DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE OR HISTORICALLY UNDERUTILIZED BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS The Engineer agrees to comply with the requirements set forth in Attachment H, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise or Historically Underutilized Business Subcontracting Plan Requirements with an assigned goal or a zero goal, as determined by the State.
Historically Underutilized Businesses (“HUBs”). In accordance with state law, it is TFC’s policy to assist HUBs whenever possible to participate in providing goods and services to the agency. TFC encourages those parties with whom it contracts for the provision of goods and services to adhere to this same philosophy in selecting subcontractors to assist in fulfilling PSP’s obligations with TFC. If PSP subcontracts with others for some or all of the services to be performed under an Assignment to this Agreement, PSP shall comply with all HUB requirements pursuant to Chapter 2161 of the Texas Government Code. At or prior to the execution of an Assignment with a value that is anticipated to meet or exceed One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), PSP must provide a completed HUB Subcontracting Plan, which shall be approved by TFC prior to execution of the Assignment. A copy of the HUB Subcontracting Form is attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes as Exhibit G. PSP shall provide the HUB Program of TFC with pertinent details of any participation by a HUB in fulfilling the duties and obligations arising under an Assignment, on the HUB Subcontracting Plan Progress Assessment Report (“PAR”). A copy of the PAR Form is attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes as Exhibit H.
Impact direct impact on people does not necessarily require direct contact, for example, environmental health, trading standards and similar officers may have a direct impact on people, through the implementation or enforcement of regulations, without necessarily having direct contact with those who benefit.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures; Deficiencies in or Changes to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act), which (i) are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are being prepared; (ii) have been evaluated by management of the Company for effectiveness as of the end of the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter; and (iii) are effective in all material respects to perform the functions for which they were established. Since the end of the Company’s most recent audited fiscal year, there have been no significant deficiencies or material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company is not aware of any change in its internal control over financial reporting that has occurred during its most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises In connection with the performance of this Agreement, the Municipality/Sponsor shall cause its contractors to cooperate with the State in meeting its commitments and goals with regard to the utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) and will use its best efforts to ensure that DBEs will have opportunity to compete for subcontract work under this Agreement. Also, in this connection the Municipality or Municipality/Sponsor shall cause its contractors to undertake such actions as may be necessary to comply with 49 CFR Part 26. As a sub-recipient under 49 CFR Part 26.13, the Municipality/Sponsor hereby makes the following assurance. The Municipality/Sponsor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of any United States Department of Transportation (USDOT)-assisted contract or in the administration of its Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program or the requirements of 49 CFR Part 26. The Municipality/Sponsor shall take all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR Part 26 to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of the United States Department of Transportation-assisted contracts. The New York State Department of Transportation’s DBE program, as required by 49 CFR Part 26 and as approved by the United States Department of Transportation, is incorporated by reference in this agreement. Implementation of this program is a legal obligation and failure to carry out its terms shall be treated as a violation of this agreement. Upon notification to the recipient of its failure to carry out its approved program, the USDOT may impose sanctions as provided for under part 26 and may, in appropriate cases, refer the matter for enforcement under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986 (31 U.S.C. 3801 et seq.).
Weaknesses By far the biggest weakness in Dundee is the high concentration of deprivation. Of the 179 datazones in the city 53(30%) including 28.9% of the population are in the 15% most deprived according to the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation. The effect of this level of inequality is that Dundee has outcomes in relation to learning, health and employability which are significantly lower than the Scottish average.
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise To the extent authorized by applicable federal laws, regulations, or requirements, the Recipient agrees to facilitate, and assures that each Third Party Participant will facilitate, participation by small business concerns owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, also referred to as “Disadvantaged Business Enterprises” (DBEs), in the Underlying Agreement as follows:
Material Changes; Undisclosed Events, Liabilities or Developments Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Reports, except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(i), (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development that has had or that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to GAAP or disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered its method of accounting, (iv) the Company has not declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of its capital stock and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities to any officer, director or Affiliate, except pursuant to existing Company stock option plans. The Company does not have pending before the Commission any request for confidential treatment of information. Except for the issuance of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement or as set forth on Schedule 3.1(i), no event, liability, fact, circumstance, occurrence or development has occurred or exists or is reasonably expected to occur or exist with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, prospects, properties, operations, assets or financial condition that would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws at the time this representation is made or deemed made that has not been publicly disclosed at least 1 Trading Day prior to the date that this representation is made.

Lender shall have the right from time to time at all times during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to Borrower to examine such books, records and accounts at the office of Borrower or other Person maintaining such books, records and accounts and to make such copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire.

