        REPRESENTATIVE'S
OPTION AGREEMENT FOR UNITS dated as of            , 2004 among HYPERSPACE COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Colorado corporation (the "Company") and CAPITAL GROWTH
FINANCIAL, LLC, the representative of the underwriters, a Florida limited liability company (hereinafter referred to variously as the "Holder", "Underwriter" or "Representative"). 


W I T N E S S E T H:  


        WHEREAS, the Representative has agreed pursuant to the underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") dated as of the date hereof between the
Representative, on behalf of the several underwriters, and the Company, to underwrite, on a firm commitment basis, the Company's proposed public offering ("Public Offering") of up to 2,300,000 units
(inclusive of 300,000 over allotment units) ("Units") at a public offering price of $5.50 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one (1) share of the Company's common stock no par value per share
("Common Stock") and two (2) Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants ("Warrants"); and 


        WHEREAS,
the Company proposes to issue to the Representative options ("Representative Unit Purchase Option") to purchase up to an aggregate of 160,000 Units [8.0% of the
Units sold in the Offering] (the "Representative Units") of the Company at a purchase price of $.001 per Unit Purchase Option, (exercisable at 165% of the public offering price of the
Units); and 


        WHEREAS,
the Representative Units shall be the same as the units sold in the Public Offering ("Public Units") and each Representative Unit shall entitle the Representative to purchase
(i) one share of Common Stock ("Unit Share") and (ii) two Warrants ("Unit Warrants"); and 


        WHEREAS,
the Representative's Unit Purchase Option to be issued pursuant to this Agreement will be issued on the Closing Date (as such term is defined in the Underwriting Agreement) by
the Company to the Representative in consideration for, and as part of the compensation in connection with the Public Offering; 


        NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the payment by the Representative to the Company of an aggregate of One Hundred Sixty Dollars ($160.00) ($0.001 per Unit), the
agreements herein set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 


        1.    Grant.    The Holder is hereby granted the right to purchase, at any time
from                        2005
[one year from the Effective Date] until 5:00 P.M., Mountain Standard Time, on                        , 2009, up to an
aggregate of                        Representative Units at an
initial exercise price (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8 hereof) of 165% of the Public Offering Price (the "Exercise Price"). 


        2.    Representative's Unit Purchase Option Certificates.    The Representative's option certificates (the
"Representative's Unit Purchase Option Certificates") delivered and to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be in the form set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part
hereof, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions, and other variations as required or permitted by this Agreement. 



        3.    Exercise of Representative's Unit Purchase Options.    The Representative's Unit Purchase Options initially are
exercisable at an aggregate initial exercise price (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8 hereof) per Unit, as set forth in  Section 6
hereof payable by (i) certified or official bank check in New York Clearing House funds, subject to adjustment as provided in  Section 8 hereof; or (ii) through a cashless exercise.
"Cashless Exercise" means an exercise of Unit Purchase Options in which, in lieu of
payment of the Exercise Price, the Holder elects to receive a lesser number of Securities such that the value of the Securities that such Holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive but has
agreed not to receive, as determined by the closing price of such Securities on the date of exercise or, if such date is not a trading day, on the next prior trading day, is equal to the Exercise
Price with respect to such exercise. A Holder may only elect a Cashless Exercise if Securities issuable by the Company on such exercise are publicly traded securities. Upon surrender at the Company's
principal offices in Colorado (presently located at 8480 East Orchard Road, Suite 6600, Greenwood 







 

Village,
Colorado 80111), of an Representative's Unit Purchase Option with the annexed Form of Election to Purchase duly executed, together with payment of the Purchase Price (as hereinafter
defined) for the Representative Units purchased, the registered holder of an Representative's Unit Purchase Option ("Holder" or "Holders") shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates
for the Representative Units so purchased. The Representative Units shall be comprised of the same share of Common Stock and Warrants as being sold to the public in the Public Offering. The purchase
rights represented by each Representative's Unit Purchase Option are exercisable at the option of the Holder thereof, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares of Common Stock underlying
the Representative Units). In the case of the purchase of less than all the Representative Units purchasable under any Representative's Unit Purchase Option, the Company shall cancel the
Representative's Unit Purchase Option upon the surrender thereof and shall execute and deliver a new Representative's Unit Purchase Option of like tenor for the balance of the Representative Units
purchasable thereunder. 


