EXHIBIT 10.12  

 
 

ASCENT SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
  
    BRIDGE UNIT PURCHASE AND INVESTOR SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT    
    

        THIS BRIDGE UNIT PURCHASE AND INVESTOR SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (the "Subscription Agreement") is dated as of December 19, 2005 between Ascent Solar
Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the "Company") and the person whose signature appears below as an Investor (the "Investor" and, together with persons so executing similar
agreements, the "Investors"). 

        The
Company has authorized the issuance and sale (the "Placement") of up to 56 Units, but not fewer than 20 Units (the "Minimum Units"), each Unit consisting of one Note of
$25,000 in principal amount substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each a "Note" and, collectively, the "Notes"); and one Right substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B (each a "Right" and, collectively, the "Rights") to receive securities valued at $25,000 if a Public Offering (defined below) is consummated and otherwise to receive securities as
described below. The Notes and the Rights are herein referred to, collectively, as the "Securities". The Investor desires to purchase the number of Units set forth on the signature page hereof, and
the Company desires to issue and sell such Units to the Investor, on the terms and conditions set forth herein. 

        The
parties therefore agree as follows: 

        1.     Subscription. The Investor, by execution of this Subscription Agreement, subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the
Company, the number of Units set forth on the signature page hereof for a purchase price of $25,000 per Unit; and the Company, by acceptance of this Subscription Agreement, agrees to issue and sell
that number of Units to the Investor, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement. 

        2.     Principal Terms. The principal terms of the Placement are set forth below: 

	

Purchase Price:	
 	

$25,000 per Unit. A minimum purchase of 2 Units is required unless waived by the Company.
	

Purchaser Qualification:	
 	

Accredited Investors only. The Placement Agent and/or the Company may decline to accept any subscription.
	

Note Terms:	
 	
Interest: 10% per annum, based on a 365-day year, payable at maturity.
	

 	
 	
Prepayment: At any time, in whole or in part, without penalty.
	

 	
 	
Maturity Date: One year from the first Closing (defined below), except that in the event of the closing of an offering by the Company, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, of its
equity securities for a gross purchase price of not less than $5,000,000 (a "Public Offering"), the principal and accrued and unpaid interest will become immediately due and payable.
	

 	
 	
Conversion: If no Public Offering has occurred by the Maturity Date, the Investors shall thereafter have the right to convert the principal and unpaid interest of the Notes into shares of
Common Stock at a conversion price of $3.00 per share (appropriately adjusted for restructuring or dilutive changes), except that no fractional shares will be issued.
	 	 	 

 

	

Rights Terms:	
 	
Exchange: If a Public Offering occurs on or before the Maturity Date, each Right will be automatically exchanged for that number of shares, units or other securities sold in the Public
Offering that have a value (based on the initial public offering price in the Public Offering) of $25,000, except that no fractional securities will be issued.
	

 	
 	

If a Public Offering does not occur on or before the Maturity Date, then at any time after the Maturity Date and during the Term (defined below) of the Rights, each Right shall be exchangeable for 8,333 shares of the Company's common stock; provided,
however, that if, at any time during the Term of the Rights, the Company shall, other than as a result of a Public Offering, have a class of equity securities traded on any exchange or quotation system, each Right shall be exchangeable for $25,000 of
such equity securities, based on the average closing price of such security for the 30 trading days (or such shorter period in which such securities have been trading) immediately preceding the exchange date, except that no fractional securities will
be issued.
	

 	
 	

The number and kind of securities for which the Rights are exchangeable are subject to adjustment as a result of certain restructurings or, in certain events, to prevent dilution.
	

 	
 	
Term: Any Rights then remaining unexchanged will expire two years from the date of the first Closing.
	

Closing:	
 	

There may be one or more closings (each a "Closing") of the Units. The first Closing will be on the second business day following acceptance by the Company of subscriptions for not fewer than the Minimum Units and receipt by Hagen O'Connell LLP, 121
SW Morrison Street, Suite 1500, Portland, Oregon 97204 (Attn: Joseph T. Hagen) as Escrow Agent of the purchase price therefor. If the above conditions have not been met on or before December 31, 2005, unless extended by agreement between the
Placement Agent and the Company for up to an additional 30 days, the Escrow Agent shall promptly return all of the funds on deposit with it to the subscribers and all accepted subscriptions shall become void. After the first Closing, additional
Units may be sold at other Closings from time to time, provided that no more than 56 total Units will be sold without the consent of the holders of a majority of the Units then outstanding.
	 	 	 

2

 

	

SEC Reporting:	
 	

If a Public Offering has occurred, or if the Company has otherwise become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and thereafter as long as any of the Notes and/or Rights are outstanding, the Company
will maintain the listing of its common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), and will file all reports required by the Exchange Act in a timely manner.
	

Registration Rights:	
 	

Concurrently with the registration of the securities to be offered in the Public Offering, the Company shall register the securities for which the Rights are exchangeable for resale by the holders thereof. After effectiveness, the Company shall use
its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement (or any successor registration statement on which such securities may be registered) to remain current and to make available to such holders a form of prospectus usable in connection
with the resale of such securities at all times at which such securities remain restricted and are not eligible for resale by non-affiliates without registration under federal securities laws.
	

 	
 	

Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any registration statement, each holder of securities issuable on exchange of Rights, agrees that, for a period of one year from the effective date of the registration statement relating to the Public Offering, it
will not, directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell any such securities without the prior written consent of Paulson Investment Company, Inc. as further described in Annex B.
	

