Outside Counsel Agreement

This Agreement dated the day of , 2020 between the City of

Jersey City, a municipal corporation, with offices at 280 Grove Street, Jersey City, New Jersey

07302 ("City") and, Porzio, Bromberg & Newman, P.C., 100 Southgate Parkway, Morristown,

NJ 07960 ("Special Counsel"). The Corporation Counsel of the City of Jersey City has selected

Special Counsel to serve as Outside Counsel in connection with Payroll Tax Litigation

In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, the parties agree

as follows:

I. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

A. Initial Conflicts Check.

Outside Counsel must be sensitive both to direct conflicts of interest that representation of the City and other clients poses, and to the less direct, but nevertheless serious, conflicts that may arise from the same firm’s advocacy, on behalf of other clients, of positions conflicting with important City interests. Prior to Outside Counsel’s engagement, Outside Counsel shall carefully review whether any conflicts of either type exist and, if so, bring those conflicts to the attention of the Corporation Counsel. The City shall be promptly informed of and consulted with respect to all potential conflicts. Although issue conflicts may not necessarily result in a disqualification of Outside Counsel, the City shall be consulted before Outside Counsel accepts an engagement that will require the firm to advocate a position that may be adverse to a City legal interest or otherwise prejudicial to the interests of the City. The City in its sole discretion shall, after consultation with Outside Counsel, determine whether an impermissible conflict exists, or whether other circumstances exist that would undermine the public’s confidence if representation by Outside Counsel continued.

Outside Counsel’s acceptance of an engagement on a matter without written disclosure of any conflicts constitutes Outside Counsel’s representation that it has conducted an appropriate conflict check and no conflict exists.

B. City Conflicts.

The City has a duty to protect the public interest. As part of this responsibility, the City sets policies to ensure that the legal system operates in a manner that safeguards the public’s confidence in the integrity and impartiality of its administration. For this reason, in addition to

Page 2 of 18

insisting that its attorneys follow the Rules of Professional Conduct, the City prohibits Outside Counsel that represent the City, while such matter is pending, from:

(1) Representing private parties before the City or any of its boards, proceedings, commissions or autonomous agencies in adversarial, transactional or non-adversarial proceedings. Outside Counsel also may not, on behalf of a private client, lobby the City or any City department.

(2) Representing private parties in any matter in which the City also is a party, if the private party has interests adverse to the City.

(3) Representing a private client with interests adverse to the City.

(4) Representing another client if that representation would present a substantial risk that Outside Counsel’s responsibilities to the City would limit its ability to provide independent advice or diligent and competent representation either to the City or the other client.

(5) Representing another client where the Outside Counsel’s knowledge of the City’s legal positions or strategy, derived from its representation or prospective representation of the City, could be used to the advantage of the other client or the disadvantage of the City.

C. Continuing Obligation.

The obligation to disclose conflicts continues throughout the course of the representation. Outside Counsel must review conflicts of interest on an ongoing basis as new matters are opened. Any new attorney/client relationships that potentially create a conflict shall be reported to the Corporation Counsel immediately.

D. Attorney-Client Privilege Group/No Representation of Other Persons/Entities Absent Approval.

Outside attorneys engaged to represent the City (as opposed to a named person) shall consider themselves to have formed an attorney-client relationship only with the City, and not any of its individual employees. When speaking with current or former employees of the City, Outside Counsel shall, as appropriate, advise those employees that although their dialogue will be considered attorney-client communications to the fullest possible extent, counsel’s responsibility is to the City and they do not represent those employees in their individual capacities. As a matter proceeds, if employees of the City will be examined under oath or interviewed in other adverse contexts, and if Outside Counsel believe it advisable for them to represent the employees in their individual capacities at such events, Outside Counsel must obtain the Corporation Counsel’s advance consent before agreeing to represent such persons in their individual capacities. The Corporation Counsel, in consultation with other City personnel,

Page 3 of 18

will determine if it is appropriate for the individual to receive representation and, if so, by whom.

