1.2 PRE-CLOSING COVENANTS. Prior to the Closing of the Transaction,
GLAR covenants with shareholder approval to effect a one for 3.75 reverse split

written until the Closing, GLAR will not issue any common or preferred stock
(except as contemplated in Section 1.3 of this Agreement) or any other of its
securities without the express prior written consent of the Buyer. Furthermore,
GLAR and CG covenant to (i) cancel or cause to be cancelled all outstanding
stock options and warrants to purchase any securities of GLAR so that by the
Closing, no such stock options or warrants are outstanding, (ii) cause to have
vacated and completely discharged the Order Appointing Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx As
Custodian of Glas-Aire Industries Group, Ltd., pursuant to NRS 78.347, dated
July 17, 2006, and to pay all costs in connection therewith, so that CG

discharged or settled in full, other than the debt specifically being assumed by

and options are automatically cancelled and terminated. Each party will bear its
own expenses in connection with the Transaction contemplated hereby, including
without limitation, legal and accounting fees.
1.3 PURCHASE PRICE. In consideration for the GLAR stock conveyed to the
Buyer or its designees on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 4.1 of this
Agreement), the Buyer will provide to GLAR the following consideration (the
"Purchase Price") on or before the Closing: (1) the Company will cause 100% of
the shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "ESP Stock") to be conveyed to
GLAR, so that the Company becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of GLAR on the
Closing, (2) assumption of the debt owed by GLAR to HSBC bank in the outstanding
amount of approximately CND $85,000 (Canadian dollars) as of May 1, 2006, (3)
enter into the consulting agreement with CG referenced in Section 2 of this
Agreement, and (4) pay the costs of bringing GLAR current on its reporting
obligations to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission after the
Closing. In the event the Buyer elects to make payments to HSBC prior to the
Closing, GLAR will issue a secured promissory note to the Company in the
principal amount of the payments by the Company to HSBC, secured by a perfected
security interest in 100 shares (the "Shares") of newly issued Series A
Preferred Stock of GLAR having voting power over, and convertible into, 90% of
the total issued and outstanding capital stock of GLAR at the time of its
issuance and at the time of a foreclosure on the Series A Preferred Stock, if a
foreclosure occurs. The certificates evidencing the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock will be issued in the name of the Company with executed stock powers to
accommodate a return of those shares to GLAR's treasury when and if the
promissory note is paid in full or the Transaction Closes, as contemplated by
this Agreement, provided one of those events occurs before a default under the
promissory note occurs. The certificates will be held in trust (the "Trust
-2-
Account") by Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx, Esq. The Series A Preferred Stock will not have
voting rights, nor will the Trust Account holder or any other party have any
dispositive or economic rights with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock
while it is held in the Trust Account. The promissory note will be noninterest
bearing and will have a maturity date of December 31, 2006, at which time it
will be deemed to be in default unless it has either been repaid in full or the
Transaction Closes as contemplated by the parties. In the event of a foreclosure
because of a default on the promissory note, the 100 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock will be released from the Trust Account to the Company, at which
time the Company will have full ownership, voting, economic and dispositive
rights with respect to the stock. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the
contrary, the Company is not obligated to Close the Transaction if it has other
rights hereunder to terminate for any reason or to seek remedies for any other
breach of this Agreement by GLAR or CG, which rights and remedies will not be
affected or modified by a default on the promissory note by GLAR. Unless
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, prior to issuance, the
GLAR Stock, the ESP Stock, and the Shares will bear the following legend:
"THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THAT ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE."

demands, losses, costs, expenses, obligations, liabilities and damages,
including interest, penalties and attorney's fees and costs, incurred by Buyer

any misrepresentation of a material fact or omission to disclose a material fact
made by GLAR in this Agreement, in any exhibits to this Agreement or in any

