instrument executed by the Chief Financial Officer and President or Chief
Executive Officer of the Company and certifying that such financials were

operation for the periods specified therein, subject to year-end audit
adjustment;
(g) such
other information relating to the financial condition, business, prospects or
corporate affairs of the Company as EnerTech or any assignee of EnerTech may
from time to time reasonably request, provided, however,
that the Company shall not be obligated under this subsection (g)
or any other subsection of Section 3.1 to
(i) provide information which the Company reasonably deems in good faith to be a
trade secret or similar confidential information (unless covered by an
enforceable confidentiality agreement, in form acceptable to the Company) or
(ii) would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company
and its counsel;
(h) if
for any period the Company shall have any subsidiary whose accounts are
consolidated with those of the Company, then in respect of such period the
financial statements delivered pursuant to the foregoing sections shall be the

detail any claim, action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, complaint, charge or

however, that the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 3.2 to

secret or similar confidential information (unless covered by an enforceable
confidentiality agreement in a form acceptable to the Company) or would
adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its
counsel.
3.3. Termination of Information
and Inspection Covenants. The covenants set forth in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2
shall terminate as to EnerTech and be of no further force or effect immediately
prior to the consummation of the sale of shares of Common Stock in the Company’s
IPO or when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting
requirements of Sections 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, unless EnerTech
ceases to own one percent (1.0%) of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company prior to the
occurrence of such events, in which case the covenants shall terminate as of the
date that EnerTech no longer owns one percent (1.0%) of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company.
-5-
3.4. Confidentiality. Each Stockholder agrees
that such Stockholder will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge or
use for any purpose, other than to monitor its investment in the Company, any
confidential information obtained from the Company pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, unless such confidential information (i) is known or becomes known to
the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 3.4 by such
Stockholder), (ii) is or has been independently developed or conceived by the
Stockholder without use of the Company's confidential information or (iii) is or
has been made known or disclosed to the Stockholder by a third party without a
breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to the
Company; provided,
however, that a Stockholder may disclose confidential information
(a) to its attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals to
the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with monitoring its
investment in the Company, (b) to any prospective purchaser of any
Registrable Securities from such Stockholder as long as such prospective
investor agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.4,
(c) to any Affiliate, partner, member, stockholder or wholly owned
subsidiary of such Stockholder in the ordinary course of business, as long as
such Affiliate, partner, member stockholder or wholly owned subsidiary of such
Stockholder agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.4, or (d)
as may otherwise be required by law, provided that the Stockholder takes
reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required
disclosure. The Company, EnerTech, and the Stockholders hereby
acknowledge that EnerTech invests in numerous companies, some of which may be
competitive with the Company’s business. The Company, EnerTech and
the Stockholders agree that EnerTech shall not be liable for any claim arising
out of, or based upon, (i) the investment by EnerTech in any entity competitive
to the Company, (ii) actions taken by any partner, officer or other
representative of EnerTech to assist any such competitive company, whether or
not such action was taken as a board member of such competitive company, or
otherwise, and whether or not such action has a detrimental effect on the
Company, unless such claim arises directly from the EnerTech’s misuse of
confidential information in material breach of this Section
3.4.
4. Right
of First Offer on Company Offerings
4.1. Right of First
Offer. Subject
to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 4.1, and
applicable securities laws, in the event the Company proposes to offer or sell
any New Securities other than the Common Stock to be issued under the Purchase
Agreement, the Company shall first make an offering of such New Securities to
EnerTech and Acorn (collectively, the “Offerees”, and individually,
an “Offeree”) in
accordance with the following provisions of this Section
4.1. An Offeree
shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted it among
itself and its partners, members and Affiliates in such proportions as they each
deem appropriate.
(a) The
Company shall deliver a notice, in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.5
hereof, (the “Offer
Notice”) to the Offerees stating (i) its bona fide intention to
offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such New Securities to be
offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to
offer such New Securities.
-6-
(b) By
written notification received by the Company, within twenty (20) calendar days
after mailing of the Offer Notice, an Offeree may elect to purchase or obtain,
at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion
of such New Securities which equals the proportion that the number of shares of
Common Stock issued and then held by such Offeree bears to the total number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company issued and then held by all the
Stockholders.
(c) In
the event that the Company proposes to offer New Securities contingently, each
Offeree will be issued warrants (“Contingent Warrants”) to
purchase its pro rata portion of equity securities which may be purchased
pursuant to such New Securities, or into which such New Securities may become
convertible, as the case may be, in lieu of receiving such New Securities on the
