NOTICES REQUIRED BY LAW

The following is a brief summary of the laws applicable to this solicitation of information.

PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35)

In Exhibits to the Small Business Investment Company Management Assessment Questionnaire and License Application (“Exhibits”) where there is an advisory of “Notices Required by Law”, SBA will use the information that has been provided in connection with an investigation of your experience and character. The scope of this investigation may include contact with banks, other financial institutions, individuals, business associates, law enforcement offices (including but not limited to SBA's Office of Inspector General and the Federal Bureau of Investigation), and any others that will assist SBA in making an adequate appraisal of your general business reputation and character.

PRIVACY ACT (5 U.S.C. 522a)

Any person can request to see or get copies of any personal information that SBA has when those records are retrievable by individual identifiers, such as name or social security number. See 13 C.F.R. Part 102, Subpart B. However, requests for information about another party may be denied unless SBA has the written permission of the individual to release the information to the requestor or unless the information is subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552).

Generally, under the provisions of the Privacy Act, you are not required to provide your social security number and the failure to provide your social security number may not affect any right, benefit or privilege to which you are entitled. However, the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (31 U.S.C. 7701(c)(1)) permits a Federal agency to require each person doing business with that agency to furnish to that agency that person’s taxpayer identification number (TIN). Therefore, it is mandatory that you furnish your TIN pursuant to the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996. Additionally, disclosure of your name and other personal information requested is mandatory. SBA is required under Section 301(c)(3) of the Small Business Investment Act, 15 U.S.C. 681(c)(3), to consider the general business reputation of certain key individuals in order to make a determination about whether each individual has the business experience and character necessary to participate in the SBIC program. Your social security number and other personal identifiers assist SBA in making these determinations required by law. If you do not provide this information, SBA will be unable to reach a favorable determination concerning your participation in the SBIC program.

The Privacy Act authorizes SBA to make certain “routine uses” of information protected by that Act. One such routine use is that when this information indicates a violation or potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or administrative in nature, SBA may refer it to the appropriate agency, whether Federal, State, local or foreign, charged with responsibility for or otherwise involved in investigation, prosecution, enforcement or prevention of such violations. Another routine use of personal information is to assist in obtaining credit bureau reports, including consumer credit reports and scores on the principals of the SBIC applicant, for the purpose of determining whether to approve a principal’s participation in the SBIC program. See 69 FR 58598 (and as amended from time to time) for additional background and other routine uses.

Any person concerned with the collection of information, its mandatory or voluntary nature, disclosure or routine use under the Privacy Act, or requesting information under the Freedom of Information Act may contact the Chief, Freedom of Information/Privacy Acts Division, Small Business Administration, Washington, D.C. 20416.

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (5 U.S.C. 552)

This law provides, with some exceptions, that we must make records or portions of records contained in our files available to persons requesting them. This generally includes aggregate statistical information on the SBIC program and other information such as names of licensed SBICs and names of companies that have been financed by SBICs. We do not routinely make available to third parties your proprietary data or information that would cause competitive harm or would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.

To request information under this Act, you must send the request to the SBA office maintaining the records requested or the Chief, FOI/PA Office, 409 3^rd Street, SW, Washington, DC 20416, or by e-mail to [email protected],and identify it as a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The request must describe the specific records you want.

All individuals or entities who own or control, directly or indirectly, securities of the SBIC equivalent to thirty-three percent (33%) or more of the outstanding securities of the SBIC.
All investment committee members and any individual whose role is highly influential (SBA liaison, officers and employees of the applicant’s investment advisor/manager with day-to-day management responsibility and/or signing authority for the applicant).

Each individual listed in Table B1 must submit an Exhibit C-1, Statement of Personal History – Individuals, and each entity listed in Table B1 must submit an Exhibit C-2, Statement of Personal History – Entities. Each individual required to be finger-printed must submit two (2) fingerprint cards, using Form FD-258.

