SALE AND TRANSFER OF SHARES; CLOSING

     2.1 Purchase and Sale of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, (i) Seller will sell and transfer the Shares to Buyer free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws), and Buyer will purchase the Shares from Seller. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Companies) shall be permitted to cause any or all of the Acquired Companies to transfer to Seller (and thereby to not directly or indirectly sell or transfer to Buyer) any Excluded Assets.

     2.2 Assumption of Liabilities. 

          (a) Assumption. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Closing and effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall assume from Seller (and therefore agree to pay, perform and discharge), and Seller shall irrevocably convey, transfer and assign to Buyer, all of the Assumed Liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, it is understood and agreed that Buyer shall assume all Liabilities of the Acquired Companies by virtue of Buyer’s purchase of the Shares (including the indirect purchase of the membership interests of SCR-Tech).

          (b) Definition of Assumed Liabilities. For all purposes of and under this Agreement, the term “Assumed Liabilities” shall mean, refer to and include only the following Liabilities of Seller, and only to the extent such Liabilities arise out of or relate to the operation of the Business:

                    (i) Liabilities of Seller reflected in the Business Financial Statements and Liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business after the date of the Business Financial Statements in connection with the operation of the Business (including any Liabilities related to workers compensation for any Business Employees);

                    (ii) Liabilities for Taxes that are the responsibility of Buyer pursuant to Section 6.2 or Section 6.4;

                    (iii) Liabilities of Seller arising out of or in connection with any Proceedings to the extent related to the Business, whether in existence on or after the date hereof (including any Proceedings set forth in Section 3.11 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules and any Liabilities related to workers compensation for any Business Employees for all periods on or after the Closing Date);

                    (iv) Liabilities of Seller for any obligation to make severance or retention payments to any Business Employee as set forth in any employment agreement or other Contract between Seller or any of its Subsidiaries and any such Business Employee;

                    (v) Liabilities of Seller for all accrued vacation and sick time of, and bonus plan payments payable to, all Business Employees;

                    (vi) all Liabilities assumed or to be performed by Buyer pursuant to Article 7 and the second sentence of Section 2.2(a);

                    (vii) Liabilities of Seller arising from discharges or releases of Hazardous Substances, violations of Environmental Laws or similar matters to the extent such Liabilities are related to the operations of the Business, any Acquired Company Real Property or any other real property owned, leased or otherwise occupied at any time for the operation of the Business or by an Acquired Company;

                    (viii) Liabilities under all employment agreements and other Contracts between Seller or any of its Subsidiaries and any Business Employee, but specifically excluding any Liabilities of Seller relating to stock options or other equity-based compensation involving any securities of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; and

                    (ix) Liabilities of Seller for the capitalized leases set forth in Section 2.2(b)(ix) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules.

          (c) Definition of Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Buyer shall not assume, and Seller agrees that Buyer shall not be liable or otherwise responsible for, the following Liabilities of Seller (the Liabilities referred to in clauses (i) through (ii) of this Section 2.2(c), collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”):

                    (i) Liabilities of Seller in respect of transaction costs payable by Seller pursuant to Section 6.4;

                    (ii) Liabilities for Taxes that are the responsibility of Seller pursuant to Section 6.2;

                    (iii) Liabilities for inter-company notes or accounts payable owed by an Acquired Company to Seller or any Subsidiary of Seller (other than any Acquired Company); and

                    (iv) any other Liabilities of Seller (but not the Acquired Companies), other than Assumed Liabilities .

     2.3 Consideration for the Shares. 

          (a) Subject to the adjustments in Section 2.3(b), the aggregate consideration (the “Purchase Price”) for the Shares will be (i) $9,600,000 in cash and (ii) the assumption by Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.2. The Purchase Price shall be allocated to the Shares as set forth on Schedule B hereto.

     (b) Working Capital Adjustment.

          (i) For all purposes of and under this Agreement, the term “Working Capital” shall mean (x) the value of the current assets of the categories described on Schedule C hereto of the Acquired Companies, minus (y) the value of the current liabilities of the categories described on Schedule D hereto of the Acquired Companies or included in the Assumed Liabilities; provided, however, that for purposes of determining Working Capital, the Assumed Liabilities shall not include any costs or expenses required to be paid by Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including any Transfer Taxes payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 6.4.

