SECTION 1

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The Company proposes to issue and sell 1,000,000 Units (the “Units”) of the Company’s securities, each Unit comprising one share (the “Shares”) of its Common Stock and one Common Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant (“Warrants”). In addition, the Company proposes to grant to the Underwriter an option to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of One Hundred Fifty Thousand (150,000) additional Units consisting of 150,000 shares of Common Stock and 150,000 Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants, solely for covering over-allotments, if any.  The Company hereby appoints the Underwriter as its exclusive agent to sell the Units, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, on a “best efforts, all or none” basis.

Each Warrant may be exercised for a period of three years from the Effective Date (as defined below) to purchase one share (a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $4.50 per share.  The Company shall have the right, at any time, to call each of the Redeemable Warrants for redemption upon not less than thirty days' prior written notice at any time at a redemption price of $.02 per Redeemable Warrant (the "Redemption Price"), subject to adjustment, provided that the closing sale price of the Common Stock on any national securities exchange, or Closing Bid Price, has equaled or exceeded 125% of the then effective exercise price of the warrants for at least fifteen (15) of twenty (20) business days ending on the third day prior to the date notice of redemption is given (the "Redemption Date").  Any outstanding warrants following the Redemption Date will be deprived of any value except the right to receive the Redemption Price of $.02 per Warrant.  

The Company proposes to issue and sell to the Underwriter and its designees on the Closing Date (hereinafter defined) for an aggregate purchase price of $1,500, warrants (“Underwriter’s Warrants”) to purchase up to 150,000 Units. The Underwriter’s Warrants shall be exercisable at $4.20 per share.

SECTION 2

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

In order to induce the Underwriter to enter into this Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants to and agrees with the Underwriter that:

2.1.    Registration Statement and Prospectus. A registration statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 33-                )has been prepared by the Company in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) thereunder, and said registration statement has been filed with the Commission. Copies of such registration statement and any amendments, and all forms of the related prospectuses contained therein, have been delivered to the Underwriter. Such registration statement, including the prospectus, Part II, and financial schedules and exhibits thereto, as amended at the time when it shall become effective, is herein referred to as the “Registration Statement,” and the prospectus included as part of the Registration Statement on file with the Commission when it shall become effective or, if the procedure in Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations (as defined below) under the Securities Act is followed, the prospectus that discloses all the information that was omitted from the prospectus on the effective date pursuant to such Rule, and in either case, together with any changes contained in any prospectus filed with the Commission by the Company with your consent after the effective date of the Registration Statement, is herein referred to as the “Final Prospectus.” If the procedure in Rule 430A is followed, the prospectus included as part of the Registration Statement on the date when the Registration Statement became effective is referred to herein as the “Effective Prospectus.” Any prospectus included in the Registration Statement and in any amendments thereto prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement is referred to herein as a “Preliminary Prospectus.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Rules and Regulations” mean the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission under the Securities Act.

Included in the Registration Statement are the Units; the Shares; the Warrants; the Shares and Warrants contained in the Underwriter’s Warrants; and the shares of Common Stock reserved against exercise of the Warrants and the Underwriter’s Warrants. As used in this Agreement, the term “Effective Date” refers to the date the Commission declares the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Section 8 of the Securities Act.

2.2.    Accuracy of Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Commission has not issued any order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus with respect to the Units, and each Preliminary Prospectus has conformed in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations and to the best of the Company’s knowledge has not included at the time of filing any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; except that the foregoing shall not apply to statements in or omissions from any Preliminary Prospectus in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter, or from any Underwriter through the Underwriter, specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

When the Registration Statement becomes effective and on the Closing Date (hereinafter defined), the Registration Statement, the Effective Prospectus (and on the Closing Date, the Final Prospectus) will contain all statements which are required to be stated therein in accordance with the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations. No such document will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; except that the foregoing does not apply to information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Effective Prospectus or Final Prospectus in reliance upon written information furnished by the Underwriter, or by any Underwriter through the Underwriter, specifically for use in the preparation thereof. The Company will not at any time hereafter file any amendments to the Registration Statement or in accordance with Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations of which the Underwriter shall not have been previously advised in advance of filing or to which the Underwriter shall reasonably object in writing.