Outside Counsel who are engaged to represent both an entity and employees of that entity simultaneously shall take all necessary steps to ensure the continuing absence of conflicts, and to preserve their ability to continue representing the entity in the event that conflicts develop between the entity and individual clients.

II. WORKING RELATIONSHIP

A. Identification of Objectives/Relationship Attorney.

The Corporation Counsel or his designee will be Outside Counsel’s principal and regular point of contact for financial and strategic decisions. Only the Corporation Counsel or his designee has authority to direct Outside Counsel in the handling of the matter. If a City employee other than the Corporation Counsel or his designee asks Outside Counsel to proceed in a certain fashion or to perform certain activities with respect to a specific legal matter, Outside Counsel shall report the request to the Corporation Counsel and obtain direction prior to proceeding.

Outside counsel shall designate an Attorney to be the Corporation Counsel’s principal contact. In all matters, the City remains ultimately responsible for making all substantive decisions and determining the costs and benefits of contemplated legal activity. In many matters, City attorneys will act as full co-counsel and be engaged with Outside Counsel in the day-to-day conduct of the case. In matters where Outside Counsel is handling that day-to-day conduct without City personnel as co-counsel, the City shall be consulted on a regular basis throughout the course of Outside Counsel’s engagement and to be kept fully informed of the current status and proposed course of the matters assigned to Outside Counsel’s firm. All strategic, tactical, staffing (including any proposed staffing changes) and significant resource allocation decisions about City legal matters must be made in collaboration with the Corporation Counsel.

B. Early Case Assessment/Cost Assessment.

Each complex matter is to be thoroughly evaluated at its outset. The same applies to actions in which the City is the plaintiff, except that the analysis will be performed before the case is filed. In any matter, Outside Counsel shall provide an early case assessment that includes analysis of (1) likely costs to the City from the process, (2) possible outcomes, indicating the likelihood of each, and (3) strategy and tactics for termination or resolution. The format of the early case assessment may vary from a formal written document to a verbal briefing or a combination of a written budget with a verbal briefing on other aspects of the case.

Please note that time spent preparing a budget is not billable, but counsel may bill for time spent preparing an early case assessment or a recommended discovery plan.

Page 4 of 18

The City places significant reliance on cost estimates and Outside Counsel shall prepare them with care. Although the City understands that unanticipated events may have an impact on costs, the City shall be consulted promptly if Outside Counsel believes that the most recent cost estimate provided is no longer accurate. Should total fees or costs exceed the agreed budget, or should fees or costs for a phase of the case exceed the agreed estimate for that phase, without adequate explanation in advance that the increased expense will be necessary, the City may require that an increased discount be applied to unanticipated fees or costs and reserves the right not to pay Outside Counsel for any amounts incurred or expended in excess of the approved budget or estimate.

For bond matters and other transactional engagements, counsel may be expected to provide a fee cap for the transaction, approved by the City, prior to commencing work. Only where a transaction materially changes in scope will the City consider revisions to an agreed fee cap. No payments above the agreed fee cap shall be made unless and until a revised fee cap has been approved in writing by the Director of the City or his/her designee.

C. Staffing.

Unless otherwise agreed, the senior attorney retained shall be directly and ultimately responsible for the entire assignment. The day-to-day involvement of that senior attorney, however, shall be appropriate to the magnitude of the matter and the efficiency required for a timely, cost effective, quality work product. When a senior attorney can handle an assignment most efficiently (based on skill and experience), that senior attorney shall complete the assignment.

The City shall be billed for only one attorney to attend events such as depositions, witness meetings, settlement conferences, negotiations and meetings with other parties’ counsel. The City recognizes that in more complex matters and those with multiple work-streams, it may occasionally be appropriate for multiple attorneys to attend significant events and for members of the team to consult with each other. The City insists, however, that no more than the minimum number of attorneys necessary to an event attend, that billable internal conferences and charges for drafting and reading internal email correspondence occur only when absolutely required, and that the Corporation Counsel be regularly informed both of the number of attorneys who will attend significant events and the reason for the attendance of each billing timekeeper.