same terms as stated in the Offer Notice. The exercise of such Contingent
Warrants will be subject to the same contingencies as the New Securities
proposed to be offered. An Offeree must exercise such Contingent Warrants within
twenty (20) calendar days after the Company has properly delivered a notice to
the Offeree, in accordance with Section 10.5 hereof,
that such Contingent Warrants may be exercised.
(d) If
the consideration proposed to be paid for New Securities is in property,
services or other non-cash consideration, the value of the consideration shall
be as agreed in good faith by the Offeree and the Company. If the Offeree and
the Company fail to agree in good faith as to the value of such consideration,
the price paid for such offered New Securities shall be deemed to be the value
of such consideration as calculated in accordance with GAAP.
(e) The
right of first offer in this Section 4.1 shall not
be applicable to: (i) the shares of Common Stock properly issued or deemed
issued to employees or directors of, or consultants to, the Company or any of
its subsidiaries pursuant to the Stock Option Plan (as defined in Section 8); or (ii)
securities issued in connection with any stock split or stock dividend of the
Company.
(f) The
right of first offer set forth in this Section 4.1 may
not be assigned or transferred except that such right is assignable by an
Offeree to any of its Affiliates.
4.2. Termination. The
provisions of this Section 4 shall
terminate upon the first to occur of (i) the consummation of an IPO or (ii) a
failure by an Offeree to elect to purchase a portion of New Securities to which
it is entitled under Section 4.1(b), or to
exercise its Contingent Warrants, if any, as provided under Section 4.1(c); provided,
however, in the case of the
immediately preceding clause (ii) this Section 4 shall
terminate only as to the Offeree who has failed to so elect or
exercise.
4.3. Management Stockholders’
Rights. The parties hereto acknowledge that certain Management
Stockholders have a right of first offer to purchase New Securities of the
Company under the terms of their individual option agreements entered into in
connection with the Stock Option Plan, and the Company shall coordinate the
administration of the right of first offer described in Section 4.1 with the right of
first offer held by such Management Stockholders.
-7-
5. Rights
of Refusal and Co-Sale
5.1. Company Right of First
Refusal. Each Stockholder hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably grants to the Company a Right of First Refusal to purchase all or
any portion of Transfer Stock that such Stockholder may propose to transfer in a
Proposed Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as
those offered to the Prospective Transferee. Each Stockholder proposing to make
a Proposed Transfer must deliver a Proposed Transfer Notice to the Company and
the Key Holders, not later than 10 days prior to the consummation of such
Proposed Transfer. Such Proposed Transfer Notice shall contain the
material terms and conditions of the Proposed Transfer and the identity of the
Prospective Transferee. The Company must exercise its Right of First
Refusal under this Section 5.1 by giving
a Company Notice to such selling holder of Common Stock within fifteen (15) days
after delivery of the Proposed Transfer Notice.
5.2. Secondary Refusal Right of
Key Holders.
(a) Each
Key Holder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the other Key Holder
a Secondary Refusal Right to purchase the shares of Key Holder Stock not
purchased by the Company pursuant to the Company’s Right of First Refusal under
Section 5.1, as
provided in this Section
5.2. If the Company does not intend to exercise its Right of
Refusal under Section
5.1 with respect to all Key Holder Stock subject to a Proposed Transfer,
the Company must deliver a Secondary Notice to the other Key Holder to that
effect no later than fifteen (15) days after the selling Key Holder delivers the
Proposed Transfer Notice to the Company. To exercise its Secondary
Refusal Right, a Key Holder must deliver a Key Holder Secondary Notice to the
selling Key Holder and the Company within ten (10) days after the deadline for
delivery of the Secondary Notice.
(b) Each
Stockholder that is not a Key Holder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
grants to the Key Holders a Secondary Refusal Right to purchase up to each Key
Holder’s pro rata portion (based upon the total number of shares of each Key
Holder’s Stock) of the Stockholder’s stock not purchased by the Company pursuant
to the Company’s Right of First Refusal under Section 5.1, as
provided in this Section
5.2. If the Company does not intend to exercise its Right of
Refusal under Section
5.1 with respect to all of the selling Stockholder’s Common Stock subject
to a Proposed Transfer, the Company must deliver a Secondary Notice to the Key
Holders to that effect no later than fifteen (15) days after the selling
Stockholder delivers the Proposed Transfer Notice to the Company. To
exercise its Secondary
Refusal Right, a Key Holder must deliver a Key Holder Secondary Notice to the
selling Stockholder and the Company within ten (10) days after the deadline for
delivery of the Secondary Notice.
5.3. Consideration;
Closing. If the consideration proposed to be paid for the
Transfer Stock is in property, services or other non-cash consideration, the
fair market value of the consideration shall be determined in good faith by the
Company’s Board of Directors. If the Company or any Key Holder cannot
for any reason pay for the Transfer Stock in the same form of non-cash
consideration, the Company or such Key Holder may pay the cash value equivalent
thereof, as determined by the Board of Directors. The closing of the
purchase of Transfer Stock by the Company and/or the other Key Holder, as the
case may be, shall take place, and all payments from the Company and/or the
other Key Holder, as the case may be, shall have been delivered to the selling
Stockholder by the later of (i) the date specified in the Proposed Transfer
Notice as the intended date of the Proposed Transfer and (ii) forty-five (45)
days after delivery of the Proposed Transfer Notice.
-8-
5.4. Right of
Co-Sale.
(a) If
any Transfer Stock subject to a Proposed Transfer by a Stockholder is not
purchased pursuant to Sections 5.1 and
5.2 above and
thereafter is to be sold to a Prospective Transferee, a Key Holder or Management
Stockholder may elect to exercise its Right of Co-Sale and participate on a
pro-rata basis in the Proposed Transfer on the same terms and conditions
specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice. A Key Holder or Management
Stockholder who desires to exercise its Right of Co-Sale must give the selling
Stockholder written notice to that effect within fifteen (15) days after the
deadline for delivery of the Key Holder Secondary Notice as described above, and
upon giving such notice such Key Holder or Management Stockholder shall be
deemed to have effectively exercised the Right of Co-Sale.
(b) Each
Key Holder or Management Stockholder who timely exercises its Right of Co-Sale
by delivering the written notice provided for above in Section 5.4(a) may
include in the Proposed Transfer all or any part of his, her or its Common Stock
equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares
of Stockholder Common Stock subject to the Proposed Transfer (excluding shares
purchased by the Company pursuant to the Right of First Refusal of the Company)
by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common
Stock owned by such Key Holder or Management Stockholder immediately before
consummation of the Proposed Transfer and the denominator of which is
the total number of shares of Common Stock owned, in the aggregate, by all
Stockholders immediately prior to the consummation of the Proposed
Transfer. To the extent a Key Holder or Management Stockholder
exercises such right of participation in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that the
selling Stockholder may sell in the Proposed Transfer shall be correspondingly
reduced.
(c) Each
participating Key Holder or Management Stockholder shall effect its
participation in the Proposed Transfer by delivering to the transferring
Stockholder, no later than fifteen (15) days after such Key Holder’s or
Management Stockholder’s exercise of the Right of Co-Sale, one or more stock
certificates, properly endorsed for
transfer to the Prospective Transferee, representing the number of shares of
Common Stock that such Key Holder or Management Stockholder elects to include in
the Proposed Transfer.
(d) The
terms and conditions of any sale pursuant to this Section 5.4 will be
memorialized in, and governed by, a written purchase and sale agreement with
customary terms and provisions for such a transaction.
(e) Each
stock certificate a participating Key Holder or Management Stockholder delivers
to the selling Stockholder pursuant to subparagraph (c) above will be
transferred to the Prospective Transferee against payment therefor in
consummation of the sale of the Transfer Stock pursuant to the terms and
conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice and the purchase and sale
agreement, and the selling Stockholder shall concurrently therewith remit to the
appropriate Key Holder or Management Stockholder the portion of the sale
proceeds to which such Key Holder or Management Stockholder is entitled by
reason of its participation in such sale. If any Prospective
Transferee or Transferees refuse(s) to purchase securities subject to the Right
of Co-Sale from a Key Holder or Management Stockholder exercising its Right of
Co-Sale hereunder, no Stockholder may sell any Common Stock to such Prospective
Transferee or Transferee unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such
selling Stockholder purchases all securities subject to the Right of Co-Sale
from such other Stockholders.
-9-
(f) If
any Proposed Transfer is not consummated within forty-five (45) days after
receipt of the Proposed Transfer Notice by the Key Holders, the Management
Stockholders, or the Company, as the case may be, the Stockholder proposing the
Proposed Transfer may not sell any of its Common Stock unless it first complies
in full with each provision of this Section
5. The exercise or election not to exercise any right by any
Key Holder or Management Stockholder hereunder shall not adversely affect its
right to participate in any other sales of Transfer Stock subject to this Section
5.4.
5.5. Drag-Along
Right.
(a) In
the event that any Key Holder owns more than fifty percent (50%) of the
Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock and such Key Holder desires to
accept a bona fide offer (a "Purchase Offer") from any
person or persons, other than an Affiliate or another Stockholder, to purchase
all (a "Divestiture")
the shares of Common Stock then held by such Key Holder, then such Key Holder
shall promptly deliver to each of the other Stockholders a written notice (the
"Purchase Offer Notice")
stating such Key Holder’s intention to sell such shares pursuant to such
Purchase Offer and setting forth the terms and conditions of such Purchase
Offer, including, without limitation, the identity of the proposed purchaser and
the amount and type of consideration to be paid therefor. The
Purchase Offer Notice shall include a copy of any written offer, letter of
intent, term sheet or contract of sale pertaining to the Purchase
Offer.
(b)
In connection with a Divestiture, any Key Holder owning more than fifty percent
(50%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock shall have the right
("Drag Along Right") to
require each other Stockholder to participate in such sale of Common
Stock by such Key Holder on the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase
Offer Notice (which shall be the same terms and conditions (on a per share
basis) as are applicable to such Key Holder’s sale of shares of Common Stock to
the proposed purchaser). Such Drag Along Right shall be exercisable
by such Key Holder including in its Purchase Offer Notice a statement to the
effect that such Key Holder elects to exercise its Drag Along Right in
connection with the proposed sale. At any time prior to the closing
of such sale, such Key Holder may withdraw its election to exercise its Drag
Along Right upon written notice to the Stockholders.
(c) The
closing of the purchase and sale of any shares of Common Stock to be sold
pursuant to the Drag Along Right shall occur concurrently with the closing of
the sale of the shares of the Common Stock by the Key Holder owning more than
fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock, which
shall be a date not less than sixty (60) days after the giving of the Purchase
Offer Notice. At any such closing, each Stockholder shall
deliver to the purchaser a certificate or certificates representing the number
of shares of Common Stock to be sold by such Stockholder, duly endorsed in blank
or accompanied by a duly executed stock power in blank, with signatures duly
guaranteed and all requisite stock transfer stamps affixed
thereto. All Stockholders shall be treated equally under this Section
