(a) Existence of liquid markets for disposal of collateral in an expeditious and economically efficient manner; and

(b) Existence of well established, publicly available market prices for the collateral. CBB will seek to ensure that the amount a bank receives when collateral is realised does not deviate significantly from these market prices.

(a) First Claim: Only first liens on, or charges over, collateral are permissible. As such, the bank must have priority over all other lenders to the realised proceeds of the collateral;

(b) The loan agreement must include detailed descriptions of the collateral plus detailed specifications of the manner and frequency of revaluation;

(c) The types of physical collateral accepted by the bank and policies and practices in respect of the appropriate amount of each type of collateral relative to the exposure amount must be clearly documented in internal credit policies and procedures and available for examination and/or audit review;

(d) Bank credit policies with regard to the transaction structure must address appropriate collateral requirements relative to the exposure amount, the ability to liquidate the collateral readily, the ability to establish objectively a price or market value, the frequency with which the value can readily be obtained (including a professional appraisal or valuation), and the volatility of the value of the collateral. The periodic revaluation process must pay particular attention to "fashion-sensitive" collateral to ensure that valuations are appropriately adjusted downward of fashion, or model-year, obsolescence as well as physical obsolescence or deterioration; and

(e) In cases of inventories (e.g. raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods, dealers' inventories of autos) and equipment, the periodic revaluation process must include physical inspection of the collateral.
