Sound Financial Structure: Fitch Ratings’ cash flow modeling demonstrates that state revolving fund (SRF) program’s pledged resources are sufficient to withstand hypothetical pool defaults in excess of Fitch’s ‘AAA’ liability rating stress hurdle, as produced using its Portfolio Stress Model (PSM).

In addition, reserves under the prior indenture protect related bondholders from losses on a senior lien basis, and are available to all bondholders on a subordinated basis.
