1 Shaped-beam Technology™ from brightLeaf the Power of simplicity

2 Concentrating Photovoltaics (CPV): A Sound Legacy Developed for NASA in the mid-1970’s by Sandia Labs and Spectrolab (a Boeing Subsidiary). CPV cell efficiency>40%, going to 50% in next year. Conventional PV efficiency declines 15-30% on hot sunny afternoon, CPV 5-10%. Reduces chip volume by 99.7-99.9%. brightLeaf’s proprietary technology minimizes CPV complexity and cost with maximum efficiency.

3 Compare Traditional PV and CPV = CPV PV

4 The Power of 1000 suns? W/in² of exhaust W/in² on brightLeaf’s cell =

5 Parabolic Collectors

6 Fresnel lens collectors

7 Only Two Functional Parts brightLeaf’s proprietary technology: Non-parabolic Collector

8 brightLeaf’s proprietary technology: Auto-aligning geometry

9 brightLeaf’s proprietary technology: No Gaps, No Shadows™ Sun-eye view

10 Greater Complexity = Greater Co$t

11 The Potential of CPV and Shaped- Beam Technology™ Industry-wide –Cell efficiency will reach 50% in near term brightLeaf –Independent tracking modules for flexible configuration –Generate power from waste heat Goal -- Cost parity with utility electricity without government support

12 Executive Team Douglas Kiesewetter, MBA – President –Founder of three companies of >$100 MM valuation, two >$50 MM James Vander Mey, PhD – EVP/CTO –Founded two successful high-tech companies, Integral Data Systems and Intellon, which sold in 2009 for >$300 million Michael Despres – VP Manufacturing –25+ years experience in metal fabrication management John Virden – VP Sales and Marketing –USNA graduate with 25+ years of marketing experience including IBM, AT&T and various start-ups

13 PV Market 2009 Global $40 BN; US $3+ BN 2010 US expected growth rate >50% US residences are 25-30% of total PV market US Markets with shortest paybacks –Quality of Insolation- AZ, CA, CO, HI, NV –State Incentives- CT, IN, MA, NJ, NY

14 Market Strategy Maximum Cost Avoidance –Residential, Light Commercial & Industrial –Rural Electric Co-ops –Niches »Military »Remote Telecoms »Agriculture »Third World

15 Competition All other CPV companies target 1+ MW utility-grade installations Conventional PV –brightLeaf 20-25% lower cents/kwh initially; 60-80% lower with higher manufacturing volumes Utilities –With credits & rebates, brightLeaf lower cost in 75% of US –Within 2 years, brightLeaf lower cost without subsidies

16 Base Case Revenue & Income Manufacturing Margins 70-75% YearVolumeRevenueNet After-tax Income (MW)($ MM) 20100.1$0.8($2.0) 20110.9$8.0$0.3 20122.3$18.8$3.4 20135.1$39.5$12.3 201410.5$75.0$27.8 201518.6$124.0$46.1

17 Investment $3 MM of 5-year,12% debentures ($100K min. block) Projected Closing Date September 30, 2010 Warrants for 25% equity when principal fully repaid Projected Secondary Offering after full year of profitability -- fund product and market development -- repay debentures -- establish higher equity valuation

18 Return (Base Case) Simple Payout – 24 Months Internal Rate of Return – 108.77% 5.5 Yr. Cash on Cash Return – $35:1

19 Downside Protection Asset Support –Cash Balances –Equipment (85% of cost) –Accounts Receivable (75% face value) –Inventory (25% of cost) Value of Asset Support (Base Case) -- Average coverage years one & two – 78% of net investment –Maximum exposure 2010-12 – 44% of net investment -- Coverage >100% of net invested from Q1 2012 forward -- Term of Exposure – 20 months
