The Business must duly execute and deliver the following to the Department within 90 days from the date the loan was approved:

Loan agreement;

(b)

Promissory note;

If required, a copy of the First Source Agreement; and

(d)

Any other certificates, opinions and documents as the Department may reasonably require regarding the authorization of the loan agreement, the promissory note and any related documents.

(4)

Loan funds must be disbursed to the Business no later than 120 days after the loan was approved, provided that the Department, in the reasonable exercise of its administrative discretion, has made a determination that there are sufficient funds in the OBEP Fund to make the disbursement;

If the actual number of new Full-time Jobs is less than the number of new Full-time Jobs proposed at the time the loan was approved, the Business must immediately repay to the Department an amount equal to: (the loan amount multiplied by .5) multiplied by (1 – (the actual number of new Full-time Jobs / the required number of new Full-time Jobs); and

(7)

The Business must submit a report to the Department which lists categories of new positions created in the time period used to calculate the personal income tax, as described in paragraph e. above, the average hourly wage of the new positions, and the number of persons hired to fill those positions.
