The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of Baker & McKenzie LLP in Houston, Texas, commencing at 10:00 a.m., local time, on the date hereof or at such other location, date and time as may be agreed upon between the Investors and the Company, on which date this Agreement is signed by all the Investors (the "Closing Date").

At the Closing, the Investors and the Company shall deliver to each other all of the various certificates, instruments, and documents referred to in Section 7. 7 (c) PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT. (i) 2005 Performance Adjustment. The Company hereby represents to the Investors that the Company's after Tax Net Profit on a consolidated, pro forma basis, prior to costs directly attributed to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, as reported under GAAP and as prepared by an independent registered public accounting firm acceptable to the Investors for the fiscal year ending 2005 ("2005 Net Profit") shall be at least $6,750,000 (the "2005 Target Profit"). The 2005 Net Profit shall be based upon the performance of the Business in the form which it exists as of Closing (assuming completion of the transactions contemplated by the Restructuring Agreements), and shall not include any amounts from any Subsidiary, business division, assets or contractual arrangement or other source of the Company acquired after the Closing. As the Investors are relying on such expected profit in making their investment hereunder, and in order to make whole the Investors in the event the 2005 Target Profit is not met and for the purposes of the indemnity provisions under Section 8 of this Agreement, the Company has placed 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (based on post reverse split shares, subject to applicable adjustment) which are owned by Management (the "Dual Purposes Escrow Shares") into an escrow account for the benefit of the Investors pursuant to an escrow agreement by and among the Company, Dalian Fushi, certain holders of the Series A shares, the Investors and Gateway National Bank, N.A., as escrow agent, attached as Exhibit E (the "Stock Escrow Agreement"). In the event that the Company does not generate the 2005 Target Profit (as determined based on the Company's 2005 audited financial statements), a number of Dual Purposes Escrow Shares, which shall not be more than 3,000,000 (based on post reverse split shares, subject to applicable adjustment), shall be retired to the Company treasury as set forth below in order to maintain the value of the Investors' investment in the Company (the "2005 Performance Adjustment") pursuant to the terms of the Stock Escrow Agreement. The 2005 Performance Adjustment shall be determined by (A) subtracting the Actual Pre-Money Value from the Original Pre-Money Value to obtain the 2005 Performance Shortfall and (B) dividing the 2005 Performance Shortfall by the Original Investment Price. The Company shall immediately redeem, retire or otherwise cancel such number of the Dual Purposes Escrow Shares equal to the 2005 Performance Adjustment, but no more than 3,000,000 shares (based on post reverse split shares, subject to applicable adjustment), as calculated pursuant to this Section 2(c)(i). Sample Calculation: If the 2005 Net Profit is reported to be $6,250,000, the 2005 Performance Adjustment would be calculated as follows: 1) (Original Pre-Money Value - Actual Pre-Money Value) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Investment Price 2) ($41,500,000 - $38,500,000) ----------------------------------- $2.82 3) $3,000,000 -------------- = 1,063,829.8 Dual Purposes Escrow Shares $2.82 8 (ii) 2006 Performance Adjustment. The Company hereby represents to the Investors that the Company's after Tax Net Profit on a consolidated, pro forma basis, as reported under GAAP and as prepared by an accounting firm acceptable to the Investors ("2006 Net Profit") for the fiscal year ending 2006 shall be no less than $10,700,000 (the "2006 Target Profit"). Except for the acquisition of Dalian Tongfa New Materials Science and Technology Co., Ltd., the 2006 Net Profit shall be based upon the performance of the Business in the form which it exists as of Closing (assuming completion of the transactions contemplated by the Restructuring Agreements), and shall not include any amounts from any Subsidiary, business division, assets or contractual arrangement or other source of the Company acquired after the Closing. In the event the 2006 Net Profit is not equal to or greater than 90% of the 2006 Target Profit, the Company agrees to issue a number of additional shares of Common Stock to the Investors (the "2006 Performance Shares") pro rata in accordance their original investment holdings as set forth on Exhibit C. The number of 2006 Performance Shares shall be calculated by (A) subtracting the 2006 Net Profit from the 2006 Target Profit to obtain the 2006 Performance Shortfall, (B) dividing the 2006 Performance Shortfall by the 2006 Target Profit to obtain the Shortfall Percentage and (C) multiplying the Shortfall Percentage by the number of shares of Common Stock (issuable upon conversion of the Series B) originally issued to the Investors under this Agreement. If the Shortfall Percentage is 10% or less, no 2006 Performance Shares shall be issued to the Investors. Sample Calculation: If the 