Explanatory Note

This Registration Statement contains two prospectuses.

The first prospectus forming a part of this Registration Statement is to be used in connection with the underwritten public offering of 1,500,000 units offered at $5.10 per unit.  Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one half (1/2) common stock purchase warrant to acquire one share of common stock for $5.00 per share for a period of one year . A total of 1,500,000 units are being offered by the Company. The units will not trade separately.  A selling stockholder has agreed to sell 200,000 shares of common stock and reserve another 100,000 shares for sale to cover a portion of the Underwriter’s over-allotment option of 225,000 Units.   

Accordingly, the registrant is registering 2,587,500 shares of common stock underlying the 1,725,000 units of common stock and warrants which includes 225,000 units subject to our Underwriter’s overallotment option. The registrant is also registering 862,500 warrants underlying the units. The common stock and warrants underlying the units will be listed and traded separately as more fully disclosed in the first prospectus. The first prospectus immediately follows this explanatory note.

The second prospectus forming a part of this Registration Statement is to be used by stockholders of the registrant in connection with the resale of up to 1,450,000 shares of common stock and up to 6,460,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the automatic conversion of our Series A, B, and C Preferred Stock upon the effectiveness of this offering.

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS                                                            Subject to completion, dated ____________

Heatwurx, Inc.

1,500,000 Units

$5.10 per Unit

This is the initial public offering of Heatwurx, Inc.  Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one half (1/2) common stock purchase warrant which may be exercised to purchase one share of our common stock at $5.00 per share for a period of one year.  A total of 1,500,000 units are being offered by the Company. No public market currently exists for our common stock or warrants.  We anticipate that the initial public offering price will be $5.10 per unit.  The units will not trade separately as units.  

A selling stockholder has agreed to sell 200,000 shares of common stock and reserve another 100,000 shares for sale to cover a portion of the Underwriter’s over-allotment option of 225,000 Units.  We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of 200,000 units offered by a selling stockholder, nor from the exercise of warrants underlying these units.

We have also registered by separate prospectus the resale by our existing stockholders 1,450,000 shares of common stock and up to 6,460,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of 2,860,000 shares of Series A, B and C Preferred Stock.  Resale shares owned by officers and directors and by one common stockholder are subject to a 13 month lockup.  See “Underwriting.”

We have applied to list our common stock and $5.00 warrants for quotation on the NYSE MKT Exchange under the proposed symbols of “___” and “____,” respectively.

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined under the federal securities laws and are subject to reduced public reporting requirements.

Investing in our common stock and warrants involves risks that are described in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 4 of this prospectus.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Prospectus Summary

This summary highlights selected information that is presented in greater detail elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the sections titled “Risk Factors,” “Selected Consolidated Financial Data,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation and “Business,” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Heatwurx,” “our company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Heatwurx Inc.

Heatwurx, Inc.

General

Heatwurx, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 29, 2011 as Heatwurxaq, Inc. and subsequently changed its name to Heatwurx, Inc. on April 15, 2011. Our founders were Larry Griffin and David Eastman, the principals of Hunter Capital Group, LLC, an investment banking entity, which acquired our technology, equipment designs, trademarks, and patent applications from Richard Giles, the inventor, in April 2011.  In connection with the acquisition, we raised $1,000,000 in senior secured debt and $500,000 through the offering of Series A Preferred Stock to three investors.  In October 2011, we completed a 7-1 forward stock split and raised gross proceeds of $3,000,000 through the sale of our Series B Preferred Stock.  In August 2012, we raised gross proceeds of $1,520,000 through the sale of our Series C Preferred Stock.  In August 2012, the proceeds from the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock were used to repay our secured debt. 

We have not yet fully commercialized our products and we are therefore classified as a developmental stage enterprise.

We are an Original Equipment Manufacturer of Asphalt preservation and repair equipment.  Our innovative, and eco-friendly hot-in-place recycling process corrects surface distresses within the top three inches of existing pavement by heating the surface material in excess of 300 ° Fahrenheit with our electrically powered infrared heating equipment, mechanically loosening the heated material with our processor/tiller attachment that is optimized for producing a seamless repair, and mixing in additional recycled asphalt pavement and a binder (asphalt-cement), and then compacting repaired area with a vibrating roller or compactor.  We consider our equipment to be eco-friendly as the Heatwurx process reuses and rejuvenates distressed asphalt, uses recycled asphalt pavement for filler material, eliminates travel to and from asphalt batch plants, and extends the life of the roadway.  We believe our equipment, technology and processes provide savings over other processes that are more labor and equipment intensive.  

Our hot-in-place recycling process and equipment has been selected by the Technology Implementation Group of the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO TIG) as an “additionally Selected Technology” for the year 2012. We develop, manufacture and intend to sell our unique, innovative and eco-friendly equipment to federal, state and local governmental agencies as well as contractors for the repair and rehabilitation of damaged and deteriorated asphalt surfaces.

Our executive offices are located at 6041 South Syracuse Way, Suite 315, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111 and our telephone number is (303) 532-1641.  Our website is www.heatwurx.com.

Risk Factors

An investment in our common stock and warrants involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our shares of common stock and warrants could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should read the section entitled “ Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements ” below for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance of such statements in the context of this prospectus.

Risks Relating to the Company’s Business  

We have a limited operating history and there can be no assurance that we can achieve or maintain profitability. We have a limited operating history that can be used to evaluate us, and the likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays that we may encounter because we are a small business. As a result, we may not be profitable and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to develop as we have planned.

Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon and will continue to be dependent upon:  

·

the market’s acceptance of our equipment;

·

our ability to keep abreast of the changes by government agencies and in laws related to our business, particularly in the areas of intellectual property and environmental regulation;

·

our ability to maintain any competitive advantage via patents, if attainable, or protection of our trade secrets;

·

our ability to attract customers who require the products we offer;

·

our ability to generate revenues through the sale of our products to potential customers; and

·

our ability to manage the logistics and operations of the Company and the distribution of our products and services.

If we are unable to successfully manage these aspects of our business, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could suffer, the trading price of our shares of common stock and warrants could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

We have incurred operating losses since formation. We expect to continue to incur net losses for the near term and may not be able to attain a level of profitability sufficient to sustain operations without additional sources of capital.

We have limited sales and a history of operating losses. We reported a net operating loss for the period from incorporation on March 29, 2011 to December 31, 2011, and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012.  We also had an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2011 and at September 30, 2012. We anticipate that we will continue to incur operating losses in the near term and we may not be able to achieve profitable operations. In order to achieve profitable operations we need to secure sufficient sales of our preservation and repair equipment. Our potential customers are federal, state, and local governmental entities, pavement contractors, equipment distributors and original equipment manufacturers.  We cannot be certain that our business will be successful or that we will generate significant revenues and become profitable. If we are unable to achieve profitability or locate alternate sources of capital, we may be forced to cease operations.  



- 3 -


We currently have a single manufacturer of our equipment.  If our manufacturing partner chooses not to manufacture our equipment or is otherwise unable to timely manufacture our equipment, we may not be able to locate another manufacturing partner in a timely manner to satisfy future demand for our products.

We currently have only one manufacturing partner.  We do not have any agreement with our manufacturing partner, who is free to discontinue manufacturing services for us or to increase prices charged to us.  This arrangement is adequate for the near term as we do not have a large number of customer orders and do not have any urgent need for equipment.  However, we anticipate that as our business grows, we will contract with additional manufacturing partners to protect us against business interruptions related to our current sole manufacturing partner.  If we experience any business interruption in our manufacturing partner’s business or if our manufacturing partner decides to discontinue manufacturing for us on agreeable terms, we may be unable to meet commitments to existing customers or attract new ones.

The growth of our business depends upon the development and successful commercial acceptance of our products.  If we are unable to achieve successful commercial acceptance of our product, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could suffer.

We depend upon a variety of factors to ensure that our preservation and repair equipment is successfully commercialized, including timely and efficient completion of design and development, implementation of manufacturing processes, and effective sales, marketing, and customer service. Because of the complexity of our products, significant delays may occur between development, introduction to the market and volume production phases.  

The development and commercialization of our preservation and repair equipment involves many difficulties, including:  

·

retention and hiring of appropriate operational, research and development personnel;

·

determination of the products’ technical specifications;

·

successful completion of the development process;

·

successful marketing of the preservation and repair equipment and achieving customer acceptance;

·

obtain, manage and maintain key dealer relationships;

·

produce products that meet the quality, performance and price expectations of our customers;

·

develop effective sales, advertising and marketing programs; and 

·

manage additional customer service and warranty costs associated with supporting product modifications and/or subsequent potential field upgrades.

If we are unable to achieve successful commercial acceptance of our product, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenues to sustain operations and may be forced to cease operations.

We and our customers may be required to comply with a number of laws and regulations, both foreign and domestic, in the areas of safety, health and environmental controls. Failure to comply with government regulations could severely limit our sales opportunities and future revenues.

We intend to market our preservation and repair equipment domestically and internationally. We may be required to comply with local and international laws and regulations and obtain permits when required.  We also cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain or maintain, required permits and approvals, that new or more stringent environmental regulations will not be enacted or that if they are, that we will be able to meet the stricter standards.

Failure to obtain operating permits, or otherwise to comply with federal and state regulatory and environmental requirements, could affect our abilities to market and sell our preservation and repair equipment and could have a



- 4 -


material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations, the trading price of our shares of common stock and warrants could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Our ability to grow the business depends on being able to demonstrate our equipment to potential customers and distributors and train them on proper usage.  If we do not add more demonstration teams, our growth is limited geographically.

Our current marketing efforts utilize two driver/trainers that transport our equipment to potential customers and distributors to demonstrate the value of our equipment and train them on the process.  This team can travel approximately 1,000 miles in any direction to conduct the demonstrations and training.  These efforts are very time-consuming and with high gas prices, very expensive.  In order to overcome the natural geographic limitations, we intend to deploy demonstration equipment throughout the country and hire and train additional driver/trainers.  These efforts will be dependent upon our ability (i) to raise capital to purchase and/or lease new demonstration equipment and (ii) to locate and hire qualified personnel.  If we cannot raise additional capital or locate qualified personnel, it will be much more difficult to grow our business.  If that happens, our stock and warrant price may decline and our investors may lose all or a part of their investment.

Commodity or component price increases and/or significant shortages of component products may erode our expected gross profit on sales and adversely impact our ability to meet commitments to customers.

We require steel for the manufacture of our products.  Accordingly, increases in the price of steel could significantly increase our production cost.  If we were unable to fully offset the effect of any such increased costs through price increases, productivity improvements, or cost reduction programs, our expected gross profit on sales would decline.

We also rely on suppliers to secure component products required for the manufacture of our products. We have no assurance that key suppliers will be able to increase production in a timely manner in the event of an increase in the demand for our products.  A disruption in deliveries to or from suppliers or decreased availability of components could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet our commitments to customers or increase our operating costs.  If component supply is insufficient for the demand for our products, we may be unable to meet commitments to existing customers or attract new ones.

Our business is subject to the risk that our customers and/or other companies will produce their own version of our equipment which could significantly reduce our expected product sales.

We intend to sell finished products through an independent dealer network and directly to OEMs.  Some of our potential customers are OEMs that manufacture or could in the future manufacture their own products.  Despite their manufacturing abilities, we believe that these customers have chosen to purchase from us due to the quality of our products and to reduce their production risks and maintain their company focus.  There is also the risk that other companies will copy our equipment and will become our competitors. However, we have no assurance that these customers will place significant equipment orders with us or continue to outsource manufacturing in the future.  Our sales would decline and our profit margin would suffer if our potential customers decide to produce their own version of our products or there is increased competition from other manufacturers.

Our future success is dependent, in part, on the performance and continued service of Stephen Garland and other key management personnel. Without their continued service, we may be forced to interrupt or cease operations .

We are presently dependent to a great extent upon the experience, abilities and continued services of Stephen Garland, our Chief Executive Officer, and our other executive officers, who are all at-will employees.  Mr. Garland is responsible for the development, and with the other members of the executive team, the execution of our strategic vision.  Mr. Garland also has developed and cultivated significant relationships in our industry that are critical to our success. As the Company grows and more people are added to the team over time, Mr. Garland will share his knowledge of our company and the industry with new hires, and we will not be dependent upon Mr. Garland or any other individual.  However, until the Company grows, there is a disproportionate dependence upon Mr. Garland, and the loss of his services would significantly impair our business operations.  Some companies reduce the risk of the



- 5 -


loss of key individuals by purchasing life insurance policies that pay the company upon the death of key personnel. We do not have a key man life insurance policy on Mr. Garland and do not intend to purchase one. If we interrupt or cease operations due to the loss of Mr. Garland’s or other executive officer availability, we may be unable to service our existing customers or acquire new customers, and our business may suffer and our stock and warrant prices may decline.  

The success of our business depends upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees.  If we experience any adverse outcome in such matters, our ability to grow and manage our business may suffer.

We currently rely upon outside consultants for many aspects of our operations.  Our ability to execute our business plan and be successful depends upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees. As we expand our business, we will need to hire additional personnel to support our operations.  We may be unable to retain our key employees or attract other highly qualified employees in the future. If we fail to attract new personnel with the requisite skills and industry knowledge we will need to execute against our business plan, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could suffer.

The success of our business depends, in part, upon our infrared heating process and technical information which may be difficult to protect and may be perceived to infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties. If we are unable to protect our products from being copied by others it may negatively impact our expected sales. Claims by others of infringement could prove costly to defend and if we are unsuccessful we could be forced into an expensive redesign of our products.

We believe that the identification, acquisition and development of our infrared heating process are key drivers of our business. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. We cannot assure you that:

·

the patents of others will not have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business;

·

our patents will be issued;

·

our patents, if issued, will provide us with competitive advantages;

·

patents, if issued, will not be challenged by third parties;

·

we will develop additional proprietary technology that is patentable; or

·

others will not independently develop similar or superior technologies, duplicate elements of our preservation and repair equipment or design around it.

In the future, we may be accused of patent infringement by other companies.  To defend and/or settle such claims, we may need to acquire licenses to use, or to contest the validity of, issued or pending patents. We cannot assure you that any license acquired under such patents would be made available to us on acceptable terms, if at all, or that we would prevail in any contest regarding the issued or pending patents of others. In addition, we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us for alleged infringement of another party's patents or in defending the validity or enforceability of our patents, if any, or in bringing patent infringement suits against other parties based on our patents. Any negative outcome of a patent infringement case or failure to obtain license agreements would necessitate the need to redesign our products, which creates added expense.  Such redesigned products may not be accepted in the market place and we may not be able to continue our operations.  

Because we are smaller and have fewer financial and other resources than many other companies that manufacture and sell equipment for road repair work, we may not be able to successfully compete in the very competitive road repair work equipment industry.

There are over eleven million miles of paved roadways throughout the world. There is significant competition among companies that manufacture and sell equipment to repair existing roadways. Our business faces competition from companies that are much more connected to the decision-makers, have been in business for a longer period of time, and have the financial and other resources that would enable them to invest in new technologies if they chose to. These companies may be able to achieve substantial economies of scale and scope, thereby substantially reducing

their costs and the costs to their customers.  If these companies are able to substantially reduce their marginal costs, the market price to the customer may decline and we may be not be able to offer our preservation and repair equipment at a price that allows us to compete economically. Even if we are able to operate profitably, these other companies may be substantially more profitable than us, which may make it more difficult for us to raise any financing necessary for us to achieve our business plan and may have a materially adverse effect on our business.

Mergers or other strategic transactions involving our competitors could weaken our competitive position, which could harm our operating results. If our competitors merge or are involved in other strategic transactions that place us at a disadvantage in the marketplace, our results of operations could decline.

Some of our competitors may enter into new alliances with each other or may establish or strengthen cooperative relationships.  Any consolidation, acquisition, alliance or cooperative relationship could lead to pricing pressure and could result in a competitor with greater financial, technical, marketing, service and other resources which could result in a loss of our expected market share. If this occurs, our results of operations could decline.

Our long-term plan depends, in part, on our ability to expand the sales of our products to customers located outside of the United States and, accordingly, our business will be susceptible to risks associated with international operations. If we are unable to successfully manage the risks involved in international operations, the expected growth of our business may be negatively impacted.

