DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANT
Section 2.01: Duration of Warrant. The Warrantholder may exercise this
Warrant at any time and from time to time before 5:00 P.M., Denver time, on the
Expiration Date. If this Warrant is not exercised on or before the Expiration
Date, it shall become void, and all rights hereunder shall thereupon cease.
Section 2.02: Exercise of Warrant.

with the Subscription Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied

(b) Upon receipt of this Warrant with the Subscription Form
fully executed and accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price for the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is then being
exercised, the Company shall cause to be issued certificates for the
total number of whole shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is

may place such stop transfer instructions and other transfer

new Warrant to the Warrantholder.
(d) The Company shall pay any and all stock transfer and
similar taxes which may be payable in respect of the issue of this
Warrant or in respect of the issue of any Warrant Shares.
Section 2.03: Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that, at
all times following the execution of this Warrant, it will reserve for issuance
and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock
or other shares of capital stock of the Company from time to time issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant. All such shares shall be duly authorized, and when
issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and
other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all preemptive
rights.
Section 2.04: Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to
issue any fraction of a share of its capital stock in connection with the
exercise of this Warrant, and in any case where the Warrantholder would, except
for the provisions of this Section 2.04, be entitled under the terms of this
Warrant to receive a fraction of a share upon the exercise of this Warrant, the
Company shall, upon the exercise of this Warrant and receipt of the Exercise
Price, issue the greatest number of whole shares purchasable upon exercise of
this Warrant for which payment in full of the Exercise Price has been received.
The Company shall not be required to make any cash or other adjustment in
respect of such fraction of a share to which the Warrantholder would otherwise
be entitled.
Section 2.05: Listing. Prior to the issuance of any shares of Common
Stock upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall secure the listing of
such shares of Common Stock upon each national securities exchange or automated
quotation systems, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed
(subject to official notice of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant) and shall
maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such
listing of all shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each national
securities exchange or automated quotation system, and shall maintain such

