A new way to fund real estate improvements…. Confidential - PACE Equity2 Redirecting energy expenditures

PACE Solution 3 What is PACE? Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) is an innovative way for owners to pay for upgrades to buildings PACE covers 100% of the improvement costs, up 20% of a buildings value, repaid through a tax assessment on the property for up to 20 years. PACE is modeled after methods to fund public benefits such as roads, sidewalks, and fire departments. PACE funding comes from private capital sources 350+ Commercial Projects Completed – $150m in funded projects Confidential - PACE Equity

PACE Solution 5 Private market investors like PACE because assessment liens are a proven, strong credit.

Existing mortgage lenders support projects that increase the value of their collateral. Local governments like PACE because it creates jobs and helps meet conservation goals. Contractors support PACE because it opens up new sales opportunities Taxpayers like PACE because the city takes on no liability and gets a boost in the local economy. PACE is a win/win for all stakeholders!

PACE Value Proposition Scenario: Tool in the capital stack Confidential - PACE Equity15 Value Proposition: Cheaper capital than equity Enables projects that do not meet internal project return requirements Non Recourse Tax treatment as an operating expense No required repayment upon sale of the property Long tenor – 20 years Debt: 4%-6% Equity: 15% - 18% PACE: 6%-7% (2% after tax) Project Capital: 20%+
16
Scenario: PACE in the capital stack Confidential - PACE Equity16 Background $30m Investment to transform an old building Pre Valuation: $3m / Post valuation $30m Intended project capitalization: 30% equity / 70% debt PACE investment determination: 20% of building value ($6m) Assessment is applied and passed on to tenants as a property tax assessment. Upon sale, assessment transfers to subsequent owner (does not have to get paid back) Impact: 4x Improvement to Investor Returns
17
Scenario: Boosting NOI and building value Confidential - PACE Equity17 Background Invest $2m in HVAC, Lighting, & Windows w/ 10 year payback PACE Financing term of 20 years @ 7% Effective Cost of Capital Impact: $1m immediate improvement to building value.

A new way to fund real estate improvements…. Confidential - PACE Equity23 Our premise is that it takes a lot of effort to get deals across the finish line. Everything from A to Z. Who is going to do that work? Customer? Contractor? PACE Administrator? PACE Finance Provider? Our business is intended to fill this gap by enabling building owners and contractors to execute PACE Projects.
24
“What Makes a Good Project?” Confidential - PACE Equity24 Project min. size of $250K+ Strategically important investment in building Building age 15 years+ Mechanical & electrical equipment end of life issues Building comfort & people productivity issues High energy usage, people occupancy, hours of operation Non-profit or Complicated ownership structure Existing difficulty passing costs to tenants Desire to improve property with multiple measures with simple payback < 14 years. Mortgage lender not a CMBS If no active PACE program, then project size of $1m+ to justify effort to put district in place.
25
A lot more than financing Confidential - PACE Equity25 Sales Assistance. Engage with the customer to help sell a PACE funded multi-measure bundle Collaboration Platform. Provide an online project development platform to drive tasks, manage project data, milestones, risk management, and communication Energy Modeling.

Scenario: New Construction Confidential - PACE Equity27 Customer Objectives Reduce Equity Non-recourse financing Boost ROI “Max out the PACE Program” Approach Define PACE Equity funding goal Early engagement with Mortgage lenders Project development & energy modeling to define scope, cost, and savings of PACE Equity Investment Theoretical energy baseline derived from ASHRAE 90.1 Benefit of lifecycle cost analysis of different systems Pre-payment structured to support hold term 100% of PACE Equity funds available at closing (pre- construction) Improvements: HVAC, Elevators, Windows, Lighting, Domestic Hot Water, Roof, Solar, etc Source: PACE Now

Approach Comparison PACE vs. Traditional ESCO Confidential - PACE Equity28 Benefits of PACE Equity development process Customer can run open procurement process with vendors of their choice Expected 100 bps reduced financing costs by leveraging tax lien of PACE Performance Guarantee is much less expensive and only required for PACE to meet state guidelines. Guarantee requirement for PACE is roughly 50% of savings as compared to 90% for ESCOs. Annual M&V is not required for PACE projects. ESCO margin of 24%-35% can be drastically reduced. PACE has favorable accounting treatment that does not impact debt capacity.
29
Preliminary Analysis & Approvals Confidential - PACE Equity29 Scope of work: Prepare energy savings report (compare specs to code requirements/existing conditions) Submit interest form to city and confirm eligibility Work with client to obtain mortgage lender consent Obtain non-binding financing commitment from 1 or more sources of long term PACE capital to support this project through 2 closings. Prepare Project Development Agreement Not to exceed budget: $10k Terms: Accrue costs up to the budget. To be paid out of closing proceeds. If client does not enter into Project Development Agreement within 3 months, then client will be invoiced for costs incurred up to the budgeted amount.
30
Detailed Design Confidential - PACE Equity30 Scope of work: Create building model (eQuest) to define savings of the selected improvement measures. Deliver energy report defining baseline conditions and energy savings. Collaboration with Focus on Energy to obtain custom incentives/rebates Preparation of application and closing materials Not to exceed budget: TBD as a result of Prelim Terms: Accrue costs up to the budget. To be paid out of closing proceeds. If closing does not occur, for any reason, within 12 months then client will be invoiced for costs incurred up to the budgeted amount.

Long Term Market Imbalance The ESCO Industry (Energy Service Companies) is a $5B Industry. 91% comes from Federal and MUSH Markets…. US Building Stock (Estimated 2003) Billion Sq Ft Source: Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey 2003 (DOE); Team Analysis INDICATIVE …. Yet the private sector represents 70% of the building stock. Confidential - PACE Equity31
32
Long Term Market Imbalance 32 Buildings owners have not been willing to make these investments. Why? ROI is not competitive. Split Incentive. Tenants pay utilities and get benefit of investments yielding utility savings. Short Term View. Owners need flexibility to sell property. Access to Capital. Difficulty getting low cost capital due to credit quality or ownership structure. Top barriers to pursuing energy efficiency for your company? Source: Johnson Controls and International Facility Management Association, “2012 Energy Efficiency Indicator – Global Results” Confidential - PACE Equity 70% of the private building stock is over 15 years old and has never been upgraded.

Sampling of Value Propositions Confidential - PACE Equity34 Sampling of value proposition across 5 projects: ScenarioValue Proposition to owners Conversion of an old mostly vacant office building to a branded hotel. Requires total investment of $30m Considered low cost equity. $2.5m represents 1/3 of the total equity requirement at an attractive cost of capital Non-profit building where bylaws prevent debt and there is considerable deferred maintenance. Long term low cost capital that is not considered debt. Improvements paid through savings Industrial building (120k sq ft – built in 1978) Replace aging equipment & addition of solar paid through savings 70 year old resort with deferred maintenance and not able to meet capex demands. PACE is 50% of total improvement budget of $15m. Non-recourse to owner Long term low cost capital New Construction: Grocery Store $1.5m of low cost equity to boost ROI of the owners.
