                             PPP Loan Forgiveness Application Form 3508EZ 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 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   ofany 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   ofpay 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 SBA-
         guaranteed loan   ispunishable 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.

                                      Checklist for Using SBA Form 3508EZ 

You (the Borrower) can apply for forgiveness of your First or Second Draw Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan using this 
SBA Form 3508EZ if your PPP loan amount is more than $150,000 and you can check at least one of the two boxes below.  If 
your loan amount is $150,000 or less, please use SBA Form 3508S.  Do not submit this Checklist with your SBA Form 3508EZ.    
Each PPP loan must use a separate loan forgiveness application form.  You cannot use one form to apply for forgiveness of both a 
First Draw PPP Loan and a Second Draw PPP loan.  For a Second Draw PPP Loan in excess of $150,000, you must submit a loan 
forgiveness application for your First Draw PPP Loan before or simultaneously with the loan forgiveness application for your 
Second Draw PPP Loan, even if the calculated amount of forgiveness on your First Draw PPP Loan is zero. 

       ☐ The Borrower did not reduce annual salary or hourly wages of any employee by more than 25 percent during the Covered
         Period compared to the most recent full quarter before the Covered Period. (For purposes of this statement, “employees”
         means 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.);
                                                            AND 
         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.  
         •              Ignore 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, the last day of the Covered
                        Period).
         •              Also ignore reductions in an employee’s hours that the Borrower offered to restore and the employee
                        refused.  See 85 FR 33004, 33007 (June 1, 2020) for more details.

         2020 (or, for a PPP loan made after December 27, 2020, requirements established or guidance issued between March 1,

First Draw PPP Loan forgiveness application), or (b) Second Draw PPP Loans with an original principal amount of $2 
million or more (if this is a Second Draw PPP Loan forgiveness application). 

Forgiveness Amount Calculation (see Summary of Costs Eligible for Forgiveness below): 

Line 1:  Enter total eligible payroll costs incurred or paid during the Covered Period.  To calculate these costs, add the following: 

       Cash Compensation:  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.  You can only 
       include compensation of employees who were employed by the Borrower at any point during the Covered Period and whose 
       principal place of residence is in the United States. 

       Employee Benefits:  The total amount paid by the Borrower for: 
       1. 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.
       2. 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.
       3. Employer state and local taxes paid by the borrower and assessed on employee compensation (e.g., state
          unemployment insurance tax), excluding any taxes withheld from employee earnings.

       Owner Compensation:  Any amounts 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.

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
          force before February 15, 2020 (“business rent or lease payments”);
          (c) covered utility payments: business payments for a service for the distribution of electricity, gas, water,
          telephone, transportation, or internet access for which service began before February 15, 2020 (“business utility
          payments”);
          (d) covered operations expenditures: payments for any business software or cloud computing service that facilitates
          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