The City believes that it is most efficient for a single attorney or group of attorneys to handle a matter from beginning to end and Outside Counsel shall strive for such continuity. The City will not pay for learning time that may result from staffing changes at Outside Counsel’s firm. In addition, the City will not reimburse Outside Counsel for any routine training or supervisory time, including time spent at seminars, unless specifically approved in advance and included as part of the budget. The City will not ordinarily pay for summer associate time unless such time

Page 5 of 18

has been identified as part of the approved staffing plan for appropriate work. The City will not pay for time submitted by librarians; secretaries; billing, filing, docketing or document clerks; internal messengers/couriers; temporary or clerical support staff; word processors; and IT professionals other than electronic discovery specialists serving a function similar to that of paralegals/case managers. The City also will not pay for time billed by attorneys or paralegals to perform tasks (filing, indexing, etc.) that could and should have been handled by support personnel.

D. Settlement.

Outside Counsel shall have no settlement authority unless and until such authority is explicitly conferred on them by the Corporation Counsel. If Outside Counsel believes that settlement should be pursued, Outside Counsel must seek instructions in this regard from the Corporation Counsel, and not pursue formal or informal settlement discussions without the Corporation Counsel’s approval. Outside Counsel shall immediately inform the Corporation Counsel of any settlement proposal or overture, formal or informal, by the opposing party or counsel. Please note that under no circumstances can the City agree to designate a settlement agreement as confidential. All City settlement records are, by definition, public documents.

E. Media Relations/Law Firm Advertising.

The City does not authorize outside counsel or vendors to comment publicly in any manner on any aspect of the City’s legal matters. All media inquiries relating to the City shall be referred promptly to the Corporation Counsel and discussed with the Corporation Counsel before responding to the media contact in any manner. This includes even “no comment” or other non-substantive responses. If time is of the essence and Outside Counsel cannot reach the Corporation Counsel, the Press Secretary in the Office of the Mayor shall be contacted.

The City does not permit Outside Counsel to advertise or promote their relationship with the City, other than by listing the City as a representative client.

F. Engagement of E-Discovery and Other Vendors, Including Experts.

Before engaging any vendor, including electronic discovery firms and experts, lobbyists or other consultants (in each case, a “vendor”), Outside Counsel must pre-clear that engagement with the Corporation Counsel, unless the Corporation Counsel has explicitly granted exceptions to this preclearance requirement. The City will not be responsible for vendor fees or costs unless that vendor’s engagement was pre-approved by the City. The City may require Outside Counsel to engage vendors with which the City has master contracts or preferred pricing arrangements, and always will insist on engagement of the lowest-cost vendor qualified to handle a task (understanding that complex tasks may require vendors with specialized expertise).

Page 6 of 18

Outside Counsel will pay all third-party service providers directly and will bill the City for those services’ detailed disbursements included in monthly invoices. This City will not accept separate invoices from service providers directly to the City for payment.

Outside Counsel has the responsibility to ensure that there are no conflicts between any vendor and the City. In addition, all vendors must execute the confidentiality agreement attached as Appendix A. The fee and disbursement policies as outlined in this Agreement shall be made available to, and followed by vendors. It is Outside Counsel’s responsibility to confirm that all third party billings comply with this Agreement.

Vendor payment arrangements shall be discussed in advance with the Corporation Counsel. In general, Outside Counsel shall contract with vendors themselves and pay the third party invoices directly, incorporating those invoices into their own bills to the City and including appropriate detail for reasonable review by City personnel. The City may request Outside Counsel to provide full copies of vendor invoices; Outside Counsel therefore shall retain those invoices in accordance with IRS guidelines. The Corporation Counsel may approve other payment arrangements, including (in rare cases) direct contracting with and payment by the City.

When engaging court reporting services, Outside Counsel shall request only one transcript (electronic or hard copy). The City will not reimburse charges for additional transcripts.

