properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation of any of the provisions
of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other
organizational or charter documents. The Company is duly qualified to conduct
business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in
each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property

material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business or
financial condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or

corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions
contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its

on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company in

Transaction Document has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by
the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof assuming
such Transaction Documents are duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Purchasers as applicable, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of
the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except
(i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy,

affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws

or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement,
credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary

arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to
issue additional shares of Common Stock, or securities or rights convertible or
exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, other than as set forth in the SEC
Reports. The issue and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to
issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the
Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities
to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such
securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are

compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such

rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. Except with respect to the

or the issuance of the Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. With
respect to the Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, the Company
shall increase its authorized capital in amount sufficient to provide for the
exercise of all outstanding Warrants of the Company. Except as disclosed in the

similar agreements with respect to the Company’s capital stock to which the

Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of the
Trading Market.
 
(p)           Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Company’s Common Stock
is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has
taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the
effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange
Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is
contemplating terminating such registration. Except as disclosed in the SEC
Reports, the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof,

listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the
listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market.
 
(q)           Disclosure. The Company understands and confirms that the
Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representations and covenants in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosure provided to the
Purchasers regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated
hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on
behalf of the Company are true and correct and do not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in
order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.
 
(r)           General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor, to the Company’s
knowledge, any person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of
the Units by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. To the
Company’s knowledge, based upon representations by such Purchasers or other
investors, the Company has offered the Units for sale only to the Purchasers and
certain other “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the
Securities Act.

3.2.           Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. The Purchasers
acknowledge that the offering of Securities to the Purchasers is intended to be
exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder,
which is in part dependent upon the truth, completeness and accuracy of the
representations made by the Purchasers in this Agreement. Each Purchaser hereby,
for itself and for no other Purchaser, represents and warrants as of the date
hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows:
 
(a)           No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated
hereby or relating hereto do not and will not (i) result in a violation of such
Purchaser’s charter documents or bylaws or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a
default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a
default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation of any agreement, indenture or instrument to which
the Purchaser is a party, or conflict with, breach or violate any Law applicable
to the Purchaser or its properties (except for such conflicts, defaults and
violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect on such Purchaser). The Purchaser is not required to obtain any
consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any
court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any
of such Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement or to purchase the
securities from the Company in accordance with the terms hereof, provided that
for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, the Purchaser is
assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and
agreements of the Company herein.
 
(b)           Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is an entity duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate or partnership power
and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by
the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder.
The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate or partnership action on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction
Document to which it is party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when
delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute
the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against
it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable
principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and
other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific
performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as
indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
 
(c)           Purchaser’s Intent. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities
are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities
Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as
principal for its own account (this representation and warranty not limiting
such Purchaser’s right to sell the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement
or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and
in accordance with the Transaction Documents). Such Purchaser is acquiring the
Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Purchaser does
not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person
to distribute any of the Securities.
12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(d)           Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the
Securities, it was, and at the date hereof and as of the Closing Date it is an
“accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. Such
Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15
of the Exchange Act. Such Purchaser understands that such Purchaser’s investment
in the Securities being purchased from the Company involve a high degree of
risk. Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency
or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any
recommendation or endorsement of the Securities being purchased by such
Purchaser from the Company. Such Purchaser warrants that such Purchaser is able
to bear the complete loss of such Purchaser’s investment in the securities being
purchased from the Company.
 
(e)           Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or
together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and
experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so
evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to
bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present
time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
 
(f)           Full Access. Such Purchaser has been given full access to such
records of the Company and the Subsidiaries and to the officers and directors of
the Company (including the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers
from such Persons) and the Subsidiaries as it has deemed necessary or
appropriate.
 
(g)           General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the
Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other
communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or
similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar
or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
 
(h)           Compliance with Patriot Act. The funds utilized by such Purchaser
for the purchase of the Securities do not violate any provisions of the USA
Patriot Act of 2001.
 
(i)           Beneficial Ownership. The Purchaser (other than Sun Solunet) and
its affiliates do not beneficially own more than 4.9% of the Common Stock as of
the date hereof. The Purchaser (other than Sun Solunet) shall not exercise the
Warrants or convert the Preferred Shares to the extent that such exercise or
conversion would result in beneficial ownership by the Purchaser and its
affiliates of more than 4.9% of the then outstanding number of shares of Common
Stock on such date. For the purposes of this subsection, beneficial ownership
shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and
Regulation 13d-3 promulgated thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such
Purchaser, to the extent such purchase of the Securities causes such Purchaser’s
beneficial ownership to exceed 4.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company,
will qualify for filing on a Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act.
13

(j)           Blue Sky Compliance. Such Purchaser shall agree to comply with any
state blue sky limitations on the resale of the Securities, if any.
 
(k)           Certain Fees. Except for fees payable to Monarch Capital Group
LLC, no brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the
Purchasers to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement
agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchasers shall have no obligation with
respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other
Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
 
(l)           Investment Decision. The Purchaser is making its own investment
decision to invest in the Securities and has not relied on any representation
(oral or written other than as set forth in this Agreement).
 
ARTICLE IV
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
 
4.1.           Transfer Restrictions. The Securities may only be disposed of in
compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any
transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration
statement or Rule 144, to the Company, to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in
connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(a), the Company may
require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel
selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does
not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities
Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to
be bound by the applicable terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of
a Purchaser under this Agreement, the Certificate of Designations and the
Registration Rights Agreement.
 
