and warrants to TRACER, and where so stated, promises as follows:
(a) Unregistered Securities. Purchaser understands that the
Warrant has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any
state securities laws (collectively, "Securities Laws") in reliance
upon an exemption from registration accorded for nonpublic offerings.
Purchaser further recognizes that the Warrant may not be sold unless it
and the transaction in which it is to be sold have been registered
under the Securities Laws or an exemption from registration is
available for such sale. Purchaser accepts that the Warrant will bear a
legend to that effect. Further, Purchaser recognizes that TRACER has
made no representations as to registration of the Warrant under the
Securities Laws and that no registration is anticipated ever to occur.
(b) Investment Intent. Purchaser is acquiring the Warrant for
its own account for investment and not with a view to resale or
distribution. The Purchaser promises that it will not sell,
hypothecate, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Warrant, or attempt
so to do, unless it has been registered under the Securities Laws or,
in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to TRACER and its
counsel, an exemption from registration is available.
(c) Negotiation; Access to Information. The terms of
Purchaser's purchase of the Warrant were established by negotiations
between Purchaser and TRACER's representative, and in connection
therewith, Purchaser was given access to the relevant information it
requested concerning TRACER's condition and operations, and the
opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from TRACER's
representatives. Purchaser is knowledgeable and experienced in
financial and business matters and, on the basis of the information it
received concerning TRACER's condition and operations, Purchaser is in
a position to make an informed investment decision concerning its
investment in the Warrant and the risks attending such investment.
Further, in light of its financial position, Purchaser is able to bear
the economic risks of investment in the Warrant.
(d) Legends; Stop Transfer Orders. Purchaser hereby consents
and agrees that TRACER may imprint on any certificate evidencing the
Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares an appropriate legend or
notification to the effect that such shares are not freely transferable
and may be transferred only in compliance with applicable securities
laws. Purchaser further consents and agrees that TRACER may
3
give appropriate "stop order" instructions in this regard to any
transfer agent for the Warrant or the Warrant Shares.
(e) Compliance; Indemnity. Purchaser hereby expressly promises
not to offer for sale or sell the Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares,
or any interest therein, except in compliance with the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and other applicable securities laws and
regulations, including those of the State of Arizona. Purchaser hereby
promises to indemnify TRACER, together with its officers and directors,
against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses
(including reasonable attorney fees) arising (directly or indirectly)
from or in connection with any disposition of the Warrant or the
Warrant Shares, or any interest therein, in violation of (or allegedly
in violation of) applicable securities laws or regulations, including
all such expenses incurred in connection with the defense against any
such claim.
(f) No Transfer; Stockholder's Agreement. Purchaser promises
not to transfer the Warrant or any interest therein without the prior
written consent of TRACER. In addition, Purchaser acknowledges that in
connection with the exercise of the Warrant, any holder will be
required as a condition to such exercise to become bound by and
obligated under the Stockholder Agreement for so long as it shall be in
effect.
(g) Delivery of Investment Letter upon Exercise of Warrant. At
the request of TRACER, Purchaser shall deliver upon exercise of the
Warrant an investment letter in form and substance substantially to the
effect of Sections 4(a)-(e) above.
5. Conditions to the Obligations of Purchaser. The obligation of
Purchaser to purchase and pay for the Warrant on the Closing Date is, at
Purchaser's sole option, subject to satisfaction on or before the Closing Date
of the following conditions:
(a) Representations and Warranties to Be True. The
representations and warranties contained in Section 3 shall be true,
complete and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect
as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as

all agreements contained herein and required to be performed or
complied with by it prior to or at the Closing Date.
(c) Proceedings. All corporate and other proceedings to be

and all documents incident thereto shall be satisfactory in form and
substance to Purchaser and its counsel.