          (ii) As promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days following the Closing, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller a statement (the “Statement of Working Capital”) setting forth the Working Capital as of the Closing (the “Closing Working Capital”). The Statement of Working Capital shall include the corresponding balance sheet and statement of income—each of which shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP (except for the omission of notes thereto)—and consistent with the manner of preparation of the example computation of Working Capital for September 30, 2007, attached as Schedule E hereto, and with the past practices of Seller. Buyer will cooperate and work in good faith with Seller, and Seller will cooperate with and assist Buyer, including through providing any reasonably requested documentation, in the preparation of the Statement of Working Capital. Buyer will, upon Seller’s written request, make available to Seller and its auditors a copy of all workpapers and other books and records utilized by Buyer in the preparation of the Statement of Working Capital.

          (iii) Subject to Section 2.3(b)(iv), within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Statement of Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(ii), (A) Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount, if any, that the Closing Working Capital reflected in the Statement of Working Capital exceeds $500,000, or (B) Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount, if any, that $500,000 exceeds the Closing Working Capital reflected in the Statement of Working Capital. Any and all payments made pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(iii) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the party to receive such payment. Any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(iii) shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

          (iv) If Seller disagrees in good faith with the Statement of Working Capital, then Seller shall notify Buyer in writing (the “Notice of Disagreement”) of such disagreement within twenty-five (25) days following delivery of the Statement of Working Capital. If Buyer has not received a Notice of Disagreement within such twenty-five (25)-day period, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Statement of Working Capital. Any Notice of Disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail the adjustments Seller proposes to make to the Statement of Working Capital and the basis therefor and shall be consistent with the provisions of Section 2.3(b)(ii). Thereafter, Seller and Buyer shall attempt in good faith to resolve and finally determine the amount of the Closing Working Capital. If Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve the disagreement within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Notice of Disagreement, then Seller and Buyer shall select a mutually acceptable, nationally recognized independent accounting firm that does not then have a relationship with Seller or Buyer (the “Independent Accountant”), to resolve the

disagreement and make a determination with respect thereto. If Seller and Buyer are unable, within ten (10) days, to select a mutually acceptable Independent Accountant, then each of Seller and Buyer shall select a nationally recognized independent accounting firm that does not have a relationship with Seller or Buyer, and these two firms will choose a nationally recognized independent accounting firm who will serve as the Independent Accountant. The determination of the Independent Accountant to resolve the disagreement between Seller and Buyer as to the Statement of Working Capital will be made, and written notice thereof given to Seller and Buyer, within thirty (30) days after the selection of the Independent Accountant. The determination by the Independent Accountant shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Seller and Buyer, absent manifest error. The scope of the Independent Accountant’s engagement (which will not be an audit) shall be limited to the resolution of the disputed items described in the Notice of Disagreement, and the recalculation, if any, of the Statement of Working Capital in light of such resolution. If an Independent Accountant is engaged pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(iv), the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer. Within ten (10) days after delivery of a notice of determination by the Independent Accountant as described above, any payment required by Section 2.3(b)(iii) shall be made, based on such determination.

     2.4 Further Assurances. For a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing, and without further consideration therefor, (a) Seller shall execute and deliver such documents and take such other actions as Buyer may reasonably request in order to more effectively convey the Shares to Buyer and evidence the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) Buyer shall execute and deliver such documents and take such other actions as Seller may reasonably request (including executing such further instruments and certificates of assumption, novation and release as Seller may reasonably request) in order to effectively make Buyer responsible for all Assumed Liabilities and release Seller therefrom to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and evidence the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     2.5 Closing. Except to the extent that Buyer and Seller agree on another time and place, the purchase and sale (the “Closing”) provided for in this Agreement will take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Professional Corporation at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, at 10:00 a.m. (local time) on the date hereof.

                    (i) certificates representing the Shares, duly endorsed (or accompanied by duly executed stock or transfer powers), for transfer to Buyer;

                    (ii) a duly executed Instrument of Assignment and Assumption from Seller substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”);

                    (v) all other instruments or documents as Buyer may reasonably request to effect the assignment of the Shares as contemplated hereby.

