number of shares constituting the Firm Shares) if requested by the
Representative as provided in Section 3 of this Agreement. Any and all shares of
Common Stock to be purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to such option are
referred to herein as the "Additional Shares." The Firm Shares and any

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents
and warrants to, and agrees with, each of the Underwriters that:

Regulations shall differ from such final prospectus, the term "Prospectus"
shall mean the prospectus as filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) from and after
the date on which it shall have first been used.
b. When the Registration Statement becomes effective, and at all times
subsequent thereto, to and including the Closing Date (as defined in

Registration Statement or the Prospectus) will contain all statements which
are required to be stated therein in accordance with the Act and the
Regulations, will comply with the Act and the Regulations, and will not

shares of Common Stock, of which 1,785,101 shares of Common Stock are

validly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, without
any personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof, and has not been
issued and is not owned or held in violation of any preemptive rights of
stockholders. There is no commitment, plan, or arrangement to issue, and no
outstanding option, warrant, or other right calling for the issuance of,
any share of capital stock of the Company or any security or other
instrument which by its terms is convertible into, exercisable for, or
exchangeable for capital stock of the Company, except as set forth above,
and as may be properly described in the Prospectus.
g. The consolidated financial statements of the Company included in
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus fairly present with respect
to the Company the consolidated financial position, the results of
operations, and the other information purported to be shown therein at the
respective dates and for the respective periods to which they apply. Such
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, except to the extent that certain

accordance with the applicable rules of the Commission under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), consistently applied
throughout the periods involved, are correct and complete, and are in
accordance with the books and records of the Company. The accountants whose
reports on the audited consolidated financial statements are filed with the
Commission as a part of the Registration Statement are, and during the
periods covered by their reports included in the Registration Statement and
the Prospectus were, independent certified public accountants with respect
to the Company within the meaning of the Act and the Regulations. No other
financial statements are required by Form SB-2 or otherwise to be included
in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus. There has at no time been

described in the Prospectus.
h. There is no litigation, arbitration, claim, governmental or other

knowledge of the Company, threatened, or proposed with respect to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, operations, businesses, properties, or
assets, except as may be properly described in the Prospectus or such as

Company, nor is the Company required to take any action in order to avoid
any such violation or default.

not now have and will not in the future have a material adverse effect upon
the operations, business, properties, or assets of the Company. No real
property owned, leased, licensed, or used by the Company lies in an area
which is, or to the knowledge of the Company will be, subject to zoning,
use, or building code restrictions which would prohibit, and no state of
facts relating to the actions or inaction of another person or entity or
his or its ownership, leasing, licensing, or use of any real or personal
property exists or will exist which would prevent, the continued effective
ownership, leasing, licensing, or use of such real property in the business
of the Company as presently conducted or as the Prospectus indicates it
contemplates conducting, except as may be properly described in the
Prospectus or such as in the aggregate do not now have and will not in the
future have a material adverse effect upon the operations, business,
properties, or assets of the Company.

the Company to be in violation or breach of, or in default with respect to
complying with, any material provision of any contract, agreement,
instrument, lease, license, arrangement, or understanding which is material
to the Company, and each such contract, agreement, instrument, lease,
license, arrangement, and understanding is in full force and is the legal,
valid, and binding obligation of the parties thereto and is enforceable as
to them in accordance with its terms. The Company enjoys peaceful and
undisturbed possession under all leases and licenses under which it is
operating. The Company is not a party to or bound by any contract,
agreement, instrument, lease, license, arrangement, or understanding, or
subject to any charter or other restriction, which has had or may in the
future have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results
of operations, business, properties, assets, liabilities, or future
prospects of the Company. The Company and each of the Subsidiaries is not

