<br />under this Grant, and transmit the deducted amount to the Department of Labor and Industries, (L&I)
<br />Division of Insurance Services. This provision does not waive any of L&I’s rights to collect from the

<br />C. Default. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, COMMERCE may suspend GRANTEE,
<br />including any subcontractor, upon notice of a failure to participate and cooperate with any state
<br />agency investigation into alleged discrimination prohibited by this Contract, pursuant to RCW
