AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. The Recitals set forth above are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement and made a part hereof. Further, Exhibits A, B and C are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement and made a part hereof.
2. At any time during the Conversion Period, each Warrant Holder may exercise his or its "B" Warrants in accordance with the terms set forth on Exhibit A by (a) delivering to the Company an executed copy of this Agreement, (b) delivering to the Company a duly executed copy of the Purchase Form attached to the "B" Warrants so exercised, (c) delivering to the Company each "B" Warrant exercised by the Warrant Holder as originally executed by the Company and delivered to the Warrant Holder in connection with the October 2006 private placement and (d) delivering to the Company the amount of cash required to pay the exercise price of the "B" Warrants so exercised in immediately available good funds as instructed by the Company.

3. Each Warrant Holder agrees that to the extent it exercises his or its "B " Warrants pursuant to this Agreement, all future rights and claims to such " B" Warrant rights are null and void, regardless of whether the original "B" Warrant agreement issued to the Warrant Holder in connection with the October 2006 private placement is surrendered.
5 . Each Warrant Holder acknowledges and agrees that the "B" Warrants, the "B" Replacement Warrants and the securities underlying the "B" Warrants and the "B" Replacement Warrants are "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

6. Each Warrant Holder acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby constitute a private placement of securities under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and the Company is relying upon the representations and warranties provided by the Warrant Holders in the Securities Purchase Agreement and Subscription Agreement (as the case may be) executed and delivered by the Warrant Holders in connection with the October 2006 private placement and each Warrant Holder therefore acknowledges and agrees that such representations and warranties are incorporated by reference herein and remade in their entirety in this Agreement.
7. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Colorado without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Colorado or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Colorado. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision(s) shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision(s) were so excluded and shall be
enforceable in accordance with its terms. This Agreement, together with all exhibits hereto, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, agreements, understandings duties or obligations between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. From and after the date of this Agreement, upon the request of a majority of the Warrant Holders or the Company, the Company and the Warrant Holders shall execute and deliver such instruments, documents or other writings as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement. This Agreement is the result of the joint efforts of the Company and the Warrant Holders, and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of the parties and there shall be no construction against any party based on any presumption of that party's involvement in the drafting thereof.

The aggregate Exercise Price for Warrant Securities being purchased hereunder may be paid either (i) by cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds or (ii) by surrender of a number of Warrant Securities which have a fair market value equal to the aggregate purchase price of the Warrant Securities being purchased (“Net Issuance”) as determined herein; provided, however, that the Net Issuance method shall only be available to the Holder commencing one year after the Exercise Date and prior to the Expiration Date. If the Holder elects the Net Issuance method of payment, the Company shall issue to Holder upon exercise a number of shares of Warrant Securities determined in accordance with the following formula:
X= |
Y(A-B) A |
|
where: | X = the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder; |

2.2. Exercise Price. The exercise price (“Exercise Price”) is $4.30 per Share, as modified in accordance with Section 4, below.
2.3. Issuance of Shares. Upon such surrender of the Warrants and payment of such Exercise Price as aforesaid, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered within three business days to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Shares so purchased upon the exercise of the Warrant, together with cash, as provided in Section 13 hereof, in respect of any fractional Shares otherwise issuable upon such surrender. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Securities, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Securities called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant, or at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to the Holder.
2.4. Effect of Exercise. Upon receipt of the Warrant by the company as described in Section 2.1 above, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Shares issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the transfer books of the Company may then be closed or that certificates representing such Shares may not have been prepared or actually delivered to the Holder.
2.5 Restrictions on Exercise Amount.
(a) Unless a Holder delivers to the Company irrevocable written notice prior to the date of issuance hereof or 61 days prior to the effective date of such notice that this Section 2.5(a) shall not apply to such Holder, the Holder may not acquire a number of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant to the extent that, upon such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) exceeds (9).99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issued and outstanding. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Commission, and the percentage held by the holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Each delivery of a notice of exercise by a Holder will constitute a representation by such Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined, based on the most recent public filings by the Company with the Commission, that the issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock requested in such notice of exercise is permitted under this paragraph.
(b) In the event the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Warrant Securities as a result of any restrictions or prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization, the Company shall as soon as possible seek the approval of its stockholders and take such other action to authorize the issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
Section 3. Transferability and Form of Warrant
3.1. Limitation on Transfer. Any assignment or transfer of a Warrant shall be made by the presentation and surrender of the Warrant to the Company at its principal office or the office of its transfer agent, if any, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment Form.