2.3.    Financial Statements.

2.5.    No Defaults. Other than as disclosed in the Effective Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, the Company is not in any default (which has not been waived) in the performance of any obligation, agreement or condition contained in any debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or any indenture or loan agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, the articles of incorporation, as amended, or by-laws of the Company; any note, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound, other than for which the Company has received a consent or waiver of such conduct, breach or default or except where such default would not have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company; or any existing law, order, rule, regulation, writ, injunction, or decree of any government, governmental instrumentality, agency or body, arbitration tribunal or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or its property.

Escrow Account” with ___________ Bank and Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent”). The agreement establishing the Escrow Account (“Escrow Agreement”) shall be in form and content satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriter and the Company. The proceeds from any sale of Units after the First Closing (hereinafter defined) will be deposited into a separate account at the Escrow Agent that will require the signature of the Company and the Underwriter to release funds. Unless 1,000,000 Units are sold and paid for by Investors by the Sales Termination Date, this Agreement shall automatically be terminated and the entire proceeds received from the sale of the Units shall be returned to the Investors, without deduction therefrom or interest thereon.

The Company shall not be obligated to sell and deliver the Underwriter’s Warrants, and the Underwriter will not be obligated to purchase and pay for the Underwriter’s Warrants, except upon payment for the Units pursuant to Subsection 3.3.1 hereof.

The Underwriter’s Warrants shall be non-transferable for a period of one (1) year following the Effective Date except to the Underwriter and its respective officers or partners. The Underwriter’s Warrants shall also contain anti-dilution provisions for stock splits, recombinations, and reorganizations, a one-time demand registration provision, customary piggyback registration rights, and shall otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriter. The Underwriter’s Warrants will be exercisable during the four year period commencing one (1) year after the Effective Date.

3.7.    Expenses.

The Underwriter’s expenses shall include, but are not to be limited to, a fee to compensate the Underwriter for the services and time of Underwriter’s counsel (internal and external), plus any additional expenses and fees, including but not limited to, travel expenses, postage expenses, duplication expenses, confirmation and other record preparation expenses, long-distance telephone expenses, consultant and investigator expenses and other expenses incurred by the Underwriter in connection with the proposed offering.

The Company shall also promptly notify the Underwriter, and confirm such notice in writing, when the Company has knowledge of the issuance by the Commission of an order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 8 of the Securities Act, suspending or preventing the use of any Preliminary Prospectus or the Effective Prospectus or Final Prospectus or suspending the qualification of the Units for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the institution of any proceedings for any such purpose. The Company will use every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or refusing or suspending the qualification of the Units, and to obtain as soon as possible a lifting of any such suspension order, the reversal of any such refusal to qualify, and the termination of any such suspension.

5.3    Preparation and Filing of Amendments and Supplements. The Company agrees to prepare and file promptly with the Commission, upon request of the Underwriter, such amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Final Prospectus, in form satisfactory to counsel to the Company, as may be necessary, in the opinion of counsel to the Underwriter and of counsel to the Company; and it shall use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective as promptly as possible.

All such reports will include a balance sheet as of the end of the preceding fiscal year, a statement of operations, a statement of cash flows and an analysis of shareholders’ equity covering such fiscal year, and all will be in reasonable detail and certified by independent public accountants for the Company. These requirements will be satisfied if the Company provides to the Underwriter copies of its Forms 10-K, Forms 10-Q and Forms 8-K (or other appropriate forms) when they are filed with the Commission.

