of purchased portfolios and partner referrals and limited website leads. Sales
personnel provide knowledgeable counsel to our customers, in the form of options
and true comparisons.

The majority of our branch real estate borrowers are existing customers

Direct mail is used to bring customers to the branch – only a small percent of
customers walk into a branch unsolicited

In combination with mail campaign, branch personnel make outbound calls to
marketing leads and current customers

Mailing lists are based on:

Customers value relationship earned with branch network. Consumer Lending’s
core customer is high LTV refinance/debt consolidation customer in middle market.

Branch Real Estate - Customer Profile

Consumer Lending provides oversight over a decentralized branch platform
through these primary centralized functions:

Credit Policy

Lending

Pricing

Compliance

Technology

All aspects of the origination platform are controlled through this framework.

In addition, Consumer Lending has strong governance, management and
planning functions internally and externally audited by corporate audit staff and
state and federal agencies. Consumer Lending has high emphasis on quality
assurance and quality records management.

Origination Process & Controls

Credit Policy and Pricing

Credit Policy

Credit Policy & Lending sets and changes credit policies. All material credit
policy changes are approved by the Consumer Lending Credit Committee

Governs account origination, management, and loss mitigation processes by
employing strong analytical & quantitative discipline to risk management and
operations

Proprietary credit risk (CGS2) and bankruptcy (IBK) scorecards are used for all
automated decisions. Scores also drive manual decision limits. Scorecards are
product-specific and regularly revalidated. FICO is not a key driver for
underwriting.

This group also independently monitors and audits the quality of underwriting

Pricing

Systemically-controlled pricing ensures consistent pricing for all applicants
applying for a similar product

System edits require recalculation of the interest rate if any of the pricing
variables are modified.

Pricing cannot be modified by any front-line branch operations personnel.
Override authority is centralized with regional and divisional Branch
Operations executives. Override rates are managed at less than 3%

Lending/Underwriting

Real estate underwriting is centralized in Elmhurst, Illinois.  There is no lending
authority vested with any branch operations personnel.  The function reports to
the Chief Credit Officer.

Centralized underwriting provides the customer and company consistent
decisions according to internal, external and regulatory guidelines.

Key application data is validated by centralized underwriting.

Underwriters operate within tightly defined standard credit policies and
procedures. About 3% of total decisions made are for variances outside our
standard underwriting guidelines.

Consumer Lending uses a mix of system and human underwriting. All final real
estate loans decisions are currently evaluated by an underwriter. Some
preliminary decisions are systematic.

Earnings / W2 Income

12 months of verifiable income is generally obtained

May be a combination of W2 or earnings statement

Documentation required to explain any variance > 10% between the W2 and
earnings statement

Verification of employment (VOE) (Form 2061) or phone verification is required
when accepting hand-written earnings statement or recent earnings statement
is > 45 days.

VOE (form 2061) may be required when:

< 1 year with the current employer

currently on disability

income is derived from bonus, commission, overtime, etc

determining the likelihood for continued receipt of income

Increased income due to a recent “pay increase” will be accepted with a recent
earnings statement that reflects the increase

Income Evaluation

Collateral Evaluation

Over 90% of all appraisals are conducted by IREP (3^rd party vendor management
company)

A small number of customer-supplied, third-party appraisals are accepted,
pending quality checking by internal appraisal review staff (reports to Chief
Credit Officer)

AVM (Automated Valuation Model) valuations are used on a limited basis

No contact takes place between branch operations personnel and IREP
appraisers

IREP performs back-end quality checks on 100% of its appraisals before
releasing value to branch operations

Two appraisals are required for large loan sizes (i.e., $600,000 in core states;
$700,000 in better performing states)

Internal appraisal review staff reviews valuation discrepancies and performs
back-end audits

Review appraisals submitted by underwriters for “second look”

Review third-party and dual appraisals

Perform audit of IREP and underwriter quality
