10 FlexEndowment Bond The FlexEndowment Campaign 9 Current Practice: Endowment “Campaigns” Typically a Disconnected Component of a Cash Campaign No Use of Structured Giving to finance Life Insurance Policies Narrow: Little Guy’s Left Out Individual Donor typically does not experience the fruit of his/her Gift. Improvement: The FlexEndowment Campaign Conducted Prior to or Simultaneous With a Capital Campaign Heavy Use of Structured Giving to fund Life Insurance. Broad: Everyone Can Participate Donor community experiences the Campaign commitments while alive. A FlexEndowment program can be built with parishioner/school supporters through the use of level-pay premium, whole-life insurance policies. If bonds are issued to pay premiums on the life policies, those bonds can become ideal “donor inventory” for charitable trusts that will benefit the parish/school through repayment of principal and/or interest on the bonds.

11 FlexEndowment Bonds Success Story: Cornerstone FlexEndowment 10 In 2010, Cornerstone Charitable Foundation (CCF) engaged Julius Capital to implement the FlexEndowment Program to support St. John the Baptist School (SJB) in Beloit, KS 142 Student Pre-K through High School Population 3,800 / School “System” Supported by Single Parish CCF had no Paid Personnel / No Donor Database / Virtually no annual fundraising As of 12/31/14 (Year 5), the CCF FlexEndowment consists of the following: $33.7 Million Death Benefit - 123 Policies (Avg. Insured Age 67) $8.85M - FlexEndowment Bonds Out (Most Recent Issue at 4.0% Fixed) $4.5 Million – Expected Grant Distributions over 31 years $17.2 Million - Expected Yr.31 Endowment (Bonds fully Repaid Yr.26) SJB on the verge of closing five years ago, now: 162 students 2014 - Raised over $900,000 / Over $350,000/year Projected thru Yr.31 2014/15 - 2 Time Defending Kansas State High School Scholars’ Bowl Champion 2014 HS Boys Basketball State Champion / 2014 HS Football #3 in State Looking to Expand Campus – Possible Site First “Marytown” Senior Living Facility

12 FlexEndowment Bonds How They Work –Interest Payments FlexEndowment Bonds Issued – Shelf Offerings (as needed). “Long” Balloon-Maturity, Interest-Only FlexEndowment Bonds (FE Bonds) are issued to finance life insurance premiums on “starting policy base.” The FlexEndowment Bonds are secured by the Policies and a Pledged Account which holds excess Bond Proceeds, pays permitted Campaign Expenses and receives all Policy Death Benefits, Donations and Estate Gifts. Interest Payments - Annual Giving/CLTs. Borrower pays FlexEndowment Bond interest, through (i) Annual Giving and (ii) the sale of newly issued FlexEndowment Bonds (from the shelf) into Charitable Lead Trusts (CLTs). Example: $100,000 25 Yr Bond @7.5% = $7,500/Yr of Interest In CLT, Donor donates the interest payments for a Term of Years (eg, 10 years), but the Donor receives the Bond back at CLT termination. Donation = $75,000 Shelf Bonds sold to CLTs with irrevocable “Bond interest donate-back” commitment can create “low-interest / interest-free” financing for a set period of years. 11

13 FlexEndowment Bonds How They Work – Principal Payments Principal Payments – Estate Giving/CRTs. Bond principal repaid through (i) Estate Gifts and (ii) the sale of FlexEndowment Bonds (from the shelf) to donors who establish a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT). In CRT, Donor receives bond interest payments for Life or a Term of Years (eg, 10 years), but donates the Bond back to Charity at that time. Charity can retire the Bond or retain as “donor inventory” to sell again to another Donor CRT or CLT Shelf Bonds sold to CRTs with irrevocable “Bond principal donate-back” commitment create “true interest-only” financing with no principal repayment obligation. Life Policy Death Benefits. Policy Death Benefits repay any remaining Bond principal not repaid through Estate Gifts/CRTs. For example, the CCF/SJB FlexEndowment currently holds $33.7 Million of gross Policy D.Benefit. The Pro Forma projects that $17.1 remains in the FlexEndowment after all FlexEndowment Bonds repaid. 12

14 National Conduit Bonds Advantages Versus “Own Issuer Setup” 13 National Conduit Issuer Bonds – Advantages Attractive Vs. Setting Up “Own Issuer”  Fast (120 Days vs. 1–2 Years)  Issuance/Facility Fees vs. Six Figure Setup Cost  Easy to “Test” 1 Transaction Specialized / Sophisticated  Shelf Offering Capability  Turnkey Canon & Civil Law Compliant  Private Bank Bonds & Public CUSIP Bond  Mortgage & FlexEndowment Bonds Attractive to Institutional Bond Purchasers  “Known” Issuer = Better Paper / Liquidity  Geographic & Asset Class Diversification  Structure Reduces Local Diocese Bankruptcy Risk The Future – Specialized National Issuers  Cornerstone Charitable Foundation (KS)  Religious Order School Networks / ACE? Note Assignment Note Pmts Conduit Issuer Borrower (Parish) Bond Trustee (Bond Expenses) Loan National Conduit Issuer Bonds Bondholders Real Estate Mortgage & Pledge Note Bond Proceeds Bond Pmts Public CUSIP Bonds Private Bank Bonds Guaranty (if needed) Insurance Diocese (or 3 rd Party) Securities

15 National Conduit Bonds – Putting It All Together Mortgage Bonds and FlexEndowment Bonds 14 Mortgage Bonds. Sts. Peter and Paul School (SPPS), a Catholic Elementary School in the Diocese of Lexington, recently refinanced $11.0 million in bank mortgage debt originally incurred to renovate its school facility. In the refinancing, Cornerstone Charitable Foundation served as Conduit Issuer to issue Private Bonds (X- Bonds), which were purchased by a single Bank. In a Campaign being implemented with Julius Capital, SPPS will sell A-Bonds (from the shelf) under the same Master Indenture, as donor inventory to fund charitable trusts to benefit SPPS. SPPS annual fundraising will pay the interest on the bonds The A-Bonds will ultimately be repaid with the proceeds of estate gifts and the proceeds from these charitable trusts The Mortgage Bonds (X/A) are secured by a Mortgage on the School and Guaranteed by the Diocese of Lexington. FlexEndowment Bonds. SPPS is now in the second year of its FlexEndowment program, modelled on the CCF/SJB FlexEndowment. By June 30, 2015, SPPS expects to have 50 in-force policies with a total death benefit of $12.5 million and annual premium expense of $250,000. SPPS is now in the final planning stages to issue FlexEndowment Bonds secured by the Policies. The FlexEndowment Bonds will be issued under the same Master Indenture as the SPPS Mortgage Bonds and have a 2 nd priority interest in the Mortgage.
