Fifth Asset, Inc. d/b/a DebtBook
DebtBook was founded in early 2019 after spending years helping government and non-profit finance teams solve complex financing
problems.
We know that the decisions made by finance teams have a tremendous impact on our lives: tax increases or decreases, enrollment
costs, affordability and availability of quality healthcare and housing, construction of parks, schools, roads and critical water
infrastructure, and the overall solvency of their organizations.
Given the impact these professionals make on our lives, how is it that little to no innovation has occurred around the tools available to
help do the job. We wanted to make sure at least one technology company was focused on empowering these professionals with
better software.
With the support of many governments and non -profits right here in North Carolina, Tyler formed the company in early 2019. He was
quickly joined by Erik Pelletier as a co-founder, having spent a career developing technology products, most recently as the Chief
Digital Officer and VP of Product at MIT. Marty Feinstein joined to provide our team with the finance specific programming expertise
required after spending 30+ years in public finance, most recently as the Head of the Finance Structuring Group at Citigroup. Then
Josh Kohn joined to run Client Operations after a career with the Army Rangers and JP Morgan.
In October of 2019 DebtBook closed its seed round of financing, led by influential investors Meeting Street Capital and the 2040 Fund
and launched the debt management platform in February of 2020. Given the tremendous demand for the product, DebtBook raised an
additional -$2 million from investors in late August of 2020 and early March of 2021 to accelerate our investment in the product.
At DebtBook, we're on a mission to make great debt and lease management easy. We have the team, expertise, financial
backing and customer buy -in to make that happen.

Who is your competition in the marketplace?

(Debt & Lease Managenignt in. One App icatio ; - DebtBook is proud to say that it has built an application that can beat the best
application in Debt Management a well a the be t application in Lea a Management However, with DebtBook being the only
organization able to offer both Debt AND Lease Management... DebtBook's solution is unmatched in the market.
• Debt Management - DebtBook started as a Debt Management solution that was built by industry professionals for industry
professionals. In other words, DebtBook's founding team took its experience in working with municipal and non-profit clients
and combined it with ongoing client conversations to build a solution that eliminates errors while streamlining efficiencies.
Whether a client is interested in seeing their Debt split by Type, Fund, Purpose, or Project or creating Year End Reporting
Notes that meet GFOA Certificate of Achievement in Financial Reporting standards... DebtBook has created a solution that
can do it all.

municipalities and non -profits manage their leases. While GASB 87 is focused on the reclassification of Operating and Capital

�&hite 01gveO boar i g - If we are not removing headaches we are doing something wrong. We are continually hearing from our
clients how easy we have made the onboarding experience. Specifically, we take a process that many organizations have been
hesitant to address (loading Debt and Leases into an application) and we do 90% of the work. The only ask of the local governments,
school districts, higher education, and non -profits is going to be answering questions that a particular lease can't answer and
confirming the details DebtBook has loaded into the application. This White Glove onboarding experience has truly become a
differentiator for DebtBook.
Sharing of Information - One of the benefits of a cloud hosted environment is that it can be accessed from anywhere. Whether staff is
attending a City Council meeting or working from home... all of the information they need is available. Additionally, DebtBook
understands the wide variety of individuals that are involved with the day to day operations including accountants, lawyers, financial
advisors, and more. DebtBook's application encourages sharing access and maintaining a level of control over the information and
data available. The local governments, school districts, higher education, and non -profits will maintain full control of their data through
the use of role based access controls which will allow the local governments, school districts, higher education, and non -profits to
assign read-only access to particular individuals and "Admin" access to other individuals.
Flexible Solution - DebtBook understands that the needs of a University with an enrollment of 5,000 and a finance department of two
people is vastly different than the needs of a City with a population of multiple millions and a finance department staffed by 50 people.
As such, DebtBook has build a solution that meets the needs of organizations of all sizes. This can be seen in DebtBook functionality
that on the surface may seem subtle but has a profound impact at the time of need. For example, on each page of DebtBook's
application, staff members are able to export all of the details into a pre -formatted Excel spreadsheet. If a manager or City Council
member were to ask about very specific leases, this functionality allows City staff to aggregate the leases and provide a report in
minutes without sacrificing on details such as the forward looking lease schedules, deferred inflow of resources, underlying asset,
lease asset, and more. This example of time savings serves both small and large municipalities alike.
Describe how your company I market
We are committed to ensuring the market is aware of this procurement and the resulting selection. As such, we have proposed two
method for informing the market about the award but we would love the opportunity to engage with NCPA on additional method for
distributing awareness. Whether this is a message distributed directly from NCPA or another successful method of distribution... we
are willing to di cu anything
Web ite o t Upon receiving an award from NCPA we will publi h a po t on our web ite that peak to NCPA' election of
DebtBook. This post will link to NCPA's website and the underlying procurement that took place. The intent of this post is to inform

