractor, or subcontractor. GRANTEE also
understands and agrees that USDOJ and the United States General Accounting Office (USGAO) are
authorized to interview any officer or employee of the GRANTEE (or of any subgrantee, contractor, or
subcontractor) regarding transactions related to this award.
11. GRANTEE agrees that activities funded under this award will be closely coordinated with related activities
supported with Office of Justice Programs (OJP), State, local or tribal funds. Grant funds may only be used
for the purposes in the GRANTEE's approved application. GRANTEE shall not undertake any work or
activities not described in the grant application, including staff, equipment, or other goods or services without
prior approval from the COMMISSION.
12. GRANTEE agrees to track, account for, and report on all funds (including specific outcomes and benefits)
separately from all other funds for the same or similar purposes or programs.
Accordingly, the accounting systems of GRANTEE and all subgrantees must ensure that funds from this
award are not commingled with funds from any other source.
13. GRANTEE agrees to abide by Federal and State laws and provide accounting, auditing and monitoring
procedures to safeguard grant funds and keep such records to assure proper fiscal controls, management
and the efficient disbursement of grant funds.
14. For the purposes of this grant, a capital expenditure means expenditures to acquire capital assets, as
defined in 2 C.F.R. 200.12, or expenditures to make additions, improvements, modifications, replacements,
rearrangements, reinstallations, renovations, or alterations to capital assets that materially increase their
value or useful life, with a cost of $5,000 or greater. If the GRANTEE's capitalization policy defines a capital
expenditure as less than $5,000, the GRANTEE will follow its own policy.
15. GRANTEE agrees to maintain property records for equipment purchased with grant funds and perform a
physical inventory and reconciliation with property records at least every two years or more frequently if
required by GRANTEE policy. GRANTEE agrees that funds will not be used for the construction of new
facilities.
16. GRANTEE agrees to follow equipment disposition policies outlined in 2 C.F.R. 200.313(e)(1) through (4)

of the federal government's Senior Executive Service (SES) at an agency with a Certified SES Performance

the grant solicitation.)
29. GRANTEE agrees not to use grant funds for food and/or beverage unless explicitly approved in writing by
the COMMISSION.
30. GRANTEE agrees to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, policies and guidance (including

writing by the COMMISSION. Information on pertinent laws, regulations, policies, and guidance is available in
the OJP Financial Guide (currently, as section 3.10 "Postaward Requirements" in the DOJ Grants Financial
Guide).
31. No funds shall be used to supplant federal, state, county or local funds that would otherwise be made
available for such purposes. Supplanting means the deliberate reduction of state or local funds because of
the existence of any grant funds.
32. GRANTEE assigns to the COMMISSION any claim for overcharges resulting from antitrust violations to
the extent that such violations concern materials or services applied by third parties to GRANTEE in
exchange for grant funds provided under this Agreement.
33. The parties agree to use arbitration in the event of disputes in accordance with the provisions of A.R.S. §
12-1501-12-1518. The laws of the State of Arizona apply to questions arising under this Agreement and any
litigation regarding this Agreement must be maintained in Arizona courts, except as pertaining to disputes
which are subject to arbitration.
I. In the event of a dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating in any way to the Agreement, the
complaining Party shall notify the other Party in writing thereof. Within 30 calendar days of such notice,
representatives of both Parties shall meet at an agreed location to attempt to resolve the dispute in good
faith. Should the dispute not be resolved within 30 calendar days after such notice, the complaining Party
shall seek remedies exclusively through arbitration, in accordance with the provisions of A.R.S. § 12-1501
through 12-1518.
II. The arbitration demand must be a clear and concise statement of the claim or dispute. The respondent's
answer and any counterclaims must be filed within 20 calendar days of service of the demand.
III. The arbitration shall be conducted in Maricopa County.
IV. The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator. If the Parties are not able to agree upon the selection
of an arbitrator, within 20 calendar days of the commencement of an arbitration proceeding by service of a
demand for arbitration, the court on application of a Party shall appoint the arbitrator.
V. The arbitrator must promptly set a conference to clarify the claims and defenses, to establish fair
procedures, and to set a schedule for completing the arbitration.
VI. It is the intent of the parties that, barring extraordinary circumstances, arbitration proceedings will be
concluded with 120 calendar days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend the
time limit in the interests of justice. Failure to adhere to this time limit shall not constitute a basis for
challenging the award.

