Section 1 - Registrant's Business and Operations

Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 23, 2006, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation (“SPI”) and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Welund Acquisition, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which it is contemplated that the Merger Sub will be merged with and into SPI with SPI surviving as our wholly owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). One of the conditions precedent to completing the Merger is the obtaining of at least $10,000,000 in financing. As discussed below in this Form 8-K, we met that condition on September 19, 2006. We still have certain other conditions pending, before closing the Merger, principally the delivery of audited financial statements by SPI and its subsidiaries. For additional information concerning our proposed transaction with SPI refer to Form 8-K previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 29, 2006.

(a)   In connection with the Offering, as defined and described in Item 3.02 below, on September 19, 2006, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Investors purchased an aggregate of 32,429,937 shares (10,809,979 on a post Reverse Stock Split (as defined in Item 3.02 below) of our restricted common stock, par value $.0001 per share, at a purchase price of $0.3333 per share ($1.00 per share on a post Reverse Stock Split basis). In addition to customary closing conditions, we were required to receive a minimum of $10,000,000 in investment amount from Investors prior to the first closing. Mr. Steve Strasser, our director and president; Mr. Terrell Smith, our director, Vice President and Treasurer; and Mr. Howard Landa, our director and Secretary, participated as “Investors” in the Offering by purchasing an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of common stock (400,000 on post Reverse Stock Split basis), representing an aggregate of 3.2% of the issued shares of common stock after the first closing.

Concurrently with the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors on September 19, 2006 (the “Registration Agreement”). Under the terms thereof, we agreed to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the shares sold in the Offering with the SEC by the earlier of (i) the fifteenth (15th) day following the completion of our audit; or (ii) sixth (6th) month anniversary of the closing of the Offering (the "Filing Deadline”). In the event we are unable to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or the Registration Statement is not declared effective on or before the earliest of (x) the one hundred twentieth (120th) day following the audit completion date, (y) the one hundred twentieth (120th) day following the sixth (6th) month anniversary date of the closing, or (z) the fifth (5th) trading day following the date on which we receive notice that the SEC will not review the Registration Statement or has completed its review of the Registration Statement (the "Effective Deadline"), or if after the Registration Statement is effective, the Registration Statement ceases for any reasons to be effective for more than thirty (30) trading days, then we will have to pay liquidated damages equal to one percent (1%) of the aggregate amount invested by each Investor for each month beyond the Filing Deadline until the Company files the registration statement, or in the event it is beyond the Effective Deadline then the Company will have to pay such liquidated damages; provided however, the liquidated damages are capped at an aggregate of ten percent (10%) of the aggregate amount invested by each Investor.





Pursuant to a certain engagement agreement dated August 29, 2006 (“Engagement Agreement”) between us and Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth Capital”), we engaged Roth Capital to act as our agent to offer the shares in the Offering. Under the terms of the Engagement Agreement, Roth Capital is entitled to a cash payment equal to six percent (6%) of the gross proceeds received from the sale(s) of the shares in the Offering, and a warrant to purchase an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the shares issued in the Offering (the “Roth Capital Warrant”). The Roth Capital Warrant will have a term of five (5) years and an exercise price of one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the price of the share of common stock offered in the Offering. The shares issuable upon the exercise of the Roth Capital Warrant will be entitled to the same registration rights as those granted to the Investors in the Offering. In addition, we agreed to reimburse Roth Capital up to a maximum of twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) for its out-of-pocket expenses related to the Offering.

(b)     On September 19, 2006, we entered into a Credit Facility Agreement and a Security Agreement (the “Loan Documents”) with SPI, pursuant to which we agreed to grant SPI a revolving credit line of up to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “Credit Facility”). Under the terms of Loan Documents, with the exception of certain permitted liens, we were granted a first priority security interest in all of SPI’s assets owned now or in the future. Any advances under the Credit Facility bear an interest rate equal to eight percent (8%) simple interest per annum. Unless otherwise extended under the Loan Documents, the maturity date for any and all advances is March 31, 2007 and the Credit Facility is available until February 28, 2007. On September 19, 2006, SPI issued a promissory note to us in the aggregate amount of Nine Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($975,000). We have a material relationship with SPI pursuant to the terms of a Merger Agreement, as reported on Form 8-K previously filed with the SEC on August 29, 2006.

