(a)	a bill of sale and assignment in respect of the Assets substantially in the form of Schedule 7.2(b) attached hereto;

(b)	a certificate dated the Closing Date, confirming that all of the representations and warranties of the Vendor contained in this Agreement are true as of the Closing Date, with the same effect as though made on and as of the Closing Date;

(d)	such further and other documentation as is referred to in this Agreement or as the Purchaser may reasonably require to give effect to this Agreement.

Section 7.4 Purchaser’s Acknowledgement

The Purchaser acknowledges that the Vendor is selling the Assets pursuant to the Vendor’s powers as authorized by the Appointment Order and the Approval and Vesting Order. The Purchaser agrees to accept a conveyance of the Assets pursuant to the Appointment Order and the Approval and Vesting Order.

Section 7.5 Possession of Assets

(1) The Vendor and/or the Debtor shall remain in possession of the Assets until the Time of Closing. Title to and risk of loss of the Assets shall pass to the Purchaser at the Time of Closing and the Vendor shall, at the Purchaser’s expense, ship the Assets to the Purchaser’s address specified in Section 8.2. The Vendor will deliver physical possession of the Assets to the Purchaser at such address, all at the Purchaser’s expense, as the Purchaser may reasonably request. In no event shall the Assets be sold, assigned, transferred or set over to the Purchaser until the conditions set out in the Appointment Order and the Approval and Vesting Order have been satisfied and the Purchaser has satisfied all delivery requirements outlined in Section 7.2.

(2) The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and save the Vendor and any and all of its predecessors, affiliated and related companies and subsidiaries and their directors, officers,

employees and agents, both past and present, and each of them (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all actions, causes of action, claims and demands for damages, loss or injury arising out of, or in any way relating to, the said shipment of the Assets (collectively, the “Claims”). If section 182 of the ETA applies to any amount paid by the Purchaser to any of the Releasees, those amounts shall be increased so that the Releasees receive the same net amounts, after deducting GST deemed collected, that they would have received had that legislative provision not applied. This indemnity shall extend, without limitation, to reasonable expenses of investigation and legal fees and expenses in connection with any Claims. The Purchaser shall indemnify the Releasees within five (5) Business Days of written notice by the Vendor or another Releasee to the Purchaser of any such amount requiring indemnification. This indemnity shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement and shall survive the closing and completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser hereby irrevocably releases, acquits and forever discharges the Releasees from any and all Claims that the Purchaser may have against any one or more of the Releasees and represents and warrants that it will not under any circumstances assign any Claim to another person. The Purchaser shall not make any claim or take any proceeding against any person which might claim contribution or indemnity against the Releasees under any statute or otherwise under law.

Section 7.6 Access to Assets and Operations Prior to Closing

The Vendor agrees to permit the Purchaser to have reasonable access to the Assets during normal business hours prior to the Time of Closing for the purpose of enabling the Purchaser to conduct such inspections of the Assets as it deems appropriate. The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and save the Debtor and the Vendor harmless from and against all claims, demands, losses, actions and costs incurred or arising from or in any way directly related to the inspection of the Assets or the attendance of the Purchaser, its employees or agents at the Debtor’s Premises.

Section 7.7 Access to Debtor’s Premises

Upon the signing of this Agreement, the Vendor shall arrange for the Purchaser to have access to the Debtor’s Premises for the sole purpose of preparing, packaging and loading the Assets for shipment to the Purchaser’s address specified in Section 8.2. The Purchaser shall ensure that the Inventory included in the Assets is prepared, packaged and loaded for shipment as soon as possible after Closing using commercially reasonable efforts, but in no event later than 10 Business Days after the Closing Date. The Purchaser agrees that it shall vacate the Debtor’s Premises not later than 21 days following the Closing Date. The Purchaser agrees that it shall maintain with a recognized insurance carrier adequate insurance in respect of the Purchaser’s access to the Debtor’s Premises during the period of such access, and shall leave the Debtor’s Premises in a broom swept and clean condition and in no worse state of repair than as of the date of Closing (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and shall be responsible for all costs of clean-up of the Debtor’s Premises. The Purchaser shall pay to the Vendor on Closing an occupancy fee in the amount of CAD$1,300.00 per day on account of all rental and occupancy costs of the Vendor in respect of the Debtor’s Premises during the period between the Closing Date and the date on which the Purchaser vacates the Debtor’s Premises. The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and save the Debtor and the Vendor harmless from and against all claims, demands, losses, actions and costs incurred or arising from or in any way directly related to the occupancy of the Debtor’s

Premises by the Purchaser, its employees or agents, or the removal of Assets from the Debtor’s Premises by the Purchaser, its employees or agents.