VII. The arbitrator must issue a written, reasoned award within 20 calendar days from the date the hearing is
formally closed, or as soon after that as is feasible. The sole remedy will be actual damages; no punitive
damages are allowed.
VIII. Unless the arbitrator orders otherwise, the Parties must share arbitration costs equally, including
arbitrator's fees and expenses. Each party must pay its own expenses and attorney's fees.
34. GRANTEE understands that grant funds may not be released until all delinquent reports and reversion of
funds from prior grants are submitted to the COMMISSION.
35. GRANTEE agrees that grant funds are not to be expended for any indirect costs that may be incurred by
GRANTEE for administering these funds unless explicitly approved in writing by the COMMISSION. This may
include, but is not limited to, costs for services such as accounting, payroll, data processing, purchasing,
personnel, and building use which may have been incurred by the GRANTEE.
36. Each party (as "Indemnitor") agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other party (as
"Indemnitee") from and against any and all claims, losses, liability, costs, or expenses, (including reasonable
attorney's fees) (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Claims") arising out of bodily injury of any person
(including death) or property damage, but only to the extent that such Claims which result in
vicarious/derivative liability to the Indemnitee are caused by the act, omission, negligence, misconduct, or
other fault of the Indeminitor, its officers, officials, agents, employees, or volunteers. If the GRANTEE is a
State agency, board, commission, or university of the State of Arizona, this paragraph shall not apply.
37. Should GRANTEE utilize a contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) the indemnification clause between
GRANTEE and its contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) shall include the following:
Contractor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the GRANTEE and the State of Arizona, and any
jurisdiction or agency issuing any permits for any work arising out of this Agreement, and its departments,
agencies, boards, commissions, universities, officers, officials, agents, and employees (hereinafter referred to
as "Indemnitee") from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses
(including court costs, attorneys' fees, and costs of claim processing, investigation and litigation) (hereinafter
referred to as "Claims") for bodily injury or personal injury (including death), or loss or damage to tangible or
intangible property caused, or alleged to be caused, in whole or in part, by the negligent or willful acts or
omissions of the contractor or any of the directors, officers, agents, or employees or subcontractors of such
contractor. This indemnity includes any claim or amount arising out of or recovered under the Workers'
Compensation Law or arising out of the failure of such contractor to conform to any federal, state or local law,
statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or court decree. It is the specific intention of the parties that the
Indemnitee shall, in all instances, except for Claims arising solely from the negligent or willful acts or
omissions of the Indemnitee, be indemnified by such contractor from and against any and all claims. It is
agreed that such contractor will be responsible for primary loss investigation, defense and judgment costs
where this indemnification is applicable. Additionally on all applicable insurance policies, contractor and its
subcontractors shall name the State of Arizona, and its departments, agencies, boards, commissions,
universities, officers, officials, agents, and employees as an additional insured and also include a waiver of
subrogation in favor of the State. Insurance requirements for any contractor used by GRANTEE are
incorporated herein by this reference and attached to this Agreement as Exhibit "A".
38. Restrictions and certifications regarding non-disclosure agreements and related matters
No GRANTEE under this award, or entity that receives a procurement contract or subcontract with any funds
under this award, may require any employee or contractor to sign an internal confidentiality agreement or
statement that prohibits or otherwise restricts, or purports to prohibit or restrict, the reporting (in accordance
with law) of waste, fraud, or abuse to an investigative or law enforcement representative of a federal
department or agency authorized to receive such information.
The foregoing is not intended, and shall not be understood by the agency making this award, to contravene
requirements applicable to Standard Form 312 (which relates to classified information), Form 4414 (which
relates to sensitive compartmented information), or any other form issued by a federal department or agency
governing the nondisclosure of classified information.