team i having conver ation on a daily ba i with municipalitie and procurement department and will be able to reference NCPA a
a contracting mechanism at the appropriate time to the appropriate individuals.
Describe how you intend to introduce NCPA to your company.
Upon receiving an award there are three divisions of the organization that will need to be informed and trained on NCPA and how the
award benefits our organization. Each of these groups have been highlighted below:
Sales - The sales team is the most critical group that we need to inform of the award. As such, an hour long training will be held in
which the team will be trained on the process that took place, what the award means, and how to communicate the award. DebtBook's
Vice President of Sales has extensive experience working with NCPA and will be the individual leading all of the internal trainings.
Docusign Envelope ID: 9578C15B-07BE-4D8D-AB6B-FA4FDCB97AE0
Agreement No. 7267
Client. O,pe - While Client Operations is not in the market actively seeking new contracts they are responsible for contract
renewals. Therefore, this group needs to be aware of all contracting mechanisms including NCPA. In order to make them aware we
will complete an hour long training to provide guidance on the process that took place, what the award means, and how the award can
be communicated. Similar to the Sales training, this training will be led by the Vice President of Sales who has extensive experience
working with NCPA.
Legal - Finally, it will be important that the legal team is aware of this contract award and how we can incorporate the award into our
standard documentation. A similar training as Sales and Client Operations will be completed with less of a focus on external
messaging and more focused on documentation and processes.

Allocation & Tracking of Obligations
In the top right of the DebtBook application users will see three quick access buttons that allow for information to be filtered based on
TYPE, FUND, and PURPOSE. Should there be a desire for a 4th filter DebtBook can add an additional filter which has frequently be
used to filter by Project or Department. Below is a brief summary of these filters.
TVpe Fund
• This represents the credit type of a given obligation - This represents the funding source of a given obligation
Each obligation has only one Type • Each obligation has at least one allocation, but can have

4th 012tion, - We have found that the wants and needs of local
government, school districts, higher education, and non -profits
can vary quite significantly. Therefore, we have a flexible fourth
option for organizing information. This fourth option will be
determined throughout the onboarding process.
Additionally, DebtBook is able to show splits which highlight the
individual allocations of particular obligations. For example, a
2017 General Obligation bond may be split across four different
funds, six different purposes, and 26 different projects. By
simply hovering over the individual 2017 GO Bond further
definition tied to the various splits will be shown (similar to the
image on the left) such as the Outstanding Par amount and the
percentage of the split. If the staff is interested in seeing more
details they can simply click the "View Summary" button within
the pop-up or they can select TYPE, FUND, PURPOSE,
PROJECT from the quick access buttons in the upper righthand
corner of the screen (as shown within the Excel Exports section
below).

Excel Exports
Within almost every page of DebtBook's application users have
the ability to select the blue "Export Data" button (as shown in
the image to the right). Upon selecting "Export Data" the
information on the screen will automatically be exported into a
pre -formatted Excel spreadsheet featuring the filters and
numbers that are shown within the DebtBook application. In
addition to the export being pre -formatted, the numbers will also
be hardcoded and correct down the penny.
Sharing of Access
DebtBook does not charge a per seat license as a means of
encouraging the local governments, school districts, higher
education, and non -profits to invite anyone they believe may
benefit from having access to the DebtBook application. This
has historically been Financial Advisors, Accountants, Lawyers,
Auditors, City Council Members, and many others. Using the
"Manage Members" selection from the account settings our
client's staff will have the ability to add and remove users as it
sees fit. Adding a user is as simple as including their First
Name, Last Name, Email Address, Title, and selecting the
permission level the individual should be granted.
Role -based Access Control
DebtBook operates using three different role -based access
controls. Below is a brief summary of these role -based access
controls.
Admin - Users can make all modifications in DebtBook
including Add and Remove other u er , update payment
reporting and update series descriptions and notes.
• Member- Users can update payment reporting and
update series descriptions and notes but are not able to
add or remove other users.
• Viewer U er have "read only" acce , meaning that
they can see and download data but cannot change
anything in your profile that would impact another u er'
experience.