3.2. Exchange of Certificate. Any Warrant may be exchanged for another certificate or certificates entitling the Warrantholder to purchase a like aggregate number of Shares as the certificate or certificates surrendered then entitled such Warrantholder to purchase. Any Warrant holder desiring to exchange a Warrant shall make such request in writing delivered to the Company, and shall surrender, properly endorsed, with signatures guaranteed, the certificate evidencing the Warrant to be so exchanged. Thereupon, the Company shall execute and deliver to the person entitled thereto a new Warrant as so requested.
3.3. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Certificate. In case the certificate or certificates evidencing the Warrants shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall, at the request of the Warrantholder, issue and deliver in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated certificate or certificates, or in lieu of and substitution for the certificate or certificates lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant or certificates of like tenor and representing an equivalent right or interest, but only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant and a bond of indemnity, if requested, also satisfactory in form and amount, at the applicant’s cost. Applicants for such substitute Warrant shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company may prescribe.
Section 4. Adjustment of Number of Shares.
The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:
4.1. Adjustments. The number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to adjustments as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in Common Stock or make a distribution to its stockholders in Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock other securities of the Company, the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Warrant holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Shares or other securities of the Company which it would have owned or would have been entitled to receive immediately after the happening of any of the events described above, had the Warrants been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection 4.1.(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event. |
(b) [Omitted.] |
(c) [Omitted.] |
(d) No adjustment in the number of Shares purchasable pursuant to the Warrants shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in the number of Shares then purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants or, if the Warrants are not then exercisable, the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants on the first date thereafter that the Warrants become exercisable; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (4.1(d)) are not required to be made immediately shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. |
(e) Whenever the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Warrant Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter. |
(f) Whenever the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall cause to be promptly mailed to the Warrantholder by first class mail, postage prepaid, notice of such adjustment and a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Company setting forth the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants after such adjustment, a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which such adjustment was made. |
(g) For the purpose of this Section 4.1, the term “Common Stock” shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Company at the date of this Agreement, or (ii) any other class of stock resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of such Common Stock consisting solely of changes in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4, the Warrantholder shall become entitled to purchase any securities of the Company other than Common Stock, (y) if the Warrantholder’s right to purchase is on any other basis than that available to all holders of the Company’s Common Stock, the Company shall obtain an opinion of an independent investment banking firm valuing such other securities and (z) thereafter the number of such other securities so purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Shares contained in this Section (4.) |
(h) [Omitted.] |
4.2. No Adjustment for Dividends. Except as provided in Section 4.1, no adjustment in respect of any dividends or distributions out of earnings shall be made during the term of the Warrants or upon the exercise of the Warrants.
4.3. [Omitted.]
4.4. Preservation of Purchase Rights upon Reclassification, Consolidation, etc. In case the Company after the original issue date of this Warrant shall do any of the following (each, a “Triggering Event”): (a) consolidate or merge with or into any other Person and the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving legal entity as a result of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Company and the Company shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of its Common Stock(,) then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Exercise Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto (including the right of a shareholder to elect the type of consideration it will receive upon a Triggering Event), subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 4; provided, however, (A) (1) upon the consummation of a Triggering Event described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of the definition thereof (but not clause (d) of such definition) in which the consideration payable consists of cash or (2) upon the consummation of a Triggering Event described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of the definition thereof (but not clause (d) of such definition) in which the consideration payable consists of securities of a surviving entity that is not a public company with such securities registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or such securities are not listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board, then in either case the Holder at its option may(,) instead of receiving such consideration to which such Holder would have been entitled upon exercise of this Warrant, elect to receive an amount in cash upon consummation of such Triggering Event equal to the value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes formula or (B) upon the consummation of a Triggering Event described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of the definition thereof (but not clause (d) of such definition) in which the consideration payable does not trigger clause (A) of this sentence, the Holder at its option may(,) instead of receiving the consideration to which such Holder would have been entitled upon exercise of this Warrant, elect to receive an amount of such consideration with a value upon consummation of such Triggering Event equal to the value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes formula. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive Triggering Events, but the payment of any Black-Scholes amount pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall result in the termination of this Warrant.
4.5. Par Value of Shares of Common Stock. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment effectively reducing the portion of the Exercise Price allocable to each Share below the par value per share of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants.
4.6. Independent Public Accountants. The Company may retain a firm of independent public accountants of recognized national standing (which may be any such firm regularly employed by the Company) to make any computation required under this Section 4, and a certificate signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any computation made under this Section 4.
4.7. [Omitted.]
4.8. Treasury Stock. For purposes of this Section 4, shares of Common Stock owned or held at any relevant time by, or for the account of, the Company, in its treasury or otherwise, shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of the calculations and adjustments described.

