Seller has taken or caused to be taken by others, all commercially reasonable actions to (i) obtain or satisfy all Consents from any Persons necessary to authorize, approve or permit the full and complete sale, conveyance, assignment, sublease or transfer of the Purchased Assets, (ii) ensure that any Contracts assigned to Buyer, as contemplated by this Agreement, are assigned on the same terms as are disclosed on the Schedules to this Agreement, and (iii) consummate and make effective the Contemplated Transactions. In addition, Seller agrees to take, or cause to be taken, all commercially reasonable actions to continue such efforts as may be required after the Closing Date to facilitate the full and expeditious assignment, transfer of legal title, or sublease, as the case may be, of the Purchased Assets.

(b) Nonassignable Items. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to sell, convey, assign, sublease or transfer any Purchased Assets, including Contracts and Governmental Authorizations, if an attempted sale, conveyance, assignment, sublease or transfer thereof, without the consent of another Person, would constitute a breach of, or in any way affect the rights of either Seller or Buyer with respect to, such Purchased Assets (collectively, the “Nonassignable Items”). Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (and Buyer shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with Seller) to obtain and satisfy all Consents and to resolve all impracticalities of sale, conveyance, assignment, sublease or transfer necessary to convey to Buyer all Nonassignable Items. If any such Consents are not obtained and satisfied or if an attempted sale, conveyance, assignment, sublease or transfer would be ineffective, Seller and its Affiliates shall enter into such arrangements (including related written agreements) as Buyer may reasonably request to provide Buyer with the benefit of the Nonassignable Items.

2.6 Sale and Purchase of XCEL Japan Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller will sell and transfer the XCEL Japan Shares to Stock Buyer, and Stock Buyer will purchase the XCEL Japan Shares from Seller.

19 (b) Deferred Purchase Price.

(i) If Net Sales for fiscal year 2009 (which is the calendar year) exceed $6,835,120, Buyer shall pay to Seller, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.7(b)(ii), an amount in cash (the “Deferred Cash Consideration”) equal to the product of $500,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is Net Sales for fiscal year 2009 and the denominator of which is the Net Sales Target; provided, however, that the amount of the Deferred Cash Consideration shall not exceed $500,000.

(ii) Within forty-five (45) days after December 31, 2009, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a written statement (the “Payment Statement”), including supporting documentation, setting forth the amount of Net Sales for fiscal year 2009. The Payment Statement shall become final and binding upon Buyers and Seller on the 15th day following delivery thereof, unless Seller gives notice of disagreement with the Payment Statement (a “Dispute Notice”) to Buyer prior to such date. Any Dispute Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted. If a Dispute Notice is received by Buyer in a timely manner, then the Payment Statement shall become final and binding upon Buyers and Seller on the earlier of (i) the date Buyer and Seller resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Dispute Notice and (ii) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm. During the 30-day period (the “Resolution Period”) following the delivery of a Dispute Notice, Buyer and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts and seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Dispute Notice.

The Accounting Firm shall be RSM McGladrey (which the parties represent has not provided services to any of them or their respective subsidiaries during the past three years) or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, such other independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed upon by Buyer and Seller in writing. Buyer and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to the Accounting Firm within thirty (30) days of their delivery of such submission. The Accounting Firm shall determine Net Sales for fiscal year 2009 pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) in accordance with GAAP and the principles, policies and practices that were used in preparing the Business Financial Statements; provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made by the Accounting Firm in favor of Seller with respect to any item that was not included in Seller’s Dispute Notice. The Accounting Firm’s decision shall be based solely on written submissions by Buyer and Seller and their respective representatives and by reference to the terms of this

20 Agreement. Seller and Buyer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information related to the disputed matters as the Accounting Firm may request and are reasonably available to Seller, Buyer or their respective agents. The Accounting Firm shall address only those items in dispute and calculation-related errors.

For illustration purposes only, a computation of the Closing Net Book Value utilizing the figures from the Interim Business Balance Sheets is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.10. The Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon Buyers and Seller on the 15th day following delivery thereof, unless Buyer gives notice of disagreement with the Closing Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Seller prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted and (ii) only include disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on the Closing Net Asset Value or Closing Net Book Value not being calculated pursuant to this Section 2.10, which requires that the calculations be in accordance with GAAP. If a Notice of Disagreement is received by Seller in a timely manner, then the Closing Statement (as revised in accordance with this sentence) shall become final and binding upon Buyers and Seller on the earlier of (A) the date Buyers and Seller resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement and (B) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm. During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Buyers and Seller shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. At the end of such 30-day period, Buyers and Seller shall submit to the Accounting Firm for arbitration, in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 2.10, only matters that remain in dispute and were properly included in the Dispute Notice in accordance with this Section 2.10. Buyers and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to render a written

