SECTION 3
The Company’s Representations and Warranties
Except as set forth on the schedules delivered separately to the Investor in connection with this Agreement (the “Schedules”), the Company represents and warrants to the Investor as of the Effective Date as follows:
3.1 Organization and Standing. The Company is a corporation duly organized and existing under, and by virtue of, the laws of the State of Colorado and is in good standing under such laws. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate the Company’s properties and assets, and to carry on the Company’s business as presently conducted. The Company is presently qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified would have a Material Adverse Effect. No proceeding has been instituted in any jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing, or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail, such power and authority or qualification. “Material Adverse Effect” shall mean any event, happening, occurrence or development that, individually or in the aggregate, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operations, properties, prospects, assets, liabilities or condition (financial or otherwise).
3.2 Corporate Power. The Company has all requisite legal and corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Transaction Agreements, to sell and issue the Securities in accordance with this Agreement, to issue Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and to carry out and perform the Company’s obligations under the terms of the Transaction Agreements. The Transaction Agreements have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and are valid and binding agreements enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally.
3.3 Subsidiaries. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.3, the Company does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any interest in any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, or other business entity.
3.4 Capitalization.
(a) The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of undesignated stock, of which 12,378,657 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, were issued and outstanding as of March 27, 2006.
(b) The outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
(c) The Company has reserved:
(i) 2,875,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to this Agreement;
(ii) 2,875,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of the Warrant issued pursuant to this Agreement;

The Shares and Warrant Shares are not subject to any preemptive rights or first refusal rights. Neither the offer nor issuance of the Securities constitutes an event under any anti-dilution provisions of any securities issued or issuable by the Company which will either increase the number of shares issuable pursuant to such provisions or decrease the consideration per share to be received by the Company pursuant to such provisions.
(e) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.4(e), there are no outstanding agreements or preemptive or similar rights affecting the Company’s capital stock and no outstanding rights, warrants or options to acquire, or instruments convertible into or exchangeable for, or agreements or understandings with respect to the sale or issuance of any shares of capital stock of the Company.

The Company has no knowledge nor has it received notice that the conduct of the Company’s business as presently conducted materially conflicts with or infringes the Intellectual Property Rights of others. Except for agreements with the Company’s own employees or consultants listed in Schedule 3.9(a) and Material Contracts for standard end-user license agreements, and for support/maintenance agreements and agreements entered in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, there are no material outstanding options, licenses, or agreements relating to the foregoing, and the Company is not bound by or a party to any material options, licenses, or agreements with respect to the Intellectual Property of any other person or entity. The Company has not received any written communication alleging that the Company has violated any of the Intellectual Property of any other person or entity. The Company is not obligated to make any payments by way of royalties, fees, or otherwise to any owner of, licensor of, or claimant to any Intellectual Property with respect to the use of such Intellectual Property in connection with the conduct of the Company’s business as presently conducted. There are no material agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts, judgments, orders, or decrees to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound that involve indemnification by the Company with respect to Intellectual Property infringements (other than indemnification obligations arising from purchase or sale of goods and services or license and other agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business).
(b) No employee is obligated under any contract or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree, or order of any court or administrative agency, that would materially interfere with the use of such employee’s best efforts to promote the Company’s interests or that would conflict with the Company’s business as presently conducted. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the Company employees’ conduct of the Company’s business, nor the Company’s conduct of the Company’s business as presently conducted, will conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions, or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant, or instrument under which any of such employees is now obligated. The Company does not believe that it is or will be necessary to use any inventions of any of the Company’s employees made before their employment by the Company.
(c) Each Company employee has executed a confidential information, non-competition and invention assignment agreement, substantially in the form(s) made available to the Investor (each, a “Confidentiality Agreement”). No employee has excluded from such employee’s Confidentiality Agreement any works or inventions that were made by such employee before such employee’s employment with the Company and that are also relevant to the Company’s business as currently conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Each Company consultant who has had access to the Company’s intellectual property has entered into an agreement containing appropriate confidentiality, non-competition and invention assignment provisions.
3.10 Title to Properties and Assets. The Company has good and marketable title to the Company’s properties and assets, and the Company has good title to all of the Company’s leasehold interests, in each case subject to no material mortgage, pledge, lien, lease, or encumbrance, except for (a) liens for current taxes not yet due and payable, (b) liens imposed by law and incurred in the ordinary course of business for obligations not past due, (c) liens in respect of pledges or deposits under workers’
7
compensation laws or similar legislation, and (d) possible minor liens, encumbrances, and title defects that do not in any case have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of the property subject thereto or have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company’s operations and that have not arisen other than in the ordinary course of the Company’s business.
3.11 No Defaults. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.

