KEYNOTE SESSIONSRobert B. ReichFormer U.S. Secretary of Labor Friday, October 13, 8:30 a.m. – 9:45 a.m. (time reflects entire convention opening session)

Robert B. Reich is one of the nation's leading thinkers about work and the economy. He is currently a Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley. Previously, he was a University Professor at Brandeis University and Professor of Social and Economic Policy at Brandeis's Heller Graduate School. Prior to that, Reich served as the 22nd United States Secretary of Labor during President Bill Clinton's first term and directed Clinton’s economic transition team at the start of the administration. Under Reich's leadership, the Labor Department moved forward on several path-breaking initiatives to build the skills of American workers, crack down on unsafe worksites and fraudulent purveyors of pensions and health insurance, and began a national initiative to abolish sweatshops. As secretary, Reich also oversaw the enactment of the Retirement Protection Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and the first increase in the minimum wage since 1989. Reich is the author of 10 books, including The Work of Nations, which has been translated into 22 languages, and The Future of Success, which in 2002 was ranked by BusinessWeek magazine as the number two best-selling business book. He has written more than 200 articles on the global economy, the changing nature of work and the centrality of human capital. In 2004, Reich was named one of America’s three most influential opinion leaders on business and the economy, based on a study by Accenture.

In his presentation, “China, India and the Future of Everything,” Reich describes the fast-paced growth of China and India as the manufacturing and technology centers of the world, respectively, and how that will impact the global economy.

David A. BanmillerPresident and CEO, Aloha Airgroup, Inc. and Aloha Airlines, Inc. Friday, October 13, 12:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. (time reflects entire lunch program)

David Banmiller is president and CEO of Aloha Airgroup, Inc. and Aloha Airlines, Inc., a $450 million diversified aviation services corporation based in Honolulu, Hawaii. Banmiller is a veteran airline executive who has worked for large and small airlines for more than three decades in a career that has spanned the globe. He began on the frontlines as a management trainee for Trans World Airways and has worked in virtually every aspect of the industry -- managing airport and flight operations, maintenance, cargo, passenger service, catering, sales, reservations, pricing, scheduling, planning and finance -- while rising through the executive ranks. He continued his industry work as president and COO of Air Cal, which was acquired by American Airlines. At American, Banmiller was vice president-international division and later served as president and CEO of Sun Jet. He was Air Jamaica’s executive vice president and COO, overseeing all elements of the national carrier’s day-to-day operations. In recent years, Banmiller has become renowned as a turnaround expert. He recently presided over the restructuring of Aloha Airlines, bringing the carrier out of Chapter 11 protection in a little over one year with substantial equity from The Yucaipa Companies and other investors. Prior to that, Banmiller took Sun Country Airlines through a Chapter 11 reorganization as its chairman, president and CEO and sold the company to new ownership. He performed a similar task as president and CEO of Pan American World Airways and sold it to The Mellon Bank family.

Benazir BhuttoFormer Prime Minister of PakistanFriday, October 13, 7:30 p.m. – 9:45 p.m. (time reflects entire dinner program)

Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto tells a dramatic story of democracy and deposal, illustrating tireless strength in her struggles to bring freedom to the people of Pakistan. As the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Bhutto is an icon of the battle for democracy and stands with only a handful of female executive leaders who shaped the global events of the last century. First elected Prime Minister at the age of 35, Bhutto became the youngest chief executive officer in the world and the first female Prime Minister in the Muslim world. After just 20 months in office, her government was unconstitutionally dismissed by a rival political party. Undeterred, she was reelected as Prime Minister in 1993. During her terms of office, Bhutto was faced with an enormous challenge—how to effectively govern a poor, politically fractious and ethnically diverse nation. She was praised for moving swiftly to restore civil liberties and political freedom, and she launched a nationwide program of health and education reform. Although no longer Prime Minister, Bhutto is chairperson of the Pakistan Peoples Party.

