No, it is just the information you need to properly use the license. 
Like the licensor's name.

You can negotiate whatever arrangements you like with the original 
copyright holder as long as it isn't exclusive (the CC license preculdes 
that). But this is outside the license altogether.

You cannot add conditions to the CC license. I had to explain this to 
someone today at a conference. You can activate the attribution varying 
clauses in the license (for example waiving attribution or requiring 
organisational attribution), but this is use of the license as it 
stands, not an extra agreement.
