    • The cover letter template is to be used verbatim.
    • The CFR citations contained in the agreement must be used verbatim.
    • While the agreement’s numbered paragraphs’ text may be modified to suit individual circumstances, the presentation of the information must follow the templates depiction. Use numbered paragraph 10 (and beyond) to address any other provisions not included in the preceding paragraphs.
