Company hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the
Purchasers, except as set forth in the Company's disclosure schedule delivered
with this Agreement as follows:
(a) Organization, Good Standing and Power. The Company is a
corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Colorado and has the requisite corporate power to own,
lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is

2003 and June 30, 2003 (collectively, the "Form 10-QSB"), or on Schedule 2.1(a)
hereto. The Company and each such subsidiary is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in
which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such
qualification necessary except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the
aggregate) in which the failure to be so qualified will not have a Material
Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 2.1(c) hereof) on the Company's financial
condition.
(b) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite
corporate
2
power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, the Registration
Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D (the "Registration Rights

hereto as Exhibit E, the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions (as defined in
Section 3.14), the Certificate of Designation, and the Warrants (collectively,
the "Transaction Documents") and to issue and sell the Shares and the Warrants
in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution, delivery and performance of
the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly
authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no further consent or
authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is
required. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.
The other Transaction Documents will have been duly executed and delivered by
the Company at the Closing. Each of the Transaction Documents constitutes, or
shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of
the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except
as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor's
rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
(c) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company and
the shares thereof currently issued and outstanding as of July 29, 2004 are set
forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto. All of the outstanding shares of the Company's
Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have been duly and validly
authorized. Except as set forth in this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement and as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, no shares of Common Stock
are entitled to preemptive rights or registration rights and there are no
outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, call or
commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights
convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the Company. Furthermore,
except as set forth in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement or
on Schedule 2.1(c), there are no contracts, commitments, understandings, or
arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to issue additional
shares of the capital stock of the Company or options, securities or rights
convertible into shares of capital stock of the Company. Except for customary
transfer restrictions contained in agreements entered into by the Company in
order to sell restricted securities or as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto,
the Company is not a party to any agreement granting registration or
anti-dilution rights to any person with respect to any of its equity or debt
securities. The Company is not a party to, and it has no knowledge of, any
agreement restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock
of the Company. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, the offer and
sale of all capital stock, convertible securities, rights, warrants, or options
of the Company issued prior to the Closing complied with all applicable Federal
and state securities laws, and no stockholder has a right of rescission or claim
for damages with respect thereto which would have a Material Adverse Effect (as
defined below) on the Company's financial condition or operating results. The
Company has furnished or made available to the Purchasers true and correct
copies of the Company's Articles of Incorporation as in effect on the date
hereof (the "Articles"), and the Company's Bylaws as in effect on the date
hereof (the "Bylaws"). For the purposes of this Agreement, "Material Adverse
Effect" means any material adverse effect on the business, operations,
properties, prospects, or financial condition of the Company and its
subsidiaries and/or any condition, circumstance, or situation that would
prohibit or otherwise
3
materially interfere with the ability of the Company to perform any of its
obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.
(d) Issuance of Shares. The Preferred Shares and the Warrants to be
issued at the Closing have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action and the Preferred Shares, when paid for or issued in accordance with the
terms hereof, shall be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
nonassessable and entitled to the rights and preferences set forth in the
Certificate of Designation. When the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares
are issued in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation and
the Warrants, respectively, such shares will be duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
nonassessable, and the holders shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a
holder of Common Stock.
(e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by the Company, the performance by the Company of its
obligations under the Certificate of Designation and the consummation by the
Company of the transactions contemplated herein and therein do not and will not
(i) violate any provision of the Company's Articles or Bylaws, (ii) conflict
with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or
both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of
trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation
to which the Company is a party or by which it or its properties or assets are
bound, (iii) create or impose a lien, mortgage, security interest, charge or
encumbrance of any nature on any property of the Company under any agreement or
any commitment to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound
or by which any of its respective properties or assets are bound, or (iv) result
in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule,
regulation, order, judgment or decree (including Federal and state securities
laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by
which any property or asset of the Company or any of its subsidiaries are bound
or affected, except, in all cases other than violations pursuant to clauses (i)
and (iv) above, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments,
accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The business of the Company and its
subsidiaries is not being conducted in violation of any laws, ordinances or
regulations of any governmental entity, except for possible violations which
singularly or in the aggregate do not and will not have a Material Adverse
Effect. The Company is not required under Federal, state or local law, rule or
regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing
or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to
execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under the Transaction
Documents, or issue and sell the Preferred Shares, the Warrants, the Conversion
Shares and the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof
(other than any filings which may be required to be made by the Company with the
Commission or state securities administrators subsequent to the Closing, any
registration statement which may be filed pursuant hereto, and the Certificate
of Designation); provided that, for purposes of the representation made in this
sentence, the Company is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant
representations and agreements of the Purchasers herein.
(f) Commission Documents, Financial Statements. The Common Stock is
4
registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and, since September 30, 2003, the
Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other
documents required to be filed by it with the Commission pursuant to the
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, including material filed pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (all of the foregoing including
filings incorporated by reference therein being referred to herein as the
"Commission Documents"). The Company has delivered or made available to each of
the Purchasers true and complete copies of the Commission Documents filed with
the Commission since September 30, 2003. The Company has not provided to the
Purchasers any material non-public information or other information which,
according to applicable law, rule or regulation, was required to have been
disclosed publicly by the Company but which has not been so disclosed, other
than with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. At the
times of their respective filings, the Form 10-KSB and the Form 10-QSB complied
in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder and other federal,
state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to such documents, and,
as of their respective dates, none of the Form 10-KSB and the Form 10-QSB
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the Commission
Documents comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting
requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission or other
applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements

or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the
extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary

unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).