Within the DebtBook application there are numerous ways to track key dates including on an individual issue basis or on a more
aggregate level. Key dates DebtBook recommends including within the application include Arbitrage Reports, Call Dates, Continuing
Disclosures, and Payment Dates. However, DebtBook has the ability to configure the information being tracked with any unique
configurations to ensure any unique aspects of the local governments, school districts, higher education, and non-profits's environment
accounted for. The below images show the collapsed Milestones functionality and the expanded Milestones functionality. Within the
expanded Milestones functionality, staff will be able to see the quantity of obligations that require action as well as being able to select
into the summary to be taken to the exact details associated with the reminder.

If there is interest in viewing particular Milestones in the future or in the past individuals have the ability to navigate forward or
backward using the navigational buttons in the upper right and upper left of the feature. Additionally, if staff is interested in seeing key
dates in more of a table format, DebtBook has summarized upcoming Milestones directly below the calendar summary (pictured
above) in a table format organized in chronological order.
Finally, local governments, school districts, higher education, non -profits and supplemental staff have the ability to set individual
custom reminders based on the activities they are interested in. For example, if one individual is specifically focused on payments they
can elect to only receive email reminders for the payment date notices. However, if someone is interested in being reminded of all
activities they can select to receive the email reminders for each and. every notice.
Exportable Year End Audit Notes
DebtBook's application is organized in such a way that it allows
staff to generate detailed notes for the Long -Term Debt or
Leases portion of the local governments, school districts, higher
education, and non-profits's financial statements automatically
from the debt profile in preparation for year end financial
reporting. Most importantly, the reporting export meets the
GFOA Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting Standards.
Comprehensive User Guides
If any user of the application has a question about a particular
feature they can immediately access the DebtBook Support
Center via the chat functionality in the bottom right corner of the
screen. This chat functionality features a search bar or the
ability to chat directly with DebtBook staff. Responses to the
searches completed via the search bar feature in depth User
Guides with video snippets and step by step instructions on how
to use a particular feature.
At any point our client's staff can reach out to its dedicated Client
Operations Manager for additional clarification.

Individual & Aggregate Obligation Reporting
At its simplest form DebtBook is breaking down the details associated with individual obligations and providing them in an easily
digestible format. Then DebtBook layered on the ability to aggregate the individual obligations and view them based on their individual
allocations between Type, Fund, Purpose, and Project. On top of both the individual and aggregate reporting DebtBook then added
additional functionality such as the sharing of access, email notifications, and more.

DebtBook has taken deliberate steps to ensure the application it has created allows for local governments, school districts, higher
education, and non -profits not only meet GFOA Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting standards but also
meet the newly created GASB 87 standard. These steps have been highlighted below.
External Auditors
Throughout the creation of DebtBook's application, DebtBook has been working with three external accounting firms to receive
guidance on the GASB 87 standard and the various nuances associated with ensuring compliance. This iterative process with multiple
third parties was designed to ensure the outcomes of DebtBook's application meet the GASB 87 standard while also minimizing the
chance of errors throughout the input process.
Logic Based Decision Trees
One of the largest tasks associated with becoming compliant with the GASB 87 standard is the interpretation of various lease aspects
and their applicability to the GASB 87 standard. Therefore, DebtBook has created a logic based decision tree to be used throughout
the lease input process as a means of minimizing the chance of errors throughout the input process. Rather than providing our clients
with a bunch of blank field to be entered DebtBook provides a dynamic application that minimizes free -entry forms and removes
irrelevant fields based on previous entries.
Please note that the initial entry of lease details into the application will be completed by the DebtBook onboarding team. The above
description is relevant to our clients should they have supplemental leases they would like to add to the application.
Highlighted Leases
Everything DebtBook does is designed to increase transparency and provide clarity. Therefore, with each lease that is loaded into the
application, DebtBook will highlight the lease with key details such as payment dates, purchase options, underlying assets, and more
so our clients can quickly and easily find the underlying information that was pulled from the lease and loaded into the application. The
markups on the underlying lease will not only help DebtBook's clients but also the supporting staff working with the clients including
accountants/auditors.

