                                  Loan Forgiveness Application Form 3508 Revised January 19, 2021 

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 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 all applicable reductions due to decreases in the number of full-time equivalent employees and
                 salary/hourly wage reductions;
               • includes payroll costs equal to at least 60% of the forgiveness amount;
               • 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 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 
         SBA-guaranteed 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/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.        
_____   If the Borrower has  checked the box for FTE Reduction Safe Harbor 1 on PPP         Schedule A, 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         
         between March 1, 2020 and 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.

FTE Reduction Safe Harbor    2: 

Step 1.   Enter the borrower’s total average FTE between February 15,        2020  and April 26, 2020. Follow the same method that       
          was used to calculate Average FTE in the PPP Schedule A Worksheet Tables. Sum across all employees and enter: 
                               . 

Step 2.   Enter the borrower’s total FTE in the Borrower’s pay period inclusive of February 15, 2020. Follow the same method 
          that was used in  step 1:                        . 

Step 3.  If the entry for step 2 is greater than step 1, proceed to step 4. Otherwise, FTE Reduction Safe Harbor 2 is not 
          applicable and the Borrower must complete line 13 of PPP Schedule A by dividing line 12 by line 11 of that schedule. 

Step 4.   Enter the borrower’s total FTE (a) for a PPP loan made before December 27, 2020, as of December 31, 2020 or (b) for a

Step 5.   If the entry for step 4 is greater than or equal to step 2, enter 1.0 on line 13 of PPP Schedule A; the FTE Reduction Safe      
          Harbor 2 has been satisfied. Otherwise, FTE Reduction Safe Harbor          2 does not apply and the Borrower must complete  
          line 13 of PPP Schedule A by dividing line 12 by line 11 of that schedule.

If this application is being submitted for a First Draw PPP Loan approved on or before August 8, 2020 and the Borrower is 
required to submit an SBA Form 3508D disclosure of a controlling interest, that disclosure must be submitted to the lender not 
later than 30 days after submission of this loan forgiveness application. See subsection B.16 of SBA’s interim final rule posted on

Summary of Costs Eligible for Forgiveness: 

Borrowers are eligible for loan forgiveness for the following costs: 
1.     Eligible payroll costs. Borrowers are generally eligible for forgiveness for the payroll costs paid and payroll costs incurred
       during the Covered Period (“payroll costs”). Payroll costs are considered paid on the day that paychecks are distributed or
       the Borrower originates an ACH credit transaction. Payroll costs are considered incurred on the day that the employee’s
       pay is earned. Payroll costs incurred but not paid during the Borrower’s last pay period of the Covered Period are eligible
       for forgiveness if paid on or before the next regular payroll date. Otherwise, payroll costs must be paid during the Covered
       Period. For each individual employee, the total amount of cash compensation eligible for forgiveness may not exceed an
       annual salary of $100,000, as prorated for the Covered Period. Count payroll costs that were both paid and incurred only
       once. Include only payroll costs for employees whose principal place of residence is in the United States.  For information
       on what qualifies as payroll costs, see SBA’s interim final rule posted on January 6, 2021 (86 FR 3692).

2.     Eligible nonpayroll costs. Nonpayroll costs eligible for forgiveness consist of:
        (a) covered mortgage obligations: payments of mortgage interest (not including any prepayment or payment of principal)
        on any business mortgage obligation on real or personal property incurred before February 15, 2020 (“business mortgage
        interest payments”);
        (b) covered rent obligations: business rent or lease payments pursuant to lease agreements for real or personal property in

