Many factors such as operational expertise, macro/micro economic drivers, product availability, competition, capital sources and financing each play a significant role. East asset class carries its own unique risk characteristics and managing these begins in underwriting. This panel will drill down to the unique risk characteristics of several assest classes and how they are managed. The panel will address how they underwrite, structure and manage the portfolio with an eye on the exit. We will discuss: 1) How effective is the acquistion criteria in attracting the right deals (and helping to screen out marginal deals which was time?) 2) How effecitve is the outreach to brokers, lenders and owners (as since everyone has access to the Internet and most sales are “best and final” auctions with 20+ buyers), what are you doing consistently which gives you an edge? 3) How quickly are marginal deals killed? (If left to hang around, they take up time and hence money; they clog the system?) 4) How is the flow of equity matched to the reality of the acquistions market (as having to buy at the wrong time and kill the effectiveness of a system)? 5) When in the acquisition process is the counter balance of property management, property leasing, construction, asset management and finance? Too early and they are wasting time on marginal deals. Too late and the train has left the station; there is no way to kill a bad deal. If some departments are politically weak, do you have inmates (acquisitions) running the asylum?

And the numbers are looking really good! So what does this all add up too? To me it adds up to the strongest alternative investment securities association in the industry. It means you are a part of an association that has grown from a one product focus in the beginning to encompassing all alternative and direct investments the securities world has to offer.

Legendary Hall of Fame Quarterback Terry Bradshaw, a success both on and off the field, shares with audiences his strategies for maintaining success through persistent self-improvement. All of us, he says, want to better ourselves, to learn about ourselves and to apply that learning towards a common goal. Bradshaw invites audiences to think in new ways about sacrifice, pain, competition, and adversity, while giving specific examples of how to focus the power of dreaming, thinking, and strategizing towards goals and success. The only NFL player with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Bradshaw continues to defy an easy pigeonhole. A four-time Super Bowl champion quarterback (Pittsburgh Steelers), two-time Super Bowl MVP and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee. An award-winning broadcaster for FOX on Fox NFL Sunday. An enduringly popular actor, recently in the comedy romance Failure to Launch. Add to that gospel/country singer motivational speaker, New York Times best-selling author, breeder of championship quarter horses… No one can spiral them into the end zone like Bradshaw… The first player chosen in the 1970 draft, the 6’3” Bradshaw became one of the most prolific quarterbacks in history. He was the first quarterback to win four Super Bowl championships (1975, 1976, 1979 and 1980), making him a perfect 4-0 Super Bowl play, an extraordinary feat that has only been duplicated once, 10 years later, by Joe Montana. In those four performances, he completed 49 of 84 attempted passes (nine for touchdowns) for 932 yards (second all-time), with just three interceptions while amazingly calling his own plays, something rarely done when Bradshaw played and unheard of in today’s NFL. He still holds the Super Bowl passing records for average gain per attempt in career (11.10 yards) and average gain in a game (14.71 yards in Super Bowl XIV). Bradshaw, a two-time Super Bowl MVP (Super Bowls XIII and XIV), was a fourtime All-Pro. He retired prior to the 1984 season. Widely acknowledged as today’s preeminent NFL studio personality, Bradshaw segued to broadcasting as a guest commentator for CBS Sports’ NFC postseason broadcasts (1980-82). He joined CBS Sports as an NFL game analyst in 1984, then became a studio analyst on The NFL Today for four seasons beginning in 1990. Currently his dual rose as co-host and analyst on Fox NFL Sunday, he has been a primary force in making the show America’s most-watched, and four-time Emmy Award-winning, NFL pregame program. In 2006, the nationally prominent Davies-Brown Index rated Terry to be the best-known broadcaster in all of sports. His work on Fox NFL Sunday earned him Sports Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Sports Personality/Analyst 2014 Annual Conference & Trade Show 21 category in 1999, 2001 and 2009 and he was named TV Guide’s Favorite Sportscaster in 1999. This hard work and dedication has made Bradshaw one of the most sought after personalities for TV talk shows and he has appeared on virtually every show on air, including numerous appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Along with his broadcasting career, Bradshaw has appeared in several feature films, most recently Paramount’s $100 million hit Failure to Launch, starring Matthew McConaughey, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Bates, also lending his unique voice to the $250 million grossing animated film Robots. Previously, Bradshaw garnered kudos for his appearances in Hooper and Cannonball Run. His television roles including guest starring spots on Everybody Loves Raymond, 8 Simple Rules, Malcolm in the Middle, Evening Shade, Blossom, Hardcastle and McCormick and The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., along with his vocal contribution to an episode of King of the Hill. Bradshaw hosted his own talk show, The Home Team with Terry Bradshaw, the first talk show ever to debut simultaneously on network and syndicated television. Most recently, Bradshaw starred with Charisma Carpenter and Nicholas Brendon in the ABC Family telefilm Relative Chaos. Bradshaw launched a successful singing career by recording four albums, two of which were top-selling gospel records nominated for Dove Awards. His cover of Hank Williams’ I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry became a Top 10 country hit. He recorded a children’s holiday album entitled Terry Bradshaw Sings Christmas Songs for the Whole Family. He has also worked with superstar Willie Nelson on a cut for the NFL Country record which paired current and former NFL stars with renowned country artists. An author of five books, Bradshaw easily brings his signature charm and charisma to the written page. They include his acclaimed autobiographies, Looking Deep (1989), It’s Only A Game (2001) and Keep it Simple (2002), No Easy Game (1973) and Terry Bradshaw: Man of Steel (1979). As a widely sought after motivational speaker, Bradshaw speaks to Fortune 500 companies and major corporations across the country. Energizing and motivating with his inspirational style, charisma and personality, Bradshaw has become most sought after sports personality speaking today. A native of Shreveport, Louisiana, Bradshaw attended Woodlawn High School, the program that also produced former Buffalo Bills quarterback Joe Ferguson. He went on to attend Louisiana Tech, where he still holds the single-season passing and total offense records. He was a firstteam Associated Press All-America as a senior in 1970 and later that year received a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education from Louisiana Tech. Bradshaw has racked up numerous awards and honors during his long, diverse career and his work on behalf of those less fortunate has helped raise a tremendous amount of money and awareness while earning the gratitude and respect of countless charitable organizations. He was named NFL Player of the Year by The Associated Press, Sport magazine and the Maxwell Club of Philadelphia following his 1978 season with the Steelers; in 1979, he shared Sports Illustrated’s Man of the Year award with Willie Stargell of the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. In 1993, he won the NFL’s Bert Bell Memorial Award for significant contributions made to the league. In 2001, Bradshaw added yet another prestigious distinction with the NFL Alumni’s Career Achievement Award. Outside the realm of football, he was named 1999’s Man of the Year by the Big Sisters of America, 2000’s Father of the Year by the National Father’s Day Council, and in October 2001 became the NFL’s first and only player to receive a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. Bradshaw spends his time at his home in Oklahoma and has two daughters, Rachel and Erin. 22 2014 Annual Conference & Trade Show FEATURED OPENING KEYNOTE SPEAKER Amy Lynch Generational Consultant Marketing messages that w in with one generation can turn off another entirely.

