The specific liabilities to be assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.3 are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Assumed Liabilities”.

1.4 Excluded Liabilities.

2. Covenant to Remain Employees of MDE.

As an inducement to Buyer to enter into and to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Daniel J.

In any event, Seller will, with respect to the resale by any of them of any of the shares of Buyer’s common stock issued to them at any time pursuant to any conversion of any portion of the outstanding balance of their Notes, be subject to the restrictions, conditions and requirements applicable to an affiliate of Buyer under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, even if Seller or the MDE Members are no longer technical affiliates of Buyer.

3. Other Covenants.

3.1 Covenant Not to Compete. As a material inducement for Buyer to enter into this Agreement, the MDE Members agree that during the term of their employment or directorship or consultancy with MDE or the Company (collectively, their “Engagement”), and for a period of three (3) years after the termination of their Engagement (the “Non-Competition Period”), they covenant and agree that each of them shall not, directly or indirectly own, manage, operate, participate in, produce, represent, distribute and/or otherwise act on behalf of any person, firm, corporation, partnership or other entity which involves photovoltaic solar energy (the “Competitive Business”) anywhere within the United States, its possessions and territories, Canada or Mexico (collectively, the “Territory”); or hire any employee or former employee of Buyer or MDE to perform services in or involving the Competitive Business, unless the individual hired shall have departed Buyer's or MDE’s employment at least twelve (12) months prior to the hiring. The Non-Competition Period will, however, be one year instead of three years with respect to a Terminating Seller if (i) that Seller’s employment is involuntarily terminated (i.e., by the Company) without “cause” or (ii) in the event of a material breach of Buyer’s payment obligations under the Note. For the purpose of this Agreement, “cause” means Seller commits a material breach of this Agreement or his Engagement agreement with the Company, which breach is not cured within ten (10) days of written notice thereof, or fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, a felony criminal act, or a breach of his fiduciary duty to the Company during the term of his Engagement with the Company. The MDE Members further covenant and agree that during the Non-Competition Period, they will not directly or indirectly solicit or agree to service for their benefit or the benefit of any third-party, any of Buyer’s or MDE’s customers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 3.1 shall prohibit them from owning, managing, operating, participating in the operation of, or advising, consulting or being employed by any entity that is not involved in the Competitive Business. The MDE Members acknowledge and agree that Buyer will expend substantial time, talent, effort and money in marketing, promoting, managing, selling and otherwise exploiting the businesses Buyer and MDE operate, in part by virtue of Buyer’s acquisition of the Assets pursuant to this Agreement, that MDE Members are all of the members of MDE, that they are receiving a substantial benefit from the transactions contemplated hereunder and that the benefit received by Buyer and them in agreeing to be bound by this Section 3.1 are a material part of the consideration for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The parties recognize that this Section 3.1 contains conditions, covenants, and time limitations that are reasonably required for the protection of the business of MDE and Buyer. If any limitation, covenant or condition shall be deemed to be unreasonable and unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, then this Section 3.1 shall thereupon be deemed to be amended to provide for modification of such limitation, covenant and/or condition to such extent as the court or arbitrator shall find to be reasonable and such modification shall not affect the remainder of this Agreement. The MDE Members acknowledge that, in the event an MDE Member breaches this Agreement, money damages will not be adequate to compensate Buyer for the loss occasioned by such breach. The MDE Members therefore consent, in the event of such a breach, to the granting of injunctive or other equitable relief against the MDE Members by any court of competent jurisdiction.

3.2 Seller to Change Name. On the Closing Date, Seller will file an appropriate amendment to its Articles of Organization to change its name to a name that is not similar to Seller or the Company, and shall not further change or amend its name or use any trade or fictitious name.

3.3 Filing of Sales Tax Returns. Seller shall file with all appropriate authorities its final sales tax returns within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, or such earlier date as such returns are due. Any liabilities or obligations resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, due to audits of said returns, shall be the liability and obligation of Seller and the MDE Members, and Buyer shall have no obligation whatsoever with respect thereto.

3.4 Notice to Customers. At Closing, Seller and Buyer shall sign a letter on Seller’s letterhead advising Seller’s customers of the sale of Seller’s business and instructing such customers to pay outstanding payables owing to Seller to Buyer, in form satisfactory to Buyer.

