Paycheck Protection Program
Borrower Application Form

Purpose of this form:

This form is to be completed by the authorized representative of the Applicant and submitted to your SBA Participating Lender. Submission of the
requested information is required to make a determination regarding eligibility for financial assistance. Failure to submit the information would
affect that determination.

Instructions for completing this form:

With respect to "purpose of the loan," payroll costs consist of compensation to employees (whose principal place of residence is the United States) in
the form of salary, wages, commissions, or similar compensation; cash tips or the equivalent (based on employer records of past tips or, in the
absence of such records, a reasonable, good-faith employer estimate of such tips); payment for vacation, parental, family, medical, or sick leave;
allowance for separation or dismissal; payment for the provision of employee benefits consisting of group health care coverage, including insurance
premiums, and retirement; payment of state and local taxes assessed on compensation of employees; and for an independent contractor or sole
proprietor, wage, commissions, income, or net earnings from self-employment or similar compensation.

For purposes of calculating "Average Monthly Payroll," most Applicants will use the average monthly payroll for 2019, excluding costs over
$100,000 on an annualized basis for each employee. For seasonal businesses, the Applicant may elect to instead use average monthly payroll for the
time period between February 15, 2019 and June 30, 2019, excluding costs over $100,000 on an annualized basis for each employee. For new
businesses, average monthly payroll may be calculated using the time period from January 1, 2020 to February 29, 2020, excluding costs over
$100,000 on an annualized basis for each employee.

If Applicant is refinancing an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL): Add the outstanding amount of an EIDL made between January 31, 2020 and
April 3, 2020, less the amount of any "advance" under an EIDL COVID-19 loan, to Loan Request as indicated on the form.

All parties listed below are considered owners of the Applicant as defined in 13 CFR § 120.10, as well as "principals":

e Fora sole proprietorship, the sole proprietor;

e Fora partnership, all general partners, and all limited partners owning 20% or more of the equity of the firm;
e Fora corporation, all owners of 20% or more of the corporation;

e For limited liability companies, all members owning 20% or more of the company; and

e Any Trustor (if the Applicant is owned by a trust).

Paperwork Reduction Act — You are not required to respond to this collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control
Number. The estimated time for completing this application, including gathering data needed, is 8 minutes. Comments about this time or the
information requested should be sent to: Small Business Administration, Director, Records Management Division, 409 3rd St., SW, Washington DC
20416., and/or SBA Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Washington DC 20503.

Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) — Under the provisions of the Privacy Act, you are not required to provide your social security number. Failure to
provide your social security number may not affect any right, benefit or privilege to which you are entitled. (But see Debt Collection Notice
regarding taxpayer identification number below.) Disclosures of name and other personal identifiers are required to provide SBA with sufficient
information to make a character determination. When evaluating character, SBA considers the person’s integrity, candor, and disposition toward
criminal actions. Additionally, SBA is specifically authorized to verify your criminal history, or lack thereof, pursuant to section 7(a)(1)(B), 15 USC
Section 636(a)(1)(B) of the Small Business Act (the Act).

Disclosure of Information — Requests for information about another party may be denied unless SBA has the written permission of the individual to
release the information to the requestor or unless the information is subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The Privacy Act
authorizes SBA to make certain “routine uses” of information protected by that Act. One such routine use is the disclosure of information maintained
in SBA’s system of records when this information indicates a violation or potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or administrative in
nature. Specifically, SBA may refer the information to the appropriate agency, whether Federal, State, local or foreign, charged with responsibility
for, or otherwise involved in investigation, prosecution, enforcement or prevention of such violations. Another routine use is disclosure to other
Federal agencies conducting background checks but only to the extent the information is relevant to the requesting agencies' function. See, 74 F.R.
14890 (2009), and as amended from time to time for additional background and other routine uses. In addition, the CARES Act, requires SBA to
register every loan made under the Paycheck Protection Act using the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) assigned to the borrower.

Debt Collection Act of 1982, Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 (31 U.S.C. 3701 et seq. and other titles) - SBA must obtain your taxpayer
identification number when you apply for a loan. If you receive a loan, and do not make payments as they come due, SBA may: (1) report the status
of your loan(s) to credit bureaus, (2) hire a collection agency to collect your loan, (3) offset your income tax refund or other amounts due to you
from the Federal Government, (4) suspend or debar you or your company from doing business with the Federal Government, (5) refer your loan to
the Department of Justice, or (6) foreclose on collateral or take other action permitted in the loan instruments.

Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 3401) — The Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978, grants SBA access rights to financial
records held by financial institutions that are or have been doing business with you or your business including any financial institutions participating
in a loan or loan guaranty. SBA is only required provide a certificate of its compliance with the Act to a financial institution in connection with its
first request for access to your financial records. SBA's access rights continue for the term of any approved loan guaranty agreement. SBA is also
authorized to transfer to another Government authority any financial records concerning an approved loan or loan guarantee, as necessary to process,
service or foreclose on a loan guaranty or collect on a defaulted loan guaranty.

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE

From time to time, ReadyCap Lending, LLC (we, us or Company) may be required by law to
provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and
conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the
DocuSign, Inc. (DocuSign) electronic signing system. Please read the information below
carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your
satisfaction and agree to these terms and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking
the ‘I agree’ button at the bottom of this document.

Getting paper copies

At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send
to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after signing session and, if you
elect to create a DocuSign signer account, you may access them for a limited period of time
(usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to
send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a
$0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the
procedure described below.

Withdrawing your consent

If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.

Consequences of changing your mind

If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign “Withdraw Consent’ form on the signing page of a
DocuSign envelope instead of signing it. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your
consent to receive required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer
be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from
us or to sign electronically documents from us.

All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically

Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures

that determination

Instructions for completing this form:

With respect to “purpose of the loan,” payroll costs consist of compensation to employees (whose principal place of residence is the United States) in
the form of salary, wages, commissions, or similar compensation; cash tips or the equivalent (based on employer records of past tips or, in the absence
of such records, a reasonable, good-faith employer estimate of such tips); payment for vacation, parental, family, medical, or sick leave; allowance for
separation or dismissal; payment for the provision of employee benefits consisting of group health care coverage, including insurance premiums, and
retirement; payment of state and local taxes assessed on compensation of employees; and for an independent contractor or sole proprietor, wage,

Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) - Under the provisions of the Privacy Act, you are not required to provide your social security number. Failure to provide
your social security number may not affect any right, benefit or privilege to which you are entitled. (But see Debt Collection Notice regarding taxpayer

Specifically, SBA may refer the information to the appropriate agency, whether Federal, State, local or foreign, charged with responsibility for, or
otherwise involved in investigation, prosecution, enforcement or prevention of such violations. Another routine use is disclosure to other Federal
agencies conducting background checks but only to the extent the information is relevant to the requesting agencies' function. See, 74 F.R. 14890

number when you apply for a loan. If you receive a loan, and do not make payments as they come due, SBA may: (1) report the status of your loan(s) to
credit bureaus, (2) hire a collection agency to collect your loan, (3) offset your income tax refund or other amounts due to you from the Federal
Government, (4) suspend or debar you or your company from doing business with the Federal Government, (5) refer your loan to the Department of
Justice, or (6) foreclose on collateral or take other action permitted in the loan instruments.

Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 3401) - The Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978, grants SBA access rights to financial records
held by financial institutions that are or have been doing business with you or your business including any financial institutions participating in a loan

for access to your financial records. SBA's access rights continue for the term of any approved loan guaranty agreement. SBA is also authorized to
transfer to another Government authority any financial records concerning an approved loan or loan guarantee, as necessary to process, service or
foreclose on a loan guaranty or collect on a defaulted loan guaranty.

matter or matters so approved. Without such approval, no Members acting alone may
bind the Company to any agreement with or obligation to any third party or represent

setting forth the date, time, and location of a meeting must be sent within a reasonable
period of time before the date of the meeting to each Member entitled to vote at the

requirements of Section 2.3(b) are complied with in full.