GUIDELINES FOR FINGERPRINT CARDS

GENERAL RULE: Unless one of the exemptions below applies, each individual listed in Table B1 must submit two (2) fingerprint cards. Please be advised that SBA, in its sole discretion, may require a Statement of Personal History and fingerprint cards from any person associated with the SBIC applicant, even if that person is not listed in Table B1.

Note that fingerprint card form FD-258 must be used and must be preprinted with SBA’s agency identification. These forms can be obtained directly from SBA through a program development analyst, operations analyst, or by sending an email request to [email protected].

EXEMPTIONS: The entities listed below are exempt from the requirement that their three ranking managers submit fingerprint cards. However, if one of the three ranking managers has an arrest record, that individual must submit fingerprint cards regardless of these exemptions.

Companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Advisors registered under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940.
Broker-Dealers registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
Federal Home Loan Banks.
National banks regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, FDIC members, or federal savings associations regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision.
Any company subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act or regulated as a Financial Holding Company under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
U.S. subsidiaries of foreign banks that take deposits in the U.S., provided the subsidiary has a net worth of at least $10 million.
Foreign banks that do NOT accept deposits in the U.S. and which have a net worth of $50 million or greater, and have publicly available audited financial statements.
Domestic insurance companies with a minimum of $10 million of surplus.
Any corporation (domestic or foreign) whose stock (or ADRs) trades on the New York Stock Exchange.
Any company required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 15(d) or 12(g) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and whose net worth is $20 million or greater, and whose stock trades on the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market.

Entities tax-exempt under §501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code with assets of $10 million or greater, net of liabilities.
Foreign entities substantially equivalent to those exempted above, as determined by the SBA.

Example of a Fingerprint Exemption: Assume the following structure:

CHART B1

The starting point in this analysis is the recognition that LP#1 is an entity investor which has a 33% ownership interest in SBIC. Therefore, under the Item No. A3 of the instructions on the first page of this exhibit, this entity is required to be listed in Table B1.
As an entity investor, LP#1 is required to list its three ranking managers or officers in Table B1 (see Item No. A5), and under the fingerprint guidelines, each ranking manager of LP#1 is required to submit fingerprint cards, unless an exemption applies.
Since, however, LP#1 is owned by a registered broker-dealer under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the managers or officers of the registered broker-dealer are exempt from the fingerprint requirement, and because an exemption has been reached, the analysis for this investor can stop.

CONTRACT

In order to induce the SBA to provide Leverage under Section 303 of the Act, Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the immediate payment of all Obligations, if the Guarantor Participates In an Impermissible Change of Control; it being understood that SBA is not required to pursue or exhaust any other remedies before proceeding under this Contract. Guarantor waives any right to require SBA to proceed against SBIC or any of its assets, or to proceed against or exhaust any collateral security that may have been given to SBA in connection with SBIC’s obligations to SBA or to pursue any other remedy in SBA’s power whatsoever. Guarantor also waives any and all presentments, demands, protests or notices otherwise required to be given to Guarantor.

If Guarantor Participates In an Impermissible Change of Control, SBA may, at its option and without notice to Guarantor, proceed directly against Guarantor to collect and recover the full amount of the Obligations; however, if SBA provides Leverage to SBIC after full written disclosure by SBIC or Guarantor of the Change of Control to an official of SBA with authority to approve additional Leverage, then Guarantor shall not have any liability for the future Obligations associated with such Leverage. The commission of a Permitted Transfer without SBA’s consent will not subject the Guarantor to liability under this Contract.

Furthermore, if SBA provides Leverage to the SBIC after written notification to an authorized SBA official that the Guarantor no longer meets any of the criteria in (i) through (v) above of the Instructions to this Contract, Guarantor shall have no liability with respect to such subsequent Leverage.

This Contract shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) repayment in full of all Leverage drawn by SBIC and all expenses incurred by SBA in enforcing its rights under this Contract or (ii) the written consent of SBA by an authorized official.

Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that, without notice and without affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder, from time to time, whether before or after an Impermissible Change of Control has occurred, SBA may renew, extend, grant indulgences or otherwise change the time for payment or performance or otherwise change any other term or condition of SBIC’s obligations to SBA or otherwise deal with SBIC as SBA may elect, all without in any way diminishing, releasing or discharging the liability of Guarantor hereunder. Upon payment of its liability under this Contract, Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of SBA to receive payments and distributions of assets from SBIC in connection with any and all Leverage provided by SBA to SBIC.

If any term or provision of this Contract is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not in any way affect or impair the remaining terms and provisions of this Contract.

This Transferor’s Liability Contract is binding upon Guarantor, its successors and assigns/heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives, and may not be waived, amended, modified or, except upon repayment in full of all Leverage as provided above, terminated or discharged except in a writing signed by Guarantor and an authorized official of SBA; provided, that, Guarantor agrees and consents to any assignment of this Contract by SBA, in which event it shall inure to the benefit of any such assignee with the same force and effect as though said assignee was specifically named herein, and Guarantor hereby waives any notice of any such assignment. This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable Federal laws and the laws of the State of organization of SBIC.

PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS CONTRACT, BE CERTAIN THAT YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND THE LIABILITY THAT YOU ARE ASSUMING IN THE EVENT THAT YOU PARTICIPATE IN AN “IMPERMISSIBLE” TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned party (or parties) has (have) affixed his/her (their) signature(s) hereto.

DECLARATION

AS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE U.S. SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (“SBA”) TO ISSUE THE APPLICANT A LICENSE AS A SMALL BUSINESS INVESTMENT COMPANY AND/OR TO PROVIDE SBA FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THE APPLICANT HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS TO AND COVENANTS AND AGREES WITH SBA AS FOLLOWS:

1. Investors^⁷. The attached Tables M1A, M1B, M1C and M1D state:

the name and address of each investor of Applicant (including the Applicant’s general partner(s) for limited partnerships, but excluding the SBA, its agents, trustees or representatives);
the amount of each investor’s total capital commitment to Applicant (“Capital Commitment”);
the amount of each investor’s Capital Commitment which has been paid to Applicant in cash^⁸ (“Paid-In Capital”) on or before the date hereof; and
the unpaid balance of each investor’s Capital Commitment (“Unfunded Commitment”).

2. Institutional Investor Status. Tables M1A, M1B, M1C and M1D further specify:

whether each investor is an Entity Institutional Investor, an Individual Institutional Investor or an Other Investor^⁹;
for each investor designated as an Entity or Individual Institutional Investor, the subsection of the definition of Institutional Investor in 13 CFR §107.50 under which such investor qualifies as an Institutional Investor; and

for each investor designated as an Entity Institutional Investor, the type of entity.

3. Representations and Warranties of Institutional Investors. Each investor listed as an Institutional Investor whose unfunded commitment is included in Regulatory Capital has represented and warranted to, and agreed with, the Applicant that, with respect to such investor:

it meets the criteria for qualifying as an Institutional Investor under that subsection of the definition of Institutional Investor (see 13 CFR §107.50) designated in Tables M1A, M1B and M1D; See Addendum A to Exhibit M for information on the use of dual commitments.

if such investor has a net worth of less than $10 million, (i) its Unfunded Commitment does not exceed ten percent (10%) of its net worth or (ii) if its Unfunded Commitment exceeds 10%, SBA has approved an unconditional, irrevocable letter of credit for the term of the commitment to be issued by a state or national bank in favor of Applicant, in an amount not less than such investor’s Unfunded Commitment, a signed copy of which letter of credit has been supplied to SBA, and the required information concerning such letter of credit is listed in Table M3;^¹⁰
until all of its Capital Commitment has been paid, such investor will notify Applicant promptly of any change that causes the information in Tables M1A through M1I or in this Section 3 concerning such investor to be incorrect;
its Capital Commitment constitutes Private Capital (as defined in 13 CFR §107.230), and except as specified in Table M1H, no part of such Capital Commitment constitutes Qualified Nonprivate Funds (as defined in 13 CFR §107.230(d)); and
if the investor is an individual, such investor is a permanent resident of the United States or has, in writing, irrevocably appointed the person or entity specified on Table M2 as such investor’s agent for service of process, or
if the investor is an entity, such investor is qualified to do business and maintains a place of business in one or more states of the United States, the District of Columbia or U.S. possessions or has in writing, irrevocably appointed the person or entity specified on Table M2 as such investor’s agent for service of process.