Agreement shall be automatically increased pro rata to absorb the remaining
Firm Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to
purchase; provided, however, that the non-defaulting Underwriters shall not
be obligated to purchase the Firm Shares which the defaulting Underwriter
or Underwriters agreed to purchase in excess of 10% of the total number of
Shares which such non-defaulting Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder,
and provided further that the non-defaulting Underwriters shall not be
obligated to purchase any Firm Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters agreed to purchase if such additional purchase would cause the
Underwriter to be in violation of the net capital rule of the Commission or
other applicable law. If the total number of Firm Shares which the
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to purchase shall not be
purchased or absorbed in accordance with the two preceding sentences, the
Company shall have the right, within 24 hours next succeeding the 24-hour
period above referred to, to make arrangements with other underwriters or
purchasers satisfactory to
13
14
the Representative for the purchase of such Firm Shares on the terms herein
set forth. In any such case, either the Representative or the Company shall
have the right to postpone the Closing for not more than seven business
days after the date originally fixed as the Closing in order that any
necessary changes in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any
other documents or arrangements may be made. If neither the non-defaulting
Underwriters nor the Company shall make arrangements within the 24-hour
periods stated above for the purchase of all the Firm Shares which the
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to purchase hereunder, this
Agreement shall be terminated without further act or deed and without any
liability on the part of the Company to any non-defaulting Underwriter,
except the Company shall be liable for actual expenses incurred by the
Representative as provided in Section 10 hereof, and without any liability
on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter to the Company.
Nothing contained herein shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of
its liability, if any, to the Company or to the remaining Underwriters for
damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
4. Offering. The Underwriters are to make a public offering of the
Shares as soon, on or after the effective date of the Registration
Statement, as the Representative deems it advisable so to do. The Shares
are to be initially offered to the public at the initial public offering
price as provided for in Section 3 (such price being herein called the
"public offering price"). After the initial public offering, you may from
time to time increase or decrease the price of the Shares in your sole
discretion, by reason of changes in general market conditions or otherwise.
5. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants that it will:
a. Use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become
effective as promptly as possible. If the Registration Statement has become
or becomes effective with a form of Prospectus omitting certain information
pursuant to Rule 430A of the Regulations, or filing of the Prospectus is
otherwise required under Rule 424(b), the Company will file the Prospectus,
properly completed, pursuant to Rule 424(b) within the time period
prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to you of such timely
filing.
b. Notify you immediately, and confirm such notice in writing, (i)
when the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto
become effective, (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission
or the "blue sky" or securities authority of any jurisdiction regarding the
Registration Statement, any post-effective amendment thereto, the
Prospectus, or any amendment or
14
15
supplement thereto, and (iii) of the receipt of any notification with
respect to a Stop Order or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
with respect to a Stop Order. The Company will use its best efforts to
prevent the issuance of any Stop Order and, if any Stop Order is issued, to
obtain the lifting thereof as promptly as possible.
c. During the time when a prospectus relating to the Shares is
required to be delivered hereunder or under the Act or the Regulations,
comply so far as it is able with all requirements imposed upon it by the
Act, as now existing and as hereafter amended, and by the Regulations, as
from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance
of sales of or dealings in the Shares and Representative's Warrant Shares
in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Prospectus. If, at any
time when a prospectus relating to the Shares or Representative's Warrant
Shares is required to be delivered hereunder or under the Act or the
Regulations, any event shall have occurred as a result of which, in the
reasonable opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the
Representative, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as then
amended or supplemented, contains any untrue statement of a material fact
or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or if, in the
opinion of either of such counsel, it is necessary at any time to amend or
supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus to comply with the
Act or the Regulations, the Company will immediately notify you and
promptly prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate amendment or
supplement (in form and substance satisfactory to you) which will correct
such statement or omission or which will effect such compliance and will
use its best efforts to have any such amendment declared effective as soon
as possible.
d. Deliver without charge to you such number of copies of each
Preliminary Prospectus as you may reasonably request and, as soon as the
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto becomes effective or a
supplement is filed, deliver without charge to you two signed copies of the
Registration Statement or such amendment thereto, as the case may be,
including exhibits, and two copies of any supplement thereto, and deliver
without charge to you such number of copies of the Prospectus, the
Registration Statement, and amendments and supplements thereto, if any,
without exhibits, as you may reasonably request for the purposes
contemplated by the Act.
e. Endeavor in good faith, in cooperation with you, at or prior to the
time the Registration Statement becomes effective, to qualify the Shares
and Representative's Warrant Shares for offering and sale under the "blue
sky" or securities laws of such jurisdictions as you may designate;
provided, however, that no such qualification shall be required in any
jurisdiction where, as a result
15
16
thereof, the Company would be subject to service of general process or to
taxation as a foreign corporation doing business in such jurisdiction to
which it is not then subject. In each jurisdiction where such qualification
shall be effected, the Company will, unless you agree in writing that such
action is not at the time necessary or advisable, file and make such
statements or reports at such times as are or may be required by the laws
of such jurisdiction.
f. Make generally available (within the meaning of Section 11(a) of
the Act and the Regulations) to its security holders as soon as
practicable, but not later than fifteen (15) months after the date of the
Prospectus, an earnings statement (which need not be certified by
independent certified public accountants unless required by the Act or the
Regulations, but which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Act and the Regulations) covering a period of at least 12 months beginning
after the effective date of the Registration Statement.
g. For a period of 12 months after the date of the Prospectus, not,
without your prior written consent, offer, issue, sell, contract to sell,
grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of, directly or