       business operations, product or service delivery, the processing, payment, or tracking of payroll expenses, human
       resources, sales and billing functions, or accounting of tracking of supplies, inventory, records, and expenses;
       (e) covered property damage costs: costs related to property damage and vandalism or looting due to public disturbances
       that occurred during 2020 that were not covered by insurance or other compensation;
       (f) covered supplier costs: expenditures made to a supplier of goods for the supply of goods that are essential to the
       operations of the Borrower at the time at which the expenditure is made, and made pursuant to a contract, order, or
       purchase order in effect prior to the beginning of the Covered Period (for perishable goods, the contract, order, or
       purchase order may have been in effect before or at any time during the Covered Period); and
       (g) covered worker protection expenditures: operating or capital expenditures that facilitate the adaptation of the business
       activities of an entity to comply with the requirements established or guidance issued by the Department of Health and
       Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control, or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or any
       equivalent requirements established or guidance issued by a State or local government, during the period starting March 1,
       2020 and ending on the date on which the national emergency declared by the President with respect to the Coronavirus
       Disease 2019 (COVID-19) expires related to maintenance standards for sanitation, social distancing, or any other worker
       or customer safety requirement related to COVID-19, but does not include residential real property or intangible property.

       Eligible nonpayroll costs cannot exceed 40% of the total forgiveness amount.  An eligible nonpayroll cost must be paid 
       either during the Covered Period or incurred during the Covered Period and paid on or before the next regular billing date, 
       even if the billing date is after the Covered Period. Count nonpayroll costs that were both paid and incurred only once. 

The amount of loan forgiveness the Borrower applies for may be subject to reductions as explained in PPP Schedule A.

                            Loan Forgiveness Application Form 3508 Revised January 19, 2021 

                            Instructions for PPP Schedule A 

Lines 1 through 5: Enter the amounts from PPP Schedule A Worksheet Tables as directed. 

Enter the amount from line 3 of PPP Schedule A on line 9 of the PPP Loan Forgiveness Application Form. 

For lines 6 through 9, during the Covered Period: 

       Line 6: Enter the total amount paid by the Borrower for employer contributions for employee group health, life, disability, 
       vision, or dental insurance, including employer contributions to a self-insured, employer-sponsored group health plan, but 
       excluding any pre-tax or after-tax contributions by employees. Do not add contributions for these benefits made on behalf 
       of a self-employed individual, general partners, or owner-employees of an S-corporation, because such payments are 
       already included in their compensation. 

       Line 7: Enter the total amount paid by the Borrower for employer contributions to employee retirement plans, excluding 
       any pre-tax or after-tax contributions by employees. Do not add employer retirement contributions made on behalf of a self-
       employed individual or general partners, because such payments are already included in their compensation. 

       Line 8: Enter the total amount paid by the Borrower for employer state and local taxes assessed on employee compensation 
       (e.g., state unemployment insurance tax); do not list any taxes withheld from employee earnings. 

       Line 9: Enter any amounts the Borrower paid to owners (owner-employees (with an ownership stake of 5% or more), a self-
       employed individual, or general partners). For each individual owner in total across all businesses, this amount is capped at 
       (a) $20,833 (the 2.5-month equivalent of $100,000 per year), or (b) the 2.5-month equivalent of the individual’s applicable
       compensation in the year that was used to calculate the loan amount (2019 or 2020), whichever is lower.

Line 10: Add lines 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Enter this amount on line 1 on the PPP Loan Forgiveness Calculation Form. 

Line 11: Enter the Borrower’s total average weekly full-time equivalency (FTE) during the chosen reference period. For purposes 
of this calculation, the reference period is, at the Borrower’s election, either (i) February 15, 2019 to June 30, 2019; (ii) January 1, 
2020 to February 29, 2020; or (iii) in the case of seasonal employers, either of the preceding periods or any consecutive 12-week 
period between February 15, 2019 and February 15, 2020. For each employee, follow the same method that was used to calculate 
Average FTE on the PPP Schedule A Worksheet. Sum across all employees during the reference period and enter that total on this 
line. 

