2.2.1 At the Effective Time all of the shares of capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding on the Merger Closing Date (the “WaterEye Shares”), shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive a total number of shares of common stock of Open Energy, par value $.001 per share (the “Open Energy Merger Shares”) equal to the number derived by dividing $2,911,423.27 by the VWAP.

2.2.2 Each share of Company capital stock held in the treasury of the Company and each option or other right to acquire Company stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled, and no shares of Open Energy common stock shall be issued in respect thereof.

2.2.3 At the Effective Time, all WaterEye Shares shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, no longer be outstanding and shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such WaterEye Shares, except the right of the Sellers to receive Open Energy Merger Shares hereunder.

2.2.4 (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to each WaterEye Share as to which the holder thereof shall have properly complied with the provisions of section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) as to appraisal rights (each, a “Dissenting Share”), if any, such holder shall be entitled to payment, solely from the Surviving Corporation, of the appraisal value of the Dissenting Shares to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the provisions of section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that (i) if any holder of Dissenting Shares, under the circumstances permitted by and in accordance with the DGCL, affirmatively withdraws such holder’s demand for appraisal of such Dissenting Shares, (ii) if any holder of Dissenting Shares fails to establish such holder’s entitlement to appraisal rights as provided in the DGCL or (iii) if any holder of Dissenting Shares takes or fails to take any action the consequence of which is that such holder is not entitled to payment for such holder’s shares under the DGCL, such holder or holders (as the case may be) shall forfeit the right to appraisal of such WaterEye Shares and such shares shall thereupon cease to constitute Dissenting Shares and if such forfeiture shall occur following the election deadline, each such WaterEye Share shall thereafter be deemed to have been converted into and to have become, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive, without interest thereon, Open Energy Merger Shares.

(c) Promptly after the Effective Time, but in no event later than five (5) days after the Effective Time, Open Energy and the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding WaterEye Shares, whose shares were converted into the right to receive Open Energy Merger Shares (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) pursuant to Section 2.2.1, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon receipt of the Certificates by the Exchange Agent, and shall be in customary form and have such other provisions as Open Energy and the Surviving Corporation may reasonably specify); (ii) such other customary documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions; and (iii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing Open Energy Merger Shares (and cash in lieu of fractional shares).

(d) No dividends or other distributions with respect to Open Energy Merger Shares with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the WaterEye Shares represented thereby until the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to applicable law, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates representing whole Open Energy Merger Shares issued in exchange therefor, without interest at the time of such surrender, the amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable (but for the provisions of this Section 2.2.5(d)) with respect to such Open Energy Merger Shares.

(e) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers of WaterEye Shares thereafter on the records of the Company.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the stockholders of the Company one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Open Energy, upon demand, and any stockholders of the Company who have not previously complied with this Section 2.2.5 shall thereafter look only to Open Energy for payment of their claim for the Open Energy Merger Shares and the cash in lieu of fractional shares such stockholder would be entitled to pursuant to Section 2.2.1 and any dividends or distributions with respect to Open Energy Merger Shares.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.2.5, none of the Exchange Agent, Open Energy, the Surviving Corporation or any party hereto shall be liable to any person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(h) The provisions of this Section 2.2.5 shall also apply to Dissenting Shares that lose their status as such, except that the obligations of Open Energy under this Section 2.2.5 shall commence on the date of loss of such status and the holder of such shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange for such shares the Open Energy Merger Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2.1 hereof.

(i) Each of the Exchange Agent, Open Energy and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of WaterEye Shares such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

2.2.6 In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Open Energy shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof such Open Energy Merger Shares (and dividends, distributions and cash in lieu of fractional shares) as may be required pursuant to Section 2.2.1; provided, however, that Open Energy may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Open Energy, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

9	Termination

9.1 Termination Events. This Agreement may, by notice given prior to or at the Merger Closing, be terminated:

9.1.1 by either Open Energy or by the Company if a material Breach of any provision of this Agreement has been committed by the other party and such Breach has not been waived (provided, however, that any Breach by any of the Sellers shall not permit the Company to so terminate);

9.1.2 by Open Energy if any of the conditions in Section 7 has not been satisfied as of the Merger Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of Open Energy or Buyer to comply with their obligations under this Agreement) and Open Energy has not waived such condition on or before the Merger Closing Date;

