Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase A Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

The filing of the Bankruptcy Petition described in Item 1.03 above constituted an event of default that accelerated the payment of the Debtors’ obligations under the following debt instruments (the “Debt Instruments”) exclusive of obligations already disclosed by the Company as being in default:

Secured Promissory Note dated October 30, 2012 in the principal amount of $800,000 issued to Laird Q. Cagan by Blue Earth, Inc.

The Company is continuing its review of all material capital leases, operating leases, long-term debt and short-term debt other than in the ordinary course that could be accelerated by the filing of the Bankruptcy Petition.

The Debt Instruments provide that as a result of the Bankruptcy Petition the principal and interest due thereunder shall be immediately due and payable. However, any efforts to enforce such payment obligations under the Debt Instruments are automatically stayed as a result of the Bankruptcy Petition, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement in respect of the Debt Instruments are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.
