<h3>Debt&rsquo;s requirement of principal repayment diverts capital out of your company that could otherwise be used to expedite growth and accomplish management&rsquo;s objectives.</h3>

<p>As an equity provider, Alaris does not require principal repayment. What we do require is an equity dividend distribution (a &ldquo;distribution&rdquo;), set in advance, and based on a mutually agreed upon performance metric. The remaining free cash flow of the company is readily available to you, the entrepreneur to fuel growth, provide liquidity, or further corporate initiatives.</p>

<h3>Debt payments are fixed and are not sensitive to the potential economic fluctuations of a business.</h3>

<p>Alaris&rsquo; distribution fluctuates up or down based on the results of your business. Our distribution is set in advance and based on a mutually agreed upon performance metric; which is a &ldquo;top line&rdquo; audited financial measure such as same store sales, gross revenue, or gross profit. We call ourselves a &ldquo;partner&rdquo; for a reason. We correlate our distribution with the economics of your business to minimize risk, to the benefit of you and your business.</p>

<h3>Debt often includes restrictive covenants that can influence a company&rsquo;s ability to grow, place restrictions on the use of proceeds, as well as limit the amount of proceeds available to a company.</h3>

<p>Alaris is a long-term partner. We utilize consent rights and protective covenants to protect our interest but not to limit our Private Company Partners&rsquo; growth. We are motivated to grow with you and your business. Alaris has now closed 18 &ldquo;follow-on&rdquo; contributions with our Private Company Partners in order to fund growth and to provide liquidity.</p>
