Seller shall deliver to Purchaser such allocation within seventy five (75) days after the Closing.

(a) liabilities and obligations of Seller under Included Contracts included in the Assets that, by the terms of such Included Contracts, arise after the Closing (other than by virtue of a default or violation of any Included Contract occurring prior to the Closing), relate to periods following the Closing and are to be observed, paid, discharged, or performed as the case may be, at any time after the Closing;

(b) Seller’s obligations to its customers under its standard Warranty Policy, as described in Section 2.3(b) of the Disclosure Schedule (“Warranty Obligations”) with respect to any products sold prior to (or after) the Closing and relating to Assets or the Divisions;

(c) accounts payable, customer deposits and accrued expenses of each of the Divisions as of the Closing Date, in each case as identified on Section 2.3(c) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Payables Schedule”), provided that the Seller shall update the Payables Schedule within thirty (30) days after the Closing to reflect any additions to accounts payable, customer deposits and accrued expenses as of the Closing Date; and provided, further that Purchaser shall not assume accounts payable which have been outstanding and are past due for longer than sixty (60) days prior to the Closing Date; and

(e) Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a schedule identifying the accounts receivable acquired by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, and the accounts payable and the purchases which will result in accounts payable (“Purchases Clearing”) assumed by the Purchaser pursuant

to this Agreement (the “Payables Adjustment Schedule”). The Payables Adjustment Schedule will include a determination of the amount by which such accounts receivable exceeds such accounts payable and Purchases Clearing (the “Closing Date Net Receivables”). If the Closing Date Net Receivables is less than $250,000, Seller shall retain such accounts payable relating to the Divisions and the Assets so that the Closing Date Net Receivables equals or exceeds $250,000. For purposes of the Payables Adjustment Schedule, accounts receivable excludes prepaid expenses relating to the Assets and the Divisions and accounts payable and Purchases Clearing excludes unpaid commissions, accrued expenses and customer deposits relating to the Assets and the Divisions.

Section 2.4 Excluded Liabilities. Purchaser shall not be responsible for any Liabilities, obligations or commitments of Seller that are not specifically set forth in Section 2.3 (collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”). In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 2.3), Purchaser shall not be responsible for any of the following (each of which shall also constitute Excluded Liabilities):

(e) any liability for any Taxes of Seller or Taxes attributable to the Seller, the Divisions or the Assets on or before the Closing Date.

Section 2.5 Inventory Purchase.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, the Parties will coordinate in order to identify the total Inventory relating to the Divisions and the Assets, which Inventory and purchase price thereof to be paid by Purchaser shall be set forth on Section 2.5 of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Inventory Schedule”), provided that the Seller shall update the Inventory Schedule within thirty (30) days after the Closing to reflect any adjustments and/or corrections to the Inventory as of the Closing Date. The purchase price for each item of Inventory on the Inventory Schedule shall be determined in a manner consistent with Seller’s past practice and as follows:

(i) for items designated on the Inventory Schedule as class “A” items, wherever located, the purchase price shall be the Seller’s Direct Material Cost multiplied by 112.5%;

(ii) For items designated on the Inventory Schedule as class “B” items, wherever located, the purchase price shall be equal to (Seller’s Direct Material Cost less the per unit reserve established as of June 30, 2010) and the result multiplied by 60%; and

(iii) For items designated on the Inventory Schedule as class “C” or “Consignment” items, wherever located, the Purchaser shall assume responsibility for payment to vendor.

(clauses (i) and (ii) above are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Inventory Price”).

The Inventory to be purchased under this Agreement shall be the Inventory quantities at Closing as set forth on the updated Inventory Schedule and designated as “Class A Items” or “Class B Items” (the “Transferred Inventory”). The total Inventory Price to be paid by Purchaser to Seller under this Agreement shall be equal to all of the items of Transferred Inventory set forth on the Inventory Schedule multiplied by the Inventory Price thereof (the “Total Inventory Price”) plus One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). All Inventory other than the Transferred Inventory shall be retained by the Seller (“Retained Inventory”), and, notwithstanding Section 7.11 of this Agreement, the Seller shall have the right to sell such Retained Inventory from time to time to third parties in its sole discretion.

(b) Purchaser covenants and agrees to sell each item of Transferred Inventory before it sells any identical item of inventory. For purposes of clarification and example only, and not by way of limitation, if Purchaser has a Savi Note product in Transferred Inventory, it will sell the Savi Note product from Transferred Inventory before it sells a Savi Note that is not part of Transferred Inventory.

