Hedges, commencing on the Start Date, an annual salary of $140,000 (the “Base

practices.  All forms of compensation referred to in this Agreement
are subject to withholding for applicable federal, state and local
taxes.

     

    (b)           Stock Options. On the

full.  Any vacation not taken by Ms. Hedges shall not carryover into
the succeeding year.  All unused and accrued vacation shall be paid to

employment.  Such vacation may only be taken at such time or times as
are not inconsistent with the reasonable business needs of the
Company.

shall make available family medical insurance for Ms. Hedges under the medical

similar plan. In addition, Ms. Hedges and her dependents shall be entitled to
participate in such other benefits as may be extended to active employees of the
Company and their dependents including retirement, profit-sharing, 401(k), group
insurance, hospitalization, medical or other benefits made available by the
Company to its employees generally.  Further, in the event that the
Company desires to obtain “key man” life insurance on the life of Ms. Hedges
during the Term, Ms. Hedges shall cooperate with the Company in obtaining such
insurance.

    

    5.           Expenses.  Ms.

    6.           Confidential
Information. Ms. Hedges shall not, during the Term or at anytime during
the five (5) years after termination of her employment, disclose, except as
required or necessary in the course of her employment by the Company or as
otherwise authorized by the Company, any Confidential Information (as defined
herein).  “Confidential
Information” shall mean any information existing as of the date of this
Agreement, or thereafter developed, in which the Company has a proprietary
interest, including, but not limited to, information relating to its patents,
technology, research and development, technical data, trade secrets, know-how,
products, services, finances, operations, sales and marketing, customers and
customer information, licenses, orders for the purchase or sale of products,
personnel matters and/or other information relating to the Company, whether
communicated orally, electronically or in writing, or otherwise obtained by Ms. Hedges as a result
of her employment, or through observation or examination of the Company’s
business.

     

    Notwithstanding
the above, Confidential Information does not include any information provided by
the Company to Ms. Hedges which: 

     

    
      	
              a.  

            	
              is
      known by Ms. Hedges or available to Ms. Hedges prior or subsequent to the
      time of disclosure to Ms. Hedges, and was not obtained, directly or
      indirectly, from the Company or from a source that is not bound by a duty
      of confidentiality with respect to such
  information;

            

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
               

            

    

    
      	
              b.  

            	
              at
      the time of disclosure was or subsequently becomes generally available to
      the public through no wrongful or unauthorized act of Ms.
      Hedges;

            

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
               

            

    

    
      	
              c.  

            	
              is
      discovered or developed independently by Ms. Hedges without use of the
      Confidential Information; or

            

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
               

            

    

    
      	
              d.  

            	
              is
      furnished to any third party by the Company without imposing restrictions
      similar to the restrictions imposed on Ms.
  Hedges.

            

    

     

    

    7.           Non-Competition
Covenant; Non Solicitation Covenant.

     

    (a)           During
the Term and for a period of one year thereafter, Ms. Hedges agrees that she
will not, directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, whether as
consultant, an officer, employee or director), engage in any business that
manufactures, sells, designs, develops or distributes wind turbines or any
business competing directly with the business in which the Company or those
businesses operated or provided by the Company at such time.

     

    (b)           Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, Ms. Hedges shall not be prevented or limited
from (i) investing in the stock or other securities of any corporation whose
stock or securities are publicly owned and regularly traded on any public
exchange, (ii) serving as a director, officer or member of professional, trade,
charitable and civic organizations, or (iii) passively investing (not to exceed
being a beneficial owner of more than 1% of the outstanding Common Stock) her
assets in such a form and manner as will not conflict with the terms of this
Agreement and will not require services (whether as consultant, an officer,
employee or director) on the part of Ms. Hedges in the operation of the business
of the entities in which such investments are made.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

       

      (c)           In
furtherance of the foregoing, Ms. Hedges shall not, during the aforesaid period
of non-competition as provided in Section 7(a), directly or indirectly, in
connection with any business involved in the manufacture, sale, design,
development or distribution of wind turbines, or any business competing directly
with the business in which the Company was engaged, or in the process of
developing during Ms. Hedges’ tenure with the Company, or solicit any customer
or employee of the Company who was a customer or employee of the Company during
the tenure of her employment.

