their accounts receivable and inventory; (3) allowing use of proceeds
for asset-based working capital secured by inventory and accounts
receivable; (4) including a de minimis amount of domestic accounts
receivable (not to exceed 30%) for EWCP loans used as an asset based
line of credit; (5) allow Applicants to submit projections to support
the need for facilities supporting pre-shipment working capital; (6)
revise the unique requirements for the EWCP to align with industry
standards for asset based lending.