9.1.3 by the Company, if any of the conditions in Section 8 have not been satisfied as of the Merger Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of the Company or the Sellers to comply with their obligations under this Agreement) and the Company has not waived such condition on or before the Merger Closing Date;

9.1.4 by the Company if the Board of Directors of the Company accepts a Superior Proposal pursuant to Section 5.6.1 and Open Energy has not matched such Superior Proposal pursuant to Section 5.6.2;

9.1.5 by mutual consent of the Company and Open Energy; or

9.2 Effect of Termination. Each party's right of termination under Section 9.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an election of remedies. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, except that the obligations in Sections 11.1 and 11.3 will survive; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated by a party because of the Breach of the Agreement by the other party or because one or more of the conditions to the terminating party's obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the other party's failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the terminating party's right to pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired.

10	Indemnification; Remedies

10.1 Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations in this Agreement, the Disclosure Letter, the supplements to the Disclosure Letter, the Open Energy Disclosure Letter, the supplements to the Open Energy Disclosure Letter and any certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement will survive the Merger Closing for a period of one (1) year.

10.2 Indemnification and Payment of Damages by the Sellers. The Sellers will indemnify and hold harmless Open Energy and Buyer and their respective Representatives, stockholders, controlling persons, and affiliates (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) for, and will pay to the Indemnified Persons the amount of, any loss, liability, claim, damage (including incidental and consequential damages), or expense (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys' fees), whether or not involving a third-party claim, but in all events after deduction for any tax benefit arising out of the circumstances that gave rise to the underlying loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (collectively, “Damages”), arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with:

10.2.1 any Breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or Sellers in this Agreement or any other certificate or document delivered by the Company or Sellers pursuant to this Agreement;

10.2.2 any Breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or Sellers in this Agreement as if such representation or warranty were made on and as of the Merger Closing Date;

10.2.3 any Breach by the Company or Sellers of any of their covenants or obligations in this Agreement;

10.2.4 any claim by any Person for brokerage or finder's fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by any such Person with either Sellers or the Company (or any Person acting on their behalf) in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions;

10.2.5 any Environmental, Health, and Safety Liabilities arising out of or relating to the ownership, operation, or condition at any time on or prior to the Merger Closing Date of the Facilities or any other properties and assets (whether real, personal, or mixed and whether tangible or intangible) in which the Company has or had an interest; and

10.2.6 any exercise of appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL by a WaterEye stockholder.

provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Sellers do not indemnify Open Energy or Buyer, and Sellers shall have no liability whatsoever to Open Energy or Buyer, for any Damages arising out of or related to the Merger not being treated as a tax-free reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes.

10.3 Indemnification and Payment of Damages by Open Energy. Open Energy will indemnify and hold harmless Sellers, and their respective heirs and legal representatives (collectively, the "Indemnified Sellers") for, and will pay to the Indemnified Sellers the amount of, any loss, liability, claim, damage (including incidental and consequential damages), or expense (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys' fees), whether or not involving a third-party claim (collectively, "Damages"), arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with:

10.3.1 any Breach of any representation or warranty made by Open Energy or Buyer in this Agreement, or any other certificate or document delivered by Open Energy or Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;

10.3.2 any Breach of any representation or warranty made by Open Energy or Buyer in this Agreement as if such representation or warranty were made on and as of the Merger Closing Date;

10.3.3 any Breach by Open Energy or Buyer of any of their covenants or obligations in this Agreement;

10.3.4 any claim by any Person for brokerage or finder's fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by any such Person with either Open Energy or Buyer (or any Person acting on their behalf) in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions; and

10.3.5 all liabilities (on an actual, after tax basis) attributable to the operations or transactions of the Company after the Merger Closing Date.

10.4 Indemnity Limitations

10.4.1 Time of Claim. If the Merger Closing occurs, the parties responsible for indemnification under Sections 10.2 and 10.3 (individually an “Indemnifying Party” or collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”) will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) for any claims, whether or not involving a third-party claim, which, but for the passage of time could have been processed as an indemnity claim, unless on or before one (1) year after the Merger Closing Date, the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Seller (individually an “Indemnified Party” or collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) notifies the Indemnifying Party of a claim specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by the claimant.

