<br />below.
<br />2. The certification in this clause is a material representation of the fact upon which reliance was placed when this
<br />transaction was entered into. If it is later determined that the prospective lower tier participant knowingly rendered an
<br />erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the LHD or agency with
<br />which this transaction originate may pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or debarment.
<br />3. The prospective lower tier participant will provide immediate written notice to the person to whom this proposal is
<br />submitted if at any time the prospective lower tier participant learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted
<br />or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
<br />4. The terms "covered transaction," "debarred," "suspended," "ineligible," "lower tier covered transaction," "participant,"
<br />"person," "primary covered transaction," "principal," "proposal," and "voluntarily excluded," as used in this clause,

<br />knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible, or
<br />voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal
<br />Government, the LHD or agency with which this transaction originated may pursue available remedies, including
