MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT

        THIS MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as of the 31st day of December, 2002, by and among ENRG, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser"), and the holders of all of the outstanding membership interests in Blue Energy & Technologies, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the "Company") listed on Exhibit A hereto (the "Sellers").

        WHEREAS, Purchaser and the Company are each engaged in the business of designing, building and operating compressed natural gas fueling stations for fleet vehicle operators and others;

        WHEREAS, Sellers have agreed to sell to Purchaser all of the outstanding membership interests of the Company held by the Sellers (the "Interests"), and Purchaser has agreed to purchase the Interests, in each case in the manner and upon the terms and conditions stated herein; and

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein and such other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:


ARTICLE I
Purchase of Shares

        1.1    Purchase and Sale of Interests.    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing and on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2.2 below) (i) Sellers shall sell, transfer and assign all the Interests to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase all the Interests from Sellers, in each case on the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement.


ARTICLE II
Purchase Price and Closing

        2.1    Purchase Price.    

            (a)    Issuance of Shares to Sellers.    At the Closing, Sellers shall receive in the aggregate 3,740,614 shares of Common Stock of Purchaser to be issued to the Sellers in the amounts as set forth on Exhibit A.

            (b)    Issuance of Warrant A to Perseus.    At the Closing, Purchaser shall issue to Perseus 2000, L.L.C. ("Perseus") the Perseus Warrant A to purchase Common Shares of ENRG, Inc., in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

            (c)    Issuance of Warrant B to Perseus.    At the Closing, Purchaser shall issue Perseus the Perseus Warrant B to purchase Common Shares of ENRG, Inc., in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

            (d)    Adjustment.    Promptly after the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Company to calculate its Adjusted Working Capital as of the Closing Date and shall deliver to Perseus a copy, of that calculation (the "WC Statement"). As used herein "Adjusted Working Capital" means the difference between (x) the current assets of the Company on a consolidated basis minus (y) the current liabilities of the Company on a consolidated basis, both as of the Closing Date and both computed in accordance with GAAP as historically applied by the Company, except that (i) all obligations owed by the Company under the note payable to TXU shall be specifically excluded from the Adjusted Working Capital calculation and (ii) all severance obligations owed by the Company to Paul Nelson shall be treated as a current liability of the Company. Purchaser shall grant Perseus and its accountants and advisors full access to the books, records and personnel of

1



    the Company for the purpose verifying such calculation. The Adjusted Working Capital set forth in the WC Statement shall be deemed accepted by the Sellers upon the earliest of (i) notification in writing by Perseus to Purchaser of such acceptance, (ii) the twentieth Business Day after the delivery to Perseus of the WC Statement if Perseus has not delivered to Purchaser a Dispute Notice as provided below, or (iii) the date of the final resolution of all disputes reflected in any such Dispute Notice. In the event that Perseus disputes the calculation of Adjusted Working Capital set forth in the WC Statement, as a whole or in part, Perseus shall notify Purchaser in writing (a "Dispute Notice") on or before the twentieth Business Day after the date the WC Statement is delivered to Perseus. The Dispute Notice shall contain a description of each disputed item, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for and amount of such dispute. In the event of such a dispute, Purchaser arid Perseus shall in good faith attempt to reconcile their differences, and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties. If Purchaser and Perseus are unable to resolve any such dispute within twenty Business Days after receipt by Purchaser of a Dispute Notice, Purchaser and Perseus shall submit the remaining disputed items to a nationally recognized firm of public accountants selected jointly by the outside public accounting firms for Purchaser and Perseus (any such accounting firm being referred to herein as the "Accounting Firm"). Purchaser and Perseus shall submit their positions on the amounts in dispute to the Accounting Firm within ten calendar days of its selection, and the Accounting Firm shall, within thirty calendar days after such submission, determine and report to Purchaser and Perseus its resolution of the remaining disputed items. The calculations and related determinations of the Accounting Firm and the Adjusted Working Capital reflecting such calculations and determinations shall be final and binding upon the parties. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid by the Company. In the event the Adjusted Working Capital as of the Closing Date, determined as provided herein, is less than $250,000, the number of shares of Common Stock of Purchaser issuable pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof shall be reduced at rate of one share for each $2.96 of the amount by which $250,000 exceeds such Adjusted Working Capital. The reduction in such shares shall be applied among the Sellers in the same proportion as the number of shares they received under Section 2.1(a) hereof bear to each other. Any such reduced shares shall be cancelled upon the determination of the final Adjusted Working Capital, the Sellers agree to return to Purchaser the certificates representing their shares of Purchaser Common Stock and Purchaser shall promptly issue new certificates to the Sellers reflecting such reduction.

