Here is a revised power point. My changes are in red so they should show up. I figure that you can take what you want of this for inclusion in the other. I tried not to overdo things but Credit gets involved very early and serves a role that is far more than simply a review function. Holler if you have questions.

For example, the restriction does not apply to loan guarantees for projects that have their credit subsidy costs paid under Section 1705 (a program funded under the Recovery Act). Nevertheless, in an abundance of caution, please let one of the attorneys know if you do have a project that may have other Federal involvement, even if the project appears to be Section 1705-eligible. Please also note that we have posted an FAQ on this topic: http://www.lgprogram.energy.gov/faq2.htm#17. -----Original Message----From: Leong, Alvin Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2010 1:13 PM To: DL-CF-1.3 Federal Staff; DL-CF-1.3 Contractor Staff Subject: Appropriations Restriction Please be aware that there is a restriction in the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009 relating to the Title 17 Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program that prevents the making of loan guarantees to support any project where funds, personnel or property of any Federal agency, instrumentality, personnel or affiliated entity are expected to be used, directly or indirectly, to support the project or obtain goods or services from the project. The restriction is broadly worded and applies to acquisitions, contracts, demonstrations, exchanges, grants, incentives, leases, procurements, sales, other transaction authority, or other arrangements. As an example, it would apply to off-take agreements with Federal entities. The provision contains some limited exceptions.

See the attached letter to Sec. Chu from Reps. Cummings and Kucinich regarding the CBO report on credit subsidy calculations for nuclear loan guarantees. The letter, which is also on the committees minority website, flags the CBO report for our attention and expresses concerns about the nuclear subsidy calculations. However it also notes that that the Members do not have any reason to believe that DOEs calculation of credit subsidy fees for other energy technologies is inappropriate. The letter asks for a meeting to discuss the CBO findings. I am planning to suggest a staff level discussion as a first step, which I expect the committee staff would accept. CED

On the others, it cant really be broken down like that. Here a very much oversimplified order of likely credit subsidy score (from highest to lowest) fully recognizing that each score is highly, highly project-specific so these are gross oversimplifications. 1.

Thanks. Based on your response below Follow up questions from Taunja: You mention that FIPP projects are more mature than innovative projects. How many of each under 1705? Which ones are FIPP/Commercial/Innovative? Which kinds of projects have higher scores? Wind? Solar? Can you provide average credit subsidy scores by sector? You mention a plug number for projects with term sheets out is the plug based on the type of project? If not, how do you determine what the plug should be? Thanks again.

Cc: McCrea, Jim Subject: RE: This is easy from my perspective, and I have conveyed the same to OMB yesterday, however I will let Susan opine: 1.) The commitment letter/term sheets are always superseded by the actual loan documents. 2.) The loan documents in their total are the legally binding contracts governing all aspects of the transaction/transactions involved for the project. Therefore, there is little difference if a CP relates to a closing event or to a funding event as long as the language is perfected in the documents. It is most common for there to be CP's to funding in transactions and this in no way contributes to enhanced risk. In fact, CP's to first funding are in of themselves designed to mitigate risk.

-----Original Message----From: Mwavua, Andrew Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 12:08 PM To: McCrea, Jim Subject: A few high-level questions on LGPO Credit Policy Jim, It was a pleasure to have met you on Friday last week, when Kimberly Arigbede introduced us. I am the analyst within CFO that has been assigned to the loan programs. Our office (the Office of Risk Management within the Office of the CFO) is working complete our analysis on Recovery Act challenges for LGPO for Steve Isakowitz, the CFO, by COB tomorrow. As we discussed, I will be sending you a meeting request later today. In the meantime, I was hoping the below questions are brief and high-level enough for you to initially respond prior to our meeting? Thank you in advance.
1) When is a credit subsidy % or range determined within LGPO? THERE IS A 3 PART PROCESS FOR THE CREDIT SUBSIDY COSTS. EACH STEP IS CALLED A GATE. GATE 1 IS A BROAD RANGE CALCULATION AT THE TIME OF THE APPLICATION WITH NO DOE ANALYSIS. IT RELIES ON THE AMORTIZATION SCHEDULE IN THE APPLICATION AND THE RATING AGENCY CREDIT ASSESSMENT SUBMITTED WITH THE APPLICATION. CERTAIN CASH FLOWS ARE GENERATED AND SUBMITTED FTO OMB FOR APPROVAL. (b) (5) GATE 2 OCURS AS PART OF THE CONDITIONAL COMMITMENT STAGE. THIS IS PREPARED AS THE DUE DILIGENCE NECESSARY FOR GOING TO CRB IS COMPLETED. DOE GENERATES RISK AND RECOVERY RATINGS BASED ON ITS ANALYIS OF THE TRANSACTION AND THEN CASH FLOWS WHICH ARE SENT TO OMB FOR APPROVAL. (b) (5)
GATE 3 IS PART OF THE TRANSACTION CLOSING PROCESS AND RESULTS IN S SINGLE POINT CREDIT SUBSIDY COST BASED ON THE DOE RISK AND RECOVERY TRATINGS AND CASH FLOWS. THIS IS APPROVED BY OMB. AT THIS POINT, UNDER T17, THE OBKLIGATING EVENT OCURS. UNDER ATVM, THE OBLIGATING EVENT AND THE SINGLE POINT CREDIT SUBSIDY COST OCURS AS PART OF THE CONDITIONAL COMMITMENT PHASE WHEN THE TRANSACTION IS TAKEN TO CRB. 2) When do we first share it with OMB, and when do the respond initially? SEE ABOVE. (b) (5)
(I know that ultimately, the final credit subsidy rate is 30 days before closing). ACTUALLY NOT. WE GET A FINAL CREDIT SUBSIDY COST ABOUT 3 DAYS BEFORE CLOSING WHICH IS AT THE END OF A PROCESS WHICH COMMENCED 28 DAYS (CALENDAR NOT BUSINESS) PRIOR TO CLOSING WHEN A FULL PACKAGE OF MATERIAL IS PROVIDED TO OMB INCLUDING THE FINAL CASH FLOWS FOR THE CREDIT SUBSIDY COST CALCULATION. 3) What are the rates and/or ranges of credit subsidy for the current and imminent conditional commitments?
(b) (5)
HOPE THAT HELPS. IF YOU HAVE MORE QUESTIONS FIRE AWAY. ABLE TO RESPOND TIL THIS EVENING AS WE ARE (b) (5)
I PROBABLY WONT BE
IF YOU NEED NUMBERS ON PAST ATVM TRANSACTIONS, I DO NOT KNOW THOSE AND EXPECT THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO GET THAT INFO FROM LACH SEWARD. JIM