 	
 	

If at any time after the first anniversary of the effectiveness of the registration statement required to be filed to comply with the Company's registration obligations described above, the registration statement is not usable in connection with any
sale of securities registered thereby, the Company will pay for each month, or prorated portion thereof, during which such condition continues, an assessment to the holders of the affected securities equal to one percent of the value of the
securities. The foregoing assessment shall not apply under certain conditions described in Annex B.
	

 	
 	

As a condition of the exercise of any registration right and/or any right to payment of an assessment, each holder of registrable securities shall cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any registration statement
or any amendment or supplement thereto or any prospectus including, but not limited to, the prompt furnishing of all information reasonably required by the Company with respect to the identity of such holder and such holder's proposed plan of
distribution.
	 	 	 

3

 

	

 	
 	

The registration rights are further described in Annex B.
	

Placement Agent:	
 	

Paulson Investment Company, Inc., acting as placement agent, will use its reasonable best efforts to place the Units, will earn a commission equal to 10% of the gross proceeds from Unit sales and will be reimbursed for its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses, including, but not limited to, accountable travel and entertainment and counsel fees.
	

Jurisdiction/Choice of Law:	
 	

All transaction documents shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the state of Oregon as applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within the state of Oregon, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.
The parties irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Multnomah County, Oregon in connection with any action relating to this transaction.
	

Legal Opinion:	
 	

At or prior to any Closing, the Investors shall receive a legal opinion from Company counsel in form and substance satisfactory to each of them as to the validity and enforceability of the Notes, the Rights, and other customary matters, including
without limitation the application to and treatment of the transaction of and under the usury laws of Oregon.

        3.     Scope of Subscription Agreement; Resolution of Inconsistencies. The principal terms described in this Subscription
Agreement are amplified, and additional terms are contained in, Annex A and Annex B, each attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference and each intended to be a binding part of
this Subscription Agreement. In the event of a discrepancy between the terms set forth in this Subscription Agreement and any provision of Annex A or Annex B, the terms set forth in this
Subscription Agreement shall govern and the provisions of Annex A and Annex B shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to cause them to be consistent with the terms set forth
herein.

ANNEX A  

        This Annex A sets forth additional terms applicable to the Bridge Unit Purchase and Investor Subscription Agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") (the
Subscription Agreement, together with the annexes, exhibits and attachments thereto are herein referred to as the "Agreement"). Capitalized terms used herein and not herein defined have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Subscription Agreement. 

ARTICLE 1

SUBSCRIPTION  

        To solicit the Company's acceptance of the Investor's subscription, the Investor should provide an executed copy of the Subscription Agreement together with a
certified or bank cashier's check in the amount of the purchase price, or concurrently with a wire transfer of the purchase price, in either case as provided in the Instructions attached to the
Subscription Agreement as Exhibit C. Funds so received will be deposited in escrow under the terms of the Escrow Agreement attached to the Subscription Agreement as Exhibit D (the
"Escrow Agreement"). 

ARTICLE 2

CLOSING AND DELIVERY  

        Section 2.1    Closing.    There may be one or more Closings (each a "Closing") of the Units. The first Closing
of the purchase and sale of the Units under the Agreement shall take place on the second business day following acceptance by the Company of subscriptions for not less than the Minimum Units and the
satisfaction of the other conditions described herein and in the Escrow Agreement. Subsequent subscriptions will close promptly following acceptance by the Company of such
subscriptions at one or more additional closings. The Company may reject any subscription for any reason or no reason in its sole discretion. 

        Section 2.2    Delivery of Certificates for Securities.    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at or
promptly after the Closing, the Company will deliver the Securities deliverable to the Investor against payment of the purchase price therefor. Certificates for the Securities will be issued in the
name and delivered by deposit thereof in overnight mail to the address of Investor set forth on the signature page of the Agreement unless another name or method of delivery is agreed. It is
understood that such certificates and any certificates issued upon exercise or conversion thereof may bear one or more legends in substantially the following form: 

	(1)
	"THE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES FOR WHICH THEY MAY BE EXCHANGEABLE MAY BE SOLD,
OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF (i) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO UNDER SUCH ACT, OR (ii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."

	(2)
	Any
other legend reflecting a restriction on transfer imposed or required by contract or applicable federal or state securities laws. 

        Section 2.3    Power of Attorney.    Investor hereby appoints Paulson Investment Company, Inc. and each
of its representatives as Investor's true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with the power to act alone for 

24

 

and
on behalf of the Investor to provide instruction or notification to, or correspond with, the Escrow Agent as contemplated in the Agreement, including without limitation any instruction to
withhold, transfer or release Subscription Proceeds (defined in the Escrow Agreement) deposited by or on behalf of Investor. 

ARTICLE 3

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES  

        Section 3.1    Representations and Warranties of the Company.    The Company hereby represents and warrants to
the Investor that, as of the Closing and except as set forth in any Company filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission during the Company's current or most recently completed fiscal year or in
written disclosure materials provided by the Company to the Investor in connection with the Placement (collectively the "Disclosure Materials"): 

        (1)    Organization and Standing of the Company.    The Company is a corporation or other business entity duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted.
The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would have a material adverse effect on the business, financial
condition or prospects of the Company. 

        (2)    Authorization.    The Company's execution and delivery of the Agreement and its performance of its obligations
thereunder has been duly and validly authorized by all required corporate action. The Agreement has been validly executed and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally and by general principles of
equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement by the Company did not require the
consent or approval of any other person, entity or governmental agency that has not been obtained. 