        2.2    Closing    The closing of the sale and purchase of the Interests (the "Closing") pursuant to this Agreement shall take place at the offices of Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP located at 333 South Hope Street, Suite 4800, Los Angeles, California 90071 at 10:00 a.m. local time on December 31, 2002 (the "Closing Date"), or at such other time and place as the parties may agree. No action taken or delivery made at the Closing shall be effective until all actions taken and deliveries made at the Closing re completed (the "Effective Time").

        2.3    Deliveries at Closing    At the Closing:

            (a)    Deliveries by Sellers.    At Closing, Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser:

                (i)  assignments by each Seller of such Seller's Interests to Purchaser duly executed by such Seller, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser (the "Assignments");

               (ii)  a release of all existing security interests of record in the assets of the Company and the Blue Energy Entities (as defined below) other than the Permitted Encumbrances listed in Schedule 3.1(1) hereto; and

              (iii)  all other books, records, documents, instruments and writings required by this Agreement to be delivered by Sellers to Purchaser at or prior to Closing.

               (ii)  to Perseus, Perseus Warrant A;

              (iii)  to Perseus, Perseus Warrant B, provided, however, that until such time as the Blue Energy Loan is established (subject to compliance with commercially reasonable covenants and restrictions, including without limitation restrictions limiting such borrowings to a percentage of acceptable accounts receivable), Purchaser shall retain possession of the Perseus B Warrant and the Perseus B Warrant shall not be exercisable by Perseus; and

Regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated, such confidence shall be maintained and such information shall not be used in competition with Purchaser and all such documents shall immediately after the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement, as the case may be, be returned to Purchaser.

            (c)    Covenant Not to Compete.    

                (i)  As used in this covenant, the term Perseus shall include Perseus, L.L.C. and its affiliated private equity investment funds.

    in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall not release or disclose such information to any other person, except as required by law, and except to Purchaser's accountants, attorneys, agents, advisors and employees in connection with this Agreement with the same undertaking from such accountants, attorneys, financial advisors and employees. If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not be consummated, such confidence shall be maintained and such information shall not be used in competition with the Company, and all such documents shall immediately after termination of this Agreement be returned to the Company and the Sellers, as may be appropriate.