        4.    Issuance of Certificates.    Upon the exercise of the Representative's Unit Purchase Option, the issuance of
certificates for the Unit Warrants and Unit Shares or other securities, properties or rights underlying such Representative's Unit Purchase Option, shall be made forthwith (and in any event within
five (5) business days thereafter) without charge to the Holder thereof including, without limitation, any tax which may be payable in respect of the issuance thereof, and such
certificates shall (subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 7 hereof) be issued in the name of, or in such names as may be directed by, the
Holder thereof; 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 issuance and delivery of any such certificates
in a name other than that of the Representative and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall
have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. 



        The
Representative's Unit Purchase Option and the certificates representing the Unit Warrants and Unit Shares issuable upon exercise of the Representative's Unit Purchase Option shall be
executed on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors or President or Vice President of the Company under its corporate seal
reproduced thereon, attested to by the manual or facsimile signature of the then present Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company. The Representative's Unit Purchase Option shall be dated the
date of the execution by the Company upon initial issuance, division, exchange, substitution or transfer. The certificates representing the Unit Warrants and Unit Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Representative's Unit Purchase Options shall be identical in form and substance to those issued and sold to the public in connection with the Public Offering, including the terms of redemption for the
Warrants. 


        5.    Restriction On Transfer of Representative's Unit Purchase Option.    The Holder of a Representative's Unit
Purchase Option, by its acceptance thereof, covenants and agrees that the Representative's Unit Purchase Option is being acquired as an investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof; and
that the Representative's Unit Purchase Option may not be sold, transferred, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, in whole or in part, for a period of one year from the effective date of
the offering except to officers or partners of the Representative and members of the selling group in the Public Offering, and/or their officers or partners, as required in compliance with NASD
Rule 2710(g). 


        6.    Exercise Price.    



        6.1    Initial and Adjusted Exercise Price.    Except as otherwise provided in  Section 8 hereof, the initial exercise price of
each Representative's Unit Purchase Option shall be $9.075 [165% of Unit Offering
Price] per Unit. The exercise price shall be adjusted from time to time in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof. 



2







 

        6.2    Exercise Price.    The term "Exercise Price" herein shall mean the initial exercise prices or the adjusted
exercise price, depending upon the context of the Representative's Unit Purchase Option. 




        7.    Registration Rights.    



        7.1    Demand Registration Under the Securities Act of 1933.    At any time commencing
after                        , 2005
[one (1) year from the Effective Date] through and including                        , 2009 (five (5) years from the
Effective Date), the Holders of the Representative's
Unit Purchase Option, Unit Warrants and Unit Shares, representing a "Majority" of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Representative Units (assuming the exercise of all of the
Representative's Unit Purchase
Option) shall have the right (which right is in addition to the registration rights under Section 7.2 hereof), exercisable by written notice to
the Company, to have the Company prepare and file with the Commission, on one occasion, a registration statement and such other documents, including a prospectus, as may be necessary in the opinion of
both counsel for the Company and counsel for the Representative and Holders, in order to comply with the provisions of the Act, so as to permit a public offering and sale of their respective Unit
Warrants and Unit Shares during a period equal to the longer of: (i) nine (9) months or (ii) the unexpired term of the Unit Warrants by such Holders and any other Holders of the
Representative's Unit Purchase Option, Representative Units and the Units who shall notify the Company within ten (10) days after receiving notice from the Company of such request. 


