TERM SHEET

May, 2004

LOAN SIZE, TYPES and GEOGRAPHICAL CRITERIA:

    • $1 million to $20 million
    • Permanent or Bridge financing
    • All Types of income-producing real estate located in United States
    • Land Development, farm and raw ground loans

RATE & TERM:

The bank originates loans with both Fixed and Variable Rates.         However, as with most banks, they prefer funding loans with Variable Rates.   The Variable Rate Loans are priced at a Spread over the One-Year Libor Rate.  The appropriate Spread is determined by the Property Type.  These Spreads, along with the the Debt Service Coverage for each Property Type and the current One-Year Libor rate, can be viewed at Pricing and Debt Service Guidelines.   Additionally, the lending criteria differs depending on whether a loan is recourse or non-recourse.

Generally, the Terms for each kind of Loan are: 

Fixed Rate Loans:                             

    • 2 to 10 year fixed term
    • Rate to be determined per transaction 
    • After fixed period, rate will adjust annually at the 1-year Libor Rate plus the Spread for the particular Property Type
    • 20 year, self amortizing loan
    • Prepayment Penalties = 3% during first 2 years, 2% during next 2 years, then 1% thereafter

                    Current Fixed Rates:
                       
10 years - not presently quoted
                          5 years - 8.25%
                          3 years - 7.50%
   

Variable Rate Loans:

    • One-year Libor rate plus the Spread adjusted annually 
    • Floor of 6.75% and a ceiling of 12.75% available with a 5 basis point premium over stated rates
    • Prepayment Penalties = 2% for 5 years, 1% for 6-10 years, none after 10 years

DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE:  See Pricing and Debt Service Guidelines.

ORIGINATION POINTS:

    • Usually, one (1) discount point is charged by the lender in the form of a "discount" on the note. (For example, in a transaction where the lender commits to a $5,000,000 loan, the face value of the promissory note will be $5,000,000 but the funds advanced would be $4,950,000).

NOTE PURCHASES:

    • Our client is interested in purchasing single or multiple (pools) income-producing loans. Pool size range from $5 - $500 million. Will consider both performing and sub-performing loans.

ESTIMATED CLOSING COSTS:

    • For single asset transactions under $5 million, the major closing costs are estimated to be approximately: a) $5,000 for appraisals reports; b) $4,000 for phase one environmental reports; and; c) legal expenses are estimated to be in a range of $5,000 to $10,000. For larger transactions ($5 million or greater) these costs may vary depending on the size and complexity of the transaction. Of course, third party expenses are passed through to the borrower.

FURTHER INFORMATION:

    • Letter of Interest (an offer with loan terms) from the lender within 10 days of submission of loan proposal.
    • Loan Closings are usually 45 to 60 days from commitment date.
    • Third-Party second mortgages are usually permissible.
    • Earn-out features (or 2nd Funder) are available on case-by-case basis for "Value-Adding" acquisitions.
