#### Pitch Deck

Feel free to go through the entire slide deck if you have time, but if you only have time for one slide, show this one:

When we present to customers, we spend the most time on this slide because it makes the customer ask two questions:

1. How are you able to provide more savings?

1. Archera purchases 3-year commitments and guarantees to buy them back.

2. What's the catch?

1. No catch. Archera operates like insurance, charging a risk premium when we guarantee to buy back a commitment from the customer. There are no other charges or fees, period.

If you have time for one more slide, you can show this one to hit this message home:
