	ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE OF COMMON SHARES

     1.1    Purchase and Sale of Common Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, Cogenco agrees to issue and sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to subscribe for and take up, at the Closing, the Purchased Shares.

The Purchaser shall pay the purchase price to Cogenco in accordance with wiring instructions provided to Purchaser.

     1.3    Use of Proceeds. Cogenco intends to use approximately $50,000 received from the Purchaser as working capital for itself, pay $130,000 to Genesis Capital Management Limited

(“GCM”) as a finder’s fee pursuant to an agreement between Cogenco and GCM, and lend the balance of the proceeds from the sale of the Purchased Shares (expected to be approximately $2,420,000 to GCM, which to the Knowledge of Cogenco, will use the funds: (i) to repay approximately $185,900 of indebtedness owed by GCM to Cogenco, and the balance for general working capital purposes for itself and certain of its subsidiary or related entities including (without limitation, the entities described in the attached promissory note).

     1.4    Related Party Transaction. The Purchaser understands that the Company’s largest shareholder, Genesis Investment Funds Limited, is controlled by GCM, and this loan can be considered to be a related party transaction.

Further, Cogenco cannot offer any assurance that GCA will be able to fully and timely repay any funds Cogenco may lend to GCA. Cogenco plans to loan the funds to GCM pursuant to the promissory note that is attached as an exhibit to this subscription agreement but, in general, Cogenco will have little ability to control GCM’s activities or operations.

Furthermore, the Purchaser acknowledges that the terms of the loan were not negotiated at arms’-length. By purchasing Cogenco common stock, the Purchaser represents that he has discussed the investment and the use of funds with GCM as well as Cogenco, and further acknowledges and approves of the use of proceeds of the Purchaser’s investment.

On receipt of payment of the Purchase Price, Cogenco will prepare a stock certificate in the name of Purchaser for the total number of shares purchased and shall deliver the certificate to Purchaser on or after the Closing the stock certificate(s) against payment of the purchase price therefor, by certified check or wire transfer payable to the Company or its designated agent.

all or any part of such Purchased Shares under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or under an exemption from such registration available under the Securities Act, and subject, nevertheless, to the disposition of Purchaser’s property being at all times within its control.

     3.13    Good Funds. All funds used for the purchase of the Purchased Shares originated directly from a bank or brokerage account in the name of the Purchaser located within the United States of America or another Compliant Jurisdiction as defined in by the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (found at http://www.oecd.org/fatf/) or in any other manner that may violate the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT ACT) Act of 2001, Pub.

	FORM OF NON-NEGOTIABLE PROMISSORY NOTE 
	  
	Date of Note: May __, 2009  	  	Principal  Amount:   $2,420,000  
		  	  

PROMISE TO PAY. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, GENESIS CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LIMITED, a licensed fund management company (“Genesis”) promises to pay to COGENCO INTERNATIONAL, INC. (“Cogenco”), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the Principal Amount stated above, together with interest at the rate of 6.000% per annum on the unpaid principal balance from the Date of Note stated above, until paid in full. The interest rate may change under the terms and conditions of the “INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT” section. PAYMENT. Genesis will pay the principal and interest due on this loan on the “Maturity Date,” being one year after the Date of Note. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any late charges; and then to any unpaid collection costs. The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on the basis of a 360 day year; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Genesis will pay Cogenco at Cogenco’s address, Suite 1840, 6400 South Fiddler’s Green Circle, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80112, or at such other place as Cogenco may designate in writing.

PREPAYMENT; MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE. Genesis may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Cogenco in writing, relieve Genesis of Genesis's obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due. Genesis agrees not to send Cogenco payments marked “paid in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language. If Genesis sends such a payment, Cogenco may accept it without losing any of Cogenco’s rights under this Note, and Genesis will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Cogenco. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full" of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to Cogenco at the address set forth above.

LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 11 days or more late, Genesis will be charged 5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment.

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, the interest rate on this Note shall be increased to 21.000% per annum. However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law.

DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) under this Note:

Payment Default. Genesis fails to make any payment when due under this Note. 

Other Defaults. Genesis fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or in any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Cogenco and Genesis.

Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Genesis’ existence as a going business, the insolvency of Genesis, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Genesis’ property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Genesis.

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Genesis or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan. This includes a garnishment of any of Genesis’ accounts, including deposit accounts, with Cogenco. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Genesis as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Genesis gives Cogenco written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Cogenco monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Cogenco, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Genesis’ financial condition, or Cogenco believes the prospect of payment or performance of this Note is impaired.

Insecurity. Cogenco in good faith believes itself insecure.

Cure Provisions. If any default, other than a default in payment is curable and if Genesis has not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Note within the preceding twelve months, it may be cured if Genesis, after receiving written notice from Cogenco demanding cure of such default: (1) cures the default within 20 days; or (2) if the cure requires more than 20 days, immediately initiates steps which Cogenco deems in Cogenco’s sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

COGENCO'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Cogenco may declare the entire unpaid principal balance under this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then Genesis will pay that amount.

ATTORNEYS’ FEES; EXPENSES. Cogenco may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note if Genesis does not pay. Genesis will pay Cogenco the reasonable costs of such collection. This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Cogenco’s attorneys’ fees and Cogencos legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), and appeals. If not prohibited by applicable law, Genesis also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.

JURY WAIVER. Cogenco and Genesis hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either Cogenco or Genesis against the other.

GOVERNING LAW. This Note will be governed by federal law applicable to Cogenco and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Colorado without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. This Note has been accepted by Cogenco in the State of Colorado.

CHOICE OF VENUE. If there is a lawsuit, Genesis agrees upon Cogenco’s request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Denver County, State of Colorado.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Cogenco reserves a right of setoff in all amounts Cogenco may owe to Genesis and with respect to Genesis’ ownership of Cogenco common stock. Genesis authorizes Cogenco, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the indebtedness against any and all such accounts, and, at Cogenco’s option, to administratively freeze all such accounts to allow Cogenco to protect Cogenco’s charge and setoff rights provided in this paragraph.

NO COLLATERAL. This Note is unsecured.

SUCCESSOR INTERESTS. The terms of this Note shall be binding upon Genesis, and upon Genesis’ heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Cogenco and its successors and assigns.

GENESIS REPRESENTATIONS. Genesis represents that it has received the full benefit of the Principal Amount, including a portion retained by Cogenco for the repayment of accumulated debt in the total amount of $185,826.57 (deriving from a promissory note dated March 6, 2008 in the original principal amount of $250,000, which note is deemed paid in full). Genesis further represents that it will use the full amount of the remaining proceeds of the loan made to Genesis by Cogenco for the purposes of its subsidiary, Genesis Energy Investments, PLC (“GEI”), an Hungarian entity whose common stock is traded on the Budapest Stock Exchange, and that GEI will use the proceeds it receives as working capital and for the operation of its subsidiary companies, including (without limitation) Genesis Solar España, S.L. (“GSE”), a sociedad limitada formed under Spanish law in the process of financing and building a plant to build a-Si thin film single junction glass in or near Cadíz, Spain. Genesis will provide regular reports to Cogenco regarding the expenditure of the funds received from Cogenco.

GENERAL PROVISIONS. If any part of this Note cannot be enforced, this fact will not affect the rest of the Note. Cogenco may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Note without losing them. Genesis understands and agrees that, with or without notice to Genesis, Cogenco may with respect to any other Genesis (a) make one or more additional secured or unsecured loans or otherwise extend additional credit; (b) alter, compromise, renew, extend, accelerate, or otherwise change one or more times the time for payment or other terms of any indebtedness, including increases and decreases of the rate of interest on the indebtedness; (c) exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate, fail or decide not to perfect, and release any security, with or without the substitution of new collateral; (d) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, including without limitation, any non-judicial sale permitted by the terms of the controlling security agreements, as Cogenco in its discretion may determine; (e) release, substitute, agree not to sue, or deal with any one or more of Genesis’ sureties, endorsers, or other guarantors on any terms or in any manner Cogenco may choose; and (f) determine how, when and what application of payments and credits shall be made on any other indebtedness owing by such other Genesis. Genesis and any other person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed by law, waive presentment, demand for payment, and notice of dishonor. Upon any change in the terms of this Note, and unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party who signs this Note, whether as maker, guarantor, accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from liability. All such parties agree that Cogenco may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any length of time) this loan or release any party or guarantor or collateral; and take any other action deemed necessary by Cogenco without the consent of or notice to anyone. All such parties also agree that Cogenco may modify this loan without the consent of or notice to anyone other than the party with whom the modification is made.