4. Individual Institutional Investors. For each investor listed in Table M1B or M1D as an Institutional Investor pursuant to subsection 2(i)(A) of the definition of Institutional Investor, SBA has approved an unconditional irrevocable letter of credit to be issued by a state or national bank in favor of Applicant, in an amount not less than such investor’s Unfunded Commitment, a signed copy of which letter of credit has been delivered to SBA and the required information concerning such letter of credit listed on Table M3).

5. Diversity Investors. Each investor whose name is followed by “Y” in the column headed “Diversity Investor” in Tables M1A, M1B, M1C and M1D qualifies as a diversity investor for purposes of the Management and Ownership Diversity requirement (13 CFR §107.150(b))^¹¹. Table M1F lists the amount and percentage of Applicant’s Regulatory Capital and Leverageable Capital, respectively, that consists of the capital committed and/or contributed by such diversity investors.

6. Qualified Nonprivate Funds. Table M1H shows Applicant’s “Qualified Nonprivate Funds” (as defined in 13 CFR §107.230(d)) and the ratio of such Qualified Nonprivate Funds to Applicant’s Regulatory Capital.

7. Associate Investors. Table M1I shows all of Applicant’s investors that are Associates of Applicant (as defined in 13 CFR §107.50), and Table M1J shows persons who are investors and who may be affiliates of one another.

8. Guarantees. For each investor listed in Table M1A or Table M1B as an Institutional Investor through the approved use of a guarantee agreement, SBA has approved the guarantee agreement (a signed copy must be submitted to SBA if the amount of the Unfunded Commitment is to be included as part of Regulatory Capital). Note that guarantees are only permitted in certain specifically defined situations. See Addendum A to Exhibit M for information on the use of guarantee agreements.

9. Investor’s Payment Covenant. Each investor must pay its Unfunded Commitment to Applicant at the times and in the amounts specified in documents approved by SBA (“Investor’s Payment Covenant”), subject only to those conditions permitting a withdrawal: (i) if Applicant is a limited partnership, in Applicant’s Partnership Agreement (including, if applicable any SBA Annex), (ii) if Applicant is a corporation, in its articles of incorporation, or (iii) if Applicant is a limited liability company, in its operating agreement, provided each such document has been approved by SBA (“Organizational Document”). Each investor has represented to Applicant that such Investor’s Payment Covenant has been duly authorized and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such investor (except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or moratorium laws or other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally).

10. Changes in Investor’s Payment Covenant. Without the prior written approval of SBA, Applicant shall not release, amend, extend, compromise, cancel, forgive or otherwise waive any Investor’s Payment Covenant or Applicant’s right to receive payment when due of any investor’s Unfunded Commitment, other than as provided in Applicant’s Organizational Documents.

11. Pre-Licensing Investments. Applicant has made “approved pre‑licensing investments” in the Portfolio Concerns on the dates and in the amounts (stated at their cost) set forth in Table M5. As used in Table M5, the column headed “Additional Obligation” means Applicant’s unfunded binding commitment to provide additional financing to the Portfolio Concern, which amount was included in the approval received from SBA, but does not qualify as Leverageable Capital and which amount should be listed in Table M5. (After Applicant receives its license, Table M5 does not need to be completed for subsequent Capital Certificates.)

12. Changes in Regulatory Capital. Applicant certifies that Table M1G reflects all changes in its Regulatory Capital since the date on which Applicant filed with SBA its application for an SBIC license.

