WHEREAS, BPI is a research and development company which as developed certain
proprietary technologies for use in lead-acid batteries, (hereinafter
referred to as the "BPI Technology") and BPI claims this Technology to be
proprietary, confidential, and valuable; and

WHEREAS, PTI is a publicly-traded company which desires to evaluate the BPI
Technology as part of its due diligence in contemplation of acquiring BPI; and

WHEREAS, BCR is an R&D laboratory employed by PTI, and PTI desires to have

WHEREAS, BPI is willing to provide PTI/BCR with limited access to BPI
Technology for the sole and exclusive purpose of enabling PTI/BCR to evaluate
certain BPI Technology;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual
covenants contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.  METHOD OF EVALUATION

    PTI/BCR shall evaluate the performance of BPI's paste technology by
    testing cells fabricated by BPI, using BPI's paste on standard grids and
    lead-foam.  The procedure and method of fabrication and test shall be
    identical to those described in BPI's recent paper, "Increasing the
    Specific Energy of Deep-Cycle VRLA Batteries by Improving
    Material-Utilization Efficiencies", presented at the 16th Annual Battery
    Conference on Applications and Advances.

    The evaluation procedure shall consist of the following six steps:

    (1) BPI will past grids and foam using BPI's proprietary paste "C"
    formulations.  PTI/BCR may observe the pasting of grids and foam, and
    assembly of cells, and make all measurements necessary to obtain or
    confirm the necessary weight and thickness parameters of the pasted grids.

    (2) BPI will assemble a minimum of three cells each using the "C" paste
    on grids, paste "C" on foam, and also three control cells using Powersonic's
    standard pre-pasted grids. PTI/BCR may observe cell assembly, addition of
    electrolyte, etc., and may mark or identify the cell assemblies in any
    manner.

    (3) BPI will form the cells using BPI's proprietary formation method, and
    PTI/BCR may observe the formation process at anytime.

    (4) Upon completion of formation, BPI will conduct a series of
    conditioning and discharge tests,

<PAGE>

    which PTI/BCR may observe at anytime. Upon completion BPI shall deliver
    to PTI/BCR the results of these initial discharge tests.

    (5) Upon completion of the initial tests, BPI shall deliver a minimum of
    six test cells to PTI/BCR for independent testing, together with BPI's
    proprietary recharge method.

    (6) PTI/BCR shall test BPI's cells and provide BPI with copies of all raw
    test data.  PTI/BCR shall return the test cells to BPI, intact and unopened,
    within 30 days.  BPI will dismantle the cells and re-weigh the grids and
    active materials and PTI/BCR may observe.

2.  NON-USE

    PTI/BCR agrees not to use BPI Technology for any purpose whatsoever,
    other than the evaluation of Technology.  PTI/BCR explicitly agrees not to
    manufacture or test cells or batteries using any or all of BPI's Technology.
    PTI/BCR agrees not to conduct any independent R&D using any or all BPI
    Technology.

    PTI/BCR agrees not to disclose BPI's Technology to any other
    organization, or to any individual which is not a director of PTI/BCR and
    then only to the extent reasonably necessary to assist PTI/BCR in the
    evaluation, and PTI/BCR further agrees and warrants that any disclosure will
    be made only to those individuals who have entered into a written agreement
    with PTI/BCR, with such agreement providing BPI at least the same degree of
    protection as provided herein.  PTI/BCR agrees not to publish any papers,
    reports, or announcements regarding PTI/BCR evaluation of BPI Technology,
    nor respond to inquiries by third parties, except with express written
    permission of BPI.

4.  DEFINITION OF TECHNOLOGY

    regarding BPI's paste and its use, including but not limited to, raw
    materials, material specifications, processes for preparation and
    application (onto battery plates), formation, recharge, performance, test
    results, recipes, and like information.  Technology may or may not be
    patented by BPI; or may be licensed to BPI.  Technology may be disclosed
    by written specifications, recipes, instruction, drawings, charts, and
    graphs; or orally by technical briefings, explanations, phone
    conversations, and the like; or by demonstration of processes and
    materials; or by providing samples of materials.  Technology shall also
    include any information obtained by PTI/BCR from third sources, including
    (for example) analytical laboratories, contact or discussion with BPI's
    suppliers or customers.  BPI Technology shall not include information
    which, at the time of disclosure, is in the public domain or which, after
