acceptance of the Grant through such period. 
5. Maintenance of Tax-Exempt Status. In carrying out the Project, the Grantee shall comply with 
all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. If the Grantee is a 501(c)(3) organization,

6. Termination. The ASPCA may, in its sole discretion (i) withhold payment of funds until in its 
opinion the situation has been corrected or (ii) declare the Grant terminated in any of the following 
circumstances: 
a. If, as the result of the consideration of reports and information submitted to it by the Grantee 
or from other sources, the ASPCA, in its sole discretion, determines that continuation of the 
Project is not reasonably in furtherance of the ASPCA's mission to provide effective means for 
the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States (the "ASPCA Mission") or 
that the Project is not being executed in substantial compliance with the grant request (or work 
plan as revised) or that the Grantee is incapable of satisfactorily completing the work of the 
Project; 
b. In the case of any violation by the Grantee of the terms and conditions of this Agreement; 
c. In the event of any change in, or challenge by the Internal Revenue Service to, the Grantee's

any statement disparaging of, or reflecting unfavorably upon the ASPCA, tarnishes the 
reputation of the ASPCA or is not in alignment with the ASPCA Mission. 
If the ASP CA terminates the Grant, it shall so notify the Grantee, whereupon it, if so requested by the 
ASPCA, shall promptly refund and pay back to the ASPCA any unexpended balance of the Grant 
funds in the Grantee's hands or under its control. 
Upon completion of the Project or termination of this Agreement for any reason, the ASPCA will 
withhold any further payments of Grant funds and the Grantee shall, at the option of the ASP CA, repay 
to the ASPCA any portion of the Grant funds that were not spent for the Project. All such 
determinations by the ASPCA under this Section 6 will be final, binding and conclusive upon the 
Grantee. 
7. Unspent Grant Balance. If the Grantee anticipates not spending or committing to spend the full 
grant amount within the Grant Term, the Grantee may request an extension to allow for more time to 
complete the Project without requesting additional funds. To request an extension, the Grantee must 
login to the ASPCA grants portal at  https://aspca.fluxx.io/ 30 days prior to the grant end date or earlier 
to provide the following: 1) a brief (2-3 sentence) explanation for why the extension is necessary, 2) 
any proposed changes to the Project budget line items, if applicable, and 3) a proposed new end date 
for the grant. 
The ASPCA, in its sole discretion, may approve the extension request and extend the grant term to a 
date different from the Grantee's proposed new end date. If the ASPCA declines the request for an 
extension, or if the Project is completed but carries a balance of unspent funds, the Grantee shall 
promptly refund and pay back to the ASPCA the unexpended balance. 
8. Future Funding. The Grantee acknowledges that the ASPCA and its representatives have made no 
actual or implied promise of funding except for the amounts specified in this Agreement. If any of the 
Grant funds are returned or if the Grant is rescinded, the Grantee acknowledges that the ASPCA will 
have no further obligation to the Grantee in connection with this Grant as a result of such return or 
rescission. 
9. Modification. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be valid, unless made in 
writing and duly executed by the parties hereto. To request a modification, the Grantee must login to 
the ASPCA grants portal at  https://aspca.fluxxio . 
10. Miscellaneous. This Agreement is intended to be binding upon the Grantee and the ASPCA. This 
Agreement represents the final agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereto, 
and supersedes any and all prior agreements, written or oral, between the parties with respect to the 
matters contained herein. This Agreement is not intended to, nor shall it be deemed to create, any 
partnership or joint venture between the Grantee and the ASPCA. This Agreement shall be interpreted, 
governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without 
regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. The parties hereto acknowledge and consent to

proceeding brought in connection with this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed by the 
parties hereto in counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an 
original and all of which shall constitute together the same document. 
If the terms and conditions of this Agreement are acceptable, please sign this Agreement and return it 
to us. By signing this Agreement, you represent and warrant that you are capable of binding the 
Grantee to the terms set forth in this Agreement.
