OMB No. 3048

LONG-TERM LOAN OR GUARANTEE APPLICATION
ATTACHMENT G: Credit Information

This attachment applies to all Long-Term Loan or Guarantee Applications, except for Large Aircraft and Project
Finance Transactions. Provide the General Information and Supplemental Financial Information requested below
(as applicable) on the borrower and, if any, guarantor. If any items are not available, provide an explanation.
Following Ex-Im Bank’s initial review of the application, an Ex-Im Bank Credit Officer may request additional
credit information.
In the event that the borrower lacks sufficient credit strength in terms of asset size, operating history or cash flows to
provide a reasonable assurance of repayment, an Ex-Im Bank Credit Officer will contact you to discuss whether
“Structured Finance” credit enhancements are appropriate. Such enhancements may include one or more of the
following:
- Special purpose accounts, including offshore payment accounts, escrow or reserve accounts, or
other accounts that would be subject to Ex-Im Bank’s control.
- Covenants and default provisions such as financial ratio or debt service coverage requirements that
would, if violated, prevent payment of dividends to the company owners.
- Insurance requirements that might be more strict than those typically applicable under corporate
insurance policies.
- Letters of credit or other sources of funds that would be pledged by the sponsor to Ex-Im Bank
through a bank or other third party.
