4.6 Taxes and Undisclosed Liabilities. Neither Buyer nor any of its subsidiaries has any material liability of any nature (whether known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, absolute or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, liquidated or unliquidated, or due or to become due), including, without limitation, liabilities for Taxes and liabilities to customers, suppliers or franchisees, other than the following:

4.8 Exchange Act.

(a) The Common Stock is registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Buyer is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Exchange Act. Buyer has taken no action to terminate such Exchange Act registration. Buyer has made available to Seller true, complete, and correct copies of all documents filed or furnished with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by or on behalf of Buyer (the “SEC Documents”). The SEC Documents, including, without limitation, any financial statements and schedules included therein, at the time filed or, if subsequently amended, as so amended, (i) did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder. All required reports or other filings required by Section 13(a) or 15(d) the Exchange Act in the last two years were timely made. To Buyer’s knowledge, each director and executive officer thereof has filed with the SEC on a timely basis all statements required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder since at least December 31, 2007.

(b) Buyer is in compliance in all material respects with all provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 which are applicable to it. Buyer and its subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Buyer has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for Buyer and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to Buyer and its subsidiaries is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which Buyer’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act is being prepared. Buyer’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of Buyer’s controls and procedures as of the date prior to the filing date of the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). Buyer presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in Buyer’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a and 15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Buyer’s internal control over financial reporting. Buyer has made available to Seller copies of, all written descriptions of, and all policies, manuals and other documents promulgating, such disclosure controls and procedures. The books, records and accounts of Buyer accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the transactions in, and dispositions of, the assets of, and the results of operations of, Buyer all to the extent required by GAAP.

(c) Buyer has made available to Seller complete and correct copies of all certifications filed with the SEC pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and hereby reaffirms, warrants to Seller the matters and statements made in such certificates.

To Buyer’s knowledge, there is no unauthorized use, infringement, misappropriation or other misuse by other Persons of any of Buyer’s Intellectual Property. Buyer’s Intellectual Property includes all Intellectual Property necessary to generate royalty revenues from the Buyer’s business as currently generated by Buyer’s business, without infringing any Intellectual Property of Buyer or any other Person.

(b) any failure by Seller to perform any of its covenants, agreements, or obligations in this Agreement; and

(c) the employment by Seller of, or services rendered to it by, any finder, broker, agency, or other intermediary, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or any allegation of any such employment or services.

If, by reason of the claim of any third party relating to any of the matters subject to indemnification by Seller, an Encumbrance, attachment, garnishment, or execution is placed or made upon any of the properties or assets owned or leased by Buyer, in addition to any indemnity obligation of Buyer under this Section, Seller shall be obligated to furnish a bond sufficient to obtain the prompt release of such Encumbrance, attachment, garnishment or execution within five days from receipt of notice relating thereto.

8.3 Procedure for Indemnified Third Party Claim. If a party desires indemnification by the other party, promptly after receipt by a Buyer Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee (each an “Indemnitee”) of written notice of the assertion or the commencement of any Litigation with respect to any matter referred to in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, as applicable, the Indemnitee shall give written notice thereof to the other party (such other party, whether Buyer or Seller, the “Indemnifying Party”), and thereafter shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably informed with respect thereto; provided, however, that failure of the Indemnitee to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. If any Litigation is commenced against any Indemnitee by a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such Litigation and, at the Indemnifying Party’s option, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of any Litigation if (i) the Indemnitee shall have one or more legal or equitable defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, and, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnitee, counsel for the Indemnifying Party could not adequately represent the interests of the Indemnitee because such interests could be in conflict with those of the Indemnifying Party, (ii) such Litigation is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on any other matter beyond the scope or limits of the indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party, or (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have assumed the defense of the Litigation in a timely fashion (but in any event within thirty days of notice of such Litigation). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Litigation, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in any Litigation at its sole expense, and the Indemnifying Party shall not settle such Litigation unless (1) the settlement shall include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff of a full and unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability with respect to the matters that are subject to such Litigation; or (2) the Indemnitee has approved, in writing, the settlement, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld by the Indemnitee.

