3
Canada’s oil sands
Canada has the third largest oil reserves in the world.
173 billion barrels
168 billion barrels are oil sands
Oil sands are mixture of sand, water, clay and bitumen.
Bitumen is oil that is too thick to be pumped without changing it’s viscosity (by heat or other means)
The deposits lie beneath 142,000 km2 of boreal forest.
Less than 5% of Canada’s boreal forest.
3% of the oil sands area is minable.
+
4
Environmental concerns
Land
Oil sands mining requires a large amount of land.
Linear disturbances from roads, pipelines and seismic exploration can fragment habitat.
Water
Both in situ and mining operations are water intensive processes.
Drawing fresh water from rivers can affect their flow rates.
Tailings
Left to settle naturally, tailings can take up to 30 years to fully separate.
The size of tailings ponds affects the rate at which the mine footprint can be reclaimed.
Greenhouse Gases (GHG)
Energy needs to extract the bitumen, along with emissions from mine vehicles is more carbon intensive than other forms of oil production.
+
5
Why was COSIA formed?

DEEP DECARBONIZATION CHALLENGE
How do we position ourselves to thrive in a low carbon future?
14
Economic Levers
• Direct regulation– Unintended consequences
– Market distortions ‐ assumes solutions exist today ‐just need to implement
• Market access/ social license– Irrational responses to legitimate concerns
– Subject to distortion by political agendas
• Cap and trade– Emissions impact certain / economics uncertain
– Administratively challenging
15
Economic Levers
• Carbon tax– Economics certain / emissions impact uncertain– Changes end‐user behaviour– Administratively efficient
• Emissions intensity levy– Economics certain / emissions impact uncertain– Potential to impact marginal emissions heavily without damaging economy
– Changes industry behaviour– Supports required innovation – develops new solutions
16
In a low carbon future
• Combination of levers is likely
• Implicit or explicit price on imbedded carbon in international trade
• Low carbon intensity equals competitive advantage
– Fossil + CCS = lower intensity
– Fossil + refining/processing + CCS = still lower intensity
– Biomass + CCS = efficient direct air capture
– Biomass long term use ~ direct capture
17
Bio‐economy contributions
• Bio‐fuels/products + CCS: potentially carbon negative
• Manufacture of long‐life (100 year+) products from bio sources: reduced carbon availability
• Displacement of fossil products with bio‐products: reduced new carbon in the cycle
18
Where will innovation “take”?
• Leverage existing industry:
– Skills/know‐how
• Research capacity – local + global
• Skills & experience ‐ local
– Investors
• Fund what they know
– Domestic markets
• Understand domestic needs then international markets
• Plan for both
19
THE LOW CARBON FUTURE STARTS NOW.We envision a global collaborative network leading in the development of solutions to industrial GHG emissions.
We anticipate an energy sector known for its innovative low-carbon technologies.
We foresee low net carbon footprint products welcomed in a carbon constrained world.

Qualifications for Senior Debt
9
Senior Debt
Qualifying for Senior Debt
• Accessing senior debt generally requires technology to have been successfully demonstrated.
• Senior debt is not rewarded for upside returns. With a fixed margin for capital provided, risk must be commensurate .
• Companies must try to avoid the following when preparing a business plan:
• Unrealistic expectations for qualification of senior debt in life cycle of entity.
• Unrealistic expectation for level of leverage. Leverage of 70-80% is only available for proven commercial technologies.
• Down-playing risks.
• Underestimating challenges related to executing on project budgets in Alberta’s economic environment (rampant cost overruns).
• The financial models we see are generally pretty good. Important to keep the following inmind:
• Ensure rigor around base assumptions.
• Banks can further sensitize as necessary if the models are appropriately designed.
10
Senior Debt
The 5-C’s of Credit
• On a fundamental basis, Lenders are looking to satisfy the 5-C’s of Credit. Ensure your company can check these boxes:
1. Character - How strong is the management team?
2. Capacity – Is there cash flow available to repay the loan?
3. Capital – Is the company adequately capitalized? Is there further capital readily available(equity, sub-debt, etc. )?
4. Collateral – Senior debt requires a secondary source of repayment. It is tough to lendagainst intangible assets and/or assets with limited resale value.
5. Conditions – What covenants are applicable to monitor the health of the loan? Generallysenior debt does not permit dividends until the business is well established.
11
Senior Debt
How to get lenders to listen
• Build solid long term banking relationships.
• Maintain open lines of communications and keep the lender fully informed.
• Maintain timely and accurate reporting.
• Present a realistic and achievable business plan with a fall back.
• If problems arise, examine viable solutions and present them pro-actively.
• Show evidence of management commitment, including material insider equity investment and preparedness to make further investment.
• Make realistic commitments to deadlines and milestone events – “Under Promise and Over Deliver”.
Types of Senior Debt Financing
13
Senior Debt
Project Financing
• Project financing is potentially available if there is no perceived technological risk.
• Project financing requires following risks to be addressed:
• Scalability concerns.
• Construction cost-overruns (requirement for high fixed price percentage for project build).
• Counterparty risk.
• Certainty of demand (generally contract for output to cover at least debt servicing requirements).
• Comfort around variability of input costs (generally long investment horizon depending on amortization period applied).
• Key analysis includes:
• Sensitizing projected cash flow.
• Determination of acceptable amortization period.
• Satisfying acceptable debt service coverage test.
• Establishing appropriate maintenance reserves and/or debt servicing reserves.
14
Senior Debt
Standard Lending Parameters
• Standard senior debt lending parameters may apply if the company has demonstrated cash flow history.
• Typical lending parameters include:
• Margined revolver for working capital. Typical margining may include ~75% of eligible accounts receivables and ~50% of inventory (very dependent on circumstances).
• Term loan for equipment and buildings. Term loan is generally sized around debt to cash flow that is typical for the industry.
• Lenders like to see history of stable cash flow and margins.
• Long term contracts with strong counterparties are ideal for senior debt:
• Amortization period may be extendible to just less than the length of the contract.
• Lender to maintain step-in rights.
The Financing Lifecycle
16
Financing Solutions
Alternative Forms of Financing
• Senior debt is not the only capital solution. There are many other forms of financing for new businesses:
• Venture and angel capital.
• Equity (ie – private equity, friends and family, common and/or preferred shares).
• Subordinated and/or convertible debt.
• Joint ventures.
• On-balance sheet financing by entities with access to resources (ie - R&D budgets or internal financing dedicated to projects) .
• Important for companies to understand the progression of capital sources available, and to determine which capital solutions are realistic.

