If for any reason the Distribution has not been consummated in accordance with all applicable legal requirements within 24 months of the date of this Agreement, then and in such event the Trustee shall be authorized to sell the Founders Shares in any manner that the Trustee may determine, in his sole judgment, to be commercially reasonable.

In each event, the method, manner, time, place and terms of such sale or other disposition shall be determined by the Trustee.

|||
|
6. |
Termination Procedure. |
|||
|
(a) |
Upon the termination of this Agreement at any time, as hereinafter provided, the Trustee, at such time as he/it may choose during the period commencing 20 days before and ending 20 days after such termination, shall mail written notice of such termination to the registered owners of the Trust Interests, at the addresses appearing on the Trustee's transfer books. After the date specified in any such notice (which date shall be fixed by the Trustee), the Trust Interests shall cease to have any effect, and their holders shall have no further rights under this Agreement other than to receive certificates for Founders Shares or other property distributable under the terms hereof and upon the surrender of Trust Certificates, if issued. |
|||
|
(b) |
Within 30 days after the termination of this Agreement, the Trustee shall deliver, to the registered holders of all Trust Interests, (i) certificates for the number of Founders Shares represented thereby, upon the surrender thereof properly endorsed, such delivery to be made in each case at the Trustee's office; or (ii) payment in an amount equal to the registered holder' pro rata share of the net proceeds payable from the sale of the Founders Shares. |
|||
|
(c) |
At any time subsequent to 30 days after the termination of this Agreement, the Trustee may deposit with the Company stock certificates representing the number of Founders Shares represented by the Trust Interests then outstanding, with authority in writing to the Company to deliver such stock certificates in exchange for Trust Interests representing a like number of Founders Shares. Upon such deposit all further liability of the Trustee for the delivery of such stock certificates and the delivery or payment of dividends shall cease, and the Trustee shall not be required to take any further action hereunder. |
|||
|
7. |
Dividends. |
|||
|
(a) |
Prior to the termination of this Agreement, the holder of each Trust Interest shall be entitled to receive payments equal to the cash dividends, if any, received by the Trustee upon a like number and class of shares of the Company's capital stock as is called for by each such Trust Interest. If any dividend in respect of the stock deposited with the Trustee is paid, in whole or in part, in the Company's stock having general voting powers, the Trustee shall likewise hold, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the certificates for stock which are received by him on account of such dividend. The holder of each Trust Interest representing stock on which such stock dividend has been paid shall be entitled to receive a Trust Interest issued under this Agreement for the number of shares and class of stock received as such dividend with respect to the shares represented by such Trust Interest. Holders entitled to receive the dividends described above shall be those registered as such on the Trustee's transfer books at the close of business on the day fixed by the Company for the taking of a record to determine those holders of its stock entitled to receive such dividends, or if the Trustee has fixed a date, as hereinafter in this paragraph provided, for the purpose of determining the holders of Trust Interests entitled to receive such payment or distribution, then registered as such at the close of business on the date so fixed by the Trustee. |
|||
|
(b) |
If any dividend in respect of the stock deposited with the Trustee is paid other than in cash or in capital stock having general voting powers, then the Trustee shall distribute the same among the holders of Trust Interests registered as such at the close of business on the day fixed by the Trustee for taking a record to determine the holders of Trust Interests entitled to receive such distribution. Such distribution shall be made to such holders of Trust Interests ratably, in accordance with the number of shares represented by their respective Trust Interests. |
|||
|
(c) |
The Trustee may temporarily close its transfer books for a period not exceeding 20 days preceding the date fixed for the payment or distribution of dividends or the distribution of assets or rights, or at any other time in the Trustee's discretion. In lieu of providing for the closing of the books against the transfer of Trust Interests, the Trustee may fix a date not exceeding 20 days preceding any date fixed by the Company for the payment or distribution of dividends, or for the distribution of assets or rights, as a record date for the determination of the holders of Trust Interests entitled to receive such payment or distribution. The holders of Trust Interests of record at the close of business on such date shall exclusively be entitled to participate in such payments or distribution. |
|||
|
(d) |
In lieu of receiving cash dividends upon the capital stock of the Company and paying the same to the holders of Trust Interests pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee may instruct the Company in writing to pay such dividends to the holders of the Trust Interests. Upon receipt of such written instructions, the Company shall pay such dividends directly to the holders of the Trust Interests. Upon such instructions being given by the Trustee to the Company, and until revoked by the Trustee, all liability of the Trustee with respect to such dividends shall cease. The Trustee may at any time revoke such instructions and by written notice to the Company direct it to make dividend payments to the Trustee. |
|||
|
8. |
Subscription Rights. If any stock or other securities of the Company are offered for subscription to the holders of its capital stock deposited hereunder, the Trustee, promptly upon receipt of notice of such offer, shall mail a copy thereof to each holder of the Trust Interests. Upon receipt by the Trustee, at least five days prior to the last day fixed by the Company for subscription and payment, of a request from any such registered holder of Trust Interests to subscribe in his behalf, accompanied with the sum of money required to pay for such stock or securities (not in excess of the amount subject to subscription in respect of the shares represented by the Trust Interest held by such certificate holder), the Trustee shall make such subscription and payment. Upon receiving from the Company the certificates for shares or securities so subscribed for, the Trustee shall issue to such holder a Trust Interest in respect thereof if the shares or securities received have general voting powers. If, however, the shares or securities do not have general voting powers, the Trustee shall mail or deliver such securities to the certificate holder in whose behalf the subscription was made, or may instruct the Company to make delivery directly to the certificate holder entitled thereto. |
|||
|
9. |
Dissolution of Company. In the event of the dissolution or total or partial liquidation of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Trustee shall receive the moneys, securities, rights, or property to which the holders of the Company's capital stock deposited hereunder are entitled, and shall distribute the same among the registered holders of Trust Interests in proportion to their interests, as shown by the books of the Trustee. Alternatively, the Trustee may in his discretion deposit such moneys, securities, rights, or property with any Federally insured bank or trust company doing business in Boulder, Colorado, with authority and instructions to distribute the same as above provided, and upon such deposit all further obligations or liabilities of the Trustee in respect of such moneys, securities, rights, or property so deposited shall cease. |
|||
|
10. |
Reorganization of Company. If the Company is merged into or consolidated with another corporation, or all or substantially all of its assets are transferred to another corporation, then in connection with such transfer the term "Company" for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to include such successor corporation, and the Trustee shall receive and hold under this Agreement any stock of such successor corporation received on account of the ownership, as Trustee hereunder, of the stock held hereunder prior to such merger, consolidation, and transfer. Trust Certificates issued and outstanding under this Agreement at the time of such merger, consolidation, or transfer may remain outstanding, or the Trustee may, in his discretion, substitute for such Trust Certificates new Trust Certificates in appropriate form, and the terms "stock" and "capital stock" as used herein shall be taken to include any stock which may be received by the Trustee in lieu of all or any part of the Company's capital stock. |
|||
|
11. |
Powers of Trustee. |
|||
|
(a) |
Until the actual delivery to the holders of Trust Interests issued hereunder of stock certificates in exchange therefor, and until the surrender of any issued and outstanding Trust Certificates for cancellation, the Trustee shall have the right, subject to the provisions of this paragraph hereinafter set forth, to exercise, in person or by his nominees or proxies, all stockholders' voting rights and powers in respect of all stock deposited hereunder, and to take part in or consent to any corporate or stockholders' action of any kind whatsoever. The right to vote shall include the right to vote for the election of directors, and in favor of or against any resolution or proposed action of any character whatsoever, which may be presented at any meeting or require the consent of the Company's stockholders. Without limiting such general right, it is understood that such action or proceeding may include, upon terms satisfactory to the Trustee or to his nominees or proxies thereto appointed by him, mortgaging, creating a security interest in, and pledging of all or any part of the Company's property, the lease or sale of all or any part of its property, for cash, securities, or other property, and the dissolution of the Company, or its consolidation, merger, reorganization, or recapitalization. |
|||
|
(b) |
In voting the stock held by him hereunder either in person or by his nominees or proxies, the Trustee shall exercise his best judgment to select suitable directors of the Company, and shall otherwise, insofar as he/it may as a stockholder of the Company, take such part or action in respect to the management of its affairs as he/it may deem necessary so as to be kept advised on the affairs of the Company and its management. In voting upon any matter that may come before him at any stockholders' meeting, the Trustee shall exercise like judgment. The Trustee, however, shall not be personally liable for any action taken pursuant to his vote or any act committed or omitted to be done under this Agreement, provided that such commission or omission does not amount to willful misconduct on his part and that he/it at all times exercises good faith in such matters. |
|||
|
12. |
Transfer of Trust Shares. |
|||
|
(a) |
In the event any Trust Interest holder transfers all or part of the Trust Shares relating to his, her, or its Trust Interest to an Affiliate (as defined below) of the transferor, or to a person who immediately prior to the transfer is a holder of Trust Interests, then upon the Trustee's receipt of a duly-endorsed Trust Interest specifying the number of Trust Shares being transferred, the Trustee shall record the issuance to such transferee of the Trust Interests representing such transferee's interest in the transferred Trust Shares, and if requested to do so shall issue to such transferor one or more new Trust Certificates representing the untransferred Trust Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Affiliate" shall mean and include all of the following: |
|||
|
(i) |

