By Signing Below, You Make the Following Representations and Certifications on Behalf of the Borrower:
The Authorized Representative of the Borrower certifies to all of the below by initialing next to each one. The terms “payroll” and

Borrowers that applied for loans using SBA Form 2483-C or 2483-SD-C.

The dollar amount for which forgiveness is requested (which does not exceed the principal amount of the PPP loan):
• was used to pay business costs that are eligible for forgiveness (payroll costs to retain employees; business mortgage
interest payments; business rent or lease payments; business utility payments; covered operations expenditures;
covered property damage costs; covered supplier costs; or covered worker protection expenditures);
• includes payroll costs equal to at least 60% of the forgiveness amount; and
• for any owner-employee (with an ownership stake of 5% or more) or self-employed individual/general partner, does
not exceed 2.5 months’ worth of compensation received during the year used to calculate the PPP loan amount,
capped at $20,833 per individual in total across all businesses.
I understand that if the funds were knowingly used for unauthorized purposes, the federal government may pursue recovery
of loan amounts and/or civil or criminal fraud charges.
The Borrower did not reduce salaries or hourly wages of any employee by more than 25 percent for any employee during the
Covered Period compared to the most recent quarter before the Covered Period. For purposes of this certification, the term
“employee” includes only those employees that did not receive, during any single period during 2019, wages or salary at an
annualized rate of pay in an amount more than $100,000.
The Borrower has accurately verified the payments for the eligible payroll and nonpayroll costs for which the Borrower is
requesting forgiveness.

I have submitted to the Lender the required documentation verifying payroll costs, the existence of obligations and service
(as applicable) prior to February 15, 2020, and eligible business mortgage interest payments, business rent or lease payments,
business utility payments, covered operations expenditures, covered property damage costs, covered supplier costs, and
covered worker protection expenditures.
If this application is being submitted for a Second Draw PPP Loan, the Borrower used all First Draw PPP Loan amounts on
eligible expenses prior to disbursement of the Second Draw PPP Loan.
The information provided in this application and the information provided in all supporting documents and forms is true and
correct in all material respects. I understand that knowingly making a false statement to obtain forgiveness of an SBAguaranteed loan is punishable under the law, including 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 3571 by imprisonment of not more than five years
and/or a fine of up to $250,000; under 15 U.S.C. 645 by imprisonment of not more than two years and/or a fine of not more
than $5,000; and, if submitted to a Federally insured institution, under 18 U.S.C. 1014 by imprisonment of not more than
thirty years and/or a fine of not more than $1,000,000.
The tax documents I have submitted to the Lender (if applicable) are consistent with those the Borrower has submitted
or will submit to the IRS and/or state tax or workforce agency. I also understand, acknowledge, and agree that the
Lender can share the tax information with SBA’s authorized representatives, including authorized representatives of
the SBA Office of Inspector General, for the purpose of ensuring compliance with PPP requirements and all SBA
reviews.
I understand, acknowledge, and agree that SBA may request additional information for the purposes of evaluating the
Borrower’s eligibility for the PPP loan and for loan forgiveness, and that the Borrower’s failure to provide information
requested by SBA may result in a determination that the Borrower was ineligible for the PPP loan or a denial of the
Borrower’s loan forgiveness application.

In addition, the Authorized Representative of the Borrower must certify by initialing at least ONE of the following two items:
_____
The Borrower did not reduce the number of employees or the average paid hours of employees between January 1, 2020 and
the end of the Covered Period (other than any reductions that arose from an inability to rehire individuals who were
employees on February 15, 2020, if the Borrower was unable to hire similarly qualified employees for unfilled positions on
or before December 31, 2020 (or, for a PPP loan made after December 27, 2020, before the last day of the Covered Period),
and reductions in an employee’s hours that a borrower offered to restore and were refused).
_____
The Borrower was unable to operate between February 15, 2020, and the end of the Covered Period at the same level of
business activity as before February 15, 2020 due to compliance with requirements established or guidance issued between
March 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020 (or, for a PPP loan made after December 27, 2020, requirements established or
guidance issued before the last day of the Covered Period), by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Director of
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, related to the
maintenance of standards of sanitation, social distancing, or any other work or customer safety requirement related to
COVID-19.
The Borrower’s eligibility for loan forgiveness will be evaluated in accordance with the PPP regulations and guidance issued by SBA
through the date of this application. SBA may direct a lender to disapprove the Borrower’s loan forgiveness application if SBA
determines that the Borrower was ineligible for the PPP loan.
