RATINGS RATIONALE
Moody's rating of the Bonds addresses the ultimate cash receipt
of all required interest and principal payments, as provided by
the Bonds' governing documents, and is based on the expected
loss posed to Bondholders, relative to the promise of receiving
the present value of such payments.
The Issuer is a corporation formed under the Georgia Nonprofit Corporation
Code. The Bonds issued by the Issuer are used in furtherance of
the Issuer's purpose which is to, among other things,
purchase loans from the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority and then
issue bonds backed by those loans.
The Bonds are backed by loans issued to the Cobb County-Marietta
Water Authority. Moody's analyzed the credit quality of the
underlying loans and used the conclusions in its analysis. They
are not secured by a lien on Cobb County-Marietta's revenues,
which have been pledged on a first priority basis to the payment of the
Cobb-County Marietta senior lien revenue bonds. However,
any change in the credit quality of Cobb County-Marietta would
likely effect the credit view on the loans.
Moody's rating of the Bonds is based on the credit quality of the
underlying loans. Moody's also considered the structural
and legal aspects of the transaction in arriving at its rating.
The principal methodology used in this rating was "Moody's Approach
to Rating Repackaged Securities" published in April 2010.
In addition, Moody's publishes a weekly summary of structured finance
credit, ratings and methodologies, available to all registered
users of our website, at www.moodys.com/SFQuickCheck.
Moody's Investors Service did not receive or take into account a
third party due diligence report on the underlying assets or financial
instruments in this transaction.