        4.3    Certain Tax Covenants    Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge that the acquisition of the Interests pursuant hereto is a taxable disposition within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and that, pursuant to Internal Revenue Service Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 CB 432 (Situation 2), the purchase of the Interests pursuant hereto for federal and state income tax purposes will be treated (i) as a sale of the Interests with respect to Sellers and (ii) with respect to Purchaser, as (A) a purchase by Purchaser of all the assets of each Blue Energy Entity and assumption by Purchaser of all the liabilities of each Blue Energy Entity, other than any liabilities for which the Purchaser is required to be indemnified in accordance with this Agreement, and (B) a purchase by Purchaser of all the assets of the Company and assumption by Purchaser of all the liabilities of the Company other than any liabilities for which the Purchaser is required to be indemnified in accordance with this Agreement, not including any assets and liabilities described in the immediately preceding clause (A). The consideration for the assets so considered to have been purchased by Purchaser (the "Assets"), as determined for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.1060-1(c) (the "Tax Purchase Price"), shall be allocated as provided in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1060-1(c) and this Section 4.3. For purposes of determining the Tax Purchase Price, the parties agree that the fair market value of the Common Stock of Purchaser to be issued pursuant to Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement is $2.96 per share as of Closing and that the fair market values of the warrants to be issued pursuant to Section 2.1(b) and Section 2.1(c) are $2.96 per share and $5.00 per share, respectively. References in this Section 43 to a "Class" of Assets refers to the designated "Class" as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.338-6(b). Purchaser and Sellers shall execute and file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with any valuations and allocations determined pursuant to this Section 4.3 and shall not take any position before any governmental authority or in any judicial proceeding that is inconsistent with any such valuation or allocation, except (i) pursuant to a final "determination" (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code) or (ii) in accordance with a written opinion of legal counsel to the effect that failing to take such consistent position would more likely than not subject Purchaser or Sellers, as the case may be, to Tax penalties. Purchaser and Sellers shall timely file any Form 8594 and any other form required to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local Tax authority in accordance with the requirements of Section 1060 of the Code and corresponding provisions of state and local law and that are prepared consistent with the allocations determined pursuant to this Section 4.3. Any redetermination of the Tax Purchase Price within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.338-7 shall be made as required thereby and shall be taken into account by Purchaser and Sellers in carrying out the provisions of this Section 4.3 and the preparation and filing of Internal Revenue Service Forms 8594 and corresponding state and local Tax Returns. In the event that the allocation of the Tax Purchase Price has not been fully agreed upon in accordance with this Section 4.3 by the time the relevant income Tax Returns of Purchaser, Sellers or the Company are required to be filed (taking available extensions of time into account), then to the extent not so determined, Purchaser, Sellers and the Company shall each file its Tax Returns based on its good faith determination; and if any subsequent agreement with respect to the allocation pursuant

32


to Section 4.3 varies from the manner in which Purchaser or any of the Sellers prepared such Tax Returns, then it shall file an amendment of such Tax Returns in order to make the Tax Return as so filed consistent with the allocation of the Tax Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to this Section 4.3.

            (a)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Purchaser and Sellers shall not be required to agree on an allocation of the Tax Purchase Price except as expressly set forth in this Section 4.3, but Purchaser and Sellers shall make reasonable efforts in good faith after the Closing to attempt to agree on such allocation consistent with the following principles. The Tax Purchase Price shall be allocated to Class I Assets (cash and certain cash equivalents) to the extent thereof and thereafter Tax Purchase Price first shall be allocated as follows:

                (i)  First, Tax Purchase Price shall be allocated to any Assets that are Class II assets (i.e., actively traded personal property within the meaning of Code Section 1 092(d)(1) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.1092(d)-i, determined without regard to Code Section 1092(d)(3), and certificates of deposit and foreign currency even if they are not such actively traded personal property) in proportion to and to the extent of their fair market values as of the Closing Date, which Purchaser and Sellers agree shall be the face amounts of any certificates of deposit, the face amount multiplied by the exchange rate for foreign currency as reported in the Wall Street Journal, and the closing prices for other Class II Assets on such exchange or trading system as Purchaser and Sellers may select by mutual agreement or as determined in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section 4.3;

               (ii)  Second, any remaining Tax Purchase Price shall be allocated to Assets that are Class III assets (i.e., accounts receivable) in proportion to and to the extent of their fair market values as of the Closing Date;

              (iii)  Third, any remaining Tax Purchase Price shall be allocated in proportion to and to the extent of their fair market values as of the Closing Date to Assets that are Class IV assets (i.e., stock in trade or other property of a kind that would properly be included in inventory if on hand at the close of a taxable year, or property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of trade or business), as determined pursuant to a methodology permitted under Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 77-12, 1977-i CB 569;

              (iv)  Fourth, any remaining Tax Purchase Price shall be allocated to Assets that are Class V assets (all assets other than Class I, II, III, IV, VI, and VII assets) in proportion to and to the extent of their fair market values as of the Closing Date;

               (v)  Fifth, any remaining Tax Purchase Price shall be allocated to Assets that are Class VI assets (section 197 intangibles, as defined in Code Section 197, except goodwill and going concern value) in proportion to and to the extent of their fair market values as of the Closing Date; and

              (vi)  Finally, any remaining Tax Purchase Price shall be allocated to Class VII assets (i.e., goodwill and going concern value).