decision resolving the matters submitted to the Accounting Firm within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such submission. The Accounting Firm shall determine the Closing Net Asset Value and the Closing Net Book Value pursuant to this Section 2.10; provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made by the Accounting Firm in favor of Buyers with respect to any item that was not included in Buyer’s Notice of Disagreement. The Accounting Firm’s decision shall be based solely on written submissions by Buyers and Seller and their respective Representatives and by reference to the terms of this Agreement. Seller and Buyers shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information related to the disputed matters as the Accounting Firm may request and are reasonably available to Seller, Buyers or their respective agents. The Accounting Firm shall address only those items in dispute and calculation-related errors.

The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm incurred pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be borne by Buyers and Seller equally.

(b) Inventory Reserve; Pension Obligation. Prior to delivery of the Closing Statement, Buyer and Seller shall determine if the inventory reserve of XCEL Japan is adequate assuming a maximum of 18 months on hand at an individual unit level (based on the order activity during the past 18 months immediately prior to the Closing) assuming all current open orders are filled. If such inventory reserve is not sufficient, Buyer and Seller shall mutually agree upon the amount by which the inventory reserve shall be increased and increase the Target Net Value accordingly. Prior to delivery of the Closing Statement, the Target Net Value shall be increased to reflect an adjustment to the pension obligation of XCEL Japan to ¥43,015,811, which reflects the agreed upon liability as of the Closing.

(c) Payment of Adjustment. Within three (3) days following the date that the Closing Statement becomes final and binding upon Buyers and Seller, if the Closing Net Value as set forth in the Closing Statement is less than an amount equal to the Target Net Value, then Seller shall pay to Buyers (in such proportion as directed by the Buyers) an amount equal to the Target Net Value minus the Closing Net Value and the Purchase Price shall be reduced accordingly. If the Closing Net Value as set forth on the Closing Statement is greater than the Target Net Value, then Buyers shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Closing Net Value minus the Target Net Value and the Purchase Price shall be increased accordingly.

2.11 Purchase Price Allocation. The Purchase Price represents the amount agreed upon by the Parties to be the aggregate value of the Purchased Assets and the XCEL Japan Shares. Promptly after Closing but in no event more than ninety (90) days after the Closing, the Parties shall agree upon the allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets and the XCEL Japan Shares. If Buyers and Seller are not able to agree upon the allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets and XCEL Japan shares, such allocation shall be made by a valuation firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller. Each of the Parties shall report the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets, including, without limitation, in all federal, foreign, state, local and other Tax Returns and reports prepared and filed by or for either Seller or

Buyer, including but not limited to their respective Internal Revenue Service Forms 8594, in accordance with the basis of allocation described in this Section 2.11.

2.12 Buyers’ Representative. Buyer shall act as the representative for both Buyers in the administration of the provisions of Sections 2.10 and 2.11.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Seller nor Parent will have any liability for indemnification with respect to the matters described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 5.2 and Buyers will have no liability for indemnification with respect to the matters described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 5.3, unless on or before the date eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (the “Claim Date”), such Party notifies the other Party of a claim specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known; provided, however, that any claim with respect to Section 3.3 (Capitalization), 3.6 (Title to Assets) or 3.11 (Taxes), or any claim of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, may be made at any time up to the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation and any claim based on a breach of the covenants set forth at Sections 7.1, 7.3, 7.4 or 7.6 may be made at any time. There is no time limitation on any claim for indemnification with respect to the matters described at clauses (b) through (q) of Section 5.2.

5.5 Limitations on Amount. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller and Parent will have no liability for indemnification with respect to the matters

described in clause (a) of Section 5.2 and Buyers will have no liability for indemnification with respect to the matters described in clause (a) of Section 5.3 (subject in both cases to the limitations in Section 5.4) until all claims for indemnification by such party exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Deductible”). Once the aggregate claims for indemnification by such Party under clause (a) of Section 5.2 and Section (a) of Section 5.3, as applicable, exceed the Deductible, then such Party shall be entitled to recover only the amount of such claims in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that except as provided in the following sentence, the aggregate liability for indemnity claims under clause (a) of Section 5.2 other than claims with respect to Section 3.3 (Capitalization), 3.6 (Title to Assets) or 3.11 (Taxes) (which shall be limited to the Purchase Price) shall not exceed $4,500,000 (the “Liability Cap”) and shall not be subject to the Deductible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claim for indemnification under this Agreement relating to fraud or intentional misrepresentation or with respect to the matters set forth in clauses (b) through (q) of Section 5.2 or clauses (b) through (d) of Section 5.3, as applicable, shall not be subject to the Deductible or the Liability Cap.

