SEF HEDGE PROVIDER

Pool Investor

! A Volumetric Production Payment (“VPP”) is a conversion tool whereby a specified BTU volume is delivered to the Pool Investor (fixed) for a specified future position (floating)

! A Delta Global Structured VPP is a REPO of future hydrocarbon production and is conveyed through the swap of a limited volumetric BTU equivalency

! In exchange for the VPP interest, the Counterparty contributes margin or eligible collateral and accepts in-kind BTUs marked-to-future market for upfront option to trigger conversion/redemption

! When the total specified volume is created by Producer and available to Pool Investor(s) the fractional VPP terminates and the convertible interests are exchanged bespoken, notionally adjusted, or Fx reconciled

Modified VPP Structure – Delayed Start VPP Delayed Start VPP Reserves Profile

! Delayed Start VPP would allow company to receive cash proceeds on day 1 but begin delivery under the VPP at a later date

! Delayed delivery is attractive for fields with existing production and additional development opportunities

! The modified structure would generate capital for the development upfront, but allow the deliveries to coincide with production under the new development project

! Company would thus retain a share of the field’s production at all times, assuming development stayed on schedule

Modified VPP Structures ! Any number of modified VPP structures enhance the advance rate/

conversion rate/redemption rate and mitigate operational risks. These in-kind creation/redemption trades include:

! Volume Limited ! IRR/ROI Limited ! PDNP/PUD adjustment of iNAV through BTU Facility swapped/collateral

substituted in-kind with VPP trades ! Pool "D" Structures where VPP Counterparty on bespoken swap is

responsible for Opex and Capex related to VPP volumes

Prepay Swap Transaction Example ! A Prepayment (‘Prepay’ ) is a in-kind collateral substitution tool whereby Producer

hedges a specified volume for a fixed tenor with a financial swap which is then discounted and margin/collateral is advanced to the Producer (fixed/floating or floating/fixed)

! Preferred Derivative Tool for BTU Arbitrage Transactions ! Transaction Size: $50,000 US - $4,000,000 US +