            (b)   Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge that on the Closing Date, the Company shall terminate under Section 708(b)(1)(A) of the Code as a partnership for federal income Tax purposes. Sellers shall retain all authority and responsibility for (i) filing all income Tax Returns of or relating to the Company to the extent that such Tax Returns relate solely to periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and (ii) acting on behalf of the Company or its members in connection with any audit, assessment, inquiry or related action by any taxing authority relating to any such Tax Returns or the periods or events covered thereby. Purchaser agrees to cooperate reasonably with Sellers to give effect to the foregoing provisions, including without limitation by providing any necessary or appropriate powers of attorney to Sellers or their designee.

The indemnification by each Seller shall be a separate obligation of each Seller relating to misrepresentations, breaches and non-fulfillment of such Seller's warranties, covenants and agreements, and no Seller shall have any liability or obligation to indemnify Purchaser with respect to any misrepresentation, breach or non-fulfillment by any other Seller of the warranties, covenants or agreements of such other Seller.

For the purpose of this Section 6.1, "Loss" means any and all loss, injury or damage incurred by Purchaser in connection with any and all actions, suits, proceedings, hearings, investigations, charges, complaints, claims, demands, injunctions, judgments, orders, decrees, rulings, damages, dues, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, liabilities, obligations, taxes, liens, losses, expenses and fees (and including court costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses incident to any of the foregoing).

        6.3    Procedures for Indemnification    Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, subject to the limitations imposed by Sections 6.1 and 6.2 and 8.1, promptly after receipt by an indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of this Article VI of notice of the commencement of any action, claim or proceeding involving the subject matter of the foregoing indemnity provisions, such indemnified party shall, if a claim thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions of this Article VI, promptly notify such indemnifying party of the commencement thereof but the omission to so notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the indemnified party otherwise than hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, such omission shall have materially adversely affected the indemnifying party's ability to defend such action, claim or proceeding. In case such action, claim or proceeding is brought against an indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense or conduct thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based upon a written opinion of legal counsel, that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or if there is a conflict of interest which would prevent counsel for the indemnifying party from also representing the indemnified party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed counsel in accordance with the proviso of the preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a

36



reasonable time after the notice of the commencement of the action, or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. In the event the proceeding is a tax audit, the indemnified party shall not take any action, including, without limitation, the extension of any applicable limitations period, without the express written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

        THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON ITS EXERCISE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS (i) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, SHALL HAVE BECOME EFFECTIVE WITH RESPECT THERETO AND ALL APPLICABLE QUALIFICATIONS UNDER STATE SECURITIES LAWS SHALL HAVE BEEN OBTAINED WITH RESPECT THERETO; OR (ii) A WRITTEN OPINION FROM COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER HAS BEEN OBTAINED STATING THAT NO SUCH REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION IS REQUIRED.


PERSEUS WARRANT A TO PURCHASE COMMON SHARES
OF ENRG, INC.

        For good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, ENRG, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby grants to Perseus 2000, L.L.C., a                        limited liability company, its successors and assigns (collectively, "Holder"), an irrevocable warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase, subject to the terms hereof, up to 1,689,189 fully paid and nonassessable common shares, $.0001 par value per share, of the Company (the "Shares"), adjusted as set forth below, at the Warrant Price, as defined below, at any time beginning on the date hereof and ending on February 15, 2004 (the "Exercise Period").

