          PROTONEX awarded $1.49 MILLION CONTRACT EXTENSION BY US ARMY 
 
DATELINE: SOUTHBOROUGH, MA;Protonex Technology Corporation (LSE: AIM: PTX and 
PTXU), a leading provider of advanced fuel cell power systems, today announces 
that it has received an incremental $1.49 million contract award from the U.S. 
Army CECOM to deliver additional advanced portable battery charger / APU fuel 
cell products.  This follows the US Army CECOM's decision to exercise an option 
in its original contract with the Company which was announced on 20 January 
2010. 
 
This award increases the total funded value of the overall contract to $3.34 
million and additional options remain within the contract which, if awarded, 
could increase the total value of the contract to $6.4 million. 
 
Under the terms of this eight-month, phase two program, Protonex is expected to 
deliver 30 additional portable battery charger / APU products to the U.S. Army 
for field use.  The M250-CX units will include all of the next-generation 
improvements developed during the phase one program, which include increased 
power output, further integrated battery management and charging capabilities, 
additional ruggedisation and reduced overall size and weight. 
 
Commenting on the news, Greg Cipriano, Vice President, Marketing & Military 
Development at Protonex said: 
"This additional phase two program is another important milestone for Protonex 
as our M250-CX power systems move closer to deploying to our U.S. soldiers.  We 
are excited about delivering on our first low volume order for the M250-CX, one 
of the Company's flagship military products." 
 
Protonex' M250-CX system is a lightweight, 250-watt portable power system 
designed to meet the stringent demands of a wide range of military battery 
charging and auxiliary power unit applications.  The unique design combines 
advances in fuel cell energy conversion and battery charging technology into one 
complete product solution to provide military battery charging and 28V auxiliary 
power with extremely low weight, noise, and thermal signature.