    

     

    (d)           Ms.
Hedges agrees that the prohibitions contained herein are reasonable and valuable
to the Company, and are express conditions of the Company’s decision to employ
her. If any court shall hold that the duration, scope or any other provision of
non-competition or any other restriction contained in this Section 7 is
unenforceable, it is our intention that same shall not thereby be terminated but
shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom such provision or portion
adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable or, in the alternative, such
judicially substituted term may be substituted therefore.

    

    8.           Termination
of Agreement.  This Agreement shall terminate upon the
occurrence of the following events:

     

    (a)           This
Agreement shall terminate upon Executive’s death.

     

    (b)           The
Company may terminate this Agreement upon Executive’s “total disability” (“Disability”),
which shall mean incapacity due to physical or mental illness or disability,
which renders her absent, or unable to perform her duties hereunder on a full
time basis for a period of six (6) months, whether consecutive or cumulative,
within any twelve (12) month period.

     

    (c)     
The
Company may terminate this Agreement for “Good Cause” (as defined below) upon
thirty (30) days prior written notice to Executive, subject to any applicable
time to cure, which notice shall specify the reason(s) for
termination.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Good
Cause” means (i) willful disobedience by the Executive of a material and
lawful instruction of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer of
the Company; (ii) conviction of the Executive of any misdemeanor involving fraud
or embezzlement or similar crime or any felony; (iii) an order is entered by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, a state regulatory agency or an exchange on
which the Company’s securities are traded finding that Executive has violated
the securities laws; (iv) breach by the Employee of any material term, condition
or covenant of this Agreement; (v) excessive absences from work, other than for
illness or Disability.  In the case of any breach of Sections 8 (c)
(i), (iv) or (v) which is capable of being cured, termination will not occur
unless the breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after Company has
provided Executive with written notice thereof.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

       

      (d)   Executive
may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the
Company.

    

     

    (e)   This
Agreement may be terminated upon the mutual agreement of Company and Executive.

     

    9.    Obligations
Following Termination of Agreement.

    
    

     

    (a)   If this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8, the Company shall have no
obligation to pay any Severance Payments (as defined below) or benefits to
Executive; provided, however, Company shall be obligated to pay Executive (or in
the case of her death, her spouse, estate or representative) all unpaid salary,
earned bonuses, vacation and other benefits accrued through the date of
termination of this Agreement and shall provide such other benefits, such as
health insurance continuation in the manner required by Section 4980B of
the Code or other applicable law (“COBRA
Coverage”).

     

    (b)   If this
Agreement is terminated by Company without “Good Cause” as defined in Section
8:

    

    (i) Executive
shall be paid all unpaid salary, earned bonuses, vacation and other benefits
accrued through the date of termination and shall receive such other benefits,
as may be required by statute, such as health insurance continuation coverage
under COBRA;

    

    (ii) Executive
shall receive as severance payment an amount equal to the Executive’s annual
salary at the rate in effect as of the date of Executive’s termination for the
remainder of the Term; provided, however, the aggregate amount of such severance
payments shall not be less than two times the Executive’s annual
salary.  Any severance payments are payable on normal pay dates during
the remainder of the Term in accordance with the Company’s pay policies in
effect prior to termination date.  In addition, for the twelve (12)
month period immediately after the termination of this Agreement, Company shall
continue to provide and pay the premium for the health insurance provided to
Executive (and her family, if applicable) immediately prior to the termination
of this Agreement and the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to
cause such COBRA Coverage not to be offset by the provision of benefits under
this Section 9(b)(ii) and to cause the period of COBRA Coverage under the
Company’s health insurance to commence at the end of the twelve (12) month
period. The Executive shall be responsible for the payment of any COBRA premium
during the subsequent continuation period (collectively, the payments under this
clause (ii) are referred to as “Severance
Payments”);

    

    (iii) Executive
shall not be required to mitigate damages of the amount of any salary
continuation payments provided for under this Section by seeking other
employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payments provided for under
this Section be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as a result of
employment by another employer or by any self employment after the date of
termination;

     

    
      
         

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (iv) All
options for Company capital stock and restricted stock granted to Executive
pursuant to the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan including, without
limitation, those granted pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof, or otherwise, that
remain unvested shall immediately vest, and Executive shall have a period of 120
days following termination to exercise her vested options, subject to the
provisions of the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan and applicable IRS
regulations (provided that any delays in payment or settlement set forth in such
grant or award agreements that are required under Section 409A of the Code
shall remain effective).

