CLOCKWORK CAPITAL FUND HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 2 EFTA00683162 TABLE OF CONTENTS OLOCKWORK capital fund OVERVIEW THE FIRM THE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY THE INVESTMENT STRATEGY THE INVESTMENT PROCESS COMPETITION RISK MANAGEMENT AND TRANSPARENCY SUMMARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS CLOCKWORK CAPITAL FUND EFTA00683163 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.

CLOCKWORK CAPITAL FUND HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 5 EFTA00683165 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. CLOCKWORK CAPITAL FUND HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 6 EFTA00683166 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. CLOCKWORK CAPITAL FUND HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 7 EFTA00683167 THE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY GLOCKWORK capital fund Confidential settlement opportunities are introduced to Clockwork through proprietary relationships with leading firms who specialize in this area. Clockwork purchases the rights to the settlement cash flows Cash flows are deposited in a custodial account with a control agreement, for the benefit of the plaintiff. Buyout price will be at a material discount from the face value of the settlement Plantiff and Clockwork enter into another confidentiality agreement further protecting parties from a breach of confidentiality. Clockwork collects the settlement cash flows from the IOTA trust account (or similar trust structure) and distributes income to investors and re-investing when appropriate.

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 CLOCKWORK CAPITAL FUND HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 14 EFTA00683174 RISK MANAGEMENT CLOCKWORK capital fund The fund will incur no indebtedness or leverage in relation to the purchase of settle- ments or for general business purposes. However, Clockwork may develop a lever- aged vehicle for investors at a later date based on client demand. Limited Partners shall have transparency into the Funds activities. Limited Partners shall have on-line access to banking records for the fund's deposit account and all system records related to the purchased settlements. Limited Partners will also be able to verify purchase settlement trust accounts and deposits thereto by Defendants through an independent 3rd party. The fund management team includes professionals with a long history of developing and implementing risk management systems in complex asset management environ- ments.
