REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY


 


The
Company hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Purchaser on the date hereof and as of the Closing Date;
provided that, the following representations and warranties are qualified by applicable disclosures contained in the SEC
Reports to the extent that the relevance of such disclosures is readily apparent:


3.1             
Organization and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Colorado, with the requisite corporate power and authority to own and use its properties and assets
and to carry on its business as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted. The Company is duly qualified to conduct
business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business it conducts
or the property it owns or controls makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good
standing, as the case may be, could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in (i) an
adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a material and adverse effect
on the results of operations, assets, business, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company, taken as a whole,
or (iii) an adverse impairment to the Company’s ability to perform on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction
Document (any of the events set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) next above, a “Material Adverse Effect”).
The Company is not in violation or default of any of the provisions of its Organizational Documents.

3.2             
Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate
the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and otherwise to carry out its obligations
thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions
contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company (other than the Required
Stockholder Approval), and no further action is required by the Company or its stockholders in connection therewith (except as
set forth in the parenthetical next preceding). Each Transaction Document has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed
by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles.


3.3             
No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation
by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of
the Company’s Organizational Documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that 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 (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any contract, agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument
(evidencing Company indebtedness or otherwise) to which the Company is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company
is bound or affected, or (iii) assuming the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations and warranties and compliance
by the Purchaser with its covenants as set forth in this Agreement, result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any Governmental Authority to which the Company is subject (including federal
and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected.


3.4             
Filings, Consents and Approvals. Except for the Required Stockholder Approval and the approval by the NYSE Amex
Stock Market of the Company’s Supplemental Listing Application, the Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver,
authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority or other Person
in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, other than the Company’s
obligations with respect to the filing of (i) a Current Report on Form 8-K, and (ii) a Form D in accordance with
Regulation D promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act.


3.5             
Issuance of the Securities. The Securities have been duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance

of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as

any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments,
understandings or arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock, or securities
or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock. The issue and sale of the Securities will not, immediately
or with the passage of time, obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than
the Purchaser and its permitted successors and assigns) 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 outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Company have been validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, and have been issued in compliance with all federal and
state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares were issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights
to subscribe for or purchase securities. Except for the Required Stockholder Approval, no further approval or authorization of
any stockholder, the Board or others is required for the issuance and sale of the Securities. There are no stockholders agreements,
voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party
or, to the Knowledge of the Company, between or among any of the Company’s stockholders.

Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its Board of Directors have taken
all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill
(including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s Organizational
Documents or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchaser participating in such Closing
as a result of the Purchaser and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents,

of which the Company is or has been a member (each, a “Company Group”) have timely filed all federal, state,
local, and foreign Tax Returns required to be filed by it in the manner prescribed by applicable Laws and all such Tax Returns
were true, complete and correct in all material respects. Except with respect to Taxes that are immaterial in amount, all Taxes
of the Company Group (whether or not shown or required to be shown on any Tax Return) that are due and payable have been timely
paid in full and the accruals and reserves for Taxes (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing
difference between book and tax income) reflected in the Company’s most recent balance sheet (rather than any notes thereto)
are adequate in accordance with GAAP to cover all unpaid Taxes of the Company Group. The Company Group has withheld and paid over
all material Taxes required to have been withheld and paid over, and to the knowledge of the Company, the Company Group has withheld
and paid over all other Taxes required to have been withheld and paid over, and the Company Group has complied with all material
information reporting and backup withholding requirements, including the maintenance of required records with respect thereto,
in each case in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, creditor, independent contractor or other third party. There

conducted or issue raised (and none are currently pending) by any Governmental Authority in connection with any of the Tax Returns
or Taxes of the Company Group, (ii) no waiver of any statute of limitation, with respect to any Tax Return that has not yet
been filed or otherwise with respect to Taxes, has been given by or requested from the Company Group, (iii) no deficiencies
have been asserted or assessments made as a result of any examinations of Tax Returns previously filed by or on behalf of the Company
Group. The Company is not a party to any Tax allocation, Tax sharing, or similar agreement. The Company has not been a party to
or a promoter of any “listed transaction” as defined in Section 6707A(c)(2) of the Code and Section 1.6011-4(b)(2)
of the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company has disclosed on each Tax Return filed by it all positions taken
thereon that could give rise to a substantial understatement of penalty of Taxes within the meaning of Code Section 6662 or any
similar provisions of any other Tax Law. The Company (i) has adequately provided for or accrued, on its books of account and
related records, liability for all unpaid Taxes, (ii) is in compliance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation
No. 48 (“FIN 48”), and (iii) has determined, assessed and measured the benefits of all material Tax positions
taken in any income Tax Return for any period covered by FIN 48, including all significant uncertain positions reflected in such
Tax Returns that may be subject to assessment or challenge by any Governmental Authority.