        1.    Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.    This Warrant may be exercised by Holder, in whole or in part, and on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Company at any time within the Exercise Period and by payment to the Company by wire transfer (in accordance with the wire transfer instructions attached hereto as Exhibit A) of the aggregate Warrant Price for the number of Shares designated by Holder (but not more than the number of Shares for which this Warrant then remains subject and unexercised), provided, however, that any such exercise shall be (a) ratable with the exercise of the Warrant to Purchase Common Shares of ENRG, Inc., a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" (the "Initial Warrant"), by BC Gas, Inc., Boone Pickens, Pickens Grandchildren's Trust U/D/T 11/30/99, Westport Innovations, Inc. and Alan P. Basham (the "Initial Warrant Holders") and (b) shall be conditioned upon and subject to a call by the Board of Directors of the Company, in the Directors' sole discretion (a "Board Call"), as to the date of exercise and the number of Shares that may be purchased by Holder upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company agrees that the Shares so purchased will be deemed to have been issued to Holder, as the record owner of such Shares, as of the close of business on the closing date specified in the Board Call, provided that notice is received and payment made as aforesaid. Certificates for the Shares so purchased will be delivered to Holder within a reasonable time, not exceeding fifteen (15) business days, after this Warrant has been exercised, and, unless this Warrant has expired, it will continue in effect with respect to the number of Shares, if any, as to which it has not then been exercised and which remain covered by this Warrant as herein provided. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant, or in the Initial Warrant, in the event that Holder receives a Board Call to exercise this Warrant, Holder shall exercise this Warrant as provided in the Board Call. Holder shall not have the right to elect not to exercise this Warrant in the event of a Board Call.

        2.    Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares.    The Company covenants and agrees as follows:

            2.1    All Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

1


            2.2    During the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance or transfer upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of Shares to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.

            2.3    The Company will take all actions necessary to assure that the Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange upon which the shares of the Company may then be listed.

            2.4    The Company will not take any action that would result in an adjustment of the Warrant Price if the total number of Shares issuable after such action upon exercise of this Warrant, together with all Shares then outstanding and all Shares then issuable upon exercise of all rights, options or warrants (other than this Warrant) and upon conversion of all securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock of the Company, would exceed the total number of Shares then authorized by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation.

        3.    Warrant Price.    

            3.1    Initial Warrant Price; Subsequent Adjustment of Price and Number of Purchasable Shares.    The initial Warrant Price ("Initial Warrant Price") will be Two Dollars and Ninety-Six cents ($2.96) per Share, and will be adjusted from time to time as provided below. The Initial Warrant Price or, if such price has been adjusted, the price per Share as last adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof, is referred to as the "Warrant Price" herein. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, Holder will thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of Shares obtained by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately before such adjustment by the number of Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant immediately before such adjustment and dividing the product by the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment.

            3.2    Liquidating Dividends.    The Company will not declare a dividend upon the Shares or other securities of the Company that Holder would be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant payable otherwise than out of consolidated earnings or consolidated earned surplus, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including the making of appropriate deductions for minority interests, if any, in subsidiaries, and otherwise in Shares, or other securities of the Company that Holder would be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, unless Holder has consented to such dividend in writing. In the event the Company declares such a dividend with such consent, the Company will pay Holder, on the dividend payment date, as the case may be, Shares or other securities and other property which Holder would have received if Holder had exercised this Warrant in full and had been the record holder of such securities on the record date for such dividend, or, if a record is not taken, the date as of which Holders of such securities of record entitled to such dividend are determined. For the purposes of the foregoing, a dividend other than in cash will be considered payable out of earnings or surplus (other than revaluation or paid-in surplus) only to the extent that such earnings or surplus are charged an amount equal to the fair value of such dividend as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

            3.3    Subdivision or Combination of Shares.    If the Company at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, into a different number of securities of the same class, the Warrant Price for such securities shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.

            3.4    Reclassification.    If the Company, at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, by reclassification of securities or otherwise shall change any

2



    of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change and the Warrant Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted.

            3.5    Adjustments for Dividends in Stock or Other Securities or Property.    If while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired Holders of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist at the time shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company by way of dividend, then and in each case, this Warrant shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company that Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been Holder of record of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional securities available to it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period.

