customers. For the last 3 months, several of our prestigious customers have been using the system and their enthusiasm is ever growing.“

A Revolutionary German Automotive Technology

• Snipptec, a German automotive materials science specialist, has developed unique systems to improve the performance of engines and tires:

• Snipptec for Engines: enables a cleaner, more efficient combustion, thereby:

Reducing fuel consumption by 5 to 12% Decreasing emissions Extending engine life Lowering maintenance expenses (air and oil filters) Improving engine performance

• Snipptec for Tires: reduces the effects of tire deformation while driving, thereby:

Increasing rolling distance by 9 to 13% (which leads to fuel savings of 2-4%) Improving grip and braking – and therefore safety Extending tire life (30% tire wear reduction observed in racing cars)

• Snipptec‘s systems deliver an average return on the investment within one year, taking into account fuel savings alone (See payback calculations for details)

• FEP Technologies is the exclusive distributor in the Americas for SnipptecTESTIMONIAL: Thomas Jakstadt (Renault and Volvo Truck Dealerships Owner) - “A significantly improved engine reaction time, measurably increased acceleration and a low fuel consumption convinced me that I had made the right choice.”

Snipptec’s systems are well established in Europe, where they have been successfully adopted by thousands of truck and car fleets, as well as championship winning racing teams.

TESTIMONIAL: Omnibus Karrie Gmbh (Bus Operator) - “8% fuel savings across the fleet, noticeably improved reaction and much smoother vehicle operations completely convinced us with regards to the system.”

Systemerklärung

• When two or more materials move in close proximity to the other(s), electrostatic or electromagnetic fields are created. This can be easily demonstrated by quickly running an inflated balloon near a wall - electrostatic force is created, and the balloon sticks to the wall due to friction and resistance

• In engines, the electromagnetic fields created by the moving parts produce resistance that causes an inefficient airstream and fuel flow. These electron-charged fields also contribute to the formation of “large molecule clusters” in the fuel, which are more difficult to break down during combustion. All of this leads to an inefficient combustion, which in turn results in less-than-optimal engine performance, higher fuel consumption and more harmful emissions

• Snipptec has developed a proprietary technology that acts to minimize unwanted electromagnetic fields at the (i) air intake of an engine’s combustion chamber, (ii) the fuel line and (iii) the battery

How It Works – Snipptec For Engines

TESTIMONIAL: Hasenschar Transporte - “I’ve now been using the system for 4 months across my truck fleet and am completely sold on it. I save 3.5 lts of diesel/100km, and pulling power increased significantly, resulting in less gear shifting.”

Snipptec modules

The Snipptec modules convert electromagnetic fields and send them back to the engine

Converted fields cancel out or significantly reduce the original electromagnetic fields

• The Snipptec system absorbs the electromagnetic fields, repolarizes them and sends them back into the engine, effectively canceling out most of the electron-charged fields. A similar concept is used in noise-cancelling headphones

• The reduction in the electron-charged fields around the engine leads to the optimization of the combustion – causing the engine to perform better, burn less fuel and enjoy a longer life with reduced maintenance costs and emissions

• Rolling resistance is composed of the energy loss created by the deflection of the tire sidewall and the compression and deformation of the tire tread at the road surface. It accounts for up to 20% of a car’s and 35% of a truck’s fuel consumption

• By reducing the electromagnetic fields created between the tire and the road when driving, the Snipptec tire/rim module allows for a quicker return, under dynamic pressure, to the tire’s original shape. The tire tread elements returning quickly to their original shape act like little springs propelling the tire in the direction that it is rolling – reducing rolling resistance and therefore improving fuel efficiency

• The quicker return to a tire’s original shape also leads to better handling and less heat generation. These lower temperatures result in slower tire degradation and longer life

How It Works – Snipptec For Tires

Systemerklärung

The Snipptec technology:

• Provides a return on investment within one year, on average – taking into account fuel savings alone (see payback calculation for details)

• Is universally applicable, regardless of vehicle/engine/tire manufacturer

• Can be transferred from one vehicle to another (so that your investment is not stranded upon the purchase of a new car, truck or bus)

• Is easy to install (10-15 minutes for cars; 30-45 minutes for trucks and buses)

• Does not interfere with existing engine mechanics and electronics• Engine integrity is maintained• System works within the framework of

statutory warranty guidelines

Snipptec – The Right Investment For Your Fleet

TESTIMONIAL: Erik Meyer, Data Engineer – Frikadelli Racing Team - “The optimization of the motor resulted in a better acceleration and a higher average speed on the straight parts of the race track. In addition, we were able to measure fuel savings of approximately 0.8 liters per 25km. Through the optimization of the chassis [Snipptec’s tire modules], average

speed in slow and mid speed bends increased. Lateral acceleration increased by up to 0.35G!”

Exhibit 3 – Client Testimonials

From fleet owners and operators, to truck dealers and racing teams, the customer reviews are unanimous: Snipptec's technology produces real

results and delivers great value.

