NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the
Company has the right to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer has the obligation to

attached hereto (one warrant certificate for 1,666,666 shares at an exercise
price of $0.50 per share and one warrant certificate for 1,666,666 shares at an
exercise price of $0.75 per share) and upon receipt of such Purchase Shares and
Warrants pay to the Company as the purchase price therefor, via wire transfer,

such Purchase Shares are referred to herein as "Initial Purchase Shares and
together with the Commitment Shares as defined in Section 4(e) hereof, are
referred to herein as the "Initial Shares"). Upon issuance and payment therefor
as provided herein, such 3,333,332 Initial Purchase Shares shall be, validly
issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. The Initial Purchase Shares shall
be issued in certificated form and (subject to Section 5 hereof) shall bear only
the restrictive legend set forth in Section 4(e) hereof. Thereafter, the
purchase and sale of Purchase Shares hereunder shall occur from time to time
upon written notices by the Company to the Buyer on the terms and conditions as
set forth herein following the satisfaction of the conditions (the
"Commencement") as set forth in Sections 6 and 7 below (the date of satisfaction
of such conditions, the "Commencement Date").
(b) The Company's Right to Require Purchases. Any time on or after the
Commencement Date, the Company shall have the right but not the obligation to
direct the Buyer by its delivery to the Buyer of Base Purchase Notices from time
to time to buy Purchase Shares (each such purchase a "Base Purchase") in any
amount up to Eighty Thousand Dollars ($80,000.00) per Base Purchase Notice (the
"Base Purchase Amount") at the Purchase Price on the Purchase Date. The Company
may deliver multiple Base Purchase Notices to the Buyer so long as at least two
(2) Business Days have passed since the most recent Base Purchase was completed.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, any time on or after the Commencement Date, the
Company shall also have the right but not the obligation by its delivery to the
Buyer of Block Purchase Notices from time to time to direct the Buyer to buy
Purchase Shares (each such purchase a "Block Purchase") in any amount up to One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per Block Purchase Notice at the Block Purchase
Price on the Purchase Date as provided herein. For a Block Purchase Notice to be
valid the following conditions must be met: (1) the Block Purchase Amount shall
not exceed Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) per Block Purchase Notice,
(2) the Company must deliver the Purchase Shares before 11:00 a.m. eastern time
on the Purchase Date and (3) the Sale Price of the Common Stock must not be
below $0.30 (subject to equitable adjustment for any reorganization,
recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction)
during the Purchase Date, the date of the delivery of the Block Purchase Notice
and during the Business Day prior to the delivery of the Block Purchase Notice.
The Block Purchase Amount may be increased to up to Four Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($400,000.00) per Block Purchase Notice if the Sale Price of the Common
Stock is not below $0.50 (subject to equitable adjustment for any
reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other
similar transaction) during the Purchase Date, the date of the delivery of the
Block Purchase Notice and during the Business Day prior to the delivery of the
Block Purchase Notice. The Block Purchase Amount may be increased to up to Six
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000.00) per Block Purchase Notice if the Sale
Price of the Common Stock is not below $0.80 (subject to equitable adjustment
for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or
other similar transaction) during the Purchase Date, the date of the delivery of
the Block Purchase Notice and during the Business Day prior to the delivery of
the Block Purchase Notice. The Block Purchase Amount may be increased to up to
One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per Block Purchase Notice if the Sale Price
of the Common Stock is not below $1.25 (subject to equitable adjustment for any
reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other
similar transaction) during the Purchase Date, the date of the delivery of the
Block Purchase Notice and during the Business Day prior to the delivery of the
Block Purchase Notice. As used herein, the term "Block Purchase Price" shall
mean the lesser of (i) the lowest Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Purchase
Date or (ii) the lowest Purchase Price during the previous ten (10) Business
Days prior to the date that the valid Block Purchase Notice was received by the
Buyer. However, if at any time during the Purchase Date, the date of the
delivery of the Block Purchase Notice or during the Business Day prior to the
delivery of the Block Purchase Notice, the Sale Price of the Common Stock is
below the applicable Block Purchase threshold price, such Block Purchase shall
be void and the Buyer's obligations to buy Purchase Shares in respect of that
Block Purchase Notice shall be terminated. Thereafter, the Company shall again
have the right to submit a Block Purchase Notice as set forth herein by delivery
of a new Block Purchase Notice only if the Sale Price of the Common Stock is
above the applicable Block Purchase threshold price during the date of the
delivery of the Block Purchase Notice and during the Business Day prior to the
delivery of the Block Purchase Notice. The Company may deliver multiple Block
Purchase Notices to the Buyer so long as at least two (2) Business Days have
passed since the most recent Block Purchase was completed.
(c) Payment for Purchase Shares. The Buyer shall pay to the Company an
amount equal to the Purchase Amount with respect to such Purchase Shares as full
payment for such Purchase Shares via wire transfer of immediately available
funds on the same Business Day that the Buyer receives such Purchase Shares if
they are received by the Buyer before 11:00 a.m. eastern time or if received by
the Buyer after 11:00 a.m. eastern time, the next Business Day. The Company
shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any purchase. If
the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common
Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up or
down to the nearest whole share. All payments made under this Agreement shall be
made in lawful money of the United States of America or wire transfer of
immediately available funds to such account as the Company may from time to time
designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Agreement is due on
any day that is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next
succeeding day that is a Business Day.
2
(d) Purchase Price Floor. The Company and the Buyer shall not effect
any sales under this Agreement on any Purchase Date where the Purchase Price for
any purchases of Purchase Shares would be less than the Floor Price. "Floor
Price" means $0.20, which shall be appropriately adjusted for any
reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other
similar transaction.
(e) Records of Purchases. The Buyer and the Company shall each maintain
records showing the remaining Available Amount at any give time and the dates
and Purchase Amounts for each purchase or shall use such other method,
reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and the Company.

taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of any
shares of Common Stock to the Buyer made under this Agreement.

insurance coverage sought or applied for and neither the Company nor any such
Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its

on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and
unreported taxes) and has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and
charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such
returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith
and has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of
all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports
or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed
to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the
Company know of no basis for any such claim.

by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise
requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the

Securities and the Buyer's ownership of the Securities.

Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting

the option to terminate this Agreement at the close of business on such

any party to any other party under this Agreement.
Except as set forth in Sections 11(k)(i) (in respect of an Event of Default
under Sections 9(f), 9(g) and 9(h)) and 11(k)(vi), any termination of this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 11(k) shall be effected by written notice
from the Company to the Buyer, or the Buyer to the Company, as the case may be,
setting forth the basis for the termination hereof. The representations and
warranties of the Company and the Buyer contained in Sections 2, 3 and 5 hereof,
the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 8 hereof and the agreements
and covenants set forth in Section 11, shall survive the Commencement and any

21
Agreement which shall survive any such termination or (ii) under this Agreement
with respect to pending purchases and the Company and the Buyer shall complete

of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall pay, and hold the
Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and out of pocket expenses) arising in connection

deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent,

Buyer's remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition
to all other remedies available to the Buyer under this Agreement, at law or in
equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive
relief), no remedy of the Buyer contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of
compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein
shall limit the Buyer's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the
Company to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The Company acknowledges
that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to
the Buyer and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The
Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened
breach, the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available
remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
(o) Enforcement Costs. If: (i) this Agreement is placed by the Buyer
in the hands of an attorney for enforcement or is enforced by the Buyer through

any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceedings affecting

attorney is retained to represent the Buyer in any other proceedings whatsoever
in connection with this Agreement, then the Company shall pay to the Buyer, as
incurred by the Buyer, all reasonable costs and expenses including attorneys'
fees incurred in connection therewith, in addition to all other amounts due
hereunder.
(p) Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay in the
exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or
privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right,
power or privilege.