13. Management Fees. Applicant certifies that Table M1L indicates the date, if any, it began drawing a management fee based upon an assumed use of Leverage greater than Combined Capital for purposes of establishing the five year period that management fees may be computed based on assumed Leverage (If the management fee is not computed on the basis of assumed Leverage use, insert N/A in Table M1L.) (See SBIC Tech Note No. 7, December 2000, or 7A, December 2003.)

14. Changes in Capital Certificate. Applicant shall notify SBA promptly if Applicant learns that any information contained in this Certificate (including the Tables attached to this Certificate) is incorrect or incomplete or if any investor fails to pay, when due, any required payment of such investor’s Unfunded Commitment or if any investor notifies Applicant that it will not pay its Unfunded Commitment or otherwise desires to withdraw from Applicant. Applicant shall also notify SBA promptly if any letter of credit or guarantee agreement provided by an investor to Applicant expires, ceases to be in full force and effect, or is modified, renewed or replaced; and if such letter of credit is renewed or replaced, Applicant shall give SBA a copy of such renewal or replacement letter of credit.

15. Criminal Prosecution. Applicant acknowledges that any intentionally false statement or willful misrepresentation contained in this certificate is a violation of Federal law and is subject to criminal prosecution and civil penalties under 18 USC §§287, 371, 1001, and 1006; 15 USC §645; and 31 USC §3729.

GUARANTEES AND DUAL COMMITMENTS

NOTES ON THE USE OF GUARANTEES AND DUAL COMMITMENTS

In certain limited situations, SBA will allow an Applicant to use a guarantee and/or a dual commitment arrangement so the Applicant can include in its Regulatory Capital the Commitments of non-Institutional Investors. The circumstances under which SBA will permit the use of a guarantee and the requirements for using a guarantee are described in Section I below. The circumstances under which SBA will permit the use of the dual commitment arrangement and the requirements for a dual commitment are described in Section II below.

I. Guarantees for IRAs, Keoghs, Family Trusts and Family Investment Partnerships

An IRA, Keogh, family trust or family investment partnership that does not qualify as an Entity Institutional Investor may use a guarantee to have its Commitment included as part of Regulatory Capital. Adverse tax consequences may result for the IRA or Keogh, however, so SBICs and investors are cautioned to consult with legal counsel before using a guarantee in this situation.

How Does it Work. The IRA, Keogh, family trust or family investment partnership obtains a guarantee from an Institutional Investor for the full amount of its Unfunded Commitment. For example, for IRAs and Keoghs, if the individual who created the retirement account qualifies as an Institutional Investor, that individual can guarantee the full amount of the Unfunded Commitment of the IRA or Keogh to the Applicant. If the amount of the Unfunded Commitment is to be included in Regulatory Capital, the guarantee must be in the form approved by SBA (see the SBA web site for the form that must be used) and the guarantee must be executed and a copy submitted to SBA before the licensing approval process can be finalized.

How is this Reflected on the Capital Certificate. The IRA, Keogh, family trust or family investment partnership is listed on the Capital Certificate as an Entity Institutional Investor under subsection 1(xi), followed by a footnote describing the guarantee arrangement and the name of the guarantor and the clause of the Institutional Investor definition of 13 CFR §107.50 under which the guarantor qualifies as an Institutional Investor.

II. Dual Commitments

How Does it Work. The “dual commitment” arrangement works by having one or more Institutional Investors (“back-up investor”) make a Capital Commitment to the Applicant identical to that made by the non‑Institutional Investor (“primary investor”). When a capital call is made, the back‑up investor is excused from funding its Unfunded Commitment to the extent the primary investor funds its own Unfunded Commitment on a timely basis. Both the primary investor and the back‑up investor are limited partners or members, as applicable, and must sign the Applicant’s limited partnership agreement or operating agreement as limited partners or members, as applicable. In addition, both the primary investor and the back‑up investor must be listed as investors in Table M1D of the Capital Certificate and in the schedule of partners attached to the limited partnership agreement.