We have no experience operating in foreign jurisdictions. We continue to explore opportunities outside of North America.  Our lack of experience in operating our business outside of North America increases the risk that our current and any future international expansion efforts will not be successful. Conducting international operations subjects us to new risks that, generally, we do not face in the United States, including:

·

fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

·

unexpected changes in foreign regulatory requirements;

·

longer accounts receivable payment cycles and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;

·

difficulties in managing and staffing international operations;

·

potentially adverse tax consequences, including the complexities of foreign value added tax systems and restrictions on the repatriation of earnings;

·

localization of our solutions, including translation into foreign languages and associated expenses;

·

the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and different legal standards, including laws and regulations related to privacy;

·

increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities;

·

political, social and economic instability abroad, terrorist attacks and security concerns in general; and

·

reduced or varied protection for intellectual property rights in some countries.

If we fail to manage the risks associated with international operations, expected international sales may not materialize or may not prove to be as profitable as anticipated.  

We may be sued by claimants that allege that they were injured due to our equipment.  Our business will be negatively impacted if we do not have sufficient insurance to protect us against these claims.

Any business today is at risk of becoming involved in lawsuits.  It is extremely difficult to identify all possibly claims that could be made against us based on our business, but to name a few, we may be sued by drivers that claim that roads repaired by our equipment caused them to get into an automobile accident.  Or a worker using our equipment to repair a road may claim that he or she was injured by our equipment.  These claims may or may not be meritorious.  In any event, we will attempt to protect ourselves against these claims by purchasing general liability insurance.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the insurance or that it will be sufficient to protect us against future claims.  Further, even if we obtain insurance, some of the litigation claims may not be



- 7 -


covered under our insurance policies, or our insurance carriers may seek to deny coverage.  As a result, we might also be required to incur significant legal fees with no assurance of outcome, and we may be subject to adverse judgments or settlements that could significantly impair our ability to operate.

We may not maintain sufficient insurance coverage for the risks associated with our business operations. Accordingly, we may incur significant expenses for uninsured events and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Risks associated with our business and operations include, but are not limited to, claims for wrongful acts committed by our officers, directors, employees and other representatives, the loss of intellectual property rights, the loss of key personnel and risks posed by natural disasters. Any of these risks may result in significant losses. We do not carry business interruption insurance. In addition, we cannot provide any assurance that our insurance coverage is sufficient to cover any losses that we may sustain, or that we will be able to successfully claim our losses under our insurance policies on a timely basis or at all. If we incur any loss not covered by our insurance policies, or the compensated amount is significantly less than our actual loss or is not timely paid, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.  

We have raised substantial amounts of capital in private placements and if it is determined that we failed to comply with applicable securities laws, we could be subject to rescission claims or lawsuits that could severely damage our financial position.

We have offered and sold securities in private placements to investors pursuant to certain exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as well as those of various state securities laws. Such exemptions are highly technical in nature and the basis for relying on such exemptions is factual; that is, the applicability of such exemptions depends upon our conduct and that of those persons contacting prospective investors and making the offering. We have not received a legal opinion to the effect that any of our prior offerings were exempt from registration under any federal or state law. Instead, we have relied upon the operative facts as the basis for such exemptions, including information provided by investors themselves. If any prior offerings did not qualify for such exemption, an investor would have the right to rescind its purchase of the securities if it so desired. If investors were successful in seeking rescission, we would face severe financial demands that could adversely affect our business and operations. Additionally, if we did not in fact qualify for the exemptions upon which it has relied, we may become subject to significant fines and penalties imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission and state securities agencies.

We have historically operated as a private company and have limited experience in complying with public company obligations. Complying with these requirements will increase our costs and require additional management resources. Even with additional resources we may fail to adequately comply with public company obligations and, as a result, the market price of our common stock and warrants could be negatively affected.

We will face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses as a public company. Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, as well as rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the NYSE MKT, for example, will result in significant initial cost to us as well as ongoing increases in our legal, audit and financial compliance costs. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, will require, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, we expect these rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to incur substantial costs to maintain the same or similar coverage.

As a public company, we will be subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act relating to internal controls over financial reporting. We expect to incur significant expense and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with Section 404. We currently do not have an internal audit group, and we will need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. Implementing any appropriate changes to our internal controls may require specific compliance training for our directors, officers and employees, entail substantial costs to modify our existing accounting systems, and take a significant period of time to complete. Such changes may not, however, be effective in maintaining the



- 8 -


adequacy of our internal controls, and any failure to maintain that adequacy, or consequent inability to produce accurate consolidated financial statements or other reports on a timely basis, could increase our operating costs and could materially impair our ability to operate our business.  Although we have not identified any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting to date, we cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting will prove to be effective.

If we fail to comply with our public company obligations, our investors may lose confidence in the Company, the market price of our common stock and warrants could be negatively affected, and investigations by stock exchange/regulatory agencies could commence requiring additional management and financial resources.

Risks Related to our Common Stock and Warrants:

The exercise of our warrants and options may result in a dilution of our current stockholders' voting power and an increase in the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market which may negatively impact the trading price of our shares of common stock and warrants.

The exercise of some or all of our outstanding warrants and options could significantly dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders.   At the effective date of this offering, we anticipate having outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,012,500 shares of common stock, including (i) the warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock issued to the Underwriter in connection with this offering and (ii) the warrants to purchase 862,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share issued pursuant to this offering (including 112,500 warrants issued pursuant to the Underwriter’s overallotment option).  Additionally, the issuance of up to 1,022,000 shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options and 1,440,000 performance stock options outstanding as of November 10, 2012 will further dilute our existing stockholders’ voting interest.  To the extent warrants and/or options are exercised, additional shares of common stock will be issued, and such issuance will dilute existing stockholders.  Please see the section in this prospectus entitled “Dilution” for a tabular discussion of the theoretical impact of the warrants issued in this offering and the effects of the issuance of shares underlying such warrants on existing stockholders’ economic and percentage ownership.  

In addition to the dilutive effects described above, the exercise of those securities would lead to an increase in the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our shares. Substantial dilution and/or a substantial increase in the number of common shares available for future resale may negatively impact the trading price of our shares of common stock and warrants.

As a new investor, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of your shares.

The initial public offering price of our units in this offering reflects a common stock value that is considerably higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock.  Investors purchasing shares of common stock and warrants in this offering will pay a price that substantially exceeds the value of our tangible assets after subtracting liabilities. As a result, investors will, as of September 30, 2012:

·

incur immediate dilution of $4.28 per share of common stock, based on the $5.00 allocation of the initial public offering price of $5.10 per unit to a share of common stock; and

·

contribute 60% of the total amount invested to date to fund our company based on the $5.00 allocation of the initial public offering price of $5.10 per unit to a share of common stock, but will own only 15% of the outstanding shares of common stock after the offering.

Provisions in our third amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our amended and restated bylaws or Delaware law might discourage, delay or prevent a change-of-control of our company or changes in our management and, therefore, depress the trading price of our common stock and warrants.

Provisions of our third amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our amended and restated bylaws, or Delaware law may have the effect of deterring unsolicited takeovers or delaying or preventing a change-of-control



- 9 -


of our company or changes in our management, including transactions in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices.  In addition, these provisions may limit the ability of stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interest. These provisions include:

·

advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and nominations of directors;

·

the inability of stockholders to call special meetings; and

·

limitations on the ability of stockholders to remove directors without cause or amend our bylaws.

The existence of the foregoing provisions and anti-takeover measures could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. They could also deter potential acquirers of the Company, thereby reducing the likelihood that you could receive a premium for your common stock in an acquisition.

We may seek to raise additional funds, finance acquisitions or develop strategic relationships by issuing capital stock that would dilute your ownership. If these activities result in significant dilution, it may negatively impact the trading price of our shares of common stock and warrants.

We have financed our operations, and we expect to continue to finance our operations, acquisitions, if any, and the development of strategic relationships by issuing equity and/or convertible securities, which could significantly reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders.  Furthermore, any newly issued securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing securities. Any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price of our stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on your ownership interest, which could cause the market price of our stock and/or warrants to decline.  We may also raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt or the issuance or sale of other securities or instruments senior to our common shares. The holders of any securities or instruments we may issue may have rights superior to the rights of our common stockholders. If we experience dilution from issuance of additional securities and we grant superior rights to new securities over common stockholders, it may negatively impact the trading price of our shares of common stock and warrants, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

An active, liquid and orderly trading market for our common stock and warrants may not develop and the trading price of our common stock and warrants may be volatile. If an orderly trading market for our common stock and warrants does not develop and/or if the trading price for our common stock and warrants is volatile, the trading price of our shares of common stock and warrants may be negatively impacted.   

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock and warrants. The initial public offering price of our unit of one share of common stock and one half (1/2) common stock purchase warrant has been determined through negotiation with the Underwriter. This unit price will not necessarily reflect the price at which investors in the market will be willing to buy and sell our common stock or warrants following this offering.  In addition, the trading price of our common stock and warrants following this offering is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. If an orderly trading market for our common stock and warrants does not develop and/or if the trading price for our common stock and warrants is volatile, the trading price of our shares of common stock and warrants may be negatively impacted, and you may lose all or part of your investment.   

In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for newly public companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies.  Broad market and industry factors may seriously affect the market price of companies’ stock, including ours, regardless of actual operating performance. These fluctuations may be even more pronounced in the trading market for our stock shortly following this offering.  Historically, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against such a company.  If securities class action litigation is instituted against us, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources and our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could suffer, the trading price of our shares of common stock and warrants could decline, and, accordingly, you may lose all or part of your investment.

A total of 7,910,000 of our total outstanding shares are being registered for resale. A total of 1,549,695 shares (excluding 630,000 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to vested stock options) are subject to lockup agreements with our Underwriter for a period of 13 months after the date of this prospectus and the balance of 6,360,305 shares may be sold immediately on the NYSE MKT Exchange. The large number of shares eligible for public sale could depress the market price of our common stock and warrants.

The market price of our common stock and warrants could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market after this offering, and the perception that these sales could occur may also depress the market price of our common stock and warrants. Based on shares outstanding as of November 10, 2012, we will have 9,860,000 shares of common stock outstanding after this offering.  All of these shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the United States. The holders of 1,549,695 shares of outstanding common stock and 630,000 vested stock options have agreed with the Underwriter, subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any of their common stock (including the common stock issuable upon exercise of the vested stock options) during the 13-month period beginning on the date of this prospectus, except with the prior written consent of our Underwriter.   After the expiration of the 13-month restricted period, these shares may be sold in the public market in the United States, subject to prior registration in the United States, if required, or reliance upon an exemption from U.S. registration.

In addition, upon completion of this offering, we intend to file a registration statement to register 1,800,000 shares of our outstanding common stock reserved for future issuance under our equity compensation plans.  Upon the effectiveness of that registration statement, subject to the satisfaction of applicable exercise periods and, in certain cases, lock-up agreements with the representatives of the Underwriter referred to above, the shares of common stock issued upon exercise of outstanding options will be available for immediate resale in the United States in the open market.

Sales of our common stock, as lockup restrictions end, may depress the price of our common stock and warrants making it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. These sales also could cause our stock price to fall and make it more difficult for you to sell shares of our common stock and warrants, and, accordingly, you may lose all or part of your investment.   

Ownership of our common shares is concentrated and you and other investors will have minimal influence on stockholder decisions.

As of November 10, 2012, our executive officers, directors, and a small number of investors, beneficially owned an aggregate of 6,959,689 shares of common stock and/or preferred stock convertible into common stock, representing approximately 66% of the voting power of our then-outstanding capital stock.  As a result, our existing officers, directors, and such investors could significantly influence stockholder actions of which you disapprove or that are contrary to your interests. This ability to exercise significant influence could prevent or significantly delay another company from acquiring or merging with us and the trading price of our shares of common stock and warrants could decline, and, accordingly, you may lose all or part of your investment.

Securities analysts may not cover our common stock and this may have a negative impact on the market price of our common stock and warrants.

The trading market for our common stock and warrants may depend on the research and reports that securities analysts publish about us or our business.  We do not have any control over these analysts.  There is no guarantee that securities analysts will cover our common stock.  If securities analysts do not cover our common stock, the lack of research coverage may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and warrants.  If we are covered by securities analysts, and our stock is downgraded, the price of our stock and warrants would likely decline.  If one or more of these analysts ceases to cover us or fails to publish regularly reports on us, we could lose or fail to gain visibility in the financial markets, which could cause a decline in our stock and warrant price and/or trading volume, and, accordingly, you may lose all or part of your investment.



- 11 -


The application of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “penny stock” rules to our common stock could limit trading activity in the market, and our stockholders may find it more difficult to sell their stock.

If our common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share, then it will be subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) penny stock rules.  Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.  The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.  These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules.  The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock which may depress the market price of our common stock and warrants and, accordingly, you may lose all or part of your investment.   

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and you must rely on increases in the market prices of our common stock and warrants for returns on your investment .

For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their common stock and warrants after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur.  Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.  Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our Board of Directors deems relevant.

We will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion to use the net proceeds of this offering for a variety of purposes, including, further development of our products and operations, working capital, and general corporate purposes. We may spend or invest these proceeds in a way with which our stockholders disagree. Failure by our management to effectively use these funds could harm our business and financial condition. Until the net proceeds are used, they may be placed in investments that do not yield a favorable return to our investors, do not produce significant income or lose value.   See “ Use of Proceeds .”

Selling Stockholder

This prospectus includes t he sale of up to 300,000 shares underlying 200,000 units that maybe sold to the Underwriter by a common stockholder in the event that our Underwriter exercises its over-allotment option.   

The 300,000 shares of common stock underlying the 200,000 units were issued as follows.  These shares were acquired by the selling stockholder in April 2011 upon consummation of the purchase by us of certain of our assets from the selling stockholder in a transaction that was exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.  

The following table sets forth information regarding the shares of common stock owned beneficially as of November 10, 2012, by the selling stockholder, Mr. Richard Giles. Mr. Giles owns more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Company common stock.  He was a director of the Company from April 2011 to June 2012 and has been a consultant of the Company from April 2011 to the present.

Use of Proceeds

We estimate that our net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $6,550,000, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $612,000, our Underwriter’s expenses and our estimated offering expenses of $488,000. We will receive additional net proceeds of up to $117,300, after deducting $10,200 in underwriting discounts and commissions, if our Underwriter exercises its overallotment option to purchase up to 25,000 additional units from us, for total combined net proceeds of $6,667,300.

If our Underwriter exercises its over-allotment option and purchases 200,000 units from a selling stockholder, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the 200,000 units nor from the issuance of the additional 100,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants underlying these units.  The warrants underlying the units offered by the selling stockholder are identical to the warrants underlying the units offered by us.  The first proceeds from the exercise of any warrants will go to us.  All amounts in excess of the aggregate exercise price of the warrants sold by us will go to the selling stockholder.

We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for dealer network development, executive management salaries and benefits, intellectual property development and protection, research and development, and general working capital purposes as detailed below.  Our planned capital expenditures for activities during calendar 2012 and 2013 that are to be funded from the proceeds of this offering are as follows:

Dividend Policy

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings to finance the operation, development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Payment of future cash dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors that our Board of Directors considers relevant.

Determination of Offering Price

The price of the units we are offering was arbitrarily determined in order for us to raise up to a total of $7,650,000 in this offering, assuming no exercise of the Underwriter’s overallotment option. The offering price bears no relationship whatsoever to our assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of value. Among the factors considered were:

·

our lack of operating history,

·

the proceeds to be raised by the offering,

·

the amount of capital to be contributed by purchasers in this offering in proportion to the amount of stock to be retained by our existing stockholder, and

·

our relative cash requirements.

Dilution

Our pro forma net tangible book value (unaudited) as of September 30, 2012 was $556,032, or $0.07 per share of common stock and common stock equivalents. Our pro forma net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets at September 30, 2012, less total liabilities, divided by the pro forma total number of shares of common stock outstanding at such date.  The pro forma total number of shares of common stock outstanding assumes that all 2,860,000 shares of our preferred stock convert into 6,460,000 shares of common stock.  The dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the $5.10 price paid by purchasers of units in this offering ($5.00 of which is attributable to the common stock and $0.10 of which is attributable to the warrants) and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately following this offering.

