as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the

disposition thereof. Purchaser understands that the Transferred Securities (a)
have not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified
under any applicable state securities laws in reliance upon specific exemptions
therefrom, and (b) may not be transferred or sold except in a transaction
registered or exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and registered

state securities laws.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION
                                 ---------------

         SECTION 6.1 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The
representations and warranties of the Initial Members and the representations
and warranties of Purchaser shall survive until the earlier of the first
anniversary of the Closing. All of the covenants made by each party in this
Agreement shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
and shall continue in full force and effect after the Closing indefinitely until
all obligations with respect to any such covenants are fulfilled in their
entirety.

         SECTION 6.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY INITIAL MEMBERS. Subject to Sections 6.1
and 6.4, after the Closing

         (a) Each Member individually will indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser
and its representatives, members and affiliates (collectively, the "Purchaser
Indemnitees") for, and will pay to the Purchaser Indemnitees the amount of, any
loss, liability, claim, damage (specifically excluding incidental and
consequential damages), expense (including costs of investigation and defense
and reasonable attorneys' fees), whether or not involving a third-party claim
(collectively, "Damages"), arising, directly or indirectly, from or in
connection with (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by such
Member in Article III and Article IV of this Agreement or any other certificate
or document delivered by such Member pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) any
breach by such Member of any covenant or obligation of such Member in this
Agreement or any Member Document.

         SECTION 6.3 INDEMNIFICATION BY PURCHASER. Subject to Sections 6.1 and
6.4, after the Closing, Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless each Initial
Member and their representatives, members and affiliates (collectively, the
"Member Indemnitees") for, and will pay to the Member Indemnitees the amount of,
any Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with (a) any
breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in Article V of this
Agreement or any other certificate or document delivered by Purchaser pursuant
to this Agreement and (b) any breach by Purchaser of any covenant or obligation
of Purchaser in this Agreement or any Purchaser Document.

         SECTION 6.4 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY.

         (a) No party shall be liable to any other party for consequential
damages for breaches of such party's representation or warranties herein,
provided that this shall not limit any party's right to indemnification
hereunder to the extent such party becomes obligated to pay consequential
damages to a third party in connection with a claim that is subject to
indemnification hereunder.

         SECTION 6.5 THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.

         (a) In the event that any party desires to make a claim under Sections
6.2 or 6.3 in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, or demand at any
time instituted against or made upon any party for which such party may seek
indemnification hereunder (a "Third Party Claim"), the party or parties entitled
to indemnification hereunder (the "Indemnified Party") shall promptly notify the
party or parties required to provide indemnification hereunder (the
"Indemnifying Party") of such Third Party Claim and the claim of indemnification
with respect thereto, provided that failure of the Indemnified Party to give
such prompt notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Parties of their
obligations under this Article VI, except to the extent, if at all, that the
Indemnifying Parties shall have been prejudiced thereby.

         (b) Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party pursuant to
Section 6.5(a), the Indemnifying Parties will, subject to the provisions of
Section 6.5(c), assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim, but
shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the
defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense;
provided, that if an Indemnifying Party is also subject to the Third Party Claim
and counsel to the Indemnified Party reasonably determines in writing that a
conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Parties shall be liable under this
Article VI for the fees of the Indemnified Party's counsel and any other
expenses related to the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying
Parties shall select counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing
and competence after consultation with the Indemnified Party; shall take all
steps necessary in the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim; and
shall at all times diligently and promptly pursue the resolution of such Third
Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates
and representatives to, cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Parties in the
defense of any Third Party Claim defended by the Indemnifying Parties.


<PAGE>

         (c) The Indemnifying Parties shall be authorized to consent to a
settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim,
without the consent of any Indemnified Party; but only if the Indemnifying
Parties shall (i) pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such
settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement;
(ii) not encumber any of the assets of any Indemnified Party or agree to any
restriction or condition that would apply to or adversely affect any Indemnified
Party or to the conduct of any Indemnified Party's business; (iii) obtain, as a
condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete release of any
Indemnified Party potentially affected by such Third Party Claim.

         (d) The parties each hereby consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction
of any court in which a proceeding in respect of a Third-Party Claim is brought
against any Indemnified Party for purposes of any claim that an Indemnified
Party may have under this Agreement with respect to such proceeding or the
matters alleged therein and agree that process may be served on the Indemnifying
Party with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.

         SECTION 6.6 EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. The indemnities set forth in this Article
VI shall be the exclusive remedies of the parties for any misrepresentation,
breach of warranty or nonfulfillment or failure to perform any covenant or
agreement contained in this Agreement, and the parties shall not be entitled to
any further indemnification rights or claims of any nature whatsoever in respect
thereof.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                                OTHER AGREEMENTS
                                ----------------

         SECTION 7.1 REIMBURSEMENT FOR TAXES. Purchaser acknowledges that the
Initial Members will be taxed on the ordinary income each Initial Member
receives on the sale of the Transferred Securities. Purchaser agrees that at
Closing Equinox will, from the proceeds of the Initial Offering, reimburse the
Initial Members in an amount equal to the difference between the federal and
state income tax paid with respect to the sale of the Transferred Securities and
the amount which the Initial Members would have paid if the sale of the
Transferred Securities were taxed as long term capital gains, provided that such
amount shall not exceed $100,000 in the aggregate for all Initial Members. Such
amount shall be paid no later than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the date
that the Initial Members federal taxes are due.

