    The
      following agreement is reached by the shareholders of E Energy Service GmbH
      during the course of the shareholders meeting on 12.01.2007

    

    

    1.

    

    We
      resolve to increase capital to € 1.000.000, 00 (in words: one million
      Euro)

    

    The
      new
      issued shares will be divided in such manner that following the increase,
      ENERTRAG will hold 75.1 % and Dewind Turbines Ltd. shares amount to 24.9
      %.

    

    The
      shareholders further conclude to provide the company with a cash injection
      of a
      further amount of € 4.000.000, 00 (in words: four million Euro). The
      shareholders will provide the company with these funds in a tax saving
      manner.

    

    The
      provision of the above mentioned cash injection of € 4.000.000, 00 (in words:
      four million Euro) will be executed proportionally to the shares held by
      ENERTRAG (75.1%) and DeWind (24.9%).

    

    

    2.

    

    Previous
      liabilities of DeWind/ EU Energy Wind Ltd to E Energy Service GmbH up until
      31.12.2006 will be reckoned up against the long term loan of DeWind
      GmbH.

    

    The
      sum
      of € 729.000,00 (in words: seven hundred twenty-nine thousand Euro) of the so
      called Term Sheet Agreement between EU Energy Ltd and ENERTRAG AG in accordance
      with fig. 1.1.1 of the mentioned Term Sheet Agreement will equally be deducted
      from the long term loan.

    

    

    The
      increase in capital / the provision of cash by DeWind Turbines Ltd. will be
      financed by a loan of ENERTRAG and secured by the following
      measures:

    

    
      	-  	
              The
                „Cuxhaven Prototype D8.1 Turbine“(hereinafter the “Cuxhaven turbine”),
                including all generated earnings, is to be transferred as security.
                

            

    

    

    
      	-  	
              The
                parties plan to enter into a licence contract for the D8. Should
                the
                parties enter into this European Licence contract for a D8.1/D8 before
                the
                arrival of funds from the Cuxhaven turbine, the security of the Cuxhaven
                turbine will be released. The down payment of the licence contract
                will be
                reckoned up against the settlement of the loan.

            

    

    

    
      	-  	
              Should
                the advanced financing loan of ENERTRAG not be returned by 31.03.2007,
                ENERTRAG will then realise the surety - here the prototype
                turbine.

            

    

     

    

    3.

    

    ENERTRAG
      will implement the necessary steps in order to ensure the regular conduct of
      business of E Energy Service GmbH.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    4.

    

    The
      directors have been instructed by the shareholders to continue service
      activities for DeWind immediately and to inform the customers of this with
      a
      positively formulated letter.

    

    

    5.

    

    DeWind
      agrees, as far as possible, to transfer the service contracts which exist
      between DeWind and its customers to the service company.

    

    

    6.

    

    It
      will
      be permitted for DeWind Turbines Ltd. to repurchase the company shares of 25.1
      %. For the repurchase of the above mentioned company shares, the value of the
      purchase price will be determined by the value ENERETRAG is prepared to pay
      for
      the remaining 24.9% company share. 

    

    7.

    

    The
      agreement is based on the individual decisions of the supervisory boards (panel)
      of the individual shareholders, as far as this is internally required for
      execution of the individual clauses. The shareholders commit themselves, to
      provide the decision of their panel at the soonest possible time, however no

    5.2. If
      FAAC
      asserts in good faith a claim (an “Indemnity
      Claim”)
      against the Members pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement,
      FAAC
      shall send written notice of such Indemnity Claim (an “Indemnity
      Claim Notice”)
      to the
      Escrow Agent and to the Members’ Representative. Such Indemnity Claim Notice
      shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such Indemnity Claim and

      Business Day following the Escrow Agent’s receipt of the Indemnity Claim Notice
      describing such Indemnity Claim, and if that Indemnity Claim cannot be settled
      through negotiation within twenty (20) days of receipt of the written objection,
      then the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 11.11 of the
      Membership Interest Purchase Agreement and Escrow Agent shall hold the funds
      subject to such dispute until a Final Determination is delivered with respect
      thereto.