2006 Net Profit is reported to be $9,095,000, the number of 2006 Performance Shares would be calculated as follows: 1) 2006 Target Profit - 2006 Net Profit = 2006 Performance Shortfall 10,700,000 - 9,095,000 = 1,605,000 2) 2006 Performance Shortfall --------------------------------- = Shortfall Percentage 2006 Target Profit 1,605,000 ------------ = 0.15 10,700,000 3) Shortfall Percentage X Shares = 2006 Performance Shares 0.15 X 4,250,000 = 637,500 2006 Performance Shares (d) PUBLIC RELATIONS AND EXECUTIVE SEARCHES. $600,000 of the Purchase Price shall be delivered directly into escrow for the purpose of effecting an integrated investor and public relations campaign, of which $500,000 of the escrow funds shall apply, and executive search costs, of which $100,000 of the escrow funds shall apply, post-Closing. The terms of such escrow shall be governed by an escrow agreement by and among Gateway National Bank, N.A., as escrow agent, the Company and the Investors in the form attached as Exhibit F (the "PR Escrow Agreement"). The release of such portion of the Purchase Price from escrow shall be effected in accordance with the terms of the PR Escrow Agreement. The Company shall use its best efforts to use these escrow funds pursuant to the terms of the PR Escrow Agreement within 12 months from Closing. 9 3.

(iv) In the event any of the conditions in Section 8(d)(ii) is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Parties need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (B) the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), and (C) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in Section 5 or this Section 8, as applicable. 9.

No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. (j) SEVERABILITY. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

The word "including" shall mean including without limitation. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. (m) INCORPORATION OF EXHIBITS AND SCHEDULES. The Exhibits and Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. (n) SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the Investors would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that the Investors shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity. (o) DISPUTES; ARBITRATION. Subject to Section 9(n), any issue, dispute, Proceeding or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement (or any Ancillary Agreement), its alleged breach or its subject matter (a "Dispute") shall be resolved pursuant to this Section 9(o). (i) Any Dispute shall first be referred to CA as a representative of the applicable Investors and a representative of the Company who has authority to settle the controversy for resolution between such Parties, if possible. Those Persons may, if they desire, consult outside experts or a mutually respected disinterested Person for assistance in arriving at a resolution. (ii) If any Dispute cannot be resolved after good faith negotiation, either Party or the Indemnifying Party or its applicable Affiliate, may, by written notice ("Arbitration Notice") to the other, demand to have the claim finally and exclusively settled by confidential and binding arbitration in Houston, Texas, governed by the laws of the State of Texas and in accordance with the commercial rules of arbitration of the American Arbitration Association in effect at that time. A total of three arbitrators shall be appointed. Within 10 days after dispatch of the Arbitration Notice, each of the applicable Investors and the Company shall appoint one arbitrator, and the two so chosen shall select a third within 15 days of the expiration of the 10-day period. Each arbitrator shall have at least 10 years of experience in an industry or profession related to the subject matter involved in the Dispute, and all arbitration proceedings shall be held, and a transcribed record thereof shall be prepared, in English. Neither Party involved in the arbitration shall have the right to conduct discovery of the other (except as the arbitrators may so order on the application of either Party), but shall furnish to the arbitrators such information as the arbitrators may reasonably request to facilitate the resolving of the Dispute. The arbitrators shall announce the award and the reason therefor in writing within three months from the date of the selection of the third arbitrator, or such later date as the Parties may agree upon in 35 writing. The losing Party on a specific claim or counterclaim shall bear all expenses of the arbitration, including those relating to the arbitrators, and attorney's fees, experts and presentation of proof with respect to that claim or counterclaim. Any award granted by the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the Parties and shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for any dispute between the Parties. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Parties expressly submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the United States of America for the enforcement of any arbitration award. (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(o), in the event there is a good faith conflict of interest among two or more Investors relating to any Dispute, this Section 9(o) shall not apply to such Investors individually, and separate arbitration Proceedings may occur, to the extent necessary.

