Section 4003 of the CARES Act ( 15 U.S.C. 9042 ) is amended by adding at the end the following: The Secretary of the Treasury shall, using amounts made available under subsection (b)(4), implement a program that provides financing of not less than $1,000,000,000 for loans to community-owned or private businesses that— had revenue in 2019 of not more than $35,000,000; and have contractual obligations for making lease, rent, or bond payments for publicly owned sports facilities, museums, and community theaters.
Any such loan shall have the following terms and such other terms as the Secretary shall determine: A term of 15 years. An annualized interest rate of not higher than the London Inter-bank Offered Rate plus 200 basis points. Not include a requirement to provide collateral or a guaranty of such loan. Not exceed $25,000,000 and shall be in an amount as determined between the recipient and the lender (but in no event shall the amount of such loan be determined based on the recipient’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization).
Interest and principal on each such loan shall be paid as follows: For the first 12 months after any such loan is made, or for such longer period as the Secretary may determine in his discretion, no principal or interest shall be due and payable. From year 2 through year 14 of the term of any such loan, interest on the principal amount of such loan shall be payable monthly and 2.31 percent of the principal amount of such loan shall be payable at the end of each such year. In year 15 of the term of any such loan, interest shall be payable monthly and the remaining 70 percent of the principal amount of such loan shall be paid at the end of such year.
The recipient shall be permitted to prepay any such loan at any time without premium or penalty. Any eligible borrower applying for a loan under this program shall make a good-faith certification that: The uncertainty of economic conditions as of the date of the application makes necessary the loan request to support the ongoing operations of the recipient. The recipient reasonably believes that the positive economic impact generated by the use of the funds it receives will exceed the loan amount.
The recipient is an entity or business that is domiciled in the United States with significant operations and employees located in the United States. The recipient is not a debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding. The recipient is created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States. The recipient will use the proceeds of such loan for purposes directly connected to contracted services, including performances and sporting events, at such facility. These eligible purposes shall be:
Rent, lease, or bond payments or other obligations (including property taxes) to the owner of the facility for use of the facility. Utilities at the facility. Employee compensation, including benefits, for employees of the recipient whose employment is directly connected to services rendered at the facility; provided, no funds may be used for compensation of an officer or employee at a rate that would exceed $100,000 per annum. Working capital, trade payables, insurance premiums, and refunds relating to the facility.
Facility improvements agreed to by the recipient and, if applicable the entity with authority over the facility’s budget and operations. Other purposes which improve the infrastructure and/or project development surrounding the facility. .
