Defendant stipulates that uncontested and admissible evidence of her relevant conduct as
summarized in paragraph 6, infra, establishes each of the foregoing elements as to each count of
the Indictment beyond any reasonable doubt.

6.      Factual Basis: Defendant has fully discussed the facts of this case and any potential
defenses with defense counsel. Defendant has committed each of the elements of the crime(s) to
which defendant is pleading guilty and admits there is a factual basis for defendant's guilty
plea(s). The following facts are true and undisputed:

           A. Defend ant is owner of Salem Outsourcing, Inc. ("SOI"). Defendant is also the
              owner of Reality RV and Trailers Inc ("Reality RV"), owner of Valley Investment
              Company d/b/a Casey' s Restaurant Inc. ("Valley Investment"), and a owner of
              Reality Auto.

              responsible for the payroll, income withholding, and employment taxes for Al ' s
              Trailer Sales of Salem Inc. ("Al's Trailer").

           C. Defendant paid Al ' s Trailer' s employees either via checks from SOI bank

              from SOI' s bank account in Oregon to Intuit Payroll' s account in Texas for direct

                                                                                     Rev ised June 2023

                deposit to Al ' s Trailer's employees from which she withheld income and payroll
                taxes as part of her scheme.

           F. Between August 2016 and December 2018, while defendant withheld income and
              payroll taxes from Al ' s Trailer' s employers, she did not pay over any federal
              income withholding or payroll taxes to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS").
              Instead, defendant used those funds for personal expenditures, including
              purchasing ownership interest Al's Trailers for $200,000 and an RV for $79,000.

           G. On August 7, 2018, defendant used $79,000 money derived from her scheme to
              purchase an RV.

           H. In total, defendant improperly retained the following amounts of federal income
              withholding and payroll taxes from Al's Trailer in the following years: 2016
              ($92,028), 2017 ($328,739), and 2018 ($284,846) for a total of $705,613.

           I.   Following the enactment of the CARES Act in March 2020 and the American
                Rescue Plan Act in March 2021 , defendant recognized an opportunity to procure
                COVID-relief funds from the United States Small Business Administration
                ("SBA") by submitting fraudulent applications for Paycheck Protection Program
                ("PPP") loans, an Economic Injury Disaster Loan ("EIDL") and advance, and a
                Restaurant Revitalization Fund ("RRF") grant.

           J. Beginning no later than April 3, 2020, and continuing at least through December
              30, 2021, defendant applied for fifteen COVID-relief loans and grants by
              submitting false and fraudulent applications to the SBA and participating lenders.

          K. Defendant admits she submitted the following false and fraudulent applications:

          L. On April 3, 2020, defendant submitted PPP application #15988848 on behalf of
             Al's Trailer to Bartle of America, a federally insured financial institution. On that
             application, defendant lmowingly and willfully misrepresented Al's Trailer's
             average monthly payroll and number of employees. To support her
             misrepresentations, defendant submitted an IRS Form 1120(U.S. Corporation
             Income Tax Return), never filed with the IRS, but created for the purposes of
             securing the PPP Loan. Defendant also lmowingly and willfully misrepresented
             that defendant was not the owner of any other business when defendant, in fact
             had 100% ownership of 5 other businesses and 50% ownership in two other
             businesses. Defendant also certified on the application she was not engaged in
             illegal activities, when in fact she was engaged in the aforementioned payroll tax
             scheme, and attested and certified all the information on the application and all
             supporting documentation submitted was true and accurate.

          M. Based on defendant's misrepresentations on PPP application #15988848 , Bank of
             America funded a PPP loan of $454,5 32 to Al's Trailer' s Bank of America
             account that defendant controlled.

          N. On May 13, 2020, defendant used $21 ,000 of the PPP funds to write a check to
             Lakeside Investment Group for rent.

          0. Based on the fraudulent applications noted above, defendant caused a total actual
             loss of $1,367,247, including interest and SBA paid lender fees.

       The government reserves the right to argue that defendant used sophisticated means to

to USSG 2Bl.l(b)(10)(c). This would result in a total offense level of21 (37-46 months at

       The parties reserve the right to argue that additional specific characteristics under the
Sentencing Guidelines are appropriate. They parties make no agreement as to defendant's
criminal history but estimate defendant qualifies for the zero-point offender adjustment.

9.      Acceptance of Responsibility: Defendant must demonstrate to the Court that defendant
fully admits and accepts responsibility under USSG § 3El .1 for defendant' s unlawful conduct in
this case. If defendant does so, the USAO will recommend a three-level reduction in defendant's
offense level. The USAO reserves the right to change this recommendation if defendant,
between plea and sentencing, commits any criminal offense, obstructs or attempts to obstruct
justice as explained in USSG § 3C 1.1 , or acts inconsistently with acceptance ofresponsibility as
explained in USSG § 3El.1.

10.    Sentencing Recommendation: The USAO will recommend the low end of the
applicable guideline ranges for each count as long as defendant demonstrates an acceptance of
responsibility as explained above.

11.    Additional Departures, Adjustments, or Variances:

        A.     Defendant reserves the right to seek downward departure, adjustment, or variance
from the applicable sentencing guideline range determined by the Court and understands that the
government reserves its right to oppose such a request. The basis for the departure, adjustment,
or variance shall be limited to USSG § 5K2 or 18 U.S.C. § 3553.

        B.      Defendant agrees that, shouid defendant seek a downward departure, adjustment,
or variance from the applicable guideline range determined by the Court and Probation Office,
defendant will provide the government with notice of: ( 1) the factual basis for such request;
(2) any evidence defendant intends to introduce or rely upon at the sentencing hearing; and
(3) any witnesses, including expert witnesses, defendant intends to call or rely upon at the
sentencing hearing. Such notice must be provided to the government no later than the
Wednesday prior to the week during which the sentencing hearing is scheduled. Defendant
agrees that if defendant fails to comply with this notice requirement, defendant will not oppose a
government motion for a postponement of the sentencing hearing.

