    WHERAS,

    WHEREAS,
      Catalytica, Renegy Holdings, Inc., Acorn and Buyer have entered into a Stock
      Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”)
      pursuant to which Buyer shall acquire directly or indirectly all of the equity
      interests of Catalytica in CESI-SCR and SCR-Tech;
