                        CREDIT AND COLLATERAL EXCEPTIONS

         (1)      Within sixty (60) days the Board shall obtain current and
satisfactory credit information on all loans lacking such information, including
those listed in the ROE, in any subsequent Report of Examination, in any

<PAGE>

loans lacking such information provided to management by the National Bank
Examiners at the conclusion of an examination.

         (3)      Effective immediately, the Bank may grant, extend, renew,
alter or restructure any loan or other extension of credit only after:

                  (a)      documenting the specific reason or purpose for the
                           extension of credit;

                  (b)      identifying the expected source of repayment in
                           writing;

                  (c)      structuring the repayment terms to coincide with the
                           expected source of repayment;

                  (d)      obtaining and analyzing current and satisfactory
                           credit information, including cash flow analysis,
                           where loans are to be repaid from operations;

                           (i)      Failure to obtain the information in (3)(d)
                                    shall require a majority of the full Board
                                    (or a delegated committee thereof) to
                                    certify in writing the specific reasons why
                                    obtaining and analyzing the information in
                                    (3)(d) would be detrimental to the best
                                    interests of the Bank.

                           (ii)     A copy of the Board certification shall be
                                    maintained in the credit file of the
                                    affected borrower(s). The certification will
                                    be reviewed by this Office in subsequent
                                    examinations of the Bank; and

                  (e)      documenting, with adequate supporting material, the
                           value of collateral and properly perfecting the
                           Bank's lien on it where applicable.

<PAGE>

         (1)      Within ninety (90) days, the Board shall develop, adopt, and
ensure adherence to an Information Security Program that meets the requirements

and risk environment of the Bank.

         (2)      The Board shall submit a copy of the program to the Assistant
Deputy Comptroller.

         (3)      The Board shall ensure that the Bank has processes, personnel,
and control systems to ensure implementation of and adherence to the program

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                    CLOSING

         (1)      Although the Board has agreed to submit certain programs and
reports to the Assistant Deputy Comptroller for review or approval, the Board
has the ultimate responsibility for proper and sound management of the Bank.

         (2)      It is expressly and clearly understood that if, at any time,
the Comptroller deems it appropriate in fulfilling the responsibilities placed
upon him/her by the several laws of the United States of America to undertake
any action affecting the Bank, nothing in this Agreement shall in any way
inhibit, estop, bar, or otherwise prevent the Comptroller from so doing.

         (3)      Any time limitations imposed by this Agreement shall begin to
run from the effective date of this Agreement. Such time requirements may be
extended in writing by the Assistant Deputy Comptroller for good cause upon
written application by the Board.

         (4)      The provisions of this Agreement shall be effective upon
execution by the parties hereto and its provisions shall continue in full force
and effect unless or until such provisions are

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

amended in writing by mutual consent of the parties to the Agreement or
excepted, waived, or terminated in writing by the Comptroller.

         (5)      In each instance in this Agreement in which the Board is
required to ensure adherence to, and undertake to perform certain obligations of
the Bank, it is intended to mean that the Board shall: (i) authorize and adopt
such actions on behalf of the Bank as may be necessary for the Bank to perform
its obligations and undertakings under the terms of this Agreement; (ii) require
the timely reporting by Bank management of such actions directed by the Board to
be taken under the terms of this Agreement; (iii) follow-up on any
non-compliance with such actions in a timely and appropriate manner; and (iv)
require corrective action be taken in a timely manner of any non-compliance with
such actions.

         (6)      This Agreement is intended to be, and shall be construed to
be, a supervisory "written agreement entered into with the agency" as
contemplated by 12 U.S.C. Section 1818(b)(1), and expressly does not form, and
may not be construed to form, a contract binding on the OCC or the United
States. Notwithstanding the absence of mutuality of obligation, or of
consideration, or of a contract, the OCC may enforce any of the commitments or
obligations herein undertaken by the Bank under its supervisory powers,
including 12 U.S.C. Section 1818(b)(1), and not as a matter of contract law. The
Bank expressly acknowledges that neither the Bank nor the OCC has any intention
to enter into a contract. The Bank also expressly acknowledges that no OCC
officer or employee has statutory or other authority to bind the United States,
the U.S. Treasury Department, the OCC, or any other federal bank regulatory
agency or entity, or any officer or employee of any of those entities to a
contract affecting the OCC's exercise of its supervisory responsibilities. The
terms of this Agreement, including this paragraph, are not subject to amendment
or modification by any extraneous expression, prior agreements or arrangements,
or negotiations between the parties, whether oral or written.

