(50%)non-federal match from the Grantee towards the work funded under this Agreement. Therefore,

rejected deliverables will be at the Grantee's sole expense. The Grantee shall only invoice the
Department for deliverables that are completed in accordance with the Project Work Plan. Failure to

the Agreement.In the event the CAP fails to correct or eliminate performance deficiencies by
Grantee,the Department shall retain the right to require additional or further remedial steps,or
to terminate this Agreement for failure to perform.No actions approved by the Department or
steps taken by the Grantee shall preclude the Department from subsequently asserting any
deficiencies in performance. The Grantee shall continue to implement the CAP until all
deficiencies are corrected.Reports on the progress of the CAP will be made to the Department
as requested by the Department Grant Manager.