for shares of Common Stock) except as provided in Section 3 and except (i)
with the Representative's prior written consent, (ii) in an underwritten
public offering, (iii) in connection with an acquisition, (iv) upon the
exercise of options granted pursuant to the Company's stock option plan,

in their letters to be furnished pursuant to Section 7(e).
k. File no amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or
Prospectus at any time, whether before or after the Effective Date of the
Registration Statement, unless such filing shall comply with the Act and
the Regulations and unless you shall previously have been advised of such
filing and furnished with a copy thereof, and you and counsel for the
Representative shall have approved such filing in writing within a
reasonable time of receipt thereof.
l. Comply with all periodic reporting and proxy solicitation
requirements which may from time to time be applicable to the Company as a
result of the Company's registration under the Exchange Act on a
registration statement on Form 8-A.

offering, without your prior written consent.

by the Board of Directors of the Company and then only after the Board of
Directors has obtained the written opinion of recognized legal counsel
experienced in federal and state securities laws as to the propriety of any
such deviation.
s. Within the time period which the Prospectus is required to be
delivered under the Act, comply, at its own expense, with all requirements
imposed upon it by the Act, as now or hereafter amended, by the Rules and
Regulations, as from time to time may be enforced, and by any order of the
Commission, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales or

Legal Opinion Accord (the "Accord") of the ABA Section of Business Law
(1991) and shall be subject to the qualifications, exceptions, definitions,
limitations on coverage and other limitations set forth therein and in such
opinion. Qualifications in such opinion as to knowledge or the absence of

opinion). In rendering such opinion, such legal counsel shall be entitled
to rely upon Public Authority Documents and upon information provided by
client officials in written Certificates provided that copies of such
Public Authority Documents and Certificates are attached as exhibits to the
written opinion of legal counsel. The term "Public Authority Documents"
shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Legal Opinion Accord of the
ABA Section of Business Law (1991).
c. On or prior to the Closing Date and any Additional Closing

reasonably require for the purpose of enabling you to review the
matters referred to in this Section 7, and in order to evidence the
accuracy, completeness, or satisfaction of any of the representations,
warranties, covenants, agreements, or conditions herein contained, or
as you may reasonably request.

have been satisfied, that as of the date of this Agreement and as of
the Closing Date or such Additional Closing Date, as the case may be,
the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein
were and are accurate, and that as of the Closing Date or such
Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, the obligations to be
performed by the Company hereunder on or prior thereto have been fully
performed.
26
27
e. At the time this Agreement is executed and at the Closing Date
and any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, you shall have
received letters from Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx PC, Certified
Public Accountants, addressed to you and dated the date of delivery
but covering a period within three business days of such date, in form
and substance satisfactory to you.
f. All proceedings taken in connection with the issuance, sale,
transfer, and delivery of the Firm Shares and the Additional Shares
shall be satisfactory in form and substance to you and to counsel for
the Representative, and you shall have received a favorable opinion
from counsel to the Company, dated as of the Closing Date or the
Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, with respect to such of
the matters set forth under Sections 7(b) and with respect to such
other related matters as you may reasonably request.
g. The NASD, upon review of the terms of the public offering of
the Firm Shares and the Additional Shares shall not have objected to