     

    (c) If
      the
      Escrow Agent does not receive from the Members’ Representative a written
      objection to such Indemnity Claim Notice on or before the twentieth
      (20th)
      Business Day following the Escrow Agent’s receipt of the Indemnity Claim Notice
      describing such Indemnity Claim, then the Escrow Agent shall make a disbursement

      the
      extent that a Payment Request Form, Final Determination, or Indemnity Claim
      (made and not timely answered pursuant to Section 5.2(c) above) specifies a
      dollar amount (rather than a share amount) payable thereunder or in satisfaction
      thereof, the amount specified or claimed shall be satisfied by the delivery
      from
      the Escrow Property to FAAC or the Members’ Representative, as the case may be,
      of certificates for FAAC common stock equal in value to the amount specified
      or

        4

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

     

    6. Payments

    6.1. The
      Escrow Agent shall make no payments from the Escrow Property unless permitted

      amounts payable in FAAC common stock under this Agreement shall be payable

      Agent does not correspond with stock certificates then held by the Escrow Agent,
      the Escrow Agent shall deliver to FAAC one or more share certificates evidencing
      shares in excess of the number of FAAC common shares then deliverable with
      instructions to FAAC (i) to retain and cancel a specified number of shares
      (if
      shares are deliverable to FAAC hereunder) or issue to the Members’
Representative, or to whomever the Members’ Representative directs FAAC (if
      shares are deliverable to the Members’ Representative hereunder), a certificate
      or certificates for FAAC common shares in the amount deliverable by the Escrow
      Agent to FAAC or the Members’ Representative as applicable and (ii) to issue to
      the Escrow Agent a certificate for the residual balance, if any, of those FAAC
      common shares evidenced the share certificate(s) delivered by the Escrow Agent
      to FAAC.

     

    6.4. All
      interest and other income, if any, received from or earned on the Escrow
      Property net of distributions paid or to be paid pursuant to Section 7.3
      (“Earnings”) shall be applied first to pay any Escrow Fees then due under
      Section 13, with any remaining Earnings to become a part of the Escrow Property
      and be paid in accordance with the other terms of this Agreement. 

     

    6.5. The
      parties hereto (other than the Escrow Agent) each warrant to and agree with
      the
      Escrow Agent that, unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement,
      there

      Property; no financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of any
      jurisdiction is on file in any jurisdiction claiming a security interest in
      or
      describing, whether specifically or generally, the Escrow Property or any part
      of the Escrow Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein
      provided, the Escrow Agent shall in no event be deemed to be a collateral agent
      or agent for any pledge or purported pledge of property held under this
      Agreement. The Escrow Agent makes no representation concerning whether or not
      any security interest exists with respect to any property held under the terms
      of this Agreement and the Escrow Agent shall have no duty or obligation with

      interest, it being understood that the duties of the Escrow Agent with respect
      to any property held pursuant to this Agreement are limited and confined
      exclusively to the duties and responsibilities expressly set forth herein.
      This
      Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to be a security agreement or to
      grant a security interest in any property held in escrow hereunder.

    7. Tax
      Matters.

     

    7.1. The
      parties agree that the Escrow Property is intended to consist only of FAAC
      common shares and that no taxable income is anticipated. Notwithstanding the
      previous sentence, for tax reporting purposes in each calendar year (other
      than
      the calendar year in which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section
      14
      below), all interest or other income earned from the investment of the Escrow
      Property together with all fees and expenses pursuant to Section 13 below (or
      that may otherwise be taken into consideration for purposes of calculating
      and
      reporting taxes due on earnings with respect to the Escrow Account and Funds)
      shall be allocable to FAAC and so reported to the Internal Revenue Service
      and
      any other applicable taxing authority, except to the extent that any law or
      regulation should otherwise require, as provided in a written notice from FAAC
      to the Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
      for the calendar year during which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to
      Section 14 below, all income, fees and expenses shall be allocated pro rata
      to
      the persons receiving payments of the Escrow Property during that
      year.

     

    7.2. Each
      of
      the parties agrees to provide the Escrow Agent with a certified tax
      identification number by signing and returning a Form W-9 (or Form W-8, in
      the
      case of non-U.S. persons) to the Escrow Agent within 30 days from the date
      hereof. The parties understand that, in the event their tax identification
      numbers are not certified to the Escrow Agent, the Internal Revenue Code may
      require withholding of a portion of any interest or other income earned on
      the
      investment of the Escrow Property, in accordance with the Internal Revenue
      Code,
      as amended from time to time.