10.4.2 Sellers Indemnity Amount and Payment. The liability of the Sellers to provide indemnity under this Agreement is limited to an amount equal to the value of the General Holdback Stock at the Merger Closing Date. Thirty (30) days after the final determination of the right to and amount of each indemnity claim, if the claim has not been paid in full in cash or other good funds, Open Energy may transfer from the General Holdback Account the number of shares equal in value to the amount of the claim. The number of shares to be transferred shall be determined by dividing the amount of the claim by the higher of the per share value of the General Holdback Stock on the Merger Closing Date or the per share closing bid value of Open Energy common stock on the date of the final determination (or if not a trading day, the next preceding trading day). If the claim is paid in full within thirty days after the final determination, the number of shares which would have been transferable to satisfy the claim shall be released from the General Holdback Account to the Sellers.

10.4.3 Open Energy and Buyer Indemnity Amount and Payment. The liability of Open Energy and Buyer to provide indemnity under this Agreement is limited to an amount equal to the value of the General Holdback Stock at the Merger Closing Date. Within thirty days after the final determination of the right to and amount of each indemnity claim, Open Energy shall either pay the claim in full in cash or other good funds, or transfer to the Indemnified Seller the number of shares equal in value to the amount of the claim. The number of shares to be transferred shall be determined by dividing the amount of the claim by the higher of the per share value of the General Holdback Stock on the Merger Closing Date or the per share closing bid value of Open Energy common stock on the date of the final determination (or if not a trading day, the next preceding trading day).

10.4.4 Deductible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be a deductible of $50,000 with respect to the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations. Unless said deductible is exceeded, the Indemnifying Party shall have no indemnification obligation hereunder and if said deductible is exceeded, the Indemnifying Party shall only be responsible for that amount which exceeds the $50,000 deductible.

10.4.5 Exclusive Remedy. The remedies provided in this Section 10 are the exclusive remedies available to the Indemnified Parties for any claim which, but for the passage of time could have been processed as an indemnity claim.

10.5 Procedure for Indemnification -- Third Party Claims

10.5.1 Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party 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 Proceeding and the claim for indemnity, 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.

10.5.2 If any Proceeding referred to in Section 10.5.1 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 (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 Section 10 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 (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) 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.

10.5.3 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).

10.5.4 The Indemnified Parties hereby consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding may be brought against any Indemnified Party for purposes of any claim that an Indemnified Party may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein.

10.5.5 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.5, the Indemnified Party must give written notice of its claim for indemnification for the third party claim to the Indemnifying Party within one year following the Merger Closing Date. The notice of indemnity claim shall specify in reasonable detail each individual item of damage, loss, or expense included in the aggregate amount stated, the date each item was paid or properly accrued or the basis for any anticipated liability, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or claim to which each item is related. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after delivery of the notice of indemnity claim to object in writing to the claim. Notice of objection shall be given within the thirty-day period. If no notice of objection is given, the thirty-first (31^st) day after the notice of claim shall be deemed to be the date of the final determination of the right to indemnity.

10.6 Procedure for Indemnification -- Other Claims

10.6.1 A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted within one year following the Merger Closing Date by written notice to the Indemnifying Party. The notice of indemnity claim shall specify in reasonable detail each individual item of damage, loss, or expense included in the aggregate amount stated, the date each item was paid or properly accrued or the basis for any anticipated liability, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or claim to which each item is related.

10.6.2 The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after delivery of the notice of indemnity claim to object in writing to the claim. Notice of objection shall be given within the thirty-day period. If no notice of objection is given, the thirty-first (31^st) day after the notice of claim shall be deemed to be the date of the final determination of the right to and amount of the indemnity claim and it shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.4.

10.7 Dispute Resolution - Indemnity Claims

10.7.1 If the Indemnifying Party has objected in writing to any indemnity claim made pursuant to Section 10.5, 10.6 or in any other manner, Sellers through the Stockholders’ Representative and Open Energy will attempt in good faith to agree on the rights of the respective parties regarding each disputed indemnity claim. If they agree, a memorandum setting forth the agreement will be prepared and signed by both parties and payment will be made in accordance with the memorandum.