8.4 Payment of Indemnification Amounts. Amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 shall be payable by the Indemnifying Party as incurred by the Indemnitee, and shall bear interest at the Prime Rate from the date the Losses for which indemnification is sought were incurred by the Indemnitee until the date of payment of indemnification.

8.5 Survival of Warranties. The warranties set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4(a) and 5.5 shall survive Closing indefinitely. The warranties set forth in Section 4.6 shall survive Closing until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. All other warranties of the parties set forth in Article 4 and Article 5 shall survive Closing for a period of 24 months. An Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations with respect to fraud or intentional misrepresentation by such Indemnifying Party shall survive indefinitely. It is the express intent of the parties that, if the applicable survival period for an item as contemplated by this Section 8.5 (the “Applicable Survival Period”) is longer or shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then absent fraud, by contract the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such items shall be increased or reduced, as applicable, to the extended or shortened survival period contemplated hereby. The parties further acknowledge that the Applicable Survival Periods set forth in this Section 8.5 for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arm’s-length negotiation among the parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the parties.

8.6 Knowledge and Investigation. All warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and indemnities of the parties contained in this Agreement and in the Transaction Documents shall be deemed material and relied upon by the other party and such other party’s Indemnitees, regardless of any knowledge or investigation or any representation made by the other party, and none will be waived by any failure to pursue any action or consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Exercisable to Purchase

[_________________] Shares

U-SWIRL, INC.

Void after __________, 20__

This is to certify that, for value received and subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, the Warrantholder (hereinafter defined) is entitled to purchase, and the Company (hereinafter defined) promises and agrees to sell and issue to the Warrantholder, at any time on or after January [__], 2013 and on or before the Expiration Dates set forth on Exhibit A, the number of shares of Common Stock (hereinafter defined) at the Exercise Prices (hereinafter defined) set forth on Exhibit A.

In the event that a holder of the Company’s warrants or stock options exercises any such warrant or stock option set forth on Exhibit B, the Warrantholder shall be entitled to exercise any Warrant with the same Corresponding Warrant ID Number. The number of shares the Warrantholder may purchase upon the exercise of any Warrant shall not exceed an amount equal to one and one-half (1.5) multiplied by the number of shares purchased by a holder of the Company’s warrants or options upon the exercise of such warrant or option set forth opposite the Corresponding Warrant ID Number on Exhibit B.

This Warrant Certificate is issued subject to the following terms and conditions:

Definitions of Certain Terms. Except as may be otherwise clearly required by the context, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Common Stock” means the common stock, par value $0.001, of the Company.

“Company” means U-Swirl, Inc., a Nevada corporation.

“Exercise Price” means the price at which the Warrantholder may purchase one share of Common Stock upon exercise of Warrants as determined from time to time pursuant to the provisions hereof.

“Shares” means the shares of Common Stock obtained or obtainable upon exercise of the Warrant.

“Warrant Certificate” means a certificate evidencing the Warrant.

“Warrantholder” means a record holder of the Warrant. The Warrantholder is Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc.

“Warrant” means the warrant evidenced by this certificate, any similar certificate issued in connection with the Offering, or any certificate obtained upon transfer or partial exercise of the Warrant evidenced by any such certificate.

Exercise of Warrant. All or any part of the Warrant represented by this Warrant Certificate may be exercised commencing on January __, 2013 and ending at 5 p.m. Mountain Time on the specified Expiration Date by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, together with appropriate instructions, duly executed by the Warrantholder or by its duly authorized attorney, at the office of the Company, 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx X, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx 00000; or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate. The date on which such instructions are received by the Company shall be the date of exercise. Subject to the provisions below, upon receipt of notice of exercise, the Company shall immediately instruct its transfer agent to prepare certificates for the Shares to be received by the Warrantholder upon completion of the Warrant exercise. When such certificates are prepared, the Company shall notify the Warrantholder and deliver such certificates to the Warrantholder or as per the Warrantholder’s instructions immediately upon payment in full by the Warrantholder, in lawful money of the United States, of the Exercise Price payable with respect to the Shares being purchased, if any.

