ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF BUYBOARD TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Vendor shall review the BuyBoard Technical Requirements included in this Proposal Invitation. By signature on the Compliance
Forms Signature Page, the undersigned affirms that Proposer has obtained a copy of the BuyBoard Technical Requirements,
has read and understands the requirements,and certifies that Vendor is able to meet and will comply with those requirements
except as follows: [List and explain BuyBoard Technical Requirements, if any, to which your company canno or will nat
comply.]
Note: In accordance with the General Terms and Conditions of the Contract, to the extent Vendor is awarded a Contract
under this Proposal Invitation but is unable or unwilling to meet the applicable BuyBoard Technical Requirements, the
information available on the BuyBoard for Vendor's awarded products or services may be limited, potentially placing Vendor
at a disadvantage and impacting the ability of Cooperative members to search, find, review, and purchase Vendor's awarded
products and services on the BuyBoard website. Further, to the extent Vendor has acknowledged ability to meet and comply
with the BuyBoard Technical Requirements, any subsequent failure or refusal by Vendor to promptly provide information
upon request to the Cooperative administrator in accordance with those technical requirements may be deemed an event of
default under the Contract.
CONSTRUCTION-RELATED GOODS AND SERVICES AFFIRMATION
The Cooperative issued the BuyBoard Procurement and Construction-Related Goods and Services Advisory for Texas Members
("Advisory's, which provides information specifically relevant to the procurement of construction-related goods and services
by Texas Cooperative members. The Advisory, available at.buyboard.com/Vendor/Resources.aspx, provides an overview of
certain legal requirements that are potentially relevant to a Cooperative member's procurement of construction or
construction-related goods and services, including those for projects that may involve or require architecture, engineering or
independent testing services. A copy of the Advisory can also be provided upon request. Because many BuyBoard contracts
include goods or installation services that might be considered construction-related, Proposer must make this Construction
Related-Goods and Services Affirmation regardless of type of goods or services associated with this Proposal Invitation.
A contract awarded under this Proposal Invitation covers only the specific goods and/or services awarded by the Cooperative.
As explained in the Advisory ("Advisory"), Texas law prohibits the procurement of architecture or engineering
services through a purchasing cooperative. This Proposal Invitation and any Contract awarded thereunder
does not include such services. Architecture or engineering services must be procured by a Cooperative
member separately, in accordance with the Professional Services Procurement Act (Chapter 2254 of the Texas
Government Code) and other applicable law and local policy.
By signature on the Compliance Forms Signature Page, Proposer affirms that Proposer has obtained a copy of the Advisory,
has read and understands the Advisory, and is authorized by Proposer to make this affirmation. If Proposer sells construction-
related goods or services to a Cooperative member under a Contract awarded under this Proposal Invitation, Proposer will
comply with the Advisory and applicable legal requirements, make a good faith effort to make its Cooperative member
customers or potential Cooperative member customers aware of such requirements, and provide a Cooperative member with
a copy of the Advisory before accepting the member's Purchase Order, Member Construction Contract, or other agreement
for construction-related goods or services.

stated in the Notice and end on the expiration date of the Underlying Award, subject to annual renewals as authorized in
writing by the BuyBoard Administrator. Vendor agrees that no further signature or other action is required of Vendor in order
for the Piggy-Back Award and this Agreement to be binding upon Vendor. Vendor further agrees that no interlineations or
changes to this Agreement by Vendor will be binding on National Cooperative, unless such changes are agreed to by its
BuyBoard Administrator in writing.
3. Vendor agrees that it shall offer its goods and services to National Cooperative members at the same unit pricing and
same general terms and conditions, subject to applicable state laws in the state of purchase, as required by the Underlying
Award. However, nothing in this Agreement prevents Vendor from offering National Cooperative members better(i.e., lower)
competitive pricing and more favorable terms and conditions than those in the Underlying Award.

of this Proposal Invitation. Any changes to the states designated on the State Service Designation Form must be approved
in writing by the BuyBoard Administrator.

Vendor shall provide National Cooperative with copies of all purchase orders generated from National Cooperative members,
vendor invoices, and/or such other documentation regarding those purchase orders as the Cooperative's administrators may
require in their reasonable discretion for purposes of reviewing and verifying purchase activity. Vendor further agrees that
National Cooperative shall have the right, upon reasonable written notice,to review Vendor's records pertaining to purchases
made by National Cooperative members in order to verify the accuracy of service fees.
6. Vendor agrees that the Underlying Award, including its General Terms and Conditions, are adopted by reference to the
fullest extent such provisions can reasonably apply to the post-proposal/contract award phase.The rights and responsibilities
that would ordinarily inure to the Texas Cooperative pursuant to the Underlying Award shall inure to National Cooperative;
