Tri-Parti Agreement: Introduction of this concept means there
is no need for a specific guarantee from a parent company that could involve restrictions. The use and acceptance
of these documents was pioneered by InRisk
Solutions Inc management in 1995 throughout Canada and the U.S. in the energy sector.

Specified Funds Agreement: Provides for
a specific interest granting for a creditor as a stand-by security instrument while the debtor
manages funds day-to-day. Normally this security instrument can be built for a debtor seeking credit who has
a high risk profile because cash is one of their larger assets.

Joint Venture Partnership Pro-Rated Security Instrument:
Provides for specified interest obligations without liability to and from other
partners.

Income and Royalty Trusts: Dealing with
trusts is both complex and difficult when trying to get credit comfort, as the operating company will not provide published
financials. Indepth understanding and assessment is necessary on a case by case basis. In 1996, InRisk Solutions'
management began developing these credit assessments and comfort for the energy sector.
