CONTENDERE GUILTY
FINDING There being a finding/verdict of GUILTY, defendant has been convicted as charged of the offense(s) of:
Conspiracy to Commit Bank Fraud in violation of Title 18 U.S.C. § 1349 as charged in Count 1 of the Information.
JUDGMENT The Court asked whether there was any reason why judgment should not be pronounced. Because no sufficient cause to the
AND PROB/ contrary was shown, or appeared to the Court, the Court adjudged the defendant guilty as charged and convicted and ordered
COMM that: Pursuant to the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, it is the judgment of the Court that the defendant is hereby committed to
ORDER the custody of the Bureau of Prisons to be imprisoned for a term of: FORTY-ONE (41) MONTHS.

It is ordered that the defendant shall pay to the United States a special assessment of $100, which is due immediately. Any unpaid
balance shall be due during the period of imprisonment, at the rate of not less than $25 per quarter, and pursuant to the Bureau of Prisons’ Inmate
Financial Responsibility Program.

Pursuant to Guideline Section 5E1.2(a), all fines are waived as the Court finds that the defendant has established that he is unable to
pay a fine and is not likely to become able to pay any fine in addition to restitution.

It is ordered that the defendant shall pay restitution in the total amount of $650,600 pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3663A. The amount of
restitution ordered shall be paid as follows:

Victim Amount

Bank of America $159,900

U.S. Small Business Administration $490,700

Restitution shall be due during the period of imprisonment, at the rate of not less than $25 per quarter, and pursuant to the Bureau of
Prisons' Inmate Financial Responsibility Program. If any amount of the restitution remains unpaid after release from custody, nominal monthly
payments of at least 10% of defendant's gross monthly income but not less than $50, whichever is greater, shall be made during the period of
supervised release and shall begin 90 days after the commencement of supervision. Nominal restitution payments are ordered as the Court finds
that the defendant's economic circumstances do not allow for either immediate or future payment of the amount ordered.

Pursuant to 18 USC 3612(f)(3)(A), interest on the restitution ordered is waived because the defendant does not have the ability to pay
interest. Payments may be subject to penalties for default and delinquency pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 3612(g).

The defendant shall comply with Second Amended General Order No. 20-04.

The defendant shall be placed on supervised release for a term of FOUR (4) YEARS under the following terms and conditions:

1. The defendant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the United States Probation & Pretrial Services Office and Second
Amended General Order No. 20-04.

located at 300 N. Los Angeles Street, Suite 1300, Los Angeles, California 90012-3323.

communication or data storage device or media, and effects to search and seizure at any time of the day or night by any law
enforcement or probation officer, with or without a warrant, and with or without cause.

8. If stopped or questioned by a law enforcement officer for any reason, defendant shall notify that officer that defendant is on federal
supervised release and subject to search with or without cause.

The drug testing condition mandated by statute is suspended based on the Court’s determination that the defendant poses a low risk of
future substance abuse.

The Court dismisses all remaining counts of the underlying indictment as to this defendant.

The Court recommends that the defendant be assigned to a federal correctional facility in the Southern California area.

The Court informs the defendant of his right to appeal.
In addition to the special conditions of supervision imposed above, it is hereby ordered that the Standard Conditions of Probation and
