appropriately. It includes information to 

identify the intermediary; describe the 

intermediary’s experience and expertise; 

describe how the intermediary will 

operate its revolving loan fund; provide 

for debt instruments, loan agreements, 

and security; and other material 

necessary for prudent credit decisions 

and reasonable program monitoring.

(d) ways to minimize the burden of