(a)           The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by
this Section 4.1(a), of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT
TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO
AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO
THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A
BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A
FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a)
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
So long as any pledgee, secured party or transferee provides a questionnaire to
the Company demonstrating to the Company that such pledgee or transferee is an
“accredited investor,” the Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may
from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a
registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the
Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as
defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms
of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities
to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be
subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the
pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith.
Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate
Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable
documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request
in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the
Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement
under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of
the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders
thereunder.
 
(b)           Certificates evidencing the Shares shall not contain any legend
(including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(a)), (i) while a registration
statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such
security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of
such Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Shares are eligible for sale
under Rule 144(k) and a request for the removal has been provided in writing by
the Purchasers to the Company, or (iv) if such legend is not required under
applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the Commission) and a
request for the removal has been provided in writing by the Purchasers to the
Company. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the
Company’s transfer agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the
Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder with
respect to the Shares registered thereunder, subject to any state blue sky law
limitations. If any Preferred Shares are converted or if all or any portion of a
Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement
to cover the resale of the Shares for which the Preferred Shares are converted
or the applicable portion of the Warrant has been exercised, such Shares shall
be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective
Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section
4.1(b), it will, no later than five Trading Days following the delivery by a
Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate
representing Shares issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be
delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is
free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any
notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the
Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.
 
(c)           Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other
Purchasers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates
representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the
Company’s reliance that such Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to
either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any
applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.
15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
4.2.           Furnishing of Information. As long as any Purchaser owns
Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in
respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports
required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the
Exchange Act. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not
required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to
the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such
information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule
144 to the extent Rule 144 is available for such sale. The Company further
covenants that it will take such further reasonable action as any holder of
Securities may reasonably request, to the extent required from time to time to
enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the
Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.
 
4.3.           Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or
solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as
defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that (X) would be integrated with
the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the
registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the
Purchasers or (Y) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the
Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such
that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other
transaction unless such shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of
such subsequent transaction.
 
4.4.           Shareholders Rights Plan. Except as set forth in the Disclosure
Schedule, no claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, to the knowledge
of the Company, any other Person that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person”
under any shareholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or
hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to
trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving
Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between
the Company and the Purchasers.
 
4.5.           Non-Public Information. The Purchasers (other than Sun Solunet)
have all executed a written agreement with the Company regarding the
confidentiality and use of any information provided to the Purchasers (other
than Sun Solunet) by the Company that constitutes material non-public
information. Except for the power-point presentation made to the Purchasers
(other than Sun Solunet) by the Company and any information covered by the
aforementioned confidentiality agreement, each Purchaser (other than Sun
Solunet) acknowledges and the Company confirms that neither the Company nor, to
its knowledge, any other person acting on the Company’s behalf, has provided any
of the Purchasers (other than Sun Solunet) or their agents or counsel with any
other information that constitutes material, non-public information.
 
4.6.           Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the
sale of the Securities (excluding amounts paid by the Company for legal and
administrative fees in connection with the sale of the Securities) hereunder for
the paydown or payoff of outstanding debt, including some of the outstanding
amounts owed to Sun Solunet, working capital and general corporate purposes.
16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
4.7.           Reimbursement. If any Purchaser becomes involved in any capacity
in any Proceeding by or against any Person who is a stockholder of the Company
(except as a result of sales, pledges, margin sales and similar transactions by
such Purchaser to or with any current stockholder), solely as a result of such
Purchaser’s acquisition of the Securities under this Agreement, the Company will
reimburse such Purchaser for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including
the cost of any investigation preparation and travel in connection therewith)
incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred. The
reimbursement obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend
upon the same terms and conditions to any Affiliates of the Purchasers who are
actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation, and partners,
directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may
be, of the Purchasers and any such Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal
representatives of the Company, the Purchasers and any such Affiliate and any
such Person. The Company also agrees that neither the Purchasers nor any such
Affiliates, partners, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons shall
have any liability to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or
in right of the Company solely as a result of acquiring the Securities under
this Agreement.
 
4.8.           Indemnification of Purchasers. The Company will indemnify and
hold the Purchasers and their directors, officers, shareholders, partners,
employees and agents (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all
losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and
expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser
Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to: (a) any
misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in
the other Transaction Documents; or (b) any cause of action, suit or claim
brought or made against such Purchaser Party and arising solely out of or solely
resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this
Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and without causation by any
other activity, obligation, condition or liability pertaining to such Purchaser.
The Company will reimburse such Purchaser for its reasonable legal and other
expenses (including the cost of any investigation, preparation and travel in
connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are
incurred; provided, however, that absent an actual conflict of interest with
respect to all Purchasers involved in any such matter for which indemnification
claim is made hereunder, the Company shall pay only one reasonable counsel fee
for the representation of all Purchasers in such matter.
 
4.9.           Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company
has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all
times, free of preemptive rights, 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock for the
purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares. The Company shall increase its
authorized capital in an amount sufficient to provide for the conversion of all
the Preferred Stock and exercise of all of the outstanding Warrants of the
Company. Until such time as the Company has so increased its authorized capital,
each Purchaser shall each be entitled to convert the Preferred Stock and
exercise the Warrants held by them on a pro rata basis with the other
Purchasers, weighted on the basis of the respective Subscription Amounts paid to
the Company by each Purchaser.
17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
4.10.           Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use
commercially reasonably efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the
Common Stock on the Trading Market, and as soon as reasonably practicable
following the Closing (but not later than the earlier of the Effective Date and
the first anniversary of the Closing Date) to list all of the Shares on the
Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the
Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in such
application all of the Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary
to cause all of the Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market
as promptly as possible. The Company will take all action reasonably necessary
to continue the listing and/or quotation and trading of its Common Stock on a
Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting,
filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.
 
