2/TMA Spring Conference 2007

Who Should Attend?The 2007 Spring Conference is a must for all professionals with a stake in the corporate renewal process, including practitioners, lenders, at-torneys, investors, venture capitalists, appraisers, liquidators, auction-eers, financial planners and interim corporate managers.

About the Turnaround Management AssociationTurnaround Management Association (TMA) is the premier professional community dedicated to corporate renewal and turnaround management.

With international headquarters in Chicago, TMA’s 7,600 members in 40 regional chapters comprise a professional community of turnaround practitioners, attorneys, ac-countants, investors, lenders, venture capitalists, apprais-ers, liquidators, executive recruiters and consultants as well as academic, government and judicial employees.

TMA members adhere to a code of ethics specifying high standards of professionalism, integrity and competence.

The Certified Turnaround Professional (CTP) certifica-tion program recognizes professional excellence and provides an objective measure of expertise related to workouts, restructurings and corporate renewal.

Why You Should AttendThe 2007 Spring Conference will enhance your professional development by exposing you to a timely educational program and important networking activities. Conference highlights include:

Outstanding keynote speakers, including Hon. Edward C. Prado, United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit; Dr. Daniella Saltz of Ford Motor Company, and Kurt Eichenwald, author of the best-seller Conspiracy of Fools: A True Story, about the collapse of Enron.

Insightful general sessions on topics including electronic processes in bankruptcy; fiduciary obligations, and hedge funds, among others.

Networking events such as golf and tennis tournaments and numer-ous meals, receptions and coffee breaks, bringing you together with peers from around the world.

On behalf of the Spring Conference Committee, it is our pleasure to invite you to attend TMA’s 2007 Spring Conference at the beautiful Four Seasons Resort and Club at Las Colinas. You may recall that TMA held its 2004 Spring Conference at this phenomenal resort. It didn’t take long for attendees of that conference to recog-

nize the outstanding service, top-notch accommodations and incomparable recreational activities that the resort offers, and they urged TMA to return as soon as possible. So, we are thrilled to be back at the Four Seasons, and we know that it will provide the perfect backdrop to three days of incomparable education and networking.

As the landscape of the corporate renewal industry continues to change, the ways in which we do business change, as well. With that in mind, the conference committee has developed an educational program to help you best understand, embrace and deal with these changes in the coming year. Two sessions feature best practices in managing business matters electronically. Other sessions highlight the changing roles of turnaround professionals, recent developments concerning the “zone of insolvency,” the increasing role of second lien loans and a discussion of how the amendments under BAPCPA have been applied in business cases filed since it went into effect.

In addition, don’t miss an impressive line-up of keynote speakers. The Honorable Edward C. Prado of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit will open the conference, talking about his experience as a federal public defender, the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas, and U.S. District Judge, all of which led to his appointment to the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Our lunch speaker on Friday, Dr. Daniella Saltz, will talk about her experi-ences as Counsel in the Office of the General Counsel of Ford Motor Company, where she is responsible for dealing with troubled and bankrupt suppliers and other commercial bankruptcy issues affecting the company. Finally, dinner speaker Kurt Eichenwald, author of the best-selling book, Conspiracy of Fools: A True Story, will talk about corporate governance.

Our business is about building relationships, and we encourage you to take advantage of the numerous networking events throughout the conference. In addition, please make note of some special events on Thursday, March 29. The golf and tennis tournaments will be held at the hotel and are an excellent opportunity for networking and friendly competi-tion. The Professional Women’s Networking Group Luncheon and Poolside Event offers a relaxing afternoon with friends and colleagues. And, new this year, the Diversity Reception provides a forum for the Professional Women’s Networking, Young Professionals and Minority groups to network and discuss the issues they face in the rapidly changing corporate renewal marketplace. Details about these events may be found on page 8.

Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your knowledge and forge new business relationships. We look forward to seeing you in Dallas.

Keynote Speakers

In the wake of Enron, Worldcom, and a host of oth-er scandals, the staid world of corporate governance has been shaken to its core, and the topic of how companies are run—not just how much money they make—has become one of the hottest business issue of our time. Kurt Eichenwald, a 20-year veteran of The New York Times, is one of the world’s leading commentators on this vital topic. In his current best seller, Conspiracy of Fools: A True Story, Eichenwald

explores the greatest corporate scandal in history, helping readers to understand how and why it happened. He has written about corporate governance and related topics for more than a decade. He is a two-time winner of journalism’s highest honor, the George Polk Award, and was a finalist for the 2000 Pulitzer Prize.

Following his speech, Eichenwald will be autographing copies of Conspiracy of Fools: A True Story, which will be on sale during the conference.

Join your colleagues on the Tournament Players Course (TPC) at the Four Seasons Resort at Las Colinas for TMA’s golf clinic and tourna-ment. Tim Cusick, Director of Instruction at the Sports Club at Four Seasons, will conduct a golf clinic. Cusick has been a member of the PGA since 1989. He was named 2005 Teacher of the year for the North-ern Texas PGA Section, and Golf Magazine recognized him as a Top Teacher for the South Central Region of the U.S. in 2005-06. Cusick has taught players who have won championships on every major pro-fessional golf tour.

Range balls, boxed lunches and the bever-age cart during play are included in the registration fee. Prizes will be awarded at the completion of play. If you require golf club rental, please complete the appropri-ate portion of the registration form. TMA will place the rental order, but attendees are responsible for full payment of the rental on the day of the tournament. Golf club rental is $75.

You must be a registered attendee of the 2007 Spring Conference to participate in the golf tournament. Please use the form in this brochure to register. On the form, you may indicate individuals with whom you wish to play, and TMA will do its best to accommodate your request. If you purchase more than one golf tournament registra-tion, you must indicate the names of those for whom you are purchasing tournament participation. Because TMA maintains a waiting list for this event, the association will not hold space for this event (mean-ing that TMA will not reserve a golf space unless the name of a registered attendee is provided).

Space in the golf tournament is limited. Individuals may register on a first-come, first-served basis, and TMA will maintain a waiting list for this event. If you are on the

waiting list, TMA will process the tournament registration fees. If the event is still sold out at the time of play, TMA will reimburse your golf tournament registration fees in full. Please carefully review the cancel-lation and substitution policies on page 11 of this brochure for complete details about canceling or substituting for the golf tournament. The TPC Course at the Four Seasons requires collared shirts, golf slacks or golf shorts and spikeless golf shoes. Spike replacements will be available, if necessary. No denim of any kind is allowed.

Substitution PoliciesPlease note that space is limited in the golf tournament, and TMA will maintain a waiting list once all spaces in the tournament have been filled. If at the time your substitution notice is received, a waiting list exists, TMA will not accept a substitute player in consideration of those individuals on the waiting list.

The substitute must be from the same firm and must be a registered attendee of the 2007 Spring Conference. Please contact Catherine Cram at [email protected] or 312-242-6036 for further details.

Tennis Tournament and Women’s Poolside EventThe same policies described above for the golf tournament also apply to the tennis tournament and women’s poolside event. The only difference is the cancellation processing fee, which is $150 for overall conference registra-tion, including the tennis tournament and/or women’s poolside event, or $25 for individual cancellation of the tennis tournament or women’s poolside event only.

Registrants who fail to attend the conference and do not notify TMA in accordance with these policies and deadlines are respon-sible for full payment.
