Abstract: A sliding truck bed platform to assist one or more individuals with unloading one or more items from a truck bed of a pick-up truck. The sliding truck bed platform includes a planar base that is bendable and is configured to pull out of the truck bed. The sliding truck bed platform also includes a coating on an underside surface of the planar base, such as to reduce friction when the sliding truck bed platform is pulled out from the truck bed. The sliding truck bed platform additionally includes a plurality of cutout handles disposed on the planar base with which the sliding truck bed platform is controlled.

Abstract: A Brownfields investment vehicle, and a system and method for investing in Brownfields projects are provided that are capable of supporting a Brownfields project, while reducing the investors' exposure to the associated environmental liability. The Brownfields fund makes, for example, participating capital investments, each of which may be in the form of a tranched or untranched Brownfields Value Contract (“BVC”) to a “special purpose vehicle” for a specific Brownfields project according to fund investment criteria determined by a fund manager. Each capital investment, or a portion thereof may be secured with a lien on the future cash flows and/or a portion or all of a Brownfields associated with the project. An investor's exposure to environmental liability from the projects is reduced, because the fund is completely passive with respect to the projects, despite the existence of liens on at least some of the capital investments provided by the Brownfields fund.

Abstract: A Brownfields investment vehicle, and a system and method for investing in Brownfields-related projects are provided that are capable of supporting all aspects of a Brownfields remediation/development/redevelopment project, while shielding investors from environmental liability. The Brownfields fund makes, for example, non-recourse, participating capital investments or Brownfields Value Contracts (“BVC”) to a number of “special purpose vehicles” for specific Brownfields projects according to fund investment criteria determined by a fund manager. An investor's risk of incurring environmental liability is substantially reduced by providing that the Brownfields fund is completely passive with respect to the Brownfields project, taking no security or mortgage interest in the Brownfields.