                      RESOLUTIONS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

                  CONCERNING ADOPTION OF A PROFIT SHARING PLAN

WHEREAS, Rand Capital Corporation ("Rand") is applying to the U.S. Small
Business Administration (the "SBA") to license a wholly owned subsidiary, Rand
Capital SBIC, L.P. ("Rand SBIC"), as a small business investment company under
the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended (the "SBIC Act"); and

WHEREAS, Rand desires to provide appropriate compensation and incentive to its
officers for managing Rand SBIC so as to meet the requirements for incentive
compensation of principals as determined by the SBA in connection with the
licensing of Rand SBIC as a small business investment company; and

WHEREAS, Rand is regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the "1940 Act") as a business development company within the meaning of Section
2(a)(48) of the 1940 Act; and

WHEREAS, Rand must adopt a revenue sharing plan that meets the requirements of
Section 57(n) of the 1940 Act in order to provide the incentive compensation
required for the licensing of Rand SBIC under the SBA Act;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT

RESOLVED, that the following profit sharing plan (the "Plan") is hereby adopted
and approved for Rand:

1.   As an incentive to the two persons who serve as managers of the general
     partner of Rand SBIC during the term of the Plan (the "Participants"), Rand
     shall accrue for each Participant for each fiscal year of Rand SBIC in
     which the Participant serves during the term of the Plan, an amount (the
     "Accrual Amount") equal to the that Participant's Designated Percentage (as
     hereinafter defined) of the net realized capital gains of Rand SBIC,
     computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized depreciation of
     Rand SBIC, for that fiscal year of Rand SBIC.

2.   The term of the Plan shall commence on the date the License Application for
     Rand SBIC to be a small business investment company is accepted by the SBA
     (the "Commencement Date") (February 1, 2002), and it shall continue until
     the later of (a) the end of the tenth fiscal year of Rand

<PAGE>

     SBIC following the year in which it is commenced, or (b) the date of
     dissolution of Rand SBIC.

3.   The initial Participants and their Designated Percentages shall be as
     follows:
     Allen Grum -- 6% ]
     Daniel Penberthy -- 4%

4.   The amount paid to the account of each Participant shall be vested
     according to the following schedule: 20% on and after the Commencement
     Date; 40% on and after the first anniversary of the Commencement Date; 60%
     on and after the second anniversary of the Commencement Date; 80% on and
     after the third anniversary of the Commencement Date; and, 100% on and
     after the fourth anniversary of the Commencement Date.

5.   The Accrual Amounts for each fiscal year shall be as computed by Rand's
     auditors based on the amounts used in Rand's audited financial statements,
     and a copy of the computations shall be delivered to Rand's Board of
     Directors and to each Participant, and a copy shall be maintained in Rand's
     corporate records. The determination of the Accrual Amounts and the
     delivery of the computations shall be made as soon as practicable after the
     end of each fiscal year, but in any event not later than 90 days after the
     end of each fiscal year.

6.   Rand's Board of Directors shall review the computations of the Accrual
     Amounts and, unless they shall raise a specific objection to the
     computations presented, they shall direct that the vested portion of any
     Accrual Amounts then held for each Participant shall be paid to the
     Participants. The Board of Directors shall, as soon as practicable, but in
     any event within 90 days after the receipt of the computation of Accrued
     Amounts each year, either cause all vested and Accrued Amounts to be paid
     to the Participants or deliver a written statement of its specific
     objections to the computations to the Participants.

7.   If the service of a Participant as a manager of the general partner of Rand
     SBIC is terminated during the period of the Plan, a pro rated portion of
     the Accrual Amount for that fiscal year, based on the portion of the fiscal
     year during which the Participant served, shall be allocated for the
     terminated Participant, except that if the Participant is terminated for
     cause as determined by the Board of Directors of Rand, no Accrual Amount
     shall be allocated for the Participant on account of the fiscal year in
     which the Participant is terminated.

8.   Accrual Amounts will be held by Rand without interest or deduction. All
     Accrual Amounts that have not become vested at the time a Participant is
     terminated as an executive officer of the general partner of Rand SBIC
     shall be and remain the property of Rand.

9.   The adoption and approval of the Plan, the resolution of any disputes under
     the Plan, and any amendment to the Plan shall be made by a the affirmative
     vote of a "required majority" of the directors of Rand, which shall mean
     both a majority of the directors of Rand who have no financial interest
     under the Plan and a majority of the directors of Rand who are not
     "interested persons" of Rand within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) under
     the 1940 Act.

<PAGE>

10.  Any provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate
     amount of benefits which may be paid or accrued under the Plan during any
     fiscal year of Rand shall not exceed 20% of Rand's net income after taxes
     for that fiscal year, or otherwise exceed the limits of Section
     57(n)(1)(A)(ii) or any successor provision of the 1940 Act respecting
     limitations on the amount of benefits paid by business development
     companies under profit sharing plans. During the term of the Plan, Rand
     shall not have outstanding any stock option, warrant or right issued as
     part of an executive compensation plan, including a plan pursuant to
     Section 61(a)(3)(B) of the 1940 Act, or have an investment adviser
     registered or required to be registered under the 1940 Act, or otherwise
     fail to comply with the limits of Section 57(n)(2) of the 1940 Act or any
     successor provision of the 1940 Act respecting limitations on the kinds of
     benefits that may be paid by business development companies.

AND BE IT FURTHER;

RESOLVED, that in approving these resolutions, a required majority of Rand's
Board of Directors has specifically determined that the Plan is reasonable and
fair to the shareholders of Rand, does not involve overreaching of Rand or its
