RE: Sufficiency of Lender's Funds

Dear Associates:

We have been alerted by our home office that you may experience a problem in collecting good funds from the following lenders:

Affinity National Mortgage - 10 Great Valley Parkway, Suite 120 - Malvern, PA 19355
Affinity National Mortgage - 303 S. Kings Highway, Suite 5 - Cherry Hill, NJ 08034
Shareholders Funding, Inc. - 10 Great Valley Parkway, Suite 120 - Malvern, PA 19355
Shareholders Funding, Inc. - 303 S. Kings Highway, Suite 5 - Cherry Hill, NJ 08034

In order to close a loan transaction involving any of these lenders, we must insist that you have good funds in your possession, i.e., require that loan proceeds checks be certified. Under no circumstances may you close such a loan with the expectation that uncollected funds will be good.

All questions and requests for clarification should be directed to either the undersigned or Mike Schleupner, Jr., our State Counsel.