Updated September 26, 2006

During her presentation, Bhutto shares her dramatic journey as the youngest ever popularly elected woman in the Muslim world, offering a window into the Muslim world and the epic political power struggles being played out in all corners of the world today.

EDUCATIONAL SESSIONSGENERAL SESSIONFriday, October 13, 11:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.“Wave or Ripple: What Does the Future Hold?”Moderator: John Wm. Butler Jr., Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP

Turnaround professionals around the world report that they can sense the next wave of distressed businesses approaching, but they cannot yet see it nor accurately predict the date of its arrival. While the factors supporting the next wave are easy to enumerate – interest rates, energy prices, the Iraq war, just to name a few – the countervailing forces are more difficult to gauge, such as the unprecedented liquidity in the capital markets. Add in the effects of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCPA) and the growth of second lien positions, and the next wave could be just a ripple. This panel of world-class experts will share with you their views on what the next wave might look like, and when it might arrive.

CONCURRENT SESSION AFriday, October 13, 3:45 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

A1: “Bankruptcy Reform One Year Later: What’s Different?”Moderator: Hon. Robert D. Martin, U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Western District of WisconsinPanel: Harrison J. Goldin, Goldin Associates, LLC; Frank A. Merola, Stutman Triester & Glatt PC; Michael P. Richman, Foley & Lardner LLP; Felicia S. Turner, Office of the U.S. Trustee for Region 20 and 21, U.S. Department of Justice

In October 2005, with great fanfare, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) went into effect. What effect has the provisions of BAPCPA really had? Has the landscape changed for turnaround professionals, attorneys, lenders and investors? Moderated by Judge Robert D. Martin, this panel of legal experts will dissect BAPCPA and analyze decisions since it took effect. Topics for discussion include KERPS, exclusivity, committee responsibilities, small business requirements, critical vendors and reclamation, and the way that the amendments have moved debtors' costs forward and increased cash demands.

A2: “After the Turnaround: Growing Sales and Profitability”Moderator: Luiz Carvalho, Proudfoot ConsultingPanel: Sam Cusano, Friedman’s Jewelers; Pamela Forbes Lieberman; Mohsin Y. Meghji, CTP, Loughlin Meghji + Company; Rebecca A. Roof, AlixPartners, LLC

Updated September 26, 2006

As the liquidity-rich capital markets and pre-election policies buoy the economy, more turnaround firms are diversifying into post-turnaround services such as profit enhancement. What skill sets and competences are necessary to assist a company once the turnaround has taken hold? This panel of experts, whose work involves exactly that, will share their insights.

A3: “Meet the Funds”Moderator: Joseph J. Catalano, Longroad Asset Management LLCPanel: Alexander D. Greene, Brookfield Asset Management; Michael Kalb, Sun Capital Partners Inc.; Edward J. Siskin, Crystal Capital; Derex Walker, The Yucaipa Companies LLC

The capital markets seems awash in liquidity, mostly from funds of every label and description. The distinctions between types of funds appear to be blurring, with some funds providing every type of capital needed—senior debt, second lien and subordinated debt, mezzanine capital, equity, and even "equity lines of credit" that operate like home equity loans that further dilute ownership whenever a check is written. In the next wave of turnarounds, funds will surely change the way corporate renewal is managed and the alternatives and outcomes that are possible. Hear from the funds themselves about what they see ahead and what you should do to prepare.

CONCURRENT SESSION BSaturday, October 14, 8:30 a.m. – 9:45 a.m.

B1: “Real Estate: The Foundation for the Next Wave of Turnarounds?”Moderator: Jordi Guso, Berger Singerman, P.A.Panel: Stephen Bittel, Terranova Corporation; Douglas J. Kroiss, DJM Realty; Glenn J. Rufrano, New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc.; Gregory L. Segall, Chrysalis Capital Partners, L.P.