4.11.           Equal Treatment of Purchasers. Following the execution and
delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto, no consideration shall be
offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of
any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration
is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. For
clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to
each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and
is intended to treat for the Company the Purchasers as a class and shall not in
any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with
respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.
 
4.12.           No Net Short Position. Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not
jointly with any other Purchasers, that they or any Person acting at the request
or direction of Purchaser, nor any Affiliate, will not enter into any Short
Sales (as hereinafter defined) from the period commencing on the Closing Date
and ending on the date that such Purchaser no longer holds any Shares. For
purposes of this Section 4.12, a “Short Sale” by any Purchaser shall mean a sale
of Common Stock by such Purchaser that is marked as a short sale and that is
made at a time when there is no equivalent offsetting long position in Common
Stock held by such Purchaser. For purposes of determining whether there is an
equivalent offsetting long position in Common Stock held by the Purchaser,
Shares that have not yet been converted or exercised pursuant to the Certificate
of Designations or the Warrants shall be deemed to be held long by the
Purchaser, and the amount of shares of Common Stock held in a long position
shall be all Shares held by such Purchaser on such date, plus any shares of
Common Stock otherwise then held by such Purchaser. Additionally, each Purchaser
understands and acknowledges, severally and not jointly with any other
Purchaser, that the Commission currently takes the position that coverage of
short sales of shares of the Common Stock “against the box” prior to the
Effective Date of the Registration Statement with the Shares purchased hereunder
is a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act, as set forth in Item 65,
Section 5 under Section A, of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone
Interpretations, dated July 1997, compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel,
Division of Corporation Finance. Accordingly, each Purchaser hereby agrees not
to use any of the Shares to directly cover any short sales made prior to the
Effective Date.
 
4.13.           Corporate Existence; Conflicting Agreements. The Company will
take all steps necessary to preserve and continue the corporate existence of the
Company to the extent that failure to so preserve and continue the corporate
existence of the Company would restrict or impair the right or ability of the
Company or any successor to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement
or any of the other agreements attached as exhibits hereto. The Company shall
not enter into any agreement, the terms of which agreement would restrict or
impair the right or ability of the Company or any successor to perform any of
its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other agreements attached as
exhibits hereto.
18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
4.14.         Lock-Up Agreement. The Company shall cause the officers and inside
directors that are employees of the Company to execute a lock-up agreement
hereto restricting such Persons from selling any shares of Common Stock for a
one-year period commencing on the date of this Agreement.

against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought. No waiver of any default
with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall
be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent
default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof
(unless it so provides by its terms), nor shall any delay or omission of either
party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any

parties need not sign the same counterpart. 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.
 
5.11.           Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the
remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid
and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so
agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
 
5.12.           Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument
evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company
shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate
or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable
indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument
under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs
associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
 
5.13.           Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the
Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the
Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of
obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in
any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a
remedy at law would be adequate.
21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
5.14.           Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The
obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not
joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be
responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto,
shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a
joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document. Each
Purchaser shall be entitled independently to protect and enforce its rights,
including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of
the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other
Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose. Each Purchaser has been or has had the opportunity to be represented by
its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction
Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms
and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it
was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers.

ESCROW AGREEMENT
 
THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT, dated February 22, 2006 (this “Escrow Agreement”) is
entered into by and among SAN Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), Monarch Capital
Group, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
(the “Escrow Agent”).
 
WHEREAS, the Company proposes to sell the Company’s newly designated convertible
preferred stock, and warrants to purchase common stock of the Company (the
“Securities”) to investors (the subscribers of the Securities pursuant to this
offering are hereinafter referred to as “Investors”), in a private offering to
accredited investors pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended and Regulation D promulgated thereunder (the “Offering”);
 
WHEREAS, the Securities to be sold will be sold in units (the “Units”), for
which each Investor other than Sun Solunet, LLC (“Sun Solunet”) will pay $50,000
cash per Unit and for which Sun Solunet will pay a lesser purchase price per
Unit, such purchase price to be paid in the form of the exchange of debt owed by
the Company to Sun Solunet and, as a result, no funds relating to the Units to
be purchased by Sun Solunet are expected to be deposited into the Escrow Account
(as hereafter defined);
 
WHEREAS, the Company and the Placement Agent propose to establish a separate,
non-interest bearing escrow account with the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow
Account”), to which subscription monies which are received by the Escrow Agent
from the Placement Agent in connection with the Offering are to be credited, and
the Escrow Agent is willing to establish the Escrow Account to be held for the
benefit of the Investors and the Company on the terms and subject to the
conditions hereinafter set forth; and
 
WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent is willing to accept appointment as Escrow Agent for
only the expressed duties, terms and conditions outlined herein.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above and other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
 
1. Proceeds to be Escrowed. The form of subscription agreement to be executed by
each Investor in connection with the purchase of the Units is included in the
Securities Purchase Agreement among the Company and the Investors relating to
the Offering and the sale of the Units (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).
The most recent draft of the Securities Purchase Agreement is attached as
Exhibit B. All funds from Investors (“Investors Funds”) received by the Company
or the Placement Agent for the purchase of Units pursuant to the Offering shall
be deposited with or wired to the Escrow Agent (pursuant to written instructions
provided by the Escrow Agent) promptly following the day upon which such
proceeds are received by the Placement Agent or the Company. The Investors may
directly forward Investor Funds to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the written
instructions described in the preceding sentence. The Escrow Agent shall
establish the Escrow Account and shall promptly deposit all Investor Funds
received by the Escrow Agent into the Escrow Account. During the term of this
Agreement, the Company and the Placement Agent shall cause all checks received
by and made payable to it in payment for such Units to be endorsed in favor of
the Escrow Account.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
In the event that any checks deposited in the Escrow Account prove uncollectible
after the funds represented thereby have been released by the Escrow Agent, then
the Company shall promptly reimburse the Escrow Agent for any and all costs
incurred for such, upon request, and the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the
returned checks to the prospective Investor based on the information provided
about the Investors set forth in Section 2. In the event the Escrow Agent has
insufficient information to do so, the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the
returned checks to the Placement Agent who shall promptly deliver the returned
checks to the applicable prospective Investor.
 