G. Adherence to Ethical Standards.

The City conducts itself in accordance with the highest ethical standards and expects the same of its Outside Counsel. No City employee ever has authority to instruct Outside Counsel to act in an unethical manner. If Outside Counsel believes that a City employee has engaged or will engage in illegal or unethical activity, Outside Counsel must immediately advise the Corporation Counsel. The City will terminate its relationship with any Outside Counsel who, in the City’s sole discretion, fails to adhere to the foregoing ethical standards.

At all times, Outside Counsel will remain aware of and in compliance with each of the City’s “Pay-to-Play” ordinances and any amendments thereto.

H. Gratuities.

City officers and employees are prohibited from accepting any gift, favor, service or other thing of value related in any way to the City officer’s or employee’s public duties. In addition, any vendor to the City is prohibited from offering a gift or other thing of value to a City officer or employee with which the vendor transacts business or offers to transact business. Any City officer or employee is prohibited from soliciting a gift or thing of value from a City vendor. This includes charitable donations made in the name of a City employee.

Page 7 of 18

The City reserves the right to amend this Agreement from time to time, providing written notification to Outside Counsel within thirty (30) days of the effective date of any substantive changes. Failure to accept amendments may result in the termination of services from the City.

I. Malpractice Insurance.

Outside Counsel representing the City shall maintain malpractice insurance coverage that is reasonable and prudent in relation to the types and sizes of matters handled. Outside Counsel shall, upon request, promptly provide the Corporation Counsel with copies of any applicable policies required under this section, and/or a certificate of insurance. Each policy provided must be certified by the agent or underwriter to be a true copy. If Outside Counsel does not have coverage or if coverage is cancelled and not immediately replaced with comparable coverage, Outside Counsel must immediately report this to the Corporation Counsel.

J. File Retention.

For Litigated Matters: Outside Counsel shall retain pleadings, correspondence, discovery materials, deposition transcripts and similar documents and work product for a period of no less than seven (7) years from the date the matter is concluded or for the time period specified by rule or law in the jurisdiction in which the matter was pending, whichever is longer. Beyond this period, Outside Counsel shall notify the City in writing no less than sixty (60) days prior to destroying any file. Along with the written notification, Outside Counsel shall submit an inventory of any original City documents contained in the file to be destroyed and a representation that any electronic version of the file will also be destroyed or deleted.

For Bond and Other Transactions, and Advice Matters: Documents shall be retained in accordance with the same policies applicable to litigated matters unless applicable law mandates any longer retention schedule. However, bond counsel and transactional/advice counsel shall retain all transcripts of transactions and memoranda of advice indefinitely unless otherwise directed by the Corporation Counsel.

III. Billing

A. Rates.

Outside Counsel shall be compensated at the rate of $195.00 per hour for attorneys and $145.00 an hour for paralegals, including expenses. The total amount of this agreement shall not exceed $100,000.00.

The City will pay for actual services rendered at rates established in Requests for Qualifications or otherwise agreed to in advance. At the time of Outside Counsel’s initial engagement, Outside Counsel shall furnish the Corporation Counsel with a schedule of billing rates for partners, associates and all other timekeepers expected to bill time against the matter for review and

Page 8 of 18

approval prior to billing time to the City. Because of City procurement rules, the rates applicable at the inception of each specific matter must remain in effect for the duration of that matter.

Hourly rates shall include all overhead costs (see Acceptable Fees/Charges, below), none of which shall be included in disbursements.

Time must be billed in 0.1 hour increments and on a per-task basis. The time entry description must be specific, detailing the action taken and the subject matter. Absent prior consent, the City will not pay for more than ten (10) hours of time by a single timekeeper in a single day, but the Corporation Counsel may increase that number of permissible hours in matters of special urgency or where cases are in or approaching trial.

Outside Counsel shall bear in mind that invoices may be disclosed pursuant to the City’s open records laws and that courts may not sustain assertions of privilege by the City. Although the City will endeavor to redact privileged information before releasing bills for public consumption, Outside Counsel shall, to the extent practicable and consistent with the need to fully inform the City of its activities and to allow the City to evaluate the reasonableness of billing narratives, avoid the inclusion of privileged matter in invoices.

B. Invoicing Policy.

All invoices must be submitted to the Corporation Counsel.

