    (d) Purchase
      for Investment.
      Buyers
      are financially able to bear the economic risks of acquiring an interest in
      the
      Company and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and have no need for
      liquidity in this investment. Buyers have such knowledge and experience in
      financial and business matters in general, and with respect to businesses of
      a
      nature similar to the business of the Company, so as to be capable of evaluating
      the merits and risks of, and making an informed business decision with regard
      to, the acquisition of the Shares. Buyers are acquiring the Shares solely for
      their own account and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any
      distribution or public offering thereof, within the meaning of any applicable
      securities laws and regulations, unless such distribution or offering is
      registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
      Act”),
      or an
      exemption from such registration is available. Buyers have (i) received all
      the
      information they have deemed necessary to make an informed investment decision
      with respect to the acquisition of the Shares, (ii) had an opportunity to make
      such investigation as they have desired pertaining to the Company and the
      acquisition of an interest therein, and to verify the information which is,
      and
      has been, made available to them and (iii) had the opportunity to ask questions
      of Seller concerning the Company. Buyers have received no public solicitation
      or
      advertisement with respect to the offer or sale of the Shares. Buyers realize
      that the Shares are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144
      promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
      Act,
      the resale of the Shares is restricted by federal and state securities laws
      and,
      accordingly, the Shares must be held indefinitely unless their resale is
      subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
      registration is available for their resale. Buyers understand that any resale
      of
      the Shares by them must be registered under the Securities Act (and any
      applicable state securities law) or be effected in circumstances that, in the
      opinion of counsel for the Company at the time, create an exemption or otherwise
      do not require registration under the Securities Act (or applicable state
      securities laws). Buyers acknowledge and consent that certificates now or
      hereafter issued for the Shares will bear a legend substantially as
      follows:

     

    THE
      SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
      SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR QUALIFIED UNDER
      ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS (THE “STATE ACTS”), HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
      INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED
      EXCEPT PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND
      QUALIFICATION UNDER THE STATE ACTS OR PURSUANT TO EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH
      REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF THE
      SECURITIES ACT, THE EXEMPTIONS AFFORDED BY SECTION 4(1) OF THE SECURITIES ACT
      AND RULE 144 THEREUNDER). AS A PRECONDITION TO ANY SUCH TRANSFER, THE ISSUER
      OF
      THESE SECURITIES SHALL BE FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OPINING AS TO
      THE
      AVAILABILITY OF EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION AND/OR
      SUCH
      OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY BE SATISFACTORY THERETO THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER WILL NOT
      VIOLATE THE SECURITIES LAWS.

     

    Buyers
      understand that the Shares are being sold to them pursuant to the exemption
      from
      registration contained in Section 4(1) of the Securities Act and that Seller
      is
      relying upon the representations made herein as one of the bases for claiming
      the Section 4(1) exemption. 

     

    (e) Liabilities.
      Following the Closing, Seller will have no debts, liabilities or obligations
      relating to the Company or its business or activities, whether before or after
      the Closing, and there are no outstanding guaranties, performance or payment
      bonds, letters of credit or other contingent contractual obligations that have
      been undertaken by Seller directly or indirectly in relation to the Company
      or
      its business and that may survive the Closing. 

     

    (f) Title
      to Purchase Price Shares.
      Buyers
      are the sole record and beneficial owners of the Purchase Price Shares. At
      Closing, Buyers will have good and marketable title to the Purchase Price
      Shares, which Purchase Price Shares are, and at the Closing will be, free and
      clear of all options, warrants, pledges, claims, liens and encumbrances, and
      any
      restrictions or limitations prohibiting or restricting transfer to Seller,
      except for restrictions on transfer as contemplated by applicable securities
      laws.

    (g) Capitalization.
      As of
      the date hereof, Seller owns the Shares, which shares represent 100% of the
      authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company. The Shares
      are
      duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid, non-assessable and free and clear
      of any Liens.