For additional information on the Offering and the Credit Facility, see the Securities Purchase Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, Engagement Agreement, Credit Facility Agreement, Security Agreement and Promissory Note attached hereto as Exhibits.

Section 3 - Securities and Trading Markets

Item 3.02
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
 
We are conducting a private placement of our shares of common stock, $.0001 par value, for a minimum of $10,000,000 and up to a maximum of $16,000,000 (the “Offering”). As we are in the process of effectuating a 1 for 3 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”), as further described in the Definitive 14C filed with the SEC on September 13, 2006, the shares of our common stock are being offered and sold at a purchase price of $0.3333 per share ($1.00 per share on a post Reverse Stock Split basis). Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, we were required to receive investment amounts of at least $10,000,000 before we could conduct our first closing. On September 19, 2006, we received investment amounts of $10,809,979 and accordingly conducted the first closing for the Offering. In connection with the first closing we issued 32,429,937 shares (10,809,979 on a post Reverse Stock Split basis) shares of our common stock
 
 



Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed to prepare and file a registration statement covering the resale of the common stock purchased by the investors in the Offering as further described in Item 1.01(a) above. In addition, we engaged Roth Capital as our placement agent pursuant to the terms of the Engagement Agreement. As further described in Item 1.01(a) above, Roth Capital is entitled to a cash payment equal to six percent (6%) of the gross proceeds received from the sale(s)of the shares, and a warrant to purchase an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the shares issued in the Offering.

The Offering was conducted primarily by us and Roth Capital. The shares in the Offering were offered and sold only to accredited investors in reliance upon Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

For additional information, see the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Engagement Agreement attached hereto as Exhibits.

The Company and each Subsidiary are duly qualified to conduct its respective businesses and are in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
 
(c)    Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company in connection therewith. Each Transaction Document has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

(s)     Internal Accounting Controls. The Company implemented disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) pursuant to which management under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carries out a review and evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, particularly during the period in which the Company’s Form 10-KSB or 10-QSB, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures in accordance with Item 307 of Regulation S-B under the Exchange Act for the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter or fiscal year-end (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed Form 10-KSB or Form 10-QSB the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 308(c) of Regulation S-B under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls.
 
(t)     Solvency.

The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).

All disclosure provided to the Investors regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, furnished by or on behalf of the Company (including the Company’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement) are true and correct and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

3.2.   Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor hereby, for itself and for no other Investor, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
 
(a)    Organization; Authority. Such Investor is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the applicable Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or, if such Investor is not a corporation, such partnership, limited liability company or other applicable like action, on the part of such Investor. Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly executed by such Investor, and when delivered by such Investor in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
 
(b)    Investment Intent. Such Investor is acquiring the Shares as principal for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof, without prejudice, however, to such Investor’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Investor to hold the Shares for any period of time. Such Investor is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Investor does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Shares.
 
(c)    Investor Status. At the time such Investor was offered the Shares, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

Each Investor represents that, to the extent that he or she is an individual, that he or she is a resident of the state set forth opposite his or her name on the signature page, and, to the extent that the Investor is an organizational entity, it has been organized under the laws of the state or country set forth opposite its name on the signature page.

Such Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed the Disclosure Materials and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Investor or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Investor’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure Materials and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents.
 
(f)     Certain Trading Activities. Such Investor has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Investor, engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitations, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities) since the time that such Investor was first contacted by the Company or Roth Capital Partners, LLC regarding the investment in the Company contemplated by this Agreement. Such Investor covenants that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will engage in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed.

Such Investor has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase the Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, and such Investor confirms that it has not relied on the advice of any other Investor’s business and/or legal counsel in making such decision.

In connection with any transfer of the Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, to the Company, to an Affiliate of an Investor or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Shares under the Securities Act.
 

12


 
(b)    Certificates evidencing the Shares will contain the following legend, until such time as they are not required under Section 4.1(c):
 
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
 
The Company acknowledges and agrees that an Investor may from time to time pledge, and/or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in connection with a bona fide margin account and, if required under the terms of such agreement or account, such Investor may transfer pledged or secured Shares to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval or consent of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion may be required in connection with a subsequent transfer following default by the Investor transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Shares including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(c), any Shares subject to a pledge or security interest as contemplated by this Section 4.1(b) shall continue to bear the legend set forth in this Section 4.1(b) and be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4.1(a).