I. In accepting this award, the GRANTEE--
a. represents that it neither requires nor has required internal confidentiality agreements or
statements from employees or contractors that currently prohibit or otherwise currently restrict (or
purport to prohibit or restrict) employees or contractors from reporting waste, fraud, or abuse as
described above; and
b. certifies that, if it learns or is notified that it is or has been requiring its employees or contractors to

receive award funds (whether through a subaward ("subgrant"), procurement contract, or
subcontract under a procurement contract) either requires or has required internal confidentiality
agreements or statements from employees or contractors that currently prohibit or otherwise
currently restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict) employees or contractors from reporting waste,
fraud, or abuse as described above; and
(2) it has made appropriate inquiry, or otherwise has an adequate factual basis, to support this
representation; and
b. it certifies that, if it learns or is notified that any subrecipient, contractor, or subcontractor entity that
receives funds under this award is or has been requiring its employees or contractors to execute
agreements or statements that prohibit or otherwise restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict), reporting
of waste, fraud, or abuse as described above, it will immediately stop any further obligations of award
funds to or by that entity, will provide prompt written notification to the federal agency making this
award, and will resume (or permit resumption of) such obligations only if expressly authorized to do so
by that agency.
39. GRANTEE agrees to notify the COMMISSION within ten (10) days in the event that the project official is
replaced during the award period.
40. No rights or interest in this Agreement shall be assigned by GRANTEE without prior written approval of
the COMMISSION.

42. GRANTEE certifies that it will comply with the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and
Audit Requirements in 2 C.F.R. Part 200, as adopted and supplemented by DOJ in 2 C.F.R. Part 2800
(together, the "Part 200 Uniform Requirements") and the OJP Financial Guide. Link: 2 C.F.R Part 200 for
OJP Awards at https://ojp.gov/funding/Part200UniformRequirements.htm .
43. Compliance with general appropriations-law restrictions on the use of federal funds for awards made after
FY 2018. GRANTEE or sub-grantee at any tier, must comply with all applicable restrictions on the use of
federal funds set out in federal appropriations statutes. Should a question arise as to whether a particular use
of federal funds by a GRANTEE would or might fall within the scope of an appropriations-law restriction, the
recipient is to contact OJP for guidance, and may not proceed without the express prior written approval of
OJP. Pertinent restrictions, including from various "general provisions" in the Consolidated Appropriations Act,

44. GRANTEE agrees that it cannot use any federal funds, either directly or indirectly, in support of any
contract or sub award to either the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) or its
subsidiaries, without the express written approval of the Office of Justice Programs through the