2. Identity of Investors. The Company shall furnish to the Escrow Agent with
each delivery of funds, as provided in paragraph 1 hereof, a list of the persons
who have paid money for the purchase of Units showing the name, address, tax
identification number, amount of Units subscribed for, and the amount of money
paid. The information comprising the identity of investors shall be provided to
the Escrow Agent in the format set forth in the List of Investors, attached as
Exhibit C. All proceeds so deposited shall remain the property of the Investors
and shall not be subject to any liens or charges by the parties to this
Agreement, or judgments or creditors’ claims against the Company, until released
to the Company or returned to the Investors as hereinafter provided. The Escrow
Agent will not use the information provided to it by the Company or the
Placement Agent for any purpose other than to fulfill its obligations as the
Escrow Agent. The parties to this Agreement shall treat all Investor information
as confidential.
 
3. Disbursement of Funds. From time to time, and at the end of the third
business day following the Termination Date (as defined in paragraph 4 hereof)
and upon request, the Escrow Agent shall notify the Company and the Placement
Agent of the amount of Investors Funds received hereunder. Upon written
instructions from the Company and the Placement Agent, the Escrow Agent shall
release some or all of the Investor Funds as directed in such instructions as
long as such instructions are received prior to the close of regular banking
hours of the Escrow Agent on the Termination Date. To the extent that any of the
Investor Funds are to be released to the Company, any such written instructions
shall include a statement that the Securities Purchase Agreement with respect to
the Offering is duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Investors.
If, as of the Termination Date, any funds remain on the deposit in the Escrow
Account and no instructions from the Company and the Placement Agent have been
received with respect thereto, the Escrow Agent shall promptly refund to each
applicable Investor at the address appearing on the List of Investors, or at
such other address as shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent by such Investor in
writing, all sums paid by such Investor pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement for Units, and shall then notify the Company and the Placement Agent
in writing of such refunds.
 
4. Term of Escrow. The “Termination Date” shall be the earliest to occur of: (i)
April 30, 2006, unless extended from time to time in writing by the Issuer and
the Placement Agent with written notice of such extension provided to the Escrow
Agent; provided, that such extensions shall be permitted up to a year from the
date of this Agreement); (ii) the date all the Investor Funds are disbursed
pursuant to Section 3; and (iii) the date specified on a written notice from the
Company to the Escrow Agent that the Company is abandoning the sale of the
Units. In all events, this Agreement shall terminate upon the one year
anniversary from the date of this Agreement.
2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
5. Duty and Liability of the Escrow Agent. The sole duty of the Escrow Agent,
other than as herein specified, shall be to receive said funds and hold them
subject to release, in accordance herewith, and the Escrow Agent shall be under
no duty to determine whether the Company and the Placement Agent are complying
with requirements of this Agreement in tendering to the Escrow Agent said
proceeds of the sale of said Units. The Escrow Agent may conclusively rely upon
and shall be protected in acting upon any statement, certificate, notice,
request, consent, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Agent
shall have no duty or liability to verify any such statement, certificate,
notice, request, consent, order or other document, and its sole responsibility
shall be to act only as expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Escrow Agent
shall be under no obligation to institute or defend any action, suit or
proceeding in connection with this Agreement unless first indemnified to its
satisfaction. The Escrow Agent may consult reputable counsel of its own choice
(which may be in-house counsel) in respect of any question arising under this
Agreement and the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted in good faith upon advice of such counsel.
 
6. Escrow Agent’s Fee. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to compensation for
its services as stated in the fee schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A, which
compensation shall be paid by the Company. The fee agreed upon for the services
rendered hereunder is intended as full compensation for the Escrow Agent’s
services as contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event
that the conditions for the disbursement of funds under this Agreement are not
fulfilled, or the Escrow Agent renders any material service not contemplated in
this Agreement, or there is any assignment of interest in the subject matter of
this Agreement, or any material modification hereof, or if any material
controversy arises hereunder, or the Escrow Agent is made a party to any
litigation pertaining to this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, then the
Escrow Agent shall be reasonably compensated for such extraordinary services and
reimbursed for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees,
occasioned by any delay, controversy, litigation or event, and the same shall be
recoverable from the Company.
 
7. Non-Investment of Investor Funds. The Escrow Account shall be a non-interest
bearing account and Investor Funds deposited into the Escrow Account shall
remain uninvested.
 