     

    7.3. The
      Escrow Agent shall distribute quarterly to FAAC amounts when and in the amounts
      requested in writing in good faith by FAAC to cover the potential federal,
      state
      or local tax obligations of FAAC on account of the cumulative allocation to
      FAAC
      of taxable income attributable to the interest and other income earned on the
      Escrow Property. Such distributions shall be requested and made with respect
      to
      each quarter as early as fifteen (15) days prior to the date that United States
      taxpayers are required to make estimated federal tax payments with respect
      to
      such quarter. For purposes of the foregoing, such federal, state and local
      tax
      obligations of FAAC initially shall be assumed to equal an effective combined
      federal and state income tax rate equal to forty-two percent (42%) (but in
      no
      event lower than the highest Federal marginal income tax rate plus seven percent
      (7%)).

     

    7.4. The
      Escrow Agent shall report to the Internal Revenue Service, as of each calendar
      year-end, all income earned from the Escrow Property, whether or not such income
      has been distributed during such year, as and to the extent required by law;
      and, the Escrow Agent shall prepare and file any tax returns required to be
      filed with respect to the Escrow Account.

     

    7.5. The
      persons to whom income is allocable for each year shall pay all taxes payable
      on
      income earned from the investment of the Escrow Property, whether or not the
      Escrow Agent distributed the income during any particular year.

     

    8. Escrow
      Agent’s Duties.
      

     

    8.1. The
      Escrow Agent’s duties are entirely ministerial and not discretionary, and the
      Escrow Agent will be under no duty or obligation to give any notice, or to
      do or
      to omit the doing of any action with respect to the Escrow Property, except
      to
      give notice, make disbursements and invest the Escrow Property in accordance
      with the terms of this Agreement.

    
       

      
        
           

        

        
          6

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

       

    

    8.2. The
      Escrow Agent will neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge
      of
      the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document among
      the other parties hereto, in connection herewith, including the Membership
      Interest Purchase Agreement, and will be required to act only pursuant to the
      terms and provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement sets forth all matters
      pertinent to the escrow contemplated hereunder, and no additional obligations
      of
      the Escrow Agent will be inferred from the terms of this Agreement, the
      Membership Interest Purchase Agreement or any other agreement.

     

    8.3. The
      Escrow Agent will not be liable for any error in judgment or any act or steps
      taken or permitted to be taken in good faith, or for any mistake of law or
      fact,
      or for anything it may do or refrain from doing in connection with this
      Agreement, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence. As to
      any
      legal questions arising in connection with the administration of this Agreement,
      the Escrow Agent may consult with and rely absolutely upon the opinions given
      to
      it by counsel (including internal counsel) and shall be free of liability for
      acting in reliance on such opinions. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be
      liable for incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages.
      

     

    8.4. The
      Escrow Agent will not be required in any way to determine the validity,
      genuineness, authenticity or sufficiency, whether in form or substance, of
      any
      instrument, document, certificate, statement or notice referred to in this
      Agreement or contemplated by this Agreement, or the identity or authority of
      the
      persons executing it, and it will be sufficient if any writing purporting to
      be
      such instrument, document, certificate, statement or notice is delivered to
      the
      Escrow Agent and purports to be correct in form and signed or otherwise executed
      by the party or parties required to sign or execute it under this Agreement.
      The
      Escrow Agent reserves the right, but shall in no way be obligated, to call
      upon
      the parties, or any of them, for written instructions before taking any actions
      hereunder.

     

    8.5. During
      the term of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not exercise on its own
      behalf any right of set-off against, or enforce any lien on, the Escrow
      Property, except such right or lien as may arise in connection with this
      Agreement.

     

    8.6. The
      parties to this Agreement agree to make modifications to this Section upon
      the
      reasonable request of the Escrow Agent.