10.7.2 If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, either Buyer or Stockholders’ Representative may demand arbitration of the matter; and in such event the American Arbitration Association will be asked to appoint one arbitrator to rule on the matter, such appointment to be in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Any such arbitration will be held in San Diego County, California, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. The decision of the arbitrator about the validity of any indemnity claim will be binding and conclusive on the Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Parties to the agreement; and payments, if any due, will be made in accordance with Section 10.4. Each party to the arbitration will pay its own expenses, and the fee of the arbitrator and the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association will be paid one half by Indemnifying Party and one half by Indemnified Party. Judgment on any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the matter.

11	Appointment of the Stockholders’ Representative.

11.1 Powers of Attorney. Effective on the Effective Date, each of the Sellers hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Xxxxxx Xxxxx as the Stockholders’ Representative to act as such Person’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent and authorizes the Stockholders’ Representative acting for such Seller and in such Seller’s name, place and stead, in any and all capacities to do and perform every act and thing required or permitted to be done in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any agreements executed in connection herewith, as fully to all intents and purposes as such Seller might or could do in person, including, without limitation:

11.1.1 to take any and all action on behalf of the Sellers from time to time as the Stockholders’ Representative may deem necessary or desirable to fulfill the interests and purposes of this Agreement and to engage agents and representatives (including accountants and legal counsel) to assist in connection therewith;

11.1.2 to deliver all notices required to be delivered by the Sellers or any of them;

11.1.3 to receive all notices required to be delivered to the Sellers or any of them;

11.1.4 to negotiate, execute and deliver, and take all actions necessary or advisable, or which may be required, in connection with the General Holdback Stock and General Holdback Account;

11.1.5 to take all actions necessary to handle and resolve claims by Buyer and/or Open Energy against the Sellers under this Agreement (including, without limitation, claims for indemnification) and any agreement executed in connection herewith;

11.1.6 to retain legal counsel in connection with any and all matters referred to herein or relating hereto (which counsel may, but need not, be counsel for the Company);

11.1.7 to make, acknowledge, verify and file on behalf of any Seller applications, consents to service of process and such other documents, undertakings or reports as may be required by any Legal Requirement as determined by the Stockholders’ Representative in his sole discretion after consultation with counsel; and

11.1.8 to make, exchange, acknowledge and deliver all such other contracts, powers of attorney, orders, receipts, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, letters and other writings, and in general to do all things and to take all actions, that the Stockholders’ Representative in his sole discretion may consider necessary or proper in connection with or to carry out the aforesaid, as fully as could the undersigned if personally present and acting.

Each of the Sellers grants unto said attorney-in-fact and agent full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing necessary or desirable to be done in connection with the matters described above, as fully to all intents and purposes as said Security Holder might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that the Stockholders’ Representative may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. EACH SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS HIS, HER OR ITS EXPRESS INTENTION TO HEREBY GRANT A DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY UNTO THE STOCKHOLDERS’ REPRESENTATIVE AND THAT THIS DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY IS NOT AFFECTED BY SUBSEQUENT INCAPACITY OF SUCH SELLER EXCEPT AS PROVIDED UNDER DELAWARE LAW. Each of the Sellers further acknowledges and agrees that upon execution of this Agreement, any delivery by the Stockholders’ Representative of any waiver, amendment, agreement, opinion, release of claims, certificate, consent, notice, election or other documents executed by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 11, such Person shall be bound by such documents as fully as if such Person had executed and delivered such documents. Upon the death or incapacity of the Stockholders’ Representative, Sellers that represent more than fifty percent (50%) of the WaterEye Shares shall be entitled to appoint his successor.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the Effective Time, Stockholders’ Representative shall furnish such addenda or other instruments reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Open Energy from any WaterEye stockholder to the extent such stockholder is not a signatory to this Agreement agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of Section 11 of this Agreement, including the appointment of Stockholders’ Representative, in such capacity, pursuant hereto, so that he, as Stockholders’ Representative, have full power and authority to act for and on behalf of, and to bind by their decisions, all the WaterEye stockholders in accordance with the terms hereof.