If fewer than all the Shares purchasable under the Warrant are purchased, the Company will, upon such partial exercise and request of the Warrantholder, execute and deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant Certificate (dated the date hereof), in form and tenor similar to this Warrant Certificate, evidencing that portion of the Warrant not exercised. The Shares to be obtained on exercise of the Warrant will be deemed to have been issued, and any person exercising the Warrant will be deemed to have become a holder of record of those Shares, as of the date of the payment of the Exercise Price.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall such Shares be issued, and the Company is authorized to refuse to honor the exercise of the Warrant, if such exercise would result in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, upon advice of counsel, in the violation of any law.

Adjustments in Certain Events. The number, class, and price of Shares for which this Warrant Certificate may be exercised are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:

If the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock are divided into a greater number of shares or a dividend in stock is paid on the Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is then exercisable will be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price will be proportionately reduced; and, conversely, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock are combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is then exercisable will be proportionately reduced and the Exercise Price will be proportionately increased. The increases and reductions provided for in this Section 3(a) will be made with the intent and, as nearly as practicable, the effect that neither the percentage of the total equity of the Company obtainable on exercise of the Warrants nor the price payable for such percentage upon such exercise will be affected by any event described in this Section 3(a).

In case of any change in the Common Stock through merger, consolidation, reclassification, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation, purchase of substantially all the assets of the Company, or other change in the capital structure of the Company, then, as a condition of such change, lawful and adequate provision will be made so that the holder of this Warrant Certificate will have the right thereafter to receive upon the exercise of the Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property to which it would have been entitled if, immediately prior to such event, it had held the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon the exercise of the Warrant. In any such case, appropriate adjustment will be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Warrantholder, to the end that the provisions set forth herein will thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrant. The Company will not permit any change in its capital structure to occur unless the issuer of the shares of stock or other securities to be received by the holder of this Warrant Certificate, if not the Company, agrees to be bound by and comply with the provisions of this Warrant Certificate.

When any adjustment is required to be made in the number of shares of Common Stock, other securities, or the property purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, the Company will promptly determine the new number of such shares or other securities or property purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant and (i) prepare and retain on file a statement describing in reasonable detail the method used in arriving at the new number of such shares or other securities or property purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant and (ii) cause a copy of such statement to be mailed to the Warrantholder within thirty (30) days after the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment.

No fractional shares of Common Stock or other securities will be issued in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, but the Company will pay, in lieu of fractional shares, a cash payment therefor on the basis of the mean between the bid and asked prices of the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market or the last sale price of the Common Stock on the principal exchange or other trading facility on which the Common Stock is traded on the day immediately prior to exercise.

(a) If shares of the Company or securities of any subsidiary of the Company are distributed pro rata to holders of Common Stock, such number of shares and/or securities will be distributed to the Warrantholder or its assignee upon exercise of its rights hereunder as such Warrantholder or assignee would have been entitled to if this Warrant Certificate had been exercised prior to the record date for such distribution. The provisions with respect to adjustment of the Common Stock provided in this Section 3 will also apply to the securities to which the Warrantholder or its assignee is entitled under this Section 3(e).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there will be no adjustment made hereunder on account of the sale by the Company of the Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant.

If, immediately prior to any exercise of Warrants, there shall be outstanding no securities of a class or series that, but for the provisions of this Section 3, would be issuable upon such exercise (the “Formerly Issuable Securities”), then, upon such exercise, and in lieu of the Formerly Issuable Securities, the Company shall issue that number and kind of other securities or property for which the Formerly Issuable Securities were most recently exercisable or into which the Formerly Issuable Securities were most recently convertible, as the case may be.