After giving effect to the sale of 1,500,000 units offered by us at $5.10 per unit and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions, and offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma net tangible book value, as adjusted, as of September 30, 2012 would have been approximately $7,039,532 or $0.72 per share of common stock. This amount represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $0.65 per share to the existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of $4.28 per share of common stock to new investors purchasing units in this offering.

The following table illustrates the dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share to new investors.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

You should read the following discussion of the financial condition and plan of operation in conjunction with our Heatwurx and predecessor carve-out financial statements and the notes to financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.  Heatwurx, Inc. was incorporated on March 29, 2011 and we commenced operations on that date.  However, as there was no financial activity subsequent to the date of incorporation on March 29, 2011 through April 15, 2011, the Company is using April 16, 2011 as the date of incorporation for the purpose of the financial statements including in this filing (other than the Company’s Statement of Stockholders’ Equity which includes the common stock issued upon the Company’s actual incorporation date of March 29, 2011). On April 15, 2011, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Mr. Richard Giles, a current stockholder of Heatwurx, Inc. Pursuant to the agreement, we purchased the related business and activities of the design, manufacture and distribution of asphalt repair machinery under the Heatwurx brand.  


Mr. Giles began developing the Heatwurx business during 2009.  The financial statements of Heatwurx included in this prospectus as of December 31, 2010, for the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from January 1, 2011 through April 15, 2011 (date of acquisition of the Heatwurx business from Mr. Giles’ construction business have been disaggregated, or “carved-out” of the financial statements of Mr. Giles construction business, as our “predecessor”.  These carved-out financial statements form what we refer to herein as the financial statement of our predecessor, and include both direct and indirect expenses.  The historical direct expenses consist primarily of the various cost of development of the Heatwurx equipment (technology, design, etc.), incurred by Mr. Giles construction business on behalf of Heatwurx.  Indirect expenses represent principally the estimated time Mr. Giles spent on Heatwurx activities.  In addition, the net intercompany activities between predecessor and Mr. Giles Construction business have been accumulated in a single caption entitled, “Divisional Net Equity”.  

The Heatwurx financial information as of December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012, for the period from April 16, 2011 (date of incorporation) through December 31, 2011 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are referred to in this prospectus as the financial information of the successor.

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in “ Risk Factors ” and elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview and Basis of Presentation

Heatwurx, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 29, 2011 as Heatwurxaq, Inc. and subsequently changed its name to Heatwurx, Inc. on April 15, 2011. We have not yet fully commercialized our products and we are therefore classified as a development stage enterprise.

We are an Original Equipment Manufacturer of Asphalt preservation and repair equipment.  Our innovative, and eco-friendly hot-in-place recycling process corrects surface distresses within the top 3 inches of existing pavement by heating the surface material in excess of 300 ° Fahrenheit with our electrically powered infrared heating equipment, mechanically loosening the heated material with our processor/tiller attachment that is optimized for producing a seamless repair, and mixing in additional recycled asphalt pavement and a binder (asphalt-cement), and then compacting repaired area with a vibrating roller or compactor.  We consider our equipment to be eco-friendly as the Heatwurx process reuses and rejuvenates distressed asphalt, uses recycled asphalt pavement for filler material, eliminates travel to and from asphalt batch plants, and extends the life of the roadway.  We believe our equipment, technology and processes provide savings over other processes that can be more labor and equipment intensive.

Our hot-in-place recycling process and equipment has been selected by the Technology Implementation Group of the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO TIG) as an “additionally Selected Technology” for the year 2012. We develop, manufacture and intend to sell our unique and innovative and eco-friendly equipment to federal, state and local agencies as well as contractors for the repair and rehabilitation of damaged and deteriorated asphalt surfaces.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Use of Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations include the predecessor’s financial statements for the periods through April 15, 2011 and the successor’s financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2012. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, allocations and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to impairment of long-lived assets, accrued liabilities and certain expenses. We base our estimates about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources on historical experience and on other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Additionally, the financial information included here may not necessarily reflect the financial position, operating results, changes in our invested equity and cash flows in the future or what they would have been had we been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

We believe the following critical accounting policies involve significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

To date, our revenue has been immaterial. Equipment sales revenue is recognized when equipment is shipped to our customer and collection is reasonably assured.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist of direct and overhead-related expenses. Expenditures to acquire technologies, including licenses, which are utilized in research and development and that have no alternative future use are expensed when incurred. Technology we develop for use in our products is expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established after which it is capitalized and depreciated.

Stock-based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) 123(R) “Share-based Payment (Revised 2004)” (“SFAS 123(R)”) and compensation cost for all share-based payments, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R), is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R), Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (“EITF”) No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services and EITF 00-18, Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees, as amended, which require that such equity instruments be recorded at their fair value on the measurement date.

Non-employee share-based compensation charges generally are immediately vested and have no future performance requirements by the non-employee and the total share-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets for impairment on an annual basis, as of December 31, or on an interim basis if an event occurs that might reduce the fair value of such assets below their carrying values. An impairment loss would



- 19 -


be recognized based on the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair value, which would be determined based on either discounted future cash flows or other appropriate fair value methods.

Results of operations

Our results of operations include the activity of the successor for the period from April 16, 2011 (date of incorporation) through September 30, 2012 and the activity of our predecessor for the periods prior to April 15, 2011.  As such, our discussion for the relevant periods described below at times refers to the combined activity of the successor and predecessor.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our net loss was $1,650,000, compared to a loss of $305,000 (consisting of a loss of $344,000 from the successor and income of $39,000 from the predecessor), for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  We incurred net losses of $902,000 (consisting of a loss of $941,000 from the successor and income of $39,000 from the predecessor) and $160,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, based on the methodology used in carving out our financial information from Mr. Richard Giles’ construction business, as described elsewhere in this prospectus.  Further description of these losses is provided below.

Revenue

Revenue decreased from approximately $149,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (consisting of $143,000 from the predecessor and $6,000 from the successor) to $161,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 consisted principally of the sale of prototype equipment units (each unit consisting of one HWX-30 heating unit and one HWX-AP-40 asphalt processor) for $135,000.  Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 consisted of sales of both the HWX-30 and HWX-AP-40 units to customers.

Revenue increased from approximately $136,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $159,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011.  Given we are still in a start-up stage, sales of our equipment have not been material to date.  Accordingly, for accounting purposes we consider ourselves to be a development stage company.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold increased from approximately $78,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (consisting of $78,000 from the predecessor and $0 from the successor) to $100,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.   

Cost of goods sold decreased from approximately $146,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $77,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 (consisting of $77,000 from the predecessor and $0 from the successor). The decrease is principally due to the higher costs of product during 2010 when the predecessor was still working to standardize the prototype equipment.  

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from approximately $196,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (consisting of $13,000 from the predecessor and $183,000 from the successor) to $1,203,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is principally due to stock-based compensation recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 related to stock option grants for directors, officers and a consultant, increased employee expenses related to the hiring of company employees and marketing costs incurred with an outside consulting firm, among other costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $44,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $625,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 (consisting of $13,000 from the predecessor and $612,000 from the successor).  The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is principally due to equipment rental, trade shows and promotional expenses, among other items. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is



- 20 -


principally due to stock-based compensation recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011 related to stock option grants for directors, officers and a consultant and increased expenses related to the hiring of company employees.

Research and Development

Research and development increased from $69,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (consisting of $15,000 from the predecessor and $55,000 from the successor) to $355,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The principal reason for the increase is due to legal and other intellectual property consulting fees related to our research on technology and process that may be patentable incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Research and development increased from $106,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $188,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 (consisting of $14,000 from the predecessor and $174,000 from the successor).  The increase in research and development cost during 2011 consist principally of payments to the founder of the Heatwurx business who worked on research and development surrounding the Company’s equipment during 2011.

Income taxes

Prior to April 16, 2011, we operated as part of Mr. Richard Giles general construction business. The tax benefits related to the carved-out expenses benefit Mr. Giles construction business since the carved-out Heatwurx activities were part of Mr. Giles construction business. Because the carve-out tax benefits belong to Mr. Giles construction business, we are not given credit for the tax losses in the accompanying financial statements. Heatwurx, the successor company, has incurred tax losses since it began operations. A tax benefit would have been recorded for losses incurred since April 16, 2011; however, due to the uncertainty of realizing these assets, a valuation allowance was recognized which fully offset the deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and capital resources

On April 15, 2011, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with an individual who is a current stockholder. Pursuant to the agreement, we purchased the related business and activities of the design, manufacture and distribution of asphalt repair machinery under the Heatwurx brand. The total purchase price was $2,500,000. The purchase price was paid in a $1,500,000 cash payment and the issuance of a senior subordinated note to the seller in the amount of $1,000,000.

To date we have relied exclusively on private placements with a small group of investors to finance our business and operations.  We have had little revenue since our inception.  Although we believe we have adequate working capital to support our currently planned level of operations through the end of 2012, it will be necessary for us to obtain additional financing to fund our operations, including general and administrative expenses, subsequent to year end.  Although we believe we may be able to obtain some limited financing through additional bridge loans with our current investor group, we currently have no commitment from any third parties to provide us with capital or additional funding.  We cannot assure that additional debt or equity or other funding will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.  If we fail to obtain additional funding when needed, we would be forced to scale back, or terminate or operations, or seek to merge with or be acquired by another company.                 

If we successfully complete our initial public offering, we believe the proceeds we will receive from the offering will be sufficient to fund our operations, including our expected capital expenditures, through at least the end of 2013.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2011-04”), which amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), providing a consistent definition and measurement of fair value, as well as similar disclosure requirements between U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles, clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement and expands the disclosure requirements. ASU 2011-04 will be effective for us for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The



- 21 -


adoption of ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 20): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”), which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2011. ASU 2011-05 will become effective for us for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. In addition, items of other comprehensive income that are reclassified to profit or loss are required to be presented separately on the face of the financial statements. This guidance is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements by requiring that such amounts be presented either in a single continuous statement of income and comprehensive income or separately in consecutive statements of income and comprehensive income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statement or disclosures.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment (“ASU 2011-08”), which amends the guidance in ASC 350-20, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other – Goodwill . ASU 2011-08 provides entities with the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit when testing goodwill for impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined, based on qualitative factors, to be more likely than not less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit, the entities are required to perform a two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 will be effective for us for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

Business

Our business

Heatwurx, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 29, 2011 as Heatwurxaq, Inc. and subsequently changed its name to Heatwurx, Inc. on April 15, 2011.  Our founders were Larry Griffin and David Eastman, the principals of Hunter Capital Group, LLC, an investment banking entity, which acquired our technology, equipment designs, trademarks, and patent applications from Richard Giles, the inventor in April 2011.  In connection with the acquisition, we raised $1,500,000 in senior secured debt and $500,000 through the offering of Series A Preferred Stock to three investors.  In October 2011, we completed a 7-1 forward stock split and raised gross proceeds of $3,000,000 through the sale of our Series B Preferred Stock.  In August 2012, we raised gross proceeds of $1,520,000 through the sale of our Series C Preferred Stock.  In August 2012, the proceeds from the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock were used to repay our secured debt. 

We are an Original Equipment Manufacturer of asphalt preservation and repair equipment.  Our innovative, and eco-friendly hot-in-place recycling process corrects surface distresses within the top three inches of existing pavement by heating the surface material in excess of 300 ° Fahrenheit with our electrically powered infrared heating equipment, mechanically loosening the heated material with our processor/tiller attachment that is optimized for producing a seamless repair, and mixing in additional recycled asphalt pavement and a binder (asphalt-cement), and then compacting repaired area with a vibrating roller or compactor.  We believe our equipment, technology and processes provide savings over other repair processes that can be more labor and equipment intensive.

AASHTO TIG 2012

The Heatwurx process has been selected by the Technology Implementation Group of the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO TIG) as an “additionally Selected Technology” for the year 2012.  

In its nomination of Heatwurx to AASHTO, the Utah Department of Transportation (“UDOT”) noted that:

·

“The state of Utah has used this technology since the end of 2008, 2009, 2010 and expanded the use in 2011. UDOT has written a Warrantee specification for this technology so that we can use it as another tool in our toolbox to do pavement maintenance and pavement preservation at a lesser cost;”

·

“The potential value of the benefits is enormous. Reduction in asphalt material needed to repair a flexible pavement (recycling existing material) and increasing the life of the repair from one year to three to five years. Cost savings of 30 to 40% appear very achievable. This technology can be used all year long when other repairs in Utah can only be done in the warmer months;” and

·

“UDOT has tried this in the harshest climate, on I-80 in Utah. This route has major truck traffic and gets a lot of snow and plowing. The technology is ready to go and the equipment can be bought through Wheeler and Caterpillar dealers.”

Pothole Patching and Repair

Potholes occur on asphalt-surfaced pavements that are subjected to a broad spectrum of traffic levels, from two-lane rural routes to multi-lane interstate highways. Any agency responsible for asphalt-surfaced pavements eventually performs pothole patching or repair. Pothole patching or repair is generally performed either as an emergency repair under harsh conditions, or as routine maintenance scheduled for warmer and drier periods. Pothole patching and repair can be performed during various weather conditions.

Need for Pothole Patching or Repair

The decision to patch or repair potholes is influenced by many factors:



- 23 -


·

The level of traffic

·

Location of pothole

·

Weather conditions

·

Resources

·

The tolerance of the traveling public

In most cases, the public likes all potholes to be patched or repaired promptly and forms a negative opinion of the agency when this fails to happen in a timely manner.

Potholes are generally caused by moisture, freeze-thaw cycle, traffic, poor underlying support, or some combination of these factors. Pothole patching or repair is necessary in those situations where potholes compromise safety and cause damage to vehicles.

Traditional pothole patching or repair operations can usually be divided into two distinct periods. The first period is winter repairs, when temperatures are low, base material are frozen, and additional moisture and freeze-thaw cycles are expected before the spring thaw. The second period is spring repairs, when base material is wet and soft, and few additional freeze-thaw cycles are expected.

Examples of Asphalt Repair and Patching Techniques  

The following techniques and asphalt repair methods have been documented by the Transportation Research Board as part the Strategic Highway Research Program (“SHRP”).  The Federal Highway Association Long Term Pavement Performance (“LTPP”) program conducted five years of additional research on pothole repair after the conclusion of SHRP, providing guidelines and recommendations to assist highway maintenance agencies and other related organizations in planning, constructing, and monitoring the performance of pothole repairs in asphalt-surfaced pavements.  

Throw-and-Roll

Many maintenance agencies use the “throw-and-roll” method for patching potholes. It is the most commonly used method because of its high rate of production.

The throw-and-roll method consists of the following steps:

1.

Shovel the hot asphalt into a pothole (which may or may not be filled with water or debris).

2.

Drive over the asphalt using the truck tires to compact.

3.

Move on to the next pothole.

One difference between this method and the traditional throw-and-go method is that some effort is made to compact the patches. Compaction provides a tighter patch for traffic than simply leaving loose material. The extra time to compact the patches (generally one to two additional minutes per patch) will not significantly affect productivity. This is especially true if the areas to be patched are separated by long distances and most of the time is spent traveling between potholes.

Crack Sealing

Crack sealing is utilized by agencies, parking lot owners and homeowners to seal cracks in asphalt pavement to prevent water and other debris from penetrating the asphalt and causing further damage during the freeze and thaw cycles.  This method is preventative and not suitable for repairing or patching potholes.

The process for sealing cracks consists of the following steps:

1.

Clean the surface of the area to be sealed and let dry.

2.

Heat the sealing material to 300 ° to 400 ° Fahrenheit.

3.

Pour the heated material into the crack.

4.

Let cool and dry.

5.

Place a layer of sand over the sealing material to prevent tracking by vehicle tires.



- 24 -


Spray injection Patching

The spray injection repair technique is performed by spraying heated aggregate (minerals such as sand, grave, or crushed stone) into the area to be repaired.  This repair method requires a truck to haul the replacement asphalt and specialized machinery to heat and disperse.  

The spray-injection procedure consists of the following steps:

1.

Blow water and debris from the pothole with a high-pressure air blower.

2.

Spray a generous layer of binder (asphalt-cement) on the sides and bottom of the pothole.

3.

Blow heated aggregate (minerals such as sand, gravel or crushed stone) and asphalt-cement (binder) into the pothole.