8. Acceptance of Subscriptions; Issuance of Securities. The Company and the
Placement Agent acknowledge and agree that (i) the Offering will not be effected
until a binding Securities Purchase Agreement with respect to the Offering is
duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Investors; and (ii) the
issuance of the Securities in the Offering will occur simultaneous to or after
the Investor Funds relating to such Units have been released to the Company. The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that an offer to purchase Units by an
Investor as evidenced by a deposit of Investor Funds in the Escrow Account shall
not be accepted by the Company until the Investor Funds relating thereto shall
be disbursed to the Company pursuant to Section 3 and may be returned to any
such potential Investor prior to disbursement to the Company in accordance with
Section 3.

file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made
by the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement within 20 calendar
days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the Commission that such
amendment is required in order for a Registration Statement to be declared
effective, assuming the Company’s financial statements are not stale as of the
time of filing of such Registration Statement and that the Commission has not
commented upon the financial statements of the Company and any such comments

effective, or the Holders are not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to
resell such Registrable Securities, for in any such case 10 calendar consecutive
days but no more than an aggregate of 15 calendar days during any 12 month
period (which need not be consecutive Trading Days)(any such failure or breach
being referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of clause (iii) the date on
which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (i) the date on which such
seven Trading Day period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (ii) the date
which such 20 calendar days is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (iv) the date
on which such 10 or 15 calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being
referred to as “Event Date”), then in addition to any other rights the Holders
may have hereunder or under applicable law: (x) on each such applicable Event
Date the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 2.0% of the aggregate purchase
price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for any Registrable
Securities then held by such Holder; and (y) on each monthly anniversary of each
such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date)
until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an
amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, 2.0% of the
aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement
for any Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. If the Company fails to
pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven
days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of
12% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by
applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial
liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon,
are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof
shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the
cure of an Event.

thereto, provide notice of such filing and, upon written request, furnish to the
Holders copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (including documents
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference to the extent requested by such
Person). Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed Questionnaire
in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex B (a “Selling Shareholder
Questionnaire”) by the end of the fourth Trading Day following the date on which
such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this Section. Any delay
in filing the Registration Statement as a result of the failure of the Holder to
deliver a Selling Shareholder Questionnaire by the end of the fourth Trading
Day, shall extend the Effectiveness Date by a number of days equal to the number
of days after the fourth Trading Day in which the Holder has delivered to the
Company a completed Selling Shareholder Questionnaire.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(b)           (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments,

Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission
such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under
the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related
Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement,
and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii)
respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the
Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto
and, as promptly as reasonably possible, upon written request, provide the
Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the
Commission relating to the Registration Statement; and (iv) to the extent it is
in the control of the Company, comply in all material respects with the
provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the
disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement
during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in the Registration Statement as so
amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.
 
(c)           Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold as
promptly as reasonably possible and (if requested in writing by any such Person)
confirm such notice in writing promptly following the day (i)(A) when a
Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies
the Company whether there will be a “review” of the Registration Statement and
whenever the Commission comments in writing on the Registration Statement (the
Company shall upon written request provide true and complete copies thereof and
all written responses thereto to each of the Holders); and (C) with respect to
the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has
become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or
state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the
Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the Registration
Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by
the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or
all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that
purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to
the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of
the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or
threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any
event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in the
Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in
the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that
requires any revisions to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other
documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus,
as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(d)           Use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or,
if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or
exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in
any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
 
(e)           Furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed
copy of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto promptly after the
filing of such documents with the Commission.
 
(f)           Promptly deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies of
the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each
amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request in
connection with resales by the Holder of Registrable Securities. Subject to the
terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such
Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling
Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities
covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after
the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(c).
 
(g)           Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use
commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the
selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or
exemption from the Registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities
for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in
writing, to keep each such Registration or qualification (or exemption
therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other
acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such
jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
Statement; provided, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally
to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject
the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so
subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction.
 
(h)           If requested by the Holders, cooperate with the Holders to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing
Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the
Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent
permitted by the Purchase Agreement and applicable securities laws, of all
restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such
denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may request.
 
(i)           Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(v),
as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including
a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the
related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as
thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus
will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the
Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (ii) through (v) of
Section 3(c) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite
changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of
such Prospectus. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure
that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The
Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(i) to
suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus, without
being subject to the payment of liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(b), for
a period not to exceed 60 days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12
month period.
5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(j)            Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission.
 
(k)           Request each Holder furnish to the Company a certified statement
as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and
the person thereof that has voting and dispositive control over the Shares.
During any periods that the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder
with respect to the registration of the Registrable Securities solely because
any Holder fails to furnish such information within three Trading Days of the
Company’s request, any liquidated damages that are accruing at such time as to
such Holder only shall be tolled and any Event that may otherwise occur solely
because of such delay shall be suspended as to such Holder only, until such
information is delivered to the Company.
 
4.           Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the
performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne
by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to
the Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing
sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees
(including, without limitation, except as otherwise not permitted by the
Commission, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made
with the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading,
and (B) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws), (ii)
printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing
certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses if the
printing of prospectuses is reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of
the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement), (iii)
messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company
so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons
retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible
for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation,
all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or
accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any
securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be
responsible for any broker or similar commissions or, except to the extent
provided for in the Transaction Documents, any legal fees or other costs of the
Holders.
6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
5.           Indemnification.
 
(a)           Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding
any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the
officers, directors, agents and employees of each of them, each Person who
controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and
employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, reasonable out-of-pocket costs (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred,
arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any
form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any
preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged
omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of Prospectus or
supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made)
not misleading, except and only to the extent that (i) such untrue statements or
omissions are based upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing
to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that
such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of
distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved
in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such
Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto
(it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this
purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified
in Sections 3(c)(ii)-(v), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective
Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the
Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of
the Advice contemplated in Section 6(c). The Company shall notify the Holders
promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the
Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
 
(b)           Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not
jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers,
agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the
directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as
incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holder’s
failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act or (y) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in
any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising
out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading (i) to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained
in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company
specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or such Prospectus or
(ii) to the extent that (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely
upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by
such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information
relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of
Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by
such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (it being understood
that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus
or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (2) in
the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section
3(c)(ii)-(v), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus
after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is
outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice
contemplated in Section 6(c) or (3) the Holders do not comply with the rules and
regulations of the Commission in connection with the offer and sale of the
Registrable Securities. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder
hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds
received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise
to such indemnification obligation.
7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(c)           Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be
brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an
“Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person
from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the
Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including
the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and
the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in
connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified
Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the
extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
(which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such
failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
 