        7.2    Piggyback Registration.    If, at any time commencing
after                        , 2004, through and including
                        , 2009 (five (5) years from the Effective Date), the Company proposes to register any of its
securities under the Act (other than in connection with a merger or pursuant to
Form S-8 or similar form) it will give written notice by registered or certified mail, at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of each such registration statement, to
the Representative and to all other Holders of the Representative's Unit Purchase Option, Unit Warrants or Unit Shares underlying the Representative Units, of its intention to do so. If any of the
Representatives or other Holders of the Representative's Unit Purchase Option, Unit Warrants or Unit Shares underlying the Representative Units, notify the Company within twenty (20) days after
receipt of any such notice of its or their desire to include any such securities in such proposed registration statement, the Company shall afford each of the Representative and such Holders of the
Representative's Unit Purchase Option, Unit Warrants or Unit Shares underlying the Representative Units, the opportunity to have any of such securities registered under such registration statement. 


        Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 7.2, the Company shall have the right at any time after it shall have given written
notice pursuant to this Section 7.2 (irrespective of whether a written request for inclusion of any such securities shall have been made) to
elect not to file any such proposed registration statement, or to withdraw the same after the filing but prior to the Effective Date thereof. 



        (b)   The
Company covenants and agrees to give written notice of any registration request under this Section 7.3 by any
Holder or Holders to all other registered Holders of the Representative's Unit Purchase Option, Unit Shares and Unit Warrants, underlying the Representative Units within ten (10) days from the
date of the receipt of any such registration request. 




        7.4    Covenants of the Company With Respect to Registration.    In connection with any registration under  Section 7.2 or 7.3
hereof, the Company covenants and agrees as follows: 



        (a)   The
Company shall use its best efforts to file a registration statement within forty-five (45) days of receipt of any demand therefor in
accordance with Section 7.1, shall use 




3







 


its
best efforts to have any registration statement declared effective at the earliest possible time, and shall furnish each Holder desiring to sell the Units underlying the Representative's Unit
Purchase Option and Representative Units such number of prospectuses as shall reasonably be requested. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing of
any registration statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant to this Section 7.4(a) if (i) the Company is under contract or other binding legal obligation for a
material acquisition, reorganization or divestiture, or (ii) the Company is publicly committed to a self-tender or exchange offer and the filing of a registration statement would
cause a violation of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In the event of such postponement, the Company shall be required to file the registration statement pursuant to this
Section 7.4(a) upon the earlier of (i) the consummation or termination, as applicable, of the event requiring such postponement or (ii) 90 days after the receipt of the
initial demand for such registration. 


        (b)   The
Company shall pay all costs (excluding fees and expenses of Holder(s) counsel and any underwriting or selling commissions), fees and expenses in connection with all
registration statements filed pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 7.3(a) hereof including, without limitation, the Company's legal and accounting fees,
printing expenses, and blue sky fees and expenses. The Holder(s) will pay all costs, fees and expenses in connection with any registration statement filed pursuant to  Section 7.3(c). If the Company
shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 7.4(a),
the Company shall, in addition to any other equitable or other relief available to the Holder(s), be liable for any or all incidental, special and consequential damages and damages due to loss of
profit sustained by the Holder(s) requesting registration of their Representative's Unit Purchase Option, Unit Shares and Unit Warrants underlying the Representative Units. 


        (c)   The
Company will take all necessary action which may be required in qualifying or registering the Representative's Unit Purchase Option, Unit Shares and Unit Warrants
underlying the Representative Units included in a registration statement for offering and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states as reasonably are requested by the Holder(s),
provided that the Company shall not be obligated to execute or file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws of any such
jurisdiction. 


        (d)   The
Company shall indemnify the Holder(s) of the Representative's Unit Purchase Option, Representative Units, Unit Shares and Unit Warrants to be sold pursuant to any
registration statement and each person, if any, who controls such Holders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended ("Exchange Act"), against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to
which any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from such registration statement but only to the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions
pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify the Representative contained in Section 7 of the Underwriting Agreement. 