3.5 Bulk Sales Laws. Seller and the MDE Members shall be responsible for compliance with any applicable bulk sales law. Seller and the Members represent and warrant that Seller's principal business is not the sale of inventory from stock. The MDE Members shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless against any and all claims, losses, liabilities and damages and any and all costs and expenses, which Buyer may incur as a result of or arising out of any failure by the parties to comply with any bulk sales law.

5.26 Full Disclosure. Neither this Agreement (including the exhibits hereto) nor any statement, certificate or other document delivered to Buyer by or on behalf of MDE contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the representations and other statements contained herein and therein not misleading.

5.27 Tax Advice. The MDE Members and Seller hereby represent and warrant that they have sought their own independent tax advice regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and neither the MDE Members nor Seller have relied on any representation or statement made by Buyer, the Company, or their representatives regarding the tax implications of such transactions.

The MDE Members represent and warrant that they are sophisticated, knowledgeable and experienced in making investments of this kind and are capable of evaluating the risks and merits of acquiring the Note.

9.1 Indemnification by the MDE Members. The MDE Members agree jointly and severally, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its affiliates against any and all claims, demands, losses, costs, expenses, obligations, liabilities and damages, including interest, penalties and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs (“Losses”), incurred by Buyer or any of its affiliates arising, resulting from, or relating to any and all liabilities of MDE incurred prior to the Closing Date or relating to the Assets prior the Closing Date, any misrepresentation of a material fact or omission to disclose a material fact made by the MDE Members or Seller in this Agreement, in any exhibits to this Agreement or in any other document furnished or to be furnished by MDE or Sellers under this Agreement, or any breach of, or failure by the MDE Members or Seller to perform, any of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or in any exhibit or other document furnished or to be furnished by the MDE Members or Seller under this Agreement.

17 of 29

9.2 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer and Parent agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the MDE Members and Seller against any and all Losses incurred by the MDE Members or Seller arising after the Closing Date, resulting from or relating to any breach of, or failure by Buyer or Parent to perform, any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or in any exhibit or other document furnished or to be furnished by Buyer or Parent under this Agreement.

9.3 Procedure for Indemnification Claims.

(a) Whenever any parties become aware that a claim (an “Underlying Claim”) has arisen entitling them to seek indemnification under Section 9 of this Agreement, such parties (the “Indemnified Parties”) shall promptly send a notice (“Notice”) to the parties liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Parties”) of the right to indemnification (the “Indemnity Claim”); provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Parties will relieve the Indemnifying Parties from liability under this Agreement with respect to such Indemnity Claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to notify the Indemnifying Parties results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Parties of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Parties with respect to the Underlying Claim. Any Notice pursuant to this Section 9.3(a) shall set forth in reasonable detail, to the extent then available, the basis for such Indemnity Claim and an estimate of the amount of damages arising therefore.

(b) If an Indemnity Claim does not result from or arise in connection with any Underlying Claim or legal proceedings by a third party, the Indemnifying Parties will have thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of the Notice to issue a written response to the Indemnified Parties, indicating the Indemnifying Parties’ intention to either (i) contest the Indemnity Claim or (ii) accept the Indemnity Claim as valid. The Indemnifying Parties’ failure to provide such a written response within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to be an acceptance of the Indemnity Claim as valid. In the event that an Indemnity Claim is accepted as valid, the Indemnifying Parties shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days thereafter, pay Losses incurred by the Indemnified Parties in respect of the Underlying Claim in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts specified by the Indemnified Parties. To the extent appropriate, payments for indemnifiable Losses made pursuant to this Agreement will be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

(c) In the event an Indemnity Claim results from or arises in connection with any Underlying Claim or legal proceedings by a third party, the Indemnifying Parties shall have fifteen (15) calendar days following receipt of the Notice to send a Notice to the Indemnified Parties of their election to, at their sole cost and expense, assume the defense of any such Underlying Claim or legal proceeding; provided that such Notice of election shall contain a confirmation by the Indemnifying Parties of their obligation to hold harmless the Indemnified Parties with respect to Losses arising from such Underlying Claim. The failure by the Indemnifying Parties to elect to assume the defense of any such Underlying Claim within such fifteen (15) day period shall entitle the Indemnified Parties to undertake control of the defense of the Underlying Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Parties in such manner as the Indemnified Parties may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling the Underlying Claim. The parties controlling the defense of the Underlying Claim shall not, however, settle or compromise such Underlying Claim without the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The non-controlling parties shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with their own counsel and at their own expense.

