effective and efficient manner.
The recipient and project sponsor, if any, will not knowingly allow illegal
activities in any unit assisted with S+ C funds.
A default shall consist of any use of Grant Funds for a purpose other than as
authorized by this Agreement, noncompliance with the Act, Rule, any material
breach of the Agreement, failure to expend Grant Funds in a timely manner, or
