2. Application for Guaranty. This Agreement governs only “covered loans,” duly approved
under delegated authority hereafter for guaranty by SBA, that are subject to the Paycheck
Protection Program under the CARES Act and the Economic Aid Act, sections 7(a)(36),
7(a)(37), and 7A of the Small Business Act, any rules that have been issued by SBA
implementing the Paycheck Protection Program, or any other applicable Loan Program
Requirements, as defined in 13 CFR § 120.10, as amended from time to time (collectively “PPP
Loan Program Requirements”).
3. Approval of Guaranty. Lender will process and approve covered loans under delegated
authority from SBA. Lender assumes all obligations, responsibilities, and requirements
associated with delegated processing of covered loans made under the Paycheck Protection
Program. Any change in the terms or conditions stated in the loan authorization shall be made in
3
SBA Form 3507 (04/2021)
accordance with PPP Loan Program Requirements. For purposes of making covered loans to an
eligible recipient under the Paycheck Protection Program, Lender is responsible, to the extent set
forth in the PPP Loan Program Requirements, for all decisions concerning the eligibility
(including size) of a borrower for a covered loan. Lender may issue a covered loan approved
under PPP procedures without prior SBA review and approval of the processing and
underwriting of the loan by executing a PPP Authorization.
4. Closing and Disbursement of Covered Loans. Lender must close and disburse each covered
loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of the PPP Authorization and PPP Loan
Program Requirements. Lender must ensure that a note and all other Loan Documents (as
defined in this paragraph) and additional documents are properly executed and take such other
actions necessary to fulfill the requirements of the Paycheck Protection Program. SBA is
entitled, at any time, to examine and obtain copies of all notes, certifications and documentation
(herein, collectively, called “Loan Documents”), and all other records held by Lender which
relate to covered loans made pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program.
5. Administration of Covered Loans. Lender will hold the Loan Documents and receive all
payments of principal and interest unless Lender is required to transfer or assign the note to SBA
or a third party at SBA’s direction. Lender must service and liquidate all covered loans made
under the Paycheck Protection Program in accordance with PPP Loan Program Requirements.
Except when SBA directs otherwise, all servicing actions will be the responsibility of Lender,
which must follow accepted standards of loan servicing employed by prudent lenders.
6. Purchase by SBA. By making any written demand that SBA purchase the guaranteed portion
of a loan, Lender will be deemed thereby to certify that the covered loan has been made, closed,
serviced, and liquidated in compliance with the Paycheck Protection Program and PPP Loan
Program Requirements. This Agreement will remain in full force and effect with respect to the
covered loan after any purchase.
7. Prohibited Fees. Other than a fixed interest rate of 1.0%, calculated on a non-compounding,
non-adjustable basis, on the covered loan, Lender is not permitted to charge or receive any
bonus, fee, prepayment penalty, commission or other payment or benefit from a borrower in
connection with the making or servicing of any covered loan under the Paycheck Protection
Program.
8. Termination.
A. A Lender’s authority to make a covered loan under this Agreement will terminate on July 1,
2021. Either party may also terminate this Agreement upon not less than 10 days written
notice by certified mail to the other party. Termination will not affect the guaranty of any
covered loan previously authorized by SBA under the Paycheck Protection Program. It is
understood and agreed that Lender shall continue to comply with the Paycheck Protection
Program and PPP Loan Program Requirements with respect to any covered loan previously
authorized by SBA, including but not limited to the servicing and liquidation of such covered
loans. Termination by either party will not affect in any way Lender’s continuing obligation
to comply with this Agreement, the Paycheck Protection Program, and all PPP Loan Program
Requirements with respect to any covered loan previously authorized by SBA under this
Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated by either Lender or SBA, Lender hereby agrees
4
SBA Form 3507 (04/2021)
that SBA may in its sole discretion transfer some or all of the covered loans and/or the
servicing and liquidation of such covered loans and related fees or income to SBA or another
entity approved by SBA. If SBA requires the transfer of Lender’s covered loans, Lender
must cooperate with SBA to transfer responsibility for servicing and liquidating of such
covered loans.
B. The guaranty of any covered loan will be automatically terminated if Lender does not submit
to SBA a demand to purchase the guaranty or a request to extend the maturity within one
year after the maturity of the note.
9. Assignment. Lender may only assign or transfer its rights and obligations under this
Agreement with SBA’s prior written consent, which SBA may withhold in its sole discretion.
10. Interpretation of this Agreement.
A. This Agreement is subject to sections 7(a)(36), 7(a)(37), and 7A of the Small Business Act,
the Paycheck Protection Program and PPP Loan Program Requirements and will be
interpreted and construed subject to, and to give full effect to, the broad scope of SBA’s
power and authority under the Small Business Act and those requirements. Lender consents
and agrees to all rights and remedies available to SBA under the Small Business Act, the
Paycheck Protection Program and PPP Loan Program Requirements, as each of those are
amended from time to time, and any other applicable law.
B. To the best of its knowledge, Lender certifies that it is in compliance and will maintain
compliance with all applicable requirements of the Paycheck Protection Program and PPP
Loan Program Requirements.
C. Lender understands that SBA’s rights and powers under the Small Business Act, the
Paycheck Protection Program and PPP Loan Program Requirements are in addition to, and
exist independent of, this Agreement, and that nothing in this Agreement may be asserted
against SBA under any circumstances to delay or prevent SBA’s full exercise of its rights
under applicable law.
D. Lender agrees to hold SBA harmless for any action taken by SBA in enforcing this
Agreement, the Small Business Act, the Paycheck Protection Program and PPP Loan
Program Requirements against Lender for any covered loan made under this Agreement.
E. Lender agrees that any modification to this Agreement to be asserted against SBA or any
exemption to be claimed from any provision of the Small Business Act, the Paycheck
Protection Program, or PPP Loan Program Requirements is invalid, null, and void unless it is
made in writing by an official of SBA authorized to grant such modification or exemption
and was made after full disclosure to SBA of all material facts and circumstances.
F. This Agreement is to be interpreted under and construed in accordance with federal law.
G. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Lender’s authorized
successors and assigns.

H. Lender understands that its execution and transmission to SBA of this Agreement does not
grant automatic enrollment in the Paycheck Protection Program. SBA and the Department of
Treasury will evaluate Lender and this Agreement in accordance with the PPP Loan Program
Requirements and determine whether Lender has the necessary qualifications to process,
close, disburse, and service loans made with the SBA guarantee. SBA and the Department of
Treasury may request additional information from Lender before making a determination.
By signing below, I hereby certify that I have the authority to execute this Agreement for the
Lender on whose behalf I am signing, and that all representations made are true and correct to
the best of my knowledge. I further acknowledge that on behalf of the Lender I have also
submitted an Incumbency Certificate attached hereto. I further acknowledge that on behalf of
the Lender I have also submitted Lender’s most recent fiscal year-end audited financial
statements attached hereto. I further acknowledge that any false statements made to the U.S.
Small Business Administration and Department of the Treasury can result in criminal
prosecution under 18 U.S.C. 1001, 15 U.S.C. 645, and other provisions and imposition of civil
money penalties under 31 U.S.C. 3729.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has duly executed this Agreement.