4.

Cover the patched area with a layer of dry aggregate (minerals).

This procedure process does not include compaction of the repaired area.  

Semi-Permanent Repair (Saw cut)

Many agencies employ semi-permanent repair methods such as saw cutting. This method represents an increased level of effort for repairing potholes. This increased effort increases the performance of the repair by improving the underlying and surrounding support provided for the repair. It also raises the cost, due to the increased labor required and the amount of time the repair takes.

The semi-permanent repair method has traditionally been considered one of the best for repairing potholes, short of full-depth removal and replacement. This procedure includes the following steps:


1.

Remove water and debris from the pothole.

2.

Using a radial saw with a hardened blade, cut the repair area on four sides creating a square or rectangle.

3.

Remove the material inside the section that was cut.

4.

Shovel hot asphalt into the repair area.  Spread with an asphalt rake to proper grade.

5.

Compact with a vibrating drum roller or vibrating plate compactor.

This repair procedure results in a tightly compacted repair. However, it requires more workers and equipment and has a lower productivity rate than both the throw-and-roll and the spray-injection procedure.

Infrared Heating Technology  

The infrared method utilized by Heatwurx consists of the following steps:

1.

Place infrared heating equipment on area to be repaired and heat until asphalt roadway reaches a temperature of 300° Fahrenheit through the full depth of the section. Overlap infrared equipment onto existing asphalt a minimum of 12 inches to enable seamless repair.

2.

Using a skid steer (compact loader), remove heater and move to the next section to be repaired for heating.

3.

Add recycled asphalt pavement as needed to provide proper volume and grade within the treated area.

4.

Using the skid steer, attach the asphalt processor and dig up the heated area.

5.

Apply binder (asphalt-cement) to the asphalt in the repair area.

6.

Repeat the processing until the material is thoroughly mixed.

7.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials

The primary raw material that is used in manufacturing our equipment is steel.  We currently outsource our manufacturing to a contract manufacturer who procures all raw materials and components.  See “ Risk Factors ” for a discussion on the risk related to having a single manufacturer of equipment.

Potential Markets and Major Customers

The potential customers of our equipment are federal, state, and local governments, the military, contractors, commercial real estate owners, home owner associations, and parking lot owners.  We do not intend to sell directly into any of these markets but instead intend to rely on distribution agreements with other companies that are well-positioned in these markets or for entry into these markets.  At this time, we do not have any major customers and are focused on building our relationships with distributors, and promoting our equipment and processes with governmental agencies and other potential customers.

Intellectual Property

We currently have two U.S. patent applications pending.  Our first patent application, entitled “Infrared Heating System and Method for Heating Surfaces” and filed in 2009, is currently in the examination process after having been rejected by the U.S. Patent Office.  We have responded to the Rejections and continue to seek approval of this patent application from the U.S. Patent Office.  Our second patent application, entitled “Asphalt Repair System and Method” and filed in 2010, is currently in the early stages of the substantive examination process by the U.S. Patent Office.  We intend to develop other patentable technologies, but do not have any assurance that our current patent applications will be issued or that we will be able to develop future patentable technologies. We believe our ability to operate our business is not dependent on the patentability of our technology.

Governmental Regulation

We do not manufacture our own equipment nor do we utilize our own equipment to perform road repair.  It will up to the manufacturer as well as the end-users to comply with any governmental regulations.  To the extent that any regulations require changes to our equipment, we will have to comply or risk losing the customers.  See “ Risk Factors ” for a discussion relating to compliance with government regulations.   Research and Development

We intend to use $300,000 from the proceeds of this offering on further research and development.  See “ Use of Proceeds ” and “ Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations .”  

Employees

As of September 30, 2012, we had six employees, all of which were full-time employees.  

Competition

According to the 2011 IBIS World Report on US Road and Highway Maintenance, the total spent on road maintenance in the United States is in excess of $30 billion per year.  As an emerging company, we are at a competitive disadvantage because we do not have the financial resources of larger, more established competitors, nor do we have a sales force large enough to challenge our competitors.  We intend to address this disadvantage by entering into distribution agreements with larger companies, and providing education and training to our sales partners, customers, and governmental agencies. We also believe that our equipment and processes are better than what is offered by other companies, and that purchasers will choose our equipment because of its effectiveness, quality of design, reputation in the marketplace, as well as the recognition we have received from state and federal agencies.  We intend to offer an industry standard one-year limited warranty and provide nationwide service though our OEM partners and dealers. See “ Risk Factors ” for a discussion of the risks associated with our company.

Facilities

The Company’s executive offices are located at 6041 South Syracuse Way, Suite 315, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111. The one year lease for these facilities expires in August 2013.  All manufacturing and storage of products is performed by contractors.

Equity compensation plan

Our Board of Directors and stockholders approved the Amended and Restated Heatwurx, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “ Plan ”) in October 2012.

Eligibility.   Employees, non-employee directors, advisors, and consultants of the Company and its affiliates are eligible to receive grants under the Plan.

Shares Available.   In October 2012, the Board of Directors and stockholders increased the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan to a total of 1,800,000 shares. There are currently 1,022,000 outstanding option grants to officers, directors, employees and consultants under the Plan. If unexercised options



- 31 -


expire or are terminated, the underlying shares will again become available for grants under the Plan.

Grants under the Plan.   The Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company. Options may be incentive stock options, designed to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, or non-statutory stock options, which do not meet those requirements.  Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of the Company and its affiliates. Non-statutory stock options may be granted to employees, non-employee directors, advisors, and consultants of Company and its affiliates.

Outstanding Options.   All currently outstanding options are exercisable at a price per share of $2.00, which was the offering price for our Series B and Series C Preferred Stock at the time of the grant of those options, and expire five years from the date of issuance. Options issued to directors are fully vested upon grant.  Except as otherwise specified at the time of grant, all other options vest over a period of four years.

Administration of the Plan.   The Plan provides that it will be administered by the Board or a Committee designated by the Board.  Our Board of Directors appointed a Compensation Committee, which administers the Plan.  The Compensation Committee has complete discretion to:

·

determine who should receive an option;

·

determine the type, the number shares, vesting requirements and other terms and conditions of options;

·

interpret the Plan and options granted under the Plan; and

·

make all other decisions relating to the operation and administration of the Plan and the options granted under the Plan.


Terms of Options .  The exercise price for non-statutory and incentive stock options granted under the equity compensation plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the option grant date or 110% in the case of incentive stock options granted to employees who own stock representing  more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of common stock of the Company and its parent and subsidiaries (“ 10%-Stockholders ”).  The Compensation Committee has the authority to establishing the vesting, including the terms under which vesting may be accelerated, and other terms and conditions of the options granted.  Options can have a term of no more than ten years from the grant date except for incentive stock options granted to 10%-Stockholders which can have a term of no more than five years from the grant date.

The Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to provide for accelerated vesting of options upon a “Change in Control,” as defined in the Plan.  All of the options currently outstanding provide that if there is a Change in Control, (i) immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, an unvested award will become fully exercisable as to all shares subject to the award and (ii) unless the option is assumed by a successor corporation or parent thereof, immediately following the Change in Control any unexercised options will terminate and cease to be outstanding. A Change in Control includes:

·

any Person (as such term is used in Sections 13(b) and 14(b) of the 1934 Act) is or becomes the beneficial owner (" Beneficial Owner ") (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of securities representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s securities that are then outstanding; provided, however , that an initial public offering shall not constitute a Change in Control for purposes of the Plan;

·

a merger or consolidation after which the Company’s then current stockholders own less than 50% of the surviving corporation; or

·

a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.



- 32 -


Amendment and Termination.   The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the Plan and outstanding options at any time without the consent of option holders provided that such action does not adversely affect outstanding options. Amendments are subject to stockholder approval to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations. Unless terminated sooner, the Plan will automatically terminate on April 15, 2021, the tenth anniversary of April 15, 2011, the date the Plan was adopted by our Board of Directors and approved by our Stockholders.

The table below provides information as to the number of options outstanding and their weighted average exercise price at November 10, 2012.

Shares of common stock not outstanding but deemed beneficially owned because an individual has the right to acquire the shares of common stock within 60 days, including shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock, are treated as outstanding when determining the amount and percentage of common stock owned by that individual and by all directors and executive officers as a group.

We are authorized to issue 23,000,000 shares of capital stock, $0.0001 par value per share, consisting of 20,000,000 shares of common stock and 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  We have designated and issued 600,000, 1,500,000, and 760,000 shares of Series A, B and C Preferred Stock, respectively, in separate private placements.  

We have applied to list our common stock and $5.00 warrants on the NYSE MKT Exchange under the proposed symbols of “____”  and “_____,” respectively.  We cannot assure you, however, that an active or orderly trading market will develop for our common stock and warrants or that our common stock and warrants will trade in the public markets subsequent to this offering at or above the initial offering price.

The following is a summary of the rights associated with our common stock and preferred stock.

Common stock

As of November 10, 2012, we had 16 stockholders of record owning a total of 1,900,000 shares of common stock. In addition, we had:

·

6,460,000 shares of common stock reserved and subject to issuance upon conversion of preferred stock;

·

1,525,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the unit offering registered hereby;

·

937,500 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of warrants issuable under the unit offering registered hereby (including 150,000 warrants issued to our Underwriter in connection with this offering); and  

·

2,462,000 shares of common stock reserved and subject to issuance upon exercise of 1,022,000 outstanding stock options and 1,440,000 outstanding performance stock options.

Our Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting and the holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders.  Our preferred stockholders are entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock which they are convertible into.  The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such common stock dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding. A merger, conversion, exchange or consolidation of us with or into any other person or sale or transfer of all or any part of our assets (which does not in fact result in our liquidation and distribution of assets) will not be deemed to be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs. The holders of our common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights.

All outstanding shares of common stock and all shares of common stock when issued by us will be fully paid and nonassessable.  Our board is authorized to issue additional shares of common stock within the limits authorized by our Certificate of Incorporation without stockholder approval.

Preferred stock   

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. To date we have issued a total of 2,860,000 shares of preferred stock in series A, B and C as detailed below. Any further issuance will require amendment of our certificate of incorporation and stockholder approval.

Series A Preferred Stock.   As of November 10, 2012, there were 600,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.     

The Series A Preferred Stock has the following terms:

·

annual dividend of $0.066664 cumulative dividend per share;

·

dividends accrue but are not payable unless declared by the Board of Directors or unless dividends are to be paid on common stock;

·

liquidation preference of $0.8333 per share with priority over common stock;

·

convertible into common stock at $0.119047 per share for a total of 4,200,000 shares;

·

voting rights equal to common stock on an as-converted basis, and

·

automatically converts to 4,200,000 shares of common stock upon the closing of this offering.



- 37 -


Series B Preferred Stock.   As of November 10, 2012, there were 1,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding.     

The Series B Preferred Stock has the following terms:

·

annual dividend of $0.16 cumulative dividend per share;

·

dividends accrue but are not payable unless declared by the Board of Directors or unless dividends are to be paid on common stock;

·

liquidation preference of $2.00 per share with priority over common stock;

·

convertible into common stock at $2.00 per share for a total of 1,500,000 shares;

·

voting rights equal to common stock on an as-converted basis; and

·

automatically converts to 1,500,000 shares of common stock upon the closing of this offering.

Series C Preferred Stock.   As of November 10, 2012, there were 760,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding.     

The Series C Preferred Stock has the following terms:

·

annual dividend of $0.16 cumulative dividend per share accrues and is payable quarterly;

·

liquidation preference of $2.00 per share with priority over common stock;

·

convertible into common stock at $2.00 per share for a total of 760,000 shares;

·

voting rights equal to common stock on an as-converted basis; and

·

automatically converts to 760,000 shares of common stock upon the closing of this offering.

Common stock purchase warrants

$5.00 warrants. Up to 862,500 warrants to purchase one share of common stock at $5.00 per share, including 112,500 warrants subject to our Underwriter exercising its overallotment option, are issuable upon the purchase of units in this offering and are being registered by this prospectus.  The warrants expire one year from the date of issuance.  The Underwriter’s overallotment option provides for the issuance of 112,500 warrants, 100,000 of which will be backed by the common stock held by a selling stockholder.  The proceeds from the exercise of the outstanding warrants will first go to the Company.  After the Company has issued 762,500 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of warrants, any additional proceeds will go to the selling stockholder.  

Underwriter’s warrants.  We have agreed to issue to our Underwriter at the closing of this offering, for nominal consideration, warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock.  These warrants will be exercisable for a four year period commencing on the first anniversary of the closing date of this offering at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. These warrants will be restricted from sale, transfer, assignment or hypothecation for a period of one year from the closing of this offering, except to officers of our Underwriter and broker-dealers participating in this offering and their officers and partners, and except transfers by operation of law or by reason of our reorganization.

Indemnification of directors and officers  

Our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Delaware law. We have agreed to indemnify our executive officers and directors for all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by them in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which they are made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer, if (a) they acted honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests, and (b) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, they had reasonable grounds for believing that their conduct was lawful.  



- 38 -


These indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our directors, officers and controlling persons for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. To the extent that our directors, officers and controlling persons are indemnified under the provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, Delaware law or contractual arrangements against liabilities arising under the Securities Act, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.  

Transfer agent and registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock and warrants is Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., Denver, Colorado.

Shares eligible for future sale

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for any of our securities. Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock and warrants in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market prices of our common stock and warrants.

We are registering in this prospectus 1,725,000 shares of common stock, 862,500 warrants to purchase common stock at $5.00 per share, and 862,500 shares of common stock underlying the warrants to purchase common stock.   

By separate prospectus we are also registering:

·

6,460,000 shares of common stock underlying our Series A, B and C Preferred Stock; and

·

1,450,000 shares of common stock.

Accordingly, up to 2,587,500 shares of common stock being sold under this prospectus (including 862,500 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of common stock warrants) and up to 8,360,000 shares of our common stock, including 6,460,000 issuable under conversion of our Series A, B and C Preferred Stock, will be free trading and may be sold at any time, except as limited by lockup agreements with our Underwriter as discussed below.

In addition to the shares being registered in this offering, we have issued our Underwriter 150,000 warrants in connection with this offering. The warrants are exercisable beginning one year after the close of this offering and the underlying 150,000 common shares issuable upon exercise will be available for future sale.

Stock options

We intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register shares of common stock issuable under our equity compensation plan. At November 10, 2012 there were 1,022,000 stock options outstanding under the plan to purchase an equal number of shares of common stock at $2.00 per share. At November 10, 2012 there were an additional 1,440,000 nonqualified performance stock options outstanding that were not issued under our equity compensation plan.

The registration statement on Form S-8 is expected to be filed not sooner than 90 days following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and will be effective upon filing. Shares issued upon the exercise of stock options after the effective date of the Form S-8 registration statement will be eligible for resale in the public market without restriction, subject to limitations applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

Lockup agreements

Our officers, directors and a selling stockholder who beneficially own 2,479,695 shares of common stock, including 630,000 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to vested stock options, and 287,195 shares issuable upon conversion of Series A, B and C Preferred Stock, have agreed with our Underwriter not to sell their shares of



- 39 -


common stock for 13 months from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part without the written consent of our Underwriter.  

Underwriting

Subject to the terms and conditions of an underwriting agreement, Gilford Securities Incorporated has agreed to purchase 1,500,000 units from us at a price of $5.10 per unit.  Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one half (1/2) common stock purchase warrant which may be exercised to purchase one share of our common stock at $5.00 per share for a period of one year.  The underwriting agreement will provide that our Underwriter is committed to purchase all units offered in this offering, other than those covered by the over-allotment option described below.  The resale by our stockholders of up to 6,460,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of Series A, B and C Preferred Stock and 1,450,000 shares of our common stock, will not be offered for sale through our Underwriter but will be registered pursuant to a separate prospectus covering such securities being filed with the SEC simultaneously with the filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.  In the underwriting agreement, our Underwriter’s obligations are subject to approval of certain legal matters by its counsel, including, without limitation, the authorization and validity of the shares, and of various other customary conditions, representations and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, such as receipt by our Underwriter of officers’ certificates and legal opinions of our counsel.