(g) Subsidiaries. Schedule 2.1(g) hereto sets forth each subsidiary

and showing the percentage of each person's ownership. For the purposes of this
Agreement, "subsidiary" shall mean any corporation or other entity of which at
least a majority of the securities or other ownership interest having ordinary
voting power (absolutely or contingently) for the election of directors or other
persons performing similar functions are at the time owned directly or
indirectly by the Company and/or any of its other subsidiaries. All of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of each subsidiary have been duly authorized
and validly issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable. There are no
outstanding preemptive, conversion or other rights, options, warrants or
agreements granted or issued by or binding upon any subsidiary for the purchase
or acquisition of any shares of capital stock of any subsidiary or any other
securities convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the rights to

subsidiary is subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase
or otherwise acquire or retire any shares of the capital stock of any subsidiary
or any convertible securities, rights, warrants or options of the type described
in the preceding sentence. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is party to,
nor has any knowledge of, any agreement
5
restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of any

liabilities, obligations, claims or losses (whether liquidated or unliquidated,
secured or unsecured, absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) other than
those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company's or its subsidiaries
respective businesses since September 30, 2003 and which, individually or in the
aggregate, do not or would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or
its subsidiaries.
(j) No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances. Except as set forth on
Schedule 2.1(j) hereto, no event or circumstance has occurred or exists with
respect to the Company or its subsidiaries or their respective businesses,
properties, prospects, operations or financial condition, which, under
applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement
by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed.
(k) Indebtedness. The Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB or Schedule 2.1(k)
hereto sets forth as of a recent date all outstanding secured and unsecured
Indebtedness of the Company or any subsidiary, or for which the Company or any
subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Indebtedness"
shall mean (a) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of
$100,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of
business), (b) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in
respect of Indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be
reflected in the Company's balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except
guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or
similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (c) the present
value of any lease payments in excess of $25,000 due under leases required to be
capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(k),
neither the Company nor any subsidiary is in default with respect to any
Indebtedness.
(l) Title to Assets. Each of the Company and the subsidiaries has
good and marketable title to all of its real and personal property reflected in
the Form 10-KSB, free and clear of any mortgages, pledges, charges, liens,
security interests or other encumbrances, except for those disclosed in the Form
10-KSB, Form 10-QSB or on Schedule 2.1(l) hereto or such that, individually or
in the aggregate, do not cause a Material Adverse Effect on the Company's
financial condition or operating results. All said leases of the Company and
each of its subsidiaries are valid and subsisting and in full force and effect.
(m) Actions Pending. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation,
arbitration, alternate dispute resolution proceeding or any other proceeding
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or
any subsidiary which questions the validity of this Agreement or any of the
other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
or any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Except as set
forth in the Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB or on Schedule 2.1(m) hereto, there is no
action, suit,
6
claim, investigation, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution proceeding or
any other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened,
against or involving the Company, any subsidiary or any of their respective
properties or assets. Except as set forth in the Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB or
Schedule 2.1(m) hereto, there are no outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions,
awards or decrees of any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body
against the Company or any subsidiary or any officers or directors of the
Company or subsidiary in their capacities as such.
(n) Compliance with Law. The business of the Company and the
subsidiaries has been and is presently being conducted in accordance with all
applicable federal, state and local governmental laws, rules, regulations and
ordinances, except as set forth in the Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB, or such that,
individually or in the aggregate, do not cause a Material Adverse Effect. The
Company and each of its subsidiaries have all franchises, permits, licenses,
consents and other governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals
necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it unless
the failure to possess such franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other
governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(o) Taxes. Except as set forth in the Form 10-KSB or in the Form
10-QSB, the Company and each of the subsidiaries has accurately prepared and
filed all federal, state and other tax returns required by law to be filed by
it, has paid or made provisions for the payment of all taxes shown to be due and
all additional assessments, and adequate provisions have been and are reflected
in the financial statements of the Company and the subsidiaries for all current
taxes and other charges to which the Company or any subsidiary is subject and
which are not currently due and payable. None of the federal income tax returns
of the Company or any subsidiary have been audited by the Internal Revenue
Service. The Company has no knowledge of any additional assessments, adjustments
or contingent tax liability (whether federal or state) of any nature whatsoever,
whether pending or threatened against the Company or any subsidiary for any
period, nor of any basis for any such assessment, adjustment or contingency.
(p) Certain Fees. Except as set forth in this Agreement or on
Schedule 2.1(p) hereto, no brokers, finders or financial advisory fees or
commissions will be payable by the Company or any subsidiary or any Purchaser
with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(q) Disclosure. To the best of the Company's knowledge, neither this
Agreement or the Schedules hereto nor any other documents, certificates or
instruments furnished to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company or any
subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements made herein or therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made herein or therein, not
misleading.
(r) Operation of Business. The Company and each of the subsidiaries
owns or possesses all patents, trademarks, domain names (whether or not
registered) and any patentable improvements or copyrightable derivative works
thereof, websites and intellectual
7
property rights relating thereto, service marks, trade names, copyrights,
licenses and authorizations as set forth in the Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB and on
Schedule 2.1(r) hereto, and all rights with respect to the foregoing, which are
necessary for the conduct of its business as now conducted without any conflict
with the rights of others.
(s) Environmental Compliance. The Company and each of its
subsidiaries have obtained all material approvals, authorization, certificates,
consents, licenses, orders and permits or other similar authorizations of all
governmental authorities, or from any other person, that are required under any
Environmental Laws. The Form 10-KSB or Form 10-QSB describes all material
permits, licenses and other authorizations issued under any Environmental Laws
to the Company or its subsidiaries. "Environmental Laws" shall mean all
applicable laws relating to the protection of the environment including, without
limitation, all requirements pertaining to reporting, licensing, permitting,
controlling, investigating or remediating emissions, discharges, releases or
threatened releases of hazardous substances, chemical substances, pollutants,
contaminants or toxic substances, materials or wastes, whether solid, liquid or
gaseous in nature, into the air, surface water, groundwater or land, or relating
to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal,
transport or handling of hazardous substances, chemical substances, pollutants,
contaminants or toxic substances, material or wastes, whether solid, liquid or
gaseous in nature. The Company has all necessary governmental approvals required
under all Environmental Laws and used in its business or in the business of any
of its subsidiaries. The Company and each of its subsidiaries are also in
compliance with all other limitations, restrictions, conditions, standards,
requirements, schedules and timetables required or imposed under all
Environmental Laws. Except for such instances as would not individually or in
the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, there are no past or present
events, conditions, circumstances, incidents, actions or omissions relating to
or in any way affecting the Company or its subsidiaries that violate or may
violate any Environmental Law after the Closing Date or that may give rise to
any environmental liability, or otherwise form the basis of any claim, action,
demand, suit, proceeding, hearing, study or investigation (i) under any
Environmental Law, or (ii) based on or related to the manufacture, processing,
distribution, use, treatment, storage (including without limitation underground
storage tanks), disposal, transport or handling, or the emission, discharge,
release or threatened release of any hazardous substance.
