USA vs. Muhammad Noor Ul Ain Atta Docket No.: CR 22-323 PA

It is ordered that the defendant shall pay to the United States a special assessment of $200, 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.

It is ordered that the defendant shall pay restitution in the total amount of $6,643,540.00 pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3663A.

The amount of restitution ordered shall be paid as follows:

Victim Amount

Office of Financial Program Operation

U.S. Small Business Administration $600,000.00

Office of Disaster Assistance $4,923,475.00

The Court finds from a consideration of the record that the defendant's economic circumstances allow for restitution
payments pursuant to the following schedule: 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, monthly payments of at least 10% of defendant's

These payments shall begin 90 days after the commencement of supervision.

Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 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).

If the defendant makes a partial payment, each payee shall receive approximately proportional payment unless another
priority order or percentage payment is specified in the judgment.

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

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

Pursuant to the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, it is the judgment of the Court that the defendant, Muhammad N. Atta,
is hereby committed on Counts 1 and 2 of the Information to the custody of the Bureau of Prisons for a term of 72 months.