3.21             
Employee Benefit Matters.


(a)               
Each “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) and all other
profit-sharing, deferred compensation, bonus, stock option, stock purchase, paid time off, holiday pay, pension, retirement plans,
medical and other compensation or benefit arrangements maintained or contributed to or required to be contributed to by the Company
for the benefit of its employees (or former employees) and/or their beneficiaries (collectively, “Benefit Plans”)
have been provided to the Purchaser or are have been filed with the SEC Reports. Each Benefit Plan has been established, maintained
and administered in all respects in accordance with its terms and any related agreements, and with all applicable Laws.


(b)              
All contributions (including employer and employee salary reduction contributions, premiums,
fees and administrative expenses required to have been made under the provisions of any agreements or other governing documents
or applicable law) with respect to all Benefit Plans maintained by the Company or any Affiliate, for all periods prior to the Closing
Date, either have been made or have been accrued before the applicable due date. No contribution, premium payment or other payment
has been made in support of any Benefit Plan that is in excess of the allowable deduction for federal income tax purposes for the
year with respect to which the contribution was made. The Company’s books properly reflect all amounts required to be accrued
as liabilities under each Benefit Plan.


(c)               
No “prohibited transactions” (as defined in Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code) or
breaches of fiduciary duty of the Company, or director or officer of the Company, have occurred with respect to any of the Benefit
Plans that would reasonably be expected to result in a liability to the Purchaser.


(d)              
There are no Actions (other than routine claims for benefits), either currently in progress,
or, on the basis of facts or circumstances recognized by the Company, expected to be instituted in the future, against (i) any
Benefit Plan, or (ii) any “fiduciary” of such plan (within the meaning of Section 3(21)(A) of ERISA) brought on behalf
of any participant, beneficiary or fiduciary thereunder, or by any Governmental Authority.


(e)               
Each Benefit Plan, which has ever been made maintained by the Company or any of its Affiliates,
including all prototype plans established and maintained by a prototype sponsor, and which has been intended to qualify under Section
401(a) of the Code is so qualified and all trusts established in connection with such Benefit Plans which are intended to be tax
exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code are so tax exempt. Each such Benefit Plan has, in fact, remained qualified under the applicable
section of the Code through the date of this Agreement, and will remain so qualified through the Closing Date (or, if earlier,
the date that all of such Benefit Plan’s assets were distributed). Each such Benefit Plan has been timely amended to meet
all requirements of the applicable remedial amendment period and IRS qualification requirements as necessary and appropriate to
bring its provisions into compliance with current law. The Company and each of its Affiliates have not taken any action, or failed
to take any action, that could reasonably be expected to cause any such Benefit Plan to lose its qualification or for any trust
established in connection with such Benefit Plan to lose its exemption.


(f)               
Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates currently maintains, or has at any time prior
to the Closing Date maintained, or been required to contribute to or make any payments in respect of (i) any “defined benefit
plan” (as such term is defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA) that was ever subject to Title IV of ERISA, (ii) any “multiemployer
plan” (as such term is defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA), (iii) any plan that is subject to the minimum funding standards
of Code Sections 412 or 430 or ERISA Section 302, or (iv) any multiple employer plan subject to Sections 4063 or 4064 of ERISA.


 


	 	20	Securities Purchase Agreement









 










     

     

    
 


(g)

or any former Benefit Plan for which the Company or any of its Affiliates could have any liability, complete and correct copies
of the following documents (if applicable to such Benefit Plan) have been delivered (or made available) to the Purchaser: (i) substantially
all documents embodying or governing such Benefit Plan, as they may have been amended to the date of this Agreement; (ii) the three
(3) most recently filed IRS Forms 5500, with all applicable schedules attached thereto; (iii) the three (3) most recent actuarial
valuation reports completed with respect to such Benefit Plan; (iv) the current summary plan description for such Benefit Plan
(or other descriptions of such Benefit Plan provided to employees) and all modifications thereto; (vi) any insurance policy (including
any fiduciary liability insurance policy) related to such Benefit Plan; (vii) a written summary of each unwritten Benefit Plan;
(viii) all correspondence with the IRS, the Department of Labor and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation concerning any controversy
relating to such Benefit Plan; and (ix) all contracts with vendors and service providers for such Benefit Plan.


