OVERVIEW
GLOCKWORK
capital fund
Clockwork Capital Fund LP provides investors with an opportunity to participate in a
sophisticated high yield, high quality asset class with stable returns.
The fund's strategy is to make investments in prepayment advances on funded settlements. The
initial focus will be on settlements typically involving plaintiffs who have reached financial settle-
ment agreements on legal action related to labor, employment, accident, malpractice and tort.
The fund is managed by Clockwork Capital Advisors, LLC. Clockwork Capital has substantial
experience and resources and has developed formal relationships with other Tier 1 third party
providers to access proprietary deal flow and enhance the risk management and oversight of the
program.
The fund will target investor returns of 13.8%-18% supported by contractual rights to cash
flow from confidential cash settlements that are escrowed and dispersed by the plaintiff's
attorney's escrow bank and monitored by Tier 1 agents and auditors, with additional over-
sight by an independent 3rd party auditor.
Over time, the fund will offer investors the opportunity to enhance their investment in the
underlying assets through the use of leverage.

THE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY
GLOCKWORK
capital fund
Hundreds of claims and lawsuits are filed annually in matters related to sexual harass-
ment, wrongful termination and discrimination.
One of our industry partners executed on over $750 million of these such funded
settlements in 2008.
The defendants tend to be highly sensitive to publicity surrounding these claims and,
as a result, private settlements are negotiated outside of the courtroom intended to
maintain privacy for the parties involved.
Confidentiality is a core element of the settlements between plaintiffs and the
defendants. Many defendants mandate that settlements be paid over a period of
time - 10to 24 months — so that emotions stabilize, perhaps lessening the potential
for plaintiff lapses under confidentiality agreements.
Clockwork Capital has current commitment of $75 million to $100 million of confi-
dential settlements per month from initial strategic originator, and has identified five
other opportunities that would ehance source of return.
Average settelment initially sourced by Clockwork Capital is $4 million.

THE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY
GLOCKWORK
capital fund
Many defendants would prefer to receive a simple cash settlement... Why?
Given the emotional trauma often associated with these proceedings and
pressing financial needs, many plaintiffs desire to put this experience be-
hind them as soon as possible.
Often, plaintiffs are economically challenged as a result of the litigation
and are in need of liquidity.
Clockwork solves the need of the plaintiff by purchasing the rights to the confidential
settlement cash flows, thus providing the plaintiff with immediate liquidity.

There is little public information available to quantify the size or key players in the
confidential settlements market. For example, in the sexual harassment and discrimi-
nation space, thousands of settlements have been reached but information about
these settlements is difficult to access given the highly confidential nature of the
settlements.
Clockwork believes the market is predominantly comprised of small-medium sized
operators.
Firms known to participate in the personal injury, workers compensation and liability
space include Oasis Legal Finance, Magnolia Legal, Lawcash, Peachtree Pre-Settlement
funding, and J.G. Wentworth
