commercial similar items together as a single classification. If doubt exists as to the proper classification of any item, list that item separately and insert the commonly accepted trade name at the top right-hand corner of the page. Where forms overlap, the contractor may use the form best suited, except that finished components should be put on Form 2b and not on Form 2c.

classification designated "No value," and no further classification of such items is required. For items deemed to have commercial value, use a new sheet for each classification (except as permitted under paragraph 6 above). Insert the name of the classification in the top right-hand corner of the inventory form and arrange the items falling under that classification in sequence under separate subheadings. For example, on the sheet or sheets used to list Chemicals, group separately all acids, all alkalis, all resins, etc. Under the general classification of insulated wire and cable, group separately all asbestos-insulated copper wire, all rubberinsulated copper wire, all magnet wire, etc. On the sheets used for drugs, group separately all antitoxins, all vaccines, all strychnine derivatives, all morphine derivatives, etc.

10. On Form 2c-Work in process. No classification of items is required on this schedule. However, a description must be given sufficient to enable the Government representative to identify the property and determine the appropriate method of disposal. Finished components should not be listed on this form but on Form 2b. Other materials which have not lost their identity through whole or partial assembly and which are deemed to have a further commercial use should similarly be listed on Form 2b.

11. On Form 2d-Dies, jigs, fixtures, etc., and special tools. Note that on this form items having no commercial value may be placed in a single classification designated "No Commercial Value." Such items require no further classification. For items deemed to have commercial value, general classifications may be limited to the following:

Use a new sheet for each such general classification (except as permitted under paragraph 6 above). Insert the name of the classification in the top right-hand corner, and list the items falling under that classification in sequence. For example, on the sheet used to list Dies, group separately all Extruding Dies, all Forging Dies, all Forming Dies, etc. On the sheet used for Gauges, group separately all Thread Gauges, all Radius Gauges, all Depth Gauges, etc.

12. If perishable tools are charged to indirect factory expense, they may not also be included in termination inventory. Where, however, indirect factory expense is adjusted to exclude such a charge, or where the perishable tools are charged directly to the contract, they should be included in the inventory, but should be listed on Form 2b and not 2d.

CERTIFICATE

The undersigned, individually and as an authorized representative of the contractor, certifies that he has examined this Settlement Proposal and that, to the best of his knowledge and belief: (1) AS TO CONTRACTOR'S OWN CHARGES The Proposed Settlement (exclusive of charges set forth in Item 14) and supporting schedules and explanations have been prepared from the books of account and records of the contractor in accordance with recognized commericial accounting practices; they include only those charges allocable to the terminated portion of this contract; they have been prepared with knowledge that they will, or may, be used directly or indirectly as the basis of settlement of a claim or claims against the United States or an agency thereof; and the charges as stated are fair and reasonable. (2) AS TO SUBCONTRACTORS' CHARGES— (a) The contractor has examined, or caused to be examined, to an extent it considers adequate in the circumstances, the claims of its immediate subcontractors (exclusive of claims filed against such immediate subcontractors by their subcontractors); (b) the settlements on account of immediate subcontractors' own charges are fair and reasonable, said charges are allocable to the terminated portion of this contract and said settlements were negotiated in good faith and are not more favorable to its immediate subcontractors than those which the contractor would make if reimbursement by the Government were not involved; (c) the contractor

has received from all its immediate subcontractors appropriate certificates with respect to their claims, which certificates, if the claims are for more than $1,000, are substantially in the form of this certificate; and (d) the contractor has no knowledge leading it to doubt (i) the reasonableness of the settlements with more remote subcontractors or (ii) that the charges for them are allocable to this contract. Upon receipt by the contractor of amounts covering settlements with its immediate subcontractors, the contractor will pay or credit them promptly with the amounts so received, to the extent that it has not previously done so. The term subcontractor as used above includes suppliers.

The undersigned certifies that to the best of his knowledge and belief the statements with respect to accounting matters made in the above Certificate are true.
