     that the loan has not been made in order to place under the 
     protection of the approved State capital access program prior 
     debt that is not covered under the approved State capital 
     access program and that is or was owed by the borrower to the 
     financial institution lender or to an affiliate of the 
     financial institution lender;
       (iii) shall not allow the enrollment of a loan to a

     to use the Federal contributions to the reserve fund to 
     provide access to capital for small businesses in low- and 
     moderate-income, minority, and other underserved communities,

                   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 
     3005(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

     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, that program shall be required 
     to be a program of the State that--
       (1) can demonstrate that, at a minimum, $1 of public 
     investment by the State program will cause and result in $1 
     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) uses Federal funds allocated under this title to extend 
     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;

     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 3005(e).

     otherwise recommend the eligible institution to receive the 
     capital investment, the Secretary, in consultation with the 
     entity to be so consulted, may consider whether the entity to 
     be consulted would recommend the eligible institution to

     investment under the Program, the rate may be adjusted based 
     on the amount of an eligible institution's small business

     shall be measured against the average amount of small 
     business lending reported by the eligible institution in its

       (iii) during any calendar quarter during the initial 2-year 
     period referred to in clause (ii), an institution's rate 
     shall be adjusted to reflect the following schedule, based on 
     that institution's change in the amount of small business 
     lending relative to the baseline--

       (I) if the amount of small business lending has increased 
     by less than 2.5 percent, the dividend or interest rate shall 
     be 5 percent;

     by 2.5 percent or greater, but by less than 5.0 percent, the 
     dividend or interest rate shall be 4 percent;

       (B) Basis of initial rate.--The initial dividend or 
     interest rate shall be based on call report data published in 
     the quarter immediately preceding the date of the capital 
     investment under the Program.
       (C) Timing of rate adjustments.--Any rate adjustment shall 
     occur in the calendar quarter following the publication of

     first following calendar quarter, shall be adjusted in that 
     first following calendar quarter and payable in the second 
     following quarter.

     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 small business lending has remained 
     the same or decreased relative to the institution's baseline 
     in the eighth quarter after the date of the capital 
     investment under the Program, the rate shall be 7 percent

     the date of the investment.
       (E) Rate following initial 4\1/2\-year period.--The

     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 
     investments limiting the amount of capital available to 
     eligible institutions consistent with this limitation.
       (G) Rate adjustments for s corporation.--Before making a 
     capital investment in an eligible institution that is an S 
     corporation or a corporation organized on a mutual basis, 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.

     Program; or

     additional terms as the Secretary shall prescribe, which 
     shall include a requirement that the stock or instrument 
     shall carry the highest dividend or interest rate payable; 
     and

       (ii) provides that the term and condition described under 
     clause (i) shall not apply if the application of that term 
     and condition would adversely affect the capital treatment of 
     the stock or financial instrument under current or successor 
     applicable capital provisions compared to a capital 
     instrument with identical terms other than the term and 
     condition described under clause (i).

     years, the rate at which interest is payable shall be 9 
     percent.
       (6) Additional incentives to repay.--The Secretary may, by 
     regulation or guidance issued under section 4104(9), 
     establish repayment incentives in addition to the incentive 
     in paragraph (5)(E) that will apply to new capital

     issued under the Program.
       (B) Prohibition on participation by non-paying cpp 
     participants.--Subparagraph (A) shall not apply to any

     payment due under the CPP. For purposes of this subparagraph,

     the due date of such payment shall not be considered a missed 
     dividend payment.
       (8) Outreach to minorities, women, and veterans.--The 
     Secretary shall require eligible institutions receiving 
     capital investments under the Program to provide 
     linguistically and culturally appropriate outreach and

     communities;
