AND WHEREAS Asolare is owed $3,000,000.00 principal of the Preferred Shares and $440,000.00 in accrued unpaid dividends from Trackpower (collectively the “Obligations”);

AND WHEREAS Asolare and Trackpower have agreed to settle the Obligations owed by Trackpower to Asolare by Trackpower issuing one billion two hundred twenty million (1,220,000,000) restricted shares of its common stock collectively to Asolare’s members and affiliates;

AND WHEREAS the parties wish to set out in this Agreement the terms, conditions and covenants of the parties in consideration of settlement of the Obligations;

NOW THEREFORE the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.                      Trackpower agrees to issue Adelberg on or before February 29, 2008, one hundred fifty five million (155,000,000) restricted shares of its common stock.

2.                      Trackpower agrees to pay Adelberg twenty five percent (25%) of ten percent (10%) of cumulative EBITDA in cash, in consecutive quarterly payments starting with the end of Trackpower’s current fiscal quarter, which payment shall be tendered within 45 days following each fiscal quarter end, until the total sum of $250,000.00 is paid.

3.                      The issuance of the restricted shares and the payment of cash pursuant to the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 above shall be a full and complete settlement of the Obligations.  Time is of the essence of the issuance of the restricted shares and the payment of cash pursuant to the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 above.

 
 

 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in this Mutual Release, if the shares are not tendered to Adelberg within the applicable time periods specified and/or if the cash is not tendered to Adelberg in good and available funds within the time period specified, then the release by Adelberg of his rights or claims shall automatically become null and void.

Notwithstanding the above release language, Trackpower, in consideration of Adelberg’s past efforts as a director and/or officer, shall remain obligated to insure Adelberg under its corporate directors’ and officers’ liability policy and, in addition, shall provide Adelberg indemnification and any other protection as it would any current director or officer.

4.                      The parties hereto agree to execute the Mutual Release which is attached hereto as Schedule “A”.

5.                      The parties agree that in the event that any term or condition herein or part thereof shall be deemed void, invalid or enforceable by Court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining terms and conditions or parts thereof shall remain in full force and effect.

6.                      This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior representations or agreements related to this Agreement.


Dated this ____ day of February, 2008.
