any Securities for any minimum or other specific term, and reserves the right to
dispose of such Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a
registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act.

"accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.
SECTION 2.3 RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS. Such Purchaser understands that

securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and

warranties, agreements, acknowledgments, and understandings of such Purchaser
set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and
the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire such Securities.
SECTION 2.4 INFORMATION. Such Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have
been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances, and
operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the
Securities, which have been requested by such Purchaser. Such Purchaser and
its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the
Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations
conducted by such Purchaser or its advisors, if any, or its representatives
shall modify, amend, or affect such Purchaser's right to rely on the Company's
representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below. Such Purchaser
understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of
risk. Such Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal, and tax advice as it
has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to
its acquisition of the Securities.

United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental

Securities, or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities,
nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of
the Securities.
SECTION 2.6 TRANSFER OR RESALE. Such Purchaser understands that EXCEPT
as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement:

(i) subsequently registered thereunder;
-3-

an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the
effect that such securities to be sold, assigned, or transferred
may be sold, assigned, or transferred pursuant to an exemption

assurance that such securities can be sold, assigned, or
transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or promulgated under the 1933 Act
(or a successor rule thereto);

promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule thereto) ("RULE 144")
may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if
Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of such securities under
circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is
made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the
0000 Xxx) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933
Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and
(c) neither the Company nor any other person is under any
obligation to register such securities under the 1933 Act or any state
securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any
exemption thereunder.
SECTION 2.7 LEGENDS. Such Purchaser understands that the certificates
or other instruments representing the Purchased Common Shares and, if and when
issued until such time as the sale of the Repricing Shares have been registered
under the 1933 Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the
stock certificates representing the Repricing Shares shall bear a restrictive
legend in substantially the following form (and a stop transfer order may be
placed against transfer of such stock certificates):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN
ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD,
TRANSFERRED, OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID
ACT.
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a
certificate without such legend to the holder of the Securities upon which it is
stamped, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (a) the sale of
the Purchased Common Shares and the Repricing Shares is registered under the
1933 Act, (b) in connection with a sale transaction, such holder provides the
Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the
effect that a public sale, assignment, or transfer of the Securities may be made
without registration under the 1933 Act, or (c) such holder provides the Company
with reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144
without any restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a
particular date that can then be immediately sold.

and validly authorized, executed, and delivered on behalf of such Purchaser and
is a valid and binding agreement of such Purchaser enforceable in accordance
with its terms, subject as to enforceability to general principles of equity and

exemption for the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing
pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or "BLUE SKY" laws of
the respective states of the United States applicable to each Purchaser, and
shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Purchasers on or
prior to the Closing Date.
SECTION 4.3 REPORTING STATUS. Until the earlier of (a) the date as
of which the Purchasers (as that term is defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) may sell all of the Repricing Shares without restriction pursuant
to Rule l44(k) promulgated under the 1933 Act (or successor thereto), or (b)
the date on which (i) the Purchasers shall have sold all the Repricing Shares

"REGISTRATION PERIOD"), the Company shall file all reports required to be
filed with the SEC pursuant to the 0000 Xxx. The Company shall not terminate

the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would otherwise permit
such termination.
SECTION 4.4 USE OF PROCEEDS. The Company will use the proceeds from
the sale of the Purchased Common Shares for substantially the same purposes
and in substantially the same amounts as indicated in Section 4.4 of the
Disclosure Schedule.
SECTION 4.5 FINANCIAL INFORMATION. The Company agrees to send the
following to each Purchaser during the Registration Period and while a
Registration Statement with respect to the Securities is in effect: (a)
within five (5) days after the filing thereof with the SEC, a copy of its
Annual Reports on Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, any Current

the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving

financial information and data with respect to the Company as Purchaser may

of the Repricing Shares upon each national securities exchange or automated
quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed
(subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain, so long as any
other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all
Purchased Common Shares and Repricing Shares from time to time issuable under
the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company shall maintain

for by the Company at the First Closing, and the legal fees
-11-
and expenses for all subsequent Closings (not to exceed $4,000 in legal fees
plus all expenses for the Second Closing and $2,500 for each subsequent