          (b) Buyer will deliver to Seller:

                    (i) the Purchase Price by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by Seller;

                    (ii) an opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇ LLP, dated as of the date of the Closing, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C;

                    (iii) a duly executed copy of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement; and

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER CONCERNING THE BUSINESS

     Except as disclosed in the disclosure schedules delivered by Seller to Buyer concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (it being agreed that any information set forth in one Section of such disclosure schedules shall be deemed to apply to each other Section thereof to which its relevance is reasonably apparent) (the “Seller Disclosure Schedules”), Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

     3.1 Qualification; Organization; Subsidiaries, etc.  Each of the Acquired Companies is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so organized, validly existing, qualified or in good standing, or to have such power or authority, would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a

Business Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, any reference to any facts, circumstances, events or changes having a “Business Material Adverse Effect” means such facts, circumstances, events or changes that are, or would reasonably be expected to be, materially adverse to the business, financial condition or continuing operations of the Business taken as a whole but shall not include facts, circumstances, events or changes (a) generally affecting the industries in which the Acquired Companies operate or the economy or the financial or securities markets in the United States or elsewhere in the world, including regulatory and political conditions or developments (including any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of war or terrorism) or (b) resulting from (i) the announcement or the existence of, or compliance with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) changes in applicable Law, GAAP or accounting standards. No Acquired Company is in violation, in any material respect, of any of the provisions of its respective certificate of incorporation and by-laws or similar organizational documents. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of, or other equity interests in the Acquired Companies have been validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, owned directly or indirectly by Seller, free and clear of all Liens, other than restrictions imposed under securities laws, and are not subject to any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such capital stock or other ownership interests, except for restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws.

     3.2 Capital Structure.

          (a) All outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests of each Acquired Company are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of pre-emptive rights.

     7.5 Post-Retirement Benefit Liabilities.  Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall assume (and does hereby assume), shall be responsible for, covenants to pay or otherwise discharge, and shall indemnify and hold harmless, Seller against any liability, claim or obligation (including reasonable attorney’s fees) relating to or arising out of the Seller Benefit Plans that provide for post-retirement medical and life insurance benefits for Business Employees that relate to the Business. Such post-retirement medical and life insurance benefits will continue to be maintained on the same terms and conditions in effect on the Closing Date with respect to all Business Employees who have retired on or prior to the Closing Date and are receiving or entitled to receive post-retirement medical and life insurance benefits.

     7.6 Long Term Disability.  Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall assume (and does hereby assume), shall be responsible for, covenants to pay or otherwise discharge, and shall indemnify and hold harmless, Seller against any liability, claim or obligation (including reasonable attorney’s fees) relating to or arising out of any Business Employee’s long-term disability claim.

     7.7 Life Insurance.  Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall assume (and does hereby assume), shall be responsible for, covenants to pay or otherwise discharge, and shall indemnify and hold harmless, Seller against any liability, claim or obligation (including reasonable attorney’s fees) relating to or arising out of the Seller Benefit Plans that provide for life insurance benefits for Business Employees that relate to the Business.

     7.8 Vacation. Except as may otherwise be required by Law, effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall assume Seller’s liability for all accrued, but unpaid vacation time of Business Employees to the extent such liability is not already a liability of an Acquired Company.

     7.9 Cooperation. Upon request, Seller shall provide Buyer, and Buyer shall provide Seller, such documents, data and information as may reasonably be necessary to implement the provisions of this Article 7 and to administer their respective benefit plans, subject to applicable Law.

     7.10 Post-Closing Date Participation. Seller acknowledges that as of the Closing Date, Business Employees shall no longer be eligible to actively participate in the Benefit Plans listed on Section 7.10 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules except to the extent required by Law or until such time (following the Closing) as a Business Employee becomes an employee of Seller. Nothing in this Section 7.10 shall otherwise affect or reduce the accrued benefits as of the Closing Date of Business Employees under such Benefit Plans.

