Stored Above Ground Assets Article (by Mr. Humphrey)

1. Stored Above Ground Assets
Regarding stored above ground assets in general, we do have a Merchants
Bank that may be willing to issue an SBLC against the asset, using that asset
most likely as SECONDARY collateral (i.e. most lenders will not accept in or
above ground assets as primary collateral, as such assets fail the ABL – asset
based lending – criteria of “appreciating AND DETERMINABLE value”);
providing PRIMARY collateral of AA and AAA quality in order to facilitate
lending (by a subsequent and different end lender, of course).
In order for the Merchants Bank to become interested in such a situation, the
client MUST be willing to MOVE the product upon issuance of an engage-
ment agreement to assimilate the primary collateral and subsequently issue
the SBLC, into the CUSTODIAL POSSESSION of the Merchants Bank. No
exceptions.
As with any ABL situation, the exit strategy, as the SBLC will ultimately be
encumbered, which is most generally a PROJECT is of prime importance; as
the Merchants Bank AND the end lender must be comfortable that the asset
holder will be in a position to repay such a loan. We HIGHLTY suggest that
the project be underwritten PRIOR to submission to the Merchants Bank and
subsequent end lender by a 3rd party INDEPENDENT underwriting firm.
We have in our associate such a firm, already familiar with the underwriting
criteria of our collateral providers and lenders. Please ask to be sent an addi-
tional email regarding same for further information on that strategy.
