                adjustment shall occur in the calendar quarter 
                following the publication of call report data, such 
                that the rate based on call report data from any one 
                calendar quarter, which is published in the first 
                following calendar quarter, shall be adjusted in that 
                first following calendar quarter and payable in the 
                second following quarter.
                    (D) Rate following initial 2-year period.--
                Generally, the rate based on call report data from the 
                eighth calendar quarter after the date of the capital 
                investment under the Program shall be payable until the 
                expiration of the 4\1/2\-year period that begins on the 
                date of the investment. In the case where the amount of

                eighth quarter after the date of the capital investment 
                under the Program, the rate shall be 7 percent until 
                the expiration of the 4\1/2\-year period that begins on 
                the date of the investment.
                    (E) Rate following initial 4\1/2\-year period.--The 
                dividend or interest rate paid on any preferred stock 
                or other financial instrument issued by an eligible 
                institution that receives a capital investment under 
                the Program shall increase to 9 percent at the end of 
                the 4\1/2\-year period that begins on the date of the 
                capital investment under the Program.
                    (F) Limitation on rate reductions with respect to 
                certain amount.--The reduction in the dividend or 
                interest rate payable to Treasury by any eligible 
                institution shall be limited such that the rate 
                reduction shall not apply to a dollar amount of the 
                investment made by Treasury that is greater than the 
                dollar amount increase in the amount of small business 
                lending realized under this program. The Secretary may 
                issue guidelines that will apply to new capital

                making a capital investment in an eligible institution 
                that is an S corporation or a corporation organized on

                or interest rate on the financial instrument to be 
                issued to the Secretary, from the dividend or interest 
                rate that would apply under subparagraphs (A) through 
                (F), to take into account any differential tax 
                treatment of securities issued by such eligible 
                institution. For purpose of this subparagraph, the term 
                ``S corporation'' has the same meaning as in section 
                1361(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
                    (H) Repayment deadline.--The capital investment 
                received by an eligible institution under the Program 
                shall be repaid by the end of the 10-year period that 
                begins on the date of the capital investment under the 
                Program.
            (5) Additional incentives to repay.--The Secretary may, by 
        regulation or guidance issued under section 5(9), establish 
        repayment incentives in addition to the incentive in paragraph

        that the Secretary determines to be consistent with the 
        purposes of this title.
            (6) Capital purchase program refinance.--
                    (A) In general.--The Secretary shall, in a manner 
                that the Secretary determines to be consistent with the 
                purposes of this title, issue regulations and other 
                guidance to permit eligible institutions to refinance 
                securities issued to Treasury under the CDCI and the 
                CPP for securities to be issued under the Program.
                    (B) Prohibition on participation by non-paying cpp 
                participants.--Subparagraph (A) shall not apply to any 
                eligible institution that has ever missed a dividend 
                payment due under the CPP.
            (7) Minority outreach.--The Secretary shall require 
        eligible institutions receiving capital investments under the 
        Program to provide outreach and advertising in the appropriate 
        language of the applicant pool describing the availability and 
        application process of receiving loans from the eligible 
        institution that are made possible by the Program through the 
        use of print, radio, television or electronic media outlets 
        which target organizations, trade associations, and individuals 
        that represent or work within or are members of minority 
        communities.
            (8) Additional terms.--The Secretary may, by regulation or 
        guidance issued under section 5(9), make modifications that 
        will apply to new capital investments in order to manage risks 
        associated with the administration of the Fund in a manner 
        consistent with the purposes of this title.
            (9) Minimum underwriting standards.--The appropriate 
        Federal banking agency for an eligible institution that 
        receives funds under the Program shall within 60 days issue 
        regulations defining minimum underwriting standards that must 
        be used for loans made by the eligible institution using such 
        funds.