C-1 EXHIBIT D (Intentionally Omitted) D-1 EXHIBIT E STOCK ESCROW AGREEMENT (See attached) E-1 EXECUTION COPY STOCK ESCROW AGREEMENT This Stock Escrow Agreement (this "Agreement") is made as of December 13, 2005, by and among Parallel Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), Dalian Fushi Bimetallic Manufacturing Company, Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the People's Republic of China ("Dalian Fushi"), the persons listed on the signature pages hereto as the Series A Convertible Preferred Shareholders of the Company (the "Series A Holders"), Chinamerica Fund, LP, a Texas limited partnership ("CA"), the other investors listed on the signature pages hereto (CA and the other investors shall be referred to individually as an "Investor" and collectively as the "Investors") and Gateway National Bank, N.A., as the escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"). All of the aforementioned are also referred to individually herein as a "Party" and collectively herein as the "Parties." PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS A. The Company, Dalian Fushi, the Investors and certain members of management of Dalian Fushi have entered into that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), a copy of which has been delivered to the Escrow Agent, pursuant to which the Company will issue and sell to the Investors, and the Investors will subscribe for and acquire from the Company, certain Company securities for a purchase price of $12 million upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. B. Dalian Fushi currently owns 20,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, par value $.006 per share ("Common Stock"), representing 50.96% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. C. The Series A Holders currently own 746,254 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $.001 (the "Series A"), which are convertible into 14,718,458 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such preferred stock. D. Section 14 of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $.001 (the "Series B"), a copy of which has been delivered to the Escrow Agent, provides certain rights to the Investors, as Series B holders, to acquire then-outstanding shares of Common Stock and Series A (the "Certificate Shares"), which shares will be deposited at the Closing in escrow by Dalian Fushi and the Series A Holders as security for the Company's obligations under the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series B. Dalian Fushi and the Series A Holders (including any Persons who subsequently acquire shares of Common Stock or Series A from them or their transferrees) shall be collectively referred to as the "Dalian Fushi Shareholders" for purposes of such Section 14. E. Section 2(c)(i) of the Stock Purchase Agreement provides that, at the Closing, the Series A Holders will deposit in escrow a number of shares of Series A convertible into at least 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which shares shall be held as security in the event the 2005 Target Profit is not met (including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, the "Claim Shares" and collectively with the Certificate Shares, the "Escrow Shares"). F. The Claim Shares shall also serve as collateral for the indemnification obligations of the Company, Dalian Fushi and Management under Section 8 of the Stock Purchase Agreement. 1 G. The escrow fund created by the deposit of the Escrow Shares is referred to as the "Escrow Fund." For the avoidance of doubt, the Claim Shares will be included in the Certificate Shares. H. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights for the Series B, the Parties have agreed, as a condition to their respective obligations thereunder, to enter into this Agreement and establish the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Escrow Shares will be deposited, held in, and disbursed from the Escrow Fund. I. The Parties desire to appoint the Escrow Agent to act pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein and the Escrow Agent desires to accept such appointment. J. Dalian Fushi and the Series A Holders desire to appoint the Company to act as their representative pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein and the Company desires to accept such appointment. AGREEMENT The Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows: 1. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ESCROW FUND. (A) Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent agrees to (i) accept delivery of the shares of Common Stock, consisting of 20,000,000 shares, (ii) accept delivery of 746,254 shares of Series A (including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Series A), and (iii) hold such Escrow Shares in escrow as part of the Escrow Fund, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Section 2(c)(i) and Section 8 of the Stock Purchase Agreement and Section 14 of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights for the Series B (the "Escrow Provisions"). (B) Escrow Arrangements; Purpose. The Escrow Fund is to be held and distributed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Escrow Provisions. The Escrow Fund is held for the benefit of the Investors as security and collateral for the obligations of the Company under the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights for the Series B, the indemnification obligations of the Company, Dalian Fushi, Management and the Series A Holders under Section 8 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, and in the event the 2005 Target Profit is not met pursuant to Section 2(c)(i) of the Stock Purchase Agreement. 