(t) Books and Record Internal Accounting Controls. The books and
records of the Company and its subsidiaries accurately reflect in all material
respects the information relating to the business of the Company and the
subsidiaries, the location and collection of their assets, and the nature of all
transactions giving rise to the obligations or accounts receivable of the
Company or any subsidiary. The Company and each of its subsidiaries maintain a
system of internal accounting controls sufficient, in the judgment of the
Company, 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 GAAP 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
actions is taken with respect to any differences.
(u) Material Agreements. Except as set forth in the Form 10-KSB,
Form 10-
8
QSB or on Schedule 2.1(u) hereto, neither the Company nor any subsidiary is a
party to any written or oral contract, instrument, agreement, commitment,
obligation, plan or arrangement, a copy of which would be required to be filed
with the Commission as an exhibit to a registration statement on Form S-3 or
applicable form (collectively, "Material Agreements") if the Company or any
subsidiary were registering securities under the Securities Act. Except as set
forth on Schedule 2.1(u) or in the Commission Documents, the Company and each of
its subsidiaries has in all material respects performed all the obligations
required to be performed by them to date under the foregoing agreements, have
received no notice of default and, to the best of the Company's knowledge are
not in default under any Material Agreement now in effect, the result of which
could cause a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(u) or
in the Commission Documents, no written or oral contract, instrument, agreement,
commitment, obligation, plan or arrangement of the Company or of any subsidiary
limits or shall limit the payment of dividends on the Company's Preferred
Shares, other Preferred Stock, if any, or its Common Stock.
(v) Transactions with Affiliates. Except as set forth in the Form

(aa) Public Utility Holding Company Act and Investment Company Act
Status. The Company is not a "holding company" or a "public utility company" as
such terms are defined in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as
amended. The Company is not, and as a result of and immediately upon the Closing
will not be, an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment
company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(bb) ERISA. No liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
has been incurred with respect to any Plan by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries which is or would be materially adverse to the Company and its
subsidiaries. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and
sale of the Preferred Shares will not involve any transaction which is subject
to the prohibitions of Section 406 of ERISA or in connection with which a tax
could be imposed pursuant to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, provided that, if any of the Purchasers, or any person or entity
that owns a beneficial interest in any of the Purchasers, is an "employee
pension benefit plan" (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA) with respect
to which the Company is a "party in interest" (within the meaning of Section
3(14) of ERISA), the requirements of Sections 407(d)(5) and 408(e) of ERISA, if
applicable, are met. As used in this Section 2.1(ac), the term "Plan" shall mean
an "employee
11
pension benefit plan" (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA) which is or has been
established or maintained, or to which contributions are or have been made, by
the Company or any subsidiary or by any trade or business, whether or not
incorporated, which, together with the Company or any subsidiary, is under
common control, as described in Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code.
(cc) Dilutive Effect. The Company understands and acknowledges that
the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares
and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will increase in
certain circumstances. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to
issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Shares in accordance
with this Agreement and the Certificate of Designation and its obligations to
issue the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with
this Agreement and the Warrants, is, in each case, absolute and unconditional
regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership
interest of other stockholders of the Company.
(dd) Independent Nature of Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that
the obligations of each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are several
and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser
shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any
other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that
the decision of each Purchaser to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement
has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other purchase and
independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the
business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of
operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of
its Subsidiaries which may have made or given by any other Purchaser or by any
agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents
or employees shall have any liability to any Purchaser (or any other person)
relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or
opinions. The Company acknowledges that nothing contained herein, or in any
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or
thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that each Purchaser shall be
entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without
limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other
Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to
be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company
acknowledges that for reasons of administrative convenience only, the
Transaction Documents have been prepared by counsel for one of the Purchasers
and such counsel does not represent all of the Purchasers but only such
Purchaser and the other Purchasers have retained their own individual counsel
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges
that it has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and
Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was
required or requested to do so by the Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that
such procedure with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a
presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby.
12
(ee) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or
indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to
buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Shares
pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company
for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling
the Shares pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any applicable
exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Company or any of
its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the
offering of the Shares to be integrated with other offerings. The Company does
not have any registration statement pending before the Commission or currently
under the Commission's review and since January 1, 2004, the Company has not
offered or sold any of its equity securities or debt securities convertible into
shares of Common Stock..
Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each
of the Purchasers hereby makes the following representations and warranties to
the Company with respect solely to itself and not with respect to any other
Purchaser:
(a) Organization and Standing of the Purchasers. If the Purchaser is
an entity, such Purchaser is a corporation or partnership duly incorporated or
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization.
(b) Authorization and Power. Each Purchaser has the requisite power
and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to purchase the
Preferred Shares and Warrants being sold to it hereunder. The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement
by such Purchaser and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or
partnership action, and no further consent or authorization of such Purchaser or
its Board of Directors, stockholders, or partners, as the case may be, is
required. Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Purchaser and constitutes, or
shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of
the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with the terms
thereof.
