Welcome to North Shore Bank's family of powersports dealers. We are pleased to have you as a dealer of ours and are very excited about providing you with the finest financing plans available today. At North Shore Banks, we stress three important factors in the way we do business:

Service - We staff our office with adequate loan officers and support staff to meet even the busiest seasonal needs of our dealer base. We emphasize our one-hour turnaround time on most credit applications.
Expertise - Because the recreational industry represents a large part of our business, our personnel are well-versed in the latest powersports models. We know your business and can provide you with the terms you need to arrange your sale.
Competitive Interest Rates - We may not always be the lowest, but our rates are always competitive. Most of the time, we are the lowest, and we try hard to be the leader. Our rates are established to provide us with an appropriate profit to allow us to remain a long-term lender to the recreational industry.

We are anticipating a very successful relationship, and our promise is to work hard to provide you with the best financing programs available.

Dealer Programs

0% Interest Loan Program

North Shore Bank's 0% Interest Loan Program can be used effectively when interest rates are at the bottom of the interest cycle. The program requires the dealer to sell the powersport vehicle at an assumed full list price because the dealer, in effect, is paying a discount to the bank to provide 0% financing to the customer. Of course, the dealer can pass along any discounts that it wants to the customer as well, but needs to be careful before quoting a sale price. There is no finance reserve paid on this program.

This program is computed by using the Bank's buy-rate on retail contracts and discounting the amount financed. The dealer will need to have a program to compute this calculation. The bank uses software called T-Value. This software is available at a special price to our dealers. Contact your sales representative to make arrangements for the purchase.

0% financing has, from time to time, been very attractive, and dealers should apply those financing strategies to the recreational industry.

As always, a competitive interest rate for calculating the discount
The dealer can offer up to 60-month terms
Normal down payment terms apply, but the program is most effective when used with a 20% down payment plus tax and fees requirement
Credit insurance can be written, but is subject to the same discount as the other parts of the transaction
The program can be used on any of our small powersports products

Rate Buydown Program

North Shore Bank is pleased to offer a very competitive rate buydown program to be used as you see fit to help increase sales.

You may buy down the rate in 25 basis point increments. For every 25 basis point buydown, the dealer will pay a fee of one percent of the amount financed to North Shore Bank. This may be done up to a maximum of a 200 basis point rate buydown for a fee of eight percent of the amount financed.

Please include a check for the rate buydown fee in the funding package. This program is not available for fax funding and the buydown check must come from the dealer - not the customer.

For example, dealer sells a unit with an amount financed of $25,000 and a buy rate of 7.00%. The following table displays the rate buydown options:

Rate	Fee paid by Dealer to North Shore Bank on a $25,000 unit
7.00%	$0.00
6.75%	$250.00
6.50%	$500.00
6.25%	$750.00
6.00%	$1,000.00
5.75%	$1,250.00
5.50%	$1,500.00
5.25%	$1,750.00
5.00%	$2,000.00

Indirect Powersports Financing Dealer Reserve Program

In the interest of providing our participating powersports dealers with the finest dealer reserve program, we have developed the following guidelines to be used in administering the program. The intent is to provide our dealers with a generous participation in contracts written while protecting them against charge-back shock in the off-season.

Reserve is based on the rate charged on the contract and paid on the finance amount according to the following schedule:

Customer Rate	Reserve %	Fully Earned Reserve After x Regular Installment Payments
Buy Rate	0%	6
Buy Rate + .25%	1%	6
Buy Rate + .50%	2%	6
Buy Rate + .75%	3%	6
Buy Rate + 1.00%	4%	6
Buy Rate + 1.50%	5%	10

NOTE: 5% reserve is not available on all terms. Please refer to a current rate sheet for details.

Dealer will be subject to a chargeback of the reserve paid if the loan is paid in full prior to the collection of 6 regular payments if dealer reserve is from 1% - 4%, or 10 regular monthly payments if dealer reserve is 5%.

NOTE: There must be 6 or 10 regular payments made, if the 6th or 10th payment is the balance of the loan, the dealer will be subject to a chargeback.

If the loan principal is reduced by greater than 35% before (a) 6 regular payments are made if 1% - 4% reserve is paid or (b) 10 regular payments are made if 5% reserve is paid, the dealer is subject to a chargeback

Dealer Volume Discount Program

North Shore Bank recognizes the value of dealer relationships and loyalty to a lender. For that reason, we offer our dealers who reward the bank with large volumes of business a volume discount program.

The program is based on the volume of contracts the dealer sells to the bank. There are three ways of attaining a volume discount. In any case, the dealer will receive a .25% reduction on the buy-rate they receive from the bank.

The three methods are as follows:

In any one month, the dealer sells the bank ten (10) contracts. In that case, the dealer will receive a 0.25% drop in the buy rate for the following month.
During a twelve-month period running from October 1 through September 30, the dealer sells the bank one hundred twenty (120) contracts. In that case, the dealer will receive a 0.25% drop in the buy-rate for the entire following calendar year
During a twelve-month period running from October 1 through September 30, the dealer sells the bank $1,200,000 in contracts. In that case, the dealer will receive a 0.25% drop in the buy rate for the entire following calendar year.
