Rule 506 under Reg D was split into 506(b) and 506(c). Anyone know why they didn't call them 506(a) and 506(b)?

Here's the statute:

In essence, Section 506(a) states that there are certain exemptions that apply if you meet the requirements under Section 506(b) and 506(c). That's the only reason. :)