(c) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation by such
Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or relating hereto
do not and will not (i) result in a violation of such Purchaser's charter
documents or bylaws or other organizational documents or (ii) conflict with, or
constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both
would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of any agreement, indenture or
instrument or obligation to which such Purchaser is a party or by which its
properties or assets are bound, or result in a violation of any law, rule, or
regulation, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency
applicable to such Purchaser or its properties (except for such conflicts,
defaults and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
material adverse effect on such Purchaser). Such Purchaser is not required to
obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or
registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute,
13
deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or the
Registration Rights Agreement or to purchase the Preferred Shares or acquire the
Warrants in accordance with the terms hereof, provided that for purposes of the
representation made in this sentence, such Purchaser is assuming and relying
upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of the Company
herein.
(d) Acquisition for Investment. Each Purchaser is acquiring the
Preferred Shares and the Warrants solely for its own account for the purpose of
investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with distribution.
Each Purchaser does not have a present intention to sell the Preferred Shares or
the Warrants, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or
intention to effect any distribution of the Preferred Shares or the Warrants to
or through any person or entity; provided, however, that by making the
representations herein and subject to Section 2.2(f) below, such Purchaser does
not agree to hold the Shares or the Warrants for any minimum or other specific
term and reserves the right to dispose of the Shares or the Warrants at any time
in accordance with Federal and state securities laws applicable to such
disposition. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is able to bear the financial
risks associated with an investment in the Preferred Shares and the Warrants and
that it has been given full access to such records of the Company and the
subsidiaries and to the officers of the Company and the subsidiaries and
received such information as it has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct
its due diligence investigation and has sufficient knowledge and experience in
investing in companies similar to the Company in terms of the Company's stage of
development so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its investment
in the Company.
(e) Status of Purchasers. Such Purchaser is an "accredited investor"
as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser
is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the
Exchange Act and such Purchaser is not a broker-dealer.
(f) Opportunities for Additional Information. Each Purchaser
acknowledges that such Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of and
receive answers from, or obtain additional information from, the executive
officers of the Company concerning the financial and other affairs of the
Company, and to the extent deemed necessary in light of such Purchaser's
personal knowledge of the Company's affairs, such Purchaser has asked such
questions and received answers to the full satisfaction of such Purchaser, and
such Purchaser desires to invest in the Company.
(g) No General Solicitation. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the
Preferred Shares and the Warrants were not offered to such Purchaser by means of
any form of general or public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly
disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including (i) any
advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any
newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio, or
(ii) any seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by any of the
foregoing means of communications.
(h) Rule 144. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares must be
held indefinitely unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act or
an exemption from
14
registration is available. Such Purchaser acknowledges that such Purchaser is
familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the Commission, as
amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act ("Rule 144"), and that such
person has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain
circumstances. Such Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is
not available, such Purchaser will be unable to sell any Shares without either
registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from
such registration requirement.
(i) General. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares are being
offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration
requirement of Federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying upon
the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order
to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such
Purchaser to acquire the Shares.
(j) Independent Investment. No Purchaser has agreed to act with any
other Purchaser for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of
the Shares purchased hereunder for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Exchange
Act, and each Purchaser is acting independently with respect to its investment
in the Shares.
ARTICLE III
COVENANTS
The Company covenants with each of the Purchasers as follows, which
covenants are for the benefit of the Purchasers and their permitted assignees
(as defined herein).
Section 3.1 Securities Compliance. The Company shall notify the
Commission in accordance with their rules and regulations, of the transactions
contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents, including filing a Form D with
respect to the Preferred Shares, Warrants, Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares
as required under Regulation D, and shall take all other necessary action and
proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule and
regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Preferred Shares, the
Warrants, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares to the Purchasers or
subsequent holders.
Section 3.2 Registration and Listing. The Company will cause its
Common Stock to continue to be registered under Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the
Exchange Act, will comply in all respects with its reporting and filing
obligations under the Exchange Act, will comply with all requirements related to
any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement or the Registration
Rights Agreement, and will not take any action or file any document (whether or
not permitted by the Securities Act or the rules promulgated thereunder) to
terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting
and filing obligations under the Exchange Act or Securities Act, except as
permitted herein. The Company will take all action necessary to continue the
listing or trading of its Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or other
exchange or market.
15
Section 3.3 Inspection Rights. The Company shall permit, during
normal business hours and upon reasonable request and reasonable notice, each
Purchaser or any employees, agents or representatives thereof, so long as such
Purchaser shall be obligated hereunder to purchase the Preferred Shares or shall
beneficially own any Preferred Shares, or shall own Conversion Shares which, in
the aggregate, represent more than 2% of the total combined voting power of all
voting securities then outstanding, for purposes reasonably related to such
Purchaser's interests as a stockholder to examine and make reasonable copies of
and extracts from the records and books of account of, and visit and inspect the
properties, assets, operations and business of the Company and any subsidiary,
and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company and any
subsidiary with any of its officers, consultants, directors, and key employees.
Section 3.4 Compliance with Laws. The Company shall comply, and
cause each subsidiary to comply, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations
and orders, noncompliance with which could have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.5 Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Company
shall keep and cause each subsidiary to keep adequate records and books of
account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied, reflecting all financial transactions of the Company and
its subsidiaries, and in which, for each fiscal year, all proper reserves for
depreciation, depletion, obsolescence, amortization, taxes, bad debts and other
purposes in connection with its business shall be made.
Section 3.6 Reporting Requirements. If the Commission ceases making
periodic reports filed under Section 13 of the Exchange Act available via its
Election Data Gathering Retrieval and Analysis System, then at a Purchaser's
request the Company shall furnish the following to such Purchaser so long as
such Purchaser shall be obligated hereunder to purchase the Preferred Shares or
shall beneficially own any Preferred Shares, or shall own Conversion Shares
which, in the aggregate, represent more than 2% of the total combined voting
power of all voting securities then outstanding:
(a) Quarterly Reports filed with the Commission on Form 10-QSB as
soon as practical after the document is filed with the Commission, and in any
event within five (5) days after the document is filed with the Commission;
(b) Annual Reports filed with the Commission on Form 10-KSB as soon
as practical after the document is filed with the Commission, and in any event
within five (5) days after the document is filed with the Commission; and
(c) Copies of all notices and information, including without
limitation notices and proxy statements in connection with any meetings, that
are provided to holders of shares of Common Stock, contemporaneously with the
delivery of such notices or information to such holders of Common Stock.
