To Whom It May Concern:

It has been my privilege to represent ONSITE- CO2, LLC, the Houston company for which Louis serves as CFO and COO, in various oil and gas matters. Louis’ work at ONSITE on one particular project highlights qualities in Louis, which it is my pleasure to describe in this letter.

Louis took the lead in negotiating a contract to acquire the right to drill and develop identified non-producing zones in certain oil and gas leases. The project involved diverse and complex oil and gas issues including accounting issues in the 2005 COPAS, net profits interests, engineering issues related to well bores and Texas Railroad Commission issues including field wide unitization. Louis was able to quickly grasp and understand these specialized issues and solve problems which arose in connection with these issues in the contract.

During the time that it took to negotiate and finalize the contract, Louis demonstrated not only a strong work ethic and qualities of perseverance and determination to complete the project, but also the very mature quality of patience during the process.

Most impressive to me, however, was the manner in which Louis dealt with the company on the other side of the contract. During the negotiations leading up to execution of the contract, numerous differences and disputes arose over proposed contract terms. While Louis was firm in representing ONSITE’s position, he resolved each difference and dispute in a very civil manner, which was not off-putting to the personnel of the other company. The professionalism, moral ethics and integrity, which Louis demonstrated during this process, resulted not only in the final execution of the contract, but in ONSITE and the other company being on such good terms that they are considering further opportunities to work together.

I am able to recommend Louis as an independent CFO/COO without reservation.

Very truly yours,

To Whom it May Concern:

I have worked with Louis as a consultant to assist ONSITE-CO2 in obtaining an energy management agreement for a co-generation plant ONSITE-CO2 has plans to install in South Texas.  The contemplated business arrangement was not typical, nor was the assignment typical for my practice; but Louis and I figured it out together.  We obtained proposals from three different companies and negotiated a Letter of Intent with the USA operations of the largest power provider globally.  It was a pleasure working Louis, he proved to be very creative and diligent in all that he does and I would look forward to working with him on another project, or working with him, if there is a continuous need for my services with ONSITE-CO2.

Respectfully,

To Whom it May Concern:

I had an opportunity approximately 3 years ago to meet Mr. Louis Danna when he was engaged by one of my bank customers to assist him in a complicated business transaction that involved multiple parties. During the long process I was impressed with the advice my bank client was receiving from Mr. Danna.

Mr. Danna provided guidance to our bank customer in raising equity capital to support a major capital expansion and prepared the loan submission documents for the construction financing and permanent financing with the Bank on behalf of our customer.  As the project progressed Mr. Danna worked closely with our staff in preparing monthly bank draws on the construction loan, reconciling the loan commitment and helped our customer stay in good standing throughout the construction process.  Mr. Danna was especially helpful in negotiating the very important details of the permanent loan agreement for our customer, balancing the customers needs, the banks requirements and satisfying the commitments to the equity partners.  Once we completed the permanent financing Mr. Danna prepared the quarterly reports required of the customer to maintain compliance with all the various loan covenants.  Mr. Danna maintained an excellent working relationship with our banking team and myself during this process, and was very helpful to our banking customer who did not have that level of expertise among his employees.

Unfortunately for the Bank our customer was offered a debt structure he could not refuse and the loan was purchased by another community bank.  Mr. Danna assisted the customer in that transaction and that was our last direct involvement.

I had and have a great deal of respect and confidence in the advice and matter in which Mr. Danna was offering the client. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Danna as a financial consultant for other business owners.

Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern
Re: Louis V. Danna
Dear Sir/Madam:

This will serve to confirm that I have known and worked with Mr. Louis Danna for over ten years while he was serving in his former capacity as CFO at Dixie Produce Company in New Orleans and while I was serving as Dixie’s independent risk management consultant.

During the ten plus years that I worked with Louis, I was extremely impressed with his conscientiousness, work ethic, general knowledge and astute application of risk management principles.  Mr. Danna had the uncanny ability to quickly learn the principles of risk management and apply them in a realistic and strategic manner.

As CFO for Dixie Produce, Mr. Danna had the responsibility for administering the risk management program.  Louis’ managerial style was clearly exemplary of the utmost professionalism and of all his business affairs relating to insurance and risk management were transacted with the highest degree of ethical conduct.

I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Danna as an independent CFO/COO.

Very truly yours,

Robert W. Lazarus

Working with Louis Danna:
Louis is passionate about his work, a true teacher to his co-workers, respectable and understanding to his subordinates and a great leader. People that work with Louis become extremely loyal, respect him tremendously, and consider him not only a wonderful leader but also a true friend.

As a great problem solver, he will take the time to lead you to the answer, yet leave you with the sense that you did all the work.  He gives praise where praise is deserved and constructive criticism where it is needed.

Louis has a strong character with genuine concern for people and business. A real leader with compassion, humor, and respect… all the great characteristics of a person admired by all that know him or work with him.

With a sense of humor that is second to none, a laugh that is infectious, and outstanding people skills, he is a real pleasure to work with. 

Louis taught me many things in the 11 years we worked together. Make the work environment fun, yet productive.  Treat others as you expect to be treated. Cure problems with laughter.  And the most valuable asset of your business is the people that work for you - treat them that way.

To Whom it May Concern:
I have worked with and for Louis Danna at Dixie Produce for 13 years.  What an experience! He has truly been an inspiration.  His ability to multi task, coordinate, think things through and deal with others is extraordinary.  One of the many things I admire about him is his ability to keep business first and the personal relationship on the side.  This trait comes hard for many people, but Louis makes it seem so easy. He is very easy going and patient which makes it easy to talk with him about any topic. Louis is direct and cuts no corners.  I know when I approach him about any situation I can expect honesty, diversity and encouragement without a doubt. 

Sincerely,

To Whom it May Concern:
Louis Danna served as CFO of Dixie Produce, Inc. during the time frame our firm was engaged to provide advisory services to the Company.  Our task was to negotiate acceptable forbearance terms with the incumbent lender, investigate potential senior debt refinance options, and explore sale and recapitalization possibilities.

Our reliance on Louis was significant.  He provided timely product cost and revenue data, worked with us on developing the information memorandum we used in connection with the above scope of work, and generated the forecast we used for capital structure and identifying liquidity requirements.  His work product was accurate and timely.

I would heartily recommend Louis Danna for accounting related functions.

Louis,

Congratulation on you new direction in life. Working with you in the past, I knew it was just a matter of time before you stepped out on your on to embark on such a career. I wish you much luck, and if there is anything I can do, please just ask.

I have learned so much from working with you in the past. As you know, I have also taken that same leap of faith and ventured out on my own. I have taken so much valuable information that I have learned from you and carried it with me. I am now using it to help set the course in directing my company’s direction. The most important thing that I have learned from you and that I will always remember is “It does not matter how long you’ve been in business. What matters is whether you are really serving your customers”. I have been building my company with that principal as my guide.

Best of luck and I look forward to seeing you in the near future.