     

    8.7. In
      the
      event of a shareholder vote, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to exercise
      all voting rights with respect to the FAAC common stock held by the Escrow
      Agent
      as part of the Escrow Property; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall
      have no discretion as to voting the shares of FAAC common stock except in a
      fashion that is in all respects proportional to the manner in which the FAAC
      common stock not held as part of the Escrowed Property is voted (as certified
      by
      FAAC’s Secretary). FAAC, Rosato, Gallagher and the Members’ Representative each
      hereby (i) instruct the Escrow Agent to vote all of the FAAC common shares
      held
      as Escrow Property in the manner described in this Section 8.7 and (ii) agree
      that the Escrow Agent shall have no liability with respect to voting the FAAC
      common stock held as Escrow Property in the manner described in this Section
      8.7. This Section 8.7 shall constitute an irrevocable proxy, coupled with an
      interest, with respect to any shares of FAAC common stock (or other FAAC
      securities) that Escrow Agent holds pursuant to this Agreement.

    9. Disputes.

     

    9.1. It
      is
      understood and agreed that should any dispute arise with respect to the payment
      and/or ownership or right of possession of the Escrow Property, or should the
      Escrow Agent be uncertain as to what action to take with respect to the Escrow
      Property, the Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to retain in its
      possession, without liability to anyone, all or any part of the Escrow Property
      until such dispute or uncertainty shall have been settled either by mutual
      agreement by the parties concerned (as evidenced by a written agreement among
      them) or by a Final Determination.

     

    9.2. If
      the
      Escrow Agent becomes involved in litigation by reason of this Agreement, or
      if
      the Escrow Agent reasonably believes, in its sole discretion, that it may become
      involved in litigation, the Escrow Agent is authorized to institute a bill
      of
      interpleader in a court in the Commonwealth of Virginia to determine the rights
      of the parties and to deposit the Escrow Property with the court in accordance
      with the Commonwealth of Virginia law. Upon deposit of the Escrow Property
      with
      the court, the Escrow Agent shall stand fully relieved and discharged of any
      further duties as Escrow Agent. The filing of any such legal proceedings shall
      not deprive the Escrow Agent of its compensation hereunder earned prior to
      such
      filing and discharge of the Escrow Agent of its duties hereunder.

     

    9.3. If
      a bill
      of interpleader is instituted, or if the Escrow Agent is threatened with
      litigation or becomes involved in litigation in any manner whichever on account
      of this Agreement or the Escrow Property, FAAC and the Members, jointly and
      severally, shall pay the Escrow Agent its reasonable attorneys’ fees and any
      other disbursements, expenses, losses, costs and damages incurred by the Escrow
      Agent in connection with or resulting from such threatened or actual litigation.
      All costs and expenses of such dispute will be charged to the non-prevailing
      party in such dispute, unless such non-prevailing party is a third party, in
      which case the Escrow Agent’s costs and expenses will be charged to and paid out
      of the Escrow Property, and to the extent the Escrow Property are insufficient,
      will be charged equally to FAAC and the Members.

     

    9.4. In
      the
      event that the Escrow Agent proposes to disburse to the Members any portion
      of
      the Escrow Property, the disbursement of which the Escrow Agent had previously
      withheld pursuant to this Section, the Escrow Agent shall disburse such amount
      to the Member’s Representative.

     

    10. Indemnity.
      FAAC
      and the Members jointly and severally agree to hold the Escrow Agent harmless
      and to indemnify the Escrow Agent against any loss, liability, expenses
      (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses), claim, or demand arising
      out of or in connection with the performance of its obligations in accordance
      with the provisions of this Agreement, except for willful misconduct or gross
      negligence of the Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
      to
      the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to set-off against the Escrow
      Property and apply such set-off to payment of such fees and disbursements and
      other liabilities and obligations hereunder. Upon the written request of the
      Escrow Agent, FAAC and the Members jointly and severally agree to assume the
      investigation and defense of any such claim, including the employment of counsel
      acceptable to the Escrow Agent and the payment of all expenses related thereto
      and, notwithstanding any such assumption, the Escrow Agent shall have the right,
      and FAAC and the Members jointly and severally agree to pay the cost and expense
      thereof, to employ separate counsel with respect to any such claim and
      participate in the investigation and defense thereof in the event that the
      Escrow Agent shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more
      legal defenses available to the Escrow Agent which are different from or in
      addition to those available to FAAC or the Members. FAAC and the Members agree
      that all references in this Section to the Escrow Agent shall be deemed to
      include references to its directors, officers, employees and agents. The
      foregoing indemnities in this paragraph shall survive the resignation or removal
      of the Escrow Agent or the termination of this Agreement.

