<br />paid or will be paid, by or on behalf of the
<br />undersigned, to any person for influencing or
<br />attempting to influence an officer or
<br />employee of any agency, a Member of

<br />Congress, or an employee of a Member of
<br />Congress in connection with the awarding of
<br />any Federal contract, the making of any
<br />Federal grant, the making of any Federal
<br />loan, the entering into of any cooperative
<br />agreement, and the extension, continuation,
<br />renewal, amendment, or modification of any
<br />Federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative
