2. Introduction: Capodian LLC (CIM)
WHY?
There is an extreme lack of liquidity in the U.S. E&P market, specifically in the “small independent operator” sector.
In the U.S., this sector has traditionally been overlooked. Many have started their investment activity here but swiftly moved ‘up-market’ due to
ample capital and the desire to gain mass and do larger transactions. What they neglected was the fact that because it is an underserved space,
returns were higher and easier to achieve. Recent events have exasperated the situation and present an excellent opportunity to provide capital to
the small, independent North American oil and gas producer.
A majority of small ‘exploration and production’ companies “micro E&P’s” are “one-company”-“one-project” concerns and once a project is harvested
the opportunity exists to fund the next. Capodian targets this micro E&P sector and encourages serial develop and harvest strategies. Capodian
has identified several specific oil and gas investment opportunities, it generally expects to invest in the following types of companies:
Small producers who have not had the experience working in the realm of institutional capital markets; Projects that offer drilling potential that is
conventional, and in known producing basins; Companies that focus within their geological, geographic or functional expertise; Companies that can
create additional value through exploitation of acquired properties, re-completions, and drilling of development wells using updated stimulation and
completion technology; and Companies with management possessing strong technical and operational backgrounds.
As oil and gas assets are depleting by nature, larger private and public E&P companies have a constant need to replace reserves through either
acquisition or drilling. As a result, successful projects of micro E&P’s are frequently sold up the chain to these larger players. The greatest challenge
for micro E&P’s is attaining the capital required to realize their full asset value and to create sufficient cash flow to make them candidates for
acquisition or more traditional funding, such as bank debt.
The relationships Capodian managers have developed will afford them the opportunity to assist these companies in moving to the “next level” and
thus can expect higher returns. Capodian will particularly target areas of personal familiarity where their experience can have the greatest impact on
the project.

Introduction: Capodian LLC (CIM)
WHY NOW?
Domestic Upstream E&P Sector: Fundamentals
The U.S. domestic E&P sector will provide attractive investment opportunities as a result of a variety of factors. Domestic oil and gas consumption in
the US is relatively stable, and in the long term expected to grow annually through 2025 resulting in strong fundamental demand. The domestic E&P
business is a mature industry characterized by a declining rate of production from existing properties, more rapidly declining reserves, and increasing
marginal costs to find and produce oil and gas, driving the need for additional capital.
Clearly, commodity prices have taken a tumble from the highs achieved in early September 2008. This is an excellent time to begin investing in this
sector. In a February report, 1,104 rigs were drilling for natural gas - down 502 rigs from the mid September 1,606 record high. That’s a 30% decline
in ‘new production’ which will be delayed and put upward pressure on prices.
Further, the 2008/2009 winter was not particularly harsh. Yes, parts of the country were cold, but the south has had a milder than normal winter. With
overall production now in a downtrend any ‘normal’ weather will again change the consensus view of prices. The fact of the matter is that keeping up
with demand in times of normal winter, and summer weather is difficult and the current price a consensus reaction to a mild fall.
It is expected that a gas price rally will resume from the lows of this price drop assisted by a good, while not great, winter demand season, low
expectations which will create a market shift to a higher view and increased obstacles to production growth (Increased taxes on the industry and areas
closed to exploration.) A key factor is that overall gas demand is trending up – but it is difficult to extract that factor due to the lack of a truly cold winter.
Our peak production occurred in July 2008 at just under 58 Bcf per day. Consider the fact that in February 2007 average monthly demand was over
90 Bcf. In that month, which we can assume was the most strenuous on storage withdrawals, approximately 16 Bcf was able to be drawn from
storage. Not only is the supply/demand relationship tight, but also the ability to draw stored reserves.

WHY NOW?
Finally, in evaluating the last four major cycles as shown below, there is further historical cause for anticipating a rebound in
prices. The time from market trough to trough has ranged from 56 months to 37 months while we are currently in month 29 from the last
trough. However, if we measure the time from the previous peak to its ensuing trough we find that it has steadily gotten shorter from 24
months to 13 months to 11 months. We are 12 months from the June 2008 peak and indications are that the market recovery from
downturns is shorter, most likely due to the supply constraints inherent in the U.S. Energy markets ability to produce sustainable long-lived
reserves.

