Introduction
Rcrane is pleased to introduce you to our company and our ExoCore concrete building modules (“ExoCore”) ExoCores are concrete building modules that will absolutely
inspire the communities confidence providing maximum life safety to protect Washington’s citizens while also maximizing energy efficiencies
Rcrane, a leading provider of bridge renewal services to class 1 railroads, was the result of our 15 year history building concrete bridge spans and recognizing a need in the market for a superior crane technology to build longer, stronger precast concrete bridges
In parallel to our rail business, we have spent the last 4 years developing Rcrane ExoCores: Leveraging our knowledge of precast concrete Building RCXX3 – the enabling crane for erection of ExoCores Building relationships with partners that share our passion for a
home that delivers maximum life safety and energy efficiency while keeps costs of ownership in-line with traditional construction
We are currently working to bring ExoCores to the Washington market and are reviewing assembly locations within the town of Washington
Executive Summary Agenda
Rcrane is passionate about the positive impact ExoCores can have on the town of Washington

Rcrane & RCXX1 - Serving Class 1 Railroads
RCXX1 is the safest, fastest, easiest way to replace bridge and track panels. Our class 1 railroad customers require highly technical and trusted competency
Patented Rail-Mounted Dual Gantry Crane – RCXX1

Rcrane Introduction
One Trip RenewalDescription
Deliver new bridge/track
Remove old bridge/track
Dispose old bridge/track
Install new bridge/track
Rcrane is a series of 10 rail cars that operate together seamlessly to complete bridge span change outs in one trip
The center component, Rcrane, with dual 40 ton hoists, operates directly over the bridge being placed
Rflats, 8 in total, each 89 feet in length with 75 ton capacity are used for material staging, transport, installation and removal
Rmules, 2 sets in total, traverse on Rflats in guide rails to transfer materials car to car and into and out of Rcrane
Final car, C Deck, houses spare parts and components as well as an 80 kilowatt, 480 volt generator that powers the entire system

“ExoCore”Enabled by RCXX3
• ExoCore concrete building modules will combine the benefits of modular construction in an indoor environment together with the life safety and energy efficiency of precast concrete
• ExoCore homes and commercial buildings will be highly customizable
• Assembly of the home will take place right in Washington with hometown skilled labor

Home is staged and prepared for shipment to construction site
60 - 90% of home finished in manufacturing plant
Overview of Modular “Stick” Construction
Building under controlled plant conditions shortens project construction time. Generally less costly than traditional stick construction
Modular Construction Review Modular Construction in Practice
Assembly and any final/minimal finish work done on-site
Cranes used to lift pieces from flatbed truck onto foundation for
assembly
Strengths of Modular Construction
Shortcomings of Modular Construction
Materials are safely and securely stored indoors to prevent damage or deterioration from moisture
Construction of modular buildings can occur simultaneously with the site and foundation work, so projects can be completed 30% to 50% sooner
60 - 90% of the construction is completed inside a factory, which mitigates the risk of weather delays
Generally cost less than traditional construction
The indoor construction environment reduces the risks of accidents and related liabilities for workers
× More limited design and customization abilities versus traditional stick housing
× Perceived lack of strength and durability, albeit likely in disagreement with modular contractors
× No meaningful improvement in energy efficiency or air tightness

Overview of Precast Concrete Wall and Floor Panels
Significant benefits of precast concrete construction – but slightly more expensive than traditional stick construction
Precast Concrete Results in Additional Benefits Precast Concrete in Practice
Custom home – precast outer walls. Interior construction done on site –
more expensive than traditional home

Energy Efficiency
Life Safety
Sustainability
Double wall, compromised of 2 layers of pre stressed concrete that surround factory installed insulation
Air tight with high R-value insulation (R-21 to R-49) May incorporate radiant floor heating, high velocity
cooling, geothermal systems and Low-E glass windows and doors
Protection from the forces of nature best achieved with concrete based systems
Precast concrete wall panels give highest degree of safety from fire, hurricane and tornado force winds
Select precast rated at up to F5 tornado (200 mph)
Homes will last for centuries, not just decades and will require minimal maintenance
Recycled content within precast can reach as high as 40%
Higher R-values with lower lumber costs

Assembly Plant Partner
After 4 years development, Rcrane is moving swiftly to provide Washington its highly engineered ExoCore concrete building cores
Reception to ExoCores has been extremely positive in the Washington community thus far
Washington represents the ideal location for ExoCores Extreme weather patterns increasing Hometown pride and sense of community – people don’t want to
relocate but desire safety for their families Hot summers and cold winters will maximize the energy efficiency
opportunities of ExoCores Will help to rebuild the community with homes that will withstand
nature and inspire confidence from the safety ExoCores provide
Currently speaking to potential partners to locate our assembly plant
Our mission in Washington is not to maximize profit Provide life safety and energy efficiency, introduce ExoCores, provide
skilled jobs to local community, inspire confidence to rebuild
Seeking a partner with vacant space to donate or provide at lowest possible cost Flexible pay structure to allow for payments once cash flow positive, a
humanitarian effort in which once breakeven will be profitable together
Seeking a Washington Assembly Plant Select Washington Progress to Date
Washington is the ideal location to introduce ExoCores to America
Competed initial discussions with Washington building inspectors with positive receptivity
Competed initial discussions with local insurance agents with wide coverage responsibility with positive receptivity