Reservation of Shares. The Company agrees that the number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the Warrant upon the basis set forth above will at all times during the term of the Warrant be reserved for exercise.

Validity of Shares. All Shares delivered upon the exercise of the Warrant will be duly and validly issued in accordance with their terms, and the Company will pay all documentary and transfer taxes, if any, in respect of the original issuance thereof upon exercise of the Warrant.

Restrictions on Transfer. This Warrant Certificate and the Warrant may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities. The Warrant may be divided or combined, upon request to the Company by the Warrantholder, into a certificate or certificates evidencing the same aggregate number of Warrants.

No Rights as a Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Warrantholder will not, by virtue of ownership of the Warrant, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder of the Company but will, upon written request to the Company, be entitled to receive such quarterly or annual reports as the Company distributes to its shareholders.

Compliance with Securities Laws. The Warrantholder acknowledges and agrees that: (i) this Warrant and any Shares that may be acquired upon exercise hereof are being or will be acquired for investment purposes and not with a view toward the distribution or sale thereof; (ii) this Warrant and the Shares will not be registered under either federal or applicable state securities laws and must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an exemption from such registration is available; (iii) investment in the Company is highly speculative; (iv) it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of his investment and has the ability to bear the economic risks (including the risk of a total loss) of its investment; (v) it has had the opportunity to ask questions of the Company concerning the Company’s business and assets and to obtain any additional information that it considered necessary to verify the accuracy or to amplify the Company’s disclosures with respect to its investment and has had all such questions answered to its satisfaction; and (vi) the Company will be relying upon the foregoing investment representations in agreeing to issue this Warrant and the Shares to the Warrantholder. The Warrantholder acknowledges that the transferability of the Warrant and of any Shares will be subject to restrictions imposed by all applicable federal and state securities laws and agrees that the certificates evidencing the Shares shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR FOR RESALE IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY DISTRIBUTION THEREOF, AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE UNLESS THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES, THE SALE IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY STATING THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT, OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND OF ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

The restrictions imposed by this Section 8 upon the transfer of this Warrant or Shares to be purchased upon exercise hereof shall terminate: (i) when such securities shall have been resold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (ii) upon the Company’s receipt of an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect that such restrictions are no longer required to ensure compliance with the Securities Act and state securities laws; or (iii) upon the Company’s receipt of other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required. Whenever such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any such securities, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Company (or its transfer agent and registrar), without expense (other than applicable transfer taxes, if any), new Warrant Certificates (or, in the case of Shares, new certificates) of like tenor not bearing the applicable legend required by this Section 8 as set forth above relating to the Securities Act and state securities laws.

Form S-3 Demand. If at any time when it is eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement, the Company receives a request from the Investor, the Company shall as soon as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days after the date such request is given by the Investor, file a Form S-3 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities requested to be included by the Investor, subject to the limitations of Subsection 2.1(c), Subsection 2.1(d) and Subsection 2.3.

Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to the Investor a certificate signed by the Company’s chief executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after the request of the Investor is given; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any other stockholder during such thirty (30) day period other than an Excluded Registration.

The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a); (i) during the period that is sixty (60) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided, that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or (ii) if the Investor proposes to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b). The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b) (i) during the period that is thirty (30) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided, that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or (ii) if the Company has effected two registrations pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b) within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of such request. A registration shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Subsection 2.1(d) until such time as the applicable registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC.

Company Registration. If the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Investor) any of its securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than in an Excluded Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give the Investor notice of such registration. Upon the request of the Investor given within ten (10) days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Subsection 2.3, cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that the Investor has requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Subsection 2.2 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Subsection 2.6.

Underwriting Requirements.

If, pursuant to Subsection 2.1, the Investor intends to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its request by means of an underwriting, it shall so advise the Company as a part of its request made pursuant to Subsection 2.1. The underwriter(s) will be selected by the Investor, subject only to the reasonable approval of the Company.