     7.11 General. Nothing in this Article 7 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed as (a) conferring any legal rights upon any Business Employee for continuation of employment by Buyer or its affiliates, (b) requiring Buyer to implement, or limiting the rights of Buyer to amend or discontinue, any fringe benefit plan, program or practice or any other employee benefit plan of any nature whatsoever, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Article 7 or (c) conferring upon any Business Employee any rights or remedies under this Agreement (including under this Article 7).

ARTICLE 8

The representations and warranties contained herein and in the Ancillary Agreement or certificates delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreement shall survive the Closing until 5:00 p.m., California time, on the fifteen (15)-month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.6 (Environmental Laws and Regulations) (the “Environmental Items”) shall survive until the three (3)-year anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1 (Qualification; Organization; Subsidiaries, etc.), Section 3.7 (Employee Benefit Plans), Section 3.10 (Tax Matters) and Section 3.14 (Title to Assets) (such representations, for definitional purposes collectively with the Environmental Items referred to herein as the “Specified Indemnity Items”) shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and (iii) in the event of fraud, any such representation or warranty shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to Seller (but only to the extent fraud by any person may be imputed to Seller under applicable law) and the person committing such fraud or with actual knowledge of the same (each such survival period described in this Section 8.1, a “Survival Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations or warranties in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, and the indemnity with respect thereto, shall survive the

applicable Survival Period and thereafter until resolved if a claim in respect thereof has been made prior to the end of such Survival Period.

     8.2 Indemnification by Parent and Buyer. Subject to Section 8.1 and Section 8.6, from and after the Closing, each of Parent and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its affiliates and their respective stockholders, officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), from and against all judgments, settlements, demands, claims, actions or causes of action, deficiencies, assessments, Liabilities, losses, damages (whether direct or indirect, incidental or consequential), interest, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal, accounting and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending, settling or satisfying any and all such demands, claims, actions or causes of action (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of, resulting from, related to or associated with (i) any and all of the Assumed Liabilities, (ii) the breach of any of the representations and warranties of Parent or Buyer contained in this Agreement and (iii) the breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of Parent or Buyer under this Agreement.

     8.3 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to Section 8.1 and Section 8.6, from and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its affiliates and their respective stockholders, officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from and against all Losses arising out of, resulting from, related to or associated with (i) any and all of the Excluded Liabilities, (ii) the breach of any of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement and (iii) the breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of Seller under this Agreement.

     8.4 Notice of Claims. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Article 8 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claims as to which indemnity is sought (stating in reasonable detail the basis of the claim for indemnification and the Section or Sections of this Agreement providing for such indemnification), provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 8 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been adversely affected by such failure.

     8.5 Procedure for Indemnification; Third Party Claims; Arbitration.

          (a) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against it, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in connection therewith is to be made against an Indemnifying Party under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, as the case may be, give notice (in addition to the notice required by Section 8.4) 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 Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice.

     (b) If any Proceeding referred to in Section 8.5(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 be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (x) 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 (y) 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 actively and diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Article 8 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, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.6, (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent unless 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. The indemnified Party will not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to the settlement or compromise of a proceeding being defended by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to the foregoing if the sole relief provided thereby is monetary damages. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any Proceeding and the Indemnifying Party does not, within thirty (30) 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 of such Proceeding, in each case, with the consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned if the sole relief provided thereby is monetary damages). Each party hereto shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as the other party may reasonably request in writing and shall otherwise cooperate with the other party to such extent as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

     (c) Should the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party be unable to agree as to any particular item or items or amount or amounts with respect to any claim for which indemnification is sought pursuant to this Article 8, then either party may demand arbitration of the matter, to be conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to Seller and Parent. In the event that, within twenty (20) days after determination to submit any dispute to arbitration, Seller and Parent cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, then, within ten days after the end of such twenty (20)-day period, Seller and Parent shall each select one arbitrator. The two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. Any such arbitration shall be held in New York, New York, under the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association.

The losing party shall pay or reimburse the prevailing party, as applicable, all expenses relating to the arbitration, including the respective expenses of each party, the fees of each arbitrator and the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association. The decision of the arbitrator or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, as to the validity and amount of any such claim shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement and the Indemnifying Parties, absent manifest error. Promptly after a decision of the arbitrator(s) requiring payment by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall make such payment to such Indemnified Party.