Section 3.7 Amendments. The Company shall not amend or waive any
provision of the Articles or Bylaws of the Company in any way that would
adversely affect the
16
liquidation preferences, dividends rights, conversion rights, voting rights or
redemption rights of the Preferred Shares; provided, however, that any creation
and issuance of another series of Junior Stock (as defined in the Certificate of
Designation) or any other class or series of equity securities which by its
terms shall rank on parity with the Preferred Shares shall not be deemed to
materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences or privileges.
Section 3.8 Other Agreements. The Company shall not enter into any
agreement in which the terms of such agreement would restrict or impair the
right or ability to perform of the Company or any subsidiary under any
Transaction Document.
Section 3.9 Distributions. So long as any Preferred Shares or
Warrants remain outstanding, the Company agrees that it shall not (i) declare or
pay any dividends or make any distributions to any holder(s) of Common Stock or
(ii) purchase or otherwise acquire for value, directly or indirectly, any Common
Stock or other equity security of the Company.
Section 3.10 Status of Dividends. The Company covenants and agrees
that (i) no Federal income tax return or claim for refund of Federal income tax
or other submission to the Internal Revenue Service will adversely affect the
Preferred Shares, any other series of its Preferred Stock, or the Common Stock,
and any deduction shall not operate to jeopardize the availability to Purchasers
of the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code or
any successor provision, (ii) in no report to shareholders or to any
governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company or otherwise will it
treat the Preferred Shares other than as equity capital or the dividends paid
thereon other than as dividends paid on equity capital unless required to do so
by a governmental body having jurisdiction over the accounts of the Company or
by a change in generally accepted accounting principles required as a result of
action by an authoritative accounting standards setting body, and (iii) other
than pursuant to this Agreement or the Certificate of Designation, it will take
no action which would result in the dividends paid by the Company on the
Preferred Shares out of the Company's current or accumulated earnings and
profits being ineligible for the dividends received deduction provided by
Section 243(a)(1) of the Code. The preceding sentence shall not be deemed to
prevent the Company from designating the Preferred Stock as "Convertible
Preferred Stock" in its annual and quarterly financial statements in accordance
with its prior practice concerning other series of preferred stock of the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to
restate or modify its tax returns for periods prior to the Closing Date. In the
event that the Purchasers have reasonable cause to believe that dividends paid
by the Company on the Preferred Shares out of the Company's current or
accumulated earnings and profits will not be treated as eligible for the
dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code, or any
successor provision, the Company will, at the reasonable request of the
Purchasers of 51% of the outstanding Preferred Shares, join with the Purchasers
in the submission to the Service of a request for a ruling that dividends paid
on the Shares will be so eligible for Federal income tax purposes, at the
Purchasers expense. In addition, the Company will reasonably cooperate with the
Purchasers (at Purchasers' expense) in any litigation, appeal or other
proceeding challenging or contesting any ruling, technical advice, finding or
determination that earnings and profits are not eligible for the dividends
received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code, or any successor
provision to the extent that the position to be taken in any such litigation,
appeal, or other proceeding is not contrary to any provision of the Code or
17
incurred in connection with any such submission, litigation, appeal or other
proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to preclude the Company from claiming a deduction with respect to such
dividends if (i) the Code shall hereafter be amended, or final Treasury
regulations thereunder are issued or modified, to provide that dividends on the
Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares should not be treated as dividends for
Federal income tax purposes or that a deduction with respect to all or a portion
of the dividends on the Shares is allowable for Federal income tax purposes, or
(ii) in the absence of such an amendment, issuance or modification and after a
submission of a request for ruling or technical advice, the service shall rule
or advise that dividends on the shares should not be treated as dividends for
Federal income tax purposes. If the Service determines that the Preferred Shares
or Conversion Shares constitute debt, the Company may file protective claims for
refund.
Section 3.11 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds from the sale of the
Preferred Shares will be used by the Company as follows: (i) $1,750,000 in cash
shall be used to pay Xxx Xxxxxxx in full satisfaction of all obligations owed to
Xxx Xxxxxxx and his affiliates in connection with the Company's acquisition of
World of Outlaws, Inc.; (ii) $2,000,000 in cash and $925,000 to be paid upon
final completion of the audit in connection with the acquisition of DIRT
Motorsports, Inc. (and any liabilities disclosed on such audit shall be offset
against such $925,000) shall be used to pay Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx in full satisfaction
of all obligations owed to Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx in connection with the Company's
acquisition of Dirt Motorsports, Inc.; and (iii) the remaining proceeds shall be
used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Section 3.12 Future Financings; Right of First Offer and Refusal.
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, a "Subsequent Financing" shall be defined as
any subsequent offer or sale to, or exchange with (or other type of distribution
to), any third party of Common Stock or any securities convertible, exercisable
or exchangeable into Common Stock, including debt securities so convertible, in
a private transaction (collectively, the "Financing Securities") other than a
Permitted Financing. For purposes of this Agreement, "Permitted Financing" shall
mean any transaction involving (i) the Company's issuance of any Financing
Securities (other than for cash) in connection with a merger, acquisition or
consolidation of the Company, (ii) the Company's issuance of Financing
Securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering
arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising
capital, (iii) the Company's issuance of Financing Securities in connection with
bona fide firm underwritten public offerings of its securities, (iv) the
Company's issuance of Common Stock or the issuance or grants of options to
purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Company's stock option plans and employee
stock purchase plans outstanding on the date hereof, (v) as a result of the
exercise of options or warrants or conversion of convertible notes or preferred
stock which are granted or issued as of the date of this Agreement, (vi) any
Warrants issued to the Purchasers and any warrants issued to the placement agent
for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (vii) the payment of any
dividend on the Preferred Shares.