5.6 Procedure For Indemnification—Third-Party Claims.

(a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Article V of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against it, such indemnified party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such claim, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the indemnifying party’s failure to give such notice.

(b) If any Proceeding referred to in Section 5.6(a) is brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will, unless the claim involves Taxes, be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the indemnifying party is also a party to such Proceeding and the indemnified party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of its financial capacity to defend such Proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such Proceeding), to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under this Article V for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Proceeding, (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the

indemnified party’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; and (iii) the indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any Proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within ten days after the indemnified party’s notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made in such Proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it or its affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Proceeding, but the indemnifying party will not be bound by any determination of a Proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).

5.7 Procedure For Indemnification—Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.

5.8 Sole Remedy. From and after the Closing, the remedies provided in this Article V shall be the sole remedy of the Indemnified Persons and Seller for any claim arising out of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions or any law or legal theory applicable thereto, including the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement and Schedules to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or impair any right that any Indemnified Person or Seller may have to ▇▇▇ and obtain equitable relief, including specific performance and other injunctive relief or any right or remedy that any Indemnified Person or Seller may have against Seller or Buyer on account of fraud.

5.9 Insurance and Third Party Recoveries. Any Damages for which indemnification is provided to any Indemnified Person or Seller under this Article V shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by an Indemnified Person or Seller from third parties (including amounts actually recovered under insurance policies) with respect to such Damages after having subtracted from the amounts so recovered the costs incurred by an Indemnified Person or Seller in pursuing such recovery.

5.10 Tax Benefit. The Parties agree to treat any payment made pursuant to this Article V as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Federal, State and local income tax purposes. In the event that an Indemnified Person or Seller receives a Tax benefit in respect to any Damages for which an indemnification payment would be made hereunder, such

indemnification payment shall be calculated net of any such Tax benefit (after considering any Tax detriment from receipt of such indemnification payment).

ARTICLE VI

The Arbitrator shall resolve any disputed items within fifteen (15) Business Days of having the item referred to it (and in any case at least three Business Days prior to the time in which such Tax Return must be filed (taking into accounts all extensions that are available without incurring penalties or additional Taxes)) pursuant to such procedures as it may require. The Parties shall promptly act to implement the decision of the Arbitrator. The costs, fees and expenses of the Arbitrator shall be borne equally by Seller and Stock Buyer unless the Arbitrator determines that a Party’s position was unreasonable or not in good faith.

After the Closing, Seller shall provide Buyers with access (with an opportunity to make copies), during normal business hours, and upon reasonable notice, to any records relating to the Business which are retained by Seller. Seller shall preserve and maintain any books and records relating to the Business and retained by it for at least five years after the Closing Date.

(b) By Buyer. From and after the Closing, Buyers shall, whenever reasonably requested by Seller (including reasonable prior notice to Buyers) and during normal business hours, permit Seller or its Representatives to have access to such business records (including without limitation computer files) turned over to Buyers pursuant to this Agreement as may be required by Seller in connection with the closing of Seller’s books, the preparation of Seller’s audited statement of Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities as of the Closing Date, any audit or investigation by any Governmental Authority, or any matter relating to insurance coverage or third party claims, in each such case to the extent relating to the operation of the Business prior to the Closing.

7.3 Non-Competition.

(a) Period and Conduct. As further consideration for the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets and the XCEL Japan Shares (including the goodwill of the Business as a going concern), during the period commencing on the Closing Date, and ending on the date which is five (5) years thereafter (the “Restricted Period”), Seller, Parent and their Affiliates shall not, in any Restricted Territory, directly or indirectly:

(i) engage in any business, activity, or enterprise competitive with or substantially similar to the Business, including, without limitation, in the manufacture, production, design, engineering, importation, purchase, marketing, sale, distribution, research or development of any Products, or engage or invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control, solicit business related to, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, financing, or control of, be employed by, lend its name or any similar name, or lend its or his credit to, or render services or advice to, any Person engaged in any business, activity or enterprise competitive with or substantially similar to the Business including, without limitation, in the manufacture, production, design, engineering, importation, purchase, marketing, sale, distribution, research or development of any Products; provided, however, that if Seller’s Subsidiary, XCEL Power Systems, Ltd. (“XPS”), ceases to have a distributor agreement with Buyer and XPS is requested to supply products which include the Products, XPS shall have the right to distribute such products after first offering to Buyer the opportunity to supply such products.