In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Investor’s Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Investor accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced unless all other securities (other than securities to be sold by the Company) are first entirely excluded from the offering or (ii) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced below twenty percent (20%) of the total number of securities included in such offering.

For purposes of Subsection 2.1, a registration shall not be counted as “effected” if fewer than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that the Investor has requested to be included in such registration statement are actually included.

Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Investor, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed; provided, however, that (i) such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Investor refrains, at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, from selling any securities included in such registration, and (ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 that are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, subject to compliance with applicable SEC rules, such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for up to three hundred sixty-five (365) days, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold;

prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement, and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, as may be necessary to comply with the Securities Act in order to enable the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

furnish to the Investor such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, as required by the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate their disposition of their Registrable Securities;

use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue-sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Investor; provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;

in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the underwriter(s) of such offering;

use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

promptly make available for inspection by the Investor, any underwriter(s) participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the Investor, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent, in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such registration statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith;

notify the Investor, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed; and

after such registration statement becomes effective, notify the Investor of any request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus.

In addition, the Company shall ensure that, at all times after any registration statement covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, its xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy shall provide that the Company’s directors may implement a trading program under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.

Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of the Investor that the Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of the Investor’s Registrable Securities.

Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Section 2, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees; printers’ and accounting fees; fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the Investor (“Investor Counsel”), shall be borne and paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Subsection 2.1 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Investor of the Registrable Securities to be registered; provided further that if, at the time of such withdrawal, the Investor shall have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Investor at the time of its request and has withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness after learning of such information then the Investor shall not be required to pay any of such expenses.

Delay of Registration. The Investor shall not have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.

Indemnification. If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2:

To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, and the partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders of the Investor; legal counsel and accountants for the Investor; any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Investor; and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Damages, and the Company will pay to the Investor, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Investor, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such registration.

To the extent permitted by law, the Investor will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person (if any), who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, and any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration; and the Investor will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by the Investor by way of indemnity or contribution under Subsections 2.8(b) and 2.8(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by the Investor (net of any Selling Expenses paid by the Investor), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by the Investor.

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Subsection 2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Subsection 2.8, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Subsection 2.8, to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Subsection 2.8.

To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Subsection 2.8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Subsection 2.8 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Subsection 2.8, then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case, (x) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall the Investor’s liability pursuant to this Subsection 2.8(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by the Investor pursuant to Subsection 2.8(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by the Investor (net of any Selling Expenses paid by the Investor), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by the Investor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and the Investor under this Subsection 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Section 2, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company shall:

make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144;

use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements); and

furnish to the Investor, so long as the Investor owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144, the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S 3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies); (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company; and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing the Investor of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration (at any time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act) or pursuant to Form S 3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies to use such form).

Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Investor, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that (i) would provide to such holder the right to include securities in any registration on other than a subordinate basis after the Investor has had the opportunity to include in the registration and offering all shares of Registrable Securities that it wishes to so include or (ii) allow such holder or prospective holder to initiate a demand for registration of any securities held by such holder or prospective holder.

Legends.

Each certificate or instrument representing (i) the Registrable Securities and (ii) any other securities issued in respect of the securities referenced in clause (i) upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or similar event, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR A VALID EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

The Investor consents to the Company making a notation in its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Restricted Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Subsection 2.11.

The holder of each certificate representing Restricted Securities, by acceptance thereof, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 2.

X. X. Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx and X. Xxxxxxxxxx are shareholders of the Company’s common stock, immediately prior the Effective Date of this Agreement.

D Rocky Mountain, Aspen Leaf, X. Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx and X.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENTS

1. Voting Provisions Regarding Board of Directors.

1.1. Size of the Board. The Shareholders each agree to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares (as defined below) owned by such Shareholder, or over which such Shareholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure the following situations:

(a) For the first full year after the Effective Date of this Agreement (i) the size of the Board shall be eight (8) directors, unless H. Cartwright, Conte, X. Xxxxxxxxxx and RMCF each agree, in writing, otherwise.