Transaction Fees are fixed at this level based upon Augsback's counsel
providing all documents necessary for a given Transaction, and receiving a
level of comments to these documents that do not require extensive
negotiations or redrafting. However, should such counsel encounter any
situation requiring extensive negotiation or redrafting of documents (for
example if, after a first closing, substantial comments are received from the
issuer or an investor or substantial revisions are required for a subsequent
Closing), the fee limits discussed above would not apply and the fees in such
case would be substantially based upon such firm's hourly rates for those
attorneys and Firm personnel performing work on that Closing.
SECTION 4.8 AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, RESERVATION OF
SHARES. The Company shall at all times, so long as any of the Repricing
Warrants are outstanding and subject to conversion, reserve and keep

remain outstanding, the Company shall not directly or indirectly consummate
any merger, reorganization, restructuring, consolidation, sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets, or any similar transaction or
related transactions (each such transaction, a "SALE OF THE COMPANY") except
if the surviving or successor entity in such transaction (a) expressly
assumes, in writing, the Company's obligations hereunder and under the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Repricing Warrants, and any other
agreements and instruments entered into or delivered by the Company in
connection herewith and (b) is a publicly traded corporation whose Common
Stock is listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the
American Stock Exchange, or the NASDAQ National Market.
SECTION 4.10 TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. So long as (a) any

with a market value equal to or greater than $200,000, the Company shall not,
and shall cause each of its subsidiaries not to, enter into, amend, modify,

supplement any agreement, transaction, commitment, or arrangement with any of
its or any subsidiary's officers, directors, persons who were officers or
directors at any time during the previous two years, stockholders who
beneficially own 5% or more of the Common Stock or affiliates, or with any
individual related by blood, marriage, or adoption to any such individual or
with any entity in which any such entity or individual owns a 5% or more
beneficial interest (each a "RELATED PARTY"), except for (i) customary
employment arrangements and benefit programs on reasonable terms, (ii) any
agreement, transaction, commitment, or arrangement on an arms-length basis on
terms no less favorable than terms which would have been obtainable from a
person other than such Related Party, (iii) any agreement, transaction,
commitment, or arrangement which is approved by a majority of the

that person or entity, or (4) share common control with that person or
entity. "CONTROL" or "CONTROLS" for
-12-
purposes hereof means that a person or entity has the power, direct or
indirect, to conduct or govern the policies of another person or entity.
SECTION 4.11 TRANSFER AGENTS. The Company covenants and agrees that,
in the event that the Company's agency relationship with the transfer agent
should be terminated for any reason prior to a date which is two (2) years

agent and shall require that the transfer agent execute and agree to be bound
by the terms of the Irrevocable Instructions to Transfer Agent.
SECTION 4.12 SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. The Company covenants to submit
to its shareholders at its next shareholder meeting a proposal for
ratification of the issuance of the Securities, if and as required by the

certificates, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its respective
nominee(s), for the Repricing Shares in such amounts as specified from time
to time by the Purchaser to the Company upon conversion of the Repricing
Warrants, except as provided in Section 4.11 herein. Prior to registration
of the Purchased Common Shares and Repricing Shares under the 1933 Act, all
such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2.7
of this Agreement. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the
Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 4.13, and
stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2.6 hereof (in the case
of the Repricing Shares, prior to registration of such shares under the 0000
Xxx) will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the
Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of
the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement. Nothing in this Section 4.13 shall affect in
any way the Purchaser's obligations and agreement to comply with all
applicable securities laws upon resale of the Purchased Common Shares or
Repricing Shares. If the Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of
counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form, and substance to the Company, that
registration of a resale by any Purchaser of any of the Purchased Common
Shares or Repricing Shares is not required under the 1933 Act, the Company
shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Repricing Shares, promptly
instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name
and in such denominations as specified by such Purchaser. The Company
acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause
irreparable harm to Purchasers by vitiating the intent and purpose of the
transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that
the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 4.13
will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach
by the Company of the provisions of this Section 4.13, that Purchasers shall
be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without
the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security
being required.

a three-member panel of the American Arbitration Association in accordance
with the commercial arbitration rules of said forum and the Federal
Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 1 ET SEQ., with the resulting award being final and
conclusive. Said arbitrators shall be empowered to award all forms of relief
and damages claimed, including, but not limited to, attorney's fees, expenses
of litigation and arbitration, exemplary damages, and pre-judgment interest.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may at any time and at its option,
whether or not an arbitration action is then pending, initiate a civil action
for temporary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief against
Company. Company acknowledges that upon any breach of Purchaser's conversion
rights hereunder, Purchaser's resulting injury may not be adequately
compensated by a remedy at law. Accordingly, upon such breach, Purchaser, at
its election and without limitation of its other remedies, shall be entitled
to pursue a claim for specific performance of this Agreement, and Company
hereby waives the right to assert any defense thereto that Purchaser has an
adequate remedy at law. The parties further agree that any arbitration
action between them shall be heard in Littleton, Colorado, and expressly
consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the Superior Court of Arapahoe
County, Colorado, and the United States District Court for the District of
Colorado, Denver Division, for the adjudication of any civil action asserted
pursuant to this Paragraph.

more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the
same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed
by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event any signature
page is delivered by facsimile transmission, the party using such means of
delivery shall cause four (4) additional original executed signature pages to
be physically delivered to the other party within five (5) days of the
execution and delivery hereof.
SECTION 8.3 HEADINGS. The headings of this Agreement are for
convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the
interpretation of, this Agreement.
SECTION 8.4 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement shall
be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or
enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