     

    5. Indemnification
      and Release.
      

     

    (a) Indemnification.
      Buyers
      covenant and agree to jointly and severally indemnify, defend, protect and
      hold
      harmless Seller, and its officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents,
      representatives and affiliates (collectively, together with Seller, the
“Seller
      Indemnified Parties”)
      at all
      times from and after the date of this Agreement from and against all losses,
      liabilities, damages, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments,
      adjustments, costs and expenses (including specifically, but without limitation,
      reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation), whether or not
      involving a third party claim and regardless of any negligence of any Seller
      Indemnified Party (collectively, “Losses”),
      incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party as a result of or arising from (i)
      any
      breach of the representations and warranties of Buyers set forth herein or
      in
      certificates delivered in connection herewith, (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment
      of any covenant or agreement on the part of Buyers under this Agreement, (iii)
      any debt, liability or obligation of the Company, whether incurred or arising
      prior to the date hereof or after, (iv) any debt, liability or obligation of
      Seller for actions taken prior to that certain merger by and between Seller
      and
      Clear Skies Group, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Merger”),
      including, without limitation, any amounts due or owing to any former officer,
      director or Affiliate of Seller, (v) the conduct and operations of the business
      of the Company whether before or after the Closing, (vi) claims asserted against
      the Company whether arising before or after the Closing, or (vii) any federal
      or
      state income tax payable by Seller and attributable to the transaction
      contemplated by this Agreement or activities prior to the Merger or with respect
      to the Company after the Merger.

     

    (b) Third
      Party Claims.

     

    (i) If
      any
      claim or liability (a “Third-Party
      Claim”)
      should
      be asserted against any of the Seller Indemnified Parties (the “Indemnitee”)
      by a
      third party after the Closing for which Buyers have an indemnification
      obligation under the terms of Section 5(a), then the Indemnitee shall notify
      Buyers (the “Indemnitor”)
      within
      20 days after the Third-Party Claim is asserted by a third party (said
      notification being referred to as a “Claim
      Notice”)
      and
      give the Indemnitor a reasonable opportunity to take part in any examination
      of
      the books and records of the Indemnitee relating to such Third-Party Claim
      and
      to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and in connection therewith
      and
      to conduct any proceedings or negotiations relating thereto and necessary or
      appropriate to defend the Indemnitee and/or settle the Third-Party Claim. The
      expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of all negotiations,
      proceedings, contests, lawsuits or settlements with respect to any Third-Party
      Claim shall be borne by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor agrees to assume
      the
      defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim
      Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, through counsel reasonably
      satisfactory to Indemnitee, then the Indemnitor shall be entitled to control
      the
      conduct of such defense, and shall be responsible for any expenses of the
      Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim so long
      as
      the Indemnitor continues such defense until the final resolution of such
      Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitor shall be responsible for paying all
      settlements made or judgments entered with respect to any Third-Party Claim
      the
      defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnitor. Except as provided in
      subsection (ii) below, both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee must approve
      any
      settlement of a Third-Party Claim. A failure by the Indemnitee to timely give
      the Claim Notice shall not excuse Indemnitor from any indemnification liability
      except only to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially and adversely
      prejudiced by such failure.

    (ii) If
      the
      Indemnitor shall not agree to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in
      writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has
      been
      delivered, or shall fail to continue such defense until the final resolution
      of
      such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnitee may defend against such Third-Party
      Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate and the Indemnitee may settle
      such Third-Party Claim, in its sole discretion, on such terms as it may deem
      appropriate. The Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the
      amount of all settlement payments and expenses, legal and otherwise, incurred
      by
      the Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such Third-Party
      Claim. If no settlement of such Third-Party Claim is made, then the Indemnitor
      shall satisfy any judgment rendered with respect to such Third-Party Claim
      before the Indemnitee is required to do so, and pay all expenses, legal or
      otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in the defense against such Third-Party
      Claim.

     

    (c) Non-Third-Party
      Claims.
      Upon
      discovery of any claim for which Buyers have an indemnification obligation
      under
      the terms of this Section 5 which does not involve a claim by a third party
      against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to Buyers of
      such claim and, in any case, shall give Buyers such notice within 30 days of
      such discovery. A failure by Indemnitee to timely give the foregoing notice
      to
      Buyers shall not excuse Buyers from any indemnification liability except to
      the
      extent that Buyers are materially and adversely prejudiced by such
      failure.