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties
unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and
expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the
defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such
Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party
and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe
that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were
to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case,
if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it
elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the
Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and
the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnified
Parties shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying
Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected
without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of
which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims
that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
 
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the
Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred
in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a
manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified
Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the
Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly
reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such reasonable fees and
expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is not
entitled to indemnification hereunder, determined based upon the relative faults
of the parties.
8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(d)           Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or
5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or
otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and
Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that
resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question,
including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission
or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to
information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or
payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject
to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or
other reasonable out-of-pocket fees or expenses incurred by such party in
connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been
indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in
this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.
 
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any
other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable
considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required
to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the
proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable
Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such
Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, except in the case of fraud by
such Holder.
 
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in
addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the
Indemnified Parties.
 
6.           Miscellaneous.
 
(a)           Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder,
of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as
the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by
law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to
specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each
Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for
any Losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this
Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for
specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that
a remedy at law would be adequate.
9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(b)           Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply
with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the other
rules and regulations of the Commission as applicable to it in connection with
sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
 
(c)           Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of
such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of
the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c), such Holder
will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the
Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the
supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is
advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable
Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any
additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The
Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the
Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as it practicable.
 
(d)           Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time during the Effectiveness
Period there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the
Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with
the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own
account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity
securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the
Securities Act) or their then equivalents or on Form S-1 or Form SB-2 relating
solely to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any
acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in
connection with the stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the
Company shall send to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if
within fifteen days after the date of such notice, any such Holder shall so
request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all
or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be
registered, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks and discretion exercisable
with respect to all holders of registration rights.
 
(e)           Other Registration Rights. Shares issuable to Sun Solunet shall be
Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sun Solunet reserves all
of its registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of
April 4, 2003, by and among the Company, Sun Solunet, Michael J. Phelan and Sara
H. Phelan (the “2003 Registration Rights Agreement”). By executing this
Agreement, in accordance with Section 1(g) of the 2003 Registration Rights
Agreement, Sun Solunet hereby consents to the grant of registration rights
pursuant to this Agreement and waives any and all rights to prior notice or
otherwise in connection with the execution of this Agreement and consummation of
the transactions described herein.
 
(f)           Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement,
including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof
may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company
and each Holder of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.
10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(g)           Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be made in accordance with
the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
 
(h)           Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the
parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. Each Holder may assign
their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted
under the Purchase Agreement.
 
(i)           Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with
the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original
thereof.
 
(j)           Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction,
validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined
with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
 
(k)           Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative
and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
 
(l)           Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of
this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions,
covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and
effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties
hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an
alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that
contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby
stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have
executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without
including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or
unenforceable.
 
(m)           Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
 
(n)           Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The
obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in
any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder.
Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any
closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be
deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint
venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders
are in any way acting in concert with respect to such obligations or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Holder shall be entitled to
protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising
out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be
joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
 
To Purchase _________________Shares of Common Stock of
 
SAN HOLDINGS, INC.
 
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) CERTIFIES that, for value
received, [______________] (the “Holder”), is entitled, upon the terms and
subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth,
at any time on or after the date of issuance of this Warrant (the “Initial
Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the five year anniversary of the Initial
Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and
purchase from San Holdings, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), up to
[_____________________] shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock, no par
value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”). The purchase price of one
share of Common Stock (the “Exercise Price”) under this Warrant shall be
[$0.30/$0.50], subject to adjustment hereunder. The Exercise Price and the
number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is exercisable shall be subject
to adjustment as provided herein. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities
Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated February 28, 2006, among
the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.
 
1.           Title to Warrant. Prior to the Termination Date and subject to
compliance with applicable laws and Section 7 of this Warrant, this Warrant and
all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or
agency of the Company by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney,
upon surrender of this Warrant together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto
properly endorsed. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
2.           Authorization of Shares. The Company covenants that all Warrant
Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other
than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such
issue).
 
3.           Exercise of Warrants.
 
(a)           Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be
made at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before
the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form,
surrender of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (or such
other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing
to the registered Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of
the Company). Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be delivered to
the Holder within five (5) Trading Days from the delivery to the Company of the
Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price as set forth above (“Warrant Share Delivery Date”). This Warrant
shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price is
received by the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued,
and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed
to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the
date the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise
Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to
Section 5 prior to the issuance of such shares, have been paid in full. If the
Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Shares or indicating the issuance of such Warrant
Shares on the stock ledger of the Company maintained by the Company or its
transfer agent pursuant to this Section 3(a) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date,
then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
 
(b)           If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company
shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing
Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder
to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new
Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
 
(c)           If at any time after one year from the date of issuance of this
Warrant there is no effective Registration Statement registering the resale of
the Warrant Shares by the Holder, this Warrant may also be exercised at such
time by notice delivered to the Company by means of a “cashless exercise” in
which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of
Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A),
where:
 
(A) = the closing price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of
such election;
 
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather
than a cashless exercise.
 
(d)           Except with respect to Sun Solunet, LLC, the Holder shall not be
entitled to exercise this Warrant into shares of Common Stock that would result
in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.9% of
the then outstanding number of shares of Common Stock on such date. For the
purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 promulgated thereunder.
 
4.           No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled
to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by
the Exercise Price.
 