ARTICLE III
ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
PURCHASABLE AND EXERCISE PRICE
The Exercise Price and the number and kind of Warrant Shares shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as
provided in this Article III.
Section 3.01: Mechanical Adjustments.
(a) If at any time prior to the exercise of this Warrant in
full, the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution
on the Common Stock payable in shares of its Common Stock; (ii)
subdivide, reclassify or recapitalize the outstanding Common Stock into
a greater number of shares of Common Stock; (iii) combine, reclassify
or recapitalize its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue any shares of its
capital stock by reclassification of its Common Stock (including any
such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or a merger in
which the Company is the continuing corporation), the Exercise Price in
effect at the time of the record date of such dividend, distribution,
subdivision, combination, reclassification or recapitalization shall be
adjusted so that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the
aggregate number and kind of shares which, if this Warrant had been
exercised in full immediately prior to such event, he would have owned
upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such
dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination, reclassification or
recapitalization. Any adjustment required by this paragraph 3.01(a)
shall be made successively and become effective immediately after the
record date, in the case of a dividend or distribution, or the
effective date, in the case of a subdivision, combination,
reclassification or recapitalization, to allow the purchase of such
aggregate number and kind of shares.
(b) If at any time prior to the exercise of this Warrant in
full, the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance or making a
distribution to all holders of the Common Stock (including any such
distribution to be made in connection with a consolidation or merger in
which the Company is to be the continuing corporation) of evidences of
its indebtedness, any other securities of the Company or any cash,
property or other assets or securities, including without limitation
shares of a subsidiary's capital stock (excluding a common stock
dividend, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or issuance
referred to in Section 3.01(a)), regular cash dividends or cash
distributions in the ordinary course of business or subscription
rights, options or warrants for Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents (any such nonexcluded event being herein called a Special
Dividend), then, except as provided in paragraph 3.01(c), the Exercise
Price shall be decreased immediately after the record date for such
Special Dividend to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise
Price then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
then current market price of the Common Stock (as defined in Section
3.01(e)) on such record date less the fair market value (as determined
by the Company's Board of Directors) of the evidences
-5-
6
of indebtedness, securities or property, or other assets issued or
distributed in such Special Dividend applicable to one share of Common
Stock or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one
share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the then
current market price per share of Common Stock (as so determined). Any
adjustment required by this paragraph 3.01(b) shall be made
successively effective on the record date for the Special Dividend and
in the event that such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price
shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Price that was in effect
immediately prior to such record date.
(c) If at any time prior to the exercise of this Warrant in
full, the Company shall make a distribution to all holders of the
Common Stock of stock of a subsidiary or securities convertible into or
exercisable for such stock, then in lieu of an adjustment in the
Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant, each Warrantholder, upon the exercise hereof
at any time after such distribution, shall be entitled to receive from
the Company, such subsidiary or both, as the Company shall determine,
the stock or other securities to which such Warrantholder would have
been entitled if such Warrantholder had exercised this Warrant
immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as
provided in this Article III, and the Company shall reserve, for the
life of the Warrant, such securities of such subsidiary or other
corporation; provided, however, that no adjustment in respect of
dividends or interest of such stock or other securities shall be made
during the term of this Warrant or upon its exercise.
(d) Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of each
Warrant is adjusted pursuant to one or more of paragraphs (a), (b) and
(c) of this Section 3.01, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
payment of the Warrant Price shall simultaneously be adjusted by
multiplying the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of each
Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment by the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so
obtained by the Exercise Price, as adjusted.
(e) For the purpose of any computation under this Section
3.01, the current market price per share of Common Stock at any date
shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for 20
consecutive trading days commencing 30 trading days before such date.
The closing price for each day shall be the last sale price regular way
or, in case no such reported sales take place on such day, the average
of the last reported bid and asked prices regular way, in either case
on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock
is admitted to trading or listed, or if not listed or admitted to
trading on such exchange, the representative closing bid price as
reported by NASDAQ, or other similar organization if NASDAQ is no
longer reporting such information, or if not so available, the fair
market price as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
the Company.
(f) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required
unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at
least ten cents ($.10) in such price; provided, however, that any
adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (f) are not required to
be
-6-
7
made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. All calculations under this Section 3.01 shall be made to
the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the
case may be. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.01 to the
contrary, the Exercise Price shall not be reduced to less than the then
existing par value, if any, of the Common Stock as a result of any
adjustment made hereunder.
(g) In the event that at any time, as a result of any
adjustment made pursuant to Section 3.01(a), the Warrantholder
thereafter shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Company
other than Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so
receivable upon exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock
contained in Section 3.01(a).
(h) In the case of an issue of additional Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents for cash, the consideration received by the
Company therefor, without deducting therefrom any discount or
commission or other expenses paid by the Company for any underwriting
of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance thereof, shall be
deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefor. To the extent
that such issuance shall be for a consideration other than cash, then,
except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the amounts of such
consideration shall be deemed to be the fair value of such
consideration at the time of such issuance as reasonably determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. The term issue
shall include the sale or other disposition of shares held by or on
account of the Company or in the treasury of the Company, but until so
sold or otherwise disposed of such shares shall not be deemed
outstanding.
Section 3.02: Notices of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant
Shares or the Exercise Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall
prepare and deliver forthwith to the Warrantholder a certificate signed by its
President, and by any Vice President, Treasurer or Secretary, setting forth the
adjusted number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the
Exercise Price of such shares after such adjustment, setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the
computation by which adjustment was made. The certificate of any independent
firm of public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Board of
Directors of the Company shall be conclusive evidence of the arithmetic
correctness of any computation made under this Section 3.
Section 3.03: No Adjustment for Dividends. Except as provided in
Section 3.01 of this Agreement, no adjustment in respect of any cash dividends
shall be made during the term of this Warrant or upon the exercise of this
Warrant.
Section 3.04: Preservation of Purchase Rights in Certain Transactions.
In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another
Person (other than a merger with a subsidiary in which the Company is the
continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification, capital
reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in case
of any sale, lease, transfer or conveyance to another corporation of the
property and assets
-7-
8
of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Company
shall, as a condition to such transaction cause such successor or purchasing
corporation, as the case may be, to execute with the Warrantholder an agreement
granting the Warrantholder the right thereafter, upon payment of the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such transaction, to receive upon exercise
of this Warrant the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property
which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive as a result of such
transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such action.
Such agreement shall provide for adjustments in respect of such shares of stock
and other securities and property, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article III and shall
provide that such rights may be exercised at any time prior to the Expiration
Date. In the event that in connection with any such transaction, additional
shares of Common Stock shall be issued in exchange, conversion, substitution or
payment, in whole or in part, for, or of, a security of the Company other than
Common Stock, any such issue shall be treated as an issue of Common Stock
covered by the provisions of Article III. The provisions of this Section 3.04
shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations,
consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyance.
Section 3.05: Form of Warrant After Adjustments. The form of this
Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or
the number or kind of the Warrant Shares, and Warrants theretofore or thereafter
issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as
are stated in the Warrant, as initially issued.
Section 3.06: Treatment of Warrantholder. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of this Warrant, the Company may deem and treat the
Warrantholder as the absolute owner of this Warrant (notwithstanding any
notation of ownership or other writing hereon) for all purposes and shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
ARTICLE IV
OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO
RIGHTS OF WARRANTHOLDER
Section 4.01: No Rights as Shareholders: Notice to Warrantholders.
Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the
Warrantholder or his or its transferees the right to vote or to receive
dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any
meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or of any
other matter, or any rights whatsoever as shareholders of the Company. The
Company shall give notice to the Warrantholder by registered mail if at any time
prior to the expiration or exercise in full of the Warrants, any of the
following events shall occur:
(a) the Company shall authorize the payment of any dividend to
all holders of Common Stock;
(b) the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of
Common Stock of any additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock

or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents or of any other subscription rights, options or warrant;
(c) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;
or
(d) a capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common
Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding
Common Stock) or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or
into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which
the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in
any reclassification or change of Common Stock outstanding) or in the
case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property
of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety.
Such giving of notice shall be completed at least 15 Business Days prior to the
date fixed as a record date or effective date or the date of closing of the
Company's stock transfer books for the determination of the shareholders
entitled to such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights, or for the
determination of the shareholders entitled to vote on such proposed merger,
consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such
notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the stock transfer
books, as the case may be. Failure to provide such notice shall not affect the
validity of any action taken in connection with such dividend, distribution or
subscription rights, or proposed merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
Section 4.02: Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrants. If this
Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, upon receipt
by the Company of evidence of ownership reasonably satisfactory to it and on
such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may in its discretion impose
(which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender
thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as, and in
substitution for, this Warrant.
Section 4.03: Split-Up, Combination, Exchange and Transfer of Warrants.
This Warrant may be split up, combined or exchanged for another Warrant or
Warrants containing the same terms to purchase a like aggregate number of
Warrant Shares. If the Warrantholder desires to split up, combine or exchange
this Warrant, he or it shall make such request in writing delivered to the
Company and shall surrender to the Company this Warrant and any other Warrants
to be so split-up, combined or exchanged. Upon any such surrender for a
split-up, combination or exchange, the Company shall execute and deliver to the
person entitled thereto a Warrant or Warrants, as the case may be, as so
requested. The Company shall not be required to effect any split-up, combination
or exchange which will result in the issuance of a Warrant entitling the
Warrantholder to purchase upon exercise a fraction of a share of Common Stock or
a fractional Warrant.
Section 4.04: Registration Rights. The Warrant Shares, once issued, are
subject to the rights and benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement
pertaining to the Warrant Shares, between the Company and Warrantholder;
provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in such Registration Rights
Agreement to the contrary, the Company hereby consents to the transfer of the
registration
-9-
10
rights contained therein with respect to the Warrant Shares to the extent that
transfers of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares are permitted hereunder.
Section 4.05: Redemption. This Warrant may be redeemed by the Company
at any time after sixty (60) days from the date of its original issuance and
prior to the Expiration Date upon at least thirty (30) days' written notice (the
"Notice of Redemption") to the holder of this Warrant for $.05 per Warrant Share
if the closing high bid quotation of the Company's common stock exceeds one
hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Exercise Price for a period of twenty (20)
consecutive trading days immediately preceding the mailing by the Company of the
Notice of Redemption. The Company agrees not to give a Notice of Redemption
unless the shares of common stock underlying the Warrant are included in a
registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that is
then effective. The Notice of Redemption shall be sent to the last known address
of the Holder of this Warrant as maintained on the books and records of the
Company. The redemption date shall be fixed in the Notice of Redemption and
shall be not earlier than thirty (30) days after the date of mailing of the
Notice of Redemption. Upon receipt of a Notice of Redemption, the Holder of this
Warrant may exercise this Warrant to the extent of the number of Warrant Shares
called for redemption until the last business day prior to the redemption date.
A "business day" shall mean any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on
which banks are required or authorized to be closed in the City of Denver or the
State of Colorado. If on the redemption date the Company shall have paid the
redemption price or shall have reserved and set apart an amount sufficient to
pay the redemption price, then this Warrant shall expire to the extent of the
number of Warrant Shares called for redemption pursuant to the Notice of
Redemption. Warrants called for redemption in whole or in part shall be tendered
to the Company on or before the redemption date. The redemption price shall be
paid to the Warrantholder within three (3) business days after the redemption
date, and shall be delivered by check sent to the last known address of the
warrant holder maintained on the books and records of the Company.