Meant to drop you a note today and just did not get to it yet. The answer is yes, we are making progress and the analysis is underway. It actually requires a very extensive analysis to be able to respond and I expect it to be done some time next week. (b) (5) There are many things that change between (b) (5) For example, the calculation of credit subsidy cost is very complex and needs to be carefully adjusted for the structure of the transaction as all the cash flows must be precisely calculated. On transactions with multiple debt tranches, the structuring of the credit subsidy analysis is very complex and difficult. We start with our best view on how to calculate it for a given structure and that is sent to OMB as a way to start a dialogue with them on how to properly calculate credit subsidy cost. This happens on many transactions. (b) (5)

Barwell, Owen Subject: RE: Credit Papers Vic -I don't know whether they are on a shared drive. It is possible that the Origination staff keep them on a shared drive. Most members of Credit do not have access to the DOE system. As a result, we keep nothing on any shared drive. If you find that you cannot access the credit papers from a shared drive, let me know which ones you need and I will provide them to you. Another way to find them is that when I make the submittal into the interagency process, the Technical representative(s)are generally copied on that distribution so they should be a source for you. The version that goes to OMB and Treasury/FFB is the final version of the credit paper. Note that I am copying Owen not for action but because this is likely a useful data point for him as he considers the revamping of our document management systems as it demonstrates a real life situation which our current systems leave us poorly equipped to address.

Federal agency pursuant to section 406(b), any fee or interest surcharge (the amount by which the interest rate charged exceeds the rate determined pursuant to section 502(5)(E)) that the Bank charges to a private borrower pursuant to section 6(c) of the Federal Financing Bank Act of 1973 shall be considered a cash flow to the Government for the purposes of determining the cost of the direct loan pursuant to section 502(5).

Jim, This is a bit out of my area of expertise (law). However, one thing to add: Notwithstanding the use of the word fee, a cash flow is a cash flow. Most Federal Credit programs (especially guarantee programs) have fees that serve to affect (reduce) the credit subsidy. I think the use of the word fee has nothing to do with it. In rare circumstances, some collections called administrative fees have been charged to borrowers in some programs that is collected specifically for the purpose of offsetting administrative fees, and, in these special cases, these fees are deposited directly into the Program account (not the financing account). In these rare cases, these specific fees would not affect the subsidy rate. (b) (5)

McCrea, Jim Winters, Matthew; Duong, Hai RE: letter to DOE Friday, October 01, 2010 4:20:00 PM
Not an issue. Here is a proposed draft response: DOE conducts its interagency process which includes review and confrmation of the credit subsidy cost with OMB as part of the process by which transactions are approved for conditional commitments. To properly score the transaction and prepare the credit subsidy cost, the risks associated with the transaction must be well understood which, in turn, requires significant due diligence to be completed and a term sheet to have been negotiated with the applicant. At any point in time, DOE generally has several transactions in the approval process. At the time this is being written, two transactions are at OMB and a third transaction will be sent to OMB within the next week which is typical.