     8.6 Limitations on Indemnification.

          (a) An Indemnifying Party shall not have any liability under Section 8.2(ii), Section 8.2(iii), Section 8.3(ii) or Section 8.3(iii) (except with regard to Buyer’s obligations to pay the Purchase Price and the parties’ respective obligations to pay for any amounts under Section 6.4) unless the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party and indemnifiable thereunder arising out of, resulting from, related to or associated with the breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements exceeds $192,000 (the “Basket”) and, in any event (except with regard to Buyer’s obligations to pay the Purchase Price and the parties’ respective obligations to pay for any amounts under Section 6.4), only the aggregate amount of such Losses in excess of the Basket shall be indemnifiable hereunder; provided, however, that the Basket shall not apply to any breach of the Specified Indemnity Item or to any liability under Section 8.2(i) or Section 8.3(i).

          (b) Subject to this Section 8.6, no Indemnified Party shall make a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement for Losses incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from, related to or associated with the breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement (other than a claim with respect to breach of any Specified Indemnity Item or any liability under Section 8.2(i) or Section 8.3(i), for which this Section 8.6(b) shall not apply) unless the amount of such Losses (excluding Specified Indemnity Items or any liability under Section 8.2(i) or Section 8.3(i)) relating to such claim exceeds $500.00; provided, however, that at such time as an Indemnified Party makes a claim or claims for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement for Losses, excluding any Specified Indemnity Item or any liability under Section 8.2(i) or Section 8.3(i), in an aggregate amount exceeding the Basket, such threshold amount for any additional claims shall increase to $5,000, until the point that the aggregate amount of all such additional claims that are less than $5,000 equals or exceeds $50,000, at which point all of such additional claims, together with all future claims in excess of $500, shall be indemnified pursuant to the terms of Article 8.

          (c) Neither Seller nor Buyer shall be required to indemnify any person under Section 8.2(ii), Section 8.2(iii), Section 8.3(ii) or Section 8.3(iii) (except with regard to Buyer’s obligations to pay the Purchase Price and the parties’ respective obligations to pay for any amounts under Section 6.4) for an aggregate amount of Losses exceeding:

                    (i) in the case of the Specified Indemnity Items or Excluded Liabilities, in the case of Seller, $9,600,000 in connection with Losses related to the breach of any such Specified Indemnity Items or such Excluded Liabilities; and

                    (ii) in the case of all other representations, warranties, covenants or agreements, $1,920,000 in connection with Losses related to the breach of any such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Seller or Parent and Buyer, respectively.

          (d) An Indemnifying Party shall not have any liability under Section 8.2(ii), Section 8.2(iii), Section 8.3(ii) or Section 8.3(iii) (except with regard to Buyer’s obligations to pay the Purchase Price) for any Losses unless an Indemnified Party shall have delivered to the Indemnifying Party a claim in accordance with Section 8.4 identifying such Losses (and stating in reasonable detail the basis of the claim for indemnification and the Section or Sections of this Agreement providing for such indemnification with regard to such Losses) prior to the termination of the applicable Survival Period.

          (e) No Loss arising from a liability reflected on the Statement of Working Capital (as adjusted pursuant to any disputes) shall be subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3.

          (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under Section 8.3(ii) or Section 8.3(iii), such Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to such indemnification in accordance with this Article 8 notwithstanding its assumption of the Assumed Liabilities and obligations under Section 8.2(i) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Ancillary Agreement; provided, however, in no event shall any Buyer Indemnified Party be entitled to any duplicative recovery for such items, pursuant to Section 8.3(i) or otherwise.

          (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Seller have any liability under this Agreement (including this Article 8) for any Losses relating to a claim the underlying facts of which were known by Parent or Buyer on or prior to the Closing.

     8.7 Exclusive Remedy. Subject to the applicability of Section 6.2 and Section 6.4, except for claims for fraud and except for covenants contained herein which by their terms are to be performed at or after the Closing, the indemnification obligations under this Article 8 shall be the sole and the exclusive remedy of the parties hereto with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement or Ancillary Agreement by any party hereto or any certificate delivered in connection herewith or therewith, except that nothing herein or in any such certificate shall be construed or interpreted as limiting or impairing the rights or remedies that the parties hereto may have at equity for injunctive relief or specific performance.