5.5. It shall be a condition of the obligation to sell under
this Section
5.5 that all facts and circumstances and all material aspects of any
transaction under this Section 5.5 shall be
disclosed. The provisions of this Section 5.5 shall
terminate upon an IPO.
-10-
5.6. Effect of Failure to
Comply.
(a) Any
Proposed Transfer not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement
shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books of the
Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the
Company. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any breach of
this Agreement would result in substantial harm to the other parties hereto for
which monetary damages alone could not adequately
compensate. Therefore, the parties hereto unconditionally and
irrevocably agree that any non-breaching party hereto shall be entitled to seek
protective orders, injunctive relief and other remedies available at law or in
equity (including, without limitation, seeking specific performance or the
rescission of purchases, sales and other transfers of Common Stock not made in
strict compliance with this Agreement).
(b) If
any Stockholder becomes obligated to sell any Common Stock to the Company under
this Agreement and fails to deliver such Common Stock in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, the Company may, at its option, in addition to all
other remedies it may have, send to such Stockholder the purchase price for such
Common Stock as is herein specified and cancel on its books the certificate or
certificates representing the Common Stock to be sold.
(c) If
any Stockholder purports to sell any Common Stock in contravention of the terms
of this Agreement (a “Prohibited Transfer”), the
Company or a Key Holder, as the case may be, in addition to such remedies as may
be available by law, in equity or hereunder,
is entitled to require the following actions of such Stockholder, and such
Stockholder will be bound by the terms of such option:
(i) If
a Stockholder makes a Prohibited Transfer, a Key Holder or the Company, as the
case may be, who timely exercises his, her or its Right of First Refusal under
Sections 5.1
and 5.2 may
require such Stockholder, to sell to the other Key Holder or the Company, as the
case may be, the number of shares of Common Stock that such other Key Holder or
the Company, as the case may be, would have been entitled to purchase under
Sections 5.1
and 5.2 had the
Prohibited Transfer been effected pursuant to and in compliance with the terms
of Sections 5.1
and 5.2.
(ii) If
a Key Holder makes a Prohibited Transfer, the other Key Holder that timely
exercises its Right of Co-Sale under Section 5.4 may
require such Key Holder to purchase from it the number of shares of Common Stock
that such Key Holder would have been entitled to sell to the Prospective
Transferee under Section 5.4 had the
Prohibited Transfer been effected pursuant to and in compliance with the terms
of Section
5.4.
-11-
In each
case, the sale will be made on the same terms and subject to the same conditions
as would have applied had the Stockholder not made the Prohibited Transfer,
except that the sale (including, without limitation, the delivery of the shares
or the purchase price, as the case may be) must be made within ninety (90) days
after the Company or the other Key Holder, as the case may be, learns of the
Prohibited Transfer, as opposed to the timeframe proscribed in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, or 5.5 as the case may
be. Such Stockholder shall also reimburse the other Key Holder and
the Company, as the case may be, for any and all fees and expenses, including
legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted
exercise of the Key Holder’s or the Company’s, as the case may be, rights under
Sections 5.1,
5.2, 5.3, 5.4, or 5.5 as the case may
be.
5.7. Assistance with Pledging of
Interests. The rights of the Company and the Key Holders under
this Section 5
shall not pertain or apply to any pledge by a Key Holder of its Common Stock
which creates a mere security interest in such Common Stock. The Company shall
consent to any pledging of any Key Holder’s Common Stock and other matters
customarily requested of the Key Holders by the Key Holders’ lenders; provided that any
pledge of Common Stock shall be contingent upon the pledgee providing a written
instrument to the Company agreeing in writing that its lien is subject to the
terms of this Agreement.
6. Exempt
Transfers.
6.1. Transfers to Affiliates,
Etc. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary
herein, the provisions of Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4 shall not apply:
(i) in the case of a Key Holder that is an entity, upon a transfer by such Key
Holder to its stockholders, members, partners or other equity holders, (ii) to a
repurchase of Common Stock from a Key Holder by the Company at a price no
greater than that originally paid by such Key Holder for such Common Stock and
pursuant to an agreement containing vesting and/or repurchase provisions
approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, or (iii) to the sale or
transfer of Common Stock between Key Holders and their respective Affiliates;
provided, however, that such
transfer shall be contingent upon the transferee providing a written instrument
to the
Company notifying the Company of such transfer and assignment and agreeing in
writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; and provided further,
notwithstanding any such permitted transfer, such transferred Common Stock shall
remain Common Stock and Key Holder Stock for all purposes hereunder, and such
transferee shall be treated as a Key Holder, as the case may be, (but only with
respect to the securities so transferred to the transferee) for all purposes of
this Agreement (including the obligations of a Key Holder with respect to
Proposed Transfers of such Capital Stock pursuant to Section 5); and provided, further, in the case
of any transfer pursuant to clause (i), that such transfer is made pursuant to a
transaction in which there is no consideration actually paid for such
transfer.
6.2. Public
Offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the
contrary herein, the provisions of Section 5 shall not
apply to the sale of any Common Stock to the public in an IPO, and the
provisions of Section
5 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon (a) the
consummation of the IPO, or (b) the Company first becoming subject to the
periodic reporting requirements of Sections 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act,
whichever event shall first occur.
-12-