(c)    Certificates evidencing Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)): (i) following a sale or transfer of such Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement (including a Registration Statement), or (ii) following a sale or transfer of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferee is not an Affiliate of the Company), or (iii) while such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k). If an Investor shall make a sale or transfer of Shares either (x) pursuant to Rule 144 or (y) pursuant to a registration statement and in each case shall have delivered to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent the certificate representing Shares containing a restrictive legend which are the subject of such sale or transfer and a representation letter in customary form (the date of such sale or transfer and Share delivery being the “Share Delivery Date”) and (1) the Company shall fail to deliver or cause to be delivered to such Investor a certificate representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive or other legends by the third Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date and (2) following such third Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date and prior to the time such Shares are received free from restrictive legends, the Investor, or any third party on behalf of such Investor, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of such Shares (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Investor (for costs incurred either directly by such Investor or on behalf of a third party) the amount by which the total purchase price paid for Common Stock as a result of the Buy-In (including brokerage commissions, if any) exceed the proceeds received by such Investor as a result of the sale to which such Buy-In relates. The Investor shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Investor in respect of the Buy-In.
 
4.2.   Furnishing of Information. As long as any Investor owns the Shares, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long as any Investor owns Shares, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Investors and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Investors to sell the Shares under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Shares may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.
 
4.3.   Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Shares to the Investors, or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market in a manner that would require stockholder approval of the sale of the Shares to the Investors.
 
4.4.   Subsequent Registrations. Other than pursuant to the Registration Statement, prior to the Effective Date, the Company may not file any registration statement (other than on Form S-8) with the Commission with respect to any securities of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Investor, or include the name of any Investor in any filing with the Commission (other than the Registration Statement and any exhibits to filings made in respect of this transaction in accordance with periodic filing requirements under the Exchange Act) or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Investor, except to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations.
 
4.6.   Limitation on Issuance of Future Priced Securities. During the six months following the Closing Date, the Company shall not issue any “Future Priced Securities” as such term is described by NASD IM-4350-1.
 
4.7.   Indemnification of Investors. In addition to the indemnity provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold the Investors and their directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (each, an “Investor Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company in any Transaction Document. In addition to the indemnity contained herein, the Company will reimburse each Investor Party for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation, preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under this Section 4.7 shall be the same as those set forth in Section 5 of the Registration Rights Agreement.
 
4.8.   Non-Public Information.

15


 
4.11.  Completion of Audit. The Company and Subsidiaries shall use their best efforts to have completed their audit and have audited and unaudited financial statements as are necessary for the Company to meet its reporting obligations under rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, including periodic reports, current report and proposed registration statement contemplated to be filed under Form SB-2 by October 30, 2006.

Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of the any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such New York Court, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum.

6.10.     Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Shares.
 
6.11.     Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.
 
6.12.     Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
 
6.13.     Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Investor exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Investor may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
 
6.14.    Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Shares. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.
 
6.15.    Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 

20


 
6.16.    Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document or an Investor enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
 
6.17.    Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors has been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor.
 
6.18.    Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the liability of an Investor arising directly or indirectly, under any Transaction Document of any and every nature whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of such Investor, and that no trustee, officer, other investment vehicle or any other Affiliate of such Investor or any investor, shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial interest of such a Investor shall be personally liable for any liabilities of such Investor.

The Company shall not file a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto in which the “Selling Stockholder” section thereof differs from the disclosure received from a Holder in its Selling Holder Questionnaire (as amended or supplemented).
 
(b)    (i) Use its best efforts to prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for its Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) use its best efforts to cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably possible provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to such Registration Statement that would not result in the disclosure to the Holders of material and non-public information concerning the Company; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the Registration Statements and the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement.
 