Coachman Energy Partners LP 5251 DTC Parkway, Suite 200 Greenwood Village, CO 80111 720.279.0072 www.coachmanenergy.com Profile: Coachman Energy Partners LP Coachman Energy is a privately owned energy company actively acquiring mineral lease and Working Interest positions in the Bakken Shale and other unconventional oil plays throughout North America. Collaborating with its technical team that averages 35 years experience developing and managing multibillion dollar exploration and development projects across the globe, Coachman’s principals identified the Bakken’s potential in 2006 and were among the early investors to acquire mineral acreage in the play. Today, Coachman’s asset portfolio includes working interest positions in ~25,000 net mineral acres, a significant drilling inventory of proved undeveloped (PUD) drilling prospects, and producing assets in North Dakota, Montana, and Colorado. Coachman’s asset management philosophy can be summed up as “acquire, drill, harvest, recycle CAPX, then drill some more.” Coachman does not simply buy-and-hold like most other non-op oil companies. Instead, Coachman approaches oilfield development like the majors, starting with owning the mineral leases––at the fund level. The end goal is to build value through the drill bit––proving up reserves in the ground on behalf of its capital partners. 2014 Annual Conference & Trade Show 59 Booth #503 The DST 1031 Exchange Experts Sponsor of 13 DST investment programs since December 2012 OUR PORTFOLIO RIVERWOOD CORPORATE CENTER, WI GANDER MOUNTAIN, AL ASHFORD CLUB APARTMENTS, FL REICHHOLD, INC., NC ECU PHYSICIANS MOB, NC CVS, NV 24-HOUR FITNESS, TX WOODLAKE-SOMMERLAND MHC, IN BRIDGEVIEW APARTMENTS, FL API HEALTHCARE CORPORATION, WI Approximately 420,000 SF of Retail, Flex, Medical and Traditional Office Space 450 Multifamily Units More than 1,100 Rentable Manufacturing Housing Lots (877) 626-1031 | www.capitalsquareholdings.com 60 2014 Annual Conference & Trade Show Creating Value in the Oilfield through Active Fund Management.