5.           Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant
Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax
or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all
of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates
shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be
directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for
Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder,
this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the
Assignment Form attached hereto and an investment letter duly executed by the
Holder in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company; and the
Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to
reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
 
6.           Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books
or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant,
pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
7.           Transfer, Division and Combination.
 
(a)           Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the
conditions set forth in Sections 1 and 7(e) hereof and to the provisions of
Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are
transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company, together with a written assignment of this
Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or
its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable
upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such
payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the
name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination or denominations
specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a
new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this
Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be
exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a
new Warrant issued.
 
(b)           This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon
presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a
written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are
to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to
compliance with Section 7(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such
division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in
accordance with such notice.
3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(c)           The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense
(other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 7.
 
(d)           The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office, books for
the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.
 
(e)           If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection
with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be
registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder or
transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written
opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope
customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that
such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act and
under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or
transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and
substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an
“accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), or
(a)(8) promulgated under the Securities Act or a qualified institutional buyer
as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.
 
8.           No Rights as Shareholder until Exercise. This Warrant does not
entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the
Company prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (or by means of a cashless exercise),
the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such
Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the
later of the date of such surrender or payment.
 
9.           Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company
covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock
certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon
surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated,
the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like
tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock
certificate.
 
10.           Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day
for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be
taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday,
Sunday or legal holiday.
4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
11.           Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares, Stock
Splits, etc. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time upon the happening of any of the following. In case the Company shall (i)
pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of
Common Stock to holders of its outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii)
combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares
of Common Stock, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a
reclassification of the Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be
adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of
Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which it would have owned or
have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised in advance
thereof. Upon each such adjustment of the kind and number of Warrant Shares or
other securities of the Company which are purchasable hereunder, the Holder
shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the number of Warrant Shares or other
securities resulting from such adjustment at an Exercise Price per Warrant Share
or other security obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing by the number
of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company that are purchasable
pursuant hereto immediately after such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant
to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of
such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.
 
12.           Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or
Disposition of Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital,
reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another
corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there
is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company),
or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of its property, assets or business to
another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of
common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of
stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including
warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of
common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other Property”), are
to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company,
then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of
this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring
corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other
Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor
or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the
due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and
condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all
the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may
be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of Warrant Shares
for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 12. For purposes of
this Section 12, “common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation” shall
include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to
dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which
is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of
indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or
exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a
specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other
rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of
this Section 12 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations,
reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.
5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
13.           Issuance of Additional Stock. If the Company shall, at any time
through the two year anniversary of the date that the Registration Statement is
declared effective by the Commission, issue any rights, warrants, options or
other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock
(collectively, “Additional Stock”) without consideration or for a consideration
per share less than the Exercise Price (including by operation of purchase price
adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices
or otherwise), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to each such
issuance shall forthwith be reduced to an amount equal to such lower purchase
price for such Additional Stock (or in the case of options and similar
securities, the consideration received for the option and to be received upon
exercise of such option), or, if for no consideration, $.001; provided, however,
that none of the following shall constitute Additional Stock: (a) shares of
Common Stock; (b) rights, warrants, options or other securities convertible into
or exchangeable for Common Stock, issued or issuable to employees, consultants
or directors of the Company for the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining
their employment or services directly or pursuant to a stock option plan or
restricted stock plan approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and (c)
shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of rights,
warrants, options or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock outstanding as of the date hereof.
 
14.           Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or
number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company
shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the number of
Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and other
securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by
which such adjustment was made.
 
15.           Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:
 
(a)           the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock
for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution,
or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any
shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive
any other right, or
 
(b)           there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other
disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the
Company to, another corporation or,
 
(c)           there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the Company;
6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) at
least 10 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be
selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to
vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, liquidation or winding up, and (ii)
in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation,
sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 10
days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such
notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date
on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and
character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any
such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to exchange their Warrant Shares for securities or other property
deliverable upon such disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each
such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to Holder at the
last address of Holder appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in
accordance with Section 19(d).
 
16.           Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that the Company shall
call a shareholder meeting for purposes of increasing its authorized capital in
an amount sufficient to provide for the exercise of all outstanding Warrants of
the Company. Until such time as the Company has so increased its authorized
capital each Holder shall each be entitled to exercise the Warrants held by them
on a pro rata basis with the other Holders, weighted on the basis of the
respective Subscription Amounts paid to the Company by each Holder. If such
increase in authorized capital is not authorized by the earlier of (i) the date
that the registration statement relating to the Common Stock underlying the
Preferred Stock and the Warrants is effective, or (ii) 150 days from the date
the Company first receives funds from the escrow account established pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement (each an “Event”), then on the date on which such Event
occurs (the “Event Date”), the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in
cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 2.0% of the
aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date until cured,
provided however, if the Company is otherwise paying liquidated damages pursuant
to that certain Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the
purchasers signatory thereto, then no liquidated damages shall be due pursuant
to this Paragraph 16. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this
Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the
duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary
certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights
under this Warrant. Subject to this Paragraph 16, the Company will take all such
reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be
issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation,
or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be
listed.
 
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company
shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate
of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this
Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in
par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary
to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of
Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price,
the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or
consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies
having jurisdiction thereof.
 
17.           Registration Rights. The Holder of this Warrant and/or the Warrant
Shares and any transferee hereof and thereof shall be entitled to the benefit of
such registration rights in respect of the Warrant Shares as are set forth in
the Registration Rights Agreement.
 