    11. Investment.

     

    11.1. As
      used
      in this Section, “Eligible
      Investments”
include
      one or more of the following obligations or securities, but only to the extent
      that such obligations or securities mature within thirty (30) calendar days
      or
      such longer time as the Members’ Representative and FAAC shall determine, such
      longer maturities not to exceed eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date:
      (a)
      direct obligations of, or obligations fully guaranteed by, the United States
      of
      America or any agency thereof, and (b) money market funds investing primarily
      in
      the obligations or securities listed in clause (a) above or repurchase
      agreements fully collateralized by direct obligations of the United States
      of
      America. 

     

    11.2. The
      Escrow Agent will invest the Escrow Property in such Eligible Investments as
      the
      Members’ Representative and FAAC, from time to time, shall jointly instruct the
      Escrow Agent in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the
      FAAC common stock held as part of the Escrow Property be invested. Earnings
      upon
      Eligible Investments shall be deemed part of the Escrow Property, shall be
      deposited in the Escrow Account and shall be disbursed in accordance with the
      terms of this Agreement. Any loss or expense incurred from an Eligible
      Investment shall be borne by the Escrow Property. The Escrow Agent shall have
      no
      responsibility or liability for any diminution which may result from any
      investments or reinvestments made in accordance with this
      Agreement.

     

    11.3. The
      parties acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Agent will not provide
      supervision, recommendations or advice relative to either the investment of
      the
      Escrow Property or the purchase, sale, retention or other disposition of any
      Eligible Investment.

     

    11.4. The
      Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to execute purchases and sales of Eligible
      Investments through its own trading or capital markets operations. The Escrow
      Agent shall send statements to FAAC and the Members’ Representative reflecting
      activity for the Escrow Account for the preceding quarter within fifteen (15)
      days after the last day of each calendar quarter. Although the parties
      acknowledge that they may obtain a broker confirmation or written statement
      containing comparable information at no additional cost, each party hereby
      agrees that confirmations of Eligible Investments are not required to be issued
      by the Escrow Agent for each period in which a statement is
      provided.

    12. Resignation.

     

    12.1. The
      Escrow Agent may resign upon thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to
      the Members’ Representative and FAAC, and, upon joint instructions from the
      Members’ Representative and FAAC, will deliver the Escrow Property to any
      designated substitute Escrow Agent selected by the Members’ Representative and
      FAAC. If the Members’ Representative and FAAC fail to designate a substitute
      Escrow Agent within 15 calendar days after receipt of such notice, the Escrow
      Agent may, at its sole discretion, institute a bill of interpleader as
      contemplated by Section 9 above for the purpose of having an appropriate court
      designate a substitute Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall have no
      responsibility for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent hereunder.

     

    12.2. Any
      company into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which
      it
      may be consolidated, or any company resulting from any merger, conversion or
      consolidation to which it shall be a party, or any company to which the Escrow
      Agent may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust
      business shall be the successor to the Escrow Agent without the execution or
      filing of any paper or the performance of any further act, notwithstanding
      anything herein to the contrary.

     

    13. Compensation.
      FAAC
      and Members agree that the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent, including
      any
      investment fees and other investment-related charges, for services rendered,
      including the basic fees set forth in Exhibit
      4
      attached
      hereto, shall be paid out of the Earnings; provided,
      however,
      that if
      the Earnings are less than the fees then due, then the balance of the fees
      due
      to the Escrow Agent shall be paid equally by the Members and FAAC. Upon any
      withdrawal from the Escrow Property to pay such fees and expenses, the Escrow
      Agent shall provide written notification of such withdrawal to FAAC and the
      Members' Representative, detailing such fees and expenses. The Escrow Agent
      shall have, and is hereby granted, a prior lien upon any property, cash, or
      assets hereunder, with respect to its unpaid fees and nonreimbursed expenses,
      superior to the interests of any other person.

     

    14. Termination.
      Upon
      delivery of all amounts constituting the Escrow Property as provided in Sections
      5 and 7 and the resolution of all disputes, if any, covered by Section 9, this
      Agreement shall terminate except for the provisions of Section 9 (with respect
      to payment of the Escrow Agent’s expenses), Section 10 and Section
      13.

     

    15. Notices.
      

     

    15.1. All
      necessary notices, demands and requests required or permitted to be given