5



(c)    Use its best efforts to notify the Holders as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than three Trading Days prior to such filing and, in the case of (v) below, not less than three Trading Days prior to the financial statements in any Registration Statement becoming ineligible for inclusion therein) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a "review" of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders that pertain to the Holders as a Selling Stockholder or to the Plan of Distribution, but not information which the Company believes would constitute material and non-public information); and (C) with respect to each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, prior to any sale by a Holder under a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities, the Holder shall confirm with the Company that such Registration Statement remains effective.
 
(d)    Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
 
(e)    Furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission.

(g)    Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of all jurisdictions within the United States, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statements.
 

6



(h)    Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statements, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may request.
 
(i)     Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(v), as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the affected Registration Statements or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
 
4.    Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement.

5.    Indemnification.
 

7



(a)    Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, investment advisors, partners, members and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses (collectively, "Losses"), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(v), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an Advice or an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
 
(b)    Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holder's failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or (y) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent that, (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(v), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an Advice or an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
 

8



(c)    Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an "Indemnified Party"), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
 
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
 
All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).
 

9


 
(d)    Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.
 
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
 
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.
 
6.    Miscellaneous.
 
(a)    Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
(b)    No Piggyback on Registrations. Except as and to the extent specified in Schedule 3.1(v) to the Purchase Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in a Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not during the Effectiveness Period enter into any agreement providing any such right to any of its security holders.
 

10


 
(c)    Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
 
(d)    Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the "Advice") by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.
 
(e)    Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time during the Effectiveness Period there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Holder written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such holder requests to be registered, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights.
 
(f)     Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 6(f), may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of no less than a majority in interest of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of certain Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates.
 
(g)    Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile (provided the sender receives a machine-generated confirmation of successful transmission) at the facsimile number specified in this Section or via electronic mail, prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission of the facsimile or electronic mail, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be as follows:

Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors has been provided with the same Registration Rights Agreement for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor.

Annex A
 
Plan of Distribution
 
The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
 
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits Investors;
 
·
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
·
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
·
privately negotiated transactions;
 
·
to cover short sales made after the date that this Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission;
 
·
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
·
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
 
The Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of Common Stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
 

16


 
Upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Common Stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of Common Stock were sold, (iv)the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of Common Stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.
 
The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
 
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of the securities will be paid by the Selling Stockholder and/or the purchasers. Each Selling Stockholder has represented and warranted to the Company that it acquired the securities subject to this registration statement in the ordinary course of such Selling Stockholder’s business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities such Selling Stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.
 
The Company has advised each Selling Stockholder that it may not use shares registered on this Registration Statement to cover short sales of Common Stock made prior to the date on which this Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission. If a Selling Stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the Common Stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such Selling Stockholders in connection with resales of their respective shares under this Registration Statement.
 
The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

President
Welund Fund, Inc.

Rancho Cordova, CA 95670

Re:    Engagement Letter

Dear Mr. Strasser:

Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“we” or “RCP”) is pleased to act as the exclusive financial advisor and placement agent for Welund Fund, Inc. (“you” or the “Company”) in connection with your proposed private placement. The terms of our engagement are set forth below. As discussed, a condition to our engagement is that Stephen Kircher be appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors of Welund Fund prior to the commencement of the Roadshow. We look forward to working with you.

1. The Offering.

(a) We currently anticipate raising approximately $10.0 million through a “PIPE” transaction involving the sale of securities to institutional investors. The actual terms of the offering will depend on market conditions, and will be subject to negotiation between the Company and RCP and prospective investors.

(b) Although we cannot guarantee you that we will be able to raise new capital, we will conduct the offering on a best efforts basis.

(c) In turn, during the term of our engagement, you agree not to use any other investment banking firm to raise capital (including debt) for you.

2.  Fees and Expenses.

(a) Concurrently with the consummation of the offering, the Company will pay us in cash a fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds received from the sale of securities.
 
(b) In addition, the Company agrees to reimburse RCP upon request for its out-of-pocket expenses, including the fees and disbursements of RCP’s legal counsel, up to $25,000.