(h)              
Except for the payments due pursuant to the Amendment to Geimer Employment Agreement, neither
the Company nor any Affiliate is a party to any agreement, contract or arrangement which requires it to make any bonus, severance
or other payment, or requires it to accelerate the vesting or timing of payment of any compensation or benefit payment to any of
its officers or employees by reason of a change in control of the Company, including the change in control effected by the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. So long as the payments provided for on Exhibit A-1 are deemed to be allocated
for the items set forth on that Exhibit (or as otherwise determined by Thomas V. Geimer), no amount paid or payable (whether in
cash, in property, or in the form of benefits) by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (either solely
as a result thereof or as a result of such transactions in conjunction with any other event) will be an “excess parachute
payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, or would constitute an “excess parachute payment” if
such amounts were subject to the provisions of Section 280G of the Code. The Company has no obligation to make a “gross-up”
or similar payment in respect of any taxes that may become payable under Section 4999 of the Code.


(i)                
There is no violation of ERISA or the Code with respect to the filing of applicable reports,
documents or notices regarding any Benefit Plan with the Department of Labor, IRS or Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation or the
furnishing of such reports, documents or notices to the participants or beneficiaries of the Benefit Plans. In all respects, the
Company and its Affiliates have complied with the reporting and taxation requirements for FICA taxes with respect to any deferred
compensation arrangements under Section 3121(v) of the Code.


(j)                
The Company and its Affiliates have complied with all of the notice and continuation coverage
requirements of Code Section 4980B and Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and regulations thereunder (and any similar state
law) (“COBRA”).


(k)              
The Company and its Affiliates have, subject to requisite notice periods or other requirements
contained in such Benefit Plans, reserved the right and power to terminate, suspend, discontinue and amend all Benefit Plans, including
all welfare plans that provide benefits to any retiree or other former employee, and such right and power have been appropriately
and satisfactorily communicated to all employees and participants.


(l)                
Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates has any formal plan or commitment, whether or
not legally binding, to create any additional Plan or modify or change any existing Benefit Plan in a manner that would impose
any liability on Buyer or any of its Affiliates after the Closing Date, nor has any intention to do so been communicated to any
current or former employees of the Company or any Affiliate thereof or their dependents, survivors or beneficiaries.

Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule

agent (with notice to the Company) of a certificate containing a restrictive legend and representing such Shares, endorsed or
with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the re-issuance and, if applicable,
the transfer, together with any other deliveries from the Purchaser as may be required above in this Section 5.1(c), as
directed by the Purchaser, either: (A) provided that the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast
Automated Securities Transfer Program (the “FAST Program”) (or any successor program thereto), cause its transfer
agent to credit the aggregate number of unrestricted Shares to which the Purchaser shall be entitled to the Purchaser’s
or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system (or any
successor program thereto), or (B) if the Company’s transfer agent is not participating in the FAST Program, cause
its transfer agent to issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the Purchaser a certificate representing such Shares
that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of the Purchaser or its designee.


 (d)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 5.1.

Section 5.10(a), prior to the receipt of the Required Stockholder Approval, the Board, directly or indirectly through any
representative, may, subject to Section 5.10(c) (i) participate in negotiations or discussions with any third party that
has made (and not withdrawn) a bona fide, unsolicited Takeover Proposal in writing that the Board believes in good faith, after
consultation with outside legal counsel satisfactory to the Purchaser, constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in
a Superior Proposal, (ii) thereafter furnish to such third party non-public information relating to the Company pursuant to an
executed confidentiality agreement (a copy of which confidentiality agreement shall be promptly (in all events within twenty-four
(24) hours) provided for informational purposes only to the Purchaser), (iii) following receipt of and on account of a Superior
Proposal, make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, and/or (iv) take any action that any court of competent jurisdiction orders
the Company to take (which order remains unstayed), but in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), only
if the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel satisfactory to the Purchaser, that the failure
to take such action would reasonably be expected to cause the Board to be in breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.
Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board from disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by
Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to a Takeover Proposal, if the Company determines,
after consultation with outside legal counsel satisfactory to the Purchaser, that failure to disclose such position would constitute
a violation of applicable Law.


