B. E-Verify Online. E-Verify is an Internet-based system that allows an employer, using information reported on an employee’s Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to determine the eligibility of all new employees hired to work in the United States after the effective date of the required Memorandum of Understanding (MOU); the responsibilities and elections of federal contractors, however, may vary, as stated in Article II.D.1.c. of the MOU. There is no charge to employers to use E-Verify. The Department of Homeland Security’s E- Verify system can be found online at http://www.dhs.gov/files/programs/gc_1185221678150.shtm Cc. Enrollment in E-Verify. If the Grantee does not have an E-Verify MOU in effect, the Grantee must enroll in the E-Verify system prior to hiring any new employee after the effective date of this Agreement. D.

The Grantee further agrees to maintain records of its participation and compliance with the provisions of the E-Verify program, including participation by its subcontractors as provided above, and to make such records available to the Commission or other authorized state entity consistent with the terms of the Grantee’s enrollment in the program. This includes maintaining a copy of proof of the Grantee’s and subcontractors’ enrollment in the E- Verify Program (which can be accessed from the “Edit Company Profile” link on the left navigation menu of the E-Verify employer’s homepage). E. Employment Eligibility Verification. Compliance with the terms of the Employment Eligibility Verification provision is made an express condition of this Agreement and the Commission may treat a failure to comply as a material breach of the Agreement.

Neither Party shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform under this Agreement if such delay or failure is neither the fault nor the negligence of the Party or its employees or agents and the delay is due directly to acts of God, wars, acts of public enemies, strikes, fires, floods, or other similar cause wholly beyond the Party’s control, or for any of the foregoing that affects subcontractors or
