Much of the nation’s small business lending takes the form of loans secured by real estate. Roughly 70% of small bal-ance commercial real estate loans (under $10 million) are made by Main Street banks with under $10 billion in assets. This is a major part of community banking.

The Government’s proposed new Small Business Lending Fund is exactly the type of program which smaller banks and businesses need to jumpstart lending and job creation. Amendments promoted by Congressmen Walt Minnick and Luis Gutierrez should greatly enhance the usefulness of the SBLF as a vehicle to support commercial real estate lending, the “clean-ing up” of community banks’ balance sheets, and job creation.

On June 17, 2010, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 5297, and it was placed on the Senate legisla-tive calendar on June 21, 2010.

This bill creates a $30 billion small business lending fund (“SBLF”) designed to increase available credit to small busi-nesses. This important, timely piece of legislation may be the year’s most effective legislative effort to address the economic crisis’ impact on small businesses, small busi-ness lending and community banking.

The SBLF will allow community banks to subscribe to pre-ferred stock from the Treasury, similar to the Capital Purchase Program (used mainly by the larger banks), but free of many of the restrictions imposed by TARP. The preferred stock’s coupon can decrease to as low as 1%, if the recipient bank increases its small business lending over a 2009 baseline.

By providing an incentive for community banks to resume lending in the commercial real estate space, the SBLF will increase the flow of credit. Given this, we should see a rise in real estate values for the smaller properties and a general increase in property values—all helping small and mid-sized banks (which already have a portfolio of small commercial loans), by bringing the collateral values for those loans par-tially back to their pre-crisis levels.

Notably, Congressman Walt Minnick (D-ID) successfully intro-duced an amendment which will expand the types of com-mercial real estate eligible to be counted and included as small business lending.

Additionally, Congressman Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) successfully introduced an amendment relating to bank losses and write-downs. Rep. Gutierrez’ amendment to the SBLF created temporary authority for banks to amortize such losses and write-downs over a number of years, with the amortization time frame directly correlated to the applicable bank’s increase in small business lending activity. Accordingly, banks may seek to maximize their loss write-down amortization options by maximizing their small business lending activity.

These amendments are vital because so many financial institu-tions and regulators have been struggling to find a pragmatic, workable solution to the massive waves of impaired commercial real estate loans and OREOs which are looming in the banking sector, and particularly in the world of small banks.

These amendments promoted by Congressmen Minnick and Gutierrez should greatly enhance the usefulness of the SBLF as a vehicle to increase community banks capital, support commercial real estate lending, the “cleaning up” of com-munity banks’ balance sheets, and job creation.

This extremely important piece of legislation could provide many benefits to those banks which take advantage of it. After a number of less than successful attempts to address the issues facing community banks and the commercial real estate sector, the Government needs this program to be a success. Accordingly, it is imperative that community banks’ regulators keep a watchful eye on the progress of the SBLF and, upon final passage, utilize this important program. Once implemented, the SBLF will have a profound impact on the commercial real estate problems in the community banking sector.

Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, an international law firm with expertise in the financial services sector, has been in the business of helping community banks prosper and grow for 25 years.

To learn more about the SBLF program and how to take advan-tage of its benefits, call Chris DiAngelo at 212-259-6718, or Samantha Warshauer at 212-259-6939.

Contract Regulations

2014 Media Information | ICBA Independent Banker

For more information: Rachael Solomon at (612) 336-9284 or [email protected]

Payment to be made in advance unless credit has been approved by the Independent Community Bank-ers of America (ICBA). Invoices are due payable upon receipt. Invoices will be considered delinquent after 30 days from the invoice date and will be subject to a monthly 1.5% finance charge (18% per annum) or themaximum allowed by law.

In view of the fact that many advertising agencies’ contracts and orders specify conditions that are not in accordance with the regular rates and terms upon which ICBA does business, we do not execute dupli-cates of such agency contracts, and orders are accepted only with the understanding that (a) they will be executed in accordance with our regular rates and terms, which are fully described in this rate card, and (b) the terms and conditions set forth in this rate card shall prevail over any inconsistent terms set forth in any agency or advertiser contract form or order form.

Commission(s) (15%) given for agencies will be forfeited if payment is not received within 60 days from the invoice date. Account delinquency may affect the advertiser’s and agency’s ability to book space in future issues. If an account has more than one unpaid invoice, all cash received will be applied to the old-est invoice first. The advertiser and the agency agree to pay all collection costs as a result of our collec-tion efforts on the delinquent balance, including reasonable attorney’s fees.

When advertising is placed by an advertising agency on behalf of the advertiser, the advertiser and advertising agency shall be jointly and severely liable to ICBA for payments due hereunder. The adver-tiser is at all times liable for payment of all account balances due and all other liabilities and deemed to receive refund payments, adjustments, notices and all other documents when the same are delivered to their advertising agency. Payments by the advertiser to the advertising agency for services do not consti-tute payment to ICBA. Any language to the contrary in any advertising agency’s insertion orders or other documents is void and without effect.

Commissions and Discounts: A 15% commission will be allowed to recognized ad agencies. Bills will be rendered the first day of publication.

Cancellations: Cancellations are not accepted after space closing date. Advertising must be inserted withinonepublicationyearoffirstinsertiontoearnfrequencyrates.Lossofcreditduetoaccountde-linquency may affect frequency rates. An advertiser who does not complete a committed schedule will be subject to a short-rate. ICBA is not responsible for interruption or termination of existing contracts or failure to print advertising (see contract form).

Rates: Advertising rates are subject to change. ICBA will notify contract advertisers 90 days prior to rate change. All contracts accepted are subject to these conditions.

Copy Regulations: All advertising is subject to publisher’s approval and agreement by the advertiser and agency to indemnify and protect ICBA from and against any claims, loss, liability or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees arising out of publication of such advertisement. ICBA reserves the right to reject any advertising or to request changes in any advertising copy.

Simulation of the publication’s format is not permitted, and ICBA reserves the right to place the word “ad-vertisement”withcopywhich,inICBA’sopinion,resembleseditorialmatter.