(c)The
Board shall not take any of the actions referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 5.10(b) unless the Company shall
have delivered to the Purchaser a prior written notice advising the Purchaser that it intends to take such action. The Company
shall notify the Purchaser promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) after it obtains knowledge of the receipt
by the Company (or any of its representatives) of any Takeover Proposal, any inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead
to a Takeover Proposal, any request for non-public information relating to the Company or for access to the business, properties,
assets, books or records of the Company by any third party. In such notice, the Company shall identify the third party making,
and details of the material terms and conditions of, any such Takeover Proposal, indication or request. The Company shall keep
the Purchaser fully informed, on a current basis, of the status and material terms of any such Takeover Proposal, indication or

shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a list of any non-public information concerning the Company’s business, present
or future performance, financial condition or results of operations, provided to any third party, and, to the extent such information
has not been previously provided to the Purchaser, copies of such information.

as set forth in this Section 5.10(d), the Board shall not make any Company Adverse Recommendation Change or enter into a
Company Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the receipt of the Required Stockholder Approval,
the Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement, if: (i) the Company promptly
notifies the Purchaser, in writing, at least five (5) Business Days (the “Notice
Period”) before making a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or entering into a Company Acquisition Agreement,
of its intention to take such action with respect to a Superior Proposal, which notice shall state expressly that the Company has
received a Takeover Proposal that the Board intends to declare a Superior Proposal and that the Board intends to make a Company
Adverse Recommendation Change and/or the Company intends to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement; (ii) the Company attaches
to such notice the most current version of the proposed agreement (which version shall be updated on a prompt basis) and the identity
of the third party making such Superior Proposal; (iii) the Company shall, and shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts
to cause its representatives to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with the Purchaser in good faith to make such adjustments
in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Takeover Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, if the Purchaser,
in its discretion, proposes to make such adjustments (it being agreed that in the event that, after commencement of the Notice
Period, there is any material revision to the terms of a Superior Proposal, including, any revision in price, the Notice Period
shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least three (3) Business Days remains in the Notice Period subsequent to the
time the Company notifies the Purchaser of any such material revision (it being understood that there may be multiple extensions));
and (iv) the Board determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel satisfactory to the Purchaser, that such
Takeover Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal after taking into account any adjustments made by the Purchaser during
the Notice Period in the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

actions necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of the holders of Common Stock required by applicable Law to obtain

any stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent or representative of such party) to any other party hereto, except (i) with
respect to this Section 6.5, Section 6.6 and ARTICLE VII (and any related definitions contained in any such
Sections or Article), which shall remain in full force and effect and (ii) with respect to any liabilities or damages incurred

of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement.


6.6Fees
and Expenses Following Termination.


(a)If
this Agreement is terminated by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.3(a), then the Company shall pay to the Purchaser (by
wire transfer of immediately available funds), within two (2) Business Days after such termination, a fee in an amount equal to
the Termination Fee.


(b)If
this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 6.4(a), then the Company shall pay to the Purchaser (by
wire transfer of immediately available funds), at or prior to such termination, the Termination Fee.


(c)If
this Agreement is terminated (i) by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.3(b), provided that the Required Stockholder
Approval shall not have been obtained at the Company Stockholders Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) or
(ii) by the Company or the Purchaser pursuant to (x) Section 6.2(a) hereof and provided that the Required Stockholder
Approval shall not have been obtained at the Company Stockholders Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) or
(y) Section 6.2(c) hereof and, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) immediately above, (A) prior to such termination (in
the case of termination pursuant to Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.3(b)) or the Company Stockholders Meeting (in the
case of termination pursuant to Section 6.2(c)), a Takeover Proposal shall (1) in the case of a termination pursuant to
Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(c), have been publicly disclosed and not withdrawn or (2) in the case of a termination
pursuant to Section 6.3(b), have been publicly disclosed or otherwise made or communicated to the Company or the Board,
and not withdrawn, and (B) within 6 (six) months following the date of such termination of this Agreement the Company shall have
entered into a definitive agreement with respect to any Takeover Proposal, or any Takeover Proposal shall have been consummated
(in each case whether or not such Takeover Proposal is the same as the original Takeover Proposal made, communicated or publicly
disclosed), then in any such event the Company shall pay to the Purchaser (by wire transfer of immediately available funds), immediately
prior to and as a condition to consummating such transaction, the Termination Fee. If a Person (other than the Purchaser) makes
a Takeover Proposal that has been publicly disclosed and subsequently withdrawn prior to such termination or the Company Stockholders
Meeting, as applicable, and, within 6 (six) months following the date of the termination of this Agreement, such Person or any
of its controlled Affiliates makes a Takeover Proposal that is publicly disclosed, such initial Takeover Proposal shall be deemed
to have been “not withdrawn” for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of this paragraph (c).