        (e)   The
Holder(s) of the Representative's Unit Purchase Option, Unit Shares and Unit Warrants underlying the Representative Units to be sold pursuant to a registration
statement, and their successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all loss, claim, damage or expense or liability (including all expenses reasonably incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from information furnished by or on behalf of such 




4







 





Holders,
or their successors or assigns, for specific inclusion in such registration statement to the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions contained in  Section 7 of the Underwriting Agreement
pursuant to which the Representative has agreed to indemnify the Company. 


        (f)    Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Holder(s) to exercise their Representative's Unit Purchase Option or the Representative Units
prior to the initial filing of any registration statement or the effectiveness thereof. 



        (g)   If
the Representative Units, Unit Shares and Unit Warrants underlying the Representative Units are to be sold in an underwritten public offering, the Company shall use
its best efforts to furnish to each Holder participating in the offering and to each such underwriter, a signed counterpart, addressed to such underwriter, of (i) an opinion of counsel to the
Company dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement, and (ii) a "cold comfort" letter dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement signed by the independent
public accountants who have issued a report on the Company's financial statements included in such registration statement, in each case covering substantially the same matters with respect to such
registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of such accountants' letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are
customarily covered in opinions of issuer's counsel and in accountants' letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities. 


        (h)   The
Company shall as soon as practicable after the Effective Date of the registration statement, and in any event within 15 months thereafter, have made
"generally available to its security holders" (within the meaning of Rule 158 under the Act) an earnings statement (which need not be audited) complying with Section 11(a) of the
Act and covering a period of at least 12 consecutive months beginning after the Effective Date of the registration statement. 



        (i)    The
Company shall deliver promptly to each Holder participating in the offering requesting the correspondence and memoranda described below, and the managing
underwriters, copies of all correspondence between the Commission and the Company, its counsel or auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its staff with respect to
the registration statement and permit each Holder and underwriter to do such investigation, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information contained in or omitted from the registration
statement as it deems reasonably
necessary to comply with applicable securities laws or rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). Such investigation shall include access to books, records and
properties and opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and independent auditors, all to such reasonable extent and at such reasonable times and as often as any such
Holder shall reasonably request. 


        (j)    The
Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement with the managing underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting, if any, by Holders holding a Majority of the
Representative's Unit Purchase Option, Representative Units, Unit Shares and Unit Warrants underlying the Representative Units requested to be included in such underwriting. Such underwriting
agreement shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, each Holder and such managing underwriters, and shall contain such representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and
such other terms as are customarily contained in agreements of that type used by the managing underwriter(s). 


        The
Holders shall be parties to any underwriting agreement relating to an underwritten sale of their Representative's Unit Purchase Option, Representative Units and the Units underlying
the Representative's Units and may, at their option, require that any or all the 




5







 





representations,
warranties and covenants of the Company to or for the benefit of such underwriter(s) shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Holders. Such Holders shall not be required to
make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriter(s) except as they may relate to such Holders, their intended methods of distribution, and except for matters
related to disclosures with respect to such Holders, contained or required to be contained, in such registration statement under the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. 


        (k)   For
purposes of this Agreement, the term "Majority" in reference to the Holders of Representative's Unit Purchase Option, Representative Units, Unit Shares and Unit
Warrants, shall mean in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding Units, assuming the full exercise of all Representative's Unit Purchase Option and Representative Units that
(i) are not held by the Company, an affiliate, officer, creditor, employee or agent thereof or any of their respective affiliates, members of their families, persons acting as nominees or in
conjunction therewith or (ii) have not been resold to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act or a registration statement filed with the Commission under the Act. 





        8.    Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities.    



        The
Exercise Price and number of securities issuable with respect to the Unit Warrants shall be adjusted on the same terms and conditions, and at the same time, as any adjustments in the
Exercise Price and number of shares issuable with respect to the Public Warrants required by the terms of the Public Warrants. 




        9.    Exchange and Replacement of Representative's Unit Purchase Option.    Each Representative's Unit Purchase Option
is exchangeable without expense, upon the surrender thereof by the registered Holder at the principal executive office of the Company, for a new Representative's Unit Purchase Option of like tenor and
date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the same number of Units as provided in the original Representative's Unit Purchase Option in such denominations as shall be designated by the
Holder thereof at the time of such surrender. 


