All subawards, regardless of dollar amount, are included in the direct cost base for purposes of computing the indirect cost rate. (B)Base: Total salaries and wages for regular employees. (C) Base: Total salaries and wages for short-term employees. (D) Base: Total salaries and wages for foreign employees. Note: The foreign salaries fringe benefit rates refer to benefits that are paid centrally by The Nature Conservancy's(TNC) headquarters.

Limitations: Use of the rate(s) contained in this agreement is subject to any applicable statutory limitations. Acceptance of the rate(s) agreed to herein is predicated upon these conditions: (1) no costs other than those incurred by the subject organization were included in its indirect cost rate proposal,(2) all such costs are the legal obligations of the grantee/contractor,(3) similar types of costs have been accorded consistent treatment,and(4) the same costs that have been treated as indirect costs have not been claimed as direct costs (for example, supplies can be charged directly to a program or activity as long as these costs are not part of the supply costs included in the indirect cost pool for central administration). B. Audit: All costs (direct and indirect, federal and non-federal) are subject to audit. Adjustments to amounts resulting from audit of the cost allocation plan or indirect cost rate proposal upon which the negotiation of this agreement was based will be compensated for in a subsequent negotiation. C. Changes: The rate(s)contained in this agreement are based on the accounting systemin effect at the time the proposalwas submitted. Changes in the method of accounting forcosts which affect the amount of reimbursement resulting from use of the rate(s)in this agreement may require the prior approval of the cognizant agency. Failure to obtain such approval may result in subsequent audit disallowance. 1). Rate Type: 1. Fixed Carryforward Rate: The fixed carryforward rate is based on an estimate of the costs that will be incurred during the period for which the rate applies. When the actual costs for such period have been determined, an adjustment will be made to the rate for a future period, if necessary,to compensate for the difference between the costs used to establish the fixed rate and the actual costs. 2. Provisional/Final Rate: Within six (6) months after year end, a final indirect cost rate proposal must be submitted based on actual costs. Billings and charges to contracts and grants must be adjusted if the final rate varies from the provisional rate. If the final rate is greaterthan the provisional rate and there are no funds available to cover the additional indirect costs, the organization may not recover all indirect costs. Conversely,if the final rate is less than the provisional rate,the organization will be required to pay back the difference to the funding agency. 3. Predetermined Rate: A predetermined rate is an indirect cost rate applicable to a specified current or future period, usually the organization's fiscal year. The rate is based on an estimate of the costs to be incurred during the period. A predetermined rate is not subject to adjustment. E. Rate Extension: Only final and predetermined rates may be eligible for consideration of rate extensions. Requests for rate extensions of a current rate will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. If an extension is granted, the non-Federal entity may not request a rate review until the extension period ends. In the last year of a rate extension period,the non-Federal entity must submit a new rate proposal for the next fiscal period. F. Agency Notification: Copies of this document may be provided to other federal offices as a means of notifying them of the agreement contained herein. G. Record Keeping: Organizations must maintain accounting records that demonstrate that each type of cost has been treated consistently either as a direct cost or an indirect cost. Records pertaining to the costs of program administration, such as salaries,travel, and related costs,should be kept on an annual basis. H. Reimbursement Ceilings: Grantee/contractor program agreements providing for ceilings on indirect cost rates or reimbursement amounts are subject to the ceilings stipulated in the contract or grant agreements. If the ceiling rate is higher than the negotiated rate in Section I of this agreement,the negotiated rate will be used to deterinme the maximum allowable indirect cost. L Use of Other Rates: If any federal programs are reimbursing indirect costs to this grantee/contractorby a measure other than the approved rate(s)in this agreement, the grantee/contractor should credit such costs to the DocuSign Envelope ID:046AA751-08AA-4EC5-9921-CED5C3AEDC40 Section H. General (continued) affected programs, and the approved rate(s) should be used to identify the maximum amount of indirect cost allocable to these programs. J. Other: 1. The purpose of an indirect cost rate is to facilitate the allocation and billing of indirect costs. Approval of the indirect cost rate does not mean that an organization can recover more than the actual costs of a particular program or activity. 2. Programs received or initiated by the organization subsequent to the negotiation of this agreement are subject to the approved indirect cost rate(s)if the programs receive administrative support from the indirect cost pool. It should be noted that this could result in an adjustment to a future rate. 3. This Negotiation Agreement is entered into under the terms of an Interagency Agreement between the U.S. Department of the Interior and the cognizant agency. No presumption of federal cognizance over audits or indirect cost negotiations arises as a result of this Agreement. 4. Organizations that have previously established indirect cost rates—exclusive of the 10% de minimis rate— must submit a new indirect cost proposal to the cognizant agency for indirect costs within six (6) months after the close of each fiscal year.

