The Parties agree that the issuance of Merger Consideration defined in Section 1(d) to the GREG Stockholders shall satisfy in full any prior understanding between IPS and GREG regarding such customer Contracts and relationships and any claims that may be asserted by GREG or the GREG Stockholders in connection therewith as if GREG had achieved its required milestones.
 (b)
 Closing; Effective Date.
 (i)
 The Closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place upon the execution of this Agreement at the offices of counsel to IPS, Durham Jones & Pinegar, P.C., 111 East Broadway, Suite 900, Salt Lake City, UT 84111, or at such other location as may be agreed to by the Parties, on or before July 19, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), or at such other date, time or location as may be agreed to by the Parties.

 (d)
 Merger Consideration. At the Effective Date, by virtue of the Merger and without any additional action required on the part of the Stockholders, IPS, GREG, or the Buyer, the consideration for the Merger provided in this Section 1(d) (the “Merger Consideration”), subject to adjustment, shall be paid as follows:
 (i)
 Exchange of Securities.  The Parties intend that the issued and outstanding shares of IPS common stock held by the IPS Stockholders (“IPS Shares”) and of GREG common stock held by the GREG Stockholders (“GREG Shares”) be exchanged for shares of BBLU, pursuant to this Section 1(d)(i).  Additionally, the Parties intend that the shares of common stock held by Brian Smith (the “Smith Shares”) be exchanged for BBLU shares pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith between BBLU and Smith (the “Smith Purchase Agreement”), simultaneously with the effectiveness of the exchange of the IPS Shares and the GREG shares at the Closing.  (The IPS Shares, the Smith Shares, and the GREG shares may be referred to herein as the “Exchange Shares”).  Accordingly, the Exchange Shares shall be exchanged, through Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, or pursuant to the Smith Purchase Agreement, as applicable, for a total of 15,550,000 restricted shares of BBLU common stock (the “BBLU Shares”) valued at Eighteen Million Three Hundred Forty Nine Thousand dollars ($18,349,000) or $1.18 per share, issuable to the IPS and GREG Stockholders and Smith in the respective amounts set forth opposite their names on Schedule D attached hereto.  The Merger Consideration was determined by the Parties based on the mutually agreed-upon future revenues and earnings forecast prepared by the management of IPS and GREG. All of the BBLU Shares issued in the Merger and pursuant to the Smith Purchase Agreement shall vest on the schedule in Section 1(d) below and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Lock-Up Agreement described in Section 2(a).
 (ii)
 Vesting Schedule of the BBLU Shares. The BBLU Shares issued as Merger Consideration shall be issued subject to the following vesting schedule:
 ·
 50,000 BBLU Shares which were issued previously to Robert Nickolas Jones (“Jones”) per the written instructions of the IPS and GREG Stockholders for his services as a finder who initially introduced the Parties, in consideration for the binding LOA signed by the Parties on April 11, 2013, vested when issued.  BBLU shall issue to Jones an additional 100,000 BBLU Shares within one week of Closing and said BBLU Shares shall be fully vested when issued.

 10,500,000 BBLU Shares shall be issued to the Stockholders and Smith at Closing in the amounts set forth in Schedule D, and shall vest at the rate of 1,500,000 BBLU Shares per Initial Project on the date that each of the Initial Projects or substitutes of similar value therefor, as mutually agreed to by BBLU and IPS commences producing commercial power (the “Commercial Operation Date”).

Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1(e), each IPS Certificate shall be deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of BBLU, and each IPS Certificate and each GREG Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Closing to represent only the holder’s right to receive a pro rata portion of the Merger Consideration as contemplated by Section 1(d). 
 (ii)

All outstanding options, warrants and other convertible securities of IPS and GREG, and any IPS and GREG treasury shares, shall be surrendered at the Closing and retired.

 (iv)

The Board of Directors of IPS after the Closing Date shall consist of Robert Potts, Ray Lundberg, John Francis and Johnny Thomas.  No other directors shall be elected without the mutual consent of the IPS Stockholders and the Board of Directors of BBLU.

The Merger shall have all further effects as specified in the applicable provisions of the URBCA and the NRS.
 (vii)
 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action.

 Intent.

