Company's Common Stock.
1.3 REGISTRATION. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the

on transfer, including any sale, pledge or other hypothecation, set
forth in an agreement dated as of April 1, 2003 between the Company and
LISEN, LLC, a copy of which agreement may be obtained at no cost by
written request made by the holder of record of this certificate to the

validly existing under the laws of the State of New Mexico and is in good
standing under such laws. The Company has the requisite corporate power to own
and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently
conducted and as proposed to be conducted. The Company is qualified to do

contemplated hereby and thereby will not, conflict with, or result in any
violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or

material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
or materially impair or restrict the Company's power to perform its obligations
as contemplated under said Agreements.
4.4 INVESTMENT. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for investment
for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for
resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Purchaser understands
that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a
specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which
depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent
and the accuracy of the Purchaser's representations and warranties contained
herein.
4.5 DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. The Purchaser has had full access to all
information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment
decision with respect to the Shares to be purchased by the Purchaser under this

offering of the Shares and to obtain additional information necessary to verify
any information furnished to the Purchaser or to which the Purchaser had access.

of the Shares involves substantial risk. The Purchaser has experience as an
investor in securities of companies and acknowledges that it is able to fend for
himself, can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares and has such
knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Shares and protecting
its own interests in connection with this investment.
4.7 ACCREDITED INVESTOR STATUS. The Purchaser is an "accredited
investor" within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities
Act.
4
4.8 RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The Purchaser understands that the Shares to

securities" under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from
the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under the
Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder such securities may be
resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited
circumstances. The Purchaser is familiar with Rule 144 of the SEC, as presently
in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the
Securities Act. The Purchaser understands that the Company is under no
obligation to register any of the Shares sold hereunder except as provided in
the Registration Rights Agreement.

Shares (other than a sale or transfer registered under the Securities Act or
pursuant to Rule 144, or a sale or transfer of that number of Shares
representing less than three percent (3%) of the Company's outstanding Common
Stock, as converted, to any person or group), the Purchaser shall give the
Company the opportunity to purchase such Shares in the following manner:
(i) The Purchaser shall give notice (the "Transfer Notice") to
the Company in writing of such intention specifying the approximate
number of the proposed purchasers or transferees, the amount of Shares
proposed to be sold or transferred, the proposed price per share
therefor (the "Transfer Price") and the other material terms upon which
such disposition is proposed to be made.
(ii) The Company shall have the right, exercisable by written
notice given by the Company to the Purchaser within five (5) business
days after receipt of such Transfer Notice, to purchase all but not
part of the Shares specified in such Transfer Notice for cash per share
equal to the Transfer Price, provided, within five (5) business days
after written notice of exercise by the Company, the Company shall
provide the Purchaser with evidence satisfactory to the Purchaser (by
written commitment letter subject only to customary representations,
diligence and documentation, letter of credit or otherwise) of its
ability to finance such repurchase.
(iii) If the Company exercises its right of first refusal
hereunder, the closing of the purchase of the Shares with respect to
which such right has been exercised shall take place within ten (10)
business days after the Company gives notice of such exercise. Upon
exercise of its right of first refusal, the Company and the Purchaser
shall be legally obligated to consummate the purchase contemplated
thereby and shall use their best efforts to secure any approvals
required in connection therewith.
(iv) If the Company does not exercise its right of first
refusal hereunder within the time specified for such exercise, the
Purchaser shall be free, during the period of ninety (90) calendar days
following the expiration of such time for exercise, to sell the Shares
specified in such Transfer Notice on terms no less favorable to the
Purchaser than the terms specified in such Transfer Notice.
6
8.2 ACTS IN CONCERT WITH OTHERS. Except as contemplated herein with
regard to permissible sales of the Purchaser's Shares, the Purchaser shall not
join a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group, or otherwise
act in concert with any Person, for the purpose of acquiring, holding or
disposing of Shares of the Company owned by the Purchaser.
8.3 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF SHARES. For a period of one year from
the date of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall not, directly or indirectly,

Company or any person or group approved in writing by the Company, or (ii) to a
corporation of which the Purchaser owns not less than 50% of the voting power
entitled to be cast in the election of directors (a "Controlled Corporation"),
so long as such Controlled Corporation agrees to hold such Shares subject to all
the provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 8.6, and agrees to
transfer such Shares to the Purchaser or another Controlled Corporation of the
Purchaser if it ceases to be a Controlled Corporation of the Purchaser.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this
Agreement, the Purchaser may enter into bona fide transactions through a
nationally recognized investment banking firm which constitute a hedge against
changes in the market price of the Common Stock, provided, however, no public
disclosure is made with respect to such hedge transactions, except in an initial
Schedule 13D, the text of which is reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or if
in the opinion of counsel to Purchaser such disclosure is required as a matter
of law.