45. GRANTEE understands and agrees that misuse of award funds may result in a range of penalties,
including suspension of current and future funds, suspension or debarment from federal grants, recoupment
of monies provided under an award, and civil and/or criminal penalties.
46. GRANTEE agrees not to do business with any individual, agency, company or corporation listed in the
Excluded Parties Listing Service. Link: System for Award Management at https://www.sam.gov/SAM/ .
47. GRANTEE agrees to ensure that, no later than the due date of the GRANTEE's first financial report after
the award is made, GRANTEE and any subgrantees have a valid Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) profile and
active registration with the System for Award Management (SAM) database.
48. GRANTEE certifies that it presently has no financial interest and shall not acquire any financial interest,
direct or indirect, which would conflict in any manner or degree with the performance of services required
under this Agreement.
49. GRANTEE understands and agrees that any training or training materials developed or delivered with
funding provided under this award must adhere to the OJP Training Guide Principles for Grantees and
Subgrantees. Link: OJP Training Guide Principles for Grantees and Subgrantees at
https://www.ojp.gov/funding/implement/training-guiding-principles-grantees-and-subgrantees .
50. GRANTEE agrees to cooperate and participate with any and all assessments, evaluation efforts or
information and data collection requests, and acknowledges that the federal or state grantor agency has the
right to obtain, reproduce, publish or use data provided under this award and may authorize others to receive
and use such information.
51. GRANTEE shall provide the COMMISSION with a copy of all interim and final reports and proposed
publications (including those prepared for conferences and other presentations) resulting from this
Agreement. Submission of such materials must be prior to or simultaneous with their public release.
52. GRANTEE agrees that any publications (written, visual, or sound) excluding press releases and
newsletters, whether published at the GRANTEE'S or COMMISSION'S expense, shall contain the following
statement:
"This was supported by Award No. 2020-DJ-BX-0050 awarded by the Department of Justice, Office of Justice
Programs, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice. The opinions findings, and conclusions or
recommendations expressed in this publication/program/exhibition are those of the author(s) and do not
necessarily reflect the views of the Department of Justice."
53. GRANTEE agrees to comply with the non-discrimination requirements of the Omnibus Crime Control and
Safe Streets Act (Safe Streets Act) of 1968, as amended, 34 U.S.C. § 10228(c); the Victims of Crime Act of
1984, as amended, 34 U.S.C. § 20110(e); the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974, as
amended, 34 U.S.C. § 11182(b); and VAWA, as amended, 34 U.S.C. § 12291(b)(13), contain prohibitions
against discrimination on the basis of religion in employment. Despite these nondiscrimination provisions, the
DOJ has concluded that it may construe the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) on a case-by-case
basis to permit some faith-based organizations to receive DOJ funds while taking into account religion when
hiring staff, even if the statute that authorizes the funding program generally forbids recipients from
considering religion in employment decisions. Please consult with the OCR if you have any questions about
the regulation or the application of RFRA to the statues that prohibit discrimination in employment. An
organization that is a recipient of financial assistance subject to the nondiscrimination provisions of the Safe
Streets Act, must meet two obligations: (1) complying with the federal regulation pertaining to the
development of an EEOP (see 28 C.F.R. pt. 42, subpt. E) and (2) submitting to the OCR findings of
discrimination (see 28 C.F.R. §§ 42.204(c), .205(c)(5)). If in the three years prior to the date of the grant
award a Federal or State Court or Federal or State administrative agency makes a finding of discrimination
after a due process hearing against GRANTEE, GRANTEE will forward a copy of the findings to the Office for
Civil Rights, Office of Justice Programs and the COMMISSION.

