5. May 2007 Slide 5 PricewaterhouseCoopers/National Venture Capital Association MoneyTree™ Report based on data from Thomson Financial Mike Elliott Mike Elliott joined NMP in early 2005 with 21 years of successful venture capital investment experience. Mike spent the last eight years as a Managing Director of The Wakefield Group, a private venture firm based in Charlotte, North Carolina with an investment focus similar to that of NMP. Mike invested primarily in technology and business services companies, at early and growth stages of development, and will continue that focus in his deployment of Fund VI. Several of The Wakefield Group’s investments were syndicated co-investments with several of the Prior Funds. Prior to his service at The Wakefield Group, Mike was a Managing Director of NationsBank Capital (now Bank of America Capital Investors), Bank of America’s private equity investment arm, where he managed large financings of later-stage growth companies. He began his venture investment career as a founding partner of NCNB Venture Co., L.P., the venture investment arm of NCNB, the predecessor of Bank of America. During his venture career, Mike has been an active board member and sponsor of several highly successful ventures, including Affiliated Managers (NYSE: AMG), Redgate Communications (sold to AOL), Medic Computer Systems (sold to Misys), OpenSite Technologies (sold to Siebel Systems), SciQuest (Nasdaq: SQST) and Serologicals (Nasdaq: SERO).

During his three years as a Managing Director at NationsBank Capital, he led growth company financings generating a 25% gross IRR and returning 2.1x capital. While at The Wakefield Group, he sponsored transactions generating a 37% gross IRR, returning 1.5x capital. Mike’s experience and known culture fit with the NMP team make him an ideal addition to the Firm and the Fund VI team. Mike is extensively involved in North Carolina’s entrepreneurial community, having served in many leadership roles, including the Executive Committee of the NASBIC Board of Governors and as a board member of the Council for Entrepreneurial Development in Research Triangle Park.