(ii) recruit or solicit any person who has been an employee, Representative, consultant or agent of Buyer or former employee of Seller hired by Buyer, to terminate his or her employment with Buyer; or

(c) Conduct of Buyer’s Business and Operations Post-Closing. Seller acknowledges that (i) after the Closing, Buyers intend to conduct Buyers’ businesses (including, without limitation, the Business) throughout the Restricted Territory, among other places, (ii) a very substantial portion of the value of the Purchased Assets and the XCEL Japan Shares is the goodwill that Seller has built up in the Restricted Territory and the ability of Buyers (as successor to the Business) and Buyers’ Affiliates to expand Buyers’ business within the Restricted Territory and (iii) that Buyers would not be purchasing the Purchased Assets and the XCEL Japan Shares but for such goodwill and ability to expand.

(d) Remedies. Because a breach, or failure to comply with, this Section 7.3 will cause irreparable injury to Buyers for which there is no adequate remedy at law and the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain, if Seller or any of its Affiliates should in any way breach, or fail to comply with, the terms of this Section 7.3, Buyers shall be entitled to an injunction restraining such Person(s) from any such breach or failure in addition to monetary damages. All remedies expressly provided for herein are cumulative of any and all other remedies now existing at law or in equity, to the extent permitted under applicable law. Buyers shall, in addition to the remedies herein provided, be entitled to avail itself of all such other remedies as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity for compensation, and for the specific enforcement of the covenants contained herein without the necessity of proving actual damages.

(e) Severability. If any provision of this Section 7.3 shall finally be judicially determined to be invalid, ineffective or unenforceable, such determination shall apply only in the jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made and every other provision of this Section 7.3 shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid, ineffective or unenforceable provision shall, without further action by the parties, be automatically amended, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to effect the original purpose and intent of the invalid, ineffective or unenforceable provision (and if such provision governs the duration of the Restricted Period or geographic scope of the Restricted Territory, such provision shall be amended to reduce such duration or scope, as applicable, as minimally as possible so that such provision is valid, effective and enforceable for the longest period of time and fullest geographic area as is adjudged permissible for such provision to be valid, effective and enforceable); provided, however, that such amendment shall apply only with respect to the operation of such provision in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

(f) Acknowledgement. Seller acknowledges that the duration of the Restricted Period, the geographic scope of the Restricted Territory, and the scope of restricted activities described in Section 7.3(a) are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Buyer in view of the nature of the Business, the nature of the businesses in which Buyers are engaged, and the nature of the Contemplated Transactions.

7.4 Accounts Receivable. After the Closing, Buyer shall have the right and authority to collect all Accounts Receivable purchased hereunder as Purchased Assets and other items transferred and assigned by Seller hereunder as Purchased Assets, and to endorse in the name of Seller as Buyer’s property any checks received on Accounts Receivable or other items. If Seller or any of its Affiliates receives on or after the Closing Date any payment relating to any Account Receivable, such payment shall be the property of, and shall be forwarded and remitted to, Buyer. Seller will promptly endorse and deliver to Buyer any cash, checks or other documents received by or made payable to Seller on account of any such Account Receivable. Seller shall advise Buyer (promptly following Seller’s becoming aware thereof) of any counterclaims or set-offs that may arise subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to any Account Receivable.

(b) Continuing Employees. Seller shall terminate all employees employed in the Digitran Business as of the Closing Date. Buyer shall offer employment from and after the Closing Date to all employees listed on Schedule 7.5(b) (collectively, the “Continued Employees”) on terms, in Buyer’s opinion, reasonably similar to the conditions of each such employee’s employment in the Business immediately prior to the Closing Date, subject to the Continued Employees obtaining insurance coverage through COBRA until such time as Buyer institutes its own medical coverage for such Continued Employees. In no event shall Buyer be liable or responsible for paying or providing any severance benefits to any employee or former employee of Seller.

(c) WARN Act Compliance. If Seller takes any action that could be construed as a “plant closing” or “mass layoff”, or that results in any Employee retained or employed suffering or deeming to have suffered any “employment loss”, as those terms are defined in the WARN Act, Seller shall be solely responsible for providing any notice required by the WARN Act and for making payments, if any, which may be required under the WARN Act for failure to provide appropriate notice.

Any Environmental Health and Safety Liabilities disclosed in such report shall be Retained Liabilities.

7.9 Offsite Purchase Assets.

This

Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their successors and assigns.