        (3)    Capitalization.    

        (a)   The
Company's capital structure is accurately and completely described in the Disclosure Materials. All the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been
duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. 

        (b)   Except
as described in the Disclosure Materials, there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, contracts, demands, commitments, convertible
securities, or other agreements or arrangements of any character or nature whatever under which the Company is or may be obligated to issue or purchase shares of its capital stock. 

        (c)   The
Notes and the Rights, when issued and sold as provided herein, will constitute valid obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except
as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Any capital stock issuable upon exchange of Rights and/or conversion of Notes will, when so issued, against payment therefor if such
payment is required, be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. 

        (4)    No Material Defaults.    The Company is not in default, nor has any event occurred that, with the passage of
time, will cause the Company to be in default under the provisions of any material agreement to which it is a party. 

        (5)    Litigation.    There are no legal actions, suits, arbitrations, or other legal or administrative proceedings
pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened against the Company that, if 

25

 

determined
in a manner adverse to the Company, would have a material adverse effect on the Company or its properties, assets, business or prospects, nor is the Company aware of any facts that might
constitute the basis for any such claim. 

        (6)    Compliance With the Law and Other Instruments.    To the Company's best knowledge, the business operations of
the Company have been and are being conducted in accordance with all applicable and material laws, rules, and regulations. The Company is not in material violation of, or in default under, any term or
provision of the charter documents, or of any lien, mortgage, lease, agreement, instrument, order, judgment, or decree, or subject to any restriction, contained in any of the foregoing, of any kind or
character which materially adversely affects in any way the business, properties, assets, or prospects of the Company, or which would prohibit the Company from entering into the Agreement or prevent
consummation of the issuance of securities contemplated by the Agreement. The Company has made all material filings with governmental authorities that it is required to make on a timely basis. 

        (7)    Title to Properties and Assets.    Except as described in the Disclosure Materials, the Company has good and
marketable title to all of its material properties and assets subject to no mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, security interest, encumbrance, or restriction except those which do not materially
adversely affect the value or use thereof. 

        (8)    Records.    The books of account, minute books, stock certificate books, and stock transfer ledgers of the
Company are complete and correct, and such books do not omit any transaction or other information required to be set forth therein. 

        (9)    Brokers or Finders.    All negotiations on the part of the Company relative to the Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby have been carried on by the Company without the intervention of any person or as the result of any act of the Company in such manner as to give rise to any valid
claim for a brokerage commission, finder's fee, or other like payment, except that the Company has retained Paulson Investment Company, Inc. as its agent in connection with the placement of the
Units. 

        (10)    Taxes.    The Company has filed all federal, state, county and local income, franchise, excise, real and
personal property and other tax returns and reports (including, but not limited to, those relating to social security, withholding, unemployment insurance, and occupation (sales) and use taxes)
required to have been filed by the Company up to the date hereof. All of the foregoing returns are true and correct in all material respects and the Company has paid all taxes, interest and penalties
shown on such returns or reports as being due. The Company has no liability for any taxes, interest or penalties of any nature whatsoever, except for those taxes that are not yet due or that are being
contested in good faith by the Company by appropriate proceedings and that are properly accrued on the books of the Company. 

        (11)    Disclosure.    The information contained in the Disclosure Materials was true and correct in all material
respects as of the date thereof and did not omit any information required to make such information not misleading. Since the date of such information, to the Company's best knowledge, no event has
occurred that has caused such information, taken as a whole, not to present a fair and accurate description of the Company's business, financial condition and prospects in all material respects. 

        (12)    No Subsidiaries.    The Company has no subsidiaries as of the date hereof. 

        Section 3.2    Representations and Warranties of the Investor.    The Investor represents and warrants to the
Company as follows: 

        (1)    Accredited Investor Status.    The Investor is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Securities and
Exchange Commission Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect by virtue of the 

26

 

applicability
to the Investor of one or more of the categories set forth in the Accredited Investor definition attached hereto as Exhibit E. 

        (2)    Purchase Entirely for Own Account.    The Securities to be received by the Investor will be acquired for
investment for the Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Investor has no present intention of selling,
granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing the Agreement, the
Investor further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person,
with respect to the Securities. 

        (3)    Disclosure of Information.    The Investor has reviewed the Disclosure Materials and all other information it
considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Units. The Investor further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company
regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Units and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company and to obtain additional information (to the extent the
Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) and/or conduct its own independent investigation necessary to verify the accuracy of any information
furnished to the Investor or to which the Investor had access. 

        (4)    Investment Experience.    The Investor (i) is experienced in evaluating and investing in private
placement transactions in securities of companies similar to the Company and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
the investment in the Units and (ii) acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Units, including the loss of the entire investment. 

        (5)    Restricted Securities.    The Investor understands that the Securities are being sold pursuant to an exemption
from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Investor also understands that the Securities and, with certain limited exceptions,
any securities issuable on exercise or conversion thereof may not be resold by the Investor without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of an
effective registration statement covering the Securities or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Securities may be restricted from resale in a transaction to which
United States securities laws apply for an indefinite period of time. 

        (6)    Illiquid Investment.    The Investor understands that no market for the Securities exists and no such market
may ever exist. 

        (7)    Residence.    The Investor resides, or its office primarily responsible for the purchase of the Securities is
located, at the address listed on the signature page of the Agreement. 