            3.6    Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.    If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Shares of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation or entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to another corporation will be effected in such a way that Holders of Shares will be entitled to receive Shares, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Shares, then, upon exercise of this Warrant, Holder will thereafter have the right to receive such Shares, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding Shares equal to the number of Shares immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. If a purchase, tender or exchange offer is made to and accepted by Holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Shares of the Company, the Company will not effect any consolidation, merger or sale with the Person, as defined below, making such offer or with any Affiliate, as defined below, of such Person, unless, before the consummation of such consolidation, merger or sale, Holder of this Warrant is given at least ten (10) business days notice prior to the scheduled closing date (the "Closing Date") of such transaction (which notice shall specify the material terms of such transaction and the proposed Closing Date). In the event Holder elects to exercise this Warrant or any portion thereof following such notice and such consolidation, merger or sale is not consummated within ten (10) days of the proposed Closing Date (or any subsequent proposed Closing Date), then Holder may rescind its exercise of this Warrant by providing written notice thereof to the Company, the Company shall take all actions consistent therewith (including without limitation the immediate return of the Warrant Price paid with respect to such rescinded exercise) and this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect. As used in this paragraph, the term "Person" includes an individual, a partnership, a corporation, a trust, a joint venture, a limited liability company, an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency thereof, and an "Affiliate" of a Person means any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with, such other Person. A Person will be deemed to control a corporation or other business entity if such Person possesses, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such corporation, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

        7.    No Participating Preferred Shares.    So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company will not issue any Shares of any class preferred as to dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, unless the rights of Holders thereof will be limited to a fixed sum or percentage of par value in respect of participation in dividends and in the distribution of such assets.

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON ITS EXERCISE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS (i) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, SHALL HAVE BECOME EFFECTIVE WITH RESPECT THERETO AND ALL APPLICABLE QUALIFICATIONS UNDER STATE SECURITIES LAWS SHALL HAVE BEEN OBTAINED WITH RESPECT THERETO; OR (ii) A WRITTEN OPINION FROM COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER HAS BEEN OBTAINED STATING THAT NO SUCH REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION IS REQUIRED.


PERSEUS WARRANT B TO PURCHASE COMMON SHARES OF

ENRG, INC.

        For good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, ENRG, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby grants to Perseus 2000, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, its successors and assigns (collectively, "Holder"), an irrevocable warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase, subject to the terms hereof, up to 580,107 fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.0001 par value per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"), adjusted as set forth below (the "Shares") at the Warrant Price, as defined below, at any time beginning on the date thirty-six (36) months following the date of this Warrant and ending on the date sixty (60) months from the date of this Warrant (the "Exercise Period").

        1.    Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.    

        1.1    This Warrant may be exercised by Holder, in whole or in part, and on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Company at any time within the Exercise Period and by payment to the Company of the aggregate Warrant Price for the number of Shares designated by Holder (but not more than the number of Shares for which this Warrant then remains subject and unexercised), by (i) wire transfer (in accordance with wire transfer instructions to be provided to Holder upon request to the Company), (ii) by delivery of shares of the Company's Common Stock already owned by, and in the possession of Holder, valued at their Fair Market Value, or (iii) through a "cashless exercise," by simultaneously exercising this Warrant and selling the Shares thereby acquired pursuant to a brokerage or similar arrangement, approved in advance by the Board of Directors, and using the proceeds from such sale as payment of part or all of the exercise price of the Shares, in compliance with applicable law (including, without limitation, state and federal margin requirements), or any combination thereof; provided, however, that such payment of the exercise price shall not cause the Company to recognize compensation expense for financial reporting purposes (as determined by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company in his sole discretion). Shares of Common Stock used to satisfy the exercise price of this Warrant shall be valued at their Fair Market Value determined on the date of exercise (or if such date is not a business day, as of the close of business or the immediately preceding business day).

        As used herein, "Fair Market Value" shall mean, as of any date, the value of the Company's Common Stock determined as follows:

              (i)  If the Common Stock is listed on any established stock exchange or a national market system, including without limitation, the Nasdaq National Market or The Nasdaq SmallCap Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market, its Fair Market Value shall be the closing sales price for such stock (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported) as quoted on such exchange or system for the last market trading day prior to the time of determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Company's Board of Directors deems reliable;

1


             (ii)  If the Common Stock is regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported, its Fair Market Value shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices for the Common Stock quoted by such recognized securities dealer on the last market trading day prior to the day of determination; or

            (iii)  In the absence of an established market for the Common Stock, its Fair Market Value shall be determined, in good faith, by the Company's Board of Directors.

