Two-Party Exchange Participants
Check this box if the Taxpayer intends to participate in two-party exchange transactions. By checking this box the Taxpayer
indicates that it is aware of all two-party exchange requirements as described in Regulations 1123 and 1125 of the Motor

To facilitate valid and enforceable electronic filing of tax returns and reports, the parties agree as follows:
1.
Effective Date, Terms and Amendments: This agreement shall become effective on the date it is acknowledged by the BOE, as
evidenced by the BOE’s letter confirming receipt of a properly completed agreement, and shall continue until terminated by the BOE.
The BOE may terminate this agreement by giving thirty (30) day written notice to the Taxpayer. This agreement may also be terminated
by revocation or cancellation of the Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax or Diesel Fuel Tax license issued by the BOE, if the Taxpayer fails to
comply with reporting and payment requirements of the applicable California state law sections, the Motor Fuels Electronic Filing
Program Handbook and Specifications (E-Filing Guide), or this agreement. It may also be terminated if the Taxpayer no longer
conducts business in the State of California. This agreement may be revised at any time by executing a written addendum signed by
both the Taxpayer and the BOE.
2.
Certification Testing: Submission of this agreement to the BOE indicates the willingness of the Taxpayer to begin electronic filing in a
timely manner. The BOE expects that the Taxpayer will begin certification testing within thirty (30) days of receipt of its Authorization
Code, User ID, and passwords and will exercise due diligence to complete certification testing as swiftly as possible. In no event should
certification testing exceed 120 days unless an extension is granted by the BOE. Upon request from the BOE, the Taxpayer will provide
a timeline for its test process or an update to a timeline already provided. If certification testing is not completed in a timely manner, it
may result in suspension from the Motor Fuels E-Filing Program.