     

    (c)   Upon the
termination of this Agreement for any reason, any and all restrictions (other
than restrictions which are the result of applicable Federal securities laws and
regulations and those restrictions which Executive has entered into with a third
party on a contractual basis) on the transfer of shares of Company’s capital
stock then owned by Executive (which shall include any and all option shares
unvested at the time of the termination) shall be terminated as of the date of
termination of this Agreement.

     

    (d)   All of
the obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 9 are contingent upon
the Executive complying with the provisions of section 6 (Confidential
Information) and Section 7 (Non-Competition Covenant; Non Solicitation
Covenant).  In the event that Executive does not comply with the
aforementioned sections of this Agreement, then Company shall not be obligated
to provide Executive with any of the benefits set forth in this Section
9.  In the case of any breach of Sections 6 or 7 which is capable of
being cured, termination of Severance Payments will not occur unless the breach
is not cured within thirty (30) days after Company has provided Executive with
written notice specifying the breach.

     

    (e)   Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 9 or anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, the Medical Benefits that are not non-taxable medical benefits,
“disability pay” or “death benefit” plans within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5) shall be provided and administered in a
manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv),
which requires that (i) the amount of such benefits provided during one
taxable year shall not affect the amount of such benefits provided in any other
taxable year, except that to the extent such benefits consist of the
reimbursement of expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the Code, a
maximum, if provided under the terms of the plan providing such Medical Benefit,
may be imposed on the amount of such reimbursements over some or all of the
period in which such benefit is to be provided to the Executive, as described in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(iv)(B), (ii) to the extent
that any such benefits consist of reimbursement of eligible expenses, such
reimbursement must be made on or before the last day of the Executive’s taxable
year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred and
(iii) no such benefit may be liquidated or exchanged for another
benefit.

    10.   Indemnification.  The Company
shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless Ms.
Hedges against any and all damages, liabilities and expenses, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, expenses, fees,
losses, claims, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred
in connection with any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, arbitrational, administrative or investigative, arising by
reason of Ms. Hedges’ employment by, or provision of services to, the Company
other than the willful violation of law by Ms. Hedges.  The Company
agrees to obtain Directors and Officers Liability insurance, and to include Ms.
Hedges in the coverage of this policy during the term of this Agreement and for
a period of two (2) years thereafter, or for the period of the applicable
statute of limitation, whichever is longer.  In the alternative to
continuing the insurance for the period subsequent to Ms. Hedges employment, the
Company shall provide a policy of Director and Officer liability insurance that
covers all claims that arose while Ms. Hedges was employed, whether such claims
are made during or subsequent to Ms. Hedges employment.  The Company
shall promptly advance, prior to the final disposition of any proceeding,
promptly following request therefor, all fees and expenses incurred by Executive
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of Executive to repay said amounts if it shall be
determined ultimately that Executive is not entitled to be indemnified under the
provisions of this Agreement.

    

    11.        Work-for
Hire.  Except as otherwise may be agreed by the Company in
writing, in consideration of the employment of Ms. Hedges by the Company, and
free of any additional obligations of the Company to make additional payment to
her, Ms. Hedges agrees to irrevocably assign to the Company any and all
inventions, software, manuscripts, documentation, improvements or other
intellectual property whether or not protected by any state or federal laws
relating to the protection of intellectual property, relating to the present or
future business of the Company that are developed by Ms. Hedges prior to the
termination of her employment with the Company, either alone or jointly with
others, and whether or not developed during normal business hours or arising
within the scope of his/her duties of employment.  Ms. Hedges agrees
that all such inventions, software, manuscripts, documentation, improvement,
trade secrets or other intellectual property shall be and remain the sole and
exclusive property of the Company and shall be deemed the product of work for
hire.  Ms. Hedges hereby agrees to execute such assignments and other
documents as the Company may consider appropriate to vest all right, title and
interest therein to the Company and hereby appoints the Company as Ms. Hedges’
attorney-in-fact with full powers to execute such document itself in the event
Ms. Hedges fails or is unable to provide the Company with such signed
documents.  This provision does not apply to an invention for which no
equipment, supplies, facility, or intellectual property or trade secret
information of the Company was used and which was developed entirely on Ms.
Hedges’ own time, unless (a) the invention relates (i) to the business of the
Company, or (ii) to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or
development, or (b) the invention results from any work performed by Ms. Hedges
for the Company.

    

    12.         Miscellaneous.

any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by

reduced to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the law as it
shall then appear.  The total invalidity or unenforceability of any
particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions
hereof and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid
or unenforceable provision were omitted.

     

    (c)           This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the