ARTICLE 8: DISSOLUTION

following events:

(i) | The unanimous agreement of all Members in a consent in writing

DOJ-01-0000004437
Case 2:20-cr-00174-JCC Document 137-1 Filed 11/26/21 Page 66 of 78

(ii) Entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Washington Limited
Liability Company Act;

(iii) At any time that there are no Members, unless and provided that
the Company is not otherwise required to be dissolved and wound
up, within 90 days after the occurrence of the event that terminated
the continued membership of the last remaining Member, the legal
representative of the last remaining Member agrees in writing to
continue the Company and (i) to become a Member; or (ii) to the
extent that the last remaining Member assigned its interest in the
Company, to cause the Member's assignee to become a Member of
the Company, effective as of the occurrence of the event that

Member;

(iv) The sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets;

(v) A merger or consolidation of the Company with one or more
entities in which the Company is not the surviving entity.

8.2 No Automatic Dissolution Upon Certain Events. Unless otherwise set forth
in this Agreement or required by applicable law, the death, incapacity, disassociation,
bankruptcy, or withdrawal of a Member will not automatically cause a dissolution of
the Company.

ARTICLE 9: INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Indemnification. The Company has the power to defend, indemnify, and
hold harmless any Person who was or is a party, or who is threatened to be made a
party, to any Proceeding (as that term is defined below) by reason of the fact that such
Person was or is a Member, officer, employee, representative, or other agent of the
Company, or was or is serving at the request of the Company as a director, Governor,
officer, employee, representative or other agent of another limited liability company,
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise (each such Person is
referred to as a “Company Agent”), against Expenses (as that term is defined below),
judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts (collectively, “Damages”) to the
maximum extent now or hereafter permitted under Washington law. “Proceeding,” as
used in this Article 9, means any threatened, pending, or completed action, proceeding,
individual claim or matter within a proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,

DOJ-01-0000004438
Case 2:20-cr-00174-JCC Document 137-1 Filed 11/26/21 Page 67 of 78

or investigative. “Expenses,” as used in this Article 9, includes, without limitation, court
costs, reasonable attorney and expert fees, and any expenses incurred relating to
establishing a right to indemnification, if any, under this Article 9.

9.2 Mandatory. The Company must defend, indemnify and hold harmless a
Company Agent in connection with a Proceeding in which such Company Agent is
involved if, and to the extent, Washington law requires that a limited liability company
indemnify a Company Agent in connection with a Proceeding.

9.3. Expenses Paid by the Company Prior to Final Disposition. Expenses of
each Company Agent indemnified or held harmless under this Agreement that are
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of a
Proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of a
Proceeding if authorized by a vote of the Members that are not seeking indemnification
holding a majority of the Voting Interests (excluding the Voting Interest of the
Company Agent seeking indemnification). Before the Company makes any such
payment of Expenses, the Company Agent seeking indemnification must deliver a
written undertaking to the Company stating that such Company Agent will repay the
applicable Expenses to the Company unless it is ultimately determined that the
Company Agent is entitled or required to be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company (as set forth in Sections 9.1 or 9.2 above or as otherwise required by
applicable law).

ARTICLE 10: GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1 Notice. (a) Any notices (including requests, demands, or other

Agreement must be in writing and delivered personally, by reputable overnight courier,
or by certified mail (or equivalent service offered by the postal service from time to
time) to the following addresses or as otherwise notified in accordance with this

executive office; and (ii) if to a Member, notices must be sent to the Member's last
known address for notice on record. (b) Any party to this Agreement may change its
notice address by sending written notice of such change to the Company in the manner

understandings and agreements with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement,
except as otherwise required by the Washington Limited Liability Company Act. There

Company Act.

10.3 Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement will be construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of Washington. If any provision of this

reason whatsoever, (i) the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, all portions of any
provisions containing any such unenforceable provision that are not themselves
unenforceable) will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and (ii) to the
fullest extent possible, the unenforceable provision will be deemed modified and
replaced by a provision that approximates the intent and economic effect of the
unenforceable provision and the Agreement will be deemed amended accordingly.

10.4 Further Action. Each Member agrees to perform all further acts and
execute, acknowledge, and deliver any documents which may be reasonably necessary,
appropriate, or desirable to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

10.5 No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is made solely for the benefit
of the parties to this Agreement and their respective permitted successors and assigns,
and no other Person or entity will have or acquire any right by virtue of this Agreement.
This Agreement will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties and their
heirs, personal representatives, and permitted successors and assigns.

10.6 Incorporation by Reference. The recitals and each appendix, exhibit,
schedule, and other document attached to or referred to in this Agreement are hereby
incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

10.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