Is the real estate bubble about to burst? Has it already burst? What role will real estate play in the next wave of turnarounds? This panel of financial and legal experts will examine how conditions in the real estate market are changing and what the implications are for turnarounds where the principal asset is real estate. The panel will also discuss lending and investing opportunities in real estate.

B2: “Strategies for Successfully Acquiring Underperforming and Distressed Automotive Suppliers: The Insiders’ Perspective”Moderator: Donald S. MacKenzie, Conway, MacKenzie & Dunleavy Inc. Panel: Thomas M. Begel, TMB Industries; Michael G. Psaros, KPS Special Situations Funds; Durc Savini, Miller Buckfire & Co., LLC; Shapleigh Smith, CitiGroup

Given the current state of the automotive industry, numerous opportunities exist to acquire and invest in underperforming and distressed automotive suppliers. This panel of automotive industry experts will discuss and debate the investment considerations and pre and post-acquisition metrics and elements that buyers, sellers, intermediaries, lenders and other parties-in-interest focus on when private equity investors acquire automotive suppliers. This panel is essential to any private equity and hedge fund investor, corporate renewal professional, senior secured or subordinate lender and party-in-interest involved in the sale of an underperforming or distressed automotive supplier company.

B3: “Cross-border Reorganizations, Restructurings, Bankruptcies or Insolvencies”Moderator: William E.J. Skelly, Heenan Blaikie LLPPanel: Kolja von Bismarck, Clifford Chance; James Conlan, Sidley Austin LLP; The Honourable James Farley, Judge of the Ontario Superior Court [Retired]; Richard Stables, Lazard; Alan Tilley, Glass Europe

Whatever the name, the reorganization of multi-national companies requires professionals to understand the legal language of multiple countries and converse with local stakeholders and fiduciaries. This esteemed panel of professionals fluent in cross-border reorganizations will address the major restructuring factors for proceedings in America, Europe, Asia and beyond. The panel will also decode various enactments of the “model law” drafted by the UN Commission on International Trade Law and translate recent jurisdictional rulings.

Updated September 26, 2006

CONCURRENT SESSION CSaturday, October 14, 10:00 a.m. – 11:15 a.m.

C1: “International Opportunities”Moderator: Gordon W. Johnson, Kirkland & Ellis LLPConfirmed Panelists: Sumant Batra, Kesar Dass B & Associates. Jorge Queiroz, Brazilian Institute of Corporate Management & Turnaround; Alan C.W. Tang, Grant Thornton, Hong Kong

Today's turnaround opportunities may not all be in Detroit. If Brazil, China and India are taking their places as major players in the world economy, can turnaround professionals and investors be far behind? Kirkland & Ellis' Gordon Johnson, a former World Bank counsel, leads an international panel of experts who've been there and done that. C2: “A Brave New World for Lenders”Moderator: Lawrence A. Marsiello, CIT Group Inc. Panel: Elizabeth Kelley, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A.; Richard Levenson, Bank of America Business Capital; Matthew R. Niemann, CTP, Cerberus Capital Management, L.P.; James H.M. Sprayregen, Goldman Sachs & Co.

Just when you thought you knew the answers, the questions changed! As funds increasingly become providers of debt capital, traditional lenders, both regulated and non-regulated, scramble to meet the shifting requirements of capital markets. Aggressive leverage, vanishing margins and multiple tranches characterize today's lending environment, with a new breed of lenders willing to 'loan to own'. Led by CIT Vice Chairman Larry Marsiello, this panel comprises a range of lenders from bank to fund who will educate you about today's lending realities.

C3: “Rainmaking 101: Marketing and Selling Professional Services” Moderator: Rebecca Baker, Alvarez & Marsal LLCPanel: Lorie Beers, Gordian Group LLC; David Carpenter, Partners for Market Leadership; Alex D. Moglia, Moglia Associates Inc.; Sheila T. Smith, Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP

How do rainmakers do it? They seem to have a never-ending source of new business, as well as new business ideas. In corporate renewal, where there may be few repeat customers, how do you build and sustain a flow of business? And, how do senior marketing managers for professional service firms organize the effort, so that rainmaking can be efficient and effective? Led by Alvarez & Marsal’s Chief Marketing Officer Rebecca Baker, this panel of rainmakers and marketing experts shares their secrets for how you, too, can be a rainmaker!