(b) After the first full year after the Effective Date of this Agreement the Board cannot be increased to more than eight (8) directors, unless otherwise consented to in writing by RMCF.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Shares” shall mean and include any securities of the Company the holders of which are entitled to vote for members of the Board, including without limitation, all shares of Common Stock, by whatever name called, now owned or subsequently acquired by, a Shareholder, however acquired, whether through stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, recapitalizations, similar events or otherwise.

1.2. Board Composition.

(a) For the first full year after the Effective Date of this Agreement each Shareholder agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares owned by such Shareholder, or over which such Shareholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that at each annual or special meeting of shareholders at which an election of directors is held or pursuant to any written consent of the shareholders, so that the following situation exists: X. Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx and X. Xxxxxxxxxx are directors on Board, unless they all agree, in writing, to their removal from the Board. Either or all individuals may, however, voluntarily resign from the Board.

(b) For so long as RMCF or one of its Affiliates continues to own beneficially shares constituting at least ten percent (10%) of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding at any given time, each Shareholder agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares owned by such Shareholder, or over which such Shareholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that at each annual or special meeting of shareholders at which an election of directors is held or pursuant to any written consent of the shareholders, the RMCF Designees, which individuals shall initially be Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, Xxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xx. Xxxxx and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxxx, shall be elected to the Board. “RMCF Designees” means those persons designated to the Board by RMCF, the number of which shall not be less than a majority of the Board when aggregated with any director nominees who are nominated by any of RMCF’s subsidiaries or parent company.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, an individual, firm, corporation, partnership, association, limited liability company, trust or any other entity (collectively, a “Person”) shall be deemed an “Affiliate” of another Person who, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, including, without limitation, any general partner, managing member, officer or director of such Person.

1.3. Failure to Designate a Board Member. In the absence of any designation from RMCF as specified above, the director previously designated by RMCF and then serving shall be reelected if still eligible to serve as provided herein.

1.4. Removal of Board Members. In the event that the Shareholders are requested to vote on any matter with respect to Board composition, each Shareholder also agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares owned by such Shareholder, or over which such Shareholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that:

(a) no director elected pursuant to Sections 1.2 or 1.3 of this Agreement may be removed from office unless (i) such removal is directed or approved by RMCF or (ii) RMCF is no longer entitled to designate or approve such director;

(b) any vacancies created by the resignation, removal or death of a director elected pursuant to Sections 1.2 or 1.3 shall be filled pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1; and

1.5. Written Consents. All Shareholders agree to execute any written consents required to perform the obligations of this Agreement, and the Company agrees at the request of RMCF, X. Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx or X. Xxxxxxxxxx, or any other party entitled to designate directors to call a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing directors.

1.6. No Liability for Election of Recommended Directors. Neither RMCF, any of RMCF’s Affiliates, X. Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx nor X. Xxxxxxxxxx shall have any liability as a result of designating a Person for election as a director for any act or omission by such designated Person in his or her capacity as a director of the Company, nor shall any Shareholder have any liability as a result of voting for any such designee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

2. Remedies.

2.1. Covenants of the Company. The Company agrees to use its best efforts, within the requirements of applicable law, to ensure that the rights granted under this Agreement are effective and that the parties enjoy the benefits of this Agreement. Such actions include, without limitation, the use of the Company’s best efforts to cause the nomination and election of the directors as provided in this Agreement.