18.           Redemption.
 
(a)           The Company may redeem all (but not less than all) of this Warrant
at any time, at the price of $.01 per Warrant Share (issuable under this
Warrant), upon notice referred to in Section 18(b), provided that (i) the
Warrant Shares have been registered for resale by means of the Registration
Statement as defined in the Purchase Agreement or any other registration
statement; (ii) the Registration Statement is current and effective at the time
the aforementioned notice is sent and through the redemption period; and (iii)
the closing sales price of the Common Stock has been at least 200% of the then
Exercise Price of the Warrants for 20 consecutive Trading Days ending within two
Trading Days of the notice of redemption as referred to in Section 18(b) below.
 
(b)           In the event the Company shall elect to redeem this Warrant, the
Company shall fix a date for the redemption (the “Redemption Date”) and mail a
notice of redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 days
from the date fixed for redemption to the Holder of this Warrant at such
Holder’s last address as it appears on the books of the Company. Any notice
mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been
duly given whether or not the registered Holder received such notice. The notice
of redemption shall specify (i) the redemption price, (ii) the date fixed for
redemption, (iii) the place where the Warrant is to be delivered and the
redemption price paid and (iv) that the right to exercise the Warrant shall
terminate at 5:00 P.M. New York City on the Business Day immediately preceding
the Redemption Date. No failure to mail such notice nor any defect therein or in
the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for such
redemption except as to a Holder (A) to whom notice was not mailed or (B) whose
notice was defective. An affidavit of the Secretary of the Company that notice
of redemption has been mailed shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie
evidence of the facts stated therein.
8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(c)           The Warrant may be exercised in accordance with Section 3 of this
Warrant at any time after notice of redemption shall have been given by the
Company pursuant to Section 18(b) hereof and until the Business Day immediately
preceding the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date, the Holder of
this Warrant shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of
the Warrant, the redemption price.
 
19.           Miscellaneous.
 
(a)           Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
 
(b)           Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares
acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have
restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
 
(c)           Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or
failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a
waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder's rights, powers or remedies,
notwithstanding all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the
Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this
Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall
pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts
due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or
remedies hereunder.
 
(d)           Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or
permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be
delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
 
(e)           Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of
any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant or purchase Warrant
Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall
give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock
or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the
Company or by creditors of the Company.
 
(f)           Remedies. Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all
rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to
specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that
monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by
reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to
waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law
would be adequate.
 
(g)           Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws,
this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the successors
and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to
be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant and shall be
enforceable by any such Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(h)           Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the
provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
 
(i)           Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or
invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
 
(j)           Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the
convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part
of this Warrant.
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Warrant as of the 2nd
day of March, 2006.

Form of Credit Support Termination Agreement

SUN CAPITAL PARTNERS II, LP
5200 Town Center Circle
Suite 470
Boca Raton, FL 33486

March 2, 2006

SAN Holdings, Inc.
9800 Pyramid Court
Englewood, CO 80112
Attn: John Jenkins

Mr. Jenkins:
 
Reference is made to that (i) certain letter agreement, dated as of March 31,
2003, by and between, Sun Capital Partners II, LP, a Delaware limited
partnership (the “Fund”), and SAN Holdings, Inc., a Colorado corporation
(“SANZ”), as amended on November 23, 2005 (the “Letter Agreement”), agreed and
accepted by Sun Solunet, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sun”); and
(ii) certain Loan Authorization Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2003 (as amended
to date, the “Sun Loan”), pursuant to which SANZ previously borrowed the
aggregate principal amount of $14,000,000 from Sun, as assignee of Harris N.A.,
as successor to Harris Trust and Savings Bank due to merger. Capitalized terms
used herein without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in the Letter
Agreement.

As of the date hereof, as a result of (i) the exchange of debt owed to Sun in
consideration for the issuance to Sun of other securities of SANZ and (ii) the
payment by SANZ to Sun of some of the outstanding indebtedness owed to Sun under
the Sun Loan, the aggregate principal amount owed to Sun under the Sun Loan is
equal to or less than $5,000,000.

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, SANZ was required to periodically issue to Sun
on November 16 and May 16 of each year, a Guaranty Warrant, exercisable for a
number of shares of SANZ Common Stock calculated pursuant to a formula set forth
in the Letter Agreement, for so long as there remained an aggregate principal
amount owed to Sun under the Sun Loan in an amount in excess of $3,000,000.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Letter Agreement and
the Sun Loan, SANZ, Sun and the Fund hereby agree as follows:

(i) that the obligations of each of SANZ, Sun and the Fund under the Letter
Agreement are hereby terminated, cancelled, released and discharged in their
entirety, including, without limitation, the obligation of SANZ to periodically
issue Guaranty Warrants to Sun under the Letter Agreement (it being acknowledged
and agreed that, notwithstanding this termination letter agreement, Sun shall
retain any Guaranty Warrants already issued to it and all of its rights
thereunder);

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii) as of the date hereof, each of Sun and the Fund shall have no obligation to
loan SANZ any additional money; and

(iii) with respect to the amount of outstanding indebtedness owed to Sun under
the Sun Loan as of the date hereof (which amount shall be less than or equal to
$5,000,000), such amount (or any portion thereof) cannot be reborrowed by SANZ
once repaid, but the maturity date for the Sun Loan will be extended to a date
that is three years from the date hereof.

Each of SANZ, Sun and the Fund hereby agree to take all actions and to execute
all documents as may be reasonably necessary to implement and give full force
and effect to any of the provisions of this termination letter agreement.
Furthermore, SANZ hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to
paydown the remaining outstanding indebtedness owed to Sun under the Sun Loan,
including, without limitation, by raising additional capital from sources other
than Sun.

* * * * *

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This termination letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made
and to be performed entirely within such state. This termination letter
agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same
instrument.

Very truly yours,
