merely voidable.

10. TERMINATION

10.1 Without Cause. This agreement shall not be terminated without cause.

10.2 For Cause.


(a) Either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the
Initial or any Renewal Term of this Agreement for “cause.” The term “cause’’, for purposes of
this Agreement, shall mean a breach of any material obligation under this Agreement, which
remains uncured after written notice of breach or infringement and thirty (30) days opportunity
to cure such breach, except that in the event of a breach associated with non-payment, the
cure period shall be ninety (90) business days.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, either party may terminate for cause
immediately upon written notice (and without opportunity to cure) upon the occurrence of the
following:

(i) if the other party becomes insolvent, makes a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or becomes the subject of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding under any applicable law and such proceeding is not terminated within sixty
(60) days of its commencement; (ii) if the other party ceases to be actively engaged in
business.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, either party may terminate for cause upon
written notice in the event of a material breach of any obligations with respect to title,
proprietary rights, confidentiality or trade secrets, or any infringement caused by any action or
omission of the other party, if such breach cannot be cured. In the event such breach can be
cured, the breaching party shall first be afforded written notice and a five (5) day opportunity to
cure if the breaching party has not previously breached under this provision in the prior year.

10.3 Effect of Termination or Expiration. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement,


any partnership or rights granted hereunder shall terminate and the parties shall have no
further liability or obligations to each other, except for those which survive as specified in this
Agreement.

10.4 Extension for Post-Termination Customer Support. End User agreements for Customer
Support will be between Red Energy and the Partner’s customer. However, in the unlikelihood
that an End User agreement is penned between the Partner and the Partner’s customer, Red
Energy acknowledges that the End User agreement entered into with the Partner’s customers
during the term of this Agreement may have a duration extending beyond the Term hereof,
therefore, after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Red Energy may allow the
Partner to retain the right to use the Product internally only to provide Customer Support until
the expiration of then-existing End User agreements.

11. RELATIONSHIP

11.1 Independent Contractor. The Partner and Red Energy are independent contractors.
No employee of the Partner shall be deemed to be an employee of Red Energy, and vice
versa. Neither party shall have the power to hire or fire the other party’s employees and
except as herein expressly provided, neither party may control or have access to the other
party’s funds or the expenditures thereof, or in any other way exercise dominion or control
over the other party’s business.

11.2 No Employment Relationship; No Joint Venture; No Agency. Neither the Partner nor
any of the individuals whose compensation for services is paid by the Partner is in any way,
directly or indirectly, expressly or by implication, employed by Red Energy, nor shall any of
them be deemed to be employed by Red Energy for purposes of any tax, withholding, or
contribution levied under any national or foreign laws, with respect to employment,
unemployment, disability, or compensation for employment. The Partner accepts exclusive
liability for any payroll taxes, income tax withholding, or contributions imposed by any national
or foreign laws with respect to individuals whose compensation for services is paid by the
Partner. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed so as to give to the Partner any rights of
Red Energy in the business of Red Energy or to entitle it to control in any manner the conduct
of such business. Neither party has the right to bind the other to any agreement with a third
party, or to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of the other party, and neither shall be
liable for the debts or obligations of the other, unless written consent is given. For the
avoidance of doubt this agreement shall not be deemed to give rise to an agency relationship
between the parties.

12. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

12.1 Definition. “Confidential Information’’ consists of (i) any information designated by the
disclosing party as confidential, and (ii) any information relating to Red Energy’s Product
plans, designs, costs, prices, names, finances, marketing plans, business opportunities,
personnel, research, development or know-how, including oral disclosures, except such
information which the parties agree in writing is not confidential. The recipient of Confidential
Information shall use Confidential Information solely for implementing its obligations under this
Agreement.

