under Section 6 of the Act, and to
findings under Rule 603.20
As noted above, use of the Service is
voluntary, and the fee for the Service
will be imposed equally on all
purchasers. In addition, vendors and
other exchanges currently make daily
broker volume reports available. For
example, the New York Stock Exchange
LLC (‘‘NYSE’’) provides a broker volume
report in a database format on a T+1
basis, which compiles the trading
volume of member firms based on trades
reported to NYSE.21 The cost of
receiving the Service is comparable to
the cost for receiving the NYSE broker
volume report.22
In formulating the terms of the
Service, Nasdaq was thus subject to
significant competitive forces—
specifically, the availability to market
participants of alternatives to
purchasing the Service. Because the
proposed Service here involves the
distribution of non-core market data,
and significant competitive forces are
present, the Service is thus consistent
with both Section 6(b)(4) 23 and Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,24 and with Rule
603(a).25 There is not a substantial
countervailing basis that would render
the proposal inconsistent with the Act
or the rules thereunder.
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,26 that the
proposed rule change (SR–NASDAQ–
2007–006), as modified by Amendment
No. 1 be, and it hereby is, approved.
For the Commission, by the Division of
Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated
authority.27
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.

Argentum Capital Partners, LP; Notice
Seeking Exemption Under Section 312
of the Small Business Investment Act,
Conflicts of Interest
Notice is hereby given that Argentum
Capital Partners, LP, 60 Madison
Avenue, Suite 701, New York, NY
10010, a Federal Licensee under the
Small Business Investment Act of 1958,
as amended (‘‘the Act’’), in connection
with the financing of a small concern,
has sought an exemption under Section
312 of the Act and Section 107.730,
Financings which Constitute Conflicts
of Interest of the Small Business
Administration (‘‘SBA’’) Rules and
Regulations (13 CFR 107.730 (2009)).
Argentum Capital Partners, LP proposes
to provide a bridge loan to M Cubed
Technologies, Inc., 921 Main Street,
Monroe, CT 06468. The financing is
contemplated for working capital and
general corporate purposes.
The financing is brought within the
purview of § 107.730(a)(1) of the
Regulations because Argentum Capital
Partners II, LP, an Associate of
Argentum Capital Partners, LP, owns
more than ten percent of M Cubed
Technologies, Inc.
Therefore, this transaction is
considered a financing of an Associate
requiring an exemption. Notice is
hereby given that any interested person
may submit written comments on the
transaction within fifteen days of the
date of this publication to the Acting
Associate Administrator for Investment,
U.S. Small Business Administration,
409 Third Street, SW., Washington, DC