We have granted to the Underwriter an option, exercisable for 45 days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to 225,000 additional units at the public offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus, less underwriting discounts and commissions.  The Underwriter may exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the offering of the units offered by this prospectus.  Of the 225,000 units, 200,000 are being sold by the selling stockholder.  If our Underwriter exercises its over-allotment option, the first 25,000 units will be units sold to the Underwriter by the Company, and the remaining 200,000 will be units sold to the Underwriter by the selling stockholder.

Commissions and discounts

The following table sets forth the public offering price and underwriting discount to be paid by us to our Underwriter and the proceeds, before expenses, to us. This information assumes either no exercise or full exercise by our Underwriter of its over-allotment option.

(2)  

We have agreed to pay our Underwriter a non-accountable expense allowance of 3% of the gross proceeds of the proposed offering, including shares sold on exercise of the over-allotment option. We will not receive proceeds from the sale of 200,000 units offered by a selling stockholder and the selling stockholder is responsible for the Underwriter discount and non-accountable expense allowance resulting from the sale of those units.  We have paid our Underwriter $25,000 as an advance against this non-accountable expense allowance.

(3)  

We estimate that the expenses of this offering payable by us, not including underwriting discounts and commissions and non-accountable expense allowance will be approximately $258,500.




- 40 -


Warrants

We have agreed to issue to our Underwriter at the closing of this offering, for nominal consideration, warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock.  These warrants will be exercisable for a period of 48 months commencing on the first anniversary of the closing date of this offering at an exercise price equal to 120% of the price of our common stock offered by this prospectus, or $6.00 per share. These warrants will be restricted from sale, transfer, assignment or hypothecation for a period of 12 months from the closing of this offering, except to officers of our Underwriter and broker-dealers participating in this offering and their officers and partners, and except transfers by operation of law or by reason of our reorganization.

These warrants contain provisions for appropriate adjustment in the event of any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split or similar transaction. The warrants do not entitle our Underwriter or a permissible transferee to any rights as a stockholder until the warrants are exercised and shares of our common stock are purchased pursuant to the exercise of the warrants.

These warrants and the shares of our common stock issuable upon their exercise may not be offered for sale except in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act.  We have agreed that if we file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, our Underwriter will have the right, for a period of seven years from the closing date of this offering, commencing one year from the closing date of this offering, to include in such registration statement the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.  In addition, we have agreed to register the shares of common stock underlying the warrants under certain circumstances upon the request of a majority of the holders of the warrants during the period commencing one year from the closing date of this offering and expiring 48 months thereafter.  

Electronic distribution; directed share program

Our Underwriter has advised us that it will not engage in any electronic offer, sale or distribution of our units.  Neither we nor our Underwriter will use any third party to host or provide access to our preliminary prospectus on the Internet.

We will not have a directed unit program for our employees.

Price stabilization, short positions and penalty bids

Until the distribution of the units is completed, Securities and Exchange Commission rules may limit our Underwriter from bidding for and purchasing our common stock and warrants. In connection with this offering, however, our Underwriter may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  

·

Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.

·

Over-allotment involves sales by our Underwriter of units in excess of the number of units our Underwriter is obligated to purchase, which creates a short position.  The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position.  In a covered short position, the number of units over-allotted by our Underwriter is not greater than the number of units that it may purchase in the over-allotment option.  In a naked short position, the number of units involved is greater than the number of units in the over-allotment option.  Our Underwriter may close out any covered short position by either exercising its over-allotment option or purchasing common stock or warrants in the open market.

·

Covering transactions involve the purchase of common stock and warrants in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover short positions.  In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, our Underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which it may purchase units through the over-allotment option.  If our Underwriter sells more units than could be covered by the over-allotment option (a naked short position) the position can only be closed out by buying common stock or warrants in the open



- 41 -


market.  A naked short position is more likely to be created if our Underwriter is concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the common stock or warrants in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering.

·

Penalty bids permit our Underwriter to reclaim a selling concession from a selected dealer when the unit originally sold by the selected dealer is purchased in a stabilizing covering transaction to cover short positions .

These stabilizing transactions, covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock and warrants or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock and warrants.  As a result, the price of our common stock and warrants may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market.  Neither we nor our Underwriter makes any prediction or any representation as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock and warrants. Neither we nor our Underwriter makes any representation that our Underwriter will engage in these transactions.  These transactions may be effected on the NYSE MKT Exchange or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued without notice at any time.

Lockup arrangements

Our officers and directors who beneficially own 1,062,195 shares of common stock, including 600,000 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to vested stock options, and 287,195 shares issuable upon conversion of Series A, B and C Preferred Stock, have agreed with our Underwriter not to sell their shares of common stock for 13 months from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part without the written consent of our Underwriter.   Of these shares, 531,097 shares of Common Stock are eligible for early relief from the lockup if our Common Stock trades at or above $10 per share for 10 consecutive trading days commencing six months from the effective date of this offering.

A selling stockholder who beneficially own 1,117,500 shares of common stock, including 30,000 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to vested stock options have agreed with our Underwriter not to sell its shares of common stock for 13 months from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part without the written consent of our Underwriter.  

Our Underwriter has no present intention to waive or shorten the lockup period.  The granting of any waiver of release would be conditioned, in the judgment of our Underwriter, on such sale not materially adversely impacting the prevailing trading market for our common stock on the NYSE MKT Exchange. Specifically, factors such as average trading volume, recent price trends and the need for additional public float in the market for our common stock and warrants would be considered in evaluating such a request to waive or shorten the lockup period.

Following the expiration of the lockup period, all 2,179,695 shares of common stock, including 630,000 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to vested stock options, and 287,195 shares issuable upon conversion of Series A, B and C Preferred Stock beneficially held by our officers and directors will be available for sale by such persons subject to holding period restrictions on sale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.  We have registered the resale of these shares by a separate prospectus.

Board of Directors observation rights

For a period of three years after the date of this prospectus, our Underwriter has the right to appoint an observer reasonably acceptable to us to attend all meetings of our Board of Directors. We will reimburse this person for expenses incurred in attending any meeting.

Indemnification  

We have agreed to indemnify our Underwriter and its controlling persons against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or to contribute to payments that our Underwriter may be required to make for such liabilities. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to



- 42 -


directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Legal Matters

The validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed on for us by Howard J. Kern, PC, Pacific Palisades, California. Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP, Denver, Colorado, is representing our Underwriter.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Heatwurx, Inc.

Greenwood Village, Colorado

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities and divisional net equity of the predecessor carve-out entity to Heatwurx, Inc. (the “Company” or “Successor”) a development stage company, as of December 31, 2010 and the related statements of operations, divisional net equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from January 1, 2009 (date of inception) to April 15, 2011 and the balance sheet of the successor entity, Heatwurx, Inc., as of December 31, 2011 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from April 16, 2011 (date of incorporation) to December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statements of assets, liabilities and divisional net equity as of December 31, 2010 and the related statements of operations, divisional net equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from January 1, 2009 (date of inception) to December 31, 2010 and to April 15, 2011 of the predecessor carve-out entity to Heatwurx, Inc. were prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the registration statement on Form S-1 of Heatwurx, Inc.).

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the predecessor carve-out entity to Heatwurx, Inc. at December 31, 2010, and the financial position of Heatwurx, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and the results of the predecessor carve-out entity to Heatwurx, Inc. operations and cash flows for year ended December 31, 2010 and for the period from January 1, 2009 (date of inception) to December 31, 2010 and to April 15, 2011 and the results of operations of Heatwurx, Inc. for the period from April 16, 2011 (date of incorporation) to December 31, 2011 , in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Information as of September 30, 2012 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and for the period from April 16, 2011

(date of incorporation) through September 30, 2011is unaudited)


1.

          PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITIES:

Organization and Business – Heatwurx, Inc. (“Heatwurx”, the “Company” or the “Successor”) is a development stage, asphalt repair equipment and technology company. Heatwurx was incorporated on March 29, 2011 as Heatwurxaq, Inc. and subsequently changed its name to Heatwurx, Inc. on April 15, 2011.  (Note 4)

As there was no financial activity subsequent to the date of incorporation on March 29, 2011 through April 15, 2011, the Company is using April 16, 2011 as the date of incorporation for the purpose of these financial statements and footnotes (other than the Company’s Statement of Stockholders’ Equity which includes the common stock issued upon the Company’s actual incorporation date of March 29, 2011).  

Development Stage – From the date of incorporation, the Company has been in the development stage and therefore is classified as a development stage company.  

Interim Financial Statements – The accompanying unaudited financial statements has been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements. Accordingly, it does not include all the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of this financial information have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the period ended December 31, 2011. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ended December 31, 2012.

Predecessor Carve-Out Financial Statements – On April 15, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with an individual who is a current stockholder of the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company purchased the related business and activities of the design, manufacture and distribution of asphalt repair machinery under the Heatwurx brand. The assets acquired represent Heatwurx’s predecessor under Rule 405 of the Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the assets acquired represent the acquisition of a business and Heatwurx’s own operations were insignificant relative to the operations acquired. The accompanying predecessor financial statements present the full carve-out financial position, the relative revenues earned and expenses incurred, and the cash flows of the predecessor owner relative to the assets acquired.

Subsequent to the acquisition, the successor financial statements present the financial position, operations and cash flows of the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and operations of the assets acquired as well as those  acquired subsequently and are reflected at their purchase-date fair values. Those fair values are reflected as the cost of the assets acquired and the carrying amounts of the liabilities assumed, and are the basis of the resulting operations of the successor.

Prior to the acquisition of the predecessor assets, Heatwurx had minimal activity and was a development stage company. Its planned operations were to purchase the assets acquired and develop the business using the assets acquired. Heatwurx had no revenue for the period from incorporation on March 29, 2011 to the date of acquisition of the assets on April 15, 2011.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Presentation – These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.



F-8



The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company also faces certain risks and uncertainties which are present in many emerging companies regarding product development, future profitability, ability to obtain future capital, protection of patents and property rights, competition, rapid technological change, government regulations, recruiting and retaining key personnel, and third party manufacturing organizations.

Successful completion of the Company’s development program and its transition to profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining additional financing adequate to fulfill its development and commercialization activities, and achieve a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.  Management believes that current cash and other sources of liquidity are sufficient to fund planned operations through at least December 31, 2012.

Many of the Company’s objectives to establish profitable business operations rely upon the occurrence of events outside its control; there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing these objectives.  

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2012. At times, the Company may have cash balances above the FDIC insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

Property and Equipment – Property and equipment consist of equipment, computer equipment and software and are stated at cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of three years using a straight line depreciation methodology.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets – The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets to determine potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets with the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets, including cash flows from disposition, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment may exist.  Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying value, the Company would recognize an impairment loss at that date.  An impairment loss would be measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value (estimated discounted future cash flows) of the long-lived assets.  There were no impairment charges for the period from April 16, 2011 (Date of Incorporation) through December 31, 2011.

Intangible Assets – Intangible assets consist of in-process research and development acquired as part of an acquisition. During development, in-process research and development is not subject to amortization and is tested for impairment. On completion of the project, in-process research and development are classified to developed technology and amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company accounts for the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award, determined on the date of grant. The expense is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and makes revisions, if necessary, at each reporting period if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company estimated future unvested forfeitures at 0% for the period ended September 30, 2012.

Advertising Expense – The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred and such costs were not material for the period of March 29, 2011 (Date of Incorporation) through December 31, 2011.

Income Taxes – The Company and its predecessor accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes.



F-9



The provision for income taxes includes federal and state income taxes currently payable and deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

With respect to uncertain tax positions, the Company would recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits to be recognized in the financial statements from such a position would be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.  

Revenue Recognition – The Company sells its equipment (HWX-30 heater and HWX-AP-40 asphalt processor), as well as certain consumables, such as rejuvenation oil, to third parties.  Equipment sales revenue is recognized when equipment is shipped to our customer and collection is reasonably assured.

Other revenue represents revenue earned by the Company for the rental of certain equipment.

Interest income is recognized as earned, over the term of the investment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the Company is required to provide disclosure and categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used in the valuation. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined as follows:

·

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,

·

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date,

·

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use to price the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

The carrying amount of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents and interest payable approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of such instruments. The senior secured and senior subordinated notes payable approximates the fair value of such instrument based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangement at September 30, 2012. The Company does not have any fair value instruments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis, consequently, the Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at September 30, 2012, nor gains or losses reported in the statement of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2011-04”), which amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), providing a consistent definition and measurement of fair value, as well as similar disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles, clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement and expands the disclosure requirements. ASU 2011-04 became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 20): Presentation of Comprehensive Income , which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2011. ASU 2011-05 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. In addition, items of other comprehensive income that are reclassified to profit or loss are required to be presented separately on the face of the financial statements. This guidance is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements by requiring that such amounts be presented either in a single continuous statement of income and comprehensive income or separately in consecutive statements of income and comprehensive income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.



F-10



In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment (“ASU 2011-08”), which amends the guidance in ASC 350-20, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other – Goodwill . ASU 2011-08 provides entities with the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit when testing goodwill for impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined, based on qualitative factors, to be more-likely-than-not less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit, the entities are required to perform a two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

Subsequent Events – The Company performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date of this filing.

ACQUISITION:

On April 15, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with an individual who is a current stockholder. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company purchased the related business and activities of the design, manufacture and distribution of asphalt repair machinery under the Heatwurx brand. The total purchase price was $2,500,000. The purchase price was paid in a $1,500,000 cash payment and the issuance of a senior subordinated note to the seller in the amount of $1,000,000. (Note 5)

The business essentially consisted of the investment in research and development of the technology, the patents applied for as a result of the research and development activities and certain distribution relationships that were in process, but not finalized as of the acquisition date.  Collectively, these investments constitute the in-process research and development we refer to as the “asphalt preservation and repair solution”.  The Company capitalized $2,500,000 of in-process research and development related to this asphalt preservation and repair solution. Upon completion, the related in-process research and development asset will be amortized over its estimated useful life. The estimated fair value of the in-process research and development was determined using the income approach.  Under the income approach, the expected future cash flows from the asset are estimated and discounted to its net present value at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate of return.

In conjunction with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company granted 200,000 performance stock options to a founder of the Company with an exercise price of $0.40 per share and a term of 7 years. Following the effectiveness of the 7 for 1 stock split that was completed in October 2011, the 200,000 performance stock options were exchanged for 1,400,000 performance stock options with an exercise price of $0.057 per share.

The performance stock options will vest in full on the occurrence of any the following: (1) The Company achieves total revenue in year 2013 of $24,750,000 determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States; (2) the Company achieves total revenue in year 2014 of $49,500,000; or (3) the Company achieves total revenue in year 2015 of $99,000,000. If the performance stock options do not vest per the aforementioned vesting schedule, the performance stock options will immediately terminate and expire.

The performance stock options are being accounted for as contingent consideration and were recognized at its estimated fair value at the acquisition date in the amount of $0.

            INCOME TAXES:

The Company and its predecessor files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the state of Utah. There are currently no income tax examinations underway for these jurisdictions since December 31, 2012 is the initial tax filing period.

The Company provides deferred income taxes for differences between the tax reporting bases and the financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities. The Company had no unrecognized income tax benefits. Should the Company incur interest and penalties relating to tax uncertainties, such amounts would be classified as a component of interest expense and operating expense, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits are not expected to increase or decrease within the next twelve months.

Deferred Income Taxes – The Company does not recognize the deferred income tax asset at this time because the realization of the asset is less likely than not. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has net operating losses for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $725,680 and $725,580, respectively, which are available for application against future taxable income and which will start expiring in 2031 and 2026, respectively. The benefit



F-12



associated with the net operating loss carry forward will more likely than not go unrealized unless a future operation is successful. Since the success of future operations is indeterminable, the potential benefits resulting from these net operating losses have not been recorded in the financial statements.

            STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

Common Stock – The Company has authorized 20,000,000 common shares with a $0.0001 par value. As of September 30, 2012 there were 1,750,000 common shares outstanding.

Preferred Stock – The Company has authorized 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a $0.0001 par value. As of September 30, 2012, 600,000 shares were designated as Series A Preferred Stock, 1,500,000 shares were designated as Series B Preferred Stock and 760,000 shares were designated as Series C Preferred stock.

Series A Preferred Stock   – As of September 30, 2012 there were 600,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.