If the Company shall fail to furnish the Underwriter with financial statements as herein provided, within the times specified herein, the Underwriter, after giving reasonable notice of not less than 30 days (and if the financial statements are not provided within such 30 day period), shall have the right to have such financial statements prepared by independent public accountants of its own choosing and the Company agrees to furnish such independent public accountants such data and assistance and access to such records as they may reasonably require to enable them to prepare such statements and to pay their reasonable fees and expenses in preparing the same.

5.9.    Section 11(a) Financials. The Company will make generally available to its security holders and will deliver to the Underwriter, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (as to which no opinion need be rendered but which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the Effective Date. Compliance by the Company with Rule 158 promulgated under the Securities Act shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 5.9.

5.10.    Post-Effective Availability of Prospectus. The Company will comply, at its own expense, with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act, as now or hereafter amended, by the Rules and Regulations, as from time to time may be in force, and by any order of the Commission, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales or dealings in the Units and the Warrants and the exercise of the Warrants.

5.11.    Application of Proceeds. The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Units substantially in the manner specifically set forth in the Final Prospectus. Any deviation from such application must be in accordance with the Final Prospectus and may occur only after approval by the board of directors of the Company and then only after the board of directors has obtained the written opinion as to the propriety of any such deviation provided by recognized legal counsel well versed in the federal and state securities laws.

5.12.    Agreements of Certain Shareholders. The Company will deliver to the Underwriter, prior to the execution of this Agreement, the agreement of each officer, director, and five percent (1%) or greater shareholder, that for a period of 180 days from the Effective Date such persons shall not sell, contract to sell, pledge, hypothecate, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of any portion of the shares of Common Stock owned directly, indirectly or beneficially by such person prior to the Effective Date, without the Underwriter’s prior written consent, except for sales occuring more than 90 days after the Effective Date, which sales do not, in the aggregate, exceed 10% of such person’s holding and each of which sales is at a price of not less than 150% of the public offering price.

5.15.    Appointment of Transfer Agent. The Company has appointed Computer Share Investor Services, as Transfer Agent for the Common Stock, subject to the closing of the offering. The Company will not change or terminate such appointment for a period of three years from the Effective Date without first obtaining the written consent of the Underwriter, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

For a period of three years after the Effective Date, the Underwriter, at the Underwriter’s expense, will have the right to have a person or persons selected by the Underwriter review the books and records of the Company upon seven days’ written notice and at reasonable times. Such person or persons will be required to execute a confidentiality agreement which will, in part, prohibit disclosure of information to any party except the Underwriter, which information shall be held in confidence unless otherwise specifically agreed to by the Company in writing.

5.23.    Outside Directors, Committees, Executive Compensation. The Company shall use its best efforts to have at least two members elected to its board of directors who are not officers or employees of the Company (“outside directors”) on the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, and to cause two such outside directors to be nominated as directors for two additional one-year terms.

SECTION 6

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

6.1.    Indemnification by Company. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any and all loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, or liability (or action with respect thereto) arises out of or is based upon (a) any violation of any registration requirements; (b) any improper use of sales literature by the Company; (c) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement made by the Company in Section 2 hereof; (d) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Effective Prospectus, or the Final Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) in any application or other document, executed by the Company specifically for such application or based upon written information furnished by the Company, filed in order to qualify the Units under the securities laws of the states where filings were made (any such application, document, or information being hereinafter called “Blue Sky Application”); or (e) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Effective Prospectus, or the Final Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and shall reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other reasonable expenses incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, notwithstanding the possibility that payments for such expenses might later be held to be improper, in which case the person receiving them shall promptly refund them; except that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through the Underwriter by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for use in the preparation of the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Effective Prospectus and the Final Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Blue Sky Application.,

6.2.    Indemnification by Underwriters. Each Underwriter severally, but not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, to which the Company may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action in respect thereto) arises out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Effective Prospectus or the Final Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) in any Blue Sky Application; or (b) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Effective Prospectus or the Final Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; except that such indemnification shall be available in each such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon information and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through the Underwriter or on behalf of such Underwriter specifically for use in the preparation thereof; and shall reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with the investigation or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action.

