<br />(d) an organization, which employs, or is about to employ, any of the above,

<br />REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
<br />15. Warranties. During the term of this contract and for a period of twelve months following the State's
<br />final acceptance under this contract, Contractor warrants as follows:
<br />15.1 All Services under this Contract shall be performed in accordance with the specifications set forth in
<br />this contract and Exhibit A and in a manner acceptable to the State. Contractor shall re-perform
<br />any Services that fail to satisfy this warranty.
<br />15.2 All deliverables delivered under this contract by Contractor shall meet the specifications set forth in
<br />this contract and Exhibit A. Contractor shall correct or replace any deliverables which fail to satisfy
<br />this warranty.
<br />The foregoing warranties and such other warranties as may be set forth in Exhibit A, Scope of Work, are
<br />a part of the minimum work requirements of this contract, and as such will be at no additional cost to the
<br />State.
<br />16. Licenses, Permits, and Responsibilities
<br />Contractor certifies that, at the time of entering into this contract, it has currently in effect all necessary
<br />licenses, certifications, approvals, insurance, permits, and other authorizations required to properly
<br />perform the Services and/or deliver the Goods covered by this contract. Contractor warrants that it shall
<br />maintain all necessary licenses, certifications, approvals, insurance, permits, and other authorizations
<br />required to properly perform this contract, without reimbursement by the State or other adjustment in
<br />contract price. Additionally, all employees of Contractor performing services under this contract shall hold
<br />the required licenses or certification, if any, to perform their responsibilities. Contractor, if a foreign
<br />corporation or other entity transacting business in the State of Colorado, further certifies that it currently

<br />revocation, withdrawal or non-renewal of licenses, certifications, approvals, insurance, permits or any
<br />such similar requirements necessary for Contractor to properly perform this contract, shall be deemed to
<br />be a default by Contractor and grounds for termination of this contract by the State.
<br />17. Tax Exempt Status
<br />Contractor acknowledges that the State of Colorado is not liable for any sales, use, excise, property or
<br />other taxes imposed by any Federal, State or local government tax authority. The State also is not liable

<br />18. Legal Authority
<br />Contractor warrants that it possesses the legal authority to enter into this contract and that it has taken all
<br />actions required by its procedures, by-laws, and/or applicable laws to exercise that authority, and to
<br />lawfully authorize its undersigned signatory to execute this contract and to bind Contractor to its terms.