The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior in liquidation and dividend preferences to the Company’s common stock. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock accrue dividends at the rate per annum of $0.066664. At September 30, 2012, Series A Preferred Stock had dividends accumulated of approximately $58,518.  No dividends have been declared, therefore there are no amounts accrued on the balance sheet.

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have conversion rights equivalent to such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the Series A original issue price of $0.8333 by the then applicable conversion price. The conversion ratio is subject to customary antidilution adjustments, including in the event that the Company issues equity securities at a price equivalent to less than the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such issue.

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference over the holders of the Company’s common stock equivalent to the purchase price per share of the Series A Preferred Stock plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, on the Series A Preferred Stock. A liquidation would be deemed to occur upon the happening of customary events, including transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s common stock or assets or a merger, or consolidation. The Company believes that such liquidation events are within its control and therefore has classified the Series A Preferred Stock in stockholders’ equity.

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock vote together as a single class with the holders of the Company’s common stock on all action to be taken by the Company’s stockholders. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock entitles the holder to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the



F-13



shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter.

In connection with the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company entered into an Investors’ Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”). The Rights Agreement provides that holders of at least 40% of the Series A Preferred Stock, including common stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock has been converted, may demand and cause the Company to register a Form S-1 or Form S-3, if eligible, on their behalf for the shares of common stock issued, issuable or that may be issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Registrable Securities”). Whenever required under this agreement to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective.

Series B Preferred Stock As of September 30, 2012 there were 1,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding.

The Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior in liquidation and dividend preferences to the Company’s common stock. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock accrue dividends at the rate per annum of $0.16 per share. At September 30, 2012, Series B Preferred Stock had dividends accumulated of approximately $227,507.  No dividends have been declared, therefore there are no amounts accrued on the balance sheet.

The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock have conversion rights equivalent to such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the Series B original issue price of $2.00 by the then applicable conversion price. The conversion ratio is subject to customary antidilution adjustments, including in the event that the Company issues equity securities at a price equivalent to less than the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such issue.

The holders of Series B Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference over the holders of the Company’s common stock equivalent to the purchase price per share of the Series B Preferred Stock plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, on the Series B Preferred Stock. A liquidation would be deemed to occur upon the happening of customary events, including transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s common stock or assets or a merger, or consolidation. The Company believes that such liquidation events are within its control and therefore the Company has classified the Series B Preferred Stock in stockholders’ equity.

The holders of Series B Preferred Stock vote together as a single class with the holders of the Company’s common stock on all action to be taken by the Company’s stockholders. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock entitles the holder to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter.

In connection with the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock, the Company entered into an Investors’ Rights Agreement with the same terms and conditions as the Rights Agreement for the Series A Preferred Stock described above.

Series C Preferred Stock As of September 30, 2012 there were 760,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding.

The Series C Preferred Stock ranks senior in liquidation and dividend preferences to the Company’s common stock. Holders of Series C Preferred Stock accrue dividends at the rate per annum of $0.16 per share. At September 30, 2012, Series C Preferred Stock had dividends accumulated of approximately $19,323.  As dividends are accrued and payable quarterly on the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company has accrued $19,323 for dividends payable in accrued expenses as of September 30, 2012.

The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock have conversion rights equivalent to such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the Series C original issue price of $2.00 by the then applicable conversion price. The conversion ratio is subject to customary antidilution adjustments, including in the event that the Company issues equity securities at a price equivalent to less than the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such issue.

The holders of Series C Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference over the holders of the Company’s common stock equivalent to the purchase price per share of the Series C Preferred Stock plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, on the Series C Preferred Stock. A liquidation would be deemed to



F-14



occur upon the happening of customary events, including transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s common stock or assets or a merger, or consolidation. The Company believes that such liquidation events are within its control and therefore the Company has classified the Series C Preferred Stock in stockholders’ equity.

The holders of Series B Preferred Stock vote together as a single class with the holders of the Company’s common stock on all action to be taken by the Company’s stockholders. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock entitles the holder to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the shares of the Series C Preferred Stock are convertible into as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter.

In connection with the issuance of Series C Preferred Stock, the Company entered into an Investors’ Rights Agreement with the same terms and conditions as the Rights Agreement for the Series A Preferred Stock described above.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE:

The Company computes loss per share of common stock using the two-class method required for participating securities.  Our participating securities include all series of our convertible preferred stock.  Undistributed earning allocated to these participating securities are added to net loss in determining net loss attributable to common stockholders.  Basic and Diluted loss per share are computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholder by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding.  No calculation was performed for the predecessor company as there was no common stock outstanding for the periods presented.

Outstanding options to purchase 1,212,000 (including 30,000 vested performance options) of common stock were outstanding for the periods ended September 30, 2012 and outstanding options to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock were outstanding for the period from April 16, 2011 through December 31, 2011, but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the years then ended because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive.  There were no options outstanding for the period from April 16, 2011 (incorporation) through September 30, 2011.


The calculation of the numerator and denominator for basic and diluted net loss per common share is as follows:

 

For the period from April 16, 2011 (incorporation) through September 30, 2012



For the nine months ended September 30, 2012

You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Heatwurx, Inc.

General

Heatwurx, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 29, 2011 as Heatwurxaq, Inc. and subsequently changed its name to Heatwurx, Inc. on April 15, 2011. Our founders were Larry Griffin and David Eastman, the principals of Hunter Capital Group, LLC, an investment banking entity, which acquired our technology, equipment designs, trademarks, and patent applications from Richard Giles, the inventor in April 2011.  In connection with the acquisition, we raised $1,500,000 in senior secured debt and $500,000 through the offering of Series A Preferred Stock to three investors.  In October 2011, we completed a 7-1 forward stock split and raised gross proceeds of $3,000,000 through the sale of our Series B Preferred Stock.  In August 2012, we raised gross proceeds of $1,520,000 through the sale of our Series C Preferred Stock.  In August 2012, the proceeds from the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock were used to repay our secured debt. 

We have not yet fully commercialized our products and we are therefore classified as a developmental stage enterprise.

We are an Original Equipment Manufacturer of Asphalt preservation and repair equipment.  Our innovative, and eco-friendly hot-in-place recycling process corrects surface distresses within the top three inches of existing pavement by heating the surface material in excess of 300 ° Fahrenheit with our electrically powered infrared heating equipment, mechanically loosening the heated material with our processor/tiller attachment that is optimized for producing a seamless repair, and mixing in additional recycled asphalt pavement and a binder (asphalt-cement), and then compacting repaired area with a vibrating roller or compactor.  We consider our equipment to be eco-friendly as the Heatwurx process reuses and rejuvenates distressed asphalt, uses recycled asphalt pavement for filler material, eliminates travel to and from asphalt batch plants, and extends the life of the roadway.  We believe our equipment, technology and processes provide savings over other processes that can be more labor and equipment intensive.

Our hot-in-place recycling process and equipment has been selected by the Technology Implementation Group of the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO TIG) as an “additionally Selected Technology” for the year 2012. We develop, manufacture and intend to sell our unique and innovative and eco-friendly equipment to federal, state and local agencies as well as contractors for the repair and rehabilitation of damaged and deteriorated asphalt surfaces.

Our executive offices are located at 6041 South Syracuse Way, Suite 315, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111 and our telephone number is (303) 532-1641.  Our website is www.heatwurx.com.

No underwriting arrangements exist as of the date of this prospectus to sell any common stock on behalf of the selling stockholders.  Upon being advised of any underwriting arrangements that may be entered into by a selling stockholder after the date of this prospectus, we will prepare a supplement to this prospectus to disclose those arrangements.

The selling stockholder may, from time to time, sell all or a portion of their shares of common stock  at fixed prices that may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such market prices or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholder may offer our common stock at various times in one or more of the following transactions:

·

on any national securities exchange, or other market on which our common stock may be listed at the time of sale;

·

in the over-the-counter market;

·

through block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;  

·

through purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;

·

in ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

·

through options, swaps or derivatives;

·

in privately negotiated transactions;

·

in transactions to cover short sales; and

·

through a combination of any such methods of sale.



SS-7





In addition, the selling stockholder may also sell common stock pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 under the requirements of such rule, if available, rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

The selling stockholder may sell our common stock directly to purchasers or may use brokers, dealers, Underwriter or agents to sell our common stock upon terms and conditions that will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. In effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from a selling stockholder or, if any such broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of such common stock , from such purchaser in amounts to be negotiated. Such compensation may, but is not expected to, exceed that which is customary for the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree to sell a specified number of such common stock at a stipulated price per share, and, to the extent such broker-dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for us or a selling stockholder, to purchase as principal any unsold common stock at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment. Broker-dealers who acquire common stock as principal may thereafter resell such common stock from time to time in transactions, which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise at prices and on terms prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. In connection with such resales, broker-dealers may pay to or receive from the purchasers of such common stock commissions as described above.

The selling stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with them in sales of the common stock are deemed to be "Underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with such sales. Accordingly, any commissions received by such broker dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the common stock  purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933.

From time to time the selling stockholder, other than officers, directors, and affiliates of the Company, may be engaged in short sales, short sales against the box, puts and calls and other hedging transactions in our securities, and may sell and deliver the common stock in connection with such transactions or in settlement of securities loans. These transactions may be entered into with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In addition, from time to time, a selling stockholder may pledge its common stock pursuant to the margin provisions of its customer agreements with its broker-dealer. Upon delivery of the common stock or a default by a selling stockholder, the broker-dealer or financial institution may offer and sell the pledged common stock from time to time. Our officers, directors and a selling stockholder who beneficially own 2,479,695 shares of common stock, including 630,000 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to vested stock options, and 287,195 shares issuable upon conversion of Series A, B and C Preferred Stock, have agreed with our Underwriter not to sell their shares of common stock for 13 months from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part without the written consent of our Underwriter.

Item 14.  Indemnification of directors and officers

The Delaware Revised Statutes provide that a corporation may indemnify its officers and directors against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in the event an officer or director is made a party or threatened to be made a party to an action (other than an action brought by or on behalf of the corporation as discussed below) by reason of his or her official position with the corporation provided the director or officer (1) is not liable for the breach of any fiduciary duties as a director or officer involving intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law or (2) acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal actions, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.  The Delaware Revised Statutes further provide that a corporation generally may not indemnify an officer or director if it is determined by a court that such officer or director is liable to the corporation or responsible for any amounts paid to the corporation as a settlement, unless a court also determines that the officer or director is entitled to indemnification in light of all of the relevant facts and circumstances. The Delaware Revised Statutes require a corporation to indemnify an officer or director to the extent he or she is successful on the merits or otherwise successfully defends the action.

Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Delaware law.  These indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our officers and directors for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities Act. We have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification of directors or officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy and, therefore, such indemnification provisions may be unenforceable.  The Underwriting Agreement, attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto, provides for indemnification of the registrant’s Underwriter and its officers and directors for certain liabilities, including matters arising under the Securities Act.







Item 15.  Recent sales of unregistered securities

No underwriters were involved in the following issuances of securities.

The offers, sales and issuances of the securities described below were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) and Rules 505 and 506 of Regulation D in that the issuance of securities to the accredited investors and fewer than 35 non-accredited investors did not involve a public offering. The recipients of securities in each of these transactions acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to the securities issued in these transactions. Fewer than 35 non-accredited investors invested in the securities offered by us.  Each of the non-accredited investors were provided with information required by Regulation D.  

The offers, sales and issuances of the securities described under Plan-Related Issuances below were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 701 in that the transactions were under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701, as applicable, and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The recipients of such securities were our employees, directors or bona-fide consultants and received the securities under the 2011 Plan. Appropriate legends were affixed to the securities issued in these transactions. Each of the recipients of securities in these transactions had adequate access, through employment, business or other relationships, to information about the Company.

Item 17.  Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:  

1.

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

i.

To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

ii.

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

iii.

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

2.

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of this offering.

3.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to our Underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by our Underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

4.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the registrant by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.  

5.

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance under Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

6.

 For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.









Signatures

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the City of Greenwood Village, State of Colorado, on November 14, 2012.

For reference to the Sections of this Agreement in which certain terms used herein are defined, see Section 7.14 on page 14. Buyer has been organized by the stockholders of Buyer, including Larry C.

ARTICLE II REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

2.1 Representations and Warranties of Seller . Seller hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Buyer:

2.1.1 Authority: Governmental Authorization . Seller has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions provided for in this Agreement (the "Transaction"). This Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Seller enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and except that the availability of the equitable remedies of specific performance and injunctive relief are subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding may be brought. No declaration, filing, or registration with, or notice to, or authorization, consent, or approval of, any governmental or regulatory body or authority, other than those which are referred to in this Agreement or have been obtained, is necessary for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller or the consummation by Seller of the Transaction.

2.1.2 Litigation . No litigation, claim, proceeding or governmental investigation is pending for which Seller has been served or otherwise notified or, to the best knowledge of Seller, threatened or asserted against Seller, or Seller's properties or business including, but not limited to, claims, litigation or proceedings under product and/or services warranties or guarantees. There are no orders, judgments or decrees of any court or of any governmental agency or instrumentality (whether federal, state, local or foreign) to which Seller is a party which specifically apply to Seller or any of its properties, assets or operations. There is no litigation pending against any other person by Seller.

2.1.3 Compliance with Laws and Orders . Seller has complied with all laws, regulations, and orders applicable to him and to his assets or the conduct of his business. Seller has not received notice of any alleged violation of any laws, regulations or orders relating to Seller, the Acquired Assets or the conduct of Business.

2.1.4 Contracts and Commitments: Absence of Defaults: Violation of Agreements. Schedule 2.1.4 attached hereto contains a list of all of the contracts or agreements relating to the Business to which Seller is a party or by which Seller or any of the Acquired Assets is subject or bound ("Col/tracts").

under any of the Contracts or result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance upon the Acquired Assets. True and correct copies of the Contracts have been delivered to Buyer.

5.2 Indemnification by Seller . From and after the Closing and subject to the limitations of this Article V, Seller will indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its officers, directors, stockholders, employees and agents (collectively, the "Buyer Indemnified Parties") from, for, and against any Losses incurred by a Buyer Indemnified Party by reason of or arising out of (a) any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Seller made in this Agreement, (b) any breach of a covenant by Seller in this Agreement, or (c) any obligations or liabilities of Seller other than the Accepted Liabilities.

5.5 Procedure Relating to Claims .

5.5.1 Notice of Claim . The indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the proposed claim for indemnification within sixty (60) calendar days after the indemnified party reasonably becomes aware of the facts or circumstances upon which the claim may be based (the "Claim Notice"); provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

5.5.2 Third-Party Claims . The indemnified party shall give notice to the indemnifying party, in accordance with Section 5.5.1, of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder (a "Third-Party Claim").

indemnified party under insurance policies with respect to such loss, liability, claim, damage, expense or Tax. Any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, as applicable, for Tax purposes, unless a final determination with respect to the indemnified party or any of its affiliates causes any such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, as applicable for United States federal income tax purposes.

5.7 Setoff Against Senior Subordinated Note . Buyer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to setoff against any principal or interest payments to be made by Buyer pursuant to the Senior Subordinated Note, the amount of any Losses for which Seller may be liable to Buyer pursuant to Section 5.2

Right to Convert.

5.1.1

Conversion Ratio .  Each share of Series A Preferred Stock, each share of Series B Preferred Stock, and each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Series A Original Issue Price, the Series B Original Issuance Price, or the Series C Original Issuance Price, as the case may be, by the then applicable Conversion Price, defined and determined as hereinafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion.   The current Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock is $.119047 per share.   The initial conversion price per share for Series B Preferred Stock shall be the Series B Original Issue Price.  The initial conversion price per share for Series C Preferred Stock shall be the Series C Original Issue Price.  Such Conversion Prices shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided.  As of the date hereof, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock will receive seven shares, one share, and one share of Common Stock, respectively, upon conversion of their shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be.

5.2

5.3

Mechanics of Conversion .