        (8)    Brokers or Finders.    All negotiations on the part of the Investor relative to the Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby have been carried on by the Investor without the intervention of any person or as the result of any act of the Investor in such manner as to give rise to any valid
claim for a brokerage commission, finder's fee, or other like payment. 

        (9)    Reliance.    The Investor understands that the Agreement is made with the Investor in reliance upon the
Investor's representations to the Company, as set forth above.

        Section 2.2    Effectiveness and Maintenance of Registration.    Following the filing described in
Section 2.1, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain effectiveness of the Registration Statement concurrently with the effectiveness of the registration statement relating

Rule 415 (or any comparable future regulation) until the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities have been sold and (ii) the date on which all the
Registrable Securities are saleable without registration under the Securities Act (the "Registration Period"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

31

 

the
Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3.1 and for as long as the Public Offering continues to be pursued: 

        (a)   prepare and file with the SEC a form of prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto required for use in
connection with the resale of the Registrable Securities; 

        (b)   prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep
the Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period; 

        (c)   promptly upon its availability, furnish the Holders one copy of the Registration Statement, the prospectus and any
amendments or supplements thereto; 

        (d)   promptly notify each Holder of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective

        (e)   promptly respond to any and all comments received from the SEC; 

        (f)    promptly file an acceleration request following the resolution or clearance of all SEC comments or, if applicable,
following notification by the SEC that the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto will not be subject to review; 

        (g)   use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of the
Registration Statement and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible moment and to notify each Holder who holds Registrable Securities being sold

        (i)    take such action as may be required to cause the Registrable Securities to be tradable, upon resale pursuant to the
Registration Statement, on any securities exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is then tradable; and 

        (j)    at the request of the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities, prepare
and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and any prospectus as may be necessary in order to change the plan of distribution set forth in such Registration
Statement. 

        The
Company shall be deemed to have complied with its obligation to maintain an effective Registration Statement under this Section 2.2 if, at all times during the Registration
Period, there is effective a registration statement (with an available current prospectus) registering the resale of the
Registrable Securities,and any such effective registration statement shall fall within the definition of "Registration Statement." 

        Section 2.3    Changes Requiring Amendment or Supplement.    As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of
such event or condition, the Company shall notify each Holder of the happening of any event or the existence of any condition as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and use its best efforts promptly to prepare a supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver such number of copies of such
supplement or amendment to each Holder as such Holder may reasonably request; provided that, for not more than thirty (30) consecutive trading days (or a total of not more than sixty 

32

 

(60) trading
days in any twelve (12) month period), the Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at
the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company (an "Allowed Delay"); provided, further, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Holders
in writing of the existence of (but in no event, without the prior written consent of the Holders, shall the Company disclose to such Holders any of the facts or circumstances regarding) material
non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay and (ii) advise the Holders in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay.
Upon expiration of the Allowed Delay, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of this Section 2.3 with respect to the information giving rise thereto. 

        Section 2.4    State Registration or Qualification.    The Company shall use reasonable efforts to
(i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities under the securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Holders who hold a majority in interest of the
Registrable Securities being offered reasonably request, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such
registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such
registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities
for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (a) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction
where it would not otherwise be required to qualify, (b) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, (c) file a general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction, (d) provide any undertakings that cause the Company undue expense or burden, or (e) make any change in its charter or bylaws, which in each case the Board of Directors of
the Company determines to be contrary to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. 

        Section 2.5    Assessment if Registration Statement is not Usable.    If at any time that is more than one year
after the Effective Date and prior to the end of the Registration Period, no Registration Statement is effective or the Registration Statement is otherwise not usable in connection with any sale of
the Registrable Securities, the Company will pay, within five business days following the end of each
month, for each month or portion thereof during which such condition continues, an assessment to the holders of the affected securities at the rate of one percent per month (prorated for periods less
than one month) of the value of any affected Registrable Securities based on the average closing price of securities of the same class and series during such month or portion thereof; provided,
however, that no penalty shall be payable (i) with respect to any period during an Allowed Delay; (ii) with respect to a reasonable time for the preparation of any required amendment
to the Registration Statement or any supplement to the Prospectus and, in the case of an amendment to the Registration Statement, for review and clearance thereof by the SEC; or (iii) solely as
a result of any provision of the securities laws or regulations of any jurisdiction other than the United States prohibiting the sale of such securities. Such penalty shall be in lieu of all other
remedies of any Holder with respect to such event. 

ARTICLE 3

OBLIGATIONS OF THE HOLDERS  

        In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Holders shall have the following obligations: 

        Section 3.1    It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company set forth in ARTICLE 2 with
respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Holder that such Holder shall, in a timely manner, furnish to the Company, in writing, such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and
shall execute 

33

 

such
documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least seven days prior to the anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall
notify each Holder of the information the Company requires from each such Holder; such Holder shall promptly respond to the Company with the required information and shall thereafter keep the Company
reasonably informed of any changes to any such information. 

        Section 3.2    Each Holder, by such Holder's acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the
Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto or to any related prospectus, unless
such Holder has notified the Company in writing of such Holder's election to exclude all of such Holder's Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement. 

        Section 3.3    If Holders holding a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities determine
to engage the services of an underwriter in connection with the resale of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees to enter into and perform such Holder's obligations under an underwriting
agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without limitation, customary
indemnification and contribution obligations, with the managing underwriter of such resale and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of
the Registrable Securities, unless such Holder has notified the Company in writing of such Holder's election to exclude all of such Holder's Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement. 