18 of 29

(d) The Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Parties will cooperate reasonably, fully and in good faith with each other, at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Parties subject to the last sentence of Section 9.3(c) of this Agreement, in connection with the defense, compromise or settlement of any Underlying Claim including, without limitation, by making available to the other parties all pertinent information and witnesses within their reasonable control.

(e) Basket; Limitations on Indemnification; Calculation of Losses.

(i) Basket. A Buyer Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to make a claim for indemnification for any Losses arising out of Section 9.1 until the aggregate amount of all claims for Losses which arise out of Section 9.1 exceeds Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) (the “Basket”). In the event the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds the Basket, then the Seller shall indemnify such Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to the amount of all Losses exceeding the amount of the Basket.

(ii) Seller’s and MDE Member Cap. The maximum aggregate liability of the Seller and MDE Members, collectively, under Section 8.2(a) for all Losses shall be an amount equal to the Purchase Price actually received by such Seller or MDE Member (the “Seller’s Cap”).

(iii) Exclusions from the Basket and Seller’s Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Losses shall not be subject to the provisions of the Basket and the Seller’s Cap and a Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to such Losses in accordance with this Article 9 as though the Basket and the Seller’s Cap were not a part of this Agreement:

(1) Losses relating to, caused by or resulting from the breach of any of the Seller’s and/or MDE Members representations and warranties as a result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation; and

(2) Losses relating to, caused by or resulting from the breach of any ongoing covenant of the Seller or MDE Member.

9.4 Recovery. Losses for which a Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled to recover pursuant to this Article 9 shall first be offset against the outstanding principal amount of the Note, if any, and second, after any available principal amount of the Note has been exhausted, against any Seller or MDE Member in accordance with this Article 9. Except for specific performance and injunctive relief, the indemnification obligations and procedures set forth in this Article 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for liabilities arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

19 of 29

10. Injunctive Relief.

10.1 Damages Inadequate. Each party acknowledges that it would be impossible to measure in money the damages to the other party if there is a failure to comply with any covenants and provisions of this Agreement, and agrees that in the event of any breach of any covenant or provision, the other party to this Agreement will not have an adequate remedy at law.

10.2 Injunctive Relief. It is therefore agreed that the other party to this Agreement who is entitled to the benefit of the covenants and provisions of this Agreement which have been breached, in addition to any other rights or remedies which they may have, will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief to enforce such covenants and provisions, and that in the event that any such action or proceeding is brought in equity to enforce them, the defaulting or breaching party will not urge a defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

11. Further Assurances.

Following the Closing, the MDE Members and Seller shall furnish to Buyer such instruments and other documents as Buyer may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out or evidencing the transactions contemplated hereby.

12. Fees and Expenses.

Each party hereto shall pay all fees, costs and expenses that it incurs in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and in carrying out the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, all fees and expenses of its counsel and accountant).

13. Waivers.

If any party at any time waives any rights hereunder resulting from any breach by the other party of any of the provisions of this Agreement, such waiver is not to be construed as a continuing waiver of other breaches of the same or other provisions of this Agreement. Resort to any remedies referred to herein will not be construed as a waiver of any other rights and remedies to which such party is entitled under this Agreement or otherwise.

14. Successors and Assigns.

Each covenant and representation of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of the parties, their personal representatives, assigns and other successors in interest.

20 of 29

15. Entire and Sole Agreement.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all other agreements, representations, warranties, statements, promises and undertakings, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a written agreement signed by the parties against whom the amendment is sought to be enforced. The parties acknowledge that as of the date of the execution of this Agreement, any and all other agreements, other than the Note attached as an exhibit to this Agreement, either written or verbal, regarding the substance of this Agreement will be terminated and be of no further force or effect.

16. Governing Law.

This Agreement will be governed by the laws of California without giving effect to applicable conflict of law provisions. With respect to any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each party agrees that it will be filed in and heard by the state or federal courts with jurisdiction to hear such suits located in Santa Barbara County, California.

17. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts will be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts will constitute but one and the same instrument.

18. Assignment.

Except in the case of an affiliate of Buyer, this Agreement may not be assignable by any party without prior written consent of the other parties.

19. Remedies.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, none of the remedies set forth in this Agreement are intended to be exclusive, and each party will have all other remedies now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. The election of any one or more remedies will not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.

20. Section Headings.

The section headings in this Agreement are included for convenience only, are not a part of this Agreement and will not be used in construing it.

21. Severability.

In the event that any provision or any part of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision or part of this Agreement.

21 of 29
