 experience developing, building and expanding independent
 liquid terminal facilities.
v Management has consistently demonstrated their ability while
 with Delta Terminal Services, Kinder Morgan, LBC, and Canal
 Barge to acquire underperforming assets, improve the acquired
 facility operations, and greatly increase the financial
 performance of the assets (e.g. terminal locations at Harvey,
 LA; Cincinnati, OH; Baton Rouge, LA; Staten Island, NY;

STORAGE TERMINALS and
INDUSTRY POTENTIAL
v Midstream terminal assets offer an attractive, low risk
 opportunity to invest in the petroleum, chemical and
 agricultural products sectors without taking commodity
 price risk.
v The Lower Mississippi/ Gulf Coast region of the United
 States has a chronic shortage of terminal storage for oil,
 refined products, agricultural and chemical liquids.

v Storage assets typically have high operating margins, in the
 60-65% EBITDA margin range.
v Third-party terminalling businesses are generally
 independent operations that support many different
 commercial customers including refiners, blenders, traders
 and marketers.
v Income is derived from tank leasing, operational charges
 associated with blending services and throughput charges for
 receipt and delivery options.

 chemicals, agricultural products, bio-diesel.
