of its Associate Harbert Mezzanine Partners II SBIC, L.P.
    The financing is brought within the purview of Sec.  107.730(a) of

percent, so the transaction that will effect the proposed Financing

written comments on the transaction, within fifteen days of the date of 
this publication, to the Associate Administrator for Investment, U.S.