2.2. Irrevocable Proxy and Power of Attorney. Each of the Shareholders hereby constitutes and appoints as its proxy and hereby grants a power of attorney to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and a designee of RMCF, and each of them, with full power of substitution, with respect to the matters set forth herein, including without limitation, election of persons as members of the Board in accordance with Section 1 hereto, and hereby authorizes each of them to represent and to vote, if and only if such Shareholder (i) fails to vote for the election of one or more directors of the Company or (ii) attempts to vote (whether by proxy, in person or by written consent), in a manner which is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, all of such Shareholder’s Shares in favor of the election of persons as members of the Board determined pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Each of the proxy and power of attorney granted pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is given in consideration of the agreements and covenants of the Company and the parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, as such, each is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable unless and until the earliest of (a) seven (7) years after the date of this Agreement, (b) the date that this Agreement terminates or expires pursuant to Section 3 hereof, and (c) the date that RMCF is no longer entitled to designate any directors pursuant to this Agreement. Each party hereto hereby revokes any and all previous proxies or powers of attorney with respect to the Shares and shall not hereafter, unless and until this Agreement terminates or expires pursuant to Section 3 hereof, purport to grant any other proxy or power of attorney with respect to any of the Shares, deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust or enter into any agreement (other than this Agreement), arrangement or understanding with any person, directly or indirectly, to vote, grant any proxy or give instructions with respect to the voting of any of the Shares, in each case, with respect to any of the matters set forth herein. In the event that this Agreement has not terminated at such time as the proxy and power of attorney granted by this Section 2.2 expires, each of the Shareholders and RMCF shall negotiate in good faith to grant a new proxy and power of attorney in substantially similar form and substance.

2.3. Specific Enforcement. Each Shareholder and the Company acknowledge and agree as follows:

(a) X. Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx and X. Xxxxxxxxxx will be irreparably damaged in the event the provisions of Sections 1.1 or 1.2 of this Agreement, and/or Section 1.5 if related to Section 1.2, are not performed by the parties in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, it is agreed that X. Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx and X. Xxxxxxxxxx shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches of Sections 1.1 or 1.2, and/or Section 1.5 if related to Section 1.2, of this Agreement, and to specific enforcement of those provisions of this Agreement in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state having subject matter jurisdiction.

(b) RMCF will be irreparably damaged in the event any of the provisions of Sections 1.1 through 1.4 this Agreement, and/or Section 1.5 if related to Sections 1.1 through 1.4, are not performed by the parties in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, it is agreed that RMCF shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches of Sections 1.1 through 1.4 this Agreement, and/or Section 1.5 if related to Sections 1.1 through 1.4 of this Agreement, and to specific enforcement of those provisions of this Agreement in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state having subject matter jurisdiction.

2.4. Remedies Cumulative. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

3. Term. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof and shall continue in effect until and shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.8 below; or (b) the date that is fifteen (15) years after the date hereof.

4. Miscellaneous.

4.1. Transfers. Each transferee or assignee of any Shares subject to this Agreement shall continue to be subject to the terms hereof, and, as a condition precedent to the Company’s recognizing such transfer, each transferee or assignee shall agree in writing to be subject to each of the terms of this Agreement by executing and delivering an Adoption Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Upon the execution and delivery of an Adoption Agreement by any transferee, such transferee shall be deemed to be a party hereto as if such transferee were the transferor and such transferee’s signature appeared on the signature pages of this Agreement and shall be deemed to be a Shareholder. The Company shall not permit the transfer of the Shares subject to this Agreement on its books or issue a new certificate representing any such Shares unless and until such transferee shall have complied with the terms of this Section 4.1. Each certificate representing the Shares subject to this Agreement if issued on or after the date of this Agreement shall be endorsed by the Company with the legend set forth in Section 4.12.

4.2. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

4.3. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

4.4. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being understood that all parties hereto need not sign the same counterpart. Any such counterpart shall be effective as a counterpart signature page hereto without regard to page, document or version numbers or other identifying information thereon, which are for convenience of reference only. The parties hereto may sign this Agreement in the original, or by facsimile (sent via e-mail or facsimile, or by any other generally acceptable electronic means).

