INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR COMPETITORS
Please list the principal competitors offering the same or similar service or manufacturing a similar or identical product, regardless of where they
are located, but only those who are selling in the market area you have indicated in section 9 above, where you intend to sell. Also indicate the
location of your competitors' plants from which he is most likely to be serving your market area. If your market is national, omit a listing of
competitors' shipping points.
NOTE: In terms of the following listing, a competitor should be considered an enterprise offering essentially similar services or products. Thus,
a summer resort providing golf, swimming and tennis is not competitive with a winter resort offering only skiing and skating. By the same token,
gypsum board and particle board are not considered competitive with plywood, nor wood furniture with metal furniture.

entity under direct, indirect or common control with applicant.)
a. New Business Venture. This project is a new business venture unrelated to existing business facilities, and that the applicant is not a company
related to an existing business facility. (NOTE: If applicant or a related company has ceased or substantially reduced operations during the 24
months preceding the date of this request, the information required by Section 12 below must be attached.)
b.

c.

12.

Applicant or Related Company with Business Facility at Another Location. Applicant has attached __________ pages containing the
information required by section 12 of this form concerning business operations conducted by the Applicant or by a related company at
other locations than the location of the proposed project. Applicant has included business operations which have ceased or have been
substantially reduced during the 24 months preceding the date of this request if such operations were conducted by Applicant or a related
company.
It is not the intention of the Applicant or any related company to relocate any present operation as a result of the proposed Project; that
to the extent said Project is undertaken to assist in the expansion of the operations of Applicant through the establishment of a new
branch, affiliate or subsidiary of Applicant, such expansion will not result in an increase of unemployment in the area of original location
or in any area where Applicant or any related company now conducts related business operations; that any such expansion is not being
undertaken with the intention of closing down or curtailing any existing operations of Applicant or of any related company; and that such
Project is not being undertaken with the intention of performing as contractor or subcontractor work heretofore performed by Applicant
or a related company, the transfer of which work would result in the transfer of employment opportunities from one location to another
and an increase in unemployment at the previous location of such work.
I agree further that if within one year of the commencement of operations of the Project for which the United States Department of
Agriculture ("Agency") has made a grant, loan, or guarantee, there should occur a significant and related decline in employment in a
present location or locations conducted by Applicant or a related company, the lender, pursuant to instructions from the Agency, shall
liquidate the loan or accelerate the repayment of any financial assistance guaranteed, insured, or provided by the Agency. I understand
that there shall arise a rebuttable presumption that a decline in employment in a present location or locations is significant and related to
the Agency assistance to the Project, if the reduction in average employment in present facilities and location is equal to (a) 50% for all
locations or (b) 25% for one location, of the level of employment in this Agency assisted Project. These understandings and agreements
are applicable to all transferees and successors in interest.
The information required by this section must be supplied if Applicant or a related company now conducts business operations at a location other
than the location of the proposed Project, or if Applicant or a related company has ceased or substantially reduced operations within the
24 months preceding the date of this application. A separate sheet of paper should be used for each location. Give the following information:
(l) Name of company, (2) Full address of site on which business operations are or were conducted, (3) Relationship of Applicant to business entity
conducting operation, (4) Brief description of articles produced or services provided at location, (5) Underline production articles or services
provided which are similar to articles to be produced or services to be provided by the proposed Project, (6) Average number of persons employed