breach of, or failure by GLAR or CG to perform, any of their representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or in any exhibit or other
document furnished or to be furnished by GLAR or CG under this Agreement.
10.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY BUYER. Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold harmless GLAR against any and all claims, demands, losses, costs, expenses,
obligations, liabilities and damages, including interest, penalties and
attorneys' fees and costs incurred by GLAR arising, resulting from or relating
to any misrepresentation of a material fact or omission to disclose a material
fact made by the Company in this Agreement, in any exhibit to this Agreement, or
-18-
in any other document furnished or to be furnished by the Company under this
Agreement, or any breach of or failure by Buyer to perform any of its
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or in any
exhibit or other document furnished or to be furnished by Buyer under this
Agreement.
10.3 LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION BY GLAR.
(a) GLAR's indemnification obligation shall be limited to the
maximum Purchase Price payable under this Agreement.
(b) The indemnification obligations of GLAR are solely for the
benefit of Buyer, GLAR itself, and their successors in
interest and are not intended to, nor shall they, constitute
an agreement for the benefit of, or be enforceable by, any
other person or entity.
(c) GLAR shall have no liability with respect to any
representation or warranty, unless, within three (3) years
from the Closing Date, the Buyer has notified GLAR of a claim
as provided for in this Section 10.
10.4 LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION BY BUYER. Buyer shall have no
liability with respect to any representation, warranty, or covenant, unless,
within three (3) years from the Closing Date, GLAR has notified Buyer of a claim
as provided for in this Section 10.
10.5 PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION CLAIMS.
(a) Whenever any parties become aware that a claim (an
"Underlying Claim") has arisen entitling them to seek indemnification
under this Section 10 of the Agreement, such parties (the "Indemnified
Parties") shall promptly send a notice ("Notice") to the parties liable
for such indemnification (the "Indemnifying Parties") of the right to
indemnification (the "Indemnity Claim"); provided, however, that the
failure to so notify the Indemnifying Parties will relieve the
Indemnifying Parties from liability under this Agreement with respect
to such Indemnity Claim only if, and only to the extent that, such
failure to notify the Indemnifying Parties results in the forfeiture by
the Indemnifying Parties of rights and defenses otherwise available to
the Indemnifying Parties with respect to the Underlying Claim. Any
Notice pursuant to this Section 10.3(a) shall set forth in reasonable
detail, to the extent then available, the basis for such Indemnity
Claim and an estimate of the amount of damages arising therefrom.
(b) If an Indemnity Claim does NOT result from or arise in
connection with any Underlying Claim or legal proceedings by a third
party, the Indemnifying Parties will have thirty (30) calendar days
following receipt of the Notice to issue a written response to the
Indemnified Parties, indicating the Indemnifying Parties' intention to
either (i) contest the Indemnity Claim or (ii) accept the Indemnity
Claim as valid. The Indemnifying Parties' failure to provide such a
written response within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to
be an acceptance of the Indemnity Claim as valid. In the event that an
Indemnity Claim is accepted as valid, the Indemnifying Parties shall,
-19-
within fifteen (15) business days thereafter, pay the damages incurred
by the Indemnified Parties in respect of the Underlying Claim in cash
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or
accounts specified by the Indemnified Parties. To the extent
appropriate, payments for indemnifiable damages made pursuant to
Section 10 of the Agreement will be treated as adjustments to the
Purchase Price.
(c) In the event an Indemnity Claim results from or arises in
connection with any Underlying Claim or legal proceedings by a third
party, the Indemnifying Parties shall have fifteen (15) calendar days
following receipt of the Notice to send a Notice to the Indemnified
Parties of their election to, at their sole cost and expense, assume
the defense of any such Underlying Claim or legal proceeding; provided
that such Notice of election shall contain a confirmation by the
Indemnifying Parties of their obligation to hold harmless the
Indemnified Parties with respect to damages arising from such
Underlying Claim. The failure by the Indemnifying Parties to elect to
assume the defense of any such Underlying Claim within such fifteen
(15) day period shall entitle the Indemnified Parties to undertake
control of the defense of the Underlying Claim on behalf of and for the
account and risk of the Indemnifying Parties in such manner as the
Indemnified Parties may deem appropriate, including, but not limited
to, settling the Underlying Claim. However, the parties controlling the
defense of the Underlying Claim shall not settle or compromise such
Underlying Claim without the prior written consent of the other
parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
The non-controlling parties shall be entitled to participate in (but
not control) the defense of any such action, with their own counsel and
at their own expense.
(d) The Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Parties will
cooperate reasonably, fully and in good faith with each other, at the
sole expense of the Indemnifying Parties, in connection with the
defense, compromise or settlement of any Underlying Claim including,
without limitation, by making available to the other parties all
pertinent information and witnesses within their reasonable control.
10.6 RIGHT OF OFFSET. Buyer will have a right to offset any damages it
incurs as a result of any breach of any covenant, representation or warranty by
GLAR or CG under this Agreement against any of Buyer's obligations to GLAR or
CG.
11. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.
11.1 DAMAGES INADEQUATE. Each party acknowledges that it would be
impossible to measure in money the damages to the other party if there is a
failure to comply with any covenants and provisions of this Agreement, and
agrees that in the event of any breach of any covenant or provision, the other
party to this Agreement will not have an adequate remedy at law.
11.2 INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. It is therefore agreed that the other party to
this Agreement who is entitled to the benefit of the covenants and provisions of
this Agreement which have been breached, in addition to any other rights or
remedies which they may have, will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief to
-20-
enforce such covenants and provisions, and that in the event that any such
action or proceeding is brought in equity to enforce them, the defaulting or
breaching party will not urge a defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.
12. FURTHER ASSURANCES.
Following the Closing, CG shall furnish to Buyer such instruments and
other documents as Buyer may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out
or evidencing the transactions contemplated hereby.
13. WAIVERS.
If any party at any time waives any rights hereunder resulting from any
breach by the other party of any of the provisions of this Agreement, such
waiver is not to be construed as a continuing waiver of other breaches of the
same or other provisions of this Agreement. Resort to any remedies referred to
herein will not be construed as a waiver of any other rights and remedies to
which such party is entitled under this Agreement or otherwise.
14. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
Each covenant and representation of this Agreement will inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon each of the parties, their personal
representatives, assigns and other successors in interest.

supersedes all other agreements, representations, warranties, statements,
promises and undertakings, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject
matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a
written agreement signed by the parties against whom the amendment is sought to
be enforced. The parties acknowledge that as of the execution of this Agreement,
those certain Letters of Intent among the parties dated May 1, 2006 will be
terminated and be of no further force or effect.
16. GOVERNING LAW.
This Agreement will be governed by the laws of California without
giving effect to applicable conflict of laws provisions. With respect to any
litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each party agrees that
it will be filed in and heard by the state or federal courts with jurisdiction
to hear such suits located in Los Angeles County, California.
17. COUNTERPARTS.
This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of
counterparts, each of which counterparts will be deemed to be an original, and
such counterparts will constitute but one and the same instrument.
-21-
18. ASSIGNMENT.
Except in the case of the Buyer, this Agreement may not be assignable
by any party without prior written consent of the other parties.
19. REMEDIES.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, none of the remedies set
forth in this Agreement are intended to be exclusive, and each party will have
all other remedies now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or
otherwise. The election of any one or more remedies will not constitute a waiver
of the right to pursue other available remedies.
20. SECTION HEADINGS.
The section headings in this Agreement are included for convenience
only, are not a part of this Agreement and will not be used in construing it.
21. SEVERABILITY.
In the event that any provision or any part of this Agreement is held
to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or
unenforceability will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision or part of this Agreement.