FORM OF COMPANY COUNSEL OPINION
Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein, have the meaning
set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Based on the foregoing, and
subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the
opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Colorado. The Company is qualified to do business
as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in the State of California.
2. The Company has the corporate power to execute and deliver,
and perform its obligations under, each Transaction Document to which it is a
party. The Company has the corporate power to conduct its business as, to the
best of our knowledge, it is now conducted, and to own and use the properties
owned and used by it.
3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of
the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. The execution and
delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company, the performance of the
obligations of the Company thereunder and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated therein have been duly authorized and approved by the
Company's Board of Directors and no further consent, approval or authorization
of the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders is required. The
Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party have been duly executed
and delivered by the Company and are the valid and binding obligations of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms except
as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or
affecting creditor's rights and remedies.
4. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of
the Transaction Documents, the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated thereby including the offering, sale and issuance of the Purchase
Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Common Stock Purchase
Agreement, and fulfillment and compliance with terms of the Transaction
Documents, does not and shall not: (i) conflict with, constitute a breach of or
default (or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both,
constitutes or could constitute a breach or a default), under (a) the
Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company, (b) any material
agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other material instrument to which to
our knowledge the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its
assets are bound, (ii) result in any violation of any statute, law, rule or
regulation applicable to the Company, or (iii) to our knowledge, violate any
order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries.
5. The issuance of the Purchase Shares, the Warrants and the
Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents
has been duly authorized and the Initial Shares are validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable, to our knowledge, free of all taxes, liens, charges,
restrictions, rights of first refusal and preemptive rights. _____________
shares of Common Stock have been properly reserved for issuance under the Common
Stock Purchase Agreement for future issuances of Purchase Shares. 3,333,332
shares of Common Stock have been properly reserved for issuance under the
Warrants for future issuances upon exercise of the Warrants. The Initial Shares
have been issued and paid for in accordance with the Common Stock Purchase
Agreement, the Initial Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable,
to our knowledge, free of all taxes, liens, charges, restrictions, rights of

the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Shares (other than the Initial
Purchase Shares) shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, to our
knowledge, free of all taxes, liens, charges, restrictions, rights of first
refusal and preemptive rights. When issued and paid for in accordance with the
Warrant, the Warrant Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable, to our knowledge, free of all taxes, liens, charges,
restrictions, rights of first refusal and preemptive rights. To our knowledge,
the execution and delivery of the Registration Rights Agreement do not, and the
performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder shall not, give rise to
any rights of any other person for the registration under the 1933 Act of any
shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which have not been
waived.
6. As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the
Company consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value, of which
to our knowledge __________ shares are issued and outstanding. Except as set
forth on Schedule 3(c) of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, to our knowledge,
there are no outstanding shares of capital stock or other securities convertible
into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of the capital stock of the
Company.
7. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and your
compliance with the covenants made by you in the Transaction Documents, the
offering, sale and issuance of the 6,833,332 Initial Shares and the Warrants to
you pursuant to the Transaction Documents was exempt from registration under the
1933 Act and the securities laws and regulations of the State of Colorado and
the State of California.
8. Other than that which has been obtained and completed prior
to the date hereof, no authorization, approval, consent, filing or other order
of any federal or state governmental body, regulatory agency, or stock exchange
or market, or any court, or, to our knowledge, any third party is required to be
obtained by the Company to enter into and perform its obligations under the
Transaction Documents or for the Company to issue and sell the Purchase Shares
as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
9. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of
the 1934 Act. To our knowledge, since January 1, 2006, the Company has not
received any written notice from the Principal Market stating that the Company
has not been in compliance with any of the rules and regulations (including the
requirements for continued listing) of the Principal Market.
We further advise you that to our knowledge, except as disclosed on
Schedule 3(h) in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, there is no action, suit,
proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board or
body, any governmental agency, any stock exchange or market, or self-regulatory
organization, which has been threatened in writing or which is currently pending
against the Company, any of its subsidiaries, any officers or directors of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of the properties of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries.
In addition, we have participated in the preparation of the
Registration Statement (SEC File #________) covering the sale of the Warrant
Shares and the Purchase Shares (including the Initial Shares), including the
prospectus dated ____________, contained therein and in conferences with
officers and other representatives of the Company (including the Company's
independent auditors) during which the contents of the Registration Statement
and related matters were discussed and reviewed and, although we are not passing
upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or
fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, on the basis
of the information that was developed in the course of the performance of the
services referred to above, considered in the light of our understanding of the
applicable law, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the
Registration Statement (other than the financial statements and schedules and
the other financial and statistical data included therein, as to which we
express no belief), as of their dates, contained any untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.