When more than one Institutional Investor is serving as a back-up investor, each such Institutional Investor may make a Capital Commitment that is equal to only a proportionate amount of the primary investor’s Capital Commitment, so long as the total of all Capital Commitments of such Institutional Investors equals 100% of the primary investor’s Capital Commitment. Each Institutional Investor serving as a back-up investor must be listed on the Capital Certificate and the schedule of partners/members attached to the limited partnership agreement or member agreement in the case of limited liability companies with a designation as to the proportionate share for which each such Institutional Investor is obligated.

The suggested footnote language below can be used on the signature pages and the schedule of partners/members to clarify the dual commitment arrangement.

If [Primary Investor] makes a cash Capital Contribution to the Partnership, then simultaneously with such cash Capital Contribution, the Capital Commitment of [Back‑up Investor] shall be reduced in an amount equal to that cash Capital Contribution and the Capital Contribution required to be made by [Back‑up Investor] at the time shall be reduced by the same amount.

How is this Reflected on the Capital Certificate. The primary investor and each back-up investor are listed on the Capital Certificate on Table M1D. Each back-up investor must indicate the amount of the primary investor’s Capital Commitment for which it is obligated and the appropriate subsection of the definition of Institutional Investor under which it is qualified.

Applicants and their counsel should note that neither the guarantee nor the dual commitment approach automatically qualifies Unfunded Commitments from investors that do not qualify as Institutional Investors as part of Regulatory Capital, and in every instance, a guarantee and/or dual commitment arrangement is subject to SBA’s approval.

NOTES ON DROP-DOWN FUNDS

Applicants that are “drop-down funds” (i.e., funded by one or more parent venture funds) should use the standard Capital Certificate with these changes/additions:

Unless SBA otherwise approves, SBA requires each parent fund of an Applicant to be the Applicant’s primary investor (“Class A investor”) and each parent fund’s Institutional Investors to become stand-by investors (“Class B investors”) in the Applicant. Each Class B investor must sign the Applicant’s partnership/membership agreement.
Unless SBA otherwise approves, a parent fund of the Applicant is not considered an Institutional Investor and should be listed as an “Other Investor” in Table M1C.
The names and address of all of the Institutional Investors in the parent fund of the Applicant (including those making dual commitments), along with their respective capital commitments, paid-in capital and unfunded commitments, must be listed in Table M1A, M1B or M1D, as appropriate.
The names and addresses of those parent fund investors that do not qualify as Institutional Investors, along with the amount of their respective capital commitments, paid-in capital and unfunded commitments, must be listed in Table M1C as “Other Investors”.
For purposes of determining the applicant’s Regulatory Capital, the unfunded commitment of the parent fund is only considered to be Regulatory Capital to the extent it is backed up by investors that qualify as Institutional Investors. Thus, to compute an applicant’s Regulatory Capital in the case of a drop-down, you must complete Table M6.

SBIC Name

Date

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Opinions. All applicants must submit an opinion of independent counsel for the applicant, addressed to the SBA, stating the following:

The applicant has complied with all applicable local, state, and federal laws in the formation and organization of the applicant.

The applicant is chartered or registered by the appropriate authorities to conduct, in its proposed operating territory or area, only the activities described under Title III of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended.

The applicant is authorized and entitled to conduct said franchise powers in full in each jurisdiction to be named in its license as part, or all, of its operating territory, or area, immediately upon the issuance of a license.

2. Securities Opinions. All applicants must also submit evidence issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that the securities of the applicant sold or proposed to be sold, as set forth in the license application, are not required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and that the applicant is not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or, if registration is required in either case, evidence satisfactory to SBA that the applicant has complied with such requirements. If counsel for an applicant believes that the applicant is not subject to the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 or the Investment Company Act of 1940, SEC clearance is not required, and in such event, the applicant must provide an opinion to the effect that it is not so subject to such registration provisions.