2. ADMINISTRATION OF ESCROW FUND AND TAX ESCROW FUND. (a) Delivery of Escrow Shares. At Closing, the Escrow Shares will be delivered by the Company, on behalf of Dalian Fushi and the Series A Holders (each, a "Holder," and collectively, the "Holders") to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the applicable Escrow Provisions, together with stock powers executed in blank. The Escrow Agent will provide the Company written notification of the receipt of each Holder's respective Escrow Shares in accordance with Section 5. (b) Holders' Accounts. The Escrow Agent will maintain for the Holders an accounting record (each, a "Holders' Account") specifying the Holders' respective portion of the assets comprising the Escrow Fund held for the record of the Holders pursuant to the applicable Escrow Provisions. All Escrow Shares received by the Escrow Agent under Section 2(a) will be held in the name of each of the Holders in the Escrow Fund and will be allocated to the Holders' Account in accordance with Exhibit A. The Escrow Agent shall promptly amend Exhibit A to reflect any change in the assets comprising the Escrow Fund and the portion applicable to each individual Holder. 2 (C) Dividends, Voting, Conversions and Rights of Ownership. (i) The Holders will have voting rights with respect to their respective portion of the Escrow Shares deposited in the Escrow Fund while such Escrow Shares are held in escrow. While the Escrow Shares are held in escrow, the Holders will retain and will be able to exercise all other incidents of ownership of their respective Escrow Shares, which are not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Escrow Agent agrees to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each applicable Seller only those proxy materials with respect to the Escrow Shares in the Escrow Fund that are actually received by the Escrow Agent. (ii) Stock dividends or other distributions (other than cash as provided below) upon the Escrow Shares shall be added to the Escrow Fund, and shall not be distributed to the Holders, as their interests may appear; and, to the extent any stock dividends are actually distributed to the Holders with respect to such Escrow Shares prior to the Expiration Date, the Holders shall promptly remit such shares to the Escrow Agent and such shares shall be added to the Escrow Fund. (iii) Any shares of Common Stock issued to the Series A Holders upon conversion of the Series A shall be delivered by the Company to the Escrow Agent and added to the Escrow Fund, and shall not be distributed to the Series A Holders; and, to the extent any such shares are actually distributed to the Series A Holders upon conversion of the Series A prior to the Expiration Date, the Series A Holders shall promptly remit such shares to the Escrow Agent and such shares shall be added to the Escrow Fund. (iv) Cash dividends or distributions upon the Escrow Shares shall not be added to the Escrow Fund, but shall be distributed to the Holders, as their interests may appear, net of applicable withholding taxes. (v) The parties hereto agree that, for tax purposes, all taxable income, if any, attributable to the Escrow Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall be allocable to each respective Holder in accordance with each Holders' Account on Exhibit A. For greater certainty, the Escrow Agent shall be authorized, as required under applicable law, to withhold and remit to the Internal Revenue Service a portion of any income earned on the Escrow Fund held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement. (d) Claims upon the Escrow Fund. (i) Section 14 of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights for the Series B. (A) Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of a certificate from CA, as representative of the Series B holders, pursuant to Section 14 of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights for the Series B stating that (1) the conditions specified in Section 14(a) of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights have not occurred within 120 days since the initial issuance of the Series B or, thereafter, within any additional 30-day period, and (2) the number of Certificate Shares (as designated by CA in shares of Common Stock or Series A, as available) to be delivered to the Investors pursuant to such Section 14(a), the Escrow Agent shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e), deliver to the Investors out of the Escrow Fund, as promptly as practicable, 3 in such manner and in such number of Certificate Shares as specified in such certificate from CA, which shares shall be allocated among the Investors based on each Investor's pro rata percentage of Series B shares then held. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to determine or calculate the number of shares or percentage of interest to be issued and shall not be obligated to issue Certificate Shares, but rather will only deliver the Certificate Shares as instructed in the certificate from CA to the Escrow Agent. Any Certificate Shares delivered pursuant to this Section 2(d)(i)(A) shall not be deemed to include any Claim Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, an Investor's pro rata percentage of Series B shares then held shall be initially based on Exhibit C to the Stock Purchase Agreement, and each Investor shall promptly notify CA of any transfer of all or any portion of its Series B shares and the identity of the purchaser of such shares. (B) Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of a certificate from an Investor (with a duplicate copy delivered to CA), as a Series B holder, pursuant to Section 14 of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights for the Series B stating that (1) the conditions specified in Section 14(a) of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights have not occurred within one year since the initial issuance of the Series B, (2) the Company has failed to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Series B by the 30th day after such one-year period, and (3) payment has been tendered pursuant to Section 14(b) of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights for the Series B, in the amount of $.001 per share, the Escrow Agent shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e), deliver to the Investor out of the Escrow Fund, as promptly as practicable, such number of the Certificate Shares (including the Claim Shares included therein) as such Investor claims in such certificate (which shall be based on such Investor's pro rata percentage of Series B shares then held). The Escrow Agent shall not be required to determine or calculate the number of shares or percentage of interest to be issued and shall not be obligated to issue Certificate Shares, but rather will only deliver the Certificate Shares as instructed in the certificate from such Investor to the Escrow Agent. For purposes of any actions contemplated pursuant or relating to this Section 2(d)(i) or Section 14(b) of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights for the Series B, as of the date hereof, and without further act of any Party, CA is hereby appointed as the representative for and on behalf of each Investor (including any Person who subsequently acquires shares of Series B from an Investor or their transferees) pursuant to the terms of Section 14 of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights for the Series B. CA may take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of CA in such capacity as representative for the Investors. In the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct, CA shall not be liable under any circumstances or for any reason for any act done or omitted hereunder as representative for the Investors. CA shall be indemnified and held harmless from and against any liability, indebtedness, claim, loss, damage, costs, expenses, judgments, penalties, deficiency, obligation or responsibility sustained or incurred by CA (other than due to bad faith or willful misconduct) arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of CA's duties hereunder as representative for the Investors, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel or experts retained by CA. (ii) Section 8 of the Stock Purchase Agreement. (A) Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent at any time on or before the last day of the two-year period following the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement of a certificate signed by an Investor (with a duplicate copy delivered to CA): (1) stating that the Investor or any of its respective Indemnified Parties has paid or properly accrued or reasonably anticipates that it will have to pay or accrue Liabilities related to any Adverse Consequences, and (2) generally describing the Adverse Consequence included in the amount so stated or the basis for such anticipated 4 Liability, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of representation, warranty or covenant to which such item is related, the Escrow Agent shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e), deliver to Investor out of the Escrow Fund, as promptly as practicable, Claim Shares in an amount equal to the Liabilities for such Adverse Consequences. Any such distribution shall be first made in any available shares of Common Stock, and then in shares of Series A.

The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such certificate and distribute Escrow Shares in accordance with the terms thereof. (iii) If no such agreement is reached within 15 days following receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Company Notice, either the Company or the Investor may demand arbitration of the matter unless, in the case of Section 2(d)(ii), the amount of the Liability related to the Adverse Consequence is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration pursuant to Section 9(o) of the Stock Purchase Agreement; and, further, any non-disputed portion of the Escrow Shares subject to a Claim Certificate shall be delivered in accordance with Section 2(d).