Section 7.8 Risk

The Assets shall be and remain at the risk of the Debtor and/or Vendor until Closing and at the risk of the Purchaser from and after Closing. If, prior to Closing, the Assets shall be substantially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, then, at its option, the Purchaser may decline to complete the Transaction. Such option shall be exercised within ten (10) days after notification to the Purchaser by the Vendor of the occurrence of damage or destruction (or prior to the Closing Date if such occurrence takes place within ten (10) days of the Closing Date) in which event this Agreement shall be terminated automatically and the Purchaser shall be entitled only to a return of the Deposit paid under Section 3.5(1)(a) with interest but without any other compensation. If the Purchaser does not exercise such option, it shall complete the Transaction and shall be entitled to an assignment of the proceeds of insurance referable to such damage or destruction. Where any damage is not substantial, the Purchaser shall complete the Transaction and shall be entitled to an assignment of the proceeds of insurance referable to such damage provided that such damage is insured or, otherwise, to an abatement. If any dispute arises under this Section 7.8 as to whether damage or destruction is substantial or with respect to the amount of any abatement, such dispute will be determined in accordance with Section 7.9.

Section 7.9 Arbitration

If any dispute arises under 0 as to any adjustment of the Purchase Price, or Section 7.8 as to whether damage or destruction is substantial or with respect to the amount of any abatement, such dispute will be determined by an arbitrator mutually acceptable to the parties. If the parties fail to agree on an arbitrator, either may, after such party has notified the other of such failure to agree, give notice to the other party that it wishes to submit the dispute to arbitration by a single arbitrator in accordance with the International Commercial Arbitration Act (Ontario). The decision of the arbitrator which shall be final and binding on the parties shall be made as soon as possible following the arbitrator’s appointment. The fees and expenses of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties. If an arbitration proceeding is commenced prior to the Closing Date, the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to the date which is four (4) Business Days from the date of the decision of the arbitrator.

Section 7.10 Termination

If either the Purchaser or Vendor validly terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.4, or if the Offer is not accepted on or before May 6, 2009, then:

(a)	all the obligations of both the Vendor and Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be at an end; and

(b)	neither party shall have any right to specific performance or other remedy against, or any right to recover damages or expenses from, the other,

provided, however, that the Purchaser shall:

(x)	only be entitled to have the Deposit returned with any interest accrued thereon, but without deduction, if the Purchaser validly terminates this Agreement in

	accordance with Section 5.4, or if the Closing has not occurred by May 15, 2009 other than as a result of the action or inaction of the Purchaser; and

(y)	without limiting the generality of the foregoing, not be entitled to have the Deposit returned or to receive interest thereon in the event that the Purchaser terminates this Agreement as a result of the condition provided in Section 5.1(1)(a) not having been fulfilled as a result of the Purchaser’s default under or breach of the HondaSub APA.

Section 7.12 Breach by Purchaser

If the Purchaser fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement, the Vendor may by notice to the Purchaser elect to treat the Agreement as having been repudiated by the Purchaser. In that event, the Deposit and any other payments made by the Purchaser shall be forfeited to the Vendor on account of its liquidated damages, and the Assets may be resold by the Vendor. In addition, the Purchaser shall pay to the Vendor on demand the deficiency, if any, arising upon such resale (after deducting the expenses of resale) together with interest and all other damages or charges occasioned by or resulting from the default by the Purchaser.

Section 7.13 Change Debtor’s Name

The Vendor, on behalf of the Debtor, shall make reasonable best efforts to file articles of amendment to change the corporate name of the Debtor to another name not including the word, “FuelMaker” and otherwise not confusingly similar to its present name.

Section 7.14 Termination of Contractor Agreements

The Vendor, at the request of the Purchaser, on behalf of the Debtor, shall make commercially reasonable efforts to send letters to contractors identified by the Purchaser terminating contracts under which the Debtor has granted the right to use portions of HondaSub’s Intellectual Property, in the ordinary course of the Debtor’s business for the purpose of manufacturing parts or providing services for the Debtor’s products and/or processes.