(d)Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.6, until May 1, 2012, the Company shall not be responsible for paying
any Termination Fee with respect to two (2) companies, which shall be identified by the Company in a sealed envelope delivered
to the Escrow Agent. Such envelope shall be held pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and released to the Purchaser on
the earlier of (i) May 1, 2012 or (ii) the Company’s notice to the Purchaser of a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in
accordance with Section 5.11 of this Agreement. In the event that the Board implements a Company Adverse Recommendation
Change in respect of an unsolicited Takeover Proposal submitted by either of such companies, which Takeover Proposal results in
a Company Acquisition Agreement or the termination of this Agreement, in lieu of the Termination Fee, the Company shall reimburse
the Purchaser for up to $80,000 of its documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred
in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.


(e)The
Company acknowledges and hereby agrees that the provisions of this Section 6.6 are an integral part of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without such provisions, the Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement. If
the Company shall fail to pay in a timely manner the amounts due pursuant to this Section 6.6, and, in order to obtain such
payment, the Purchaser makes a claim against the Company that results in a judgment against the Company, the Company shall pay
to the Purchaser the reasonable costs and expenses of the Purchaser (including its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)
incurred or accrued in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amounts set forth in this Section 6.6 at
the prime lending rate prevailing during such period as published in The Wall Street Journal. Any interest payable hereunder
shall be calculated on a daily basis from the date such amounts were required to be paid until (but excluding) the date of actual
payment, and on the basis of a 360-day year. The parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the Company be obligated
to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

other Person.

by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to the principles of

exclusively, in the state and federal courts sitting in Maricopa County, Arizona. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits
to the jurisdiction of the Maricopa County, Arizona courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith
or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction
Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject
to the jurisdiction of any such Maricopa County, Arizona court, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient
forum. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and
consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight
delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees

two (2) years; provided that the provisions of Section 5.4


shall survive with respect to Proceedings brought against an indemnified party by a third party.


7.10Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same
agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by the Company and the Purchaser, and such counterparts
have been delivered to the signing Purchaser (in the case of the Company’s signature) or the Company (in the case of the
Purchaser’s signature), it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature
is delivered by facsimile or electronic 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 or electronic signature page
were an original thereof.


7.11Severability.
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. 


7.12Remedies.
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Purchaser
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.


7.13Rescission
and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of)
the Transaction Documents, whenever the Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and
the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Purchaser may rescind
or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election
in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

2.                 
Registration.


(a)               
Filing of Registration Statement. On or prior to the Filing Date, the Company shall
prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities not already covered
by an existing and effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The
Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register the Registrable Securities
on Form S-3 for resale, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith) and shall
contain (except if otherwise agreed by the Holders) the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto as Appendix A.
The Company shall cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible but, in
any event, not later than the Effectiveness Date, and shall use its best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously
effective under the Securities Act until the Termination Date. The Company shall not be obligated to enter into any underwriting
agreement for the sale of any of the Registrable Securities.


(b)              
Cutback Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2,
if (i) after the Effective Date, the Registration Statement ceases to be effective and available to the Holders as to all
of the Registrable Securities (whether upon the delivery of a notice pursuant to Section 6(d)or otherwise)
at any time prior to the Termination Date without becoming available to the Holders as to all of the Registrable Securities within
20 Trading Days pursuant to the delivery of an Advice, or (ii) at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement,
such Registration Statement is not available to the Holders as to all of the Registrable Securities; in either case, caused by
the assertion by the Commission that the number of shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement constitutes
an offering by or on behalf of the Company not at a fixed price, the Company shall use its best efforts to register the maximum
number of shares permissible by the Commission to retain the status of the offering as a secondary offering under Rule 415. In
reducing the number of shares to be registered under the Registration Statement, the Company shall omit Registrable Securities
(such omitted Registrable Securities, the “Rule 415 Cutback Securities”) pro rata per Holder based on
the number of Shares held by the respective Holders. Except as provided in the sentence next preceding, the Company shall not
be liable to any Holder for any damages in respect of its failure to register Rule 415 Cutback Securities for resale under the
Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws.


(c)               
Registration Statement Questionnaire. In connection with a registration request made
by a Holder pursuant to Section 2(a)and from time to time thereafter, the Company may require a selling Holder to furnish
to the Company a Registration Statement Questionnaire in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company based on information
required by the Commission. Each Holder shall furnish the information required in a Registration Statement Questionnaire within
five Trading Days of the Company’s request.


