instrument provider.

Part 3. The Capstone Project Funding Program in Action
A Project Illustration: Funding a €80 Million Euros Renewable Energy Solar Project
Mr. William DeMarches owns a profitable Renewable Energy consulting and development firm. He and his
firm have developed their tenth Solar Energy Project. They own five of the previously built projects with large
Joint Venture Partners and have sold five others, due to liquidity exit plans of the partners. He would like to build this
new project on his own and retain 100% of the equity in it, for a long term hold strategy, and not be forced by a
financial partner's demands to exit.

6. His firm has invested over 2M Euros to develop the project, including land options, engineering and permitting,
etc. he is looking for a finance structure for 100% of his total project needs of 80M Euros for the lowest equity
injection possible. He has looked at various structures but conventional and alternative sources require a
minimum of 20% equity from the sponsor before they even indicate interest. The only feasible alternative, a
private Bond structure, requires a minimum of 500,000 to 1M Euros to float and can take up to six months
to fund. He believes the latest offer he has received fits the need perfectly.
He has found a program that requires a minimum equity of €300,000 Euros. Beyond the initial deposit, it provides
100% of all costs associated with the funding. All costs can be rolled into the structure. By utilizing collateral that the
Bank can effectively secure the project with and lend against (a Bank Guarantee) the bank will go into over-drive to
underwrite the loan and close. Total time, if all goes well is approximately 8-10 weeks.
Bill has now applied and been accepted within days of submission. The other excellent features of this loan:
There are no fees to Apply/Equity required will reside in owner-designated escrow
No preliminary project development fees are paid until Term Sheet is accepted.
The interest rate is very competitive at 5-6%.
Reserves are created so that Loan is paid back in record time, William will own it 100% within 5 years.
This is the most cost-effective structure available today for low cost 100% equity.