(C) a quarterly and year-to-date comparison of the budgeted income and expenses with the actual income and expenses for such quarter and year to date, together with if requested by Lender, a detailed explanation of any variances between budgeted and actual amounts that are in excess of five percent (5%) for each line item therein.
(v) Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month (and as to rent rolls requested by Lender on an interim basis, within thirty (30) days after Lender’s request therefor), Borrower shall provide to Lender and its servicer a statement (each a “Monthly Statement”) in substantially the form of Schedule 9 hereto, setting forth with respect to the Mortgaged Property

(vii) Borrower shall furnish to Lender, within fifteen (15) Business Days after request, such further information regarding any Plan or Multiemployer Plan and any reports or other information required to be filed under ERISA as may be reasonably requested by Lender in writing.
(viii) At least thirty (30) days prior to the end of each of Borrower’s Fiscal Years, Borrower shall submit or cause to be submitted to Lender for its approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, an Operating Budget for Property Expenses, Capital Improvement Costs, Leasing Commissions, and replacement reserve costs for the next Fiscal Year for the Mortgaged Property. Such Operating Budget may allow for a ten percent (10%) line item variance. Until so approved by Lender for the subsequent Fiscal Year in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 5.1(r)(ix) below, the Operating Budget approved by Lender for the preceding Fiscal Year shall remain in effect for purposes of Section 2.12; provided, that for so long as such prior Operating Budget remains in effect, amounts set forth in the prior Operating Budget with respect to Property Expenses shall be deemed increased with respect to actual increases in Basic Carrying Costs and non-discretionary utility expenditures and shall be deemed increased by three percent (3%) with regard to discretionary items. Promptly following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall submit or cause to be submitted to Lender a Working Capital Budget for the remainder of the Fiscal Year during which such Event of Default occurs and by not later than the end of each of Borrower’s Fiscal Years with respect to the subsequent Fiscal Year.
(ix) Borrower shall submit any proposed Operating Budget in writing sent by recognized overnight delivery service or by registered or certified mail (and simultaneously shall contact the Lender by telephone and by electronic mail) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “First Notice”), requesting Lender’s approval of such Operating Budget. Lender shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrower its written approval or disapproval of the proposed Operating Budget within ten (10) Business Days after Lender shall have received the First Notice. Unless Lender shall have approved the Operating Budget contained in the First Notice, Lender’s approval shall be deemed to be withheld. If Borrower does not receive Lender’s response at the end of such ten (10) Business Days period, Borrower may resubmit its written request to Lender (the “Second Notice”). The Second Notice shall make reference to the First Notice and shall bear the following legend in capital letters: “LENDER’S FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING RECEIPT SHALL BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE LENDER’S CONSENT TO THE OPERATING BUDGET DESCRIBED HEREIN.” If Lender does not approve or disapprove the proposed Operating Budget within ten (10) Business Days after Lender shall have received Borrower’s Second Notice, Lender shall be deemed to have approved the proposed Operating Budget.
(x) Together with the financial statements, rent rolls, operating statements and other documents and information provided to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower under this Section, Borrower also shall deliver to Lender a certification in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, executed on behalf of Borrower by its chief executive officer or chief financial officer (or by the individual Guarantor if the Guarantor is an individual) stating that, to such officer’s or individual’s knowledge, such financial statements, rent rolls, operating statements and other documents and information are true and complete in all material respects.
(xi) For purposes of this Section 5.1(r), all of the financial reporting requirements may be satisfied by the Borrower posting the required deliveries on a secure website reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and sending to the Lender and its servicer each month an electronic mail communication notifying the Lender and its servicer of the linkage to such website; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Lender includes the Loan in a Secondary Market Transaction in which Securities are issued or otherwise changes the identity of its servicer to a Person other than the initial servicer identified to the Borrower as of the Closing Date, then the Lender may require that such deliveries be made to Lender and its servicer in hard copy and on diskette or through electronic mail (including Microsoft Excel format), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act Regulations) that complies with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act Regulations and has been designed by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer and is sufficient to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, including that (A) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (B) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability; (C) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (D) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences; and (E) the interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement is accurate and fairly presents the information called for in all material respects and has been prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto. The systems of internal control over financial reporting of the Company and its Subsidiaries are overseen by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with Nasdaq rules and regulations. Except as described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, since the end of the Company’s most recent audited fiscal year, (i) there has been no material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated), (ii) there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and (iii) the Company has not been advised of (a) any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls that could adversely affect the ability of the Company or any Subsidiary to record, process, summarize and report financial data, or any material weakness in internal controls, or (b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the internal controls of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries.