to purchase the entirety of the Triggering Key Holder’s Common Stock
at the Per-Share Buy/Sell Price or (ii) to sell the entirety of its Common Stock
to the Triggering Key Holder at the Per-Share Buy/Sell Price. Within
90 days of the delivery of a Triggering Notice, Management Stockholders shall
have the right to deliver written notices in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.5 (the “Election
Notice”) to the Triggering Key Holder and Responding Key Holder stating
the Management Stockholders’ intent to exercise its right to tag along and sell
the Management Stockholders’ Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this
Section 7. Management Stockholders who elect to exercise their right
to tag along and sell their shares of Common Stock after delivering such
Election Notice shall sell their shares of Common Stock to whichever one of the
Triggering Key Holder and Responding Key Holder is the purchaser of the Common
Stock as described in Section 7.3 in
accordance with the terms and purchase price set forth in the Triggering
Notice. The Management Stockholders’ tag along rights set forth in
this Section
7.2 shall not be applicable to (i) the shares of Common Stock properly
issued or deemed issued to employees or directors of, or consultants to, the
Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the Stock Option Plan (as defined
in Section 8);
or (ii) securities issued in connection with any stock split or stock
dividend of the Company relating to the shares of Common Stock described in
clause (i) of this Section 7.2.
7.3. Cure

