STATEMENT REQUIRED BY THE PRIVACY ACT
The following statements are made in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a): The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is authorized by the Consolidated Farm
and Rural Development Act, (7 U.S.C. 1921 et seq.), and the regulations promulgated thereunder, to solicit the information requested. The information requested is
necessary for FSA to determine eligibility for credit or other financial assistance, service your loan, and conduct statistical analyses. Supplied information may be furnished
to other Department of Agriculture agencies, the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Justice or other law enforcement agencies, the Department of Defense, the
Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Labor, the United States Postal Service, or other Federal, State, or local agencies as required or permitted
by law. In addition, information may be referred to interested parties under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), to financial consultants, advisors, lending institutions,
packagers, agents, and private or commercial credit sources, to collection or servicing contractors, to credit reporting agencies, to private attorneys under contract with FSA
or the Department of Justice, to business firms in the trade area that buy chattel or crops or sell them for commission, to Members of Congress or Congressional staff
members, or to courts or adjudicative bodies. Disclosure of the information requested is voluntary. However, failure to disclose information requested, including your Social
Security Number or Federal Tax Identification Number, may result in a delay in the processing of an application or its rejection.
RIGHT TO FINANCIAL PRIVACY ACT OF 1978
FSA has a right of access to financial records held by financial institutions in connection with providing assistance to you, as well as collecting on loans made to you or
guaranteed by the government. Financial records involving your transaction will be available to FSA without further notice or authorization but will not be disclosed or
released by this institution to another government Agency or Department without your consent except as required by law.
THE FEDERAL EQUAL CREDIT OPPORTUNITY ACT prohibits creditors from discriminating against applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national
origin, marital status, or age (provided the applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract), because all or a part of the applicant's income derives from any public
assistance program, or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.
CERTIFICATIONS, RESTRICTIONS, AND DISCLOSURE OF LOBBYING ACTIVITIES
1. The loan applicant certifies that: if any funds, by or on behalf of the loan applicant, have been or will be paid to any person for influencing or attempting to influence
an officer or employee of any agency, a Member, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with the awarding of
any Federal contract, the making of any Federal grant or Federal loan, and the extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of any Federal contract,
grant, or loan, the loan applicant shall complete and submit Standard Form - LLL, ''Disclosure of Lobbying Activities,'' in accordance with its instructions.
2. The loan applicant shall require that the language of this certification be included in the award documents for all sub-awards at all tiers (including contacts,
subcontracts, and subgrants, under grants and loans) and that all subrecipients shall certify and disclose accordingly.
3. This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was made or entered into. Submission of this statement
is a prerequisite for making or entering into this transaction and is imposed by 31 U.S.C. 1352. Any person who fails to file the required statement shall be subject
to a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 and not more than $100,000 for each failure.
ABUSE OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES
The loan applicant certifies that he or she as an individual, or any member of an entity applicant, has not been convicted under Federal or State law of planting, cultivating,
growing, producing, harvesting, or storing a controlled substance within the last 5 crop years, in accordance with 21 U.S.C. 889. The loan applicant also certifies that he/she
as an individual, or any member of an entity applicant, is not ineligible for federal benefits based on a conviction for the distribution of controlled substances or any offense
involving the possession of a controlled substance under 21 U.S.C. 862.
TEST FOR CREDIT
The individual or authorized party certifies that the needed credit without a loan guarantee, cannot be obtained by the individual applicant, or in the case of an entity, the
needed credit cannot be obtained considering all assets owned by the entity and all of the individual members.
FEDERAL DEBT
The loan applicant certifies and acknowledges that any amounts paid by FSA on account of the liabilities of the guaranteed loan borrower will constitute a Federal debt
owing to FSA by the guaranteed loan borrower. In such case, FSA may use all remedies available to it, including offset under the Debt Collection Improvement Act, to
collect the debt from the borrower. The Agency's right to collect is independent of the lender's right to collect under the guaranteed note and will not be affected by any
release by the lender of my (our) obligation to repay the loan. Any Agency collection under this paragraph will not be shared with the lender.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I certify that I accept and comply with the conditions stated thereon. I certify that the statements made by me in this application are true, complete, and correct to the best of
my knowledge and belief and are made in good faith to obtain a loan. I understand that the approval period will not begin until a complete application has been filed.
(Warning: section 1001 of Title 18, United States Code provides for criminal penalties to those who provide false statements on loans. If any information on this application
is found to be false or incomplete, such finding may be grounds for denial of the requested credit and civil and criminal prosecution.)