(b) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on
the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, the Company
covenants and agrees to promptly notify (in no event later than five (5) days
after making or receiving an applicable offer) in writing (a "Rights Notice")
each Purchaser of the terms and conditions of any proposed Subsequent Financing.
The Rights Notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the proposed
18
Subsequent Financing, the proposed closing date of the Subsequent Financing,
which shall be within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the Rights
Notice, including, without limitation, all of the terms and conditions thereof
and proposed definitive documentation to be entered into in connection
therewith. The Rights Notice shall provide each Purchaser an option (the "Rights
Option") during the ten (10) trading days following delivery of the Rights
Notice (the "Option Period") to inform the Company whether such Purchaser will
purchase up to fifty percent (50%) of its Purchase Price for the securities
being offered in such Subsequent Financing on the same, absolute terms and
conditions as contemplated by such Subsequent Financing (the "First Refusal
Rights"). If any Purchaser elects not to participate in such Subsequent
Financing, the other Purchasers may participate on a pro-rata basis so long as
such participation in the aggregate does not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the
total Purchase Price hereunder. For purposes of this Section, all references to
"pro rata" means, for any Purchaser electing to participate in such Subsequent
Financing, the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the total number of Preferred
Shares purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing by (y) the total number of
Preferred Shares purchased by all of the participating Purchasers at the
Closing. Delivery of any Rights Notice constitutes a representation and warranty
by the Company that there are no other material terms and conditions,
arrangements, agreements or otherwise except for those disclosed in the Rights
Notice, to provide additional compensation to any party participating in any
proposed Subsequent Financing, including, but not limited to, additional
compensation based on changes in the Purchase Price or any type of reset or
adjustment of a purchase or conversion price or to issue additional securities
at any time after the closing date of a Subsequent Financing. If the Company
does not receive notice of exercise of the Rights Option from the Purchasers
within the Option Period, the Company shall have the right to close the
Subsequent Financing on the scheduled closing date with a third party; provided
that all of the material terms and conditions of the closing are the same as
those provided to the Purchasers in the Rights Notice. If the closing of the
proposed Subsequent Financing does not occur on that date, any closing of the
contemplated Subsequent Financing or any other Subsequent Financing shall be
subject to all of the provisions of this Section 3.12, including, without
limitation, the delivery of a new Rights Notice. The provisions of this Section
3.12(b) shall not apply to issuances of Financing Securities in a Permitted
Financing.
Section 3.13 Reservation of Shares. So long as any of the Preferred
Shares or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action
necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of
issuance, no less than the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock needed to
provide for the issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares.
Section 3.14 Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue
irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer
agent, to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its
respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in such
amounts as specified from time to time by each Purchaser to the Company upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants in the form of
Exhibit F attached hereto (the "Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions"). Prior
to registration of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares under the
Securities Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend
specified in Section 5.1 of this Agreement. The Company warrants that no
instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to
in this
19
Section 3.14 will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the
Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the
Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement. Nothing in this Section 3.14 shall affect in any way each
Purchaser's obligations and agreements set forth in Section 5.1 to comply with
all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon resale of the
Shares. If a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a
generally acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or
transfer of the Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act
or the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Shares
can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of
securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold,
the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares
and the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or
more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by such
Purchaser and without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a
breach by it of its obligations under this Section 3.14 will cause irreparable
harm to the Purchasers by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction
contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at
law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 3.14 will be inadequate
and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the
provisions of this Section 3.14, that the Purchasers shall be entitled, in
addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction
restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without
the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security
being required.
Section 3.15 Disposition of Assets. So long as the Preferred Shares
remain outstanding, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall sell, transfer
or otherwise dispose of any of its properties, assets and rights including,
without limitation, its software and intellectual property, to any person except
for sales to customers in the ordinary course of business or with the prior
written consent of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Shares then
outstanding.
Section 3.16 Reporting Status. So long as a Purchaser beneficially
owns any of the Securities, the Company shall timely file all reports required
to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company
shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the
Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder
would permit such termination.
Section 3.17 Disclosure of Transaction. The Company shall issue a
press release describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated
hereby (the "Press Release") as soon as practicable after the Closing; provided,
however, that if Closing occurs after 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time on any Trading Day
but in no event later than one hour after the Closing, the Company shall issue
the Press Release no later than 9:00 A.M. Eastern Time on the first Trading Day
following the Closing Date. The Company shall also file with the Commission a
Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Form 8-K") describing the material terms of the
transactions contemplated hereby (and attaching as exhibits thereto this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Certificate of Designation and
the form of Warrant) as soon as practicable following the Closing Date but in no
event more than three (3) Trading Days following the Closing Date, which Press
Release and Form 8-K shall be subject to prior review and comment
20
by the Purchasers. "Trading Day" means any day during which the OTC Bulletin
Board (or other principal exchange on which the Common Stock is traded) shall be
open for trading.
Section 3.18 Disclosure of Material Information. The Company
covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf
has provided or will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any
information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public
information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written
agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company
understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing
representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
Section 3.19 Pledge of Securities. The Company acknowledges and
agrees that the Securities may be pledged by a Purchaser in connection with a
bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is
secured by the Common Stock. The pledge of Common Stock shall not be deemed to
be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Common Stock hereunder, and no
Purchaser effecting a pledge of Common Stock shall be required to provide the
Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company
pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that a
Purchaser and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of
Article V hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Common
Stock to such pledgee. At the Purchasers' expense, the Company hereby agrees to
execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Common Stock may
reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Common Stock to such
pledgee by a Purchaser.
Section 3.20 Corporate Governance. Within forty-five (45) days of
the Closing, the Company shall satisfy the corporate governance requirements for
listing the Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the American Stock
Exchange, including, but not limited to, the maintenance of a board of directors
of at least three independent directors, a qualified audit committee and a
qualified compensation committee.