From: Levy, Jonathan [mailto:Jonathan.Levy@hq.doe.gov] Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2010 6:30 PM To: Nelson, Matthew (Feinstein); Crowell, Brad Subject: RE: letter to DOE
Matt, following up on our conversation from yesterday, heres an updated deck and a quick thought from our program folks:
The old slide deck contained all of our 1705 projects in due diligence (22). The updated slide deck contains only those 1705 projects that we anticipate reaching conditional commitment within the next 90 days (12). We are trying to get more accurate as it is impossible to predict when they will reach conditional commitment outside of 90 days.

Brad and Jonathan Attached is a letter from Senator Feinstein to Secretary Chu. The paper copy will be accompanied by a copy of the DOE report found at: http://www.energy.gov/recovery/documents/Recovery_Act_Memo_California.pdf I would appreciate it if you could make sure the Secretary sees this letter, as it is a follow up to the personal conversation that they had in May. More to come today. Best Matt

Hi there. Went looking for you and ran into Morgan who was also looking for oyu. You were hiding from both of us but Morgan gave me a sense of what you are looking for a check list of the docs required for the T17 approval process. Here is the list of documents with which we launch the Gate 2 (Conditional Commitment) approval process on any T17 transaction: Credit Paper Transaction presentation (there are Credit Committee, OMB/FFB/Treasury and CRB versions that are brokedn out of a single large deck) Term sheet Independent Engineers report Market study (not on every transaction) Risk Matrix Recovery Matrix Rating agency credit assessment Transaction Model Credit Subsidy Cost Cash Flows (numerous files, multiple iterations) Other third party reports (varies depending on the transaction and can sometimes be embedded in the IE report. These might include a geothermal resource study or a wind study) There are sometimes additional presentations that get used for one reason or another but they are not standard. Also, the approval process ultimately results in and generates Q&A with OMB and with Treasury/FFB which can include multiple rounds. There are reasons why I keep emphasising T17 Conditional Commitment Approval Process. The closing process generates different documents and secondly, ATVM has different documents. I am copying Brian on this as we will both be involved as you collect things. Let me know what other questions you might have.

Nida Regarding your questions, yes, there is an FFB spread included. That number has changed over time and is not disclosed. Secondly, I(b) (5) . I will say that the numbers they got were unofficial estimates provided before the Credit Subsidy Cost methodology had been approved and the numbers provided officially in the letter were based on the methodology as approved by OMB and the numbers for Oglethorpe were also approved by OMB. You might want to check with Dick Corrigan about the unofficial estimates as I think that stem from the early stages of the nuclear process. Hope this helps.

Jim, point taken. I was really looking for input on: 1) (b) (5)
Yes, from what I understand, the letter will have to go to OMB for concurrence. However, I am responsible for trying to pull together a draft that is responsive to the questions asked in the letter, and that will be able to clear OMB.

Please see the attached letter, which Oglethorpe sent us on May 6, 2010, about Vogtle's estimated credit subsidy cost. Nicholas Whitcombe was asked to draft response (below), but Ken Cestari suggested I ask you for some guidance/language. My draft response is attached as a Word Document, and is titled 05.06.10 Oglethorpe re Vogtle Subsidy Cost Estimate. Oglethorpe's letter asks DOE to: 1)provide more transparency regarding the subsidy calculations for Oglethorpe Power including whether or not the subsidy costs are in addition to, or inclusive of the proposed spread to Treasury rates 2)explain why the subsidy estimate increased so dramatically from prior indications; and 3)reassess the assumptions used in the calculation to ensure that they are representative of this proposed transaction. I need your help in responding to the first two questions; I would like to flesh out the points in Whitcombes draft so that we can be a bit more
responsive. For your reference, I have also attached the January 15, 2010 letter we sent to Oglethorpe, and a draft response to Georgia Power, which is currently with OMB for approval, that expressed concerns similar to the ones expressed in Oglethorpes May 6, letter. Please provide any comments/suggestions to my draft via Track Changes. me know if and when you would like to meet and discuss. -----Original Message----From: Whitcombe, Nicholas Sent: Monday, May 17, 2010 12:14 PM To: Offner, Julie; Chaudhary, Nida Subject: FW: Oglethorpe response draft Please see below sent last week to Eleni. -----Original Message----From: Whitcombe, Nicholas Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2010 11:03 AM To: Pelican, Eleni Subject: Oglethorpe response draft Eleni, See below - it responds to them, however, no specifics on "the next phase".

Thanks. -----Original Message----From: Barwell, Owen Sent: Monday, March 07, 2011 12:37 PM To: Dey, John; McCrea, Jim (CONTR) Subject: RE: Project Finance clinic John, I suggest breaking this into a couple of sessions, with the first focusing on project finance structures and how they are assessed/rated from a credit perspective in LPO. We can then follow up w/FCRA and OMB's role in calculating the credit subsidy at a later date (if needed). The critical item I thought was to have CFO staff prepared WRT their role on CC and CRB - and it is viewing the credit worthiness of a transaction that is most important.