 (d)              
Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time prior to the Termination Date an effective
Registration Statement is not available for the resale of all Registrable Securities, and the Company determines to prepare and
file with the Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to an offering for its own account or the
account of others 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 relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity
or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall
send to each Holder written notice of such determination and, if within 15 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 the Registrable Securities
such Holder requests to be registered, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights.

3.                 
Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations
hereunder, the Company shall:


(a)               
Holder Review. Not less than two Trading Days prior to the filing of the Registration
Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (other than a supplement which attaches a previously
filed SEC Report), the Company shall furnish to the Holders and the Special Counsel (if any has been designated) copies of all
such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such Holders and such Special Counsel. The
Company shall not file the Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities or the Special Counsel shall reasonably object in good faith.


(b)              
Filing; Compliance. (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments,
including post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary
to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable 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 practicable,
and in any event within 15 days, to any comments received from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any
amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably practicable provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence
from and to the Commission relating to the Registration Statement (except, with respect to any Holder who does not waive this parenthetical,
to the extent such correspondence would disclose material non-public information to a Holder); and (iv) 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. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not be in breach of its obligations under this Section in the event the delay or inability in
filing with the Commission is due to the failure of any Holder of Registrable Securities whose Registrable Securities are to be
included in a filing to respond or provide information that is requested in a reasonable and customary fashion.


(c)               
Notices. Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold and the Special Counsel
as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of clause (i)(A) next below, not less than three Trading Days prior to such
filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than two Trading Days following the day (i)(A) when
a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement (other than a supplement which attaches a previously filed SEC Report) 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 such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration
Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders,
except, with respect to any Holder who does not waive this parenthetical, to the extent such correspondence would disclose material
non-public information); 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 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 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)              
Stop Orders. Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued,
obtain the withdrawal as promptly as reasonably practicable 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.


(e)               
Copy of Registration Statement. Furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one
conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including
those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission.


(f)               
Copies of Prospectus. 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. 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 1(c)to discontinue
disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.


(g)               
Blue Sky Laws. Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its commercially
reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification
(or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or
Blue Sky laws of all 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
necessary or advisable 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 or 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)              
Share Certificates. 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, 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 in writing
a reasonable period of time prior to any sale of Registrable Securities.


(i)                
Updates. Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 1(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.


 


5


 


 



     

     

    



(j)

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 (i) all registration

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
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 under this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar
commissions, or, except to the extent provided for in the preceding sentence, any legal fees or other costs of the Holders.


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, employees, and investment advisors
of each Holder, each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act) any Holder, 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, 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 to the extent,
but only 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, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any
amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that each Holder has approved Appendix A for this purpose) or (2)
in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 1(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 by Section 6(d). 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.


6


 


 






     

     

    
 


 


(b)              
Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, agents and employees, each Person who controls (within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, and the officers, directors, agents and employees
of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred,
arising solely 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 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 arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission
of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent, but
only 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 each Holder has approved Appendix A
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 1(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 by Section 6(d); provided, however,
that in no event shall the liability of any 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.


(c)               
Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.


(i)                
Notice. 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 fees and expenses incurred in connection with the 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 proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.


(ii)              
Separate Counsel. 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 have been
advised by counsel that a 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 shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).


7


 






     

     

    
 


(iii)            
Settlement. 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. 


(iv)            
Fees and Expenses. 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 5) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within
ten (10) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that
an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided that the Indemnifying Party may require such
Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that
such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).


(k)              
Contribution.


(i)                
Relative Fault. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or Section 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 required to be stated or necessary to make the statements not misleading, 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 Section 5(c), any reasonable
attorneys’ or other reasonable 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 5were
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 1(k)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.


(ii)              
Limitations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1(k),
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.

(iii)            
Non-Exclusive. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 1(k)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 any Holder of any of its respective
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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders shall have no right to take any action to restrain, enjoin or otherwise delay
any registration statement filed by or proposed to be filed by the Company as a result of any controversy that may arise with respect
to the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement.


(b)              
No Piggyback on Registrations. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with,
the Holders that (i) neither the Company nor any of its security holders may include securities of the Company in the Registration
Statement, other than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the date hereof enter into any agreement providing
any such right to any of its security holders without the written consent of the Necessary Holders, and (ii) except as disclosed
in or attached to the Company’s filings with the Commisison, the Company has not previously entered into any agreement granting
any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person which have not been fully satisfied.