The calculations on lines 11, 12, and 13 will be used to determine whether the Borrower’s loan forgiveness amount must be reduced 
based on reductions in full-time equivalent employees, as required by the statute. Specifically, the actual loan forgiveness amount 
that the Borrower will receive may be reduced if the Borrower’s average weekly FTE employees during the Covered Period was 
less than during the Borrower’s chosen reference period. The Borrower is exempt from such a reduction, and should skip lines 11 
and 12, if any of the three criteria listed on PPP Schedule A under Full-Time Equivalency (FTE) Reduction Calculation has been 
met. 

Line 12: Add lines 2 and 5. 

Line 13: Divide line 12 by line 11 (or enter 1.0 if any of the three criteria listed on PPP Schedule A under Full-Time Equivalency 
(FTE) Reduction Calculation has been met). If more than 1.0, enter 1.0. Enter this amount on line 11 of the Loan Forgiveness 
Calculation Form.

                                            Instructions for PPP Schedule A Worksheet 

Complete the PPP Schedule A Worksheet or obtain an equivalent report from the Borrower’s payroll system or payroll processor. 

Table Instructions 

Employee’s Name: Separately list each employee. Do not include any independent contractors, owner-employees (with an 
ownership stake of 5% or more), self-employed individuals, or partners.  Include only payroll costs for employees whose principal 
place of residence is in the United States. 

Employee Identifier: Enter the last four digits of each employee’s Social Security Number. 

Cash Compensation: Enter the sum of gross salary, gross wages, gross tips, gross commissions, paid leave (vacation, family, 
medical or sick leave, not including leave covered by the Families First Coronavirus Response Act), and allowances for dismissal or 
separation paid or incurred during the Covered Period. Do not include qualified wages taken into account in determining the 
Employer Retention Credit. For each individual employee, the total amount of cash compensation eligible for forgiveness may not 
exceed an annual salary of $100,000, as prorated for the Covered Period.  For example, for an 8-week Covered Period, the maximum 
is $15,385, for a 24-week Covered Period, the maximum is $46,154. 

Average FTE: This calculates the average full-time equivalency (FTE) during the Covered Period. For each employee, enter the 
average number of hours paid per week, divide by 40, and round the total to the nearest tenth.  The maximum for each employee is 
capped at 1.0. A simplified method that assigns a 1.0 for employees who work 40 hours or more per week and 0.5 for employees 
who work fewer hours may be used at the election of the Borrower. 

This calculation will be used to determine whether the Borrower’s loan forgiveness amount must be reduced due to a statutory 
requirement concerning reductions in full-time equivalent employees. Borrowers are eligible for loan forgiveness for certain 
expenditures during the Covered Period. However, the actual loan forgiveness amount that the Borrower will receive may be less, 
depending on whether the Borrower’s average weekly number of FTE employees during the Covered Period was less than during the 
Borrower’s chosen reference period (see Instructions to PPP Schedule A, Line 11). The Borrower is exempt from such a reduction if 
either of the FTE Reduction Safe Harbors applies. See the FTE Reduction Safe Harbor instructions below. 

Salary/Hourly Wage Reduction: This calculation will be used to determine whether the Borrower’s loan forgiveness amount must 
be reduced due to a statutory requirement concerning reductions in employee salary and wages. Borrowers are eligible for loan 
forgiveness for certain expenditures during the Covered Period. However, the actual amount of loan forgiveness the Borrower will 
receive may be less, depending on whether the salary or hourly wages of certain employees during the Covered Period was less than 
during the most recent full quarter before the Covered Period. If the Borrower restored salary/hourly wage levels, the Borrower may 
be eligible for elimination of the Salary/Hourly Wage Reduction amount. Borrowers must complete this worksheet to determine 
whether to reduce the amount of loan forgiveness for which they are eligible. Complete the Salary/Hour Wage Reduction column 
only for employees whose salaries or hourly wages were reduced by more than 25% during the Covered Period as compared to the 
most recent full quarter before the Covered Period. For each employee listed in Table 1, complete the following (using salary for 
salaried employees and hourly wage for hourly employees): 

       Step 1. Determine if pay was reduced more than 25%.