12.2 General. Neither party will use in any way for its own account or the account of any
third party, nor disclose to any third party, any such Confidential Information revealed to it by
the other party, except as explicitly permitted herein. The recipient agrees to protect any
Confidential Information from disclosure to others with at least the same degree of care as
that which is accorded to its’ own proprietary information, but in no event with less than
reasonable care. In the event of termination of this Agreement, there will be no use or
disclosure by recipient of any Confidential Information of the disclosing party, and the recipient

“Red Energy” Initials ______ ______ “Partner” Initials ______ ______


Page 5 of 17
will not develop or have developed any applications utilising any of the other party’s
Confidential Information.

12.3 Exceptions. The foregoing restrictions will not apply to information that (i) has been
approved for release by written authorisation of the disclosing party, (ii) has become publicly
known through no wrongful act of the recipient, or (iii) has been rightfully received from a third
party authorized to make such disclosure without restriction.

12.4 Notification of Breach. Each party agrees to notify the other promptly in the event of
any breach of confidentiality or security under conditions in which it would appear that any
Confidential Information was prejudiced or exposed to loss. The recipient shall, upon request
of the disclosing party, take all reasonable steps necessary to recover any compromised trade
secrets disclosed to or placed in the possession of the recipient by virtue of this Agreement.

12.5 Remedies. Each party acknowledges that any breach of any of its obligations under
this Section is likely to cause or threaten irreparable harm to the other party, and, accordingly,
the recipient agrees that in such event, the disclosing party shall be entitled to equitable relief
to protect its interest therein, as well as money damages.

13. NON-SOLICITATION

Each party acknowledges that, pursuant to discussions and negotiations of this Agreement or
with the ongoing performance thereof, each may have contact with the employees and
contractors (collectively, the “Employees”) of the other party and that said Employees might
be rendering valuable and/or unique services, the interruption or termination of which might
cause serious disruption to the business interest of the party employing such Employees.
Therefore, each party agrees it will not solicit for the purpose of employment, nor employ the
Employees of the other party who are associated with work related to this Agreement. This
provision shall remain in effect during the term of this Agreement and for 3 months following
termination or expiration.

14. INDEMNIFICATION

14.1 Indemnification for Performance. The Partner shall indemnify and hold Red Energy, its
shareholders, directors, officers, employees, representatives, dealers, Red Energy’s vendors
and assignees harmless against any out-of-pocket liability, cost or expenses incurred by the
Partner and related to any claims arising out of performance by the Partner or its employees
and contractors of its or their duties or the exercise of its or their rights pursuant to this
Agreement and pursuant to any agreement with third parties. For purposes of this
indemnification, “claims’’ means and includes all obligations, such as taxes in connection with
business conducted or sales made by Red Energy or its third parties, actual damages, or
costs reasonably incurred by the indemnified party in the defense of any claim, such as
accountants’, attorneys’ and expert witness fees, costs of investigation and proof of facts,
court costs, other litigation expenses, travel and living expenses. Red Energy shall have the
right to defend or settle any such claim with the reasonable cooperation of the Partner. This
indemnity shall continue in effect even after, and notwithstanding this Agreement’s expiration
or termination.

14.2 Third Party Rights. The Partner hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Red Energy, its affiliates and their shareholders, directors, officers, employees,
representatives, dealers, Red Energy’s vendors, consultants and assignees; against any
liability for any claims of any type whatsoever that the actions of the Partner violated any third

“Red Energy” Initials ______ ______ “Partner” Initials ______ ______


Page 6 of 17
party rights, including but not limited to infringement of any copyright, invasion of privacy or
violation of any other right of any third party or an action arising from or related to the subject
matter, text, graphics, or other content or material on or associated with the Web content
linked by the Partner.

14.3 Insurance. Any insurance required by the Partner to act on behalf of Red Energy, will
be secured and assured to be current by the Partner.