(c) From time to time as Transferred Inventory and any other Inventory acquired by Purchaser from Seller is sold by the Purchaser, but no later than on the fifteenth day of the month immediately following the month in which such sale occurred, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to the Inventory Price for each such item of Inventory sold (each, a “Monthly Inventory Payment”). Regardless of the quantity of Transferred Inventory actually sold by the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall pay Seller no less than the Total Inventory Price for all of the Transferred Inventory as follows:

(i) No later than February 28, 2011, the Purchaser shall pay or have paid to the Seller the Total Inventory Price with respect to an aggregate amount of Transferred Inventory equal to no less than fifty percent (50%) (in dollar terms) of the Transferred Inventory.

(ii) No later than May 28, 2011, the Purchaser shall pay or have paid to the Seller the Total Inventory Price with respect to all of the Transferred Inventory plus One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).

(d) Seller’s receipt or acceptance of any payment for any Inventory paid pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall not preclude Seller from questioning the correctness thereof at any time, and upon discovery of any inconsistency or mistake in any such payment, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing setting forth the inconsistency or mistake, and upon mutual agreement by Seller and Purchaser, Purchaser shall immediately rectify such inconsistency or mistake and shall pay the appropriate amount to Seller.

(e) Purchaser shall keep, maintain and preserve accurate books of account and records covering all Inventory purchased, utilized and/or sold by Purchaser. Such books of account and records shall be kept by Purchaser for one (1) year following the end of the calendar year to which they pertain and will be made available under the terms of this Section 2.5(g) during the term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year after the last payment hereunder, if applicable. Subject to the foregoing and upon reasonable notice by Seller made no less than five (5) days in advance and not more often than six (6) times per year, Purchaser will make available to the Seller or its independent auditors reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, for inspection, examination, and audit all records reasonably relating to the purchase, use or sale of Inventory and payment of any amounts under this Section 2.5, including all reasonable supporting documents and invoices, and the physical inspection and counting of the Transferred Inventory and any other applicable Inventory. Any such audit or inspection will occur during normal business hours at the facility in which the records and/or Inventory to be examined reside in the normal course of business and will not be conducted in a manner that disrupts Purchaser’s business operations. Seller will bear all costs of any audit undertaken on its behalf, provided, however, Purchaser will reimburse Seller for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses actually incurred by Seller for an audit or inspection in the event that the audit or inspection discloses amounts due to Seller in excess of the greater of five percent (5%) of amounts actually paid to Seller under this Section 2.5, due to the error or omission of Purchaser. Any documents produced to Seller under this paragraph (g) shall be used only for the purpose of determining amounts owing if any to Seller from Purchaser and Seller shall treat such documents as confidential. After concluding any inspection of records under this paragraph (g), at the request of Purchaser, Seller shall return all documents to Purchaser unless retaining copies of such documents are reasonably necessary for Seller to enforce its rights under this Agreement or otherwise comply with applicable Law.

(f) In the event that any payment due to Seller under this Section 2.5 is not paid within fifteen (15) days after such payment is due hereunder, interest at the

rate of one percent (1 %) per month (12% per annum), or in the event that such rate exceeds the legal limit, then at the maximum legal rate, shall accrue on any amount due to Seller under this Section 2.5 from and after the date upon which payment is due until the date said payment is actually made, without prejudice to any other rights provided by law or equity.

(g) At Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a promissory note substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Promissory Note”). The aggregate principal amount of the Promissory Note shall equal the Total Inventory Price set forth on the Inventory Schedule (as updated pursuant to Section 2.5(a) of this Agreement) plus One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). The Promissory Note shall be paid in full on or before May 28, 2011, shall accrue interest as set forth in Section 2.5(f) above and shall be secured by all of the assets of Purchaser pursuant to a security agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Security Agreement”). Performance and payment by Purchaser of Purchaser’s obligations under the Promissory Note shall be jointly and severally guaranteed by SciTec Energy, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“SciTec”) and CompuPool Products USA, Inc., a Florida corporation (“CompuPool”). The Promissory Note shall be prepaid as Purchaser pays Seller each Monthly Inventory Payment pursuant to Section 2.5(c) above and each Monthly Inventory Payment shall be applied by Seller as a payment of the principal amount of the Promissory Note.

Section 2.6 Guarantee of Purchaser’s Obligations. Each of SciTec and CompuPool hereby represents and warrants that it has a material economic interest, whether direct or indirect, in Purchaser, and that the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will be of direct benefit to each of SciTec and CompuPool (each, a “Performance Guarantor”). Accordingly, each Performance Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Seller the full, timely and prompt performance and payment by Purchaser of all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including without limitation, under Sections 2.3, 2.5, 2.7 and Article IX of this Agreement and the obligations of Purchaser under the Sublease, Promissory Note and Security Agreement attached hereto as Exhibits B, C and D, respectively, including all amounts due thereunder, and each Performance Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall be directly and primarily liable with respect to the obligations thereunder as if such Performance Guarantor were the Purchaser hereunder.

