• Tax Law Section 5-A Section 5-a of the Tax Law, requires certain Contractors awarded State Contracts for commodities, services and technology valued at more than $100,000 to certify to the NYS Department of Taxation and Finance (DTF) that they are registered to collect New York State and local sales and compensating use taxes. The law applies to Contracts where the total amount of such Contractors’ sales delivered into New York State are in excess of $300,000 for the four quarterly periods immediately preceding the quarterly period in which the certification is made, and with respect to any affiliates and subcontractors whose sales delivered into New York State exceeded $300,000 for the four quarterly periods immediately preceding the quarterly period in which the certification is made. A Vendor is required to file the completed and notarized Form ST-220-CA with OGS certifying that the Vendor filed the ST-220-TD with the NYS Department of Taxation and Finance (DTF). Please note that the NYS Department of Taxation and Finance should receive the completed Form ST-220-TD, not OGS. OGS should only receive the Form ST-220-CA. Proposed Contractors should complete and return the certification forms within five (5) business days of request (if the forms are not completed and returned with Vendor Submission). Failure to make either of these filings may render a Vendor non- responsive and non-responsible. Each Vendor shall take the necessary steps to provide properly certified forms within a timely manner to ensure compliance with the law. Website links to the Contractor certification forms and instructions are provided below. Form No. ST- 220-TD must be filed with and returned directly to DTF and can be found at xxxx://xxx.xxx.xx.xxx/pdf/current_forms/st/st220td_fill_in.pdf. Unless the information upon which the ST-220-TD is based changes, this form only needs to be filed once with DTF. If the information changes for the Contractor, its affiliate(s), or its subcontractor(s), a new Form No. ST-220-TD must be filed with DTF. Form ST-220-CA must be submitted to OGS. This form provides the required certification that the Contractor filed the ST-220-TD with DTF. This form can be found at xxxx://xxx.xxx.xx.xxx/pdf/current_forms/st/st220ca_fill_in.pdf. Vendors may call DTF at 000-000-0000 for any and all questions relating to §5-a of the Tax Law and relating to a company's registration status with the DTF. For additional information and frequently asked questions, please refer to the DTF web site: xxxx://xxx.xxx.xx.xxx.

• Cafeteria Plan As of the Benefit Commencement Date, New Parkway or any of its Subsidiaries shall establish a cafeteria plan qualifying under Section 125 of the Code (the “New Parkway Cafeteria Plan”) and health care and dependent care flexible spending reimbursement accounts thereunder in which Transferring Employees who meet the eligibility criteria thereof may be immediately eligible to participate. As soon as practicable following the Benefit Commencement Date, the Cousins Group shall determine the aggregate accumulated contributions to the flexible spending reimbursement accounts under Cousin’s cafeteria plan or Legacy Parkway’s cafeteria plan, as applicable, in which such Transferring Employees participated (the “Cousins Cafeteria Plans”) made during the year in which the Distribution Date occurs by the Transferring Employees less the aggregate reimbursement payouts made for such year up to the day immediately prior to the Benefit Commencement Date from such accounts to such Transferring Employees (the “Net FSA Balance”). If the Net FSA Balance is (a) positive, the Cousins Group shall pay to the New Parkway Group an amount in cash equal to the Net FSA Balance or (b) negative, the New Parkway Group shall pay to the Cousins Group, the absolute value of the Net FSA Balance attributable to Transferring Parkway Employees. New Parkway or its applicable Subsidiary shall cause the balance (whether positive or negative) of each Transferring Employee’s accounts under the Cousins Cafeteria Plans as of the Benefit Commencement Date to be credited to the Transferring Employee’s corresponding accounts under the New Parkway Cafeteria Plan in which such Transferring Employee participates following the Benefit Commencement Date. On and after the Benefit Commencement Date, New Parkway shall assume and be solely responsible for all claims for reimbursement by the Transferring Employees with respect to the plan year that includes the Distribution Date, whether incurred prior to, on or after the Distribution Date, that have not been paid in full as of the Benefit Commencement Date, which claims shall be paid pursuant to and under the terms of the New Parkway Cafeteria Plan. New Parkway agrees to cause the New Parkway Cafeteria Plan to honor, through the end of the calendar year in which the Distribution Date occurs, the elections made by each Transferring Employee under the Cousins Cafeteria Plans in respect of the flexible spending reimbursement accounts that are in effect immediately prior to the Benefit Commencement Date.

• Section 125 Plan The Trustees shall continue the Section 125 plan to allow pretax treatment of the employee’s share of health and dental insurance premiums.

• Section 125-Tax Shelter Tax sheltering of the individual’s contribution for health costs, unreimbursed medical expenses and dependent coverage will be provided, under IRS Section 125. All COG employers must offer the IRS Section 125 tax shelter provided through the COG. If an employee elects to utilize any of the IRS 125 benefits, the administrative cost shall be shared equally between the employee and the employer.

• Reciprocal Compensation Arrangements Pursuant to Section 251(b (5) of the Act

• Safe Harbor The recipient government will then compare the reporting year’s actual tax revenue to the baseline. If actual tax revenue is greater than the baseline, Treasury will deem the recipient government not to have any recognized net reduction for the reporting year, and therefore to be in a safe harbor and outside the ambit of the offset provision. This approach is consistent with the ARPA, which contemplates recoupment of Fiscal Recovery Funds only in the event that such funds are used to offset a reduction in net tax revenue. If net tax revenue has not been reduced, this provision does not apply. In the event that actual tax revenue is above the baseline, the organic revenue growth that has occurred, plus any other revenue-raising changes, by definition must have been enough to offset the in-year costs of the covered changes.

• SHORT-TERM ILLNESS AND INJURY AND LONG-TERM DISABILITY Employees shall be entitled to coverage for short term illness and injury and long term disability in accordance with agreed upon regulations which will be subject to review and revision during the period of this Agreement by negotiations between the Parties and included as Appendix A to this Agreement.

• Pension Contributions While on Short Term Disability Contributions for OMERS Plan Members When an employee/plan member is on short-term sick leave and receiving less than 100% of regular salary, the Board will continue to deduct and remit OMERS contributions based on 100% of the employee/plan member’s regular pay.

• Beneficiary Rollovers from Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plans If you are a spouse Beneficiary, nonspouse Beneficiary, or the trustee of an eligible type of trust named as Beneficiary of a deceased employer plan participant, you may directly roll over inherited assets from a qualified retirement plan, 403(a) annuity, 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity, or 457(b) governmental deferred compensation plan to an inherited IRA.
