1. That the Subject named in the EV Certificate is actively engaged in doing business;
2. That the Subject named in the EV Certificate complies with applicable laws;
3. That the Subject named in the EV Certificate is trustworthy, honest, or reputable in its business dealings; or
4. That it is "safe" to do business with the Subject named in the EV Certificate.