3. Tax Opinions. If the applicant is a partnership, an opinion must be provided that the partnership will be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, stating that the partnership is not a publicly-traded partnership, as defined in Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code.

4. Participating Securities. If the applicant proposes to issue participating securities, the following legal opinions must also be provided to the SBA. (The references below to "limited partners” refer to both the Private Limited Partners and the Preferred Limited Partners [as such terms are defined in SBA Annex PS]).

The applicant, in selling its securities to obtain the required private capital, has complied with every law, regulation, and obligation relating to or controlling the sale of its securities and is and will be authorized and entitled to receive and retain the funds paid or to be paid to it by each entity in consideration for said securities issued or to be issued by the applicant.

The issuance and sale of the limited partnership interests to the limited partners pursuant to the applicant's agreement of limited partnership has been duly authorized and such limited partnership interests are validly issued.

Each person identified as a limited partner in the agreement of limited partnership of the applicant has been duly admitted as a limited partner of the applicant.

Each limited partner is obligated to contribute capital to the applicant in accordance with the terms of the capital contribution provisions of the applicant's agreement of limited partnership.

Under the laws of the state of organization of the applicant, no limited partner of the applicant will be deemed to participate in the control of the business of the applicant nor will any limited partner become generally liable as a general partner for the debts and liabilities of the applicant solely by reason of the existence or exercise of the rights and powers granted to the limited partners in the applicant's agreement of limited partnership, and provided that a limited partner in fact does not participate in the control of the business of the applicant, the liability of such limited partner, in its capacity and by reason of its status as a limited partner of the applicant, under the laws of the state of organization of the applicant will be limited to an amount not in excess of such limited partner's capital contribution obligation as stated in the applicant's agreement of limited partnership (plus any other amounts identified in the opinion).

The applicant's agreement of limited partnership constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each general partner of the applicant, enforceable against each such general partner in accordance with its terms.

It is not necessary to register the limited partnership interests issued to the limited partners under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with their offer and sale by the applicant.

Each opinion must be specifically addressed to the SBA and may also be addressed to other parties.

The opinion or opinions may be provided to the SBA for approval in final draft form in advance of the receipt of a license by the SBA; provided that counsel undertakes to deliver an executed copy of any such opinion in the same form as the draft submitted effective upon the formation or license of the applicant.

6. Assumptions, Exceptions and Qualifications.

Any assumptions on which an opinion is based must be specifically identified.

Any exceptions and/or qualifications taken with respect to an opinion must be specifically enumerated, and where an exception relates to specific provisions of an agreement counsel should identify the provisions of the agreement to which the exception relates.

PRE-LICENSING INVESTMENTS

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. This exhibit is not submitted with the application. Once an applicant has received a letter from SBA stating that an application has been formally accepted for processing, the applicant may make eligible investments as discussed in the memorandum, "Is the SBIC Program Right for You?". Such investments must be submitted for approval to the SBA on the Pre-Licensing Investment Worksheet which begins on the next page, with a certification that to the best of its knowledge and belief, the subject investment is an eligible investment, meeting the criteria set forth in 13 CFR Parts 107 and 121. The investment must be approved by SBA before it is closed. (The submission should be made at least 10 business days prior to the proposed closing.)

2. The reason for this submission is that if you are not totally familiar with the SBA criteria for making investments, you run a risk that an investment may be found to be ineligible and thus, would not qualify as Regulatory Capital. Working with you, we wish to help ensure that this does not occur. Therefore, filling out the worksheet and having us review it is for your protection and benefit. If you are applying for a second or later license, we also wish to ensure that an ineligible investment is not made which would subsequently be excluded from Regulatory Capital.

3. As part of this submission, you must also submit SBA Forms 1031, 480, and 652. For this purpose, you will submit a pro forma Form 1031 in hard copy, rather than electronically. After you are licensed, you must then submit a final Form 1031 using SBA’s electronic reporting software.

4. As you work your way through the questions, in order to ensure accuracy in your responses, we would suggest that you have Parts 107 and 121 of 13 CFR in front of you and that you look up each section referred to until you become familiar with the definitions and regulations within the CFR.