         SECTION 7.2 PRIVATE PLACEMENT FOR EQUINOX. After the Closing, Purchaser
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to identify a bridge lender or
investor to invest at least $6,000,000 (the "Initial Offering") in Equinox, the
proceeds of which shall be used for overhead and operating expenses for Equinox
and to produce the projects and carbon credits to invest in alternative energy
projects selected by Equinox. Such Initial Offering shall be closed as follows:

         (a) At least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) will be invested in
Equinox within 90 days after the Closing of this Agreement;

         (b) At least Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) in the aggregate will be
invested in Equinox within 180 days after the Closing of this Agreement; and

         (c) At least Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) in the aggregate will be
invested in Equinox within 270 days after the Closing of this Agreement.

         (d) The closing of the Initial Offering (the "Offering Closing Date")
shall be deemed to occur upon receipt of $2.0 million by Equinox.

         (e) The terms of the Initial Offering shall be on terms and conditions
as agreed upon by Purchaser and a majority of the Initial Members; provided,
however, the Initial Members shall not unreasonably withhold their consent. Any
membership interests issued and sold in the Initial Offering will result in
dilution of the membership interests of both Purchaser and the Members;
provided, however, that the Initial Member's remaining interest shall not be
diluted by any offering, reverse merger, or conversion to less than 15% of the
total equity ownership until the Company has received not less than $25.0
million in gross proceeds from equity offerings. Thereafter, the Initial Members
shall be subject to dilution from any equity offering.


<PAGE>

         SECTION 7.3 INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING. In addition, subject to market
conditions and the availability of an underwriter, Purchaser will use
commercially reasonable efforts to engage an investment bank to conduct a firm
commitment public offering of Equinox securities to raise approximately $25.0
million, the proceeds of which shall be used for alternative energy projects, to
fund the operations of the carbon credit trading program and as otherwise
approved by the managing board of Equinox.

         SECTION 7.4 EXISTING AGREEMENTS. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the
Initial Members individually or together operate several other businesses
("Businesses") all of which provide services to Equinox. Furthermore, Equinox
has entered into an agreement with the Businesses whereby the Businesses have a
right of first refusal to provide particular services to Equinox. Purchaser and
the Initial Members shall cooperate in good faith to ensure that such agreements
are in the best interests of Equinox and, to the extent determined by Purchaser
and a majority in number of the Initial Members, none of whom shall be recused
from voting, such agreement shall be terminated, cancelled or modified.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Amended [and Restated] Operating
Agreement, the Purchaser and each Initial Member shall vote not by percentage of
ownership, but rather by each casting a single vote on issues arising pursuant
to this Section 7.4.

         SECTION 7.5 REMEDY FOR FAILURE TO RAISE CAPITAL. If Purchaser fails to
raise the capital required by Section 7.1 in a timely manner as required by
Section 7.1, then the Initial Members, as their sole remedy at law or in equity,
shall receive warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Purchaser common stock at
an exercise price of $0.01 per share for each breach of Section 7.1(a), (b) or
(c), which warrants will not be exercisable until the earlier of (i) two years
from the date of issuance or (ii) until the Initial Members exercise the
Repurchase Option (as defined in Section 7.6 below). Purchaser acknowledges and
agrees that such warrants shall be issued as liquidated damages, which Purchaser
acknowledges is fair and reasonable in light of the difficulty of determining
the actual damages caused by Purchaser's breach. The number of warrants shall be
reduced proportionately to the extent a portion of any required capital is
actually received by Equinox.

         SECTION 7.6 REPURCHASE RIGHT.

         (a) In the event that Purchaser fails to raise or invest in Equinox
gross proceeds of at least $6,000,000 in the Initial Offering on or before the
date that is one year after the Closing of this Agreement, the Initial Members
shall, from and after such date for a period of thirty (30) days, have an
irrevocable, exclusive option ("Repurchase Option") to repurchase thirty-one
percent (31%) of the Transferred Interests from the Purchaser (the "Restricted
Interests"); provided, however, such thirty-one percent (31%) shall be reduced
proportionately to the extent Equinox has received any equity or debt investment
prior to the date that is one year after the Closing. The purchase price for the
Restricted Interests shall be One Dollar ($1.00) (the "Purchase Price"). The
Repurchase Option may be assigned by the Initial Members to any third person.

         (b) The Repurchase Option shall be exercised by written notice by the
Member to the Purchaser, with a check in the amount of the Purchase Price for
the Restricted Interest being repurchased. Upon delivery by Member of such
notice and payment of the Purchase Price, the Member shall become the legal and
beneficial owner of the Restricted Interest being repurchased and all rights and
interest therein or related thereto, and the Initial Member Purchaser shall have
the right to transfer to its own name the Restricted Interest being repurchased
by the Initial Member, without further action by the Purchaser.

         SECTION 7.7 NONRECOURSE. Purchaser agrees that the $300,000.00
delivered pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be nonrecourse should the transaction
fail to close and the Purchaser waives any and all rights shall to seek recovery
of the $300,000.00 from the Initial Members.