        Upon
receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Representative's Unit Purchase Option, and, in case of loss,
theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of the
Representative's Unit Purchase Option, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Representative's Unit Purchase Option of like tenor, in lieu thereof. 



        10.    Elimination of Fractional Interests.    The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing
fractions of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Representative's Unit Purchase Option, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, it being the
intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock or other securities, properties or rights. 


        11.    Reservation and Listing of Securities.    The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of the Representative's Unit Purchase Option and the Representative Units, such number of shares of Common Stock
or other securities, properties or rights as shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the Representative's Unit Purchase Option and/or the
Representative Units and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, all Representative Units and/or Unit Shares or Unit Warrants and other securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly
issued, fully paid, non-assessable and not subject to the preemptive rights of any stockholder. As long as the Representative's Unit Purchase Option and/or Representative Units shall be
outstanding, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all Unit Shares and Unit Warrants issuable 


6







 



upon
the exercise of the Representative's Unit Purchase Option and Representative Units to be listed (subject to official notice of issuance) on all securities exchanges on which the Common Stock
issued to the public in connection herewith may then be listed and/or quoted on the American Stock Exchange 


        12.    Notices to Representative's Option Holders.    Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as
conferring upon the Holders the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meetings of stockholders for the election of directors or any other matter, or as
having any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. If, however, at any time prior to the expiration
of the Representative's Unit Purchase Option or Representative Units and their exercise, any of the following events shall occur: 



        (a)   the
Company shall take a record of the holders of its shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution payable otherwise
than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable otherwise than out of current or retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the books of
the Company; or 


        (b)   the
Company shall offer to all the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for
shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option, right or warrant to subscribe therefor; or 


        (c)   a
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of all or substantially all of its property
assets and business as an entirety shall be proposed; then, in any one or more of such events the Company shall give written notice of such event at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date
fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution, convertible or exchangeable securities or
subscription rights, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the
case may be. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any action taken in connection with the declaration or payment of any such dividend, or the issuance of
any convertible or exchangeable securities, or subscription rights, options or warrants, or any proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale. 




        13.    Notices    



        All
notices requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made when delivered, or mailed by registered or certified
mail, return receipt requested: 


        (a)   If

        (b)   If
to the Company, to the address set forth in Section 3hereof or to such other address as the Company may
designate by notice to the Holders. 




        14.    Supplements and Amendments.    The Company and the Representative may from time to time supplement or amend
this Agreement without the approval of any holders of Representative's Unit Purchase Option (other than the Representative) in order to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision
contained herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any provisions herein or to make any other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising hereunder which the Company and the
Representative may deem necessary or desirable and which the Company and the Representative deem shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Representative's Unit Purchase Option.

        15.    Successors.    All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Company, the Holders and their respective successors and assigns hereunder.

            , 2010. 


        17.    Governing Law: Submission to Jurisdiction.    



        (a)   This
Agreement and each Representative's Unit Purchase Option issued hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of Florida and for all
purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of such State without giving effect to the rules of said State governing the conflicts of laws.

summons to be served upon any of the Company, the Representative and the Holders (at the option of the party bringing such action, proceeding or claim) may be served by transmitting a copy thereof, by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to it at the address set forth in Section 13 hereof. Such
mailing shall be deemed personal service and shall be legal and binding upon the party so served in any action, proceeding or claim. The Company, the Representative and the Holders agree that the
prevailing party(ies) in any such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other party(ies) all of its/their reasonable legal costs and expenses relating to such action or proceeding
and/or incurred in connection with the preparation therefor. 




        18.    Entire Agreement; Modification.    This Agreement (including the Underwriting Agreement to the extent portions

invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement. 


        20.    Captions.    The caption headings of the Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference
only and are not intended, nor should they be construed as, a part of this Agreement and shall be given no substantive effect.

other Holder(s) of the Representative's Unit Purchase Option or Representative Units.