        Section 3.4    Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event that,
in the opinion of the Company's legal counsel, has caused the Registration Statement to no longer be effective or the prospectus to no longer comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, such
Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until such Holder's receipt of notice that the Registrable Securities may once again be
resold under the Registration Statement, together with, if required, copies of any amended or supplemented prospectus for use in connection with any such resales. 

        Section 3.5    Notwithstanding the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, no Holder will, directly or indirectly,
sell or offer to sell Registrable Securities in reliance on the Registration Statement for a period of one year after the Effective Date unless such Holder has, theretofore obtained the written
consent of Paulson Investment Company, Inc, which consent may be withheld in any circumstances and for any reason at the sole discretion of Paulson Investment Company, Inc. 

ARTICLE 4

EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION  

        All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting expenses, discounts and commissions or other direct selling expenses relating to any resale of the Registrable
Securities, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualification
fees, printers and accounting fees, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel selected by the Holders shall be borne by the
Company provided, however, the fees of counsel to the Holders shall not exceed $2,500. 

34

   ARTICLE 5

INDEMNIFICATION  

        Section 5.1    Indemnification by the Company.    To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify,
hold harmless and defend (i) each Holder who holds such Registrable Securities, (ii) the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents and each person who controls any Holder within
the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), if any, (iii) any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Holder, and
(iv) the directors, officers, partners, employees and each person who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the 1934 Act, if any (each, a "Company
Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, including, but not limited to, actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory
organization, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof, (collectively "Holder Damages") to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Holder Damages arise out of or are based
upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (as amended or
supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements
made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the
1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities (the matters in the
foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, "Violations"); provided, however, that no indemnity shall be given with respect to any Holder Damages based on the sale of
Registrable Securities in any jurisdiction within the United States under whose laws registration or qualification was required and not obtained. The Company shall reimburse each Company Indemnified
Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
claim made against such Company Indemnified Person in respect of any Violation or alleged Violation, it being understood that fees of more than one legal counsel shall be deemed reasonable only if and
to the extent that the assistance of separate counsel is required for conflict of interest reasons. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained
in this Section 5.1: (i) shall not apply to Holder Damages arising out of or based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by any Company Indemnified Person or underwriter
for such Company Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto and not corrected in a
timely manner by such Company Indemnified Person or underwriter; (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim alleging a Violation if such settlement is effected without the
prior written consent of the Company,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; (iii) shall not apply to a Holder Damages resulting from the violation of registration or qualification requirements of any jurisdiction within
the United States, unless the Company advised the Company Indemnified Person or any underwriter that the resale of the Registrable Securities had been duly registered or qualified in such
jurisdiction, or of any foreign law, rule or regulation; and (iv) with respect to any untruth or omission in any prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any Company Indemnified Person if
the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in such prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in a later prospectus or prospectus supplement, such corrected prospectus was timely made
available by the Company pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof. 

        Section 5.2    Indemnification by Holders.    Each Holder agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify, hold
harmless and defend the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs 

35

 

the
Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the 1934 Act, any underwriter and any other stockholder selling securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement or any of its directors or officers or any person who controls such stockholder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the 1934 Act (each a
"Holder Indemnified Person" and together with each Company Indemnified Person, an "Indemnified Party"), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, including, but not limited to,
actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof, (collectively "Company Damages") to which such
Holder Indemnified Person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Company Damages result from the inclusion by the Company of information in the
Registration Statement, the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in
connection with such Registration Statement and not thereafter corrected on a timely basis by notice to the Company; and such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses (promptly as such
expenses are incurred and are due and payable) reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any claim made against such Holder Indemnified Person based on such information
provided by such Holder, it being understood that fees of more than one legal counsel shall be deemed reasonable only if and to the extent that the assistance of separate counsel is required for
conflict of interest reasons; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim if such settlement is
effected without the prior written consent of such Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

        Section 5.3    Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying
party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense
thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying
party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The indemnifying party shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified
Persons or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, and such legal counsel shall be selected by Holders holding a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities included in
the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates (with the approval of a majority-in-interest of the Holders), if the Holders are entitled to indemnification hereunder, or
the Company, if the Company is entitled to indemnification hereunder, as applicable. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any
such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is
actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the
investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable. 

36

 

ARTICLE 6

CONTRIBUTION  

        If the indemnification provided for in ARTICLE 5 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 5.1 or
Section 5.2 in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and
the Indemnified Party (or the entity with which such Indemnified Party is affiliated) on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 

ARTICLE 7

ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS  

        The rights under this Annex B shall be assignable by the Holders to any transferee of all or any portion of Registrable Securities if: (i) the Holders
agree in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company
is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with
respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) following such transfer or assignment, the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or
assignee is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of
this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein, and (v) such transferee shall be an "accredited investor" as
that term defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. 

ARTICLE 8

AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS  

        Provisions of this Annex B may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively), with, but only with, written consent of the Company and Holders who hold a majority interest of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this
ARTICLE 8 shall be binding upon each Holder and the Company. 

ARTICLE 9

MISCELLANEOUS  

        Section 9.1    A person or entity is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such person or entity owns
of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more persons or entities with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the
Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities. 

        Section 9.2    The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to
each Holder by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for breach of its obligations under this Annex B
will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by 

37

 

the
Company of any of the provisions under this Annex B, that each Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies in law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties
assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Annex B and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. 