(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the shareholders of its Common Stock of rights to subscribe for or purchase any securities or any other similar rights; or

(x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the shareholders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined;
(y) the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or purchase, retirement or redemption is expected to become effective, and the date, if any, as of which the Company’s shareholders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up, purchase, retirement or redemption; and
(z) if any matters referred to in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) are to be voted upon by shareholders of Common Stock, the date as of which those shareholders to be entitled to vote are to be determined.

Each such officers’ certificate shall be made available to the Holder or Holders of this Warrant for inspection at all reasonable times, and the Company, after each such adjustment, shall promptly deliver a copy of the officers’ certificate relating to that adjustment to the Holder or Holders of this Warrant. Failure to prepare or provide the officers’ certificate shall not modify the parties’rights hereunder.
Section 8. Reservation of Warrant Securities.
There has been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved so long as the Warrants remain outstanding, out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be subject to purchase under the Warrants. Every transfer agent for the Common Stock and other securities of the Company issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of authorized shares and other securities as shall be requisite for such purpose. The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with every transfer agent for the Common Stock and other securities of the Company issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants. The Company will supply every such transfer agent with duly executed stock and other certificates, as appropriate, for such purpose and will provide or otherwise make available any cash which may be payable as provided in Section 14 hereof.
Section 9. Restrictions on Transfer; Registration Rights.
9.1. Restrictions on Transfer. The Warrantholder agrees that prior to making any disposition of the Warrants, the Warrantholder shall give written notice to the Company describing briefly the manner in which any such proposed disposition is to be made; and no such disposition shall be made if the Company has notified the Warrantholder that in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Warrantholder, there is no applicable exemption from the registration requirements under the Act available for the disposition, and a registration statement or other notification or post-effective amendment thereto (hereinafter collectively a “Registration Statement”) under the Act is required with respect to such disposition and no such Registration Statement has been filed by the Company with, and declared effective, if necessary, by, the Commission.
9.2. Registration Rights. In the event the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at any time when the Warrantholder holds this Warrant (but prior to the Expiration Date) or any Warrant Securities, by filing any form of registration statement (other than Form S-4 or Form S-8 or the successor form of either of them that would legally permit the inclusion of the Warrant Securities, the Company shall give the Warrantholder written notice thereof as soon as practicable but in no event less than 30 days prior to the filing of such registration statement, and shall provide the Warrantholder an opportunity to include in such registration all Warrant Securities requested by the Warrantholder in writing to be included therein. If the Warrantholder chooses to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Warrant Securities it holds or has the right to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall, within 10 days after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Warrant Securities by the Warrantholder. If the Warrantholder decides not to include all of the Warrant Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, the Warrantholder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Warrant Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. If the registration statement for which the Warrantholder has registration rights under this Warrant is for an underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Holder. The right of the Warrantholder to be included in a registration pursuant to this Warrant shall be conditioned upon the Warrantholder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Warrant Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. If the Warrantholder elects to participate in such offering, the Warrantholder shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant, the Company, upon advice from its underwriters, reserves the right to reduce (on a pro rata basis) or eliminate the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting based upon a good faith determination that marketing factors require a limitation or elimination of the number of shares to be underwritten. If the Warrantholder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, the Warrantholder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least 10 business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. The Company shall bear the costs of each registration in which the Warrantholder participates pursuant to this Section 9.2, but excluding any underwriting discounts or commissions on the sale of Warrant Securities.
Section 10. Payment of Taxes.
The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes, if any, attributable to the initial issuance of the Warrants or the securities comprising the Shares; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer of the Warrants or the securities comprising the Shares.
Section 11. Transfer to Comply With the Securities Act of 1933