Section 3.21 Insiders Lock-Up. The persons listed on Schedule 3.21
attached hereto shall be subject to the terms and provisions of a lock-up
agreement in substantially the form as Exhibit E hereto (the "Lock-Up
Agreement"), which shall provide the manner in which such persons will sell,
transfer or dispose of their shares of Common Stock.
Section 3.22 Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. Within forty-five (45) days of the
Closing, the Company covenants and agrees to comply substantially with the
applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (the "Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, that are effective
and intends to comply substantially with other applicable provisions of the
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, upon
the effectiveness of such provisions.

ARTICLE V
STOCK CERTIFICATE LEGEND
Section 5.1 Legend. Each certificate representing the Preferred
Shares and the Warrants, and, if appropriate, securities issued upon conversion
thereof, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in
the following form (in addition to any legend required by applicable state
securities or "blue sky" laws):
THESE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE
"SECURITIES") HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND
UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BOUNDLESS MOTOR
SPORTS RACING, INC. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS
IS NOT REQUIRED.
The Company agrees to reissue certificates representing any of the
Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if
at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, such holder
thereof shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner and terms
of such transfer and removal as the Company may reasonably request. Such
proposed transfer and removal will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the
Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the effect that the registration of the Conversion Shares or the
Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such
proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act
covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the
Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act and the holder has
complied with the prospectus delivery requirements, (iii) the Company has
received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such
registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities
laws are not required, or (iv) the holder provides the Company with reasonable
assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration
or qualification under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state is not
required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with
applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws has been effected or a valid
exemption exists with respect thereto. The Company will respond to any such
notice from a holder within five (5) business days. In the case of any proposed
transfer under this Section 5.1, the Company will use reasonable efforts to
comply with any such applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, but shall
in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is
not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to
the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z)
to comply with state securities or "blue sky" laws of any state for which
registration by coordination is unavailable to the Company. The restrictions
25
on transfer contained in this Section 5.1 shall be in addition to, and not by
way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other
section of this Agreement. Whenever a certificate representing the Conversion
Shares or Warrant Shares is required to be issued to a Purchaser without a
legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Conversion
Shares or Warrant Shares (provided that a registration statement under the
Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares and Conversion
Shares is then in effect and such Purchaser complies with all applicable
securities laws in connection with the sale, including, without limitation, the
prospectus delivery requirements), the Company shall cause its transfer agent to
electronically transmit the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares to a Purchaser
by crediting the account of such Purchaser's Prime Broker with the Depository
Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (to the
extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement).
ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 6.1 General Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Purchasers (and their respective directors, officers,
affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses,
liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by
the Purchasers as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the
representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein. Each
Purchaser severally but not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and its directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns
from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages
and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, charges
and disbursements) incurred by the Company as result of any inaccuracy in or
breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by such Purchaser
herein. The maximum aggregate liability of each Purchaser pursuant to its
indemnification obligations under this Article VI shall not exceed the portion
of the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser hereunder.
Section 6.2 Indemnification Procedure. Any party entitled to
indemnification under this Article VI (an "indemnified party") will give written
notice to the indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for
indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to
indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve
the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the
extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to
give notice. In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an
indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the
reasonable judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it
and the indemnifying party may exist with respect of such action, proceeding or
claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an
indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification
hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification
notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or
compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or
discontinues its defense at any time after it
26
commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend,
settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless
and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume
the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party's
costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any
such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification
hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying
party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim
by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all
information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such
action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully
apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement
negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend
any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to
participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and
expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the indemnifying
party shall not, without the indemnified party's prior written consent, settle
or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof
which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not
include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the
plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of
such claim. The indemnification required by this Article VI shall be made by
periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or
defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is
incurred, so long as the indemnified party irrevocably agrees to refund such
moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that
such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements
contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar
rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and
(b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the
law.
ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.1 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Certificate of Designation,

other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, all
27
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. The Company shall pay all stamp or
other similar taxes and duties levied in connection with issuance of the
Preferred Shares pursuant hereto.
Section 7.2 Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction.
(a) The Company and the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this
Agreement, the Certificate of Designation or the Registration Rights Agreement
were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise
breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an
injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this
Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement and to enforce specifically the
terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other
remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.
(b) Each of the Company and the Purchasers (i) hereby irrevocably
submits to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court sitting in the

of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and (ii) hereby waives, and
agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it
is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit,
action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of
the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the
Purchasers consents to process being served in any such suit, action or
proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for
notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this
Section 7.2 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law.
Section 7.3 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and the
Transaction Documents contains the entire understanding and agreement of the
parties with respect to the matters covered hereby and, except as specifically
set forth herein or in the Transaction Documents or the Certificate of
Designation, neither the Company nor any of the Purchasers makes any
representations, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters
and they supersede all prior understandings and agreements with respect to said
subject matter, all of which are merged herein. No provision of this Agreement
may be waived or amended other than by a written instrument signed by the
Company and the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Preferred
Shares then outstanding, and no provision hereof may be waived other than by an
a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such
amendment or waiver is sought. No such amendment shall be effective to the
extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Preferred Shares
then outstanding. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to
amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the
Transaction Documents or the Certificate of Designation unless the same
consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents
or holders of Preferred Shares, as the case may be.