Triggering Notice, the Triggering Key Holder shall deliver a written notice in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.5 (the “Cure Period Notice”) to the
Responding Key Holder stating that the Responding Key Holder has failed to
deliver a Response Notice and stating that the Responding Key Holder (with a
copy to the Management Stockholders) has 15 days from delivery of the Cure
Period Notice (the “Cure
Period”) to deliver a Response Notice to the Triggering Key Holder. If
the Responding Key Holder does not deliver a Response Notice within the Cure
Period, the Triggering Key Holder shall, at its sole option, within ten days of
the conclusion of the Cure Period elect: (i) to purchase
the entirety of the Responding Key Holder’s Common Stock at the Per-Share
Buy/Sell Price or (ii) to sell the entirety of its Common Stock to the
Responding Key Holder at the Per-Share Buy/Sell Price. The Management
Stockholders who earlier delivered an Election Notice shall sell their shares of
Common Stock to the purchaser as determined by the immediately preceding
sentence. The Key Holders and the Management Stockholders who earlier
delivered an Election Notice shall thereupon effect a Closing of a sale or
purchase in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.4 pursuant to the terms
of the preceding sentence.
-13-
7.4. Closing. The
closing of a sale or purchase under this Section 7 shall take
place, and stock certificates representing all of the shares of Common Stock of
the Selling Key Holder and Management Shareholders who delivered an Election
Notice, properly endorsed for transfer to the purchasing Key Holder, as well as
all payments from the purchasing Key Holder shall have been delivered to the
selling Key Holder and Management Shareholders who delivered an Election Notice
within forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Response Notice, the Cure
Period Notice or the expiration of the Cure Period, as the case may
be.

Company, on a fully diluted basis following Closing (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement); (ii) the exercise price per share for any options issued under the

EnerTech’s written consent.

Agreement may be amended or modified and the observance of any term hereof may

obligations hereunder, unless such rights and obligations are assigned by such
Stockholder to (a) any person or entity to which Registrable Securities are
transferred by such Stockholder, or (b) to any Affiliate of such Stockholder,
and, in each case, such transferee shall be deemed a “Stockholder” for purposes

default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any