THIS
NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), NOR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OFFERED FOR SALE, ASSIGNED OR
TRANSFERRED UNLESS (A) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MET OR
(B) EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS ARE AVAILABLE.

ASCENT SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

CONDITIONALLY CONVERTIBLE NOTE

            ,
2005 

        FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, ASCENT SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation, ("Borrower") promises to pay to the order
of                        ("Lender") the principal amount of
                        Dollars
($                        ), together with interest on the unpaid principal amount at the rate of 10 percent per annum based
on a 365-day year, all upon the terms set
forth below. This Conditionally Convertible Note (the "Note") is issued pursuant to that certain Bridge Unit Purchase and Investor Subscription Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2005, by and
between Lender and Borrower (the "Subscription Agreement"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to them in the Subscription Agreement. 

        1.    Maturity.    Except as otherwise provided herein, the principal and interest hereunder shall become due and
payable in full on the date one year from the first Closing, except that in the event of the closing of a Public Offering, the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest will become immediately
due and payable. 

        2.    Prepayment.    Subject to the conversion rights provided for in Section 4, hereof, Borrower may prepay
any or all amounts due under this Bridge Note at any time without penalty. 

        3.    Method of Payment.    Any payment of principal or interest hereunder shall be made by certified or bank
cashier's check unless Holder has provided Borrower with appropriate wire instructions, in which event, the payment shall be made by wire transfer of "same day" funds. For the purpose of any interest
calculation, payment shall be deemed made when the check is sent by overnight delivery or when the wire is sent. Any partial payment shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and
thereafter to a reduction of principal. 

38

   
        4.    Conditional Conversion Rights.    If no Public Offering shall have occurred within one year from the first
Closing, Lender or any permitted assignee of Lender ("Holder") shall have the right, at any time thereafter and until all principal of, and accrued interest on, the Note shall have been paid, to
convert all, but not less than all, of the accrued and unpaid interest on, and all or any part of the principal of, the Note into shares of Borrower's Common Stock at a conversion price of $3.00 per
share, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5, by providing notice of Holder's election to convert to Borrower; provided, however, that no fractional shares will be issued. Upon receipt
by Borrower of Holder's notice of such election, the Note shall represent the right to receive the Common Stock into which it has been converted and Borrower's right and obligation to repay the Note
shall be extinguished. 

        5.    Anti Dilution Adjustments.    The number and kind of securities or other property into which this Note may
become convertible shall be subject to adjustment as follows: 

	(a)
	If
a split or a reverse split shall have occurred with respect to the Common Stock, the conversion rate shall be appropriately adjusted to cause the Holder to receive, upon
conversion, a number of shares of Common Stock representing the same percentage of the equity of the Company to which the Holder would have been entitled on such conversion if the split had not
occurred.

	(b)
	If
a dividend or other distribution shall be made in favor of the Common Stock, appropriate adjustment shall be made so that, upon conversion of the Note, the Holder shall receive, in
addition to the Common Stock otherwise obtainable on such conversion, the cash, securities or other property that it would have received had the Note been so converted immediately prior to the split,
dividend or distribution.

	(c)
	If
the Common Stock shall, as the result of a merger or otherwise, be converted into the right to receive other securities or property, appropriate adjustment shall be made so that,
upon conversion of the Note, the Holder shall receive, in lieu of Common Stock, the securities and/or property that it would have received as a result of the merger or other such transaction had the
Note been so converted immediately prior to the record date therefor. 

        6.    Default.    In the event of an occurrence of any event of default specified below, the principal of, and all
accrued and unpaid interest on, the Note shall become immediately due and payable without notice, except as specified below: 

	(a)
	Borrower
fails to make any payment hereunder when due, which failure has not been cured within 15 days following such due date.

	(b)
	Any
defined event of default occurs under any contract or instrument pursuant to which Borrower has incurred any liability for borrowed money in excess of $100,000, which event of
default has not been waived within five business days following such occurrence, and which event of default is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's business.

	(c)
	Borrower
files a petition to take advantage of any insolvency act; makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; commences a proceeding for the appointment of a receiver,
trustee, liquidator or conservator of itself of a whole or any substantial part of its property; files a petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement or similar relief under the federal
bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law or statute of the United States of America or any state.

	(d)
	A
court of competent jurisdiction enters an order, judgment or decree appointing a custodian, receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of Borrower or of the whole or any
substantial part of its properties, or approves a petition filed against Borrower seeking reorganization or arrangement or similar relief under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law
or 

39

 

statute
of the Untied States of America or any state; or if, under the provisions of any other law for the relief or aid of debtors, a court of competent jurisdiction assumes custody or control of
Borrower or of the whole or any substantial part of its properties; or there is commenced against Borrower any proceeding for any of the foregoing relief and such proceeding or petition remains
undismissed for a period of 30 days; or if Borrower by any act indicates its consent to or approval of any such proceeding or petition. 

	(e)
	If
(i) any judgment remaining unpaid, unstayed or undismissed for a period of 60 days is rendered against Borrower which by itself or together with all other such
judgments rendered against Borrower remaining unpaid, unstayed or undismissed for a period of 60 days, is in excess of $100,000, or (ii) there is any attachment or execution against
Borrower's properties remaining unstayed or undismissed for a period of 60 days which by itself or together with all other attachments and executions against Borrower's properties remaining
unstayed or undismissed for a period of 60 days is for an amount in excess of $100,000. 

