Hydration Company of PA

Hydration Company of PA ("HCPA") is a water, water exploration, augmentation and treatment of impacted waters company. HCPA provides a solution to locate, procure, treat and distribute water, possessing the technical knowhow to source and implement reclaimed water and distribute it at profit. This patent-pending process provides cleaner water, which results in an improved, safer environment. It can also mitigate drought conditions by accessing water that was previously unavailable.

Applications of HCPA's solution include, but are not limited to:

HCPA plans to operate out of multiple pre-determined sites within the United States, which vary in terms of geography, storage and water quality. The sites will enable for augmentation or the ability to mitigate during pass-by conditions. The augmentation of existing water flow enables HCPA to provide everyday water as well as provide additional waters to the system when low-flow conditions are present. This is a particularly valuable component of HCPA's model, because regardless of how long or a severe a drought may be, customers will have the ability to consume at their intake up to their maximum docketed withdrawal, which grants them pass-by exemption.

How the Model Works

• Hydrological studies are performed region-wide to determine the largest pools of non-potable water
  Access and control of these mines are gained through contacts with the current owner
  Final hydrology and engineering studies are performed
  A filtration system is installed with all needed permits
  A dynamically adjustable, turnkey system is put online that allows HCPA to execute its model of treatment and distribution through its proprietary conveyance system

American Energy Solutions

American Energy Solutions is an industrial waste stream treatment company engaged in the remediation of:

• Superfunds
  Coal ash
  Acid mine drainage & MIW
  Drill cuttings (HDD & VDD)
  Flowback & produced waters
  Other industrial processes

Through its partners, AES provides off-the-shelf and custom-designed treatment technologies across its customer base that contribute to HCPA's business model of low-cost treatment and distribution. By providing design of projects, AES is capable of selling repeatable and synergistic services across the value chain. In the short-term, AES plans to use and manage a set of strategic partnerships with existing water treatment providers, which will allow AES to evaluate the performance of these consultants and build an in-house team from on-the-job experience with its partners.

In the long term, AES intends to utilize its in-house team to supplant existing market share and generate new market share as water use continues to expand as a necessary component of modern industry.

Through leveraging broad industry valuation, experience and access to deal flow, Gilbert plans to initially invest in opportunities within the Marcellus and Utica region, which may be in the form of ownership of op and non-op stable producing properties, drill-to-earn projects, joint venture partnerships and royalty interest purchases.

Gilbert currently has all the capabilities in-house to source and evaluate these types of opportunities for profitability. While initially intended to be minimal, Gilbert's staff build-outs will, in the long-term, reflect anticipated acquired assets and executed opportunities.
