January 29, 2007 Missy Wightman City of Palm Desert 73-510 Fred Waring Drive Palm Desert, CA 92260-2578 RE: Contract Assignment for Palm Village Apts Carports w/PV Solar Arrays Ref: Contract No. HA25090 Dear Missy: As a result of an asset purchase that occurred on 11/30/06, we would like to formally request an assignment of the above -referenced contract from SunWize Technologies, Inc. - Fed. ID# 16-1516867 (the "Design -Build Entity", now known as Avalon Energy, Inc.) to SunWize Technologies, Inc. - Fed ID# 61-1511327. The Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency issued a Notice to Proceed on 11/9/06 to SunWize Technologies Inc. ("STI/Oldco"), a private, closely held corporation. At the time our contract was signed, STI/Oldco was the sister company of, and shared common ownership with, SunWize Technologies, LLC ("STL"). On November 30, 2006, Mitsui USA purchased the assets of SunWize Technologies LLC (not including STI/Oldco) and formed a new subsidiary. As part of the transaction, STI/Oldco agreed that the City of Palm Desert contract would be assigned to Mitsui USA's new subsidiary, contingent upon approval by the City of Palm Desert. Also as part of the transaction, it was also agreed that STI/Oldco would simultaneously change its name to Avalon Energy, Inc., and that the Mitsui USA subsidiary ("MUSA Solar") would take the name of SunWize Technologies Inc. ("STI/Newco"). We know this may sound a bit complicated, however, this was absolutely necessary as part of the asset purchase agreement. The new company, STI/Newco, will continue to do the same work as the old company, and has retained the same employees. David Panico is the qualifier/RMO (Responsible Managing Officer) on the current STI/Oldco Reliable People...Reliable Products...Reliable Power!