Project Abstract AMENDED - APPROVED SCOPE OF WORK The Amended Approved Scope of Work includes all information provided with the amendment application. The attached description, taken from the amendment application, provides a summary of the scope of work approved with this amended grant award. 1 Amendment: RDCGR170068-01-02 Project Description: The Coral Reef Restoration project will grow staghorn and/or elkhorn coral in undersea nurseries located throughout the Florida Keys and boulder corals in a land-based nursery on Summerland Key. The coral will then be outplanted on reefs where they will kick-start reproduction and reef recovery for the future. Approximately 20,000 staghorn and/or elkhorn corals of varying sizes will be outplanted on reefs between Key Largo and Key West.A subset of these will be part of value-added scientific research to help increase the pace and efficiency of future restoration activities.An additional 4,850 small boulder corals will restore dead coral heads using an innovative re-skinning technology. The project scope of work did not initially include boulder corals of the genus Pseudodiploria. The reason these were not included in the original proposal is that the field of coral restoration is rapidly evolving and while these species were not in production at any notable scale at the time of application,the partners are now producing them at a level at which they can be incorporated into restoration.Additionally, restoration in the Keys started in an effort to enhance mainly staghorn (Acropora cervicornis)but also elkhorn (Acropora palmata)populations as they were the only two species listed at the time as threatened under the Endangered Species Act and other corals seemed to be doing relatively well in comparison.Now, following Hurricane Irma and the Stony Coral Tissue Loss outbreak,many of the boulder coral species also need more dramatic intervention. The vision for restoration has shifted from species recovery to ecosystem restoration, and the introduction of boulder coral species is an important step in that shift. Milestones: The timeframes have been updated to reflect the six-month extension to the period of performance and allows for Mote and FWC to complete the outplanting and the associated 3-month monitoring, and TNC and Monroe County's completion of subrecipient closeout activities and closeout of grant award.

August 2017 Page 34 3. Permittina Reauirements Prior to receiving Treasury authorization to start construction,the recipient must furnish evidence, satisfactory to Treasury,that recipient has received all federal, state and local permits necessary for the completion of the project. 4. Federal Interest in Real Property "Federal interest" refers to real property that is acquired or improved, in whole or in part, with RESTORE Act Direct Component funds,which must be held in trust by the Recipient for the benefit of the project for the Estimated Useful Life of the project, during which period Treasury retains an undivided equitable reversionary interest in the real property(i.e.,the"federal interest"). 5. Estimated Useful Life Property that is acquired or improved, in whole or in part,with federal assistance is held in trust by the recipient for the purpose(s)for which the award was made for the Estimated Useful Life. Estimated Useful Life means the period of years that constitutes the expected useful lifespan of a project, as determined by Treasury, during which Treasury anticipates obtaining the benefits of the project pursuant to project purposes authorized by the RESTORE Act. For this award the recipient has proposed an Estimated Useful Life from the date of construction completion.Treasury's issuance of the grant agreement represents its concurrence with the recipient's proposed Estimated Useful Life. The recipient's obligation to the federal government continues for the Estimated Useful Life of the project, as determined by Treasury, during which Treasury retains an undivided equitable reversionary interest(the"federal interest") in the property improved, in whole or in part,with the Treasury investment. If Treasury determines that the recipient has failed or fails to meet its obligations under the terms and conditions of this award, Treasury may exercise its rights or remedies with respect to its federal interest in the project. However, Treasury's forbearance in exercising any right or remedy in connection with the federal interest does not constitute a waiver thereof. 6. Commencement of Construction The recipient should not commence construction prior to the date of the Award. The recipient must make a written request to Treasury for permission to commence construction after the construction contractor has been selected and at least 30 days prior to construction. For project costs to be eligible for Treasury reimbursement, Treasury must determine that the award of all contracts with associated costs are in compliance with the scope of the project and all terms and conditions of this award, and all necessary permits have been obtained, and the federal interest is secure. No construction funds may be drawn from ASAP without Treasury's written permission. If the recipient commences construction prior to Treasury's determination,the recipient proceeds at its own risk. Treasury will only review contract amendments or change orders which change the scope of a contract. 7. Use of Real Property Encumbering real property on which there is a federal interest without prior Treasury approval is an unauthorized use of the property and of project trust funds under this August 2017 Page 35 award. See 2 C.F.R. §200.316. Real property or interest in real property may not be used for purposes other than the authorized purpose of the award without the express, prior written approval of Treasury, for as long as the federal government retains an interest in the property. The property must not be sold, conveyed,transferred, assigned, mortgaged, or in any other manner encumbered except as expressly authorized in writing by Treasury. The recipient must maintain facilities constructed or renovated with grant funds in a manner consistent with the purposes for which the funds were provided for the duration of the Estimated Useful Life. In the event that the real property or interest in real property is no longer needed for the originally authorized purpose,the recipient must obtain disposition instructions from Treasury consistent with 2 C.F.R. §200.311. 