5.3.1

Notice of Conversion .  In order for a holder of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, or the Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that such holder elects to convert all or any number of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, represented by such certificate or certificates and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent.  Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued.  If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing.  The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) of such certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) and notice shall be the time of conversion (the “ Conversion Time ”), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares represented by such certificate shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date.  The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, (i) issue and deliver to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and a certificate for the number (if any) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Stock, (ii) pay in cash such amount as provided in Subsection 5.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and (iii) pay all declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, converted.

5.3.2

Reservation of Shares .  The Corporation shall at all times when the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation.  Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.

5.3.3

Effect of Conversion .  All shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor, to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversion as provided in Subsection 5.2 and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon.  Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and/or Series C Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and/or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, accordingly.

5.3.4

No Further Adjustment .  Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made for any declared but unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and/or Series C Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion.

5.3.5

Taxes .  The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and/or Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5 .  The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series B Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.

(b)

If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 5.4.4 , are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this clause  (b) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security, or (ii) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

(c)

If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 5.4.4 (either because the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Subsection 5.4.5 ) of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the Series C Original Issue Date), are revised after the Series C Original Issue Date as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Subsection 5.4.3(a) ) shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.

(d)

Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 5.4.4 , the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained had such Option or Convertible Security (or portion thereof) never been issued.  

(e)

If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the Conversion Price provided for in this Subsection 5.4.3 shall be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in clauses (b) and (c) of this Subsection 5.4.3 ) .  If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to the Conversion Price that would result under the terms of this Subsection 5.4.3 at the time of such issuance or amendment shall instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming for purposes of calculating such adjustment to the Conversion Price that such issuance or amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.  

5.4.4

Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock .  In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Series C Original Issue Date issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Subsection 5.4.3 ), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:

CP 2 = CP 1 * (A + B) ÷ (A + C).

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

(a)

“CP 2 ” shall mean the Conversion Price in effect immediately after such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;

(b)

“CP 1 ” shall mean the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;

(c)

“A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options outstanding immediately prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (including the Preferred Stock) outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding Options therefor) immediately prior to such issue);

(d)

“B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Shares of Common Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to CP 1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such issue by CP 1 ); and

(e)

“C” shall mean the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such transaction.

5.4.5

Determination of Consideration .  For purposes of this Subsection 5.4 , the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

(a)

Cash and Property :  Such consideration shall:

(i)

insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest;

(ii)

insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation; and

(iii)

in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

(b)

Options and Convertible Securities .  The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Subsection 5.4.3 , relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing

(i)

the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by

(ii)

the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

5.4.6

Multiple Closing Dates .  In the event the Corporation shall issue on more than one date Additional Shares of Common Stock that are a part of one transaction or a series of related transactions and that would result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 5.4.4 , and such issuance dates occur within a period of no more than ninety (90) days from the first such issuance to the final such issuance, then, upon the final such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on the date of the first such issuance (and without giving effect to any additional adjustments as a result of any such subsequent issuances within such period).

5.5

Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations .  If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Series B Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price for the Series B Preferred Stock in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Series C Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price for the Series C Preferred Stock in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Any adjustment under this subsection shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

5.6

Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions .  In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series B Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

5.6.1

the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

5.6.2

the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Subsection as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (b) that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and/or the Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and/or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

5.7

Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions .  In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series C Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property and the provisions of Section 1 do not apply to such dividend or distribution, then and in each such event the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be,  had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

5.8

Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc .  Subject to the provisions of Subsection 3.3 , if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and/or Series C Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Subsections 5.4 , 5.6 or 5.7 ), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation, or merger each share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation, or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 5 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 5 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the respective Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be.

5.9

Written Notice as to Adjustments .  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price for the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5 , the Corporation at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock a written notice setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be (but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a written notice setting forth (a) the respective Conversion Price then in effect, and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be.

5.10

Notice of Record Date .  In the event:

(a)

the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or

(b)

of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation Event; or

(c)

of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation,

then, and in each such case, the Corporation will send or cause to be sent to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, and the Common Stock.  Such notice shall be sent at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.  

6.

Mandatory Conversion .

Trigger Events .  Upon either (a) the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in at least $5,000,000 of gross proceeds to the Corporation (a “ Qualified IPO ”), (b) the payment in full of (i) the Senior Secured Notes of the Corporation in the initial principal amount of $1,500,000 and (ii) the Senior Subordinated Notes of the Corporation in the initial principal amount of $1,000,000, (c) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (d) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, or (e) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock.  All outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective Conversion Price and (ii) such shares may not be reissued by the Corporation upon the occurrence of (a), (b), or (c) above.   All outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective Conversion Price and (ii) such shares may not be reissued by the Corporation upon the occurrence of (a) or (d) above.  All outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective Conversion Price and (ii) such shares may not be reissued by the Corporation upon the occurrence of (a) or (e) above.  The time of such closing or payment in full of such notes or the date and time specified or the time of the event specified in such vote or written consent is referred to herein as the “ Mandatory Conversion Time .”  

6.2

Procedural Requirements .  All holders of record of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 6 .  Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time.  All rights with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock converted pursuant to Section 6.1 , including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time, except only the rights of the holders thereof to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this Subsection 6.2 .  As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time for Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof, together with cash as provided in Subsection 5.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion, and any Accruing Dividends accrued but unpaid on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, converted, whether or not declared, as well as any declared but unpaid dividends thereon, at the election of the Corporation, shall be paid in either cash or additional whole shares of Common Stock (with cash in lieu of fractional shares) valued at the per share price for shares of Common Stock offered to the public in the Qualified IPO, or any combination of the foregoing; provided , that if the Mandatory Conversion does not occur in connection with a Qualified IPO and the Common Stock is not actively traded on a public market, then the amount to be paid shall be determined based on the fair market value of shares of Common Stock as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors.  Such converted Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, accordingly.

7.

Redemption .  The Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock are not redeemable.

8.

9.

Waiver .  Any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms specific to the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, then outstanding, voting as a separate class.  All other rights, powers, preferences and other terms set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock represented by the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock as if all shares of such class or series had been converted into Common Stock.

10.

Notices .  Any notice required or permitted by the provisions of this Article Fourth to be given to a holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the post office address last shown on the records of the Corporation, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law, and shall be deemed sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.

Section 4. Place Of Meetings. Meetings of the stockholders of the corporation may be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as provided under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“ DGCL ”).

Section 5. Annual Meetings.

(a) The annual meeting of the stockholders of the corporation, for the purpose of election of directors and for such other business as may properly come before it, shall be held on such date and at such time as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors.  Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders: (i) pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting of stockholders (with respect to business other than nominations); (ii) brought specifically by or at the direction of the Board of Directors; or (iii) by any stockholder of the corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving the stockholder’s notice provided for in Section 5(b) below, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in Section 5 . For the avoidance of doubt, clause (iii)  above shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations and submit other business (other than matters properly included in the corporation’s notice of meeting of stockholders and proxy statement under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “ 1934 Act ”)) before an annual meeting of stockholders.

(b) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as is a proper matter for stockholder action under Delaware law and as shall have been properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures below.

(i) For nominations for the election to the Board of Directors to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii)  of Section 5(a) of these Bylaws, the stockholder must deliver written notice to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation on a timely basis as set forth in Section 5(b)(iii) and must update and supplement such written notice on a timely basis as set forth in Section 5(c ). Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (A) as to each nominee such stockholder proposes to nominate at the meeting: (1) the name, age, business address and residence address of such nominee, (2) the principal occupation or employment of such nominee, (3) the class and number of shares of each class of capital stock of the corporation that are owned of record and beneficially by such nominee, (4) the date or dates on which such shares were acquired and the investment intent of such acquisition, (5) with respect to each nominee for election or re-election to the Board of Directors, include a completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 5(e) of these Bylaws, and (6) such other information concerning such nominee as would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of such nominee as a director in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved), or that is otherwise required to be disclosed pursuant to Section 14 of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including such person’s written consent to being named as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); and (B) the information required by Section 5(b)(iv). The corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such proposed nominee.

(ii) Other than proposals sought to be included in the corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14(a)-8 under the 1934 Act, for business other than nominations for the election to the Board of Directors to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 5(a) of these Bylaws, the stockholder must deliver written notice to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation on a timely basis as set forth in Section 5(b)(iii) , and must update and supplement such written notice on a timely basis as set forth in Section 5(c) . Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (A) as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, and any material interest (including any anticipated benefit of such business to any Proponent (as defined below) other than solely as a result of its ownership of the corporation’s capital stock, that is material to any Proponent individually, or to the Proponents in the aggregate) in such business of any Proponent; and (B) the information required by Section 5(b)(iv) .

(iii) To be timely, the written notice required by Section 5(b)(i) or 5(b)(ii) must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90 th ) day nor earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120 th ) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that, subject to the last sentence of this Section 5(b)(iii) , in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed by more than thirty (30) days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120 th ) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90 th ) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10 th ) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. In no event shall an adjournment or a postponement of an annual meeting for which notice has been given, or the public announcement thereof has been made, commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(iv) The written notice required by Section 5(b)(i) or 5(b)(ii) shall also set forth, as of the date of the notice and as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (each, a “ Proponent ” and collectively, the “ Proponents ”): (A) the name and address of each Proponent, as they appear on the corporation’s books; (B) the class, series and number of shares of the corporation that are owned beneficially and of record by each Proponent; (C) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether oral or in writing) with respect to such nomination or proposal between or among any Proponent and any of its affiliates or associates, and any others (including their names) acting in concert, or otherwise under the agreement, arrangement or understanding, with any of the foregoing; (D) a representation that the Proponents are holders of record or beneficial owners, as the case may be, of shares of the corporation entitled to vote at the meeting and intend to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice (with respect to a notice under Section 5(b)(i) ) or to propose the business that is specified in the notice (with respect to a notice under Section 5(b)(ii) ); (E) a representation as to whether the Proponents intend to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of a sufficient number of holders of the corporation’s voting shares to elect such nominee or nominees (with respect to a notice under Section 5(b)(i)) or to carry such proposal (with respect to a notice under Section 5(b)(ii) ); (F) to the extent known by any Proponent, the name and address of any other stockholder supporting the proposal on the date of such stockholder’s notice; and (G) a description of all Derivative Transactions (as defined below) by each Proponent during the previous twelve (12) month period, including the date of the transactions and the class, series and number of securities involved in, and the material economic terms of, such Derivative Transactions.

 

For purposes of Sections 5 and 6 , a “ Derivative Transaction ” means any agreement, arrangement, interest or understanding entered into by, or on behalf or for the benefit of, any Proponent or any of its affiliates or associates, whether record or beneficial:

(w) the value of which is derived in whole or in part from the value of any class or series of shares or other securities of the corporation,

(c) A stockholder providing written notice required by Section 5(b)(i) or (ii)  shall update and supplement such notice in writing, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice is true and correct in all material respects as of (i) the record date for the meeting and (ii) the date that is five (5) business days prior to the meeting and, in the event of any adjournment or postponement thereof, five (5) business days prior to such adjourned or postponed meeting. In the case of an update and supplement pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 5(c) , such update and supplement shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for the meeting. In the case of an update and supplement pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 5(c) , such update and supplement shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than two (2) business days prior to the date for the meeting, and, in the event of any adjournment or postponement thereof, two (2) business days prior to such adjourned or postponed meeting.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5(b)(iii) to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors of the Board of Directors of the corporation is increased and there is no public announcement of the appointment of a director, or, if no appointment was made, of the vacancy, made by the corporation at least ten (10) days before the last day a stockholder may deliver a notice of nomination in accordance with Section 5(b)(iii ), a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 5 and that complies with the requirements in Section 5(b)(i) , other than the timing requirements in Section 5(b)(iii) , shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the corporation.

(e) To be eligible to be a nominee for election or re-election as a director of the corporation pursuant to a nomination under clause (iii ) of Section 5(a) , such proposed nominee or a person on such proposed nominee’s behalf must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under Section 5(b)(iii) or 5(d) , as applicable) to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation a written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such proposed nominee and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made (which questionnaire shall be provided by the Secretary upon written request) and a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request) that such person (i) is not and will not become a party to (A) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “ Voting Commitment ”) that has not been disclosed to the corporation in the questionnaire or (B) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law; (ii) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director of the corporation that has not been disclosed therein; and (iii) in such person’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the corporation, and will comply with, all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the corporation.

Upon determination of the time and place, if any, of the meeting, the Secretary shall cause a notice of meeting to be given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of these Bylaws.

Nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations for the election to the Board of Directors to be considered pursuant to Section 6(c) of these Bylaws.

Section 7. Notice Of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law, notice, given in writing or by electronic transmission, of each meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, such notice to specify the place, if any, date and hour, in the case of special meetings, the purpose or purposes of the meeting, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at any such meeting. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the corporation. Notice of the time, place, if any, and purpose of any meeting of stockholders may be waived in writing, signed by the person entitled to notice thereof, or by electronic transmission by such person, either before or after such meeting, and will be waived by any stockholder by his attendance thereat in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any stockholder so waiving notice of such meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given.

Section 8. Quorum. At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws, the presence, in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, either by the chairman of the meeting or by vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares represented thereat, but no other business shall be transacted at such meeting. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Except as otherwise provided by statute or by applicable stock exchange rules, or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, except where otherwise provided by the statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes or series, present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. Except where otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority (plurality, in the case of the election of directors) of shares of such class or classes or series present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class or classes or series.

Section 9. Adjournment And Notice Of Adjourned Meetings. Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time either by the chairman of the meeting or by the vote of holder of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, if any, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 10. Voting Rights. For the purpose of determining those stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, only persons in whose names shares stand on the stock records of the corporation on the record date, as provided in Section 12 of these Bylaws, shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders. Every person entitled to vote shall have the right to do so either in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by an agent or agents authorized by a proxy granted in accordance with Delaware law. An agent so appointed need not be a stockholder. No proxy shall be voted after three (3) years from its date of creation unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

Section 11. Joint Owners Of Stock. If shares or other securities having voting power stand of record in the names of two (2) or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety, or otherwise, or if two (2) or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect: (a) if only one (1) votes, his act binds all; (b) if more than one (1) votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one (1) votes, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in question proportionally, or may apply to the Delaware Court of Chancery for relief as provided in the DGCL, Section 217(b). If the instrument filed with the Secretary shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority or even-split for the purpose of subsection (c) shall be a majority or even-split in interest.

 

Section 12. List Of Stockholders. The Secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. The list shall be open to examination of any stockholder during the time of the meeting as provided by law.

Section 13. Action Without Meeting.

No action shall be taken by the stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders called in accordance with these Bylaws, and no action shall be taken by the stockholders by electronic transmission.

Section 14. Organization.

(a) At every meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or, if a Chairman has not been appointed or is absent, the Chief Executive Officer, or if no Chief Executive Officer is then serving or is absent, the President, or, if the President is absent, a Chairman of the meeting chosen by a majority in interest of the stockholders entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, shall act as Chairman. The Chairman of the Board may appoint the Chief Executive Officer as Chairman of the meeting. The Secretary, or, in his or her absence, an Assistant Secretary or other officer or other person directed to do so by the Chairman of the meeting, shall act as secretary of the meeting.

(b) The Board of Directors of the corporation shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations of the Board of Directors, if any, the chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, establishing an agenda or order of business for the meeting, rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present, limitations on participation in such meeting to stockholders of record of the corporation and their duly authorized and constituted proxies and such other persons as the chairman shall permit, restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants and regulation of the opening and closing of the polls for balloting on matters that are to be voted on by ballot. The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at the meeting shall be announced at the meeting. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with rules of parliamentary procedure.

(b) Other Officers, Employees and Other Agents. The corporation shall have power to indemnify its other officers, employees and other agents as set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law. The Board of Directors shall have the power to delegate the determination of whether indemnification shall be given to any such person except executive officers to such officers or other persons as the Board of Directors shall determine.

(c) Expenses. The corporation shall advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or executive officer, of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or executive officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by any director or executive officer in connection with such proceeding provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by a director or executive officer in his or her capacity as a director or executive officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “ undertaking ”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this section or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to paragraph (e) of this section, no advance shall be made by the corporation to an executive officer of the corporation (except by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the corporation in which event this paragraph shall not apply) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by a majority vote of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, even if not a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

 

(d) Enforcement. Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and executive officers under this Bylaw shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the corporation and the director or executive officer. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this section to a director or executive officer shall be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within ninety (90) days of request therefor. To the extent permitted by law, the claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting the claim. In connection with any claim for indemnification, the corporation shall be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the DGCL or any other applicable law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. In connection with any claim by an executive officer of the corporation (except in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the corporation) for advances, the corporation shall be entitled to raise a defense as to any such action clear and convincing evidence that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that such person acted without reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was lawful. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by a director or executive officer to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, the burden of proving that the director or executive officer is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this section or otherwise shall be on the corporation.