11.2 Liability of the Stockholders’ Representative. The Stockholders’ Representative shall not have, by reason of this Agreement or the performance of services as the Stockholders’ Representative, a fiduciary relationship with any Seller. The Stockholders’ Representative shall not be liable to any Seller for any action taken or omitted by him hereunder or under any other document executed or delivered hereunder, or in connection therewith, except that the Stockholders’ Representative shall not be relieved of any liability imposed by law for willful misconduct. The Stockholders’ Representative shall not be liable to any Seller for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by him in good faith, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Seller to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from other Sellers any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled. The Stockholders’ Representative shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement. Each of the Sellers acknowledges and agrees that the Stockholders’ Representative shall not be obligated to take any actions and shall be entitled to take such actions as the Stockholders’ Representative deems appropriate in the Stockholders’ Representative’s sole discretion.

11.3 Actions of the Stockholders’ Representative. Each Seller agrees that Buyer and Open Energy shall be entitled to rely on any action taken collectively by the Stockholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Sellers pursuant to Section 11.1 above (each, an “Authorized Action”), and that each Authorized Action shall be binding on each Seller as fully as if such Person had taken such Authorized Action.

12	Tax Matters

12.1 Transfer Taxes. Open Energy shall be responsible for the timely payment of, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers from and against, all Transfer Taxes, if any, arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger. Open Energy shall prepare and file all necessary documentation and Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

12.2 Tax Returns. Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.1 above,

12.2.1 Sellers shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed when due all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company for taxable years or periods ending on or before the Merger Closing Date, and Sellers shall remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. To the extent allowed by law, all such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice.

12.2.2 Open Energy shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed when due all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company or Buyer for taxable years or periods ending after the Merger Closing Date, and Open Energy shall remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. To the extent any Tax shown as due on any such Tax Return is payable by Sellers (taking into account indemnification obligations hereunder), (A) such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the prior practice of the Company unless otherwise required by law; (B) such Tax Return shall be provided to the Stockholders’ Representative at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing such return (or, if required to be filed within forty-five (45) days after the earlier of the Merger Closing Date, as soon as possible following the Merger Closing Date and sufficiently in advance of filing that the Sellers shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Tax Return); and (C) the Sellers shall have the right to approve (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) such Tax Return. For this purpose, Sellers’ withholding of approval of a Tax Return based upon Open Energy’s failure to adopt in such Tax Return an alternative reporting position suggested by the Sellers shall be deemed reasonable if the reporting position proposed by the Sellers on such Tax Return is “more likely than not” to prevail as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.6662-4(d)(2) (it being understood that such standard shall be applied whether or not the underlying Tax Return is an income Tax Return).

12.3 Computation of Tax Liabilities. To the extent permitted or required by law or administrative practice, the taxable year of the Company which includes the Merger Closing Date shall be treated as closing on the Merger Closing Date. Where it is necessary for purposes of this Agreement to apportion between Sellers and Open Energy the Taxes of the Company or Buyer for a taxable year or period (or portion thereof) that includes but does not end on the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) (which is not treated under the immediately preceding sentence as closing on the Merger Closing Date), such liability shall be apportioned between the period deemed to end on the Merger Closing Date, and the period deemed to begin at the beginning of the day following the Merger Closing Date on the basis of an interim closing of the books, except that Taxes (such as real or personal property Taxes) imposed on a periodic basis and not imposed on income or receipts shall be allocated on a daily basis (based upon a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Merger Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period); provided, however, that Taxes allocated to the period prior to the Merger Closing Date shall not be adversely affected by an extraordinary action or transaction or change in the assets or operations of the Company that occurs after the Effective Time. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall be responsible for any Taxes attributable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any Taxes arising from the failure of the Merger to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under section 368 of the Code.

12.4 Amended Returns. Open Energy and, after the Merger Closing, Buyer, shall not file or cause to be filed any Tax Return that relates to any Tax period or portion thereof that ends on or before the Merger Closing Date without the consent of the Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

12.5 Refunds And Tax Benefits. Any Tax refunds that are received by the Sellers, its affiliates or the Buyer and any amounts credited against Tax to which any of the foregoing become entitled that relate to any Tax period or portion thereof ending on or before the Merger Closing Date shall be for the account of the Sellers, and Open Energy shall pay over to the Sellers any such refund or the amount of any such credit within thirty (30) days after receipt or entitlement thereto. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "refund" shall mean the receipt of cash, an actual reduction in Tax paid and the use of an overpayment as a credit or other Tax offset by Open Energy, its affiliates or the Buyer.