(c)               
Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to
the Registration Statement.


(d)              
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 1(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 may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions
of this Section 6(d).


(e)               
Regulation M. Each Holder agrees not to take any action with respect to any distribution
deemed to be made pursuant to any Registration Statement which would constitute a violation of Regulation M under the Exchange
Act or any other applicable rule, regulation or law.


(f)               
Amendments and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except
in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and Necessary Holders (provided, however, that any
such amendment that adversely affects any Holder or class of Holders in a manner that does not apply uniformly to all Holders,
Shares, or Registrable Securities, as applicable, shall require the written consent of such adversely affected Holders or class)
or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought; provided, however, that a waiver
or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of certain Holders
or Registrable Securities and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders or Registrable Securities
must be given by all Holders or all Holders of such Registrable Securities, as the case may be, to which such waiver or consent
relates; and, provided, further, that the provisions of the proviso next preceding may be amended, modified, or supplemented only
with the consent of all Holders. 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, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner
impair the exercise of any such right.

APPENDIX A


Plan
of Distribution


The selling stockholder
may, from time to time, sell any or all of its shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which
the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholder may
use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:


		·	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers;



		·	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the
shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;



		·	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer
for its account;



		·	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;



		·	privately negotiated transactions;



		·	short sales;



		·	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions,
whether through an options exchange or otherwise;



		·	broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified
number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;



		·	a combination of any such methods of sale; and



		·	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.



The selling stockholder
may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.


The selling stockholder
may also engage in short sales against the box, puts and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities
and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades.


Broker-dealers engaged
by the selling stockholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the selling stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser)
in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholder does not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary
in the types of transactions involved. Any profits on the resale of shares of common stock by a broker-dealer acting as principal
might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar
selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder
may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities
are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.


 






     

     

    
 


In connection with
the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers
or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions
they assume. The selling stockholder may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their
short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholder
may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or
more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by
this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented
or amended to reflect such transaction).


The selling stockholder
may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they
default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common
stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other
applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholder to include the pledgee, transferee
or other successors in interest as selling stockholder under this prospectus.


The selling stockholder
also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors
in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of common stock from
time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable
provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholder to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors
in interest as selling stockholder under this prospectus.


The selling stockholder
and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers
or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions
or discounts under the Securities Act.


We are required
to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of common stock. We have agreed to indemnify the selling
stockholder against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.


The selling stockholder
has advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers
regarding the sale of their shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with
a proposed sale of shares of common stock by the selling stockholder. If we are notified by the selling stockholder that any material
arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock, if required, we will file a supplement
to this prospectus. If the selling stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the shares of common stock, it will be subject
to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.


The anti-manipulation
rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling
stockholder.

ACCELR8 TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION


WARRANT


	Warrant No. [__]	Date
    of Issuance:  [__________, 2012]1


 


Accelr8 Technology
Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, Abeja Ventures,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or its registered assign (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase
from the Company 7,000,000 shares (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 11)
of common stock, no par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) (each such share, a “Warrant
Share” and all such shares, the “Warrant Shares”), at an exercise price determined pursuant to Section 3
(the “Exercise Price”), at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof through and including
the date that is five (5) years following the date of issuance set forth above (the “Expiration Date”), and subject
to the following terms and conditions:


1.                 
Purchase Agreement. This Warrant is one of two Warrants
(collectively, the “Warrants”) issued by the Company in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement,
entered into on April 20, 2012 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and Holder, and is subject
to, and the Company and the Holder shall be bound by, all the applicable terms, conditions and provisions of the Purchase Agreement.


2.                 
Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere
in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the
Purchase Agreement.


3.                 
Exercise Price. This Warrant may be exercised for
a price per Warrant Share equal to $[_____]2, subject to adjustment from time to time
pursuant to Section 11.


4.                 
Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register
this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the
name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner
hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice
to the contrary.


___________________________


1 Note to Draft: Warrant to
be issued on Closing Date.


2 Note to Draft: Exercise Price
will be $1.03 for Warrant #1 and $2.00 for Warrant #2 pursuant to Purchase Agreement.


 






     

     

    
 


5.                 
Registration of Transfers. Subject to the Holder’s
appropriate compliance with the restrictive legend on this Warrant, the Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this
Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment substantially in the form attached
hereto as Attachment B duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration
or transfer, a new Warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new Warrant, a “New
Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant
evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance
of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations
of a holder of a Warrant.