For purposes of (iii) above, the Company's Board of Directors may, but is not required to, engage an outside valuation firm to help it determine the Fair Market Value of a Share, and such firm may use such valuation method(s) as are standard in its profession to value non-public companies.

        The Company agrees that the Shares so purchased will be deemed to have been issued to Holder, as the record owner of such Shares, as of the close of business on the date of exercise, provided that notice is received and payment made as aforesaid. Certificates for the Shares so purchased will be delivered to Holder within a reasonable time, not exceeding fifteen (15) business days, after this Warrant has been exercised, and, unless this Warrant has expired, it will continue in effect with respect to the number of Shares, if any, as to which it has not then been exercised and which remain covered by this Warrant as herein provided.

        1.2    Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, this Warrant, to the extent not theretofore exercised, shall be fully exercisable by Holder on the date that immediately precedes the date of (a) the effective date of a firm underwritten public offering of the common stock of the Company (an "IPO") for aggregate proceeds to the Company in excess of $10 million or (b) a Change in Control. The Company shall notify Holder at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of an IPO or a Change in Control, so that Holder can decide whether to exercise the Warrant on the date that immediately precedes the date of the IPO or Change in Control, as the case may be. Effective as of the date of the Change in Control, this Warrant, to the extent not exercised, shall be cancelled.

        1.3    As used herein, the term "Change in Control" shall mean: (i) the acquisition by any entity, person, or group (other than the Company, or of its parent or any of its subsidiaries, or an employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or of its parent or any of its subsidiaries) of beneficial ownership of 80% or more of the outstanding voting stock (other than preferred stock) of the Company; (ii) the occurrence of a transaction requiring stockholder approval for the acquisition of the Company by the purchase of stock or assets, or by merger, or otherwise; or (iii) the election during any period of twenty-four (24) months or less of 80% or more of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") without the approval of the nomination of such members by a majority of the Board consisting of members who were serving at the beginning of such period.

        2.    Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares.    The Company covenants and agrees as follows:

        2.1    All Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

        2.2    During the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance or transfer upon exercise of this Warrant a sufficient number of Shares to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.

        2.3    The Company will take all actions necessary to assure that the Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange upon which the shares of the Company may then be listed.

        2.4    The Company will not take any action that would result in an adjustment of the Warrant Price if the total number of Shares issuable after such action upon exercise of this Warrant, together with all Shares then outstanding and all Shares then issuable upon exercise of all rights, options or

2



warrants (other than this Warrant) and upon conversion of all securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock of the Company, would exceed the total number of Shares then authorized by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation.

        3.    Warrant Price.    

        3.1    Initial Warrant Price; Subsequent Adjustment of Price and Number of Purchasable Shares.    The initial Warrant Price ("Initial Warrant Price") will be Five Dollars ($5.00) per Share, and will be adjusted from time to time as provided below. The Initial Warrant Price or, if such price has been adjusted, the price per Share as last adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof, is referred to as the "Warrant Price" herein. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, Holder will thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of Shares obtained by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately before such adjustment by the number of Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant immediately before such adjustment and dividing the product by the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment.

        3.2    Liquidating Dividends.    The Company will not declare a dividend upon the Shares or other securities of the Company that Holder would be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant payable otherwise than out of consolidated earnings or consolidated earned surplus, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including the making of appropriate deductions for minority interests, if any, in subsidiaries, and otherwise in Shares, or other securities of the Company that Holder would be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, unless Holder has consented to such dividend in writing. In the event the Company declares such a dividend with such consent, the Company will pay Holder, on the dividend payment date, as the case may be, Shares or other securities and other property which Holder would have received if Holder had exercised this Warrant in full and had been the record holder of such securities on the record date for such dividend, or, if a record is not taken, the date as of which Holders of such securities of record entitled to such dividend are determined. For the purposes of the foregoing, a dividend other than in cash will be considered payable out of earnings or surplus (other than revaluation or paid-in surplus) only to the extent that such earnings or surplus are charged an amount equal to the fair value of such dividend as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

        3.3    Subdivision or Combination of Shares.    If the Company at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, into a different number of securities of the same class, the Warrant Price for such securities shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.