          (b) References in this Agreement (except as specifically otherwise defined) to “affiliates” shall mean, as to any person, any other person which, directly or indirectly, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such person.

          (c) References in this Agreement (except as specifically otherwise defined) to “person” shall mean an individual, a corporation, a partnership, a limited liability company, an association, a trust or any other entity, group (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) or organization, including a Governmental Entity, and any permitted successors and assigns of such person.

          (d) References in this Agreement to “knowledge” of a party shall mean the actual knowledge of any of the officers or managerial personnel of such party (which for the avoidance of doubt shall include the actual knowledge of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ in the case of Seller), with respect to the matter in question, and such knowledge as any of such officers or managerial personnel reasonably should have obtained upon reasonable investigation and inquiry into the matter in question.

          (e) References in this Agreement to “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the banks in New York or Arizona are authorized by law or executive order to be closed.

     9.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party.

     9.5 Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries.

Except as may be required by applicable Law or the requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc., for a period of three (3) years following the Closing, Seller will (and will cause its Subsidiaries to) take commercially reasonable steps comparable to those steps Seller takes with regard to its own similar confidential information to protect the confidentiality of all confidential information related to the Business in the possession of Seller or its then Subsidiaries (other than information which is or becomes known to the public other than through a breach of this Section 9.8 by Seller).

     9.9 Amendments; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by written agreement of the parties hereto. No breach of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty made herein shall be deemed waived unless expressly waived in writing by the party who might assert such breach.

     9.10 Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms or were otherwise breached.

     9.11 Severability. Each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted so as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included herein.

ARTICLE 10

GUARANTEE OF BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS

     10.1 Guaranty. Parent hereby absolutely, irrevocably, continuously and unconditionally guarantees to Seller (i) the full and prompt payment when due of all of Buyer’s financial obligations (including payment of the Purchase Price) under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreement and (ii) the timely performance by Buyer of all of its duties, agreements, covenants and obligations under Section 2.4 (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Parent Guaranteed Obligations”).

     10.2 Guaranty Absolute. The liability of Parent under this Article 10 shall be absolute, unconditional, present and continuing until all of the Parent Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full or performed, as applicable, irrespective of:

          (a) any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of Seller’s interests in and rights under this Agreement and/or the Ancillary Agreement, including, without limitation, Seller’s right to receive payment and require performance of the Parent Guaranteed Obligations;

          (b) any amendment, waiver, renewal, extension or release of or any consent to or departure from or other action or inaction related to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating to the Parent Guaranteed Obligations;

          (c) any lack of validity or enforceability of or defect or deficiency in this Agreement (including this Article 10) or any other documents to which Seller, Parent or their respective Subsidiaries is or may become a party;

          (d) any modification, extension or waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement (including this Article 10);

          (e) except as to applicable statutes of limitation, failure, omission, delay, waiver or refusal by Seller to exercise, in whole or in part, any right or remedy held by Seller with respect to this Agreement (including this Article 10);

          (f) insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, liquidation, winding up, dissolution or other similar proceeding of Seller, Parent, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other guarantor of the Parent Guaranteed Obligations or other similar proceeding; and

          (g) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Parent in respect of the Parent Guaranteed Obligations, other than payment in full of the Parent Guaranteed Obligations.

     10.3 Obligations Several. This is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. The obligations of Parent hereunder are several from those of Buyer or any other person, and are primary obligations concerning which Parent is the principal obligor. There are no conditions precedent to the enforcement of this Article 10, except as expressly contained herein. It shall not be necessary for Seller, in order to enforce payment and performance by Parent under this Article 10, to exhaust its remedies against Buyer, any other guarantor, or any other person liable for the payment or performance of the Parent Guaranteed Obligations. Seller shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect, or enforce the Parent Guaranteed Obligations.

     10.4 Obligations Continuing. This Article 10 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Parent Guaranteed Obligations are annulled, set aside, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, rescinded or must otherwise be returned, refunded or repaid by Seller, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Parent, Buyer or any other guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervener or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for,

Parent, Buyer or any other guarantor or any substantial part of their property or otherwise, all as though such payment or payments had not been made.