Each Party shall treat the Merger consistently with the foregoing, including filing the information and maintaining the records required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3, and shall not take any position inconsistent therewith.  No Party shall take any action that would cause the Merger not to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code.
 (x)
 Effective Date of the Merger. In the event that the Merger is consummated, the Parties agree that the Merger shall be accounted for as if such Merger had occurred at the close of business on July 15, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), regardless of when the Closing in fact occurs. In the event that the Merger is consummated, BBLU shall realize any operating profit or loss from the operation of the Business of IPS after the Effective Date.  Accordingly, the Stockholders agree to consult the Buyer and BBLU on any material issues or Contracts of IPS or GREG, as the case may be, that relate to a period of time beyond the Effective Date.  Furthermore, the Stockholders agree not to enter into any new capital obligations or capital expenditures, which relate to either IPS or GREG prior to the Closing except in the Ordinary Course of Business.

Neither the IPS Stockholders nor IPS has any interest in any entity other than IPS that is engaged, directly or indirectly, in businesses competitive with those of IPS or BBLU, except as disclosed on Schedule 3(b). This Agreement has been, and each of the other agreements and instruments executed hereunder (the “Other Agreements”) will at the Closing, be duly executed and delivered by the IPS Stockholders. This Agreement constitutes, and each of the Other Agreements will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the IPS Stockholders enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles.
 (c)
 Conflicts.  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the other agreements to which such IPS Stockholder is a party, nor the consummation or performance of the Merger will, directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time):

 (g)
 Non-Registration.  Each IPS Stockholder understands that the BBLU Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and that if issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be issued by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the IPS Stockholder’s representations as expressed herein.
 (h)
 Restricted Securities.  Each IPS Stockholder understands that the BBLU Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as this Agreement contemplates that, if acquired by the IPS Stockholder pursuant hereto, the BBLU Shares would be acquired in a transaction not involving any public offering.  Each IPS Stockholder further acknowledges that if the BBLU Shares were issued to the IPS Stockholder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such BBLU Shares may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act or the existence of an exemption therefrom.  In this connection, each IPS Stockholder represents that he is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
 


 9
 

 
 

 (i)
 Legends.  Each IPS Stockholder understands that the certificates evidencing the BBLU Shares will bear one or all of the following legends:
 (i)
 “THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.  THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF SUCH ACT.”
 (ii)
 Any legend required by the “blue sky” laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the securities represented by the certificate so legended.
 (j)
 Schedule 13D; Section 16(b).  If the number of BBLU Shares acquired by any IPS Stockholder, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock of BBLU owned by such Stockholder at such time would result in the Stockholder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding BBLU Shares and the BBLU Shares are then registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, such Stockholder shall comply with the disclosure requirements of Schedule 13D and, if such amount exceeds 9.99%, such Stockholder shall also comply with the reporting obligations of Sections 16(a) and 16(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder.  BBLU shall provide to Stockholders, at BBLU’s sole cost and expense, the services of BBLU’s legal counsel to advise and prepare all such documents and filings as may be necessary to allow Stockholders to comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act.
 (k)

Covenants and other executory obligations contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing. The right to indemnification, payment of damages and other remedies based on representations, warranties, covenants and obligations in this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.
 (b)
 Indemnity by Stockholders.  Provided that the Merger contemplated by this Agreement is closed, the Stockholders hereby agree, severally and not jointly, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer and BBLU and their respective Affiliates, stockholders, partners, directors, officers, employees and other agents and representatives from and against all liabilities, losses, costs or damages whatsoever (including expenses and reasonable fees of legal counsel) (“Claims”) arising out of or relating to Claims made prior to the Survival Date or the Extended Survival Date, if applicable, in the event that it is determined that such Claims arise out of or from or are based upon (i) the inaccuracy in any material respect of any representation or warranty contained (in the case of the IPS Stockholders) in Section 3 or (in the case of the GREG Stockholders) in Section 4, (ii) the non-performance by the Stockholders in any material respect of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Stockholders under this Agreement; provided, however, that IPS Stockholders shall not be responsible for any non-performance by GREG Stockholders and GREG Stockholders shall not be responsible for any non-performance by IPS Stockholders; or (iii) the assessment of any material federal, state local or other tax liabilities due and payable by IPS (as to the IPS Stockholders) or GREG (as to the GREG Stockholders) for all periods through December 31, 2012.

 Defense of Claims.  
 (i)
 Whenever any Claim shall arise for indemnification hereunder, the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall notify the indemnifying party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing within 30 days after the Indemnitee has actual knowledge that it is entitled to indemnification of such Claim constituting the basis for such Claim (the “Notice of Claim”). The Notice of Claim shall specify all facts known to the Indemnitee giving rise to such indemnification claim and the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising therefrom.
 

