  1. US 36 Managed Lanes Project Case Study

  2. Project Corridor • US 36 Corridor (the “Corridor”) is comprised of 23 miles of highway connecting Denver to Boulder, Colorado (dual direction heavy commuter route) • The Corridor diagonally bisects the northwest Denver metropolitan area, carrying an average of between 80,000 and 100,000 trips per day • The Corridor is economically diverse • ~17% of Denver metro region's business (>26,000 businesses) and employment (>200,000 jobs) located along Corridor • By 2035, population and employment within 3 miles of the Corridor are anticipated to grow by 28% and 53%, respectively • Long-term employment along the Corridor is expected to grow by 129,580 workers with annual wages totaling $520 billion by 2035 • Existing commuter corridor with established traffic patterns - allows for more precise traffic forecasting than greenfield toll projects 2

  3. Project Scope • Financing, design and construction of the Phase 2 Corridor General Purpose Lanes • Operations on the Phase 1 Corridor, Phase 2 Corridor and I-25 Express lanes • Project Co collects to its account toll revenue generated on above Managed Lanes • Maintenance and Lifecycle as follows: *1 - Concessionaire will lifecycle Non-Separable Tasks (tasks that that relate to lifecycle of a maintainable elements that are not easily delineated between the managed and general lanes (eg. a shared overpass)). HPTE to reimbursed Project for appropriate % for GPL lifecycle. *2 - Substructure not a Concessionaire responsibility *3 - Concessionaire responsible for Deck and Superstructure only. Substructure (piers, etc.) remains HPTE responsibility. 3

  4. Concession Agreement • Concession Term is 50 years from Planned Full Commencement Date • Concession Agreement based on an industry accepted precedent • Equitable Compensation, Relief and Force Majeure Provisions • Standard Default and Termination Provisions • Compensation for any expansion of the US36 and I-25 • Revenue Share between HPTE and PRD based on PRD meeting certain return thresholds 4

  5. Tolling and Revenue • Toll revenue will be collected from 7 toll gantries on US36 and 1(existing) gantry on the I-25 . Free vehicles include BRT, HOV3+, emergency vehicles • Each gantry will charge a separate toll • Initially tolls will be based on “time-of-day” pricing • In later years when congestion has increased tolling will be “fully dynamic” with pricing based on real-time expected time savings and guaranteeing 45 mph travel • I-25 revenue will account for a significant percentage of total Project revenue • I-25 is currently a tolled route with a history of revenue collection since 2006 and as such this revenue does not carry typical greenfield revenue risk 5
