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.

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.

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."

Setting the Stage
 Department of Commerce: January 2011 exports of $167.7 billion are up, compared
to December 2010 exports of $163.3 billion. January 2011 imports of $214.1 billion
are also up, compared to December 2010 imports of $203.6 billion
 “To help exports grow even faster, this administration through the President’s
National Export Initiative is committed to assisting small- and medium-sized
businesses export more of their goods and services.” Gary Locke – U.S. Commerce
Secretary
 Five most active markets for US trade: China, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Germany
 Top categories for US global trade: Computer and Electronic Products, Transportation
Equipment, Chemicals, Machinery, Oil & Gas
Global trade has changed. The risks are larger. The rules more complex. And the rewards
are greater. Keeping abreast of changing needs and demands of compliant and efficient
global trade continues to be top of mind for U.S. businesses and their service providers.

International Payment Methods: Letters of credit
 A Letter of Credit replaces risk of BUYER with risk of Issuing Bank
 It assures the SELLER that he will be paid provided that documents
presented comply with its terms and conditions
 A Confirmed Letter of Credit is the undertaking of two Banks; the Issuing
Bank and the Confirming Bank. Both are equally liable to pay the
beneficiary

Letter of Credit (LC) Characteristics
 Offers the most protection to the SELLER
 Three independent “agreements” underline letters of credit
 between BUYER and SELLER (their contract)
 between Applicant and Issuing Bank (application and
reimbursement agreement)
 between Issuing Bank and Beneficiary (the LC)
 Banks deal in documents only. BUYER’s recourse for problems with
goods is to the contract with the SELLER. Commercial dispute
 Documents presented under an LC must comply with its terms and
conditions, otherwise there is no obligation to honor

Documentary Letter of Credit – Fees Illustrated
Confirmation: $1,050 By arrangement. Illustrative rate is .35% flat for each 90 day period.
Acceptance: $750 By arrangement. Illustrative rate is 1% per annum. Assumed 90 days OBL.
Estimated Fees - With Confirmation, No Amendment: $2,370
Discount $1,033 By arrangement. Illustrative rate is 90 Day LIBOR .30 + 1.25%. Assume
discount 10 days after acceptance, thus 80 days.
NOTE: Confirmation, Acceptance and Discount Fees quoted are for illustration only. All
are indicative rates which would be based upon current assumptions and underwriting and
are subject to change
Summary: If you accept an LC payable at 90 days OBL, have that LC confirmed, and also
discount the Acceptance, the total fees will be $3403, (1.13% of the face value of the sale).
Some possible options to deal with the fees might be: retain fees for your account and be
satisfied with netting $297m after bank fees; gross up your price to the buyer to be $303m;
require that the LC state all confirmation, acceptance and discounting commissions for the
account of the buyer, leaving you to only pay $570.