h. The Company shall have received notice that the Common Stock

Any certificate or other document signed by any officer of the Company
and delivered to you or to counsel for the Representative shall be deemed a
representation and warranty by such officer individually and by the Company
hereunder to the Representative as to the statements made therein. If any
condition to your obligations hereunder to be fulfilled prior to or at the
Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, is not so
fulfilled, you may terminate this Agreement or, if you so elect, in writing
waive any such conditions which have not been fulfilled or extend the time
for their fulfillment.
8. Indemnification and Contribution.
a. Subject to the conditions set forth below, the Company agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters, the Representative,
and each of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents,
and counsel, and each person, if any, who controls the Representative
or any one of the Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against any and all loss,
liability, claim, damage, and expense whatsoever (which shall include,
for all purposes of this Section 8, but not be limited to, attorneys'
fees, expert witness fees, and any and all expense whatsoever incurred
in investigating, preparing, or defending against any litigation,
commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever and any and all
amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation) as and when
incurred arising out of, based upon, or in connection with (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained (A) in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration
Statement, or the Prospectus (as from time to time amended and
supplemented), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (B) in any
application or other document or
27
28
communication (in this Section 8 collectively called an "application")
in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Common Stock under the
"blue sky" or securities laws thereof or filed with the Commission or
any securities exchange; or any omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement of the Company
contained in this Agreement. The foregoing agreement to indemnify
shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have,
including liabilities arising under this Agreement; however, the
Company shall have no liability under this Section 8 if such statement
or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company as stated in Section 8(b) with
respect to the Underwriters by or on behalf of the Underwriters
expressly for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Registration Statement, or the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or in any application, as the case may be.
If any action is brought against the Underwriters, the
Representative or any of their officers, directors, partners,
employees, agents, or counsel, or any controlling persons of an
Underwriter or the Representative (an "indemnified party") in respect
of which indemnity may be sought against the Company pursuant to the
foregoing paragraph, such indemnified party or parties shall promptly
notify the Company in writing of the institution of such action (but
the failure so to notify shall not relieve the Company from any
liability it may have other than pursuant to this Section 8(a)) and
the Company shall promptly assume the defense of such action,
including the employment of counsel (satisfactory to such indemnified
party or parties) and payment of expenses. Such indemnified party or
parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any
such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such indemnified party or parties unless the employment of
such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Company in
connection with the defense of such action or the Company shall not
have promptly employed counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party
or parties to have charge of the defense of such action or such
indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that
there may be one or more legal defenses available to it or them or to
other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to
those available to the Company, in any of which events such fees and
expenses shall be borne by the Company. Anything in this paragraph to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such claim or action effected without its written
consent. The Company agrees promptly to notify the Underwriters and
the Representative of the commencement of any litigation or
proceedings against the Company or against any of its officers or
directors in connection with the sale of the Shares, any
28
29
Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, or the Prospectus,
or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any application.
b. The Underwriters agree to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, the Company's counsel, each director of the Company, each
officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration
Statement, each other person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange
Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to
the Underwriters in Section 8(a), but only with respect to statements
or omissions, if any, made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Registration Statement, or the Prospectus (as from time to time
amended and supplemented), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or
in any application, in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company as stated in this Section 8(b)
with respect to the Underwriters by or on behalf of the Underwriters
expressly for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Registration Statement, or the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or in any application, as the case may be;
provided, however, that the obligation of the Underwriters to provide
indemnity under the provisions of this Section 8(b) shall be limited
to the amount which represents the product of the number of Firm
Shares and Additional Shares sold hereunder and the initial public
