 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”:

    For a sole proprietorship, the sole proprietor;
    For a partnership, all general partners, and all limited partners owning 20% or more of the equity of the firm;
    For a corporation, all owners of 20% or more of the corporation;

  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.
  Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) – Subject to certain exceptions, SBA must supply information reflected in agency files and
  records to a person requesting it. Information about approved loans that will be automatically released includes, among other things, statistics
  on our loan programs (individual borrowers are not identified in the statistics) and other information such as the names of the borrowers (and
  their officers, directors, stockholders or partners), the collateral pledged to secure the loan, the amount of the loan, its purpose in general terms
  and the maturity. Proprietary data on a borrower would not routinely be made available to third parties. All requests under this Act are to be
  addressed to the nearest SBA office and be identified as a Freedom of Information request.
  Occupational Safety and Health Act (15 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) – The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) can require
  businesses to modify facilities and procedures to protect employees. Businesses that do not comply may be fined, forced to cease operations,
  or prevented from starting operations. Signing this form is certification that the applicant, to the best of its knowledge, is in compliance with
  the applicable OSHA requirements, and will remain in compliance during the life of the loan.
  Civil Rights (13 C.F.R. 112, 113, 117) – All businesses receiving SBA financial assistance must agree not to discriminate in any business
  practice, including employment practices and services to the public on the basis of categories cited in 13 C.F.R., Parts 112, 113, and 117 of
  SBA Regulations. All borrowers must display the "Equal Employment Opportunity Poster" prescribed by SBA.
  Equal Credit Opportunity Act (15 U.S.C. 1691) – Creditors are prohibited from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race,
  color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status or age (provided the applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract); because all
  or part of the applicant's income derives from any public assistance program; or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right
  under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.
  Debarment and Suspension Executive Order 12549; (2 CFR Part 180 and Part 2700) – By submitting this loan application, you certify
  that neither the Applicant or any owner of the Applicant have within the past three years been: (a) debarred, suspended, declared ineligible or
  voluntarily excluded from participation in a transaction by any Federal Agency; (b) formally proposed for debarment, with a final
  determination still pending; (c) indicted, convicted, or had a civil judgment rendered against you for any of the offenses listed in the
  regulations or (d) delinquent on any amounts owed to the U.S. Government or its instrumentalities as of the date of execution of this
  certification.

                           This Loan is made under the provisions of the PPP, 7(a) Loan Program and the CARES Act. The principal
                           under this Note may be reduced or forgiven in accordance with the loan forgiveness provisions of the CARES

                       Principal and interest payments on the Remaining Obligations shall begin on the date which is seven (7) months
                       from the date of this Note and shall continue on the same date of each of the seventeen

             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
             \PM e; IOZMMf J]\\WV I\ \PM JW\\WU WN \PQ[ LWK]UMV\*
             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

             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
             electronically from us.

 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”:

   x For a sole proprietorship, the sole proprietor;
   x For a partnership, all general partners, and all limited partners owning 20% or more of the equity of the firm;
   x For a corporation, all owners of 20% or more of the corporation;
   x For limited liability companies, all members owning 20% or more of the company; and
   x 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

                                                                         3

  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.
  Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) – Subject to certain exceptions, SBA must supply information reflected in agency files and
  records to a person requesting it. Information about approved loans that will be automatically released includes, among other things, statistics
  on our loan programs (individual borrowers are not identified in the statistics) and other information such as the names of the borrowers (and
  their officers, directors, stockholders or partners), the collateral pledged to secure the loan, the amount of the loan, its purpose in general terms
  and the maturity. Proprietary data on a borrower would not routinely be made available to third parties. All requests under this Act are to be
  addressed to the nearest SBA office and be identified as a Freedom of Information request.
  Occupational Safety and Health Act (15 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) – The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) can require
  businesses to modify facilities and procedures to protect employees. Businesses that do not comply may be fined, forced to cease operations,
  or prevented from starting operations. Signing this form is certification that the applicant, to the best of its knowledge, is in compliance with
  the applicable OSHA requirements, and will remain in compliance during the life of the loan.
  Civil Rights (13 C.F.R. 112, 113, 117) – All businesses receiving SBA financial assistance must agree not to discriminate in any business
  practice, including employment practices and services to the public on the basis of categories cited in 13 C.F.R., Parts 112, 113, and 117 of
  SBA Regulations. All borrowers must display the "Equal Employment Opportunity Poster" prescribed by SBA.
  Equal Credit Opportunity Act (15 U.S.C. 1691) – Creditors are prohibited from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race,
  color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status or age (provided the applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract); because all
  or part of the applicant's income derives from any public assistance program; or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right
  under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.
  Debarment and Suspension Executive Order 12549; (2 CFR Part 180 and Part 2700) – By submitting this loan application, you certify
  that neither the Applicant or any owner of the Applicant have within the past three years been: (a) debarred, suspended, declared ineligible or
  voluntarily excluded from participation in a transaction by any Federal Agency; (b) formally proposed for debarment, with a final
  determination still pending; (c) indicted, convicted, or had a civil judgment rendered against you for any of the offenses listed in the
  regulations or (d) delinquent on any amounts owed to the U.S. Government or its instrumentalities as of the date of execution of this
  certification.

                                                            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”:

   x For a sole proprietorship, the sole proprietor;
   x For a partnership, all general partners, and all limited partners owning 20% or more of the equity of the firm;
   x For a corporation, all owners of 20% or more of the corporation;
   x For limited liability companies, all members owning 20% or more of the company; and
   x 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

                                                                         3

  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.
  Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) – Subject to certain exceptions, SBA must supply information reflected in agency files and
  records to a person requesting it. Information about approved loans that will be automatically released includes, among other things, statistics
  on our loan programs (individual borrowers are not identified in the statistics) and other information such as the names of the borrowers (and
  their officers, directors, stockholders or partners), the collateral pledged to secure the loan, the amount of the loan, its purpose in general terms
  and the maturity. Proprietary data on a borrower would not routinely be made available to third parties. All requests under this Act are to be
  addressed to the nearest SBA office and be identified as a Freedom of Information request.
  Occupational Safety and Health Act (15 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) – The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) can require
  businesses to modify facilities and procedures to protect employees. Businesses that do not comply may be fined, forced to cease operations,
  or prevented from starting operations. Signing this form is certification that the applicant, to the best of its knowledge, is in compliance with
  the applicable OSHA requirements, and will remain in compliance during the life of the loan.
  Civil Rights (13 C.F.R. 112, 113, 117) – All businesses receiving SBA financial assistance must agree not to discriminate in any business
  practice, including employment practices and services to the public on the basis of categories cited in 13 C.F.R., Parts 112, 113, and 117 of
  SBA Regulations. All borrowers must display the "Equal Employment Opportunity Poster" prescribed by SBA.
  Equal Credit Opportunity Act (15 U.S.C. 1691) – Creditors are prohibited from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race,
  color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status or age (provided the applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract); because all
  or part of the applicant's income derives from any public assistance program; or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right
  under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.
  Debarment and Suspension Executive Order 12549; (2 CFR Part 180 and Part 2700) – By submitting this loan application, you certify
  that neither the Applicant or any owner of the Applicant have within the past three years been: (a) debarred, suspended, declared ineligible or
  voluntarily excluded from participation in a transaction by any Federal Agency; (b) formally proposed for debarment, with a final
  determination still pending; (c) indicted, convicted, or had a civil judgment rendered against you for any of the offenses listed in the
  regulations or (d) delinquent on any amounts owed to the U.S. Government or its instrumentalities as of the date of execution of this
  certification.