Section 2.7 Warranty Obligations for Pre-Closing Products. During the term of any applicable Warranty Obligations relating to products of the Divisions sold prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser hereby agrees and covenants to service in accordance with the Warranty Obligations, at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser, any claims under Warranty Obligations and perform any warranty work, at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser, on products of the Divisions sold prior to the Closing Date in accordance with the Warranty Obligations.

Claims thereafter may be asserted regardless of amount. Seller’s maximum liability to Purchaser Indemnitees shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Closing Payment.

Section 9.2 Indemnity Obligations of Purchaser. Purchaser covenants and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, successors and assigns and the respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, advisers and representatives of the foregoing (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Losses based on, resulting from, arising out of or relating to: (i) any material misrepresentation or material breach of warranty of Purchaser contained in the Transaction Documents, (ii) any failure of Purchaser to perform any covenant or agreement made or contained in the Transaction Documents or fulfill any other obligation in respect thereof, (iii) the Assumed Liabilities, or (iv) Warranty Obligations with respect to products sold prior to (or after) the Closing and relating to the Assets or the Divisions.

Section 9.3 Indemnification Procedures. (a) Third Party Claims. In the case of any claim asserted by a third party against a party entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), notice shall be given by the Indemnified Party to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) as soon as practicable after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought. If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges that the third party claim is within the scope of the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party) to assume the defense of any third party claim or any litigation with a third party resulting therefrom; provided, however, that (a) the counsel for the Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation shall be subject to the approval of the Indemnified Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (b) the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense (which shall not be subject to reimbursement hereunder except as provided below), and (c) the failure by any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually and materially damaged as a result of such failure to give notice. Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party or that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a general release from any and all liability with respect to such claim or litigation. If the Indemnified Party shall in good faith determine that the conduct of the defense of any claim subject to indemnification hereunder or any proposed settlement of any such claim by the Indemnifying Party might be expected to affect adversely the ability of the Indemnified Party to conduct its business, or that the Indemnified Party may have available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more of those that may be available to the Indemnifying Party in respect of such claim or any litigation relating thereto, the Indemnified Party shall have the right at all times to take over and assume control over the defense, settlement, negotiations or litigation relating to any such claim at the sole cost of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party does so take over and assume control, the Indemnified Party shall not settle such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party does not accept the defense of any matter as above provided within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice from the Indemnified Party described above, the Indemnified Party shall have the full right to defend against any such claim or demand at the sole cost of the Indemnifying Party and shall be entitled to settle or agree to pay in full such claim or demand. In any event, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of any claim or litigation subject to this Article IX and the records of each shall be reasonably available to the other with respect to such defense.

(b) Non-Third Party Claims. With respect to any claim for indemnification hereunder which does not involve a third party claim, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party written notice of such claim. The Indemnifying Party may acknowledge and agree by notice to the Indemnified Party in writing to satisfy such claim within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice of such claim from the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party shall dispute such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice of such dispute to the Indemnified Party within such 20-day period, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of such dispute. Upon receipt of notice of any such dispute, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days of the date such notice of dispute is received. If the Indemnifying Party shall fail to provide written notice to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party either acknowledges and agrees to pay such claim or disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to pay such claim in full and to have waived any right to dispute such claim. Once (a) the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged and agreed to pay any claim pursuant to this Section 9.3, (b) any dispute under this Section 9.3 has been resolved in favor of indemnification by mutual agreement of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, or (c) any dispute under this Section 9.3 has been finally resolved in favor of indemnification by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other tribunal (including an arbitrator contemplated by this agreement) having jurisdiction over such dispute, then the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such claim to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days of the date of acknowledgement by the Indemnifying Party or final resolution in favor of indemnification, as the case may be, to such account and in such manner as is designated in writing by the Indemnified Party.

Section 9.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until the expiration of a one (1) year period with the first day of such period commending on the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties stated in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 4.1 and 4.2 shall survive indefinitely.

Section 9.5 Exclusive Remedy. Absent fraud or criminal activity and except as provided under Section 7.4, the indemnifications provided for in this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive post-Closing remedies available to either party against the other party for any claims under or based upon this Agreement. Seller acknowledges that the representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents shall not be deemed waived or otherwise affected by any investigation by or on behalf of Purchaser.

Section 9.6 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price to the extent permitted by applicable Law.