14.4 Indemnification for Infringement. (a) Deferral and Payment of Settlements. Red
Energy may assist in the defense of any suit or proceeding brought against the Partner in so
far as such suit or proceeding is based on a claim that the Product as furnished by it to the
Partner constitutes infringement of any issued United States patent, copyright, or trade secret,
and Red Energy may assist the Partner to pay settlements and costs finally awarded therein
against the Partner, subject to the limitation of liability set forth herein, and provided that Red
Energy: (i) is promptly informed and furnished a copy of each communication, notice or other
action relating to the alleged infringement, (ii) is given authority, information and assistance
necessary to settle, compromise or litigate said suit or proceeding, and (iii) no settlement of
any suit is made without the express permission of Red Energy, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

(b) Alternative Benefits. If Licensed Product is held in any such suit to infringe and the use of
the Product is enjoined, or in the case of a settlement as described above, Red Energy may
exercise its’ right to have the option, at its own expense, to (i) procure for the Partner the right
to continue using the Product, (ii) replace same with a non-infringing Product of substantially
similar functionality, (iii) modify same to make it non-infringing, or (iv) refund the depreciated
cost of the affected Product, and accept the return of same.

14.5 Partner Infringement. Not withstanding anything to the contrary, Red Energy shall not
be obliged to defend or be liable for costs and damages if infringement arises out of
compliance with the Partner’s specifications, incorporation of Partner’s or third party
equipment, applications or software in the Product, from a modification of the Product after
delivery or from other fault or action of the Partner or a third party. Red Energy may decline to
accept orders under this Agreement if infringement caused by any such action of indemnified
party has been alleged, or has occurred.

PRODUCT, AND TO THE BEST OF ITS KNOWLEDGE, THE PRODUCT DOES NOT

the parties have no legal right to contract, the latter shall prevail, but in such event the
provision of this Agreement thus affected shall be curtailed and limited only to the extent
necessary to bring it within the requirements of the law. In the event that any part, article,
paragraph, sentence or clause of this Agreement shall be held to be indefinite, invalid or
otherwise unenforceable, the entire Agreement shall not fail on account thereof and the
balance of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. If any court of competent

court may declare a reasonable modification thereof and this Agreement shall be valid and
enforceable and the parties hereto agree to be bound by and perform the same as thus
modified.

made in writing, and shall be considered effective upon personal delivery; or upon delivery to

Red Energy and the Partner will share profit as follows:

1. Standard Commission; Finders Fee. The Partner will receive an annual (i) commission
equal to 5% of Red Energy’s net profit from each specific project’s operation that the Partner
successfully introduced and facilitated; or 5% of Red Energy’s net profit from a sale of a turn-
key engineering and equipment package; and (ii) a Finders Fee of Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000) for each unique signed Client; whether the Contract is for an ongoing Operation
of a Facility - or – an “Engineering & Equipment” package, regardless of contract size,
the number of facilities, or subsequent contracts (solicited or unsolicited) with the Client.

The Partner will need to, and is expected to, continue to facilitate the sales process and
closing of the deal by assisting REG; whether it be arranging for meetings, assisting in the
permit and licensing process, etc…, post-introduction, as dictated and deemed necessary by
Red Energy Group to successfully execute the deal, in order to be eligible for the full 5%
Commission.

Contract is an ongoing Operation of a Facility. In the case that the Contract is an ongoing
Operation of a Facility, the Commission payment will be made to the Partner, on a
Quarterly basis, within one month (1 month) of the closing and reconciliation of the previous
Quarter’s earnings. (EX: The Commission for Q1 will be paid to the Partner by April 30th.).
The Partner will be eligible for the above described 5% Commission for the life of each
Contract they are credited with, as prescribed in this Agreement; or until said Contract is
Terminated, or if this Agreement is Terminated; whichever is first.

Defintion. The “Net profit” used for the calculation of the Partner’s
Commission of 5% of Red Energy’s Net profit for an ongoing Operation of a
Facility, will be defined to be Red Energy’s profit after COGS, Operating Expenses,
Sales Tax, State and Federal Income Tax, Depreciation, Debt Service & all associated
fees, Sales Tax, State and Federal Income Tax, penalties, Royalties, Licensing costs,
one-time external charges, Finder Fee, imposed fees (any Governmental: Municipal,
State, or Federal), settlements, fines, levies, & charges are deducted. If a profit is not
realized by Red Energy’s operation of the specific project that the Partner
successfully introduced and facilitated for consideration of this Commission for any
Quarter, term, period, or year covered by this Agreement, a Commission will not be
expected to be paid for that period.

