evaluate the appropriateness of costs to the Agreement pursuant to State and Federal guidelines (including cost allocation guidelines), as appropriate. This information, when requested, must be provided within thirty (30) calendar days of such request. The Grantee may also be required to submit a cost allocation plan to the Department in support of its multipliers (overhead, indirect, general administrative costs, and fringe benefits). State guidelines for allowable costs can be found in the Department of Financial Services' Reference Guide for State Expenditures at http://www.myfloridacfo.com/aadir/reference guide/. F. i. The accounting systems for all Grantees must ensure that these funds are not commingled with funds from other agencies. Funds from each agency must be accounted for separately. Grantees are prohibited from commingling funds on either a program -by - program or a project -by -project basis. Funds specifically budgeted and/or received for one project may not be used to support another project. Where a Grantee's, or subrecipient's, accounting system cannot comply with this requirement, the Grantee, or subrecipient, shall establish a system to provide adequate fund accountability for each project it has been awarded. If the Department finds that these funds have been commingled, the Department shall have the right to demand a refund, either in whole or in part, of the funds provided to the Grantee under this Agreement for non-compliance with the material terms of this Agreement. The Grantee, upon such written notification from the Department shall refund, and shall forthwith pay to the Department, the amount of money demanded by the Department. Interest on any refund shall be calculated based on the prevailing rate used by the State Board of Administration. Interest shall be calculated from the date(s) the original payment(s) are received from the Department by the Grantee to the date repayment is made by the Grantee to the Department. iii. In the event that the Grantee recovers costs, incurred under this Agreement and reimbursed by the Department, from another source(s), the Grantee shall reimburse the Department for all recovered funds originally provided under this Agreement. Interest on any refund shall be calculated based on the prevailing rate used by the State Board of Administration. Interest shall be calculated from the date(s) the payment(s) are recovered by the Grantee to the date repayment is made to the Department by the Grantee. Section 5. of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: REPORTS: A.

Quarterly reports shall be submitted to the Department's Grant Manager no later than twenty (20) calendar days following the completion of the quarterly reporting period. It is hereby understood and agreed by the parties that the term "quarterly" shall reflect the calendar quarters ending March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. The Department's Grant Manager shall have thirty (30) calendar days to review the required reports and deliverables submitted by the Grantee. B. The Grantee will identify the expected return on investment for this project and provide this information to the Governor's Office of Policy and Budget (OPB) within three months of execution of this Agreement. For each full calendar quarter thereafter, the Grantee will provide quarterly update reports directly to OPB, no later than 20 days after the end of each quarter, documenting the positive return on investment to the state that results from the Grantee's project and its use of funds provided under this Agreement. Quarterly reports will continue until the Grantee is instructed by OPB that no further reports are needed, or until the end of this Agreement, whichever occurs first. All reports shall be submitted electronically to OPB at DEP Agreement No. S0839, Amendment No. 1, Page 3 of 7
