it has delivered its 1000th Automated Gate System (AGS) Kiosk to
Norfolk Southern Railway (''NS'') for immediate installation at Norfolk

Charlotte Headquarters on Friday, December 5, 2014, Fabio Teti, NASCENT
President and CEO presented the kiosk to Norfolk Southern. “We’re honored today to be handing off our
1000th AGS kiosk to NS. NS
presented us with our first railroad opportunity in 2002, and we’ve enjoyed a
long and mutually rewarding relationship since then,” stated Teti. “Not only does this mark a tremendous
milestone for our company, but having the kiosk so close to our corporate
headquarters will act as a constant reminder of the advances we’ve been able to
accomplish over the years. Intermodal
transportation is a vital part of our country’s economy and a cornerstone of
consumer goods traffic. I’m privileged
to say that NASCENT has played a pivotal role in advancing the performance of
Intermodal operations and that we’ll continue to work with forward-thinking
companies like NS to effect continuous improvement throughout the industry,”
added Teti.

Shortly after presenting the commemorative
plaques, during a very moving part of the ceremony, Fabio Teti explained the
reasoning behind the 1000
th AGS kiosk nickname, “Jimmy”. “We wanted to honor a person that was an
industry pioneer, a colleague, and a friend.,” “We’ve named this important
kiosk Jimmy in memory of James Z. Peepas; the man that introduced us to NS and
the railroad part of the industry. He
was relentless in his pursuit of a working NS-NASCENT relationship. Unfortunately, he passed away before he had a
chance to see his vision become reality”, concluded Teti. A crystal commemorative plaque engraved with
the words, “
Dedicated in honor of James
Z. Peepas, an Intermodal Industry Pioneer.
His tireless dedication to improving the intermodal industry resulted in
the introduction of NASCENT to the railroad sector” was presented to Mr.
James Shondel, grandson of James Peepas and CEO of Remprex, who received it on
behalf of his grandfather.
