Agilis

Agilis was formed in 2003 by Joseph Hirl to provide energy commodity and risk management solutions
for companies and investors focused on emerging opportunities in the competitive US and international
energy markets. Over this period, Agilis has consulted to a broad range of companies ranging from
early stage technology and hedge funds to Fortune 100 companies and investment banks in the United
States, Mexico, Australia and Europe. At the request of management and investors, Agilis has
developed expansion-based business plans, energy plant feasibility studies, restructuring plans, capital
raise initiatives and advanced risk quantification solutions across the fields of electricity, natural gas,
emissions, biogas and biofuels. Depending on the clients needs, Agilis has worked at arm's length or
as a close partner to senior management being involved in the day-to-day management of the business.

Agilis provides unique entrepreneurial and opportunity identification and quantification capabilities that
are practical and experience-based drawing on the more than twenty years that Joseph Hirl has spent in
the fields of energy trading and marketing, financial risk management, power plant operations and
maintenance and international business development. His understanding of the complexities of business
creation, foreign environments and commodity risks originates from his senior management experience
in successfully starting and managing four separate energy marketing, trading and structured products
businesses in the highly competitive and deregulated energy markets of the United States, Scandinavia,
Australia and Japan.

Joseph Hirl earned a Bachelor's of Science in Electricial Engineering from the University of Notre Dame
and a Masters in Business Administration from Harvard University. He has also received graduate level
training in Nuclear Engineering and Operations and is certfied as a Nuclear Engineer by the US
Department of Naval Reactors.