12.     Waiver of Appeal/Post-Conviction Relief: Defendant knowingly and voluntarily
waives the right to appeal from any aspect of the conviction and sentence on any grounds, except
for a claim that: (1) the sentence imposed exceeds the statutory maximum, or (2) the Court
arrives at an advisory sentencing guideline range by applying an upward departure under the
provisions of Guidelines Chapters 4 or SK, or (3) the Court exercises its discretion under 18
U.S.C. § 3553(a) to impose a sentence which exceeds the advisory guideline sentencing range as
determined by the Court. Should defendant seek an appeal, despite this waiver, the USAO may
take any position on any issue on appeal. Defendant also waives the right to file any collateral

                                                                                       Revised June 2023

attack, including a motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, challenging any aspect of the conviction or
sentence on any grounds, except on grounds of ineffective assistance of counsel, and except as
provided in Fed. R. Crim. P. 33 and 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). In the event that [any of]
defendant's conviction(s) under this agreement are vacated, the government may reinstate and/or
file any other charges, and may take any position at a resentencing hearing, notwithstanding any
other provision in this agreement.

13.      Court Not Bound: The Court is not bound by the recommendations of the parties or of
the presentence report (PSR) writer. Because this agreement is made under Rule 11 (c)(1 )(B) of
the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, defendant may not withdraw any guilty plea or rescind
this plea agreement if the Court does not follow the agreements or recommendations of the
parties.

14.     Full Disclosure/Reservation of Rights: The USAO will fully inform the PSR writer and
the Court of the facts and law related to defendant's case. Except as set forth in this agreement,
the parties reserve all other rights to make sentencing recommendations and to respond to
motions and arguments by the opposition.

15.     Breach of Plea Agreement: If defendant breaches the terms of this agreement, or
commits any new criminal offenses between signing this agreement and sentencing, the USAO is
relieved of its obligations under this agreement, but defendant may not withdraw any guilty plea.

         If defendant believes that the government has breached the plea agreement, defendant
must raise any such claim before the district court, either prior to or at sentencing. If defendant
fails to raise a breach claim in district court, defendant has waived any such claim and is
precluded from raising a breach claim for the first time on appeal.

16.     Restitution: Defendant agrees to an order of full restitution to all victims of the offenses
of conviction and her relevant conduct pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3663 and 3663A. The parties
agree that the Court shall impose an order of restitution of $2,072,860, ($705 ,613 due to the IRS
and $1 ,367,247 due to the SBA), which will be reduced by any amount defendant has already
repaid by the time of sentencing.

       Defendant agrees fully to disclose all assets in which defendant has any interest or over
which defendant exercises control, directly or indirectly, including those held by a spouse,
nominee, or third party. Defendant agrees to truthfully complete the Financial Disclosure
Statement provided herein by the earlier of fomieen days from defendant's signature on this plea
agreement or the date of defendant' s entry of a guilty plea, sign it under penalty of pe1jmy, and
provide it to both the USAO and the United States Probation Office. Defendant agrees to
provide updates with any material changes in circumstances, as described in 18 U.S.C. §
3664(k), within seven days of the event giving rise to the changed circumstances.

                                                                                        Revised June 2023

        Defendant expressly authorizes the USAO to obtain a credit report on defendant.
Defendant agrees to provide waivers, consents, or releases requested by the USAO to access
records to verify the financial information. Defendant also authorizes the USAO to inspect and
copy all financial documents and information held by the U.S. Probation Office.

       The parties agree that defendant's failure to timely and accurately complete and sign the
Financial Disclosure Statement, and any update thereto, may, in addition to any other penalty or
remedy, constitute defendant's failure to accept responsibility under USSG § 3El.1.

        Transfer of Assets
        Defendant agrees to notify the Financial Litigation Unit of the USAO before defendant
transfers any interest in property with a value exceeding $1000 owned directly or indirectly,
individually or jointly, by defendant, including any interest held or owned under any name,
including trusts, partnerships, and corporations.

        Restitution
        The Court shall order restitution to each victim in the full amount of each victim' s losses
as determined by the Court. Defendant agrees to pay restitution for all losses caused by
defendant's conduct, regardless of whether counts of the Indictment dealing with such losses will
be dismissed as part of this plea agreement.

        Defendant understands and agrees that the total amount of any monetary judgment that
the Court orders defendant to pay will be due. Defendant further understands and agrees that
pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3614, defendant may be resentenced to any sentence which might have
originally been imposed if the court determines that defendant has lmowingly and willfully
refused to pay a fine or restitution as ordered or has failed to make sufficient bona fide efforts to
pay a fine or restitution. Additionally, defendant understands and agrees that the government
may enforce collection of any fine or restitution imposed in this case pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§
3572, 3613, and 3664(m), notwithstanding any initial or subsequently modified payment
schedule set by the court. Defendant understands that any monetary debt defendant owes related
to this matter may be included in the Treasury Offset Program to potentially offset defendant's
federal retirement benefits, tax refunds, and other federal benefits.

         Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3612(b)(l)(F), defendant understands and agrees that until a fine
or restitution order is paid in full, defendant must notify the USAO of any change in the mailing
address or residence address within 30 days of the change. Further, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §
3664(k), defendant shall notify the Court and the USAO of any material change in defendant' s
economic circumstances that might affect defendant's ability to pay restitution, including, but not
limited to, new or changed employment, increases in income, inheritances, monetary gifts, or any
other acquisition of assets or money.

                                                                                        Revised June 2023
