  6. 6 MAY 2015 RECAPITALIZATION  Recapitalization was led by current CEO, Director and significant shareholder, Marc Murnaghan  Raised C$74 million (approx. US$60 million) of common equity at C$8.00 issue price  Converted corporate debentures into equity at C$10.00 issue price  C$54.13 million of secured 8% debentures converted into C$43.3 million of equity  Equity market capitalization at time of recapitalization: C$1.8 million  Pre-existing shareholders (Ram Power, Corp) subject to share consolidation  Substantially new Board of Directors and new Management team as of May 2015

  7. 7 MAY 2015 RESTRUCTURING  Restructuring of project-level senior & subordinated debt  Syndicate of development banks led by IFC (World Bank)  Key terms of restructuring:  Extended term to 2024/2028 (Phase I/II)  2016 debt service reduced from $37 million to $23 million  Significant reduction in sub debt “return enhancement” (from 6.88% of EBTIDA to 3%)  Ability to reduce coupon based on future production targets  Effectively enables distributions out of the project, to PIF

  9. SAN JACINTO GEOTHERMAL PLANT

  10. 10 PLANT OVERVIEW  2 x 36 MW fuji turbines “above ground” – BOTH ONLINE SINCE JAN 2013  10 production wells with productive capacity of approximately:  500-550 tph of steam and  1,500-1,700 tph of hot brine.  Production wells 500m to 2,500m in depth  Current steam can result in power capacity of approx. 65-70 MW gross or 60-65 MW net  PPA in US$ for up to 72MW net, to 2029  US$118/MWh in 2016 with 3% per annum price escalator for 7 years; 1.5% per annum thereafter (to 2029)  6 Injection wells re-inject the hot brine into the reservoir to create a “closed loop” -- RENEWABLE ENERGY IN LITERAL SENSE  Plant re-certified for CO2 credits - ~250,000 tons per year available

  12. 2015/2016 SAN JACINTO DRILLING PROGRAM

  14. 14 2015/2016 DRILLING PROGRAM  Drilled 3 new wells – target 2 new production wells ($23.4MM)  SJ 6-3  SJ 9-4  SJ 14-1  Mechanical “workover” of 4 existing injection wells ($8.2MM)  Selected infrastructure investments ($6.4 million):  Roads  Drilling pads  New separation station  Well connection piping etc

  15. 15 PRODUCTIVE CAPACITY GROWTH Pre-Existing Productive Capacity (gross) ~55 MW Well SJ 6-3 ~2 – 3 MW Well SJ 9-4 ~10 MW Current Productive Capacity (gross) * ~67 – 68 MW Plus: Binary Unit ~8 – 10 MW Total (gross) ~75 – 78 MW * Until infrastructure improvements in Q1 2017 are complete, power production will be constrained by ~3 – 8 MW

  16. FUTURE GROWTH OPTIONS

  17. 17 FUTURE GROWTH OPTIONS  San Jacinto geothermal project  Binary Unit  Drilling further production and injection wells  Plant output optimization projects  Develop Western Sector  Acquisitions / Project Development  Casita – San Cristobal Geothermal Field Feasibility and Development Project  Carbon Credits

  18. 18 BINARY UNIT  Polaris is currently assessing binary unit feasibility  Estimate additional 8 – 10 MW  Equates to approx. $8 – 10 million additional cash flow  Viewed as a low risk, though capital intensive, means of generating additional power – approaching 72MW (net) threshold under PPA  No exploration risk  Precedent exists for successful implementation  Known issues with feedstock (brine); can be planned for in engineering phase  Appears that competitive nature of OEM market will result in attractive pricing

  19. 19 FURTHER WELLS  Capital is set aside every quarter for “make - up” wells  Drilling rig is on-site, available  Have 2- 3 more “traditional” well sites identified  More likely to drill several shallow wells to target “steam cap”  Steam cap is a key development in the lifecycle of the San Jacinto resource  Expansion into Western Sector of San Jacinto concession

  20. 20 ACQUISITIONS/DEVELOPMENT  Grid in Central America is small/fragmented and has a significant number of renewable projects  Numerous – 25-100 MW projects in the region  Large power companies and infrastructure funds not active  Owners are small companies and / or HNW individuals  Implication is that:  Good targets for acquisitions without significant competition  Much higher IRR projects available to develop (i.e. 15-20% IRR vs. 10-12% in North America)

  21. 21 NICARAGUA OVERVIEW  Daniel Ortega President – elected in 2007  Ortega won national election in November 2016 – 5 more years of stability  Highest growth rate and safest country in central America  “Left Leaning” politically but open economically  Polaris project is a showcase project for the country  One of the largest foreign investments in country to date  Renewable energy  World bank and other global development banks as lenders