4.5. Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

4.6. Notices. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of actual receipt or: (a) personal delivery to the party to be notified; (b) when sent, if sent by facsimile or e-mail during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not sent during normal business hours, then on the recipient’s next business day; in either situation provided that the recipient has notified the sending party of his/her/its facsimile and/or e-mail address and not thereafter informed the sending party not to send notices by facsimile and/or e-mail; (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (d) upon receipt if sent by courier. All communications shall be sent to the respective parties at their address as set forth on the signature page of this Agreement, or if applicable, on an Adoption Agreement; or to such other address as any party provides to the other parties by notice given in accordance with this Section 4.6.

4.7. Consent Required to Amend, Terminate or Waive. This Agreement may be amended or terminated only by a written instrument executed by (a) the Company; (b) the Shareholders holding fifty percent (50%) of the Shares; (c) RMCF; and (d) during the first year after the Effective Date, also by X. Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx and X. Xxxxxxxxxx. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision hereof may be waived by a party by a written waiver signed by that party, or if an entity, on behalf of that entity, without the consent of any other party. The Company shall give prompt written notice of any amendment, termination or waiver hereunder to any party that did not consent in writing thereto. Any amendment, termination or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 4.8 shall be binding on each party and all of such party’s successors and permitted assigns, whether or not any such party, successor or assignee entered into or approved such amendment, termination or waiver. For purposes of this Section 4.8 the requirement of a written instrument may be satisfied in the form of an action by written consent of the Shareholders circulated by the Company and executed by the Shareholder parties specified, provided that it makes explicit reference to this Agreement.

4.8. Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default previously or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

4.9. Remedies. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

4.10. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

4.11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto) contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into this Agreement.

4.12. Legend on Share Certificates. Each certificate representing any Shares transferred pursuant to Section 4.1 above after the Effective Date of this Agreement shall be endorsed by the Company with a legend reading substantially as follows:

(a) “THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A VOTING AGREEMENT, AS MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME (A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FROM THE COMPANY), AND BY ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES THE PERSON ACCEPTING SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THAT VOTING AGREEMENT, INCLUDING CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP SET FORTH THEREIN.”

The Company, by its execution of this Agreement, agrees that it will cause the certificates evidencing the Shares transferred pursuant to Section 4.1 above after the Effective Date of this Agreement to bear the legend required by this Section 4.12 of this Agreement, and it shall supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement to any holder of a certificate evidencing Shares upon written request from such holder to the Company at its principal office. The parties to this Agreement do hereby agree that the failure to cause the certificates evidencing the Shares to bear the legend required by this Section 4.12 herein and/or the failure of the Company to supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement as provided hereunder shall not affect the validity or enforcement of this Agreement.

4.13. Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc. In the event of any issuance of Shares of the Company’s voting securities hereafter to any of the Shareholders (including, without limitation, in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, or the like), such Shares shall become subject to this Agreement and shall be endorsed with the legend set forth in Section 4.12.

4.14. Manner of Voting. The voting of Shares pursuant to this Agreement may be effected in person, by proxy, by written consent or in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

4.15. Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the parties agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of any other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as the other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder.

4.16. Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEVADA. THE COMPANY AND THE PURCHASER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE STATE OF COLORADO FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR THE PURCHASER HEREUNDER, IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED HEREIN AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR THE PURCHASER, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, OR THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER. THE COMPANY AND THE PURCHASER HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

4.17. Aggregation of Stock. All Shares held or acquired by a Shareholder and/or its Affiliates shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement, and such Affiliated persons may apportion such rights as among themselves in any manner they deem appropriate.

4.18. Spousal Consent. If any individual Shareholder is married on the date of this Agreement, such Shareholder’s spouse shall execute and deliver to the Company a consent of spouse in the form of Exhibit B hereto (“Consent of Spouse”), effective on the date hereof.

If any individual Shareholder should marry or remarry subsequent to the date of this Agreement, such Shareholder shall within thirty (30) days thereafter obtain his/her new spouse’s acknowledgement of and consent to the existence and binding effect of all restrictions contained in this Agreement by causing such spouse to execute and deliver a Consent of Spouse acknowledging the restrictions and obligations contained in this Agreement and agreeing and consenting to the same.
