Seems like a dead end. Why would you stay there?

Screw the unemployment, who needs it? You have at least 60 days to find a job.

Good luck!

Well, not much to say Karnak.

I hope it comes out well for you. You never know... this may be opportunity knocking. Maybe you'll find something you like even better or take this as a chance to try something you've always wanted to do.

Good Luck once again.

Thanks guys.

I'll do fine.

Udie,

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am rather tied to California.

I bought my mom's house in January to keep her from losing it (I'd been making the payments on it for about a year prior to buying it). So I've got that responsibility that I have to take care of.

As others have said, you now have 60 days to find a job.

That said, why don't you proactively approach the likely purchaser of the product? Say that you're really enthusiastic about the future and that you're looking to pursue your career alongside this product under the new ownership, but... Get them to give you a very generous relocation package.