Client Testimonials – Fleet OwnersHasenschar Transporte“A Mercedes Benz dealer which uses the system himself, alerted me to Snipptec. Since the system does not interfere with the engine mechanics and electronics, and its effects can be easily demonstrated in a simple test drive, I decided to set up a meeting with Snipptec. I immediately realized that this system must indeed generate diesel fuel savings. On a test course with an incline, I was able to drive in 1 gear higher and I lost less speed. During each drive we used cruise control to assure constant conditions. I have now been using the system for 4 months across my truck fleet and am completely sold on it. I save 3.5 liters of diesel per 100km, and pulling power increased significantly, resulting in less gear shifting.”

Omnibus Karrie Gmbh (Bus Operator)“8% fuel savings across the fleet, noticeably improved reaction and much smoother vehicle operations completely convinced us with regards to the system. The flexibility and professionalism of Snipptec underscores their competence – we are more than enthusiastic.”

Lipps Mineralöle GmbH“We have been customers from the start after another company alerted us to this new technology. The change in driving dynamics and fuel savings demonstrated by Snipptec convinced us. We have now equipped our entire fleet (cars and trucks) with the system. In addition, we intend to utilize 70% of the [installed] Snipptec system from retired vehicle in new vehicles. The sustainability and high customer service quality of Snipptec speaks for the company.”

Client Testimonials – DealershipsThomas Jakstadt, Owner of Renault and Volvo Trucks Dealerships“After initially being skeptical about the system, I quickly understood which revolutionary invention this must be, if the promised results were even close to being achieved. During my visit to Lippstadt [location of Snipptec] , the system was installed into my Volvo XC60. On my return drive, I felt like I was driving a totally different car. A significantly improved engine reaction time, measurably increased acceleration and a low fuel consumption convinced me that I had made the right choice. After the Snipptec system had achieved such noticeable improvements in my car, I simply had to test what the system would do in my trucks. We conducted a test drive with a fully loaded 4 axle truck (44 ton Volvo). Afterwards the truck was equipped with the system. Measurements during the test drive and after the installation, and the new driving experience were impressive. Despite bad weather and traffic conditions (27 degrees Fahrenheit and snow showers, 5 additional stops), the board computer was able to measure fuel savings of 1.5l/100km. The noticeable increase in average speed from 50.6 km/h to 54.7 km/h (31.6 mph to 34.2 mph) despite the additional 5 stops, and the much quieter engine convinced us. The automatic gear system shifts smoother and less often. The overall noise level of the engine was noticeably reduced.”

Rainer Kötter, Head of Customer Service – Mercedes-Benz“Through the recommendation of one of our coach clients, we became aware of Snipptec. Since the functionality [of the Snipptec system] is difficult to grasp, we decided to test the system on our own vehicles first. The board computers across our fleet were able to measure fuel savings of 8%. Given this result, we now feel comfortable recommending the Snipptec system to our customers. For the last 3 months, several of our prestigious customers have been using the system and their enthusiasm is ever growing.“

Client Testimonials – Racing TeamsSabine Schmitz, Professional Race Car Driver – Frikadelli Racing Team“My first contact with Snipptec occurred at the VLN (Association of Nürburgring Endurance Cup Organisers). The guys from Snipptec had been working on the [Porsche] GT3 R all day when I was allowed to move the car for the first time. Until then, I did not really have a good understanding of what they were planning to do. “This is not a race car, this is a space shuttle” and “Give me a 7th gear” were my first spontaneous comments via radio to the box, when I drove the car. Now that Snipptec has also modified the [Porsche] GT3 RS, driving the Döttinger Höhe at 300km/h [188 mph] is no problem! In addition, I can now get an extra round out of a full tank!” Click here for a race video (the car she is driving has Snipptec technology installed)

Erik Meyer, Data Engineer – Frikadelli Racing Team“At the beginning of the year, I got introduced to the Snipptec system. One by one, the individual system components were installed into the vehicle. Each component delivered measurable results for the Frikadelli Porsche (911 GT3 R). The optimization of the motor resulted in a better acceleration and a higher average speed on the straight parts of the race track. In addition, we were able to measure fuel savings of approximately 0.8 liters per 25km. Through the optimization of the chassis [Snipptec’s tire modules], average speed in slow and mid speed bends increased. Lateral acceleration increased by up to 0.35G! After another optimization of the aerodynamics, speed in fast bends increased and lateral acceleration improved by up to 0.3G.”

Daniel Hentschel, European Superkart Champion 2010-2013“My first contact with the Snipptec system occurred in 2009. The initial results surprised me. In prior years, I had already competed successfully among the top third of the Supercart series. In 2010 I was able to benefit from the full system and became the superior European Champion of the “European Superkart Series”. A recent result from the racing weekend in the Lausitz shows the superiority of the Snipptec system. I was able to achieve a new lap record. A time of 1:43.774 means that I was exactly 1.8 seconds faster than the rest of the field.”
