organized under the laws of the U.S. or a
political subdivision or territory thereof (U.S.
organized) and conducts significant operations or
activities in the U.S. - A U.S. branch or agency of a foreign bank that
maintains reserves with a Federal Reserve Bank - An investment fund that is U.S. organized and
managed by an investment manager that has its
principal place of business in the U.S. - Includes hedge funds, private equity funds, and
mutual funds - Legislative Considerations
- Executive Compensation Requirements
- Borrowers will NOT have to satisfy the executive
compensation requirements - The Sponsor of the securitization that issues the
ABS must be in compliance with the executive
compensation requirements - Reports to Congress and continued oversight by
Congressional Oversight Committee, EESA s.105

8Public Private Investment Program (PPIP) -
Overview
- Using 75 to 100 billion in TARP capital and
capital from private investors, the PPIP will
generate 500 billion in purchasing power to buy
legacy assets - Two pronged approach potential to expand to 1
trillion - Legacy Loans Program Combine FDIC guarantee
debt financing with shared equity capital from
the private sector and the Treasury to support
the purchase of troubled loans from insured
depository institutions. - Legacy Securities Program Combine financing
from the Federal Reserve and Treasury through the
Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility
(TALF) with equity capital from the private
sector and the Treasury to address the problem of
troubled securities. - Together, the two programs should help to restart
markets for troubled assets and begin the process
of repairing balance sheets. Stronger balance
sheets should eventually lead to increased
lending.
