ALL SUB GRANTEES OR SERVICE PROVIDERS MUST ALSO CERTIFY THAT THEY DO NOT AND WILL NOT KNOWINGLY PROVIDE MATERIAL SUPPORT OR RESOURCES TO ANY INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY INVOLVED WITH TERRORISM (INCLUDING ANY INDIVIDUALS, ENTITIES, OR GROUPS SUBJECT TO OFAC SANCTIONS) OR TO ANYONE WHO ACTS AS AN AGENT FOR SUCH AN INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY.