(c) Upon the closing of the Offering, the Company will issue to RCP warrants for the purchase of an amount equal to 5% of the securities issued in the Offering. The Warrants will be exercisable into the same class of common stock as issued as part of the Offering, have a strike price equal to 115% of the Company’s common stock on the closing date of the Offering and have a term of five years. The Warrants will provide for cashless or “net” exercise. In the event Investor Warrants are issued as part of the Offering, the terms and conditions of the Warrants shall be the same as Investor Warrants. The shares issuable upon exercise of the RCP warrants will be entitled to the same registration rights as those granted to the Investors in connection with the Offering. To that end, you agree that RCP will be afforded the indemnification protections granted to the Investors as part of the agreement governing the registration of the Investor securities sold in the Offering, as a third party beneficiary to such provisions.

3. Term of Engagement.

(a) The term of our engagement will be three months; however, either party may terminate our engagement at any time upon 10 days written notice to the other party. Upon termination, we will be entitled to collect all fees earned and expenses incurred through the date of termination.

(b) If the offering is not consummated during the term, for reasons other than termination of this engagement by us, and during the twelve months following termination of this Agreement, either (i) the Company completes an offering of its securities, or (ii) any person which we introduced to the Company or with which we have discussions or negotiations during the term on behalf of the Company, purchases securities from the Company (other than through a underwritten public offering), you agree to pay us upon the closing a cash fee in the amount that would otherwise have been payable to RCP had such transaction occurred during the term.

4. Offering Memorandum; Representations and Warranties.

APPENDIX I


INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless RCP and its affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (RCP and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions, including shareholder actions, in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under any applicable federal or state law, or otherwise, which are related to or result from the performance by RCP of the services contemplated by or the engagement of RCP pursuant to, this Agreement and will promptly reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense arising from any threatened or pending claim, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party and whether or not such claim, action or proceeding is initiated or brought by the Company. The Company will not be liable to any Indemnified Party under the foregoing indemnification and reimbursement provisions, (i) for any settlement by an Indemnified Party effected without its prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld); or (ii) to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from RCP’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company or its security holders or creditors related to or arising out of the engagement of RCP pursuant to, or the performance by RCP of the services contemplated by, this Agreement except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from RCP’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of any intention or threat to commence an action, suit or proceeding or notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company pursuant hereto, promptly notify the Company in writing of the same. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party notifies the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company may elect to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and an Indemnified Party may employ counsel to participate in the defense of any such action provided, that the employment of such counsel shall be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense, unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized in writing by the Company, (ii) the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Indemnified Parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company, or that a conflict or potential conflict exists (based upon advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party) between the Indemnified Party and the Company that makes it impossible or inadvisable for counsel to the Indemnifying Party to conduct the defense of both the Company and the Indemnified Party (in which case the Company will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), or (iii) the Company has not in fact employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the action, suit or proceeding, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of the Company; provided, further, that in no event shall the Company be required to pay fees and expenses for more than one firm of attorneys representing Indemnified Parties unless the defense of one Indemnified Party is unique or separate from that of another Indemnified Party subject to the same claim or action. Any failure or delay by an Indemnified Party to give the notice referred to in this paragraph shall not affect such Indemnified Party’s right to be indemnified hereunder, except to the extent that such failure or delay causes actual harm to the Company, or prejudices its ability to defend such action, suit or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party.




Welund Fund, Inc.
August 29, 2006

If the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is for any reason held unenforceable by an Indemnified Party, the Company agrees to contribute to the losses, claims, damages and liabilities for which such indemnification is held unenforceable (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and RCP on the other hand, of the Offering as contemplated whether or not the Offering is consummated or, (ii) if (but only if) the allocation provided for in clause (i) is for any reason unenforceable, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand and RCP, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The Company agrees that for the purposes of this paragraph the relative benefits to the Company and RCP of the Offering as contemplated shall be deemed to be in the same proportion that the total value received or contemplated to be received by the Company or its shareholders, as the case may be, as a result of or in connection with the Offering bear to the fees paid or to be paid to RCP under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expressly agrees that RCP shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which fees paid RCP hereunder (excluding reimbursable expenses), exceeds the amount of any damages which RCP has otherwise been required to pay.

The Company agrees that without RCP’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification could be sought under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement (in which RCP or any other Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding.

In the event that an Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against the Company in which such Indemnified Party is not named as a defendant, the Company agrees to promptly reimburse RCP on a monthly basis for all expenses incurred by it in connection with such Indemnified Party’s appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of its legal counsel.