offering price per Share set forth on the cover page of the
Prospectus. For all purposes of this Agreement, the amounts of the
selling concession and reallowance set forth in the Prospectus, the
information under "Underwriting" and the identification of counsel to
the Representative under "Legal Matters" constitute the only
information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Underwriters
expressly for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Registration Statement, or the Prospectus (as from time to time
amended or supplemented), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or
in any application, as the case may be. If any action shall be brought
against the Company or any other person so indemnified based on any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, or the Prospectus,
or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any application, and in
respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Underwriters
pursuant to this Section 8(b), the Underwriters shall have the rights
and duties given to the Company, and the Company and each other person
so indemnified shall have the rights and duties given to the
indemnified parties, by the provisions of Section 8(a).
c. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in this
Section 8 is for any reason held to be unavailable to the Underwriters
or the Company, then the Company shall contribute to the damages paid
by the several Underwriters, and the several Underwriters shall
contribute to the damages paid by the Company; provided, however, that
no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of
29
30
Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In
determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties
are entitled, there shall be considered the relative benefits received
by each party from the sale of the Firm Shares and Additional Shares
(taking into account the portion of the proceeds of the offering
realized by each), the parties' relative knowledge and access to
information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was
asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or
omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the
circumstances. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would
not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by
pro rata or per capita allocation (even if the Underwriters were
treated as one entity for such purpose). No Underwriter or person
controlling such Underwriter shall be obligated to make contribution
hereunder which in the aggregate exceeds the total public offering
price of the Firm Shares and Additional Shares purchased by such
Underwriter under this Agreement, less the aggregate amount of any
damages which such Underwriter and its controlling persons have
otherwise been required to pay in respect of the same or any
substantially similar claim. The Underwriters' obligations to
contribute hereunder are several in proportion to their respective
underwriting obligations and not joint. For purposes of this Section,
each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act shall have the same rights to contribution as
such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of
the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if
any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
Anything in this Section 8(c) to the contrary notwithstanding, no
party shall be liable for contribution with respect to the settlement
of any claim or action effected without its written consent. This
Section 8(c) is intended to supersede any right to contribution under
the Act, the Exchange Act, or otherwise.
9. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All
representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements contained in this
Agreement shall be deemed to be representations, warranties, covenants, and
agreements at the Closing Date and any Additional Closing Date, and such
representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements of the Underwriters
and the Company, including the indemnity and contribution agreements
contained in Section 8, shall remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Representative,
the Underwriters or any indemnified person, or by or on behalf of the
Company or any person or entity which is entitled to be indemnified under
Section 8(b), and shall survive termination of this Agreement or the
delivery of the Firm Shares and Additional Shares to the Underwriters for a
period equal to the statute of limitations for claims related hereto, but
not to exceed an aggregate of five years from the date hereof. In addition,
the provisions of Sections 5(a), 6, 8, 9, 10, and
30
31
12 shall survive termination of this Agreement, whether such termination
occurs before or after the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date.
10. Effective Date of This Agreement and Termination Thereof.
a. This Agreement shall be executed within 24 hours of the
Effective Date of the Registration Statement and shall become
effective on the Effective Date or at the time of the initial public
offering of the Shares, whichever is earlier. The time of the initial
public offering shall mean the time, after the Registration Statement
becomes effective, of the release by the Representative for
publication of the first newspaper advertisement which is subsequently
published relating to the Shares or the time, after the Registration
Statement becomes effective, when the Shares are first released by the
Representative for offering by dealers by letter or telegram,
whichever shall first occur. The Representative or the Company may
prevent this Agreement from becoming effective without liability of
any party to any other party, except as noted below in this Section
10, by giving the notice indicated in Section 10(c) before the time
this Agreement becomes effective.
b. The Representative shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date or any Additional
Closing Date, as the case may be, by giving notice to the Company if
there shall have been a general suspension of, or a general limitation