Attn: _____________
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
Reference is made to that certain Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of July 30, 2004, by and
among Boundless Motor Sports Racing, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the
"COMPANY"), and the purchasers named therein (collectively, the "PURCHASERS")
pursuant to which the Company is issuing to the Purchasers shares of its Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.0001 per share, (the "PREFERRED
SHARES") and warrants (the "WARRANTS") to purchase shares of the Company's
common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the "COMMON STOCK"). This letter shall
serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to you (subject to Section
3.1(a) of the Purchase Agreement and provided that you are the transfer agent of
the Company at such time) to issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the
Preferred Shares (the "CONVERSION SHARES") and exercise of the Warrants (the
"WARRANT SHARES") to or upon the order of a Purchaser from time to time upon (i)
surrender to you of a properly completed and duly executed Conversion Notice or
Exercise Notice, as the case may be, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I
and Exhibit II, respectively, (ii) in the case of the conversion of Preferred
Shares, a copy of the certificates (with the original certificates delivered to
the Company) representing Preferred Shares being converted or, in the case of
Warrants being exercised, a copy of the Warrants (with the original Warrants
delivered to the Company) being exercised (or, in each case, an indemnification
undertaking with respect to such share certificates or the warrants in the case
of their loss, theft or destruction), and (iii) delivery of a treasury order or
other appropriate order duly executed by a duly authorized officer of the
Company. So long as you have previously received (x) written confirmation from
counsel to the Company that a registration statement covering resales of the
Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, has been declared effective
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "1933 ACT"), and no subsequent notice by the Company or
its counsel of the suspension or termination of its effectiveness and (y) a copy
of such registration statement, and if the Purchaser represents in writing that
the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, were sold
pursuant to the Registration Statement and in accordance with any prospectus
delivery requirements or other applicable securities laws, then certificates
representing the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, as the case may be,
shall not bear any legend restricting transfer of the Conversion Shares and the
Warrant Shares, as the case may be, thereby and should not be subject to any
stop-transfer restriction. Provided, however, that if you have not previously
received those items and representations listed above, then the certificates for
the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares shall bear the following legend:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR
OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR
BOUNDLESS MOTOR SPORTS RACING, INC. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED
AN OPINION OF ITS COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH
SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE
PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT
REQUIRED."
and, provided further, that the Company may from time to time notify you to
place stop-transfer restrictions on the certificates for the Conversion Shares
and the Warrant Shares in the event a registration statement covering the
Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares is subject to amendment for events then
current.
A form of written confirmation from counsel to the Company that a
registration statement covering resales of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant
Shares has been declared effective by the SEC under the 1933 Act is attached
hereto as Exhibit III.
Please be advised that the Purchasers are relying upon this letter as an
inducement to enter into the Securities Purchase Agreement and, accordingly,
each Purchaser is a third party beneficiary to these instructions.
Please execute this letter in the space indicated to acknowledge your
agreement to act in accordance with these instructions. Should you have any
questions concerning this matter, please contact me at ___________.
Very truly yours,

Re: BOUNDLESS MOTOR SPORTS RACING, INC.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are counsel to Boundless Motor Sports Racing, Inc., a Colorado
corporation (the "COMPANY"), and have represented the Company in connection with
that certain Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the
"PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), dated as of July 30, 2004, by and among the Company and
the purchasers named therein (collectively, the "PURCHASERS") pursuant to which
the Company issued to the Purchasers shares of its Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $.0001 per share, (the "PREFERRED SHARES") and
warrants (the "WARRANTS") to purchase shares of the Company's common stock, par
value $.0001 per share (the "COMMON Stock"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
the Company has also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the
Purchasers (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT"), dated as of July 30, 2004,
pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the
Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement),
including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred
Shares and exercise of the Warrants, under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 ACT"). In connection with the Company's obligations under the
Registration Rights Agreement, on ________________, 2004, the Company filed a
Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-________) (the "REGISTRATION
STATEMENT") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to
the resale of the Registrable Securities which names each of the present
Purchasers as a selling stockholder thereunder.
In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC's
staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring
the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF
EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge, after
telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC's staff, that any stop order
suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that
purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and accordingly, the
Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to
the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
[COMPANY COUNSEL]
By:_____________________________

EXHIBIT G TO THE
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR
BOUNDLESS MOTOR SPORTS RACING, INC.
FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL
1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the state of Colorado and has the
requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets,
and to carry on its business as presently conducted. The Company is duly
qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in
every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property
owned by it makes such qualification necessary.
2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to
enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and to
issue the Preferred Stock, the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants. The execution,
delivery and performance of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and
the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly
and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent
or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is
required. Each of the Transaction Documents have been duly executed and
delivered, and the Preferred Stock and the Warrants have been duly executed,
issued and delivered by the Company and each of the Transaction Documents
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its respective terms. The Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants are
not subject to any preemptive rights under the Articles of Incorporation or the
Bylaws.
3. The Preferred Stock and the Warrants have been duly authorized
and, when delivered against payment in full as provided in the Purchase
Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the
Warrants, have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance, and, when
delivered upon conversion or against payment in full as provided in the
Certificate of Designation and the Warrants, as applicable, will be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
4. The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with
the terms of the Transaction Documents and the issuance of the Preferred Stock,
the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred
Stock and exercise of the Warrants do not (i) violate any provision of the
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default
(or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default)
under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture,
note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the
Company is a party, (iii) create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any
property of the Company under any agreement or any commitment to which the
Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or by which any of its
respective properties or assets are bound, or (iv) result in a violation of any
federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment,
injunction or decree (including Federal and state securities laws and
regulations) applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the
Company is bound or affected, except, in all cases other than violations
pursuant to clause (i) above, for such conflicts, default, terminations,
amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
5. No consent, approval or authorization of or designation,
declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the part of the Company
is required under Federal, state or local law, rule
or regulation in connection with the valid execution and delivery of the
Transaction Documents, or the offer, sale or issuance of the Preferred Stock,
the Warrants or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock
and exercise of the Warrants other than the Certificate of Designation and the
Registration Statement.
6. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding
pending or threatened against the Company which questions the validity of this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or to be
taken pursuant hereto or thereto. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation
or proceeding pending, or to our knowledge, threatened, against or involving the
Company or any of its properties or assets and which, if adversely determined,
is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no
outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of any court,
arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against the Company or any
officers or directors of the Company in their capacities as such.
7. The offer, issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock and the
Warrants and the offer, issuance and sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement, the Certificate of Designation and the Warrants, as
applicable, are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
8. The Company is not, and as a result of and immediately upon
Closing will not be, an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an
"investment company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended.
Very truly yours,
