ATTACHMENT B - DISCLOSURE EXEMPTION AFFIDAVIT

__________ (Affiant), being first duly sworn under oath, and representing

_____________ (hereafter "Proposer"), hereby deposes and swears or affirms under penalty of perjury that:

1. I am an employee of the Proposer, I have knowledge of the Request for Proposals referenced herein, and I have full authority from the Proposer to submit this affidavit and accept the responsibilities stated herein.

2. I am aware that the Proposer has submitted a Proposal, dated on or about ______ (the

I understand that the Proposal is a public record held by a public body and is subject to disclosure under the Oregon Public Records Law unless specifically exempt from disclosure under that law.

4. I have reviewed the information contained in the Proposal. The Proposer believes the information listed in Exhibit A is exempt from public disclosure ( collectively, the "Exempt Information"), which is incorporated herein by this reference. It is my opinion that the Exempt Information is exempt from disclosure under Oregon's Public Records Law under the specifically designated sections as set forth in Exhibit A or constitutes "Trade Secrets" under either the Oregon Public Records Law or the Uniform Trade Secrets Act as adopted in Oregon because that information is either:

A. A formula, plan, pattern, process, tool, mechanism, compound, procedure, production data, or compilation of information that:

i. is not patented,

ii. is known only to certain individuals within the Proposer's organization and that is used in a business the Proposer conducts,

iii. has actual or potential commercial value, and

iv. gives its user an opportunity to obtain a business advantage over competitors who do not know or use it.
