i. LiftFund must first receive a request for a loan from a small business or start-up
company that has the ability to produce jobs in the future and is located in Corpus

ii. The request from the applicant must include a notarized affidavit stating that they
have applied for normal financing from a bank, or similar lending institution, and
have been denied a loan.
iii. LiftFund shall review the request for a loan from the Business.
iv. Upon LiftFund approval of a loan, and prior to the closing of the loan, LiftFund
shall submit Attachment "A" to the Corporation requesting funds to buy down the

or 0% interest for loans related to recovery from damage caused by a hurricane.
The Corporation authorizes an interest buy down up to 7% of the interest rate to
finance the loan. Payment by Corporation shall not exceed $17,500 per loan and
shall be calculated using the following formula:
For Non- Hurricane Related Loans:
(Loan amount x interest rate to buy down to 5.5%) / 12 = N
N x number of payments=interest buy down reimbursement to LiftFund for
business loan. (The number of monthly payments shall not exceed sixty
(60).)
Example: ($10,000 x 7%)/ 12 = 58.33
58.33 x 36 = $2,100 = amount to be reimbursed to LiftFund for business
loan.
For Hurricane Related Loans:
(Loan amount x interest rate to buy down to 0.0%) / 12 = N
N x number of payments=interest buy down reimbursement to LiftFund for
business loan. (The number of monthly payments shall not exceed sixty
(60).)
Example: ($10,000 x 12.5%) / 12 = 104.16
$104.16 x 36 = $3,750 = amount to be reimbursed to LiftFund for business
loan.
v. The Corporation shall provide a response to approve or deny the reimbursement
for the Interest Buy Down Program funds to LiftFund within 2 business days of
receipt of Attachment "A." The Corporation shall reimburse funds within 30 days
after evidence of closing the loan is submitted.