REPRESENTATION

Applicant is contemplating an investment in the above-named Small Business and requests approval of such investment in order that that it may be included within Regulatory Capital as defined by the SBA.

3 13 CFR §107.50 contains the definition of “Leverageable Capital”.

4 13 CFR §107.50 contains the definition of “Regulatory Capital”.

5 SBIC Tech Notes Number 7 (December 2000) and 7A (December 2003) provide for management fees during an SBIC’s initial investment period based on Regulatory Capital that is “unreduced” by certain permitted distributions. Refer to the applicable Tech Note for details.

6 13 CFR §107.740 contains the methodology for making this calculation.

7 Refer to Addendum to Exhibit M for information and instructions on the use of dual commitments.

8 Non‑cash contributions will not be accepted without the prior written approval of the SBA.

9 13 CFR §107.50 contains a definition of “Institutional Investor”.

10 For individuals, “net worth” does not include the value of any equity in his/her most valuable residence. For entities described in subsection 1(v) or 1(vi) of the definition of Institutional Investor in 13 CFR §107.50, “net worth” means net assets available for benefits. If an investor with a net worth of more than $10 million makes a significant investment in the Applicant, SBA may require additional financial information concerning such investor in order to include such investor’s unfunded commitment as part of the Applicant’s Regulatory Capital.

11 If you are unsure or otherwise do not wish to certify that an investor is a “diversity investor”, place an “N/A” in the column headed “Diversity Investor”. See 13 CFR §107.150(b).

12 Indicate the position of the signatory (e.g., specific officer or manager title), the entity for which the signatory is signing and its relationship to Applicant.

13 Trusts and IRAs are entities, not individuals, and trusts must be tax-exempt to qualify under subsection 1(vii). Any investor seeking to qualify as an Institutional Investor under subsection 1(xi) must obtain SBA’s prior approval.

14 Entity investors must list their business addresses. P.O. boxes are not acceptable addresses.

15 Individual investors must list their primary residence. P.O. boxes are not acceptable addresses.

16 Any Investor that does not meet the criteria for an Institutional Investor (see 13 CFR §107.50) is considered an Other Investor for purposes of this Capital Certificate.

17 Individuals must list their primary residence and entity investors must list their business address. P.O. boxes are not acceptable addresses.

18 An investor that plans on utilizing a dual commitment must refer to Addendum to Exhibit M for information and instructions on the use of dual commitments.

19 “Capital Returns” may occur as a result of either a voluntary decrease in Regulatory Capital under 13 CFR §107.585, or a distribution under 13 CFR §107.1570(b) by an SBIC that has issued Participating Securities.

20 The Management Ownership Diversity requirement applies to both Regulatory Capital and Leverageable Capital.

21 Any decreases in Regulatory Capital require SBA approval.

2⁰ For individuals, permanent residents of the United States means a lawful permanent resident of the United States under the immigration laws. For entities, permanent resident of the United States means an entity qualified to do business and maintaining a place of business in one or more states of the United States, the District of Columbia or U.S. Territories.

22 The term “Public SBIC” also includes subsidiaries of public investment companies.

23 Small Business Investment Act, Section 103(5)(B) “in determining whether a business concern satisfies net income standards established pursuant to section (3)(a)(2) of the Small Business Act, if the business concern is not required to pass income through to the shareholders, partners, beneficiaries, or other equitable owners of the business concern, the net income of the business concern shall be determined in an amount equal to the sum of –

(i) if the business concern is not required by law to pay State (and local, if any) income taxes at the enterprise level, the net income (determined without regard to this subparagraph), multiplied by the marginal State income tax rate (or by the combined State and local income tax rates, as applicable) that would have applied if the business concern were a corporation: and

(ii) the net income (so determined) less any deduction for State (and local) income taxes calculated under clause (i), multiplied by the marginal Federal income tax rate that would have applied if the business concern were a corporation.
