EXHIBIT B

HGI Scope of Work and Station's Responsibilities.

The Scope of Work may be changed according to the progress and requirements for the completion of the Project (or "Work") at the discretion of the HGI.

1. If HGI is awarded some part of the CEC funding, the Project deployment responsibilities will be:

1.1. Conducting site surveys, contact local utilities to discuss electrical requirements.

1.2. Negotiations with Renewable Power Producers and local electric utilities to contract to purchase 100% carbon free renewable power to run the systems installed.

1.3. Designing layout of systems to meet service requirements, permitting requirements and codes.

1.4. Submit detailed plans to local building and planning departments to acquire permits to begin installation.

1.5. Upon receiving permits to begin, prepare site for installation of equipment.

1.6. Upon completion of Site Prep, have building inspector and Fire Marshal conduct inspection for approval.

1.7. When fueling systems equipment arrives, install systems.

1.8. Once equipment is installed, before finishing ground work (exposed piping, electric connections, etc.) have final inspection by Fire Marshal and Building Inspector.

1.9. After installation is complete, have Fire Marshal return to do site and systems inspection, and check for final "safe to operate" approval.

1.10 Final commissioning, filling first FCEV.

1.11 Begin Monitoring & Maintenance plans.

1.12 Signage and tagging all advertising. Provide agreed signage announcing that hydrogen fueling is coming once permits have been issued.

1.13 HGI will be responsible for paying all electric costs for the hydrogen fueling system (the "HFS"). The HFS will be metered to provide accurate measurement of electricity used by the HFS.

2. Station Owner Responsibilities. If HyGen is awarded some part of the ARFVTP funding, the Station's Project deployment responsibilities will be:

2.1. Location for equipment - Station will provide space at station location to install the HFS including a space on the fueling island for at least 1 dispenser.

2.2. Facilitate connection /access to water and electricity.

2.3. Signage and tagging all advertising. To the extent feasible and if allowable under Station's contract with Tesoro Refining & Marketing, Station will provide signage on existing fuel price marquee for Hydrogen pricing.

2.4 Facilitate Credit Card sales of hydrogen fueling and provide HyGen with agreed upon proceeds from hydrogen sales as provided in Section 3 of the Agreement.

2.5 Cooperate to the extent reasonable with HyGen's plan to purchase 100% Carbon Free electricity and to sell only 100% Carbon Free Renewable Hydrogen Fuel.

EXHIBIT C

Hydrogen Fuel Cost Estimates and Station Profit Projections

(Projections are not binding. Cost/kg is contingent on cost of electricity)

Station Profit Projections Summary for initial deployment and 1^st. System Expansion

First Phase Deployment Projections of Phase 2 Operations Deployment (CEC Funded)

System Production Capacity - 130 kg/day

$1.00 mark-up = Gas station profit - $130.00/kg/day

130 kg/day

X $1.00/kg

$130.00 profit/day - Station Owner Profit.

X 30 days = $3,900.00/month Station Owner Profit.

During this introduction stage, sales for fuel will be sluggish as vehicle deployment takes hold. During this time, we will recruit industrial gas customers that currently use hydrogen in their businesses, i.e., Construction and Fabricators (i.e, Welding), Glass makers, Semi-conductor companies, chemical and food processors, Technology Companies of all kinds, Aerospace, etc. Currently these companies pay up to $25.00/kg at 350 bar (5,000 psi). We would sell it to them for our retail price at $10.00 - $11.00/kg.

Cost /kg largely dependent upon cost/kwh. We estimate a net cost/kwh at $0.10/kwh in the beginning through a Merchant contract with a renewable developer. When we start expansion, we will go to a longer term power purchasing agreement (PPA) at $0.07 through Direct Access. Which will lower the unit cost to $0.04/kwh from Wind Producer, plus $0.03/kwh Transmission & Distribution (T&D) when 100 Stations are achieved at 390kg/station/day,

Fueling systems will be designed to be easily expandable as sales increase. If sales achieve 60% of system capacity in vehicle fuel sales in the first year, expansion plans will be triggered to expand the systems capacity by a minimum of 100% within the 2^nd. Year, as well as to the network for more stations. By the end of the 2^nd. year we will be planning the expansion of each system to up to 390kg/day. Profit projections above are for initial pilot deployment only. As production of vehicles increases fuel demand will increase, and system size will be increased, profits will increase. We will be expanding the network with each CEC PON (Program Opportunity Notice/RFP Funding Program) every year after first systems network is deployed to both expand existing systems, and to expand to new locations. These expansions will increase our Renewable Energy demand and will put us in a position to negotiate lower energy costs with power producers through Direct Access PPAs.

Expansion systems will produce 390kg/day

390 kg/day

X $1.00/kg. Station Profit

$390.00 Profit per day/station

X 30 days

$11,700.00 profit/month/station

The above starter system is scalable and can be upgraded to meet immediate demand needs to a 260kg/da, in which case the system would then generate up to $260.00/day in profits.

Direct Access is a vehicle by which large wholesale energy customers can access energy directly from the power producers bypassing the utilities profit center, thereby avoiding utility markup, by taking on the power scheduling activities of the utilities in house and only paying Transmission and Distribution (T&D) charges of $0.03/kwh. Reducing the cost/kwh from $0.10/kwh to $0.07/kwh.
