This sworn statement is submitted to:

I understand that a "public entity crime" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(g), Florida Statutes, means
a violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction
of business with any public entity or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the
United States, including, but not limited to, any proposal or contract for goods or services to be provided
to any public entity or an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States and
involving antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material
misrepresentations.
I understand that "convicted" or "conviction" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(b), Florida Statutes,
means a finding of guilt or a conviction of a public entity crime, with or without an adjudication of guilt, in
any federal or state trial court of record relating to charges brought by indictment or information after July
1, 1989, as a result of a jury verdict, non-jury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere.
I understand that an "affiliate" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(a), Florida Statutes, means:
(1) A predecessor or successor of a person convicted of a public entity crime; or
(2) An entity under the control of any natural person who is active in the management of the entity

controls another person. A person who knowingly enters into a joint venture with a person who
has been convicted of a public entity crime in Florida during the preceding 36 months shall be

applies to transact business with a public entity. The term "person" includes those officers, directors,
executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in management
of an entity.
Based on information and belief, the statement which I have marked below is true in relation to the
entity submitting this sworn statement. (Please indicate which statement applies.)