     10.5 Enforcement of Guaranty. In no event shall Seller have any obligation (although it is entitled, at its option) to proceed against Buyer before seeking satisfaction from Parent, and Seller may proceed, prior or subsequent to, or simultaneously with, the enforcement of Seller’s rights hereunder, to exercise any right or remedy which it may have under this Agreement, including this Article 10.

     10.6 Waiver. Parent hereby waives:

          (a) notice of acceptance of the guaranty in this Article 10, of the creation or existence of any of the Parent Guaranteed Obligations and of any action by Seller in reliance hereon or in connection herewith;

          (b) except as expressly set forth herein, promptness, diligence, all setoffs, presentment, demand for payment or performance, notice of dishonor, nonpayment or nonperformance, protest and notice of protest with respect to the Parent Guaranteed Obligations;

          (c) any requirement for Seller or any other person to protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against Parent, any other entity or any collateral;

          (d) any provision of any statute or judicial decision otherwise applicable hereto which restricts or in any way limits the rights of any obligee against a guarantor or surety following a default or failure of performance by an obligor with respect to whose obligations the guarantee or surety is provided;

          (e) any requirement that suit be brought against, or any other action by Seller be taken against, or any notice of default or other notice be given to, or any demand be made on, Parent or any other person, or that any other action be taken or not taken as a condition to Parent’s liability for the Parent Guaranteed Obligations under this Article 10 or as a condition to the enforcement of this Article 10 against Parent; and

          (f) any defense of Buyer or the cessation, from any cause whatsoever, of the liability of Buyer.

     10.7 Expenses. Parent hereby agrees to pay on demand any and all costs, including reasonable legal fees, and other expenses incurred by Seller in enforcing Parent’s obligations under this Article 10. Parent hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably agrees to hold Seller and its successors and assigns harmless and to indemnify Seller and its successors and assigns from, for and against any and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to any failure by Parent to carry out, observe and perform in accordance with this Article 10 any of the Parent Guaranteed Obligations contained in or arising from this Article 10.

     10.8 Benefit of Guaranty. The provisions of this Article 10 are for the benefit of Seller and its successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns.

     10.9 Reinstatement. This Article 10 shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Buyer or Parent for liquidation or reorganization, should Buyer or Parent become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Buyer’s or Parent’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Parent Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or otherwise must be restored or returned by Seller, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Parent Guaranteed Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

     10.10 Continuing Guaranty. This Article 10 is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until the Parent Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full.

ARTICLE 11

GUARANTEE OF SELLER’S OBLIGATIONS

     11.1 Guaranty. Renegy hereby absolutely, irrevocably, continuously and unconditionally guarantees to Buyer the full and prompt payment when due of all of Seller’s financial obligations (if any) under Section 2.3(b)(iii) and Section 8.3 of this Agreement (collectively, the “Renegy Guaranteed Obligations”).

     11.2 Guaranty Absolute. The liability of Renegy under this Article 11 shall be absolute, unconditional, present and continuing until all of the Renegy Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full or performed, as applicable, irrespective of:

          (a) any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of Buyer’s interests in and rights under this Agreement and/or the Ancillary Agreement, including, without

limitation, Buyer’s right to receive payment and require performance of the Renegy Guaranteed Obligations;

          (b) any amendment, waiver, renewal, extension or release of or any consent to or departure from or other action or inaction related to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating to the Renegy Guaranteed Obligations;

          (c) any lack of validity or enforceability of or defect or deficiency in this Agreement (including this Article 11) or any other documents to which Buyer, Renegy or their respective Subsidiaries is or may become a party;

          (d) any modification, extension or waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement (including this Article 11);

          (e) except as to applicable statutes of limitation, failure, omission, delay, waiver or refusal by Buyer to exercise, in whole or in part, any right or remedy held by Buyer with respect to this Agreement (including this Article 11);

          (f) insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, liquidation, winding up, dissolution or other similar proceeding of Buyer, Renegy, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other guarantor of the Renegy Guaranteed Obligations or other similar proceeding; and

          (g) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Renegy in respect of the Renegy Guaranteed Obligations, other than payment in full of the Renegy Guaranteed Obligations.

