Rating Action:

Moody's publishes ratings and history of notes issued by four CAPCOs

25 Mar 2011

New York, March 25, 2011 -- Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") announced today that it has taken action on, and published the ratings of, the following debt tranches issued by four certified capital companies, commonly referred to as "CAPCOs":

Issuer: Advantage Capital Alabama Partners I, L.P.

US$ 8,169,154.35 Guaranteed Notes due 2019; upgraded to Aaa, previously on November 12, 2009 confirmed at Aa3

Issuer: Texas ACP I, L.P.

US$ 9,753,684 Guaranteed Notes due 2020; upgraded to Aaa, previously on November 12, 2009 confirmed at Aa3

Issuer: Advantage Capital D.C. Partners I, L.LC.

US$ 2,928,997 Guaranteed Notes, Series A, due 2020; upgraded to Aaa, previously on November 12, 2009 confirmed at Aa3

US$ 3,874,428 Guaranteed Notes, Series B, due 2019; upgraded to Aaa, previously on November 12, 2009 confirmed at Aa3

Issuer: Advantage Capital Partners XI, Limited Partnership

US$ 4,313,115 Guaranteed Notes due 2017; upgraded to Aaa, previously on November 12, 2009 confirmed at Aa3

US$ 3,981,455 Guaranteed Notes, Series B, due 2018; upgraded to Aaa, previously on November 12, 2009 confirmed at Aa3

RATINGS RATIONALE

Moody's ratings of these CAPCO debt issuances had inadvertently not been previously published on moodys.com. All four of the transactions are wrapped by Assured Guaranty Municipal Corporation, previously Financial Security Assurance, Inc. ("FSA"). Moody's initial ratings of these transactions passed through the Aaa rating of FSA, which was current at the time of each transaction's issuance.

FSA's rating was placed on watch for possible downgrade on July 21, 2008 and the notes for all four transactions were similarly placed on watch for possible downgrade at that time. With FSA's downgrade to Aa3 on November 21, 2008, Moody's downgraded the ratings on the notes for the four transactions to Aa3. All of the notes were placed on watch for possible downgrade again on May 20, 2009 when FSA's rating was similarly put on watch. Moody's confirmed the Aa3 insurance financial strength rating of Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp., as the successor to FSA, on November 12, 2009 and thus also confirmed the ratings on all the notes at that time.

Underlying ratings based on the credit quality of these debt issuances (absent consideration of the financial guaranty) for all four of these CAPCO transactions have also not been previously published. Moody's said the rating actions today reflect the implementation to the underlying ratings of the methodology described in "Moody's Methodology for Rating Debt Issuances of Certified Capital Companies" (the "Updated CAPCO Methodology"), by which Moody's provides ratings on CAPCO debt issuances independent of credit support provided by third parties, such as financial guarantors. As a result, Moody's is assigning the underlying ratings noted in these ratings actions. Consistent with Moody's policy for securities wrapped by a financial guarantor of publishing the higher of the guarantor's rating and the current underlying rating, the underlying rating will now be the published rating.

Under the Updated CAPCO Methodology, the rating actions reflect that all four transactions have met their final statutory investment benchmarks for making investments in businesses which qualify for the allocation of premium tax credits under each of their applicable CAPCO statutes. As a result, the tax credits allocated to each CAPCO under its respective statute are beyond forfeiture and recapture. Each CAPCO's remaining obligations to make payments in cash, if any, are supported by the CAPCO's assets.

The ratings history for each of the note issuances in these transactions is as follows:

Issuer and Notes: Advantage Capital Alabama Partners I, L.P., US$ 8,169,154.35 Guaranteed Notes due 2019

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Moody's Methodology for Rating Debt Issuances of Certified Capital Companies published in August 2009.

Other methodologies and factors that may have been considered in the process of rating these issues can also be found in the Credit Policy & Methodologies directory. Further information on Moody's analysis of this transaction is available on www.moodys.com. 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 will continue monitoring these ratings. Any change in the ratings will be publicly disseminated by Moody's through appropriate media.
