ASSURED GUARANTEE

Among the casualties of the subprime crisis were many of the financial giants
who provided insurance for the municipal bonds that help build and maintain
America's schools, bridges, and other public works.

As major players such as AMBAC and MBIA watched their credit rating plummet,
only one company had the financial strength to continue issuing new guarantees: Assured Guaranty.

In early 2010, as the dust began to settle, we were asked to help Assured Guaranty
reach out to institutional investors, municipal issuers, the international market,
and the retail financial community.

The advertising underscores Assured Guaranty's financial strength and continued
commitment, and has already begun to create positive word-of-mouth in the industry.