        3.4    Reclassification.    If the Company, at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, by reclassification of securities or otherwise shall change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change and the Warrant Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted.

        3.5    Adjustments for Dividends in Stock or Other Securities or Property.    If while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired Holders of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist at the time shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company by way of dividend, then and in each case, this Warrant shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock

3



or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company that Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been Holder of record of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional securities available to it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period.

        3.6    Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.    If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Shares of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation or entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to another corporation will be effected in such a way that Holders of Shares will be entitled to receive Shares, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Shares, then, upon exercise of this Warrant, Holder will thereafter have the right to receive such Shares, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding Shares equal to the number of Shares immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. If a purchase, tender or exchange offer is made to and accepted by Holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Shares of the Company, the Company will not effect any consolidation, merger or sale with the Person, as defined below, making such offer or with any Affiliate, as defined below, of such Person, unless, before the consummation of such consolidation, merger or sale, Holder of this Warrant is given at least ten (10) business days notice prior to the scheduled closing date (the "Closing Date") of such transaction (which notice shall specify the material terms of such transaction and the proposed Closing Date). In the event Holder elects to exercise this Warrant or any portion thereof following such notice and such consolidation, merger or sale is not consummated within ten (10) days of the proposed Closing Date (or any subsequent proposed Closing Date), then Holder may rescind its exercise of this Warrant by providing written notice thereof to the Company, the Company shall take all actions consistent therewith (including without limitation the immediate return of the Warrant Price paid with respect to such rescinded exercise) and this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect. As used in this paragraph, the term "Person" includes an individual, a partnership, a corporation, a trust, a joint venture, a limited liability company, an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency thereof, and an "Affiliate" of a Person means any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with, such other Person. A Person will be deemed to control a corporation or other business entity if such Person possesses, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such corporation, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

        3.7    Notice of Adjustment.    Upon any adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company will give written notice thereof, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Holder at Holder's address as shown on the books of the Company, which notice will state (i) the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of Shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based, and (ii) whether, after giving effect to such adjustment, the maximum number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant will constitute more than 5% of the total number of the then issued and outstanding Shares (including in such total number the maximum number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant).

        3.8    Other Notices.    If at any time:

            3.8.1    the Company declares a cash dividend on its Shares payable at a rate in excess of the rate of the last cash dividend theretofore paid;

            3.8.2    the Company declares a dividend on its Shares payable in Shares or pays a special dividend or other distribution (other than regular cash dividends) to Holders of its Shares;

            3.8.3    the Company offers for subscription to Holders of any of its Shares additional Shares of any class or other rights;

4



            3.8.4    there is a reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation or other entity; or

            3.8.5    there is a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

then the Company will give, as provided in paragraph 14 below, to Holder's address as shown on the books of the Company, (i) at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company will close or a record will be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date when the same will take place. Any notice required by clause (i) will also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which Holder will be entitled thereto, and any notice required by (ii) will also specify the anticipated date on which Holder will be entitled to exchange its Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be.

        4.    Listing.    If any Shares required to be reserved for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law (other than the filing of a Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as then in effect (the "Securities Act"), or any similar law then in effect), or listing on any securities exchange, before such Shares may be issued upon such exercise, the Company will, at its expense and as expeditiously as possible, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shares to be duly registered or approved or listed on the relevant securities exchange, as the case may be.

        6.    Definition of Shares.    As used in this Warrant the term "Shares" includes the Company's authorized common stock, $.0001 par value per share, as constituted on the date hereof and also includes any shares of any class of stock or other equity securities of the Company thereafter authorized which will not be limited to a fixed sum or percentage of par value in respect of the rights of holders thereof to participate in dividends or in the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; provided that, except as provided in paragraph 3.6, the Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant will include only Shares designated as "common shares" of the Company or, in the case of any reclassification of the outstanding Shares, the Shares, securities or assets provided for in paragraph 3.6.

        7.    No Participating Preferred Shares.    So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company will not issue any Shares of any class preferred as to dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, unless the rights of Holders thereof will be limited to a fixed sum or percentage of par value in respect of participation in dividends and in the distribution of such assets.