 


 49
 

 
 
 (ii)
 If the facts giving rise to any such indemnification shall involve any actual, threatened or possible claim or demand by any Person against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be entitled (without prejudice to the right of the Indemnitee to participate at its expense through co-counsel of its own choosing) to contest or defend such claim at his expense and through counsel of his own choosing if he gives written notice of his intention to do so to the Indemnitee within 10 days after receipt of the Notice of Claim; provided that Indemnitor diligently prosecutes or defends such claim.
 (iii)
 The Indemnitee shall not settle any claim that would give rise to liability on the part of the Indemnitor under the indemnity contained in this Section without the written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. If a firm offer is made to settle a claim or litigation defended by the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor refuses to accept such offer within 20 days after receipt of written notice from the Indemnitee of the terms of such offer, then, in such event, the Indemnitee shall continue to contest or defend such claim and shall be indemnified pursuant to the terms hereof. Provided, however, that in the event the Indemnitor refuses to accept such offer to settle a claim as described above and the Indemnitee continues to contest or defend such claim, the indemnification provided for herein shall be deemed to include the value of management’s time spent in connection with the defense of such claim. If a firm offer is made to settle a claim or litigation and the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee in writing that the Indemnitor desires to accept and agree to such settlement, but the Indemnitee elects not to accept or agree to it, the Indemnitee may continue to contest or defend such claim or litigation and. in such event, the total maximum liability of the Indemnitor to indemnify or otherwise reimburse the Indemnitee hereunder with respect to such claim or litigation shall be limited to and shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer, plus reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) to the date of notice that the Indemnitor desires to accept such settlement.
 (iv)
 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Stockholders’ nor the Buyer’s or BBLU’s maximum liability for indemnification shall exceed the Merger Consideration nor shall any Stockholder’s maximum liability for indemnification exceed the number of shares issued to the Stockholder as Merger Consideration multiplied by $1.18 per share.
 (v)
 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6 by an Indemnitee shall be asserted or claimed except for the amount of such Claim in excess of the aggregate, the sum of $25,000 (the “Stockholders’ Basket”).  Any Loss suffered by Buyer for payment of any insurance deductible in connection with any proceedings shall be excluded from the Stockholders’ Basket.
 (vi)
 All claims for indemnification against the Stockholders shall be satisfied by the Stockholders severally and not jointly, at their option, either in cash or in BBLU Shares at their then Market Price, up to the maximum described above.
 


 50
 

 
 
 (e)
 Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the remedies available to Buyer under this Section 6 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Buyer as between Buyer and Stockholders in relation to this Agreement, but this Section 6 shall not affect any legal or equitable rights, if any, that the Stockholders or any of them may have to seek indemnification or contribution among the Stockholders or any of them.

Thereafter, any unresolved dispute shall be settled by arbitration administered by the AAA or such other arbitration service as is mutually agreeable to the parties to the dispute in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules or such other commercial arbitration rules as is mutually agreeable to the parties to the dispute.  Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, and the resolution of the disputed matter as determined by the arbitrator(s) shall be binding on the parties.  Any such mediation or arbitration shall be conducted in Las Vegas, Nevada, applying Utah law. The Parties hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of the courts in Nevada for purposes of enforcing the provisions of this Agreement.
 (b)
 Any Party may, without inconsistency with this Agreement, seek from a court any interim or provisional relief that may be necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party pending the establishment of the arbitral tribunal, or pending the arbitral tribunal’s determination of the merits of the controversy.

 (c)
 The arbitrator(s) may award costs and fees to the prevailing Party if, in his/her (their) discretion, the non-prevailing Party did not prosecute the arbitration or settlement of the dispute in good faith.  “Costs and fees” for this purpose shall mean reasonable pre-award expenses of the arbitration, including fees for the arbitrator(s), administrative fees, travel expenses, out-of-pocket expenses such as copying and telephone, court costs, witness fees and attorneys’ fees.  Except as otherwise awarded by the arbitrator(s), all costs and fees shall be borne by the party incurring such costs and fees.
 (d)
 The award shall be in writing and shall be signed by the arbitrator(s) and shall include a statement regarding the disposition of any statutory claim.

If any part of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable or invalid under, or in conflict with, the applicable law of any jurisdiction, the unenforceable, invalid or conflicting part shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be narrowed or replaced, to the extent possible, with a judicial construction in such jurisdiction that effectuates the intent of the parties regarding this Agreement and such unenforceable, invalid or conflicting part.
