which Purchaser is a party (an “Other Agreement”; together with this Agreement, “ Any
Agreement”), or referenced in Any Agreement, are and shall remain subject to the
provisions of (a) the federal Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. §§ 1341-1351 and 1511-1519
(2004), and D.C. Official Code §§ 1-206.03(e) and 47-105 (2012 Repl.); (b) the District of

not otherwise lawfully available, Purchaser shall not be liable to make any payment under
Any Agreement upon the expiration of any then-existing appropriation.

other natural person or agent of the District of Columbia shall have any personal liability
in connection with a breach of the provisions of this Section or in the event of a default by
Purchaser under Any Agreement.
(d) Neither this Agreement nor any Other Agreement shall constitute an
indebtedness of the District of Columbia nor shall it constitute an obligation for which the
District of Columbia is obligated to levy or pledge any form of taxation or for which the
District of Columbia has levied or pledged any form of taxation.

(e) No agent, employee, contractor or officer of Purchaser is authorized to
obligate or expend any amount under Any Agreement unless such amount has been
appropriated by act of Congress and is lawfully available.
9.22 Not a Contract for Goods or Services. This Agreement is not intended to be, nor
shall it be deemed or cons trued to be a contract for goods or services. Nothing contained in this
Agreement, and no future action or inaction by Purchaser under this Agreement, shall be deemed
or construed to mean that Purchaser has contracted with Seller to perform any activity at the
Property that is not ancillary to the conveyance of an interest in real property. Seller expressly
acknowledges that Purchaser is prohibited by law from entering into contracts for goods and
services without following the procedures set forth in the Procurement Practices Reform Act of

promulgated in connection therewith, “ CFRAA”), a “covered contractor” is prohibited from
making a contribution to a “prohibited recipient” during a “prohibited period” (as such terms are
defined under CFRAA). If Seller is a covered contractor, (i) Seller represents that neither Seller
nor any of its principals has made a contribution to a prohibited recipient during a prohibited
period, and (ii) Seller covenants that neither Seller nor any of its principals shall make a
contribution to a prohibited recipient during a prohibited period

(b) Seller acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any provision herein to the
contrary, under CFRAA Seller may be considered to have breached the terms of this Agreement
if Seller or any of its principals makes a contribution in violation of CFRAA. Seller further
acknowledges and agrees that, i n such event, (i) Purchaser shall have the discretion to terminate
this Agreement; and (ii) Seller may also be disqualified from eligibility for future District of
Columbia government contracts, including the extension or modification of any existing contract,
for a period of four (4) calendar years after the date of determination that a violation under CFRAA
has occurred.