     11.3 Obligations Several. This is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. The obligations of Renegy hereunder are several from those of Seller or any other person, and are primary obligations concerning which Renegy is the principal obligor. There are no conditions precedent to the enforcement of this Article 11, except as expressly contained herein. It shall not be necessary for Buyer, in order to enforce payment and performance by Renegy under this Article 11, to exhaust its remedies against Seller, any other guarantor, or any other person liable for the payment or performance of the Renegy Guaranteed Obligations. Buyer shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect, or enforce the Renegy Guaranteed Obligations.

     11.4 Obligations Continuing. This Article 11 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Renegy Guaranteed Obligations are annulled, set aside, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, rescinded or must otherwise be returned, refunded or repaid by Buyer, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Renegy, Seller or any other guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervener or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Renegy, Seller or any other guarantor or any substantial part of their property or otherwise, all as though such payment or payments had not been made.

     11.5 Enforcement of Guaranty. In no event shall Buyer have any obligation (although it is entitled, at its option) to proceed against Seller before seeking satisfaction from Renegy, and Buyer may proceed, prior or subsequent to, or simultaneously with, the enforcement of Buyer’s rights hereunder, to exercise any right or remedy which it may have under this Agreement, including this Article 11.

     11.6 Waiver. Renegy hereby waives:

          (a) notice of acceptance of the guaranty in this Article 11, of the creation or existence of any of the Renegy Guaranteed Obligations and of any action by Buyer in reliance hereon or in connection herewith;

          (b) except as expressly set forth herein, promptness, diligence, all setoffs, presentment, demand for payment or performance, notice of dishonor, nonpayment or nonperformance, protest and notice of protest with respect to the Renegy Guaranteed Obligations;

          (c) any requirement for Buyer or any other person to protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against Renegy, any other entity or any collateral;

          (d) any provision of any statute or judicial decision otherwise applicable hereto which restricts or in any way limits the rights of any obligee against a guarantor or surety following a default or failure of performance by an obligor with respect to whose obligations the guarantee or surety is provided;

          (e) any requirement that suit be brought against, or any other action by Buyer be taken against, or any notice of default or other notice be given to, or any demand be made on, Renegy or any other person, or that any other action be taken or not taken as a condition to Renegy’s liability for the Renegy Guaranteed Obligations under this Article 11 or as a condition to the enforcement of this Article 11 against Renegy; and

          (f) any defense of Seller or the cessation, from any cause whatsoever, of the liability of Seller.

     11.7 Expenses. Renegy hereby agrees to pay on demand any and all costs, including reasonable legal fees, and other expenses incurred by Buyer in enforcing Renegy’s obligations under this Article 11. Renegy hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably agrees to hold Buyer and its successors and assigns harmless and to indemnify Buyer and its successors and assigns from, for and against any and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to any failure by Renegy to carry out, observe and perform in accordance with this Article 11 any of the Renegy Guaranteed Obligations contained in or arising from this Article 11.

     11.8 Benefit of Guaranty. The provisions of this Article 11 are for the benefit of Buyer and its successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns.

     11.9 Reinstatement. This Article 11 shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Seller or Renegy for liquidation or reorganization, should Seller or Renegy become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Seller’s or Renegy’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Renegy Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or otherwise must be restored or returned by Buyer, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Renegy Guaranteed Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

     11.10 Continuing Guaranty. This Article 11 is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until the Renegy Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full. Any other guarantors of all or any part of the Renegy Guaranteed Obligations may be released without affecting the liability of Renegy hereunder.

     11.11 Effective Date and Term of Guaranty. The guaranty under this Article 11 shall be effective at the Closing. Buyer shall not have any rights under this Article 11, express or implied, nor shall Renegy have any obligations under this Article 11, express or implied, until the Closing. Subject to the foregoing sentence, this Article 11 shall continue in full force and effect until payment in full of the Renegy Guaranteed Obligations; provided, however, that the obligations and liabilities of Renegy under this Article 11 shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any breach of Renegy’s obligations hereunder or of the Renegy Guaranteed Obligations, in each case occurring prior to such termination.