This Warrant, the Warrant Securities, and all other securities issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, may not be offered, sold or transferred, in whole or in part, except in compliance with the Act, and except in compliance with all applicable state securities laws. The Company may cause substantially the following legends, or their equivalents, to be set forth on each certificate representing the Warrant Securities, or any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, not theretofore distributed to the public or sold to underwriters, as defined by the Act, for distribution to the public pursuant to Section 8 above:
(a) “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT UNLESS, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”
(b) Any legend required by applicable state securities laws.
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legends (except a new certificate issued upon completion of a public distribution pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or the securities represented thereby) shall also bear the above legends unless, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, the securities represented thereby need no longer be subject to such restrictions.
Section 12. Fractional Shares
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of all or any part of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share of any security called for upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in money equal to that fraction multiplied by the Current Market Price of that share.
Section 13. No Rights as Stockholder; Notices to Warrantholder.
This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to exercise and payment for the Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof. The Company covenants, however, that for so long as this Warrant is at least partially unexercised, it will furnish any Holder of this Warrant with copies of all reports and communications furnished to the shareholders of the Company. In addition, if at any time prior to the expiration of the Warrants and prior to their exercise, any one or more of the following events shall occur:
(a) any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.4; or |
(b) a dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation, merger, or sale of its property, assets, and business as an entirety or substantially as an entirety) shall be proposed: |
then the Company shall give notice in writing of such event to the Warrantholder, as provided in Section 16 hereof, at least 20 days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to any relevant dividend, distribution, subscription rights or other rights or for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, or winding up. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to mail or receive notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any action taken with respect thereto.
Section 14. Charges Due Upon Exercise.
The Company shall pay any and all issue or transfer taxes, including, but not limited to, all federal or state taxes, that may be payable with respect to the transfer of this Warrant or the issue or delivery of Warrant Securities upon the exercise of this Warrant.
Section 15. Warrant Securities to be Fully Paid
The Company covenants that all Warrant Securities that may be issued and delivered to a Holder of this Warrant upon the exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price will be, upon such delivery, validly and duly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Exhibit C: Use of Proceeds
The net proceeds from this Offering, after deduction of commissions and estimated expenses (totaling an estimated $135,000 for the minimum and $185,000 for the maximum), will be approximately $2,617,000 if only the minimum of 860,000 “B” Warrants are exercised (“Minimum Offering”) , and approximately $3,792,600 if the total outstanding maximum 1,243,000 “B” Warrants are exercised (“ Maximum Offering”) . This assumes a net cash exercise price of $3.20 per “B” Warrant. We intend to use these net proceeds as follows:
Minimum |
Maximum |
|
Sales, Marketing and Promotion |
$ 600,000 |
$ 900,000 |
Inventory and Minimum Order Items |
1,200,000 |
2,000,000 |
Tooling |
100,000 |
200,000 |
Working Capital |
717,000 |
692,600 |
Total |
$2,617,000 |
$3,792,600 |
Working capital includes normal operating expenses.
If the Maximum Offering is funded , the net proceeds, current cash position and expected revenue generation are expected to meet our capital and operating requirements for a period of approximately nine to twelve months. If only the Minimum Offering is funded , the net proceeds, current cash position and expected revenue generation are expected to satisfy our capital and operating requirements for five to six months. We will retain broad discretion in the allocation and use of the net proceeds designated as working capital.
The Company is negotiating with a financial consultant for the payment of a financial consulting fee for services in connection with this transaction. Depending upon the level of the warrant conversion, we may agree to pay a consultant a fee of up to 8% of the total proceeds generated, of which no more than one-half would be payable in cash and the balance settled by selling the consultant, for nominal consideration, "B" Replacement Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock equal to 49,700 B Replacement Warrants if the maximum 1,243,000 "B" Warrant conversion occurs, or a pro rata lesser amount if less are converted.
The foregoing table represents our best estimate of the allocation of the net proceeds of this Offering based on the current status of our business and our planned future growth and operations. This estimate is based on multiple assumptions, some of which are quite speculative. If one of more of these assumptions proves materially incorrect, we may find it necessary to reallocate a portion of the net proceeds within the above categories or even use substantial proceeds for other purposes, including repayment of additional debt. Our estimates may prove to be inaccurate, we may undertake activities that will require material additional expenditures, or unforeseen material expenses may occur.
Pending the application of these net proceeds, we intend to invest them in short-term interest-bearing securities which possess investment-grade status.
While we intend to apply the proceeds as indicated, the Company’s board of directors may vary the use of proceeds as good business judgment dictates.
