arguable and unclear re: sole proprietorship. If you look at the RSA and
cross reference the RSA signature blocks on Page 9 I'd say they support
the definition being unclear and arguable if you ever had to go to

I'd venture a guess we'd prefer the noun. A sole proprietor can be an
entity. If it said "legal entity" that could indicate it excludes sole
proprietors. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I don't have an opinion other than to ensure sole proprietorships aren't excluded as Owen suggests.</div><div><br></div>HTH</div><div><br><div>-M<</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div>