6.                 
Exercise and Duration of Warrants. This Warrant shall
be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration
Date. At 6:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be
and become void and of no value. The Company may not call or redeem all or any portion of this Warrant without the prior written
consent of the Holder.


7.                 
Delivery of Warrant Shares.


(a)               
To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender
this Warrant unless the aggregate number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant is being exercised. Upon delivery of an
Exercise Notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Attachment A (an “Exercise Notice”)
to the Company at its address for notice determined as set forth herein, and upon payment of the applicable Exercise Price multiplied
by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later
than five (5) trading days after the Date of Exercise (as defined below)) issue and deliver, or cause its transfer agent to issue
and deliver, to the Holder a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise registered in the name of the Holder
or its designee. A “Date of Exercise” means the date on which the Holder shall have delivered to the Company:
(i) an Exercise Notice, appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price (by certified or official
bank check, intra-bank account transfer or wire transfer) for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Holder to be purchased.


(b)              
If by the fifth trading day after a Date of Exercise the Company fails to deliver
the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 7(a),
the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.


(c)               
The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with
the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce
the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or
any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person,
and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection
with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to
it hereunder, at law or in equity, including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s
failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to
the terms hereof.


 


-2-


 






     

     

    
 


8.                 
Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery
of certificated or uncertificated shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder
for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee, or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance
of such shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates
for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability
that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.


9.                 
Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated,
lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation
hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a new Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond),
if requested. Applicants for a new warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and
procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a new warrant is requested as a result
of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver this mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to
the Company’s obligation to issue the new warrant.


10.             
Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants
that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved
Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the
number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from Liens or any
other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 11).
The Company covenants and warrants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of
the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and non-assessable.


11.             
Certain Adjustments. The number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 11.


(a)               
Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any
time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares
of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance
of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of any Warrants), (ii) subdivides
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split)
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of Common
Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company; then in each such case (A) the Exercise Price will be adjusted by multiplying
the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such event (excluding treasury shares, if any), and the denominator of which equals the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and (B) the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be concurrently
adjusted by multiplying such number by the reciprocal of such fraction. Such adjustments will take effect (i) if a record date
shall have been fixed for determining the stockholders or security holders, as applicable, of the Company entitled to receive such
dividend, distribution or issuance by reclassification, as the case may be, immediately after such record date, (ii) otherwise,
immediately after the effective date of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination, or issuance by reclassification,
as the case may be.


 


-3-


 


 



     

     

    



(b)               Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in
one or a series of related transactions, (A) effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
Person, (B) effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or
substantially all of its assets, (C) effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common
Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for
other securities, cash or property (except for issuances by reclassification contemplated by Section 11(a) (iv)),
or (D) consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including a
reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such
other Person or group acquires more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any
shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or group making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other
Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination), or (ii) any, direct
or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person or group of Persons) is
completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other
securities, cash or property (each transaction or series of transactions referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, a
“Fundamental Transaction”); then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the
right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence
of such Fundamental Transaction, (1) the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or,
if it is the surviving corporation, of the Company, and (2) any additional consideration (the “Alternate
Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any
such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such
Alternate Consideration based on the amount and components of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of
Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Board shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate
Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration
(substituting the most appropriate market-based measure for the Trading Market in determining the daily VWAP from time to
time for each component of the Alternate Consideration or, if no market-based measure is reasonably available for any such
component, fixing the daily VWAP of such component at the value determined by such apportionment, but subject to further
adjustment as provided in this Section 11).
If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental
Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise
of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any
successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant of like
tenor to this Warrant but adjusted to be consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to
exercise such warrant for the appropriate number of shares of capital stock and Alternate Consideration, if any, in exchange
for this Warrant. The Company shall ensure that the terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is
effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 11(b)
and ensuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction
or series of related transactions analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
“VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies:
(A) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a trading market, the daily volume weighted average price of the
Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the principal trading market on which the Common Stock is then
listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a trading day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New
York City time)), (B) if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by
Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent
bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported during trading hours, or (C) in all other cases, the fair market
value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the
Company’s Board of Directors and reasonably acceptable to the Holder, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by
the Company.

(c)               
Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder may pay the
Exercise Price by certified or official bank check, by intra-bank account transfer or by wire transfer of same-day funds.


12.             
No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common
Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares which would otherwise be
issuable, the Company shall pay the Holder an amount of cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the closing price
of one share of Common Stock as reported on the principal trading market for the Common Stock on the Date of Exercise.