12.6 Tax Proceedings. If any taxing authority conducts any audit or investigation relating to the Company for any taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning prior to the Merger Closing Date, the Sellers may, at their sole election, have the right to represent the Company in such audit or investigation and to provide any response required in connection therewith. In no event shall Open Energy or Buyer settle any audit or investigation relating to any period or portion thereof that ends on or before the Merger Closing Date in a manner which would adversely affect the Company or the Sellers without the prior written consent of the Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

12.7 Assistance and Cooperation. After the Merger Closing Date, Sellers and Open Energy shall (and Open Energy shall cause its respective affiliates to) (i) assist the other party in preparing any Tax Returns which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing in accordance with Section 12.2, and (ii) cooperate fully in preparing for any audits of, or disputes with any Governmental Body, including any taxing authority, regarding, any Tax Returns of the Company. Such cooperation shall include providing, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information relating to the Company (including access to books and records) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of any Tax Returns, the making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any taxing authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax Return. Open Energy shall retain all books and records with respect to Taxes pertaining to the Company until the applicable period for assessment under applicable law (giving effect to any and all extensions or waivers) has expired, and to abide by or cause the abidance with all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority. Open Energy shall and shall cause the Buyer to give the Sellers reasonable notice prior to transferring, discarding or destroying any such books and records relating to Tax matters and, if the Sellers so requests, the Buyer shall allow the Sellers to take possession of such books and records. Open Energy shall cooperate with the Sellers in the conduct of any audit or other proceeding related to Taxes involving the Company for any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the close of business on the Merger Closing Date and Open Energy, and after the Merger Closing the Buyer, each shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Article 12.

13	General Provisions

13.1 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement will bear its respective expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, and performance of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, including all fees and expenses of agents, representatives, counsel, and accountants. Sellers will pay all amounts payable to finder or investment banker in connection with this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions. Sellers will cause the Company not to incur any out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Agreement in excess of $50,000. In the event of termination of this Agreement, the obligation of each party to pay its own expenses will be subject to any rights of such party arising from a breach of this Agreement by another party.

13.2 Public Announcements. No party shall issue any press release or other public announcement or communication regarding the Contemplated Transactions without the prior approval of Open Energy or the Company, as the case may be, as to the content thereof, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, however, Open Energy shall be permitted, subject to prior notice to the Company, to issue a press release or make a public filing if in the judgment of the Company, such disclosure is a Legal Requirement.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement ("Agreement") is made by and between Open Energy Corporation (the "Company") and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx ("Employee") (individually, a "party" and together, the "parties"). This Agreement shall be effective once signed by all parties.

1. Position. Employee will begin employment with the Company on December 22, 2006, as Senior Vice President of Engineering and Development. Employee will report directly to the CEO of the Company. Employee's overall responsibilities shall initially include the overall management of the technical services and R&D including development and implementation of an operating plan, hiring and oversight of all personnel, and profit & loss performance of the Suncone / CSP operations. Employee's precise responsibilities and job description are subject to change at any time in the sole and absolute discretion of Company. Employee shall be based in Western Nevada County and shall not be required to relocate without his consent. Employee shall devote substantially full time and attention to the business of the Company during the term of this Agreement and shall perform all duties as may be required of Employee.

2. Term. The initial term of this Agreement will begin on December 22, 2006 and shall terminate on December 21, 2007 unless sooner terminated (“Initial Term”). If employment continues beyond the Initial Term, Employee will be employed on an at-will basis. In other words, if employment continues beyond the Initial Term, the Company and the Employee may terminate employment at any time, for any reason, without cause. In addition, if employment continues beyond the Initial Term, the Company retains the right to transfer, demote, suspend or administer discipline with or without cause and with or without notice, at any time. This is the entire understanding with regard to the at-will relationship. The at-will nature of the employment relationship may only be modified in a writing signed by Employee and the Company's President.

3. Compensation. Employee's compensation shall consist of an annual salary, discretionary bonuses, benefits, and stock grants.