Process: Sourcing
Target Companies
Capodian will target small producers who are generally "unsophisticated" in the realm
of institutional capital markets;
Companies that acquire and develop oil and gas wells within their geological,
geographic or functional expertise;
Companies that can create additional value through exploitation of acquired properties,
re-completions, and drilling of development wells using updated stimulation and
completion technology; and
Companies with management possessing strong technical and operational
backgrounds.
The relationships Capodian managers have developed will afford them the opportunity
to assist these companies in moving to the “next level” and thus can expect higher
returns.
Capodian managers will particularly target areas of personal familiarity where their
experience can have the greatest impact on the project.
16 CAPODIAN LLC

9. Process: Sourcing
Competition
Competition for these transactions will come from industry partners doing traditional
working-interest (“third for a quarter”) transactions and disparate small private equity
sources, often individuals. Our proposed structure will be attractive to producers when
compared to these options because:
The company retains a larger share of eventual proceeds,
Capodian will have the ability to rapidly fund follow-on transactions,
Capodian will provide an independent verification of the project without the threat of
losing the project to a competitor.
Availability
These types of transactions are plentiful in today’s market. The Capodian Managers
currently operate in this segment and have identified transactions which meet the criteria.
In the US market, Private Investing largely targets transactions requiring commitments in
excess of $50 Million.
We anticipate a robust market for the Capodian investment strategy in the current
commodity environment where developing reserves is the most likely avenue for companies
of this size.

16. Management: Investor Commitments
Tax and Withdrawal Considerations
Tax Considerations: The Investments will most likely be treated as Equity in a
Limited Liability Corporation for federal income tax purposes and each Investor will
be taxable on its share of income, regardless of the amount of distributions to the
Investors. Tax implications resulting from Investments in the fund may be different
for specific investors and as such should be reviewed by each prospective investor
and its investment, tax or other advisors, accountants, and legal counsel.
Withdrawals and Transfers: Interests in Investments will not be assignable or
transferable without the prior written consent of the Manager. Further, an Investor
may not withdraw any amount from the Investment except as those amounts
agreed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the transaction.
31 CAPODIAN LLC
Management: Manager’s Fees and Expenses
Managers Compensation: Management Fee
Structure Fee of 1.0% to 2.0% of funds committed, paid as drawn.
Management Fees of 1.0% to 3.0% of revenue generated during the life of the
Investment.
Annual Engineering Fee of 0.25% of Invested Amount, but not less than $20,000
per year charged to company.
From the Management Fee, the manager will pay all ordinary operating expenses
of the Manager in connection with the Fund's investments.
The Management Fee will commence as of the date of the initial closing based on
total The Manager may elect, at its sole discretion, to reduce and/or return any
amount of the management fee it deems appropriate at any time.
Managers Compensation: Incentive Fee
Manager to receive Incentive Fees based on performance (discussed later.)
32 CAPODIAN LLC

17. Management: Manager’s Fees and Expenses
Organizational Start-Up Expenses:
The Investors will pay to the Manager's up to $500,000 for activities in establishing
Base Documents, securing office space and initiate the acivitiy of the Management
Company. These expenses will include legal, tax consulting and related activity
specific to the establishment of Capodian LLC and Preferred Equity and Mezzanine
Base Documents. One-Half of the final amount paid will be credited back to the
investors against the Manager’s Structure Fee’s over the course of the first year of
operation. If organizational expenses exceed $500,000, the Manager will pay all
amounts in excess of $500,000.
Extraordinary:
From the Management Fee(s), the Manager will pay all legal expenses to protect
the Fund's investments unless, however, any proceeding or proceedings involving
a single Portfolio Investment is estimated to cost an amount greater than 15% of
the Investment’s annual Management Fee. In such a case the Manager may elect
to charge the Company (and expect Funding of) an ‘extraordinary legal fee’ in an
amount equal to the difference in 15% of the Management Fee and actual
applicable legal charges.
33 CAPODIAN LLC
Management: Fees and Expenses
Incentive Fee
The Manager will receive an “Incentive Fee” based on the performance of each Investment.
The Incentive Fee will be calculated as follows:
The Incentive Fee is 0% on an annualized Fund Return of 15% or less,
The Incentive Fee is 3% of the nominal cash value of an annualized investment Return in excess of
15.0%, up to 24.9%,
The Incentive Fee is 5% of the nominal cash value of a Fund Return greater than 25.0% up to 36.9%,
The Incentive Fee is 8% of the nominal cash value of a Fund Return greater than 37.0%,
For illustration purposes we outline the incentive payment reaching the 24% threshold amount,
and reaching a 57% return Incentive Fee will be calculated as follows: (see next slide)