For litigation, advice, and non-bond transactional matters, Outside Counsel generally are expected to submit monthly invoices within thirty days of the conclusion of the billing period, absent the City’s prior consent to a longer delay. All charges must reflect the work performed within the billing period or a reasonable time before the billing period. Absent good cause, as defined by the City, the City will not pay for services or expenses incurred more than 90 days prior to the date the invoice is submitted. For bond matters, Outside Counsel are expected to submit their invoice within thirty days of the conclusion of the transaction.

Absent a specific agreement to an alternative fee arrangement, Outside Counsel fees shall be computed by applying the negotiated hourly rate to the time for the services expended. Hours shown must accurately reflect the time spent on the described activity and must either be the exact amount of time or the exact time rounded down to the nearest one-tenth of an hour. Block billing—grouping multiple activities under a single time charge—will not be accepted, and the City will not pay for any time recorded in a block fashion unless this requirement is waived by the Director of the City of Law or his or her designee.

Every bill from Outside Counsel is deemed to be a certification by the firm and billing partner that all legal services and disbursements reflected on the bill are reasonable for the legal matter

Page 9 of 18

involved and necessary for the proper provision of legal services to the City. The City may deduct certain fees and charges that are inconsistent with this Agreement.

The City reserves the right to audit all fee and disbursement details that Outside Counsel submit, as well as the corresponding legal file. The City will promptly terminate the services of any Outside Counsel whose billing practices raise questions about the Outside Counsel’s integrity, honesty or compliance with the applicable rules of professional conduct or this Agreement.

C. Invoice Format.

Each invoice will include the following minimum requirements:

Unique invoice numberInvoice dateMatter nameOutside Counsel’s matter numberDate(s) services were performedTimekeeper name or IDTimekeeper title or levelA narrative description of the services provided or tasks performed for each specific task. The description shall clearly state the nature of the task performed sufficient to allow the City to determine why it was necessary. Incomplete or vague charge descriptions are unacceptable. Examples of incomplete or vague charges include, but are not limited to: ‘analysis’, ‘review file,’ ‘conference’, ‘attention to matter’; ‘worked on discovery’, ‘work on file’, ‘prepare for meeting’, ‘misc.’, and ‘other’Time entry to the nearest tenth (.10) of an hourTimekeeper rateCharge totalDetail of reimbursable expenses and disbursements at actual cost

The detailed billing report from Outside Counsel’s system will provide this information. If Outside Counsel provides services on more than one matter during a billing period, a separate invoice for each matter is required.

D. Acceptable Fees/Charges.

Overhead charges may not be billed. The City will not reimburse Outside Counsel for basic support services, which the City deems to be part of Outside Counsel’s overhead and built into its rates. The City will not pay for any of the following items under any circumstances:

●Billing inquiries●Opening and closing files

Page 10 of 18

●Internal filing●Secretarial services (including overtime charges)●Word processing or proofreading●Maintenance of a calendar or tickler system●Investigating potential conflicts●Preparing budgets●Library usage (including book purchases or subscriptions) or library staff time●Office supplies●Conference room charges

E. Basic legal research may not be billed.

Outside Counsel shall be familiar with the basic substantive law at issue in the matter for which the firm was retained, and the City shall not be charged for this type of research. If legal research benefits other clients, only the proportionate share of that cost shall be billed to the City. The City shall also benefit from previously prepared briefs and memoranda, and when such briefs or memoranda exist, will pay only for actual time spent updating or tailoring the same. All other anticipated legal research shall be addressed in Outside Counsel’s proposed budget. Legal research projects necessary in a particular litigation assignment must be approved in advance by the Corporation Counsel before the research is commenced.

The City will pay only for the actual time spent by Outside Counsel or other approved timekeeper conducting the research. As explained infra, fees charged by electronic or otherresearch services, including library fees, Westlaw, Lexis and other online services are considered general overheard and are not reimbursable.