Welund Fund, Inc.
August 29, 2006

If multiple claims are brought with respect to at least one of which indemnification is permitted under applicable law and provided for under this Agreement, The Company agrees that any judgment or arbitrate award shall be conclusively deemed to be based on claims as to which indemnification is permitted and provided for, except to the extent the judgment or arbitrate award expressly states that it, or any portion thereof, is based solely on a claim as to which indemnification is not available.

FORM OF SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE


 
Sacramento, California
$__________
September ___2006

This Secured Promissory Note (this "Note") is made and delivered pursuant to that certain Credit Facility Agreement dated as of September __, 2006 between Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation (“Borrower”) and Welund Fund, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Lender” or “Holder”), as such may be amended from time to time (the "Credit Agreement"). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the same meanings that are given to such terms in the Credit Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated into this Note by reference.


1.    Obligation. The Borrower hereby promises to pay to the order of Lender or Holder on or before the Maturity Date, at Lender's principal place of business, or at such other place as Holder may direct, the principal sum of TWO MILLION Dollars ($2,000,000.00) or so much thereof as may be advanced and outstanding, together with all interest accrued on unpaid principal, to be computed on each Advance from the date of its disbursement to Borrower, at a rate equal to eight percent (8%) simple interest per annum, as provided in the Credit Agreement. The outstanding principal amount of this Note, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. The outstanding unpaid principal balance of this Note at any time shall be the total principal amounts advanced hereunder by Holder less the amounts of payments of principal made hereon by Borrower, which balance may be endorsed hereon from time to time by Holder in accordance with Section 2.

2.    Recording Advances and Payments. Holder is authorized to record on Schedule A hereto, and on any continuation(s) of such Schedule that may be attached to this Note: (a) the date and principal amount of each Advance by Lender under the Credit Agreement; and (b) the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal and/or accrued interest of any Advance; which recordation will constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so endorsed on Schedule A; provided however, that any failure to record such information on such Schedule or continuation thereof will not in any manner affect the obligations of Borrower to make payments of principal and interest in accordance with the terms of this Note. Holder will promptly provide Borrower with a copy of each recordation made by Holder on Schedule A attached hereto.

3.    Security. This Note is subject to a Security Agreement executed September ___, 2006 between Lender as the Secured party and Borrower as Debtor.





4.    Prepayment. Prepayment of unpaid principal and/or interest due under this Note may be made at any time without penalty as specified in the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Holder, all payments will be made in lawful tender of the United States and will be applied (a) first, to the payment of accrued interest, and (b) second, (to the extent that the amount of such prepayment exceeds the amount of all such accrued interest), to the payment of principal.

5.    Default, Acceleration of Obligation. Borrower will be deemed to be in default under this Note and the outstanding unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with all interest accrued thereon, will immediately become due and payable in full, without the need for any further action on the part of Holder, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement or the Security Agreement) not otherwise remedied pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement or the Security Agreement.

6.    Remedies on Default; Acceleration. Upon any Event of Default, Holder will have, in addition to its rights and remedies under this Note, the Credit Agreement and Security Agreement, full recourse against any real, personal, tangible or intangible assets of Borrower, and may pursue any legal or equitable remedies that are available to Holder, and may declare the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note and all unpaid accrued interest under this Note to be immediately due and payable in full.

7.    Waiver and Amendment. Any provision of this Note may be amended or modified only by a writing signed by both Borrower and Holder. Except as provided below with respect to waivers by Borrower, no waiver or consent with respect to this Note will be binding or effective unless it is set forth in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is asserted.

If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances. If feasible, any such offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be within the limits of enforceability or validity; however, if the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of this Agreement in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.

(i)     Successor Interests. Subject to the limitations set forth above on transfer of the Collateral and in the Note, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns.
 
(j)     Waiver. Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Secured Party. No delay or omission on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Secured Party of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Secured Party’s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Secured Party, nor any course of dealing between Secured Party and Debtor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Secured Party’s rights or of any of Debtor’s obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Secured Party is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Secured Party in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Secured Party.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.

SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE


 
Sacramento, California
$__________
September ___2006

This Secured Promissory Note (this "Note") is made and delivered pursuant to that certain Credit Facility Agreement dated as of September __, 2006 between Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation (“Borrower”) and Welund Fund, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Lender” or “Holder”), as such may be amended from time to time (the "Credit Agreement"). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the same meanings that are given to such terms in the Credit Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated into this Note by reference.
 
 
1.    Obligation. The Borrower hereby promises to pay to the order of Lender or Holder on or before the Maturity Date, at Lender's principal place of business, or at such other place as Holder may direct, the principal sum of TWO MILLION Dollars ($2,000,000.00) or so much thereof as may be advanced and outstanding, together with all interest accrued on unpaid principal, to be computed on each Advance from the date of its disbursement to Borrower, at a rate equal to eight percent (8%) simple interest per annum, as provided in the Credit Agreement. The outstanding principal amount of this Note, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. The outstanding unpaid principal balance of this Note at any time shall be the total principal amounts advanced hereunder by Holder less the amounts of payments of principal made hereon by Borrower, which balance may be endorsed hereon from time to time by Holder in accordance with Section 2.

2.    Recording Advances and Payments. Holder is authorized to record on Schedule A hereto, and on any continuation(s) of such Schedule that may be attached to this Note: (a) the date and principal amount of each Advance by Lender under the Credit Agreement; and (b) the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal and/or accrued interest of any Advance; which recordation will constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so endorsed on Schedule A; provided however, that any failure to record such information on such Schedule or continuation thereof will not in any manner affect the obligations of Borrower to make payments of principal and interest in accordance with the terms of this Note. Holder will promptly provide Borrower with a copy of each recordation made by Holder on Schedule A attached hereto.

3.    Prepayment. Prepayment of unpaid principal and/or interest due under this Note may be made at any time without penalty as specified in the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Holder, all payments will be made in lawful tender of the United States and will be applied (a) first, to the payment of accrued interest, and (b) second, (to the extent that the amount of such prepayment exceeds the amount of all such accrued interest), to the payment of principal.


1



4.    Default, Acceleration of Obligation. Borrower will be deemed to be in default under this Note and the outstanding unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with all interest accrued thereon, will immediately become due and payable in full, without the need for any further action on the part of Holder, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) not otherwise remedied pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

5.    Remedies on Default; Acceleration. Upon any Event of Default, Holder will have, in addition to its rights and remedies under this Note and the Credit Agreement, full recourse against any real, personal, tangible or intangible assets of Borrower, and may pursue any legal or equitable remedies that are available to Holder, and may declare the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note and all unpaid accrued interest under this Note to be immediately due and payable in full.

6.    Waiver and Amendment. Any provision of this Note may be amended or modified only by a writing signed by both Borrower and Holder. Except as provided below with respect to waivers by Borrower, no waiver or consent with respect to this Note will be binding or effective unless it is set forth in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is asserted. No course of dealing between Borrower and Holder will operate as a waiver or modification of any party's rights or obligations under this Note. No delay or failure on the part of either party in exercising any right or remedy under this Note will operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver given on one occasion will not be construed as a bar to, or as a waiver of, any right or remedy on any future occasion.

7.    Waiver of Borrower. Borrower hereby waives presentment, notice of non-payment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand and diligence. This Note may be amended only by a writing executed by Borrower and Holder.

8.    Governing Law. This Note will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California as applied to agreements between residents thereof to be performed entirely within such State, without reference to that body of law relating to conflict of laws or choice of law.

9.    Severability; Headings. The invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Note will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other term or provision hereof. The headings in this Note are for convenience of reference only and will not alter or otherwise affect the meaning of this Note.

10.     Jurisdiction; Venue. Borrower, by its execution of this Note, hereby irrevocably submits to the in personal jurisdiction of the state courts of the State of California and of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California that are located in Sacramento, California, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Note.

11.        Assignment. This Note is not assignable by Holder without the written consent of Borrower. This Note may not be assigned or delegated by Borrower, whether by voluntary assignment or transfer, operation of law, merger or otherwise.


2



12.        Credit Agreement. This Note incorporates by reference all the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including but not limited to all provisions contained therein with respect to Events of Default, waivers, remedies and covenants, and the description of the benefits, rights and obligations of each of Borrower and Holder under the Credit Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower has executed and delivered this Note effective as of the date first above written.
