By signing and submitting this proposal,the prospective lower tier participant is providing the <br /> certification set out below. <br /> 2. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when <br /> this transaction was entered into. If it is later determined that the prospective lower tier participant <br /> knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal <br /> Government, the department or agency with which this transaction originated may pursue available <br /> remedies, including suspension and/or debarment. <br /> 3. The prospective lower tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the person to which this <br /> proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective lower tier participant learns that its certification was <br /> erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. <br /> 4. The terms"covered transaction,""debarred," "suspended,""ineligible,"`lower tier covered transaction," <br /> "participant," "person," "primary covered transaction,""principal," "proposal,"and"voluntarily excluded," <br /> as used in this clause, have the meanings set out in the Definitions and Coverage sections of rules <br /> implementing Executive Order 12549. <br /> 5. The prospective lower tier participant agrees by submitting this proposal that, should the proposed <br /> covered transaction be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction <br /> with a person who is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible,or voluntarily excluded from participation <br /> in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the department or agency with which this transaction <br /> originated. <br /> 6. The prospective lower tier participant further agrees by submitting this proposal that it will include the <br /> clause title"Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion-Lower <br /> Tier Covered Transactions,"without modification, in all lower tier covered transactions and in all <br /> solicitations for lower tier covered transactions. <br /> 7. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower <br /> tier covered transaction that it is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the <br /> covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A participant may decide the <br /> method and frequency by which it determines the eligibility of its principals. Each participant may check <br /> the Non-procurement List. <br /> 8. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in <br /> order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause.

Except for transactions authorized under paragraph (5) of these instructions, if a participant in a covered <br /> transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended, <br /> debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other <br /> remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency with which the transaction <br /> originated may pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or debarment. <br /> Page 14 <br /> 89 <br />