8.4 Payment of Fees; Option.
(a) Legal Fees of Investor. The Company shall pay to legal counsel for the Investor all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Investor and its advisors, Whitebox Advisors, LLC (“Whitebox Advisors”), in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and the Registration Statement, including but not limited to any and all fees and expenses related to due diligence or other matters relating to or arising out of any of the foregoing.
(b) Origination Fee; Option to Purchase Additional Securities.
(i) The Company will pay to Whitebox Advisors an origination fee equal to two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price for the Securities sold pursuant to this Agreement (“Origination Fee”). The Origination Fee shall be paid to Whitebox Advisors on the Closing Date by wire transfer to the account so designated by Whitebox Advisors.
(ii) For a period of 180 days from the Closing Date, the Investor will have the option, in its sole discretion, to subscribe for and purchase from the Company an additional 375,000 Shares at a purchase price of $.40 per share and a Warrant to purchase 375,000 Warrant Shares with an exercise price of $.90 per share. Upon subscription for and purchase of such additional Shares and Warrants, the Company will issue and deliver to the Investor, certificates representing the Shares along with a Warrant for the purchase of such Warrant Shares in form of attached hereto as Exhibit B.
(c) Indemnification for Fees. The Company on the one hand, and the Investor on the other hand, agree to indemnify the other against and hold the other harmless from any and all liabilities to any other persons claiming brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or other similar payments, except as specified in Section 8.4(b) above, on account of services purported to have been rendered on behalf of the indemnifying party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and arising out of such party’s actions. Except as set forth in Section 8.4(b) or on Schedule 3.23, the Company represents that there are no other parties entitled to receive fees, commissions, or similar payments in connection with this Agreement.
8.5 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed in all respects by the internal laws of the State of Minnesota as applied to agreements entered into among Minnesota residents to be performed entirely within Minnesota, without regard to Minnesota conflicts-of-law principles.
8.6 Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements made in this Agreement will survive any investigation made by any Party and the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
8.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement, and any and all rights, duties, and obligations under this Agreement, will not be assigned, transferred, delegated, or sublicensed by any Party without the other Party’s prior written consent. Any attempt by any Party without such prior written consent to assign, transfer, delegate, or sublicense any rights, duties, or obligations that arise under this Agreement will be void. Subject to the foregoing and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Parties’ respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators.
8.8 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Agreements constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with regard to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and no Party will be liable or bound to any other Party in any manner with regard to the subject matter hereof
20
or thereof by any warranties, representations, or covenants, in each case except as specifically set forth in the Transaction Agreements.
8.9 Delays or Omissions. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any Party upon any breach or default of any other Party under this Agreement will impair any such right, power, or remedy of such non-defaulting Party, nor will such delay or omission be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence in such breach or default, or of or in any similar breach or default subsequently occurring, nor will any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other previous or subsequent breach or default. 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 will 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, will be cumulative and not alternative.
8.10 Severability. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Investor’s rights under this Agreement and under the other Transaction Agreements are several rights, not rights jointly held with any of the other Investors. If any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, then this Agreement will continue in full force and effect without such illegal, unenforceable, or void provision, and the Parties agree to negotiate, in good faith, a legal and enforceable substitute provision which most nearly effects the Parties’ intent in entering into this Agreement as expressed in this Agreement.
8.11 Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to sections, paragraphs, exhibits, and schedules will, unless otherwise provided, refer to sections and paragraphs of this Agreement and exhibits and schedules attached to this Agreement.
8.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be enforceable against the Parties actually executing such counterparts, and all of which together will constitute one instrument.
8.13 Facsimile Execution and Delivery. A facsimile or other reproduction of this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Agreements may be executed by one or more Parties, and an executed copy of this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Agreements may be delivered by one or more Parties by facsimile or similar electronic transmission device pursuant to which the signature of or on behalf of such Party can be seen, and such execution and delivery will be considered valid, binding, and effective for all purposes. At any Party’s request, all Parties agree to execute an original of this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Agreements as well as any facsimile or other reproduction hereof and/or thereof.
8.14 Jurisdiction and Venue. With respect to any disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or to any other Transaction Agreement, the Parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state courts in Hennepin County, Minnesota (or, in the event of exclusive federal jurisdiction, the federal courts of the District of Minnesota).
8.15 Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to execute and deliver, by the proper exercise of such Party’s corporate, limited liability company, partnership, or other powers, all such other and additional instruments and documents and do all such other acts and things as may be necessary to more fully perform this Agreement.
21
8.16 Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements. If any ambiguity, question of intent, or question of interpretation arises with respect to this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, then this Agreement or that other Transaction Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement or of any other Transaction Agreement. As used in this Agreement and in the other Transaction Agreements, the word “including” means “including, without limitation.”