Contract is a sale of an “Engineering & Equipment” package. In the case that the

solution) to the Client, the Partner will receive a Commission equal to 5% of Red Energy’s
net profit from the sale.

testing costs, permit fees, Sales Tax, State and Federal Income Tax, Debt Service &
all associated fees, capital investments, penalties, contingencies, cost over-runs,
Broker Fees, Royalties, Licensing costs, one-time external charges, Finder Fee,
imposed fees (any Governmental: Municipal, State, or Federal), settlements, fines,
levies, & charges are deducted. If a profit is not realized by Red Energy’s sale of an
“Engineering & Equipment” package that the Partner successfully introduced and
facilitated for consideration of this Commission for any sales contract covered by this
Agreement, a Commission will not be expected to be paid for that contract.

The Finders Fee of Fifty Thousand ($50,000) will be released to the Partner upon full project
funding. Projects will be considered to be “fully funded” when all funds are transferred and
secured by depository receipt in Red Energy’s account.

2. OffTake/PPA Contract. If the Partner is required by Red Energy, or if the Partner requests
and is cleared by Red Energy, to acquire and arrange for adequate OffTake or Power
Purchase Agreement ( PPA ) contracts (to be determined by the Red Energy and the
funding entity to be of sufficient quality to secure full funding) for any project contemplated
herein, the Partner’s commission will increase, upon the successful consummation of said
contracts, by an additional 2% of Red Energy’s net profit from that specific project’s
operation.

This will provide the Partner with a total commission rate of 7% of Red Energy’s net profit
from that specific project’s operation, as full compensation. The Partner will be eligible for
the above described 7% Commission (the original 5% Commission plus the additional 2%
Offtake/PPA Commission) for the life of each Contract they are credited with, as prescribed
in this Agreement; or until said Contract is Terminated, or if this Agreement is Terminated;
whichever is first. The Finders Fee of Fifty Thousand ($50,000), however will remain the
same and is not eligible for any increase whether the Contract is for an ongoing Operation of
a Facility - or – an “Engineering & Equipment” package, regardless of contract size, the
number of facilities, or subsequent contracts (solicited or unsolicited) with the Client.

A separate Letter of Engagement will be signed by both Parties (Red Energy and the
Partner) on a project by project basis to reflect this agreement to cover the OffTake or PPA
contracts successfully arranged by the Partner. The Letter of Engagement will act as a rider
and addendum to this Agreement.

The Partner will become entitled to the additional 2% commission, and begin to accrue its
2% commission, upon the successful exercise of the qualified OffTake or PPA contract.

3. Subsequent Contracts from Clients Introduced by the Partner. In the case that a Client of
Red Energy’s, that was successfully introduced by the Partner, engages on further contracts
(solicited or unsolicited), the Partner will be entitled to a commission of 3% for each
subsequent contract. The Partner will be eligible for the above described 3% Commission for
the life of each subsequent Contract (solicited or unsolicited) they are credited with, as
prescribed in this Agreement; or until said Contract is Terminated, or if this Agreement is
Terminated; whichever is first.

4. Prospect Period (“Period”). If a Prospect introduced to Red Energy by the Partner fails to
engage by signing a contract for a period of two years (2 years) from the date of first
introduction, the Commission and the Finders Fee arrangements, under either the “Standard
Commission” or the “OffTake/PPA Contract” clause above will no longer apply even if the
Prospect re-engages Red Energy (solicited or unsolicited), by either signing the same contract

or another. In the case that Red Energy requests a suspension of activity with either the
Prospect or the Partner, the period of suspension will be added to the Period as an automatic
extension for an equivalent period of time.

Red Energy, at its sole discretion, may choose to re-instate the Finders Fee beyond the Period.
