1968, the Board find and determine that in no State fiscal year will the debt service requirements of the Bonds proposed to be issued and all other bonds secured by the same pledged revenues exceed the pledged revenues available for payment of such debt service requirements.

7. APPROVAL OF ADDITION TO PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES: Method of tabulating votes (Abstentions): Vote FOR

These proposals generally ask the company to exclude abstention votes in the totals of proxy tabulations. The SBA does not support the inclusion of abstention votes in voting totals. The SBA believes that abstention votes are used by shareholders not as a passive way of voting against a proxy issue but rather as a way to vote shares without taking a particular position on a proposal. Shares voted as abstentions should not be confused with proxies not voted-the former is a deliberate vote to abstain, the latter is not a vote at all. (Please refer to page 13 in the FY98 Annual Report on Corporate Governance. (This report will be forwarded preceding meeting.)
