1. Q. Is your interest rate directly tied to the Prime Rate?
A. Our securitization rate is tied to 3-5 Year Treasury Bills. Like all rates, we do have to consider the Prime Rate from a competitive standpoint.

2. Q. Do you require a first lien position on the working capital loans?
A. Lender's security position is the good credit of the doctor and a blanket lien against the general assets of the practice. Lender will normally be in a second or third lien position. Please remember---Lender will file lien within 5 working days of loan completion and will take whatever lien position is available at the time.

3. Q. Do you require additional collateral?
A. No. Real estate owned separate from the practice by the doctor is not subject to our lien.

4. Q. Who qualifies as a medical professional?
A. Practically all-medical professionals licensed a minimum of 2 years. See reference chart for details. (Do not confuse licensing requirement with time in business.)

5. Q. Who does not qualify for your Medical Programs?
A. Doctor owned health clubs, spas, real estate companies, etc.

6. Q. Does your credit decision take into consideration-projected earnings as well as the earnings history?
A. Both are considered, but more emphasis is placed on proven earnings since projections are subjective.

7. Q. Do resident aliens qualify for your Medical Programs?
A. Yes--provided they have been in the credit bureau reporting system for at least seven years and have permanent U.S. residency status. Proof of permanent residency may be required in some cases.

8. Q. How is time in business (TIB) determined?
A. TIB is the time the applicant has owned or managed their current or prior practice.

9. Q. Are spousal personal guarantees required?
A. In most cases, yes. However, we recognize that there may be situations where the spousal guaranty is not available. We only ask to be informed of this situation at the time of application so the credit decision can be based strictly on the doctor's credit. Spousal PG's normally help strengthen credit worthiness.

10. Q. Will you consider applicants with a bankruptcy on their credit bureau report?
A. Yes, if the bankruptcy was discharged at least five years ago and the applicant has made a good attempt to rebuild their credit with no slow payments in the past two years.

11. Q. What major credit elements are considered?
A. We consider the entire picture, but here are some of the elements:
-Amount of credit card revolving debt in dollars and percent available.
-Total debt and monthly debt load.
-Payment history within the past two years.
-Liens and judgments over $750.
-Home mortgage-a real plus since it denotes a degree of stability.
-Beacon & Fair Isaac scores must be over 650 to be considered.
-Availability and credit strength of a spousal guaranty.

12. Q. Do you charge documentation fees?
A. Yes, if loan is $35,000 or less, the documentation fee is $150. Over $35,000, the total fee is $300, which also pays for a site or equipment inspection.

13. Q. Why are inspections required?
A. The site or equipment inspection is our assurance the practice actually exists in some cases or that the equipment has been delivered.

14. Q. Why is life insurance required if the loan is over $35,000?
A. In the event of death, the debt is paid and the surviving family members are not faced with the burden of paying the balance of the loan out of the estate. Life insurance is not normally required in multiple doctor practices sine the practice would likely continue in business in the event one doctor should die.

15. Q. Is property insurance required?
A. Yes. Since our lien is against the general assets of the practice or specific equipment, we would have at least partial coverage in the event of a catastrophic loss due to fire, flood, etc.

16. Q. How is an early payoff calculated?
A. The remaining payment stream is discounted at a 7% per annum rate.

17. Q. Why don't you offer a simple interest payoff?
A. The cost of loan or lease origination and fees to sources are included in the original loan or lease amount and must be recovered in the event of an early payoff.
