DATE Proposal Page 2 Table of Contents # Table of Contents Page 2 Introduction Page 3 • ISO 9001 Certificate Page 4 • RUS Listing Page 5 Fiber Optic Production Capabilities Page 6-7 • Customer References Page 8 Limited Product Warranty Page 9 Proposal Page 3 INTRODUCTION Located in Florida, NY, Remee Products Corp. is a privately held full line manufacturer of Communications Wire and Fiber Optic Cables. Our Cables are used in local and wide area networks, data communications, video, audio, and security applications. Since its inception in 1972, Remee has grown from a small supplier to $50 million in annual sales. Today, Remee is made up of 150,000 square feet of manufacturing space, four distributions centers throughout the US, and a total of more than 150 employees nationally. Remee has built its business by finding customer solutions, rather than simply manufacturing commodity cables. Our philosophy has been that "The Customer is # 1". We make every attempt to understand your needs and then engineer the cable with you in mind. In 1994, Remee achieved certification as an ISO 9001 manufacturer. A copy of our Certification is enclosed. In addition, Remee is also providing cable to Utility Companies in the region such as Atco Electric, TransAlta, and Northwest Territories. Remee is also familiar with managing and performing large contracts for the Federal Government. Remee has been a lead supplier of communications cable to the United States Government. Since 1999 we have shipped in excess of 170 million feet of cable to the government while consistently exceeding the terms and conditions of our contracts.

The actual amount of cable that can be produced will be dependent upon the fiber count. For example, 30,000 kilometers of fiber would equate to the production of approximately 625 Kilometers of a 48 fiber cable in a month. Remee will provide a production turn around of 2-3 weeks on most, depending upon the total amount of cable ordered. mom Proposal Page 8 Customer References NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Chris Flescher 301286-6504 Fiber Planners Spartanburg, SC Denise Frey 864 268-6255 Lockheed Martin Pittsburg, PA Ed Davies 412 322-3697 Total Telcom, Inc.
