made any finding or determination as to the fairness of an investment in the

information as Subscriber has desired regarding the business, financial
condition and affairs of the Company.

United States federal income tax laws with respect to Subscriber’s share of any
losses or expenses of the Company, and no representations have been made to
Subscriber that any such benefits will be available as a result of Subscriber’s
acquisition, ownership or disposition of the Shares.
(s) All
information that Subscriber has supplied to the Company or its representatives
or agents, including the information herein and in Appendix A attached
hereto, in connection with the determination of whether to accept Subscriber’s
subscription, is true and complete.
7. Representations, Warranties

under the laws of the State of Colorado and is duly licensed or qualified to
transact business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each

condition (financial or otherwise) or assets of the Company. The
Company has full power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to own and hold
its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to
be conducted, to execute, deliver and perform this Subscription Agreement and

(c) The

applicable to the Company’s Series C Warrants and Series D Warrants as set forth
in the Private Placement Memorandum.
(d) Upon
acceptance by the Company, this Subscription Agreement shall be duly executed
and delivered by the Company and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms. Upon

validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, except as such non-assessability
may be affected by the Colorado Business Corporation Act.
(e) There
is no action, suit, proceeding at law or in equity, arbitration or
administrative or other proceeding pending, or to the Company’s knowledge
threatened, against or affecting the Company or any of their properties or
rights which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s business, condition (financial or otherwise) or
assets.
8. Transfer
Restrictions.
(a) Subscriber
agrees that it will not sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares unless such sale
or other disposition has been registered or is exempt from registration under
the Securities Act and has been registered or qualified or is exempt from
registration or qualification under applicable securities laws of any state.
Subscriber agrees that, prior to selling or otherwise disposing of any of the
Shares pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act, the Company may
require an opinion of counsel selected by the Company, the form and substance of
which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect
that such sale or disposition does not require registration of such Shares under
the Securities Act.
5
(b) The
Subscriber hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Shares
under the Registration Statement without complying with the provisions of this
Agreement and without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirement
under the Securities Act to be satisfied (whether physically or through
compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act or any similar rule), and the
Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that such Shares are not transferable on the
books of the Company unless the certificate submitted to the transfer agent
evidencing the Shares is accompanied by a separate Subscriber’s Certificate of
Subsequent Sale: (i) in the form of Appendix B hereto,
(ii) executed by an officer of, or other authorized person designated by, the
Subscriber, and (iii) to the effect that (A) the Shares have been sold in
accordance with the Registration Statement, the Securities Act, and any
applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws, and (B) the prospectus delivery
requirement effectively has been satisfied. The Subscriber
acknowledges that there may occasionally be times when the Company must suspend
the use of the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) forming
a part of the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until
such time as an amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed by the
Company and declared effective by the Commission, or until such time as the
Company has filed an appropriate report with the Commission pursuant to the
Exchange Act. Without the Company’s prior written consent, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, the Subscriber shall not
use any written materials to offer the Shares for resale other than the
Prospectus, including any “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under
the Securities Act. The Subscriber covenants that it will not sell
any Shares pursuant to said Prospectus during the period commencing at the time
when the Company gives the Subscriber written notice of the suspension of the
use of said Prospectus and ending at the time when the Company gives the
Subscriber written notice that the Subscriber may thereafter effect sales
pursuant to said Prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company agrees that no Suspension shall be for a period of longer than 60
consecutive days, and no Suspension shall be for a period longer than 120 days
in the aggregate in any 12 month period. The Subscriber further
covenants to notify the Company promptly of the sale of all of its Shares. The
term “Registration
Statement” shall include any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus,
free writing prospectus, exhibit, supplement, or amendment included in or
relating to, and any document incorporated by reference in, the Registration
Statement. At any time that the Subscriber is an affiliate of the
Company, any resale of the Shares that purports to be effected under Rule 144
shall comply with all of the requirements of such rule, including the “manner of
sale” requirements set forth in Rule 144(f).
(c) The
Subscriber understands that, until such time as the Registration Statement has
been declared effective or the Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a
particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Shares will bear a
restrictive legend in substantially the following form:
“THE
SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS
OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED,
SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH
ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE SECURITIES LAWS OF OTHER
JURISDICTIONS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS
THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT
THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND
SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS.”
6
(d) The
Company agrees that following such time as the legend referred to in Section
8(c) is no longer required, it will, no later than ten trading days following
the delivery by a Subscriber to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a
certificate representing the Shares, as the case may be, issued with a
restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Subscriber a
certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other
legends. The Company shall cause legal counsel to issue an opinion to the
Transfer Agent promptly if the Transfer Agent conditions the removal of the
legend on receipt of such an opinion. The Transfer Agent and any applicable
broker shall each be instructed not to recognize any transfer by a Subscriber
that does not comply with this Agreement.
(e) Subscriber
acknowledges and agrees that it has received material nonpublic information in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that it will
not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares unless such material
nonpublic information has been publicly disclosed or no longer constitutes
material nonpublic information.
9. Authorization of Common
Stock. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to
take all action necessary in accordance with applicable law and the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws to duly call and hold a meeting of the Company’s
stockholders (the “Company Meeting”) for
the purpose of considering and voting upon a proposal to amend the Articles of
Incorporation to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for
issuance by the Company to a number of shares sufficient to satisfy the
requirements of the Company, which shall be no less 250,000,000 shares of Common
Stock (the “Proposed
Share Increase”). The Company shall take all commercially
reasonable action necessary to hold the Company Meeting on or prior to June 1,
2010, including complying with the Exchange Act. The Company shall
not require any vote greater than a majority of the outstanding shares of
capital stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon, and a majority of the
outstanding stock of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class, for
approval of the Proposed Share Increase.
7
10. Limited Conversion of
Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Company shall not effect any conversion of the Shares, and a Subscriber shall
not have the right to convert any portion of the Shares, to the extent that,
after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable notice of
conversion, such Subscriber (together with such Subscriber’s Affiliates, and any
Persons acting as a group together with such Subscriber or any of such
Subscriber’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the
foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by
such Subscriber and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares with respect to which such
determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common
Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted
Shares beneficially owned by such Subscriber or any of its Affiliates and (ii)
exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other
securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or
exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without
limitation, the Shares) beneficially owned by such Subscriber or any of its
Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for
purposes of this Section 10, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained
in this Section 10 applies, the determination of whether the Shares is
convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Subscriber together
with any Affiliates) and of how many shares of Shares are convertible shall be
in the sole discretion of such Subscriber, exercised in good faith, and the
submission of a notice of conversion shall be deemed to be such Subscriber ’s
determination of whether the Shares may be converted (in relation to other
securities owned by such Subscriber together with any Affiliates) and how many
Shares are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Subscriber will be
deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a notice of conversion
that has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the
Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such
determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as
contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. For purposes of this Section 10, in determining the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Subscriber may rely on the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the
following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent
public announcement by the Company or (iii) a more recent written notice by the
Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Subscriber, the
Company shall within two business days confirm orally and in writing to such
Subscriber the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In
any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined
after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company,
including the Shares, by such Subscriber or its Affiliates since the date as of
which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The
“Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.9% of the number of shares of the
Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Shares held by the applicable
Subscriber. A Subscriber, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to
the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
provisions of this Section 10 applicable to its Shares provided that the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.9% of the number of shares
of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance
of Common Stock upon conversion of this Shares held by the Subscriber and the
provisions of this Section 10 shall continue to apply. Any such
increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice
is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Subscriber and no other
Subscriber. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and
implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of
this Section 10 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be
defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation
contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to
properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in
this paragraph shall apply to a successor Subscriber of Shares.
11. Indemnification. Subscriber recognizes that the offer and sale of Series
A Preferred Stock to Subscriber will be based on the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements made by Subscriber herein and on the
certifications made, and information furnished, by Subscriber in Appendix A attached
hereto. Subscriber hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and its directors, members, officers, employees, consultants,
representatives and agents against and from any and all causes of action,
charges, claims, damages, demands, liabilities, losses, obligations, penalties
and other recoveries and any and all related costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising, directly or indirectly,
from:

(a) any
material breach by Subscriber of the representations, warranties or covenants
made by Subscriber herein or in Appendix A attached
hereto;

material omission of fact by Subscriber herein or in Appendix A attached
hereto; or
(c) any
resale or other distribution of Series A Preferred Stock by Subscriber in
violation of the Securities Act or any securities laws of any applicable state
or foreign jurisdiction.
12. Revocation. Subscriber
acknowledges that upon delivery of this Subscription Agreement to the Company,
it may not cancel, terminate or revoke this Subscription Agreement or any
agreement of the Subscriber made hereunder and that this Subscription Agreement
shall survive the death or disability of the Subscriber (as applicable) and
shall be binding upon the Subscriber’s heirs, executors, administrators, legal
representatives, successors and assigns, as applicable.
13. Survival. All
representations, certifications, warranties, understandings, covenants,
agreements and furnished information contained in this Subscription Agreement
(including, without limitation, the indemnification provisions hereof) and in
Appendix A attached hereto shall
survive the acceptance of this Subscription Agreement by the Company, the
issuance and delivery of the Shares to Subscriber and the liquidation,
dissolution or termination (as applicable) of Subscriber.
14. Governing
Law. This Subscription Agreement shall be governed by,
construed under, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas,
without regard to its conflict of laws rules.
15. Execution in
Counterparts. This Subscription Agreement may be executed in
multiple counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which
shall constitute one instrument.
16. Further
Assurances. In connection with this Subscription Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby, Subscriber shall execute and deliver any
additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be
necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this
Subscription Agreement and those transactions.
17. Severability. If any
provision of the Subscription Agreement is rendered or declared illegal or
unenforceable by reason of any existing or subsequently enacted legislation or
by decree of a court of last resort, the Company and Subscriber shall promptly
meet and negotiate substitute provisions for those rendered or declared illegal
or unenforceable and amend this Subscription Agreement accordingly, but all of
the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect.
9
18. Entire
Agreement. This Subscription Agreement and the documents
referenced herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the