        7.    Successors and Assigns.    The Note is transferable and assignable by Lender or any subsequent permitted
assignee subject to the requirement that any such assignment or transfer be, in the opinion of Borrower's counsel, in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. All covenants,
agreements and undertakings in the Note by or on behalf of any of the parties shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties whether so expressed or not. 

        8.    Notices.    Any and all notices, requests, consents and demands required or permitted to be given hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and received (i) upon personal delivery, (ii) upon the first business day following the receipt of confirmation of facsimile transmission to
the telefax number as indicated below, or (iii) upon the third business day after deposit in the United States mail, by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid and addressed as follows:

        9.    Waiver/Amendment.    Borrower hereby waives presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of protest for
nonpayment of the Note and consents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence. The Note may only be amended or modified by written agreement signed by Borrower
and Holder. 

        10.    Expenses.    In the event that Holder brings legal action against Borrower, or Borrower brings legal action
against Holder, to enforce or otherwise determine the meaning or enforceability of the Note or any provision hereof, each party shall bear its own expenses, including attorney fees, directly
attributable to such action. However, in any action for breach of the Note, including nonpayment, the prevailing party in any such dispute shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs and
attorney fees incurred in connection with such action. 

        11.    Holder is Not a Shareholder.    Holder, solely by virtue of the ownership of the Note, shall not be considered

THE
RIGHTS HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. NEITHER THE RIGHTS NOR THE SECURITIES FOR WHICH IT IS EXCHANGEABLE MAY BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR
HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF (i) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO UNDER SUCH ACT, OR (ii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH

ASCENT SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

BRIDGE RIGHT  

        This certifies that pursuant to the terms of this certificate, for value received, ASCENT SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation, (the "Company")
hereby grants to                        (the "Holder")
            Rights, each Right exchangeable for securities of the Company as further described below. 

        The
Rights ("Rights") evidenced by this Certificate (this "Certificate") are issued pursuant to that certain Bridge Unit Purchase and Investor Subscription Agreement, dated as of
December 19, 2005, by and between the Company and the Holder (the "Subscription Agreement"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Subscription Agreement. 

1.    Exchange of Right.

        1.1    Securities for which the Rights are Exchangeable.    Each Right is exchangeable, as a part of the exchange of
all, but not less than all, of the Rights evidenced by this Certificate, as follows: 

        (a)   If
a Public Offering has occurred on or before the Maturity Date (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), then each Right shall be automatically exchanged for
securities substantially identical to the securities sold in the Public Offering having a value, based on the initial public offering price therefor, of $25,000, except that no fractional securities
shall be issued. 

        (b)   If
a Public Offering has not occurred on or before the Maturity Date, then, at any time after the Maturity Date and during the Term (as defined in the Subscription
Agreement) of the Rights, each Right shall be exchangeable for 8,333 shares of common stock of the Company; provided, however, that if, at any time during the Term of the Rights, the Company shall,
other than as a result of a Public Offering, have a class of equity securities traded on any exchange or quotation system, each Right shall be exchangeable for $25,000 of such equity securities, based
on the average closing price of such security for the 30 trading days (or such shorter period in which such securities have been trading) immediately preceding the exchange date, except that no
fractional securities shall be issued. 

        The
securities for which the Rights are at any time exchangeable or for which the Rights have been exchanged are herein referred to as the "Exchange Securities". 

        1.2    Exchange Period.    The Rights are not exchangeable until the earlier of: 

        (a)   the
closing of a Public Offering; and 

        (b)   one
year from the first Closing. 

        The
Rights will expire, and will thereafter not be exchangeable, at 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the second anniversary of the first Closing (the "Expiration Date"). 

42

 

        1.3    Procedure for Exchanging Rights.    

        (a)   The
Rights will be deemed to have been exchanged upon automatic exchange as described in Section 1.1(a) or otherwise when the Company has received all of the
following items (the "Exchange Date"): 

        (i)    A
completed Exchange Notice, as described in 1.4 below, executed by the Holder; and 

        (ii)   This
Certificate. 

        (b)   Certificates
representing Exchange Securities will be delivered by the Company in accordance with the Exchange Notice within 10 days after the Exchange Date. 

        (c)   The
Exchange Securities will be deemed to have been issued on the Exchange Date, and the person designated in the Exchange Notice as the person in whose name such
Exchange Securities are to be issued will be deemed for all purposes to have become the record holder of such Exchange Securities on the Exchange Date. 

        (d)   The
issuance of certificates for Exchange Securities upon exchange of the Rights will be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof or any
other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such exchange and the related issuance of Exchange Securities. 

        (e)   The
holders of Exchange Securities have certain registration rights as set forth in the Subscription Agreement. 

        1.4    Exchange Notice.    The Exchange Notice will state (i) if the Exchange Securities are not to be issued
in the name of the Holder, the name of the person to whom the certificates representing such Exchange Securities; and (ii) the address to which certificates representing Exchange Securities are
to be delivered. 

        1.5    Fractional Shares.    The Company is not required to issue any fraction of a security upon exchange of the
Rights but shall instead pay an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of such fractional security. 

2.    Adjustment in Shares of Capital Stock.    The number and kind of Exchange Securities issuable upon the exchange of the Rights
are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2 

        2.1    Subdivision or Combination of Shares.    If the Company at any time subdivides outstanding shares of any class
of its capital stock for which the Rights are exchangeable, into a greater number of shares of such capital stock (including a stock split effected as a stock dividend) or combines its outstanding
shares of such capital stock into a lesser number of shares, the number of shares of such capital stock issuable upon exchange of the Rights will be adjusted to such number as is obtained by
multiplying the number of shares of such capital stock issuable upon exchange of the Rights immediately prior to such subdivision or combination by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate
number of shares of such capital stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such subdivision or combination and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of such capital
stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination. 