on prices for, trading in securities on the New York Stock Exchange or
the American Stock Exchange or in the over-the-counter market; or if
there shall have been an outbreak of major hostilities or other
national or international calamity; or if a banking moratorium has
been declared by a state or federal authority; or if a moratorium in
foreign exchange trading by major international banks or persons has
been declared; or if there shall have been a material interruption in
the mail service or other means of communication within the United
States; or if the Company shall have sustained a material or
substantial loss by fire, flood, accident, hurricane, earthquake,
theft, sabotage, or other calamity or malicious act which, whether or
not such loss shall have been insured, will, in the Representative's
opinion, make it inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale, or
delivery of the Firm Shares and Additional Shares, as the case may be;
or if there shall have been such material and adverse change in the
market for securities in general so as to make it inadvisable to
proceed with the offering, sale, and delivery of the Shares, as the
case may be, on the terms contemplated by the Prospectus due to the
impaired investment quality of the Shares; or if the Dow Xxxxx
Industrial Average or the Nasdaq Composite Index shall have fallen by
15% or more from its closing price on the day immediately preceding
the date that the Registration Statement is declared effective by the
Commission.
c. If the Representative elects to prevent this Agreement from
becoming effective as provided in this Section 10, or to terminate
this Agreement, it shall notify the Company promptly by
31
32
telephone, telex, or telegram, confirmed by letter. If, as so provided,
the Company elects to prevent this Agreement from becoming effective,
the Company shall notify the Representative promptly by telephone,
telex, or telegram, confirmed by letter.
d. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding
other than Section 10(e), if this Agreement shall not become effective
by reason of an election pursuant to this Section 10 or if this
Agreement shall terminate or shall otherwise not be carried out prior
to April 30, 2001 because (i) of any reason solely within the control
of the Company or its stockholders and not due to the breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant or bad faith of the
Representative, (ii) the Company unilaterally withdraws the proposed
Public Offering from the Representative in favor of another
underwriter, (iii) the Company does not permit the Registration
Statement to become effective, (iv) of any material discrepancy in any
representation by the Company and/or its officers, directors,
stockholders, agents, advisers or representatives, made in writing,
including but not limited to the Registration Statement, to the
Representative, (v) the Company is, directly and/or indirectly,
negotiating with other persons or entities of whatsoever nature
relating to a possible Public Offering of its securities, or (vi) of
any failure on the part of the Company to perform any covenant or
agreement or satisfy any condition of this Agreement by it to be
performed or satisfied, then, in any of such events, the Company shall
be obligated to reimburse the Representative for its out-of-pocket
expenses on an accountable basis. Should the Representative be required
to account for "out-of-pocket" expenses, any expense incurred by the
Representative shall be deemed to be reasonable and unobjectionable
upon a reasonable showing by the Representative that such expenses were
incurred, directly or indirectly, in connection with the proposed
transaction and/or relationship of the parties hereto, as described
herein. In no event will the Representative be entitled to
reimbursement of accountable expenses exceeding $60,000, inclusive of
the $45,000 advanced against the non-accountable expense allowance. The
Representative will return to the Company any portion of the $45,000
payment previously received that is not used in the payment of
accountable expenses if the Public Offering is not completed.
e. Notwithstanding any election hereunder or any termination of
this Agreement, and whether or not this Agreement is otherwise carried
out, the provisions of Sections 5(a), 6, 8, 9, and 10 shall not be in
any way affected by such election or termination or failure to carry
out the terms of this Agreement or any part hereof.
11. Notices. All communications hereunder, except as may be otherwise
specifically provided herein, shall be in writing and, if sent to the
Representative, shall be mailed, delivered, or sent by facsimile
transmission and confirmed by original letter, to Xxxxxxxxx Securities,

12. Parties. This Agreement shall inure solely to the benefit of, and
shall be binding upon, the Underwriters, the Company, and the persons and
entities referred to in Section 8 who are entitled to indemnification or
contribution, and their respective successors, legal representatives, and
assigns (which shall not include any buyer, as such, of the Firm Shares and
Additional Shares) and no other person shall have or be construed to have
any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or in respect of or by
virtue of this Agreement or any provision herein contained.
13. Construction. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Colorado, without giving effect to conflict of
laws. Time is of the essence in this Agreement. The parties acknowledge
that this Agreement was initially prepared by the Representative, and that
all parties have read and negotiated the language used in this Agreement.
The parties agree that, because all parties participated in negotiating and
drafting this Agreement, no rule of construction shall apply to this
Agreement which construes ambiguous language in favor of or against any
party by reason of that party's role in drafting this Agreement.
If the foregoing correctly sets forth the understanding between us,
please so indicate in the space provided below for that purpose, whereupon
this letter shall constitute a binding agreement between us.
