Section 2 Build America Bonds 5
Distribution of Build America Bond Transactions By Par Amount BUILD AMERICA BONDS Build America Bonds Market Strong • Morgan Stanley was in the market earlier this month with two sizable BAB financings for: • $400 millionDulles Toll Road (Book-running Senior Manager) • $825 million North Texas Tollway (Co-manager on BABs and Bookrunner on Tax-Exempt Bonds)) • BAB financings have been done by almost every category of Section 103 issuers • While limited as to use (no refunding and no working capital financings), BABs have been instrumental in providing low cost financing for many important infrastructure projects • The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was signed into law on February 17, 2009 and allows for the issuance of a new class of municipal bonds: Build America Bonds • Allows governmental issuers to sell taxable debt until 2011 and receive a cash rebate from the U.S. Treasury equal to 35% of all interest paid for the term of the debt • Since the Treasury gave guidance in April 2009, Build America Bonds financings have proven to be heavily used by issuers • The BABs program has generated over $20 billion of issuance • 16.6% of municipal bond issuance since mid April • Includes issuers from 34 states • Taxable investors are seeking exposure to municipal credit, which has caused a substantial decline in BABs credit spreads Source U.S. Department of the Treasury. 7/20/2009 6

The U.S. subsidy to issuers is not a “line item” appropriation in Treasury’s annual budget, but rather will be part of Treasury’s general appropriation BUILD AMERICA BONDS Build America Bonds Program Terms and Conditions 10
BUILD AMERICA BONDS Tax-Exempt Bonds vs. BABs: Structuring Considerations • Non-callable (i.e. make-whole call) BABs are preferred by investors, although recently some have been issued as callable • 10-year call option can cost 40-50 bps currently reflecting the more limited buyer base for callable bonds vs. the traditional non-call or make whole call structures to which corporate investors are accustomed • BABs are not advance refundable in practice because of the treatment of the subsidy and the negative arbitrage likely to be associated therewith • Overall deal size of at least $100 million to attract investor interest and allow for greater liquidity is ideal but issues of smaller size are saleable 11
Tax-Exempt Yields vs. Taxable Build America Bonds Yield Curve Estimated based on market conditions as of August 3, 2009 (%) BUILD AMERICA BONDS Comparison of Funding Costs Generic A rated issuer • Given the steeper municipal curve, Build America taxable debt is more cost effective on the long end • Build America Bonds may afford the issuer significant interest savings • Optional call provisions have been used on some recent transactions • A 10-year call option would currently cost 40-50 bps 12
BUILD AMERICA BONDS Build America Bonds Federal Subsidy Treatment The BAB subsidy can be treated in one of three ways: • Revenue: this method may hurt debt service limits and budgeting requirements • Net Against Debt Service via Deposit to Debt Service Fund: this is the preferred method • Deposit to Capital Improvement Fund: this method would reduce capital improvement requirements and would reduce future borrowing needs • Most revenue bond issuers have treated the BABs subsidy as a top line revenue as opposed to a net against debt service • For state general obligation BAB issuers treatment of subsidy is a state by state issue • Budgeting • Debt Limits • Appropriation 13

BUILD AMERICA BONDS BABs Mechanical Considerations • Payment of Interest • Payment is “contemporaneously with each interest payment date under such bond" • Initially, an issuer needs to submit a new form 8038-CP to claim the credit for each interest payment • For a fixed-rate bond, the form needs to be submitted between 45 and 90 days before the interest payment date; the refund will be paid by that date • For variable-rate bonds, the credit is paid quarterly on a reimbursement basis, based on the actual bond rates for the quarter • The regulations expect a more streamlined approach for payment mechanics to be developed by 2010 • Additional Documentation • The issuer must irrevocably elect to designate the bonds as BABs before the bonds are issued, and the election must be reported on IRS form 8038-G • The designation should be made (or delegated) in the issuer’s authorizing resolution/ordinance • The issuance should also be reported on the 8038-G by checking Line 18, "Other", and inserting "Build America Bond (Direct Payment)” 15