|||
| Each party hereto agrees that any transfer of Trust Interests shall be in accordance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. | ||||
|
(b) |
In the event any Trust Interest holder proposes to transfer all or part of the Trust Shares underlying his, her or its Trust Interest in a bona fide sale or charitable gift to a person who is not an Affiliate of the transferor, and who immediately prior to the transfer is not a holder of Trust Interests, then upon the Trustee's receipt of a duly executed assignment of Trust Interest specifying the number of Trust Shares being transferred and a statement in reasonable detail describing the terms of the proposed transfer and the transferor's certificate that the proposed transferee is not an Affiliate, the Trustee shall cause to be recorded the issuance to such transferee of the Trust Interest so transferred, and shall upon written request issue to such transferor one or more new Trust Certificates representing the untransferred Trust Shares. Such transferee shall take the transferred Trust Shares free from the provisions of this Agreement. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any sale or transfer of Trust Shares pursuant to this Section 12(b) shall be in accordance with applicable federal and state laws. |
|||
|
(c) |
Upon termination of this Agreement and the Trust created herein, each holder of a Trust Certificate shall surrender to the then acting Trustee all of such holder's Trust Certificates, duly-endorsed for transfer.

The Trustee may consult with counsel of his or her choice, and shall have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken or suffered by the Trustee under this Agreement in food faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel. |