F. Out-of-pocket costs must be itemized and passed through with no markup.

The City will reimburse Outside Counsel for reasonable, documented and itemized out-of-pocket disbursements and costs incurred on behalf of the City, with the exceptions and limitations set forth in this Agreement. Outside Counsel’s invoices to the City shall reflect the actual cost and shall not include any markup. All disbursements must be fully itemized with a description sufficient for review, identifying the number of units, price per unit and total cost. The City may refuse to pay for disbursements billed as ‘miscellaneous,’ billed in a group (e.g., Travel Expenses - $4,000.00) or disbursements without descriptions.

G. Prohibited disbursements.

The City considers certain disbursements to be part of a law firm’s overhead and will not pay such charges. These items include:

●Rent (including temporary office space)●Westlaw, Lexis and other legal database services

Page 11 of 18

●Cost or usage of computers or mobile devices or internet service charges●Equipment rental●Storage charges●Catering for internal meetings●Meals (except during business travel, and then limited to $70 per day)●Mileage for short trips (<30 miles one way)●Travel costs exceeding discounted, non-refundable coach fares except where excess costs have been approved in advance●Telephone charges●Facsimile charges●Allocated charges from a firm’s blanket service agreements with outside vendors

H. Copying/scanning.

Copying charges may be billed to the City at the lesser of the most favorable rate applied by Outside Counsel or five cents per page. The City will reimburse for document scanning at Outside Counsel firm’s regular rate, up to a maximum of five cents per page, for document productions, but the City will not pay time charges associated with scanning, and there shall be no charges associated with the scanning and filing of court papers and correspondence. Every effort shall be made to minimize scanning expenses by working with documents in electronic format whenever possible.

I. Couriers and Overnight Mail.

The City will reimburse for actual charges billed to Outside Counsel for deliveries (including overnight express) that are necessary in the interest of speed and reliability. Outside Counsel shall use the lowest cost service consistent with need and reliability, and to arrange schedules, whenever practicable, to avoid the need for premium-priced couriers. Outside Counsel shall use less expensive means, such as email (encrypted, when necessary) or regular mail where it is practical to do so.

J. Travel Expenses.

All air and rail travel must be first approved by the Corporation Counsel, ideally as part of the case budget. Outside Counsel shall use good judgment in selecting hotels and restaurants and incurring expenses for which the taxpayers are to be charged. Outside Counsel shall use alternatives to travel such as conference calls or videoconferences whenever practicable. If the travel involves another client, the City may be billed only for its proportionate share of both time and related expenses. Non-working travel time is not billable without the Corporation Counsel’s prior approval.

K. Reimbursement of Meals for Overnight Travel.

Page 12 of 18

The City will reimburse for meals consumed while traveling overnight on City business, but limited (absent prior approval) to no more than seventy dollars ($70) per person, per day. Under no circumstances will the City reimburse costs for alcoholic beverages.

L. Maintenance of Expense Records.

To ensure compliance with the City’s reimbursement policies, Outside Counsel shall require itemization of out-of-pocket expenses such as airline tickets, meals and hotel bills before making reimbursement to any attorney, employee or third party, and maintain original receipts. Travel and meal expenses and receipts may be audited and shall be retained by Outside Counsel in accordance with applicable IRS guidelines. Unless requested to do so by the City, Outside Counsel shall not forward copies of travel and meal expense receipts to the City with the firm’s invoices.

M. Personal Expenses Not Reimbursable.

Please take care to distinguish between personal expenses and properly chargeable business expenses. The City will not reimburse for, among other things, recreation fees, salon or spa charges, pay-per-view movies or other personal entertainment charges, airline baggage charges, travel agency expenses, shoe shines, toiletries, dry cleaning or laundry (except in the unlikely event travel of more than seven days’ duration is required), or luggage.

N. Vendor discounts must be passed through.

If Outside Counsel receives a discount or rebate from a vendor based on the aggregate level of business with that vendor, such discount shall be disclosed and the City shall receive the benefit on a proportionate basis. This does not include frequent-flyer miles or similar perquisites allocated to individual travelers.