SEC. 206. APPROVING COLLATERAL SUPPORT AND OTHER INNOVATIVE CREDIT 
              ACCESS AND GUARANTEE INITIATIVES FOR SMALL BUSINESSES AND 
              MANUFACTURERS.

    (a) Application.--A participating State that establishes a new, or 
has an existing, credit support program that meets the eligibility 
criteria in subsection (c) may apply to the Secretary to have the State 
other credit support program approved as eligible for Federal 
contributions to, or for the account of, the State program.
    (b) Approval.--The Secretary shall approve such State other credit 
support program as eligible for Federal contributions to, or for the 
account of, the program if--
            (1) the Secretary determines that the State satisfies the 
        requirements of paragraphs (1) through (3) of section 205(b);
            (2) the Secretary determines that the State other credit 
        support program meets the eligibility criteria in subsection 
        (c);
            (3) the Secretary determines the State other credit support 
        program to be eligible based on the additional considerations 
        in subsection (d); and
            (4) within 9 months after the date of enactment of this 
        title, the State has filed with Treasury a complete application 
        for Treasury approval.
    (c) Eligibility Criteria for State Other Credit Support Programs.--
For a State other credit support program to be approved under this 
section, it must be a program of the State that--
            (1) can demonstrate that, at a minimum, 1 dollar of public 
        investment by the State program will cause and result in 1 
        dollar of new private credit;
            (2) can demonstrate a reasonable expectation that, when 
        considered with all other State programs of the State, such 
        State programs together have the ability to use amounts of new 
        Federal contributions to, or for the account of, all such 
        programs in the State to cause and result in amounts of new 
        small business lending at least 10 times the new Federal 
        contribution amount;
            (3) for those State other credit support programs that 
        provide their credit support through 1 or more financial 
        institution lenders, requires the financial institution lenders 
        to have a meaningful amount of their own capital resources at 
        risk in their small business lending; and
            (4) extends credit support that--
                    (A) targets an average borrower size of 500 
                employees or less;
                    (B) does not extend credit support to borrowers 
                that have more than 750 employees;
                    (C) targets support towards loans with an average 
                principal amount of $5,000,000 or less; and
                    (D) does not extend credit support to loans that 
                exceed a principal amount of $20,000,000.
    (d) Additional Considerations.--In making a determination that a 
State other credit support program is eligible for Federal 
contributions to, or for the account of, the State program, the 
Secretary shall take into account the following additional 
considerations:
            (1) The anticipated benefits to the State, its businesses, 
        and its residents to be derived from the Federal contributions 
        to, or for the account of, the approved State other credit 
        support program, including the extent to which resulting small 
        business lending will expand economic opportunities.
            (2) The operational capacity, skills, and experience of the 
        management team of the State other credit support program.
            (3) The capacity of the State other credit support program 
        to manage increases in the volume of its small business 
        lending.
            (4) The internal accounting and administrative controls 
        systems of the State other credit support program, and the 
        extent to which they can provide reasonable assurance that 
        funds of the State program are safeguarded against waste, loss, 
        unauthorized use, or misappropriation.
            (5) The soundness of the program design and implementation 
        plan of the State other credit support program.
    (e) Federal Contributions to Approved State Other Credit Support 
Programs.--A State other credit support program approved under this 
section will be eligible for receiving Federal contributions to, or for 
the account of, the State program in an amount consistent with the 
schedule describing the apportionment of allocated Federal funds among 
State programs delivered by the State to the Secretary under the 
allocation agreement.
    (f) Minimum Program Requirements for State Other Credit Support 
Programs.--
            (1) Fund to prescribe.--The Secretary shall, by regulation 
        or other guidance, prescribe Program requirements for approved 
        State other credit support programs.
            (2) Considerations for fund.--In prescribing minimum 
        Program requirements for approved State other credit support 
        programs, the Secretary shall take into consideration, to the 
        extent the Secretary determines applicable and appropriate, the 
        minimum Program requirements for approved State capital access 
        programs in section 205(e).
