4.33 Investment Intent.

The Exchange Consideration is being acquired hereunder by the Seller for investment purposes only, for its own account, not as a nominee or agent and not with a view to the distribution thereof. The Seller has no present intention to sell or otherwise dispose of the Exchange Consideration and will not do so except in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and applicable law. The Seller understands that the Exchange Consideration acquired hereunder must be held by it indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition or transfer of any of said shares is registered under the 1933 Act, or is exempt from registration therefrom. The Seller further understands that the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known to the Seller) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, depends on the satisfaction of various conditions, and that, if and when applicable, Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales only in limited amounts.

4.34 Investment Experience; Suitability. The Seller is a sophisticated investor familiar with the type of risks inherent in the acquisition of securities such as the shares of the Purchaser and the Seller’s financial position is such that the Seller can afford to retain the Exchange Consideration for an indefinite period of time without realizing any direct or indirect cash return on its investment.

4.35 Accredited Investor Status. The Seller is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and the Seller shall submit to the Purchaser such additional information as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser to establish the Seller’s status as such.

267671.03

4.36 Reliance on Exemptions. The Seller understands that shares of Purchaser’s common stock comprising the Exchange Consideration is being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Purchaser is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Seller’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Seller set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Seller to acquire the Exchange Consideration.

4.37 Legends. The Seller understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Exchange Consideration, shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.

4.38 Disclosure. All statements contained in any schedule, certificate, opinion, instrument, or other document delivered by or on behalf of the Seller or the Company pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed representations and warranties by the Seller and the Company herein. No statement, representation or warranty by the Seller or the Company in this Agreement or in any schedule, certificate, opinion, instrument, or other document furnished or to be furnished to the Purchaser pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading or necessary in order to provide a prospective purchaser of the business of the Company with full and fair disclosure concerning the Company, the Business, and the Company’s affairs.

267671.03

with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, the Company or the Seller, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

(ii) The Purchaser and the Seller further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Body or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

The Seller and the Purchaser shall treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article 9 as an adjustment to the Exchange Consideration for federal, state, local and foreign income tax purposes, except to the extent otherwise required by law.

10.2 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

The parties hereto hereby agree that the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, document or instrument delivered in connection herewith, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the Closing hereunder, regardless of any investigation made by the parties hereto; provided, however, that any claims or actions with respect thereto (other than claims for indemnifications with respect to the representation and warranties contained in Sections 4.3, 4.11, 4.24 and 4.36 which shall survive for periods coterminous with any applicable statutes of limitation) shall terminate unless within twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date written notice of such claims is given to the Seller or such actions are commenced; provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect without termination.

10.4 Specific Performance.

267671.03

The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the Purchaser and that the Purchaser will not have an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the obligations of the Seller under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Seller’s obligation to sell the Shares to the Purchaser, shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement or otherwise.

10.5 Further Assurances.

The Seller and the Purchaser each agrees to execute and deliver such other documents or agreements and to take such other action as may be reasonably necessary or desirable for the implementation of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Fees.

(a) The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within the State of Colorado over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any suit, action proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, any

investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