DebtBook is staffed by industry professionals including Certified Financial Advisors, Accountants, Modeling Experts, and others. The
experience of these individuals in addition to the three outside accounting firms DebtBook works with (mentioned above) ensure all
reporting and exports are accurate to the penny and meet the applicable laws and standards.
In fact, in about 80% of DebtBook's implementations DebtBook has been able to identify an error in the documentation provided by our
clients.
Onboarding/Implementation Process
One of the large t challenge a ociated with becoming GASB 87 compliant i tied to the data analy i and entry that will eventually
be aggregated in the form of a year end financial report. Therefore, DebtBook wanted to take a little additional time expanding upon its
implementation proce and everything it doe to en ure a mooth and painle implementation The below quote highlight ome of
the commentary DebtBook has received specific to its implementation process.
Step & Re pon ibilitie During Implementalion The DebtBook onboarding proce take place via 4 primary tep
1. DebtBook will pull all public information related to debt from Emma.com and begin the process of entering the information into
the application
2. As this happen, DebtBook will as the local governments, school districts, higher education, and non -profits to load all
additional information including plit and all relevant lea a into a Box com link
3. Once the debt information is ready to be viewed DebtBook will present the profile to the local governments, school districts,
higher education, and non profit for final approval
4. While the work is being finalized on the debt obligations DebtBook's internal team will also be digging through each of the
lea a and aggregating all the information relevant to the GASB 87 tandard Thi information include detail uch a
termination clauses, purchase options, residual value, end dates, and more.
5 DebtBook will then load the relevant information into the application All lea a will be initially uploaded within in an
"unverified".
6 DebtBook will ho t weekly call with the local government , chool di trict , higher education, and non profit to confirm the
work completed by DebtBook and change the status from "unverified" to "verified"
7 Once all the uploaded information ha been verified the application i ready for u e!
On average, the review and confirmation proce will take approximately 5 hour of call time for the Debt Implementation in addition to
approximately 5 hours of call time for the Lease Implementation and can be completed in as short or as long of a timeframe as the
local government , chool di trict , higher education, and non profit would like Call time will take place via video conferencing with 0
on -site time required.

Implementation Timeline - DebtBook's Client Operations Team ("Client Ops") will lead
the ocal governments, school districts, higher education, and non -profits through the
implementation process. We do not rely on any external business partners for
implementation however the local governments, school districts, higher education, and
4 aw [per Week
non -profits are welcome to invite any external professionals (Accountant, Municipal
Advisor, Lawyer) it believes would like to be included in onboarding.
The Client Ops team will host one (1) 45 minute call a week for approximately 4-5
4 im 5
weeks for Debt Implementation and (1) 45 minute call a week for 5-6 weeks for Lease
Implementation. After implementation Client Ops is always available through Intercom,
Weeks (Approx. Cnboa a ing l ionre)
Support@DebtBook.com, and your assigned Client Ops Manager. Additionally, the
DebtBook support center is available 24/7 with articles designed to help you get the
most out of the DebtBook platform.
Continued Training - DebtBook provides a variety of training throughout the implementation process including personalize training from
the client's dedicated Client Operation Manager. Beyond implementation, DebtBook offers self service instructional videos and
descriptions natively within the application. Finally, at any time during the client's contract with DebtBook, the client will have the direct
phone number and email of the client's dedicated Client Operations Representative to ask questions and/or request further training.
Adding Additional Leases, - The lease onboarding experience is designed to
New Lease I assist the local governments, school districts, higher education, and non -profits
with the uploading and classifying of leases (based on GASB 87 standards).
However, DebtBook knows that a one-time upload of leases isn't sufficient for
the ongoing management of a client's leases. Therefore, DebtBook has added
self-service tooling that will enable staff to manage the implementation of
individual leases without the need for DebtBook's involvement.
_ � n
Furthermore, DebtBook' "New Lea e" functionality will walk tall through a logic ba ed deci ion tree that will reduce the likelihood of
mistakes being made during the future upload of leases. As users enter lease details they will be provided drop downs and new
information will appear or di appear depending on the original election made

One such hyperlink that appears within the release notes, or shortly after the release, is the specific functionality's User Guide. These
User Guides can be accessed via the application's Support Center/Chat Functionality and highlight a more comprehensive summary of
how the individual feature works and the intent behind making the feature available. The screenshot to the right is the User Guide for
the "Milestones" functionality that was highlighted in the Release Notes Email. The graphic at the bottom of the screenshot is a
moving gif which shows an individual interacting with the new functionality. Additionally, if the user were to scroll there would be
additional information including the ability to contact a support representative should there be any additional questions associated with
the new/updated feature.
Finally, DebtBook maintains recurring "Office Hours" which are predetermined times in which the Client Operations team briefly
highlights new features and/or common questions while also allowing time for questions and general conversation. These meetings
take place at two different times throughout each month and different dates and times to better enable busy schedules. We highly
encourage the local governments, school districts, higher education, and non -profits to consider attending these "Office Hours" as a
means of learning more about the application.
If the New Release Emails, User Guide, or Office Hours don't get the client the answer it is looking for the client can always reach out
to its dedicated Client Operations Representative to have a more personalized conversation. The client will have the direct phone
number and email of it's dedicated Client Operations Representative