8. Recordina the Federal Interest in the Real Property To document the federal interest,the recipient agrees to prepare and properly record a "Covenant of Purpose, Use and Ownership" (Covenant), or, where a subrecipient is the title owner, to ensure that the subrecipient prepares and properly records a "Covenant of Purpose, Use and Ownership" (Covenant) on the property acquired or improved with federal assistance funds. See 2 C.F.R. § 200.316. This Covenant does not establish a traditional mortgage lien in that it does not establish a traditional creditor relationship requiring the periodic repayment of principal and interest, or the ability of Treasury to foreclose on the real property at any time. Rather, pursuant to the Covenant,the recipient and/or the subrecipient, as applicable, acknowledges that it holds title to the real property in trust for the public purposes of the financial assistance award and agrees, among other commitments,that it will repay the federal interest if it disposes of or alienates an interest in the real property, or uses it in a manner inconsistent with the public purposes of the award, during the Estimated Useful Life of the property. a. The Covenant must be satisfactory in form and substance to Treasury, must include the name and current address of the recipient and subrecipient(if applicable), the grant award number,amount and date of award and subrecipient agreement(if applicable),date of the purchase of property(if applicable), and the Estimated Useful Life of the project. It must also include statements that the real property will only be used for purposes consistent with the RESTORE Act;that it will not be mortgaged or used as collateral, sold or otherwise transferred to another party, without the written permission of Treasury; and that the federal interest cannot be subordinated, diminished, nullified or released through encumbrance of the property, transfer of the property to another party or any other action the recipient/subrecipient takes without the written permission of Treasury. b. The recipient agrees to provide to Treasury an attorney's title opinion as to the title owner of the property,and to properly record, in accordance with applicable law, the Covenant in the real property records in the jurisdiction in which the real property is located in order to provide public record notice to interested parties that there are certain restrictions on the use and disposition of the real property during its Estimated Useful Life, and that Treasury retains an undivided equitable reversionary interest in the real property to the extent of its participation in the project for which funds have been awarded. c. Treasury requires an opinion of counsel forthe recipient to substantiate that the document has been properly recorded. d. Failure to properly and timely file and maintain documentation of the federal interest may result in appropriate enforcement action, including, but not limited to, disallowance of the cost of the acquisition or improvement by Treasury. August 2017 Page 36 e. The Federal Interest must be perfected and recorded/filed in accordance with state and/or local law concurrent with the acquisition of the real property, where an award includes real property acquisition, and for construction of buildings and projects to improve the real property, no later than the date construction and/or improvement work commences. f. When the Estimated Useful Life of the project is ended,the federal interest is extinguished and the federal government has no further interest in the real property. 9. Administration.Operation and Maintenance The recipient agrees to administer, operate, and maintain the project for its Estimated Useful Life in the same manner in which it operates and maintains similar facilities and equipment owned by it, and in accordance with state and local standards, laws and regulations. The recipient must not be in breach of its obligations under this award except to the extent the failure to fulfill any obligation is due to an Uncontrollable Force. "Uncontrollable Force" means an event beyond the reasonable control of, and without the fault or negligence of,the party claiming the Uncontrollable Force that prevents the recipient from honoring its contractual obligations under this Agreement and which, by exercise of the recipient's reasonable care, diligence and foresight,such recipient was unable to avoid. Uncontrollable Forces include, but are not limited to: a. Strikes or work stoppage; b. Floods, earthquakes, or other natural disasters;terrorist acts; and c. Final orders or injunctions issued by a court or regulatory body having competent subject matter jurisdiction which the recipient, claiming the Uncontrollable Force, after diligent efforts,was unable to have stayed, suspended, or set aside pending review by a court of competent subject matter jurisdiction. Neither the unavailability of funds or financing, nor conditions of national or local economies or markets must be considered an Uncontrollable Force. 10. Reportina Reauirement The recipient must complete and submit to Treasury a report on the status of the real property or interest in real property in which the federal government retains an interest, using a SF-429 Real Property Status Report form annually for the first three years of a federal award and thereafter every five years until the end of the Estimated Useful Life or time of disposition,whichever is less. All reports must be for the period ending December 31, or any portion thereof, beginning with the year of the award, and are due no later than 30 days following the end of the reporting period. 11. Insurance The recipient must, at a minimum, provide the equivalent insurance coverage for real property improved with federal funds as provided to property owned by the recipient state, county or parish, in compliance with 2 C.F.R. §200.310. 12. Bondina a. For construction or facility improvement contracts or subcontracts exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold,the recipient or pass-through entity may request in writing that Treasury accept its bonding policy and requirements.

For all other recipients and pass-through entities,the minimum requirements for construction or facility improvement contracts or subcontracts exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold are as follows: A bid guarantee from each bidder equivalent to five percent of the bid price. The "bid guarantee" must consist of a firm commitment such as a bid bond, certified check, or other negotiable instrument accompanying a bid as assurance that the bidder will, upon acceptance of the bid, execute such contractual instruments as may be required within the time specified. b. A performance bond on the part of the contractor for 100 percent of the contract price.A"performance bond" is one executed in connection with a contract to secure fulfillment of all the contractor's obligations under such contract. c. A payment bond on the part of the contractor for 100 percent of the contract price.A"payment bond" is one executed in connection with a contract to assure payment as required by law of all persons supplying labor and material in the execution of the work provided for in the contract. 13.