6.3.    Right to Provide Defense. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 6.1 or 6.2 above of written notice of the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability which it may have to an indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party did not otherwise have knowledge of the commencement of the action and the indemnifying party’s ability to defend against the action was prejudiced by such failure. Such failure shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any other liability which it may have to the indemnified party or any person identified in Section 6.4 below. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under such section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; except that the Underwriter shall have the right to employ counsel to represent the Underwriter and those other Underwriters who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Underwriters against the Company under such section if, in the Underwriter’s reasonable judgment, it is advisable for the Underwriter and those Underwriters to be represented by separate counsel, and in that event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Company.

6.4.    Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of this Agreement is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities referred to in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 above (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Units; or (b) if the allocation provided by clause (a) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Underwriters shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and un-itemized expenses received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Final Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Underwriter and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. For purposes of this Section 6.4, the term “damages” shall include any counsel fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or the Underwriters in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of the contribution provisions of this Section 6.4. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.4, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Units underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue statements or omissions. No person adjudged guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Under this Section 6.4, each Underwriter’s obligations to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.  Each party entitled to contribution agrees that upon the service of a summons or other initial legal process upon it in any action instituted against it in respect of which contribution may be sought, it shall promptly give written notice of such service to the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify such party or parties of any such service shall not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it may have hereunder or otherwise (except as specifically provided in Section 6.4 hereof).

6.5.    Extension of Obligations. The obligations of the Company under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any other liability which the Company may otherwise have, and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section shall be in addition to any liability that the respective Underwriters may otherwise have, and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Company (including any person who, with his consent, is named in the Registration Statement as about to become a director of the Company), to each officer of the Company who has signed the Registration Statement, and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act.

6.6.    Reimbursement of Underwriters. In addition to its obligations under Section 6.1 of this Agreement, the Company agrees that, as an interim measure during the pendency of any claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding arising out of or based upon any loss, claim, damage, or liability described in Section 6.1 of this Agreement, it will reimburse the Underwriters, and each of them, on a monthly basis (or more often, if requested) for all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding, notwithstanding the absence of a judicial determination as to the propriety and enforceability of the Company’s obligation to reimburse the Underwriters for such expenses and the possibility that such payments might later be held to have been improper by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that any portion, or all, of any such interim reimbursement payments are so held to have been improper, the Underwriters receiving the same shall promptly return such amounts to the Company together with interest, compounded daily, determined on the basis of the prime rate (or other commercial lending rate for borrowers of the highest credit rating) announced from time to time by Norwest Bank of Denver, Denver, Colorado (the “Prime Rate”). Any such interim reimbursement payments that are not made to the Underwriters within 30 days of a request for reimbursement shall bear interest at the Prime Rate from the date of such request until the date paid.

6.7.    Reimbursement of the Company. In addition to their obligations under Section 6.2 of this Agreement, the Underwriters agree that, as an interim measure during the pendency of any claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding arising out of or based upon any loss, claim, damage or liability described in Section 6.2 of this Agreement, they will reimburse the Company on a monthly basis (or more often, if requested) for all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding, notwithstanding the absence of a judicial determination as to the propriety and enforceability of the Underwriters’ obligation to reimburse the Company for such expenses and the possibility that such payments might later be held to have been improper by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that any portion, or all, of any such interim reimbursement payments are so held to have been improper, theCompany shall promptly return such amounts to the Underwriters together with interest, compounded daily, determined on the basis of the Prime Rate. Any such interim reimbursement payments that are not made to the Company within 30 days of a request for reimbursement shall bear interest at the Prime Rate from the date of such request until the date paid.

