Tracker understands that, except as set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, the Shares, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares, the Reserved Series A Shares and the Conversion Shares will not be registered under the Act, on the ground that the sale provided for in this Agreement is exempt from registration under the Act, and that the reliance of the Company on such exemption is predicated in part on Tracker's representations set forth in this Agreement. Tracker understands that the Shares, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares, the Reserved Series A Shares and the Conversion Shares being purchased hereunder are restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act and that the Shares, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares, the Reserved Series A Shares and the Conversion Shares are not registered (and will not be registered other than in accordance with this Agreement) and must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered or an exemption from such registration is available. 4.6. Restrictive Legends. It is understood that each certificate representing (a) the Shares, (b) the Warrants, (c) the Warrant Shares, (d) the Reserved Series A Shares, (e) the Conversion Shares, and (f) any other securities issued in respect of any of the foregoing upon any stock split, stock dividend, payment in kind dividend, recapitalization, merger or similar event shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form: THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS 11 OF ANY STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. 4.7 Removal of Restrictive Legend. The legend set forth above shall be removed by the Company from any certificate evidencing Shares, the Warrants, the Reserved Series A Shares, the Warrant Shares or Conversion Shares upon delivery to the Company of an opinion by counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that a registration statement under the Act is at that time in effect with respect to the legended security or that such security can be freely transferred in a public sale without such a registration statement being in effect and that such transfer will not jeopardize the exemption or exemptions from registration pursuant to which the Company issued the Shares, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares, the Reserved Series A Shares or Conversion Shares. 4.8 Status of Tracker. Tracker represents and warrants to the Company that it is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. 4.9 Acknowledgment. Tracker acknowledges that it has been advised by the Company that in the event the Brunswick Note is not paid off in full in accordance with the Prepayment Notice issued by the Company to Brunswick, such event could constitute a default under the Brunswick Note and the loan agreements of the Company with DFS and Transamerica. 5. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company covenants to Tracker as follows: 5.1 Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the proceeds (a) from the sale of the Shares and the Warrants, to finance working capital requirements and fund other general corporate purposes, other than the repayment of any outstanding securities of the Company (except when using such funds in accordance with subclause (b) of this Section 5.1), and (b) from the exercise of the Warrants as directed in any Notice of Exercise (as such term is defined in the Warrant Agreement); provided that, prior to June 11, 2002, the Company shall apply all of such Warrant proceeds towards the prepayment of the Brunswick Note and shall pay out of its own funds, which may include the proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Series A Preferred and Warrants, all interest accrued thereon, the prepayment premium and any other expenses, fees or other charges resulting from or required for such prepayment of the Brunswick Note. 5.2 Line of Business. For so long as at least 10,000 shares of Series A Stock remain outstanding, the Company will not discontinue any existing material line of business. 5.3 No Impairment. The Company will not enter into any agreement which would impair the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Statement of Designations or the Warrants. 5.4 Operation of the Business. Between the date hereof and the Second Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company will operate its business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and, to the extent consistent therewith, with no less diligence and effort than would be applied in the absence of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the Second Closing the Company will, and will cause each Subsidiary to: 12 (a) not change its accounting policies or procedures; (b) not acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial equity interest in or a substantial portion of the assets of, or by any other manner, any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof; (c) not sell, lease, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or agree to sell, lease (whether such lease is an operating or capital lease), encumber or otherwise dispose of, any of its assets other than dispositions in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice which are not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and except for any other such transactions that are on market terms and that involve aggregate consideration of less than $500,000; (d) not authorize, recommend, propose or announce an intention to adopt a plan of complete or partial liquidation or dissolution of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or amend its Articles of Incorporation or bylaws except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement; and (e) not, without the prior written consent of Tracker, grant any stock options or other stock-based compensation to any person, including, without limitation, stock option grants to the Company's employees under any existing stock option plan of the Company. 5.5 Access. Between the date hereof and the earlier of termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms and the Second Closing, the Company shall give Tracker and its authorized employees and representatives reasonable access to the employees, plants, offices, warehouses, and other facilities, to (and where necessary, provide copies of) the books and records, contracts and personnel files of current employees of the business as Tracker may reasonably require, and will cause its officers to furnish Tracker with such financial and operating data and other information with respect to the business and properties of the Company as Tracker may from time to time reasonably request. The Company and Tracker intend that, to the extent the attorney work-product privilege, attorney-client privilege, or without limitation, any other privilege or privileges applies or may apply to any confidential information, including confidential information obtained pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence or obtained in this Agreement or in the Company Letter, disclosure of such confidential information will not result in a loss of the privilege(s) in question. 5.6 Shareholder Approval. The Company shall obtain as soon as reasonably practicable and prior to Second Closing but in no case in excess of 60 days from the date of this Agreement, any shareholder approval required by the listing requirements of the Nasdaq or otherwise required. 5.7 Listing of Shares. The Company will list prior to Second Closing, subject to official notice of issuance, and keep listed on the Nasdaq all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Stock for so long as the Common Stock continues to be so listed. 5.8. No Additional Series A Stock. The Company will not issue any shares of Series A Stock other than pursuant to this Agreement, upon exercise of the Warrants or as an interest payment pursuant to the Statement of Designations. 