2. Access to Solutions – What is “Bankable”? • In a recent export finance seminar, Mike Howard, Regional Director of the Ex-Im Bank, made the very important statement: Ex-Im’s programs are not designed to make bad deals look good. • During this most recent financial recession, there has been much attention paid to credit quality as well as compliance (OFAC, Patriot Act and Know Your Customer, for example). • When you’re seeking to talk with a commercial bank regarding financing to support your global trade activity, you’ll need to present a solid case. • A business plan and 2 to 3 years of financial statements are a start. • Arrange a meeting with a commercial banker at your financial institution and explain your complete scenario – not just the single transaction, but how that transaction fits into your company’s overall business and business plan. • Be prepared to tell your story a couple of times, because export finance will almost always involve not only your domestic banker but also the international specialist(s) at that bank who will work with the banker.

3. Structured Trade Solution - Export-Import Bank • The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) is the official export credit agency of the United States. Ex-Im Bank's mission is to assist in financing the export of U.S. goods and services to international markets. • The agency assists exporters by guaranteeing term financing to creditworthy international buyers, both private and public sector, for purchases of U.S. goods and services. • Ex-Im Bank enables U.S. companies — large and small — to turn export opportunities into real sales that help to maintain and create U.S. jobs and contribute to a stronger national economy. • Ex-Im Bank does not compete with private sector lenders but provides export financing products that fill gaps in trade financing. They assume credit and country risks that the private sector is unable or unwilling to accept. They also help to level the playing field for U.S. exporters by matching the financing that other governments provide to their exporters. • Product suite includes working capital guarantees (pre-export financing); export credit insurance; and loan guarantees and direct loans (buyer financing). No transaction is too large or too small. On average, 85% of transactions directly benefit U.S. small businesses. • With more than 70 years of experience, Ex-Im Bank has supported more than $400 billion of U.S. exports, primarily to developing markets worldwide.

Offering additional capacity and more flexible, responsive and commercially oriented insurance programs WHEN: • When you want to mitigate the risk of loss and/or cap it • When you want to meet or beat the competition • When you want to tap new sources of financing for your company and your buyers

10. Ex-Im Bank Success Story – Using A/R Insurance • Guntert & Zimmerman Const. Div., Inc. (as reported on the Ex-Im website, Nov 8, 2010) • Backed by an insurance policy from the Ex-Im Bank, small business Guntert & Zimmerman Construction Inc. (G&Z) recently exported $1.58 million in concrete paving equipment to a Czech Republic company that will use the equipment to expand its fleet of road construction machinery. G&Z was initially started in 1942 by current President & CEO’s Ronald Guntert Jr.’s father as an engineering and construction company to fulfill World War II contracts.  Today the company has 150 employees and exports to a wide range of global markets including the Netherlands, Indonesia, India, the Czech Republic and Canada. • Mr. Guntert remarked “Ex-Im’s support were instrumental in our being able to secure this deal… This Ex-Im Bank backed credit facility helped push the purchase in our favor." Mr. Guntert says the transaction "will be a big contribution to total revenues for the year. It will help keep our people busy. Right now our backlog is exports.  If the backlog continues to grow, we will bring on more people. Currently we're looking for another engineer and some machinists."
