2 Who we are Focus areas for success PAGE 2 Exclusive provider of Molecular Rebar nanotube systems to the global defense industry Applications developed in-house as well as through Black Diamond Systems, JV between MRD and Sabic Molecular Rebar Design minority stakeholder and development partner Focused exclusively on existing products & contracts and DOD lab directed initiatives Segments including Energy Storage (Lead Acid / Lithium) Coatings Advanced Polymer Systems High value Rubber Systems EMI Composites

3 The Problem We Solve Unlocking the potential in nanotubes PAGE 3 The Early Days Potential Recognized The Problem Micron Sized Bundles / Clumping Since 1991: Multiple companies types, same problems Micron sized clumps Hard to integrate Utilized in lower value applications Key to unlock potential is ability to utilize discrete tubes

4 The Key Competitive Advantage The Creation & Utilization of Discrete Nano-Sized Tubes PAGE 4 Purchase of MWCNT s Detangle Formulate - Disperse Master Batch - Concentrate Customer Integration into endproduct Clumps of entangled CNT s Clean, discrete carbon nanotubes - MR MR in Lead Paste

5 Why Molecular Rebar is Different The Unique Benefits PAGE 5 Material Properties Transport Properties Electromagnetic Fields Cracking improved >50% Tear resistance >50% Adhesion >40% Heat, Electrical, Ion, & Molecular transport Drastic improvements in batteries Lifetime up to 500% Charge Acceptance up to 400% Energy Density up to 20% Ability to provide system solution vs additive (traditional CNT) Controlled reflection & absorption Broad range of fabrication possible

6 Lead Acid Batteries Integrating Molecular Rebar Charge Acceptance Cycle Life PAGE 6 Increase of 200% - 400% Increased Energy Efficiency Increased cold weather performance Enables Partial State of Charge operations Expands application areas Increase of 300% - 500% (harsh condition testing) Potential for significant reduction in battery systems cost for military applications due to expanded applications Manufacturer Benefits Enables manufacturing process savings Simple integration into existing processes Increases existing capacity Accelerates market adoption due to integration into existing systems

21 Gassing Study Summary PAGE 21 After completing the reserve capacity and cranking performance tests, condition charge in accordance with TLP Add make-up water as required. Leak test the battery at 2 psi per cell to verify the absence of leaks. Place battery in circulating water bath maintained at 125 F ± 2 F (51.7 C ± 1.1 C). Hook up battery to gassing apparatus and verify that there are no leaks Apply a 14.1 ±.01V charging voltage to a 12 volt battery (7.05 ±0.05V for 6 volt batteries) for 16 to 18 hours After this period continue charging the battery at the specified voltage, maintaining the temperature at 125 F ± 1 F (51.7 C ±.6 C) for 4 hours. During the last 30 minutes measure the gasses evolved in an inverted burette from at the least three cells. If the battery had a manifold venting system that connects several cells to one common outlet, then the 30 minute time will be divided by the number of cells that are being measured. After at least 30 minutes stop collecting the gasses from the cells and seal the curette to maintain the amount of collected gas. Record the time in minutes if it differs from 30 minutes. Equalize the pressure in the curette by removing the collection flask from the holder and moving it to the level of the liquid in the curette. Record this value for each cell.