54. In accordance with DOJ guidance pertaining to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d,
recipients of federal financial assistance must take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their
programs and activities for persons with limited English proficiency (LEP). See U.S. Department of Justice,
Guidance to Federal Financial Assistance Recipient Regarding Title VI Prohibition Against National Origin
Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons, 67 Fed. Reg. 41,455 (2002). For more
information on the civil rights responsibilities that recipients have in providing language services to LEP
individuals, please see the website: Link: Limited English Proficiency A Federal Interagency at
http://www.LEP.gov.
55. GRANTEE agrees to comply with the applicable requirements of 28 CFR Part 38, the Department of
Justice regulation governing "Partnerships with Faith - Based and Other Neighborhood Organizations"(the
"PFNBO"). The PFNBO Regulation provides in part that Department of Justice financial assistance may not
be used to fund any inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization.
Recipients of Department of Justice financial assistance may still engage in inherently religious activities, but
such activities must be separate in time or place from the Department of Justice funded program, and
participation in such activities by individuals receiving services from GRANTEE must be voluntary. The
PFNBO Regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs receiving financial
assistance from the Department of Justice are not permitted to discriminate in the provision of services on the
basis of a beneficiary's religion. Notwithstanding any other special condition of this award, faith-based
organizations may, in some circumstances, consider religion as a basis for employment. Link:
https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/SolicitationRequirements/CivilRightsRequirements.htm#NDPFaith.
56. Requirements pertaining to prohibited conduct related to trafficking in persons (including reporting
requirements and OJP authority to terminate award)
The GRANTEE or subgrantee at any tier, must comply with all applicable requirements (including
requirements to report allegations) pertaining to prohibited conduct related to the trafficking of persons,
whether on the part of recipients, GRANTEES, or individuals defined (for purposes of this condition) as
"employees" of the recipient or of any GRANTEE.
The details of the recipient's obligations related to prohibited conduct related to trafficking in persons are
posted on the OJP web site at http://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/ProhibitedConduct-Trafficking.htm (Award
condition: Prohibited conduct by recipients and GRANTEES related to trafficking in persons (including
reporting requirements and OJP authority to terminate award)), and are incorporated by reference here.
57. GRANTEE should be mindful that the misuse of arrest or conviction records to screen either applicants
for employment or employees for retention or promotion may have a disparate impact based on race or
national origin, resulting in unlawful employment discrimination. As of June 2013 OJP has issued an advisory
that grantees should consult local counsel in reviewing their employment practices. If warranted, grantees
should also incorporate an analysis of the use of arrest and conviction records in their Equal Employment
Opportunity Plan (EEOP). See Advisory for Recipients of Financial Assistance from the U.S. Department of
Justice on the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's Enforcement Guidance: Consideration of
Arrest and Conviction Records in Employment Decisions Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (June
2013), available at http://www.ojp.gov/about/ocr/pdfs/UseofConviction_Advisory.pdf.
58. GRANTEE assures that it will comply with all state and federal laws regarding privacy during the course
of the award. All information relating to clients is to be treated with confidentiality in accordance with 42 USC
section 3789g or 42 USC 14132(b)(3) that are applicable to the collection, disclosure, use and revelation of
data information. GRANTEE further agrees to submit a privacy Certificate that is in accordance with
requirements of 28 CFR Part 22 if applicable to the program.
59. GRANTEE agrees to formulate and keep on file an EEOP (if GRANTEE is required pursuant to 28 CFR
42 Subpart E). GRANTEE certifies that they have forwarded to the Office for Civil Rights, Office of Justice
Programs the EEOP, or certifications that they have prepared and have on file an EEOP, or that they are
exempt from EEOP requirements. Failure to comply may result in suspension of grant funds. Copies of all
submissions such as certifications to or correspondence with the Office for Civil Rights, Office of Justice
Programs regarding this requirement must be provided to the COMMISSION by GRANTEE. In the event a
federal or state court or federal or state administrative agency makes an adverse finding of discrimination
against GRANTEE after a due process hearing, on the ground of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex,
GRANTEE will forward a copy of the findings to the Office for Civil Rights, Office of Justice Programs and the
COMMISSION (see 28 CFR 42.204(c), .205(c)(5)).

GRANTEE will follow local technology policies and guidelines.
63. GRANTEE must promptly refer to the COMMISSION any credible evidence that a principal, employee,
agent, contractor, subgrantee, contractor, subcontractor, or other person has, in connection with funds under
this award, has either 1) submitted a false claim that violates the False Claims Act; or 2) committed a criminal
or civil violation of laws pertaining to fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, gratuity, or similar misconduct. The
COMMISSION shall forward the referral to the Department of Justice, Office of the Inspector General.
64. The COMMISSION encourages GRANTEE to establish workplace safety policies and conduct education,
awareness and other outreach to decrease crashes caused by distracted drivers, including adopting and
enforcing policies banning employees from text messaging while driving any vehicle during the course of

COMMISSION later determines that the GRANTEE has not complied with E-Verify, it will notify the
non-compliant GRANTEE by certified mail of the determination and of the right to appeal the determination.
68. GRANTEE certifies that no federal funds will be paid, by or on behalf of, to any person for influencing or
attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee
of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with the awarding of any Federal

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (we, us or Company) may be required
by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms
and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the
DocuSign system. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can
access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and
Signature Disclosure (ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to
‘I agree to use electronic records and signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the
DocuSign system.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send
to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you
elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time
(usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to
send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a
$0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the
procedure described below.

change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to
receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents
from us.
