and minimize risks associated with their debt programs.
While
many issuers have traditionally relied on their bankers and financial advisors to assist in these matters, it is the growing
complexity of these services coupled with the rapid consolidation of the services industry in this space that is
driving clients to consider Orchard Street Partners for assistance . . Our current offerings include: Administrative Services Advisory The operating environment within the finance department
of an active municipal authority or agency has become increasingly complex. We offer clients the opportunity to explore
"industry best practice" methodologies without the high pressured sales environment they have to endure in
a self managed vendor selection process. Orchard

for the management of their financing programs. These services include the development of optimal reporting and connectivity

with new financings, Orchard Street Partners offers our clients and their advisors the ability to draw on our experience and
our resources to assist in assessing the many logistical services associated with a new securities program; services
that are increasingly more complex and too often given secondary levels of attention. Assisting in areas including deal documentation coordination, identifying specialized technologies to support

picks up where the financial advisor, bond counsel and your own staff can leave off. Whether you use us

Evaluation Program Although many issuers are familiar with the process associated with selecting a trustee, custodian or
other agent to support a new financing or their treasury operation, the recent and continued consolidation in the banking industry
is creating uncertainty for many issuers as they struggle with both service quality and the basic knowledge of who is
left to provide these services and, more importantly, who is qualified to perform the service requirements for their
programs. Our unique program allows issuers
to ensure that the service levels for their existing programs are meeting contractual parameters and that their trustee, custodian or
agent has both the capabilities and the strategic commitment to continue to support their programs into the future. We
also ensure that the economics for each of these services are appropriate and in market.
