<br />Contract, without the prior written approval of the State.
<br />14.3. In the event that Grantee is uncertain whether the appearance of a conflict of interest may
<br />reasonably exist, Grantee shall submit to the State a full disclosure statement setting forth the
<br />relevant details for the State's consideration and direction. Failure to promptly submit a disclosure
<br />statement or to follow the State's direction in regard to the apparent conflict shall be grounds for
<br />termination of the Contract.

<br />supported by Federal funds if a conflict of interest, real or apparent, would be involved. Such a
<br />conflict would arise when:
<br />(a) an employee, officer or agent;
<br />(b) any member of the employee's immediate family;
<br />(c) an employee's partner; or
<br />(d) an organization, which employs, or is about to employ, any of the above,
<br />has a financial or other interest in the firm selected for award. Grantee's or subcontractor's officers,
<br />employees, or agents shall neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value
<br />from Grantee, potential Contractors, or parties to sub-agreements.
