consideration of authorization by the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and 

the Department of Treasury for Lender to make Paycheck Protection Program SBA-guaranteed

(“CARES Act”) (P.L. 116-136) to eligible recipients, as follows (the “Agreement”):

1. Lender Eligibility Requirements.

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, section 7(a)(36) of the Small Business Act, any rules 

or guidance that has 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 

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% 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. 
SBA Form 3506 (04-20)

A. A Lender’s authority to make a covered loan under this Agreement will terminate on July 1, 

2020. 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 

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 7(a)(36) of the Small Business Act, including 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.
SBA Form 3506 (04-20)

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.

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 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.