3.1 Annual Salary. The Company shall pay to Employee a base salary of $165,000. As with all compensation, the salary will be subject to standard employment and income tax withholding taxes.

3.2 Bonuses. The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, pay Employee a bonus payment as may be determined by the Board of Directors. The fact and the amount of the bonus will be in the Company's sole and absolute discretion and based upon the Company's performance as well as whether Employee meets performance objectives as defined at the beginning of each year.

3.3 Stock Option Grant. The Company hereby agrees to provide the Employee with options for shares (the "Stock Option Grant") of the Company's common stock ("Common Stock"), under the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which options shall vest incrementally to Employee in accordance with Exhibit A and the provisions of the Plan .

3.4 Benefits. Employee shall be eligible to participate in the standard fringe benefits package and incentive compensation plans generally made available to the executive management employees of the Company, as such benefits may be determined, changed, or rescinded from time to time by the Company's Board of Directors. In addition, Company shall pay for Employee’s spouse and dependent coverage under the healthcare benefits package provided for employee.

3.5 Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Employee for any and all expenses reasonably incurred by the Employee incurred in the course and scope of Employee's duties and which are substantiated in accordance with Company's reasonable policies and procedures.

4. Termination.

4.1 By the Company for Cause.

4.1.1 Definition of for Cause. Company may terminate Employee's employment immediately at any time for Cause. In this Agreement, the term "Cause" means: (A) the commission of an act or omission which would constitute a felony; (B) negligence or malfeasance; (C) breach of fiduciary duties to Company, (D) neglect of duties or (E) any other action or omission which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, prospect or reputation or the Employee's performance of his duties.

4.1.2 Effect of Termination for Cause. If Employee is terminated for Cause, this Agreement shall immediately and without notice terminate on the date of termination of employment and Employee shall be entitled to receive only the Base Salary then in effect, through the date of termination. All other obligations to Employee pursuant to this Agreement will become automatically terminated and completely extinguished. Any failure of the Company to exercise its right to terminate the employment of Employee as a result of the existence of any Cause shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of its right to terminate such employment and this Agreement for such Cause or for another Cause.

4.2 Death or Disability of Employee. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of the death or Disability of Employee. Employee (or Employee's heirs) shall be entitled to receive only the Base Salary then in effect through the date of termination. All other Company obligations to Employee pursuant to this Agreement will become automatically terminated and completely extinguished. As used herein, the term "Disability" shall mean Employee's inability to perform the essential functions of the position, with or without reasonable accommodation, as a result of a mental or physical disability or where the reasonable accommodation would result in undue hardship to the Company. In the event of a Disability, the termination date will be the date on which the Board of Directors, makes such a determination.

4.3 Termination Without Cause. The Company may in its sole and absolute discretion terminate Employee's employment without cause and at any time, immediately upon delivery of written notice to Employee. If the Company terminates Employee's employment without cause during the Initial Term, the Company agrees to pay Employee an amount equal to the Base Salary on the regularly scheduled pay periods following the date of termination through the end of the Initial Term. If the Company terminates employee's employment after the end of the Initial Term, the Company shall only be required to pay Employee base salary through the date of termination.

4.4 Employee’s Right to Terminate. During the Initial Term, Employee may terminate this Agreement for any reason upon 60 days written notice by Employee to the Company. Upon receiving notice of termination, the Company may elect to accelerate the effective date of termination, provided that Employee shall be paid the base salary through the end of such sixty (60) day notice period or the end of the term of this Agreement, whichever comes first. After the Initial Term, Employee may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without notice.

4.5 Termination Following a Change in Control. During the Initial Term, in the event Employee is terminated without cause by the Company within twelve (12) months following a "Change in Control" of the Company (as generally defined in the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan), Employee will be entitled to receive the product of 1.5 times annual base salary and most recently paid regular annual bonus in a cash lump sum within five (5) days of termination. Under these circumstances, Employee’s stock options will also become one hundred percent (100%) vested. In addition, Employee’s current health care benefits will continue until the earlier of (i) twelve (12) months following termination of employment or (ii) until Employee becomes eligible for comparable benefits at another employer.

5. Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. The protection of confidential information is essential to the Company. To protect such information, Employee shall not, during the term of this Agreement and for five years after termination, impart to anyone or use any confidential information or trade secrets Employee may acquire in the performance of Employee's duties, except as required by law.

6. No Solicitation. Employee agrees that during Employee's employment and for a one year period after the termination of said employment, Employee will not solicit for hire any current employees of the Company.

7. Assignment of Inventions. Employee agrees that all inventions that (a) are developed using equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secrets of the Company, (b) result from work performed by Employee for the Company, or (c) relate to the Company's business or current or anticipated research and development (collectively “Inventions”), will be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and are hereby irrevocably assigned by Employee to the Company.

8. Assignment of Other Rights. In addition to the foregoing assignment of Inventions to the Company, Employee hereby irrevocably transfers and assigns to the Company: (a) all worldwide patents, patent applications, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights in any Invention, as defined in Section 7; and (b) any and all "Moral Rights" (as defined below) that Employee may have in or with respect to any Invention, as defined in Section 7. Employee also hereby forever waives and agrees never to assert any and all Moral Rights Employee may have in or with respect to any Invention, as defined in Section 7, even after termination of employment behalf of the Company. "Moral Rights" mean any rights to claim authorship of an invention to object to or prevent the modification of any Invention, as defined in Section 7, or to withdraw from circulation or control the publication or distribution of any Invention, as defined in Section 7, and any similar right, existing under judicial or statutory law of any country in the world, or under any treaty, regardless of whether or not such right is denominated or generally referred to as a "moral right."

9. Work for Hire. Employee acknowledges and agrees that any copyrightable works prepared by Employee within the scope of employment are "works for hire" under the Copyright Act and that the Company will be considered the author and owner of such copyrightable works.

10. Labor Code 2870 Notice. I have been notified and understand that the provisions of sections 7, 8, and 9 of this Agreement do not apply to any Invention that qualifies fully under the provisions of Section 2870 of the California Labor Code, which states as follows:

ANY PROVISION IN AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WHICH PROVIDES THAT AN EMPLOYEE SHALL ASSIGN, OR OFFER TO ASSIGN, ANY OF HIS OR HER RIGHTS IN AN INVENTION TO HIS OR HER EMPLOYER SHALL NOT APPLY TO AN INVENTION THAT THE EMPLOYEE DEVELOPED ENTIRELY ON HIS OR HER OWN TIME WITHOUT USING THE EMPLOYER'S EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES, FACILITIES, OR TRADE SECRET INFORMATION EXCEPT FOR THOSE INVENTIONS THAT EITHER: (1) RELATE AT THE TIME OF CONCEPTION OR REDUCTION TO PRACTICE OF THE INVENTION TO THE EMPLOYER'S BUSINESS, OR ACTUALLY OR DEMONSTRABLY ANTICIPATED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT OF THE EMPLOYER, OR (2) RESULT FROM ANY WORK PERFORMED BY THE EMPLOYEE FOR THE EMPLOYER. TO THE EXTENT A PROVISION IN AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT PURPORTS TO REQUIRE AN EMPLOYEE TO ASSIGN AN INVENTION OTHERWISE EXCLUDED FROM BEING REQUIRED TO BE ASSIGNED UNDER CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE SECTION 2870(a), THE PROVISION IS AGAINST THE PUBLIC POLICY OF THIS STATE AND IS UNENFORCEABLE.

11. Human Resources Policy and Procedures. Employee agrees to review and abide by personnel policies as well as any Employee Handbook issued by Company. Employee understands that Company has the right to modify or rescind any policies and procedures for any reason and without notice, except the policy regarding at-will employment.

12. General Provisions.

12.1 Governing Law and Forum. This Agreement shall be governed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Any disputes arising out of Employee's employment or this Agreement shall be brought in San Diego County, California.

12.2 Severability. If any provision in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

12.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains all of the terms agreed upon by the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes any and all prior agreements, arrangements, communications, understandings, documents or rules, either oral or in writing, between the parties for the employment of Employee, and contain all of the covenants and agreements between the parties for such employment in any manner whatsoever. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by any party or anyone acting on behalf of any party which are not embodied in this Agreement. Any modification of this Agreement will be effective only if in writing signed by Employee and Company's President.