The Other Financing Considerations
19
Financing Considerations
Other financing considerations
• Understand the motivations of the capital provider:
• Equity investors are looking for investment returns, payback period, growth, etc.
• Senior debt is not rewarded for upside returns. Mitigating risk is the #1 priority for senior lenders.
• Consider mitigating external risks (ie – interest rate, F/X, commodity prices, etc.) to concentrate on the core business. ATB’s Financial Markets Team can develop hedging strategies.
• Cannot overemphasize the importance of management!
• Management quality has proven to be the primary factor that will determine whether a business will flourish or fail.
• A weak management team with no experience is often a non-starter for capital providers (especially senior debt ).
• Ensure your management team is well rounded. Often we see teams that are technically strong, but are missing a few “key” pieces.
• A strong board can help offset a weaker management team.
20
Understand lender motivations
Leaders Don’t Flinch
When the going gets tough, the tough stay put. Through the credit crunch, depressed commodity prices and global economic turmoil, we’ve done just
that. We never left the side of the people who’ve made Alberta an economic powerhouse, and we continue to custom build solutions to help them do what
they do best…lead. Because Alberta means the world to us.
• During the financial crisis ATB:
º Experienced a surge in liquidity as a result of the flight to quality and our AAA rating
º Redeployed this liquidity for the benefit of existing and new clients (overall loan growth in excess of
40%)

Benefits for Sustainability
Extend life of existing well infrastructure reduce new well drilling worldwide
Increase recovery from known pools currently only 27% recovery on average
Lower saline water volumes to surface or by fresh water aquifers
Less energy pumping water to surface and then reinjecting it!!!!!
Water Handling = Coal Power
Oil and gas industry purchases 21 TWhr/yr(NRCan 2006 Energy Outlook)
• Estimated 20-25% of Alberta’s base-load coal power sales;
• Estimated 10-15% in Sask
• Power can be 40-50% of annual operating costs
• Reduced power = Lower GHG and other emissions; lower fresh water use
Main Uses of the Power• Pumping oil and water to surface
• Pumping produced water back into the ground for disposal
Oil Companies are Really Water Companies

Game-Changing Technology
for Oil Water Separation.
The RJOS High Efficiency Oil Water Separation System
May 2014
• Operating in Acheson, Alberta since 1998.
• Our objective is to develop innovative, cost-effective and environmentally sustainable technology based solutions.
RJ Oil Sands Inc
With our focus on green engineering and green chemistry values, our team of professionalshave developed game changing solutions for enhanced oil recovery from waste streams in theoil and gas industry. This focus led to the development of the RJOS High Efficiency Oil WaterSeparation System.
RJOS Technology
Our High Efficiency Oil/Water Separation Technology:
• Does not require heat or chemicals and will process at normal plantconditions.
• Does not rely on the differential in density between oil and water toeffect separation in oily water or slurry streams.
• Is fully automated and self adjusting to receive varying oil/water flowsand oil surges which means the system will not upset on changing oilcontent in the feed.
At the heart of the RJOS High Efficiency Oil Water Separation System is thepatented Phase Separation Device. The device utilizes entrained anddissolved gas effectively separate oil and oil wet solids from process water.
To see an animated demonstration of the RJOS High Efficiency Oil Water Separation system demonstration go to www.rjoilsands.comand click on the Technology Tab.

RJOS Commercial Units
In August 2011, RJ Oil Sands and ourmanufacturing company EBBCOIndustrial Services designed, fabricatedand commissioned the 1st RJOScommercial oil water separation unitwith 300 m3 per hour flow throughcapacity.
In 2013 RJOS designed and built the2nd commercial oil water separationunit with 400 m3 per hour flowthrough capacity. This unit isinstalled at a SAGD facility and isdue to be commissioned in late2014.
High Pressure De-Oiling of SAGD Produced Water
RJOS reconfigured the design of the initial pilot unit into a high pressure, high temperature pilot skid thatwould allow de-oiling of produced water without reducing the temperature. The anticipated benefit tothe SAGD industry as a result of the high temperature RJOS system would include reduced capital andoperating costs, increased reliability, increased oil recovery and a substantial reduction in energyconsumption. The 3 month on site test has just wrapped up and reports will be out later this year.