SECTION 7

EFFECTIVENESS OF AGREEMENT

This Agreement shall become effective (a) at 10:00 a.m., Denver time, on the first full business day after the Effective Date, or (b) upon release by the Underwriter of the Units for sale after the Effective Date, whichever shall first occur. The Underwriter shall notify the Company immediately after the Underwriter shall have taken any action, by release or otherwise, whereby this Agreement shall have become effective. For purposes of this Agreement, the release of the initial public offering of the Units for sale to the public shall be deemed to have been made when the Underwriter releases, by telegram or otherwise, firm offers of the Units to securities dealers or release for publication of a newspaper advertisement relating to the Units, whichever occurs first. This Agreement shall, nevertheless, become effective at such time earlier than the time specified above, after the Effective Date, as the Underwriter may determine by notice to the Company.

SECTION 8

CONDITIONS OF THE UNDERWRITERS’ OBLIGATIONS

The obligations of the several Underwriters hereunder to purchase the Units and to make payment to the Company hereunder on the Closing Dates shall be subject to the accuracy, as of the Closing Dates, of each of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company herein contained, to the performance by the Company of all its agreements herein contained, to the fulfillment of or compliance by the Company with all covenants and conditions hereof, and to the following additional conditions:

8.3.    Casualty and Other Calamity.    Since the Effective Date the Company shall not have sustained any loss on account of fire, explosion, flood, accident, calamity or any other cause, of such character as materially adversely affects its business or property considered as an entire entity, whether or not such loss is covered by insurance, and no officer or director of the Company shall have suffered any injury, sickness or disability of a nature which would materially adversely affect his or her ability to properly function as an officer or director of the Company.

(a) The Company has been duly incorporated and validly exists as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has the corporate power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as described in the Registration Statement and Effective Prospectus and the Final Prospectus.

	(b)		The Company is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation authorized to do business in all jurisdictions in which the character of the properties owned or held under lease or the nature of the business conducted requires such qualification except where the failure to qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company.
	(c)		The authorized and outstanding capital stock of the Company is as set forth in the Effective Prospectus and Final Prospectus; the Units, the Common Stock, the Warrants, and the Underwriter’s Warrants conform to the statements concerning them in the Effective Prospectus and Final Prospectus; the outstanding Common Stock of the Company contains no preemptive rights; the Units, the Shares, the Warrants, and the Underwriter’s Warrants have been, and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Underwriter’s Warrants will be, duly and validly authorized and, upon issuance thereof and payment therefor in accordance with this Agreement, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will not be subject to the preemptive rights of any shareholder of the Company.

(d) A sufficient number of shares of Common Stock have been duly reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants and the Underwriter’s Warrants.

(e) To such counsel’s knowledge, no consents, approvals, authorizations or orders of agencies, officers or other regulatory authorities are required for the valid authorization, issuance or sale of the Units, the Shares, the Warrants, and the Underwriter’s Warrants contemplated by this Agreement, except for those consents, approvals, authorizations, and orders which the Company has obtained and which are in full force and effect under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and under ap­plicable state securities laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of such securities by the Underwriters, and the clearance of the underwriting compensation by the NASD.

(f) The issuance and sale of the Units and the Underwriter’s Warrants, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, and the compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions, or provisions of or constitute a default under the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company; nor, to such counsel’s knowledge, will they conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions, or provisions of any note, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its property is bound, other than for which the Company has received a consent or waiver of such conflict, breach or default, or where such conflict or breach would not have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company; or any existing law (provided this paragraph shall not relate to federal or state securities laws), order, rule, regulation, writ, injunc­tion, or decree known to such counsel of any government, governmental in­strumentality, agency, body, arbitration tribunal, or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or its property.

(h) This Agreement has been duly authorized and executed by the Company and is a valid and binding agreement of the Company, except as rights to indemnity hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy and except as enforceability may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy and except as enforceability may be bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting creditors rights generally and by general equitable principles.

(i) The Company is not in default of any of the contracts, licenses, leases or agreements to which it is a party, and the offering and sale of the Units and the Underwriter’s Warrants will not cause the Company to become in default of any of its contracts, licenses, leases or agreements.