VIII. CONFIDENTIALITY

In the course of representing the City, Outside Counsel will frequently gain access to nonpublic and confidential information. The City requires Outside Counsel to maintain the confidentiality of such information both during and after the course of Outside Counsel’s representation of the City. Outside Counsel must have in place appropriate procedures to ensure the protection of all such information. In the event the representation requires Outside Counsel to become privy to protected personally-identifiable information about any person, such as health or financial records, Social Security numbers or other such information, then this information must be handled with the utmost care both within facilities in Outside Counsel’s control, and certainly when that information is being transported. Under no circumstances shall such confidential information be transported outside Outside Counsel’s offices--either physically or over the public internet--unless the information is appropriately encrypted. In the event information is compromised or potentially compromised, Outside Counsel must notify the City immediately.

Outside Counsel must follow all statutory, regulatory, and ethical provisions relating to privacy, confidentiality and nondisclosure of all privileged, proprietary and confidential information. Outside Counsel must take appropriate measures to ensure that all legal and nonlegal personnel are familiar with this requirement and are effectively supervised in this regard.

Vendors to whom Outside Counsel gives access to confidential or proprietary material of the City (including work product) must sign the confidentiality agreement attached as Appendix A. It is the responsibility of Outside Counsel to obtain a signed confidentiality agreement from each vendor and to retain those agreements.

This Confidentiality Section, and the corresponding Confidentiality Agreement attached as Appendix A, is above and beyond any relationships or privileges held or created separate and apart from this Agreement.

Before final payment on the contract is made by the contracting agency, the contractor shall submit an accurate list and the proof of business registration of each subcontractor or supplier used in the fulfillment of the contract, or shall attest that no subcontractors were used.

For the term of the contract, the contractor and each of its affiliates and a subcontractor and each of its affiliates [N.J.S.A. 52:32-44(g)(3)] shall collect and remit to the Director, New Jersey Division of Taxation, the use tax due pursuant to the Sales and Use Tax Act on all sales of tangible personal property delivered into this State, regardless of whether the tangible personal property is intended for a contract with a contracting agency.

A business organization that fails to provide a copy of a business registration as required pursuant to section 1 of P.L.2001, c.134 (C.52:32-44 et al.) or subsection e. or f. of section 92 of P.L.1977, c.110 (C.5:12-92), or that provides false business registration information under the requirements of either of those sections, shall be liable for a penalty of $25 for each day of violation, not to exceed $50,000 for each business registration copy not properly provided under a contract with a contracting agency.

APPENDIX A

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

____________________ (Subcontractor), as a contractor of Outside Counsel retained by the City of Jersey City (the “City”) pursuant to an “Outside Counsel Agreement” dated ____________________, hereby acknowledges and agrees as follows:

1. All documents and data, including but not limited to financial, statistical, personnel, customer and/or technical documents, owned or supplied by the City to the Subcontractor, shall be treated as confidential (Documents and Data). The Subcontractor shall take all necessary and reasonable precautions to ensure that the City’s Documents and Data are safeguarded. Use of the Documents and Data is strictly limited to that use necessary to complete the scope of work agreed upon, which may include disclosure to employees, officers or agents of any subcontractor assisting with the scope of work. Any other use, and any sale or offering of the Documents and Data in any form by the Subcontractor, or any individual or entity in the Subcontractor’s charge or employ, will be considered a violation of this Confidentiality Agreement and may result in termination of the agreement between Subcontractor and the law firm retained by the City, and the Subcontractor’s suspension or debarment from City contracting. In addition, such conduct may be reported to the appropriate authorities for possible criminal prosecution.

2. Subcontractor shall be responsible to ensure that all agents and individuals or entities in the Subcontractor’s charge or employ adhere to this Confidentiality Agreement. A breach of confidentiality by any individual or entity in the Subcontractor’s charge or employ will be considered a violation of this Confidentiality Agreement by the Subcontractor.

3. In the event that Subcontractor, its agent or any individual or entity in the Subcontractor’s charge or employ receives a subpoena, demand, or other request for any of the City’s documents or data, Subcontractor shall promptly notify the City and shall not turn over any of the City’s documents or data.