     

    (d) Release.
      Buyers,
      on behalf of themselves and their Related Parties, hereby release and forever
      discharge Seller and its individual, joint or mutual, past and present
      representatives, Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys,
      stockholders, controlling persons, subsidiaries, successors and assigns
      (individually, a “Releasee”
and
      collectively, “Releasees”)
      from
      any and all claims, demands, proceedings, causes of action, orders, obligations,
      contracts, agreements, debts and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or
      unknown, suspected or unsuspected, both at law and in equity, which Buyers
      or
      any of their Related Parties now have or have ever had against any Releasee.
      Buyers hereby irrevocably covenant to refrain from, directly or indirectly,
      asserting any claim or demand, or commencing, instituting or causing to be
      commenced, any proceeding of any kind against any Releasee, based upon any
      matter released hereby. “Related
      Parties”
shall
      mean, with respect to Buyers, (i) any Person that directly or indirectly
      controls, is directly or indirectly controlled by, or is directly or indirectly
      under common control with Buyers, (ii) any Person in which Buyers hold a
      Material Interest or (iii) any Person with respect to which any Buyer serves
      as
      a general partner or a trustee (or in a similar capacity). For purposes of
      this
      definition, “Material
      Interest”
shall
      mean direct or indirect beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under
      the
      Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of voting securities or other
      voting interests representing at least ten percent (10%) of the outstanding
      voting power of a Person or equity securities or other equity interests
      representing at least ten percent (10%) of the outstanding equity securities
      or
      equity interests in a Person.

      For
      the purposes of this Agreement, the term "Alpha" shall be defined to include

      the

      Quixotic,
      these goods
      were
      shipped to Clear Skies.

      of
further
      litigation,

      Skies. In such event, all payments previously received by Alpha from Quixotic
      and Clear Skies pursuant to paragraph 1 of this Agreement shall be credited
      against the principal amount of the Confession of Judgment in partial
      satisfaction thereof.

      shall hold the Confession of Judgment in trust until Quixotic and Clear Skies
      have paid the full settlement amount of $206,778.00, as described in Paragraph
      1, at which time Alpha shall destroy
      the
      judgment or, at
      Quixote's
      or Clear Skies' option, surrender the judgment to them.

     

    3. In
      consideration for the promises made herein, Quixotic and Clear Skies hereby
      release and forever discharge Alpha, and Alpha hereby releases and forever
      discharges Quixotic and Clear Skies, from any and all
      claims,
      liens,
      indebtedness, demands, grievances, charges, causes of action, obligations,
      damages or liabilities of any kind
      or
      nature whatsoever,
      arising
      out of
      or
      relating to the claims
      raised
      in the Lawsuit. This waiver includes, but is not limited to, claims for costs
      and attorneys' fees. This release does not extend to
      any
      other
      potential claims or liabilities
      aside from those arising from the invoices referenced in and attached to the
      Complaint filed in, the Lawsuit. This release shall also include a release
      of
      all claims by Quixotic and Clear Skies against Alpha.

     

    4. Alpha
      will dismiss the Lawsuit with prejudice and without award of costs or attorneys'
      fees to any party by directing its
      attorneys to file the appropriate pleading in the United States District Court
      for the Western
      District
      of Washington within
      seven
      (7) days after the execution of
      this
      Agreement and the Confession of Judgment by all parties.

      otherwise fall within the scope of the claims released pursuant to Paragraph
      3
      of this Agreement.

    

    6. Nothing
      in this Agreement shall be construed as an admission of any liability on the

      in
      the Lawsuit.

    

    7. The
      Parties

      Parties agree to notify one another
      of any legal

      government process sufficiently in advance of responding to such process so
      that
      the other party may, if it deems necessary, take steps to oppose such
      disclosure.

      Agreement

      or
      relating to,
      this
Agreement
      or the method and manner of the performance thereof or the

      to
      any other relief, a

    15. If
      any
      provision, or portion thereof, of this Agreement is held by

      Court
      of competent
      jurisdiction to be invalid under any applicable
      statute or rule of law, the Parties agree
      that

      the
      invalid provisions.

      Agreement may be executed in duplicate originals or counterparts. Each party
      shall receive copies of all executed signature pages so that all parties have