        2.2    Effect of Sale, Merger or Consolidation.    If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital
stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to another corporation, is effected after the date
hereof in such a way that holders of any class or series of capital stock for which the Rights are or become exchangeable will be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in
exchange for such capital stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, 

43

 

consolidation,
merger or sale, lawful and adequate provision will be made whereby the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive, upon the basis and the terms and conditions specified in this
Certificate and in lieu of the shares immediately theretofore issuable and receivable upon the exchange of the Rights, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with
respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of capital stock equal to the number of shares of such capital stock immediately theretofore issuable and receivable upon the exchange of
the Rights, and in any such case appropriate provision will be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder to the end that the provisions of this Certificate (including, without
limitation, provisions for adjustments of the number of shares issuable upon the exchange of the Rights) will thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be possible, in relation to any shares of
stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exchange of the Rights. The Company will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale unless prior to or simultaneously with the
consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets assumes, by written instrument executed
and delivered to the Holder at its last address appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the
foregoing sentence, the Holder may be entitled to purchase. 

        2.3    Notice to Holder of Adjustment.    Whenever the number of shares issuable upon exchange of the Rights is
adjusted as herein provided, the Company will cause to be mailed to the Holder notice setting forth the adjusted number of shares issuable upon the exchange of the Right and showing in
reasonable detail the computation of the adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. 

3.    Prior Notice as to Certain Events.    In the event the Company pays any dividend payable in cash or stock upon any class of
its capital stock for which the Rights are then exchangeable or makes any distribution to the holders of such capital stock, then the Company will give prior written notice, by first class mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the address of such holder as shown on the books of Company, of the date on which (i) the books of Company will close or a record taken for such
dividend or distribution. Such notice will also specify the date as of which the holders of the capital stock of record will participate in said dividend or distribution. Such written notice will be
given not less than 20 days prior to the record date thereof. If the Company shall take any such action at a time at which the Rights have not yet become exchangeable, the Rights shall be
exchangeable during the 20 day period prior to the record date for such event in the manner described in Section 1.1(b) 

4.    Reservation of Common Stock.    The Company has duly reserved out of its authorized capital stock in an amount sufficient to
permit the exchange in full of the Rights and, if the Exchange Securities are expected to include instruments convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock, the full conversion or exchange
thereof. The Company will, at all times during the term of the Rights, reserve and keep available for issuance upon the exchange of the Rights and upon exchange or conversion of any Exchange
Securities so exercisable or convertible such number of its authorized but unissued shares of its capital stock as will be sufficient to permit such exchanges and/or conversions. Shares of capital
stock issuable on exchange of the Rights will, upon such issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. 

5.    No Voting Rights; Limitations of Liability.    The Rights do not confer upon the Holder any voting rights or other rights as a
stockholder of the Company, either at law or equity. 

6.    Restrictions on Transfer of Right.  

        (a)   The
Rights and the Holder's rights hereunder may not be transferred, assigned or subjected to a pledge or security interest without the prior written consent of the
Company and unless transferred by surrender of this Certificate with a valid written assignment thereof at the 

44

 

principal
office of the Company. If the Company determines that the proposed assignment is permitted pursuant to the provisions hereof and the requirements of applicable securities law, the Company
will register the assignment of the Rights in accordance with the information contained in the assignment and will, without charge, execute and deliver a new Right or Rights in the name of the
assignee or assignees named in such assignment instrument and the Rights will promptly be cancelled. As a condition to the transfer of the Rights, the Holder shall deliver to the Company an opinion of
counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company's counsel, to the effect that the proposed transfer will not be in violation of the Act or of any applicable state law. 

7.    Registration Rights.    The Exchange Securities are subject to registration rights as provided in Annex B to the Subscription
Agreement. 

8.    Miscellaneous.

        8.1    Waiver.    No delay or failure of the Holder in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy under this
Certificate will affect such right, power, privilege or remedy or be deemed to be a waiver of the same or any part thereof, nor will any single or partial exchange thereof or any failure to exchange
the same in any instance preclude any further or future exchange thereof, or the exchange of any other right, power, privilege or remedy. 

Notices.    All
notices, requests and consents hereunder must be in writing. Notices, requests and consents to the Company will be effectively given and delivered when (a) sent by
facsimile to the Company at (303) 285-5173 or (b) mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Company at its offices at 8120 Shaffer Parkway, Littleton, Colorado

the facsimile number or address of the Holder appearing on the books and records of the Company. Either party by notice to the other may from time to time change the facsimile number or address for
any such notice, request, or consent. 

        8.2    Governing Law; Venue.    The Rights and all rights and obligations hereunder, including matters of
construction, validity, and performance, will be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to the choice or conflicts of laws rules
of such state. The parties agree that venue for any suit, action, proceeding or litigation arising out of or in relation to this Certificate will be in any federal or state court in Multnomah County,
Oregon having subject matter jurisdiction, and hereby submit to the jurisdiction of that court. 

        8.3    Successors.    The Rights and the provisions of this Certificate will inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Rights may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the Company as set forth in
Section 6. 

        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, this Certificate has been executed and delivered by a duly authorized representative of the Company on the day and year first above written.
