By signing and submitting this form, the prospective participant is providing the certification set out below in accordance with the instructions. 2.

The prospective participant shall submit an explanation of why it cannot provide the certification set out below. The certification or explanation will be considered in connection with the department or agency's determination whether to enter this transaction. However, failure of the prospective participant to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify such person from participation in this transaction. 3.

If it is later determined that the prospective participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department, agency or state government may terminate this transaction for cause or default. 4. The prospective participant shall provide immediate written notice to the department or agency to whom this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective participant learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. 5.