13 5.9. Right of Participation. For so long as Tracker, collectively with its Affiliates, holds at least 10,000 shares of Series A Stock, Tracker shall have the right to purchase up to its Pro Rata Share of any New Securities that the Company may from time to time issue after the date of this Agreement. In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities (in a single transaction or a series of related transactions), it shall give to Tracker written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the "Participation Notice"), describing the amount and the type of New Securities and the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities. Tracker shall have until the later of (a) twenty (20) business days from the date of receipt of any such Participation Notice, or (b) the date of issuance of such New Securities, to agree in writing to purchase its Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Participation Notice by giving written notice to the Company of such agreement. Tracker's purchase of its Pro Rata Share of such New Securities shall be effected concurrently with the closing of the transaction giving rise to the Participation Notice. 5.10. Composition of Board. In connection with the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred to elect up to three (3) directors to the Board of Directors of the Company and to appoint a proportional number of directors to any committee of the Board of Directors as set forth in the Statement of Designations, the Company shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to ensure that such holders may exercise such rights, including without limitation, securing the resignation of one or more directors (other than a director elected by the holders of the Series A Preferred) and causing an increase to the size of board if and to the extent such actions are required. 5.11. Increase in Preferred Designation. The Company shall take such action as may be required to ensure that the Company has authorized a sufficient number of Series A Preferred to permit the exercise of the Warrant and the payment of dividends in the form of Series A Preferred. 5.12. Notification. Between the date of this Agreement and the Second Closing Date, the Company will promptly notify Tracker in writing if the Company becomes aware of any fact or condition that causes or constitutes a breach of any of the Company' representations and warranties as of the date of this Agreement, or if the Company becomes aware of the occurrence after the date of this Agreement of any fact or condition that would (except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) cause or constitute a breach of any such representation or warranty had such representation or warranty been made as of the time of occurrence or discovery of such fact or condition. Should any such fact or condition require any change in the Company Letter if the Company Letter were dated the date of the occurrence or discovery of any such fact or condition, the Company will promptly deliver to Tracker a supplement to the Company Letter specifying such change; provided, however, that such supplement shall not act to cure any such breach. During the same period, the Company will promptly notify Tracker of the occurrence of any breach of any covenant of the Company in this Agreement or of the occurrence of any event that may make the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 7 impossible or unlikely. 5.13 Observation Right. The Company covenants that, for the ninety (90) day period beginning on the date of this Agreement, Tracker shall have the right to have one (1) representative attend, in a nonvoting observer capacity, all meetings of the Company's Board of Directors and each standing committee and newly formed committee (whether held in person or via telephone conference). The representative shall be invited to participate in all discussions of matters brought to the Board of Directors and any such committee, and shall be provided with minutes, consents and other materials, financial and otherwise, which the Company provides to its Board and each such committee, such copies to be delivered to the address specified by such representative. The Company shall give such representative written notice of any meeting of the 14 Company's Board of Directors and each such committee simultaneously with that given to the Board of Directors and each such committee such that Tracker will be able to exercise effectively the rights granted by this Section 5.13. The Company shall give such representative copies of any written actions by consent of the Company's Board of Directors and each such committee. 6. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. 6.1 Demand Registrations. (a) Request by Holders. If the Company shall receive a written request from a Holder that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6.1, then the Company shall, within 10 business days of the receipt of such written request, give written notice of such request ("Request Notice") to all Holders, and use its best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that Holders request to be registered and included in such registration by written notice given such Holders to the Company within 20 days after receipt of the Request Notice, subject only to the limitations of this Section 6.1; provided that the Registrable Securities requested by all Holders to be registered pursuant to such request must be at least 25% of the Registrable Securities Then Outstanding; and provided further that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration if the Company has, within the six month period preceding the date of such request, already effected a registration under the Securities Act pursuant to this Section 6.1, or in which the Holders had an opportunity to participate pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2, other than a registration from which the Registrable Securities of Holders have been excluded (with respect to all or any portion of the Registrable Securities the Holders requested be included in such registration) pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2(a). Any registration under this Section 6.1 shall, if requested in the Request Notice, be effected pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act (or its successor) on a continuous basis for the period requested. (b) Underwriting. If the Holders initiating the registration request under this Section 6.1 ("Initiating Holders") intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, then they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 6.1 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 6.1(a). In such event, the right of any Holder to include Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. Each Holder proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities and reasonably acceptable to the Company, but shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreement with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder and such Holder's intended method of distribution and any other representation or warranties required by law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, if the underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be reduced as required by the underwriter(s) and allocated among the Holders of Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis according to the number of Registrable Securities then outstanding held by each Holder requesting registration under this Section 6.1 (including the initiating Holders); 15 provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be reduced unless (i) all Registrable Securities held by Holders requesting registration under Section 6.2 are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder; and (ii) all other securities of the Company are then entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration. To avoid the consequences of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, a Holder must be exercising a demand pursuant to this Section 6.1, even if other Holders are also exercising a demand hereunder. Any Registrable Securities excluded and withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration. If any such registration, as a result of a reduction at the request of an underwriter, does not include at least 25% of the Registrable Securities Then Outstanding, such registration shall not constitute a demand for purposes of Section 6.1(c). (c) Maximum Number of Demand Registrations. The Company shall be obligated to effect two such demand registrations pursuant to this Section 6.1. (d) Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 6.1, a certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to be filed, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than 90 days after receipt of the request of the initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any 12 month period. (e) Expenses. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to this Section 6.1, shall be borne by the Company. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall bear such Holder's proportionate share (based on the total number of shares sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company) of all discounts, commissions or other amounts payable to underwriter(s) or brokers in connection with such offering by the Holders. 6.2 Piggyback Registrations. (a) Notice by Company. The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least 20 days prior to filing any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder shall within 10 days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. 16 (b) Underwriting. If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 6.2 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder's Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. Each Holder proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting, but shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreement with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder and such Holder's intended method of distribution and any other representation or warranties required by law.. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For any Holder that is a partnership, the Holder and the partners and retired partners of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons, and for any Holder that is a corporation, the Holder and all corporations that are affiliates of such Holder, shall be deemed to be a single "Holder," and any pro rata reduction with respect to such "Holder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such "Holder," as defined in this sentence. (c) Limitation on Inclusion of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if Holders desire to include Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 6.2(a) in a primary registration on behalf of the Company and, if such registration does not relate to an underwritten offering, the Company reasonably determines in good faith that, or if such registration relates to an underwritten offering, the managing underwriter(s) reasonably determine(s) in good faith that, marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be included in such registration, then the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell and (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration and any other securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among all the holders requesting inclusion in such registration on the basis of the number of securities requested for inclusion in such registration by each such holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if Holders desire to include Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 6.2(a) in a secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company's securities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, and, if such registration does not relate to an underwritten offering, the such other holders reasonably determine in good faith that, or if such registration relates to an underwritten offering, the managing underwriter(s) reasonably determine(s) in good faith that, marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be included in such registration, then the Company shall include in such registration the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration and any other securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among all the holders requesting inclusion in such registration on the basis of the number of securities requested for inclusion in such registration by each such holder. (d) Expenses. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to this Section 6.2, shall be borne by the Company. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall bear such Holder's proportionate share (based on the total number of shares sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company) of all discounts, commissions or other amounts payable to underwriter(s) or broker(s) in connection with such offering by the Holders. 17 (e) Not Demand Registration. Registration pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in Section 6.1 above. There shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 6.2. 6.3 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible: (a) Registration Statement. Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and to keep such Registration Statement effective until the last to occur of (i) the sale or other distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement in accordance with the intended methods of distribution thereof, (ii) the expiration of all periods during which transactions in Registrable Securities by a dealer are not exempt from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(3) of the Securities Act or during which any dealer is obligated under the Securities Act to deliver a prospectus in connection with transactions involving Registrable Securities, and (iii) the expiration of all other periods, if any, during which the Registration Statement is required to remain effective in order to avoid a violation of applicable law by any Investor or the Company related to the sale or other distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement in accordance with the intended methods of distribution thereof; provided however that the Company shall not be required to keep a Registration Statement effective for more than 120 days; provided further, that the Holders may request that the Company grant extensions to such 120-day period and the Company shall not unreasonably deny such request. (b) Amendments and Supplements. Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement. (c) Prospectuses. Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by them that are included in such registration. (d) Blue Sky. Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions. (e) Customary Agreements. Enter into customary agreements (including, in the case of an underwritten offering, an underwriting agreement in customary form); make such representations and warranties to any underwriters, brokers, dealers, placement agents and other Persons involved in the distribution to any underwriters, brokers, dealers, placement agents and other persons involved in the distribution of the Registrable Shares included in such Registration Statement as in form, substance and scope are customarily made by issuers in similar circumstances or which may be reasonably requested. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement. 18 (f) Notification. Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. In addition, the Company shall promptly notify each Holder and each underwriter, broker, dealer and placement agent participating in any offering or sale or other distribution of securities covered by such Registration Statement of the issuance or threatened issuance of any order suspending the registration or qualification of any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement for disposition in any jurisdiction; use its reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any such threatened order and, if any such order is issued, use its best efforts to obtain the lifting or withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible moment and promptly notify each Holder and each such underwriter, broker, dealer and placement agent of any lifting or withdrawal. (g) Opinion and Comfort Letter. Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriter(s) for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a "comfort" letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities. (h) Additional Actions. Take all other actions which are reasonably necessary or which may be reasonably requested by the majority of selling Holders or any underwriter, broker, dealer or placement agent participating in any offering or sale or other distribution of securities covered by such Registration Statement to effect the registration and qualification of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement and to facilitate the disposition thereof in accordance with the respective plans of distribution of the selling Holders. 6.4 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 6.1 or 6.2 that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to timely effect the Registration of their Registrable Securities. 6.5 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 6.1 or 6.2: (a) By the Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, officers and directors of each Holder, any underwriter (as determined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or 19 state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any federal or state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement; and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, partner, officer or director, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.5(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder. (b) By Selling Holders. To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder's partners, directors or officers or any person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, partner or director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action: provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.5(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, that the total amounts payable in indemnity by a Holder under this Section 6.5(b) in respect of any Violation shall not exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which such Violation arises. 20 (c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6.5 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6.5, 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 the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnified and indemnifying parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 6.5 to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result thereof, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnified party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6.5. (d) Defect Eliminated in Final Prospectus. The foregoing indemnity agreements of the Company and Holders are subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any Violation made in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the registration statement in question becomes effective or in the amended prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to SEC Rule 424(b) (the "Final Prospectus"), such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any person if a copy of the Final Prospectus was timely furnished to the indemnified party, was not furnished to the person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act, and the furnishing of such Final Prospectus as so required would have eliminated liabilities under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. (e) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any Holder exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling person of any such Holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.5, but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 6.5 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling Holder or any such controlling person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 6.5; then, and in each such case, the Company and such Holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the selling Holders on the other hand, from the offering of the Registered Securities, but also the relative fault of the Company and the selling Holders in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such claim as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that, in any such case: (A) no such Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 21 (f) Survival.

The Company shall have no obligations pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 with respect to any Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder in a registration pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.2 if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, all such Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder may then be sold under Rule 144 in a single transaction without exceeding the applicable volume limitations thereunder, or can otherwise be sold without registration in a brokers transaction under the Securities Act on the Nasdaq and the unqualified written opinion of such counsel to such effect is delivered to such Holder. 6.7 No Registration Rights to Third Parties.

If there is any dispute between the parties which the parties to this Agreement are unable to resolve themselves with regard to the application, interpretation or validity of this Agreement, 26 all parties agree that the exclusive remedy for determining any such dispute, regardless of its nature, will be by arbitration in accordance with the then most applicable Commercial Arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. The location of such arbitration shall be Denver, Colorado, or such other location as the parties hereto may agree. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, the parties shall select a single arbitrator from a list designated by the Denver, Colorado office of the American Arbitration Association of nine arbitrators all of whom shall be retired judges who have had experience in corporate law and who are actively involved in hearing private cases. If the parties are unable to select an arbitrator from the list provided by the American Arbitration Association, then the parties shall each strike names alternatively from the list, with the first to strike being determined by lot. After each party has used four strikes, the remaining name on the list shall be the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall apply the same substantive law as would be applied by a court having jurisdiction over the parties and their dispute and the remedial authority of the arbitrator shall be the same as, but no greater than, would be the remedial power of a court having jurisdiction over the parties and their dispute. Discovery may be undertaken by any party. Any dispute with regard to the scope or necessity for any discovery shall be determined by the arbitrator in the arbitrator's discretion. In the event of a conflict between the then most-applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association and these procedures, the provisions of these procedures shall govern. Each party may be represented by counsel and shall be responsible for the costs and fees of its counsel. Any filing or administrative fees shall be borne by the party incurring such fees. The fees and costs of the arbitrator shall be borne equally between the parties. The prevailing party in such arbitration proceeding, as determined by the arbitrator, and in any enforcement or other court proceedings, shall be entitled to reimbursement from the other party for all of the prevailing party's costs (including but not limited to the arbitrator's compensation), expenses and attorneys' fees. The arbitrator shall render an award and brief opinion explaining the basis of the award and the award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties. All awards may be filed with the Clerk of the District Court in St. Louis, MO or Austin, TX, as a basis for declaratory or other judgment and of the issuance of execution and, at the election of the party making such filing, with the clerk of one or more courts, state or federal, having jurisdiction over the party against whom such an award is rendered or its property. If any of the provisions of this paragraph are determined to be unlawful or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, such determination shall not affect the validity of the remainder of these provisions and this paragraph shall be reformed to the extent necessary to insure that all disputes within the scope of this Agreement shall be resolved by neutral, binding arbitration. 27 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and year herein above first written.