CONCURRENT SESSION DSaturday, October 14, 11:45 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

D1: “In Your Expert Opinion…”Moderator: Hon. Barbara J. Houser, U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Northern District of TexasPanel: Hon. Rosemary Gambardella, U.S. Bankruptcy Court – District of New Jersey; Hon. Michael G. Williamson; U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Middle District of Florida; Hon. Gregg W. Zive, U.S. Bankruptcy Court – District of Nevada

What makes for an effective expert in litigation, especially in bankruptcy court? What do judges look for when finding facts based upon expert testimony? How can you tell if you would be qualified as an expert? What’s all the focus about Daubert? This all-judge panel, led by Chief Judge Barbara Houser, will bring new meaning to 'candor with the tribunal' and educate attendees on effective expert testimony.

D2: “The Next Wave of Retail Turnarounds: What’s Driving Them and How You Can Capitalize on the Opportunities”Moderator: Benjamin L. Nortman, The Hilco OrganizationPanel: Ivan Friedman, Retail Consulting Services; Robert J. Duffy, FTI Consulting, Inc.; William J. Mayer, Wells Fargo Retail Finance; Ronald R. Sussman, Kronish Lieb Weiner & Hellman LLP

As the economy ebbs and flows, as retailers consolidate, and as a flood of investment capital rushes to acquire retail enterprises, turnaround firms stand to benefit from all the turmoil. What's next for the retail industry and what will the

Updated September 26, 2006

next wave of retail turnarounds look like? This panel of retail industry experts shares their perspectives about what you can expect and how to deal with it. D3: “Leveraging the BrandTM: How Intellectual Property is Changing Turnarounds”Moderator: Kenneth Frieze, Gordon Brothers Group Appraisal and Valuation DivisionPanel: Weston Anson, CONSOR Intellectual Asset Management; Cheryl Hoffman Carner, CapitalSource; Gabriel F. Fried; Craig Hoffman, NexCen Brands

ACTP Advanced Educational SessionThursday, October 12, 4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.$95/person“Avoiding the ‘Why Smart Executives Fail’ Syndrome”Sydney Finkelstein, Ph.D., Tuck School at Dartmouth College

How can leaders avoid falling into the traps that destroy companies and careers? What are the early warning signs for failure? While there are many things that can go wrong in a company, the root causes are often identifiable breakdowns in leadership, strategy, and process. By tracking a key set of leading indicators on a regular basis, those small red flags can be picked up early, while there is still a great chance to avoid the “why smart executives fail” syndrome. Come to this session prepared to look at how and why seemingly great businesses sometimes make dangerous mistakes; how to set up an early warning system in your own organization; and what you can do to identify, avoid and prevent strategic business mistakes. You will leave with an understanding of the flaws in strategic thinking that can lead to a major business breakdown; the seven habits of unsuccessful executives and how to spot them; and how to avoid the major pitfalls that have befallen other companies.

Based on his best-selling book, Why Smart Executives Fail: And What You Can Learn from Their Mistakes, Professor Sydney Finkelstein offers valuable insight for all corporate renewal professionals. Professor Finkelstein is the Steven Roth Professor of Management at the Tuck School at Dartmouth College and the Faculty Director of the flagship Tuck Executive Program. Why Smart Executives Fail is one of seven books that Professor Finkelstein has written. It was one of Fortune’s Best Business Books for Summer 2003 and was an Amazon number-one bestseller in both the United States and Japan.

You must be a registered attendee of the 2006 Annual Convention to attend this session. The CTP designation is not required to attend this session. For more information, contact Laura Ivaldi, TMA Director of Continuing Education Services, at 1-312-242-6030 or livaldi@turnaround.org