(e) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall not be exclusive of any other right that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any applicable statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. The corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL, or by any other applicable law.

(f) Survival of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or executive officer or officer, employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 

(g) Insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or any other applicable law, the corporation, upon approval by the Board of Directors, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this section.

(h) Amendments. Any repeal or modification of this section shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Bylaw in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is the cause of any proceeding against any agent of the corporation.

(i) Saving Clause. If this Bylaw or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and executive officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this section that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law. If this section shall be invalid due to the application of the indemnification provisions of another jurisdiction, then the corporation shall indemnify each director and executive officer to the full extent under any other applicable law.

(j) Certain Definitions. For the purposes of this Bylaw, the following definitions shall apply:

(i) The term “ proceeding ” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.

(ii) The term “ expenses ” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, court costs, attorneys’ fees, witness fees, fines, amounts paid in settlement or judgment and any other costs and expenses of any nature or kind incurred in connection with any proceeding.

(iii) The term the “ corporation ” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger that, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(iv) References to a “ director ,” “ executive officer ,” “ officer ,” “ employee ,” or “ agent ” of the corporation shall include, without limitation, situations where such person is serving at the request of the corporation as, respectively, a director, executive officer, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

 

(v) References to “ other enterprises ” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “ serving at the request of the corporation ” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation that imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this section.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.1 , a certificate signed by the Company’s chief executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) 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 twelve-month period, and provided , further , that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other stockholder during such 120-day period (other than pursuant to an Excluded Registration).

(d)

The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) (i) during the period that is ninety (90) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided , that the Company is actively employing, in good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; (ii) after the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(a) ; or (iii) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 2.1(b) .  The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 2.1(b) (i) during the period that is thirty (30) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided, that the Company is actively employing, in good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or (ii) if the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(b) within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of such request .  A registration statement shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 2.1(d) until such time as the applicable registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC, unless the Initiating Holders withdraw their request for such registration, elect not to pay the registration expenses therefor, and forfeit their right to one demand registration statement pursuant to Section 2.6 , in which case such withdrawn registration statement shall be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 2.1(d) .

2.2

Company Registration .  If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than pursuant to an Excluded Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration.  Upon the written request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3 , use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be included in such registration.  The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration.  The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such registration shall be borne by the Company, in accordance with Section 2.6 hereof.

2.3

Underwriting Requirements .  

(a)

If, pursuant to Section 2.1 , the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 2.1 , and the Company shall include such information in the Demand Notice .  The underwriter (s) will be selected by the Company and shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders.  In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s 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 to the extent provided herein.  All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 2.4 (e) ) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.3, if the managing underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that otherwise would be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among such Holders of Registrable Securities, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder or in such other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders ; provided, however , that the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting.   To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.

(b)

In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to Section 2.2 , the Company shall not be required to include any of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company.  If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering.   If the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated among the selling Holders in proportion (as nearly as practicable to) the number of Registrable Securities owned by each selling Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders.   To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced unless all other securities (other than securities to be sold by the Company) are first entirely excluded from the offering, or (ii)  the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced below twenty percent (20%) of the total number of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the IPO, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded further if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder’s securities are included in such offering.  For purposes of the provision in this Section 2.3 (b) concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners, retired members, stockholders, and Affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and Immediate Family Members of any such partners, retired partners, members, and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such “selling Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

2.4

Obligations of the Company .  Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a)

prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution described in such registration statement is completed; provided, however , that such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains, at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, from selling any securities included in such registration;

(b)

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 in order to enable the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

(e)

in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the underwriters of such offering;

(i)

notify each selling Holder, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed; and

(j)

2.7

2.8

Indemnification .  In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2 :

(a)

To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder, and the partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders of each such Holder; legal counsel and accountants for each such Holder; any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each 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 Damages, and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however , that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8 (a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such registration.

(b)

To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person (if any), who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement, and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such selling Holder will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however , that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8 (b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that in no event shall any indemnity under this Sections 2.8 (b) and 2.8(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder ) , except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.

(c)

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section  2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.8 , give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof.  The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however , that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate 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 differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action.  The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.8 , to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action.  The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.8 .

(d)

To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.8 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 2.8 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Section 2.8 , then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relevant intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however , that, in any such case, (x) no 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 (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further , that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Section 2.8(d) , when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 2.8(b) , exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder.

(e)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

(f)

Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Section 2 , and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

2.9

Reports Under the Exchange Act .  With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:

2.10

Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights .  From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (i) to include such securities in any registration unless, under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the number of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included or (ii) to demand registration of any securities held by such holder or prospective holder; provided that this limitation shall not apply to any additional Investor who becomes a party to this Agreement in accordance with Section   6.9 .

PLEDGE AGREEMENT



PLEDGE AGREEMENT, dated as of April 15, 2011, between DAVID J. EASTMAN (“Pledgor”) and JUSTIN YORKE (“Purchasers’ Representative”).


Recitals


A.

Pursuant to that certain Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and Senior Secured Loan Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof between HeatwurxAQ, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Purchasers named therein (the “Purchase Agreement”), Purchasers have agreed to make a loan to the Company evidenced by the Senior Secured Promissory Note issued by the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “Senior Note”).  As provided in the Purchase Agreement, Purchasers’ Representative has been designated as the representative of the Purchasers.


B.

Pledgor is the record and beneficial owner of 100,000 shares of Common Stock $.001 par value, of the Company (the “Pledged Shares”).


C.

In order to induce Purchasers to make the loan as provided for in the Purchase Agreement, Pledgor has agreed to pledge the Pledged Shares to Purchasers’ Representative (as agent for Purchasers) and to grant Purchasers’ Representative (as agent for Purchasers)  the right to purchase the Pledged Shares in accordance herewith.


Agreement


In consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:


1.

Pledge .  Pledgor hereby pledges to Purchasers’ Representative (as agent for Purchasers), and grants to Purchasers’ Representative (as agent for Purchasers) a first priority security interest in, the Pledged Shares and the certificates representing the Pledged Shares, as security for payment of the Senior Note.  All certificates evidencing the Pledged Shares shall be delivered to and held by Purchasers’ Representative (as agent for Purchasers) pursuant hereto.  The Pledgor will notify the Company to add a notation to the stock registry book of the Company, containing a notation stating that the Pledged Shares have been pledged in favor of the Purchasers’ Representative, and will cause to be delivered to the Purchasers’ Representative a certificate signed by the Secretary of the board of directors of the Company indicating that such pledge has been registered as provided herein and that the Secretary is aware of the contents of this Agreement.


2.

Defaults and Remedies .  If the Company is in default in making any mandatory payment of principal on the Senior Note, and such default is not cured within 15 days after written notice from Purchasers’ Representative to the Company and Pledgor, Purchasers’ Representative is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Shares, to sell in one or more sales after thirty (30) days' notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time at which a private sale is to take place (which notice Pledgor agrees is commercially reasonable) the whole or any part of the Pledged Shares and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Shares as though Purchasers’ Representative was the outright owner thereof. Any sale shall be made at a public or private sale at Purchasers’ Representative's place of business, or at any place to be named in the notice of sale, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery at such price as Purchasers’ Representative may deem fair, and Purchasers’ Representative (as agent for Purchasers) may be the purchaser of the whole or any part of the Pledged Shares so sold. Each sale shall be made to the highest bidder, but Purchasers’ Representative reserves the right to reject any and all bids at such sale that, in its discretion, it shall deem inadequate.


3.

Proxy; Voting .  Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Purchasers’ Representative as the proxy and attorney-in-fact of Pledgor with respect to the Pledged Shares, including the right to vote the Pledged Shares, with full power of substitution to do so. The appointment of Purchasers’ Representative as proxy and attorney-in-fact is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the termination date. In addition to the right to vote the Pledged Shares, the appointment of Purchasers’ Representative as proxy and attorney-in-fact shall include the right to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Shares would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of stockholders, calling special meetings of stockholders and voting at such meetings). Such proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Shares on the record books of the Company) by any person.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchasers’ Representative shall not have any duty to exercise any such right or to preserve the same and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or for any delay in doing so.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchasers’ Representative agrees that until the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Senior Note, Purchasers’ Representative shall vote the Pledged Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Voting Agreement dated as of April 15, 2011 among the Company, Pledgor, Purchaser and other stockholders of the Company.


4.

Power of Attorney .  The Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Purchasers’ Representative as the Pledgor’s special attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time in the Purchasers’ Representative’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Purchasers’ Representative may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation:

(ii)

Notice .  Each Key Holder proposing to make a Proposed Key Holder Transfer must deliver a Proposed Transfer Notice to the Company and each Investor not later than forty-five (45) days prior to the consummation of such Proposed K ey Holder Transfer.  Such Proposed Transfer Notice shall contain the material terms and conditions (including price and form of consideration) of the Proposed Key Holder Transfer and the identity of the Prospective Transferee.  To exercise its Right of First Refusal under this Section 2 , the Company must deliver a Company Notice to the selling Key Holder and to the Company within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Proposed Transfer Notice.  In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any other agreement that may have been entered into by a Key Holder with the Company that contains a preexisting right of first refusal, including without limitation, the Company’s Bylaws, the Company and the Key Holder acknowledge and agree that the terms of this Agreement shall control and the preexisting right of first refusal shall be deemed satisfied by compliance with Section 2(a)(i) and this Section 2(a)(ii) .

(iii)

Grant of Secondary Refusal Right to the Investors .  Subject to the terms of Section 3 below, each Key Holder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Investors a Secondary Refusal Right to purchase all or any portion of the Transfer Stock not purchased by the Company pursuant to the Right of First Refusal, as provided in this Section 2(a)(iii) .  If the Company does not intend to exercise its Right of First Refusal with respect to all Transfer Stock subject to a Proposed Key Holder Transfer, the Company must deliver a Secondary Notice to the selling Key Holder and to each Investor to that effect no later than fifteen (15) days after the selling Key Holder delivers the Proposed Transfer Notice to the Company.  To exercise its Secondary Refusal Right, an Investor must deliver an Investor Notice to the selling Key Holder and the Company within ten (10) days after the Company’s deadline for its delivery of the Secondary Notice as provided in the preceding sentence.

(iv)

Consideration; Closing .  If the consideration proposed to be paid for the Transfer Stock is in property, services or other non-cash consideration, the fair market value of the consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors and as set forth in the Company Notice.  If the Company or any Investor cannot for any reason pay for the Transfer Stock in the same form of non-cash consideration, the Company or such Investor may pay the cash value equivalent thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and as set forth in the Company Notice.  The closing of the purchase of Transfer Stock by the Company and the Investors shall take place, and all payments from the Company and the Investors shall have been delivered to the selling Key Holder, by the later of (i) the date specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice as the intended date of the Proposed Key Holder Transfer and (ii) forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Proposed Transfer Notice .

(b)

Co-Sale .  

(i)

Right of Co-Sale.  If an Investor has waived or failed to timely exercise its Secondary Refusal  Right to acquire Transfer Stock, such Investor will have the right to participate in the transfer of any Transfer Stock not purchased by the other Investors or the Company (the “ Remaining Transfer Stock ”) in the manner set forth herein (the “ Right of Co-Sale ”).  Pursuant to this Section 2(b), each such Investor may transfer to the Prospective Transferee(s) identified in the Proposed Transfer Notice up to its pro rata portion (based upon the total number of shares of Capital Stock then held by all Investors that elect to exercise the Right of Co-Sale and the selling Key Holder) of the Remaining Transfer Stock, by giving written notice to the selling Key Holder and the Company within ten (10) days after the Company’s deadline for its delivery of the Secondary Notice, specifying the number of shares of Capital Stock that such Investor desires to transfer to the Prospective Transferee by exercising the Right of Co-Sale.  For example, if there are 100,000 shares of Remaining Transfer Stock, and a total of 1,000,000 shares held by the Investors that elect to exercise the Right of Co-Sale and the selling Key Holder, then (A) an Investor holding 500,000 shares would have the right to transfer 50,000 shares to the Prospective Transferee, and (B) an Investor holding 100,000 shares would have the right to transfer 10,000 shares to the Prospective Transferee.   

(i)

Consummation of Co-Sale .  An Investor, in exercising the Right of Co-Sale, may effect such Investor’s participation in such Transfer by delivering to the selling Key Holder at the Closing of the transfer of Transfer Stock to such transferee one or more certifi­cates, properly endorsed for Transfer, representing such Capital Stock to be Transferred by such Inves­tor.  At the Closing, such certificates or other instruments will be transferred and delivered to the Prospective Transferee(s) set forth in the selling Key Holder’s Notice in consummation of the transfer of the Transfer Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the selling Key Holder’s Notice, and the selling Key Holder will remit, or will cause to be remitted, to each such Investor within seven (7) days after such Closing that portion of the proceeds of the Transfer to which such Investor is entitled by reason of such Investor’s participation in such Transfer pursuant to the Right of Co-Sale.  In the event that an Investor electing to exercise its Right of Co-Sale fails to deliver the stock certificates as specified above at the Closing, such Investor shall have waived its Right of Co-Sale therefor and the selling Key Holder shall be entitled to complete the Transfer at the Closing without participation by the waiving Investor.  

(c)

Effect of Failure to Comply .

(i)

Transfer Void; Equitable Relief .  Any Proposed Key Holder Transfer not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company.  Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement would result in substantial harm to the other parties hereto for which monetary damages alone could not adequately compensate.  Therefore, the parties hereto unconditionally and irrevocably agree that any non-breaching party hereto shall be entitled to seek protective orders, injunctive relief and other remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, seeking specific performance or the rescission of purchases, sales and other transfers of Transfer Stock not made in strict compliance with this Agreement).

(ii)

Violation of First Refusal Right .  If any Key Holder becomes obligated to sell any Transfer Stock to the Company or any Investor under this Agreement and fails to deliver such Transfer Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company and/or such Investor may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, send to such Key Holder the purchase price for such Transfer Stock as is herein specified and transfer to the name of the Company or such Investor (or request that the Company effect such transfer in the name of an Investor) on the Company’s books the certificate or certificates representing the Transfer Stock to be sold.

3.

Exempt Transfers.  

(a)

Exempted Transfers .  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Sections 2(a) and 2(b) shall not apply: (i) in the case of a Key Holder that is an entity, upon a transfer by such Key Holder to its stockholders, members, partners or other equity holders, (ii) to a repurchase of Transfer Stock from a Key Holder by the Company at a price no greater than that originally paid by such Key Holder for such Transfer Stock and pursuant to an agreement containing vesting and/or repurchase provisions approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, or (iii) in the case of a Key Holder that is a natural person, upon a transfer of Transfer Stock by such Key Holder made for bona fide estate planning purposes, either during his or her lifetime or on death by will or intestacy to his or her spouse, child (natural or adopted), or any other direct lineal descendant of such Key Holder (or his or her spouse) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to as “family members”), or any other person approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, or any custodian or trustee of any trust, partnership or limited liability company for the benefit of, or the ownership interests of which are owned wholly by, such Key Holder or any such family members; provided that in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), the Key Holder shall deliver prior written notice to the Investors of such gift or transfer and such shares of Transfer Stock shall at all times remain subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and such transferee shall, as a condition to such issuance, deliver a counterpart signature page to this Agreement as confirmation that such transferee shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a Key Holder (but only with respect to the securities so transferred to the transferee), including the obligations of a Key Holder with respect to Proposed Key Holder Transfers of such Transfer Stock pursuant to Section 2 .

(b)

Exempted Offerings .  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Section 2 shall not apply to the sale of any Transfer Stock (i) to the public in an offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (a “ Public Offering ”) or (ii) pursuant to a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation).

(c)

Prohibited Transferees .  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Key Holder shall transfer any Transfer Stock to (i) any entity which, in the determination of the Company’s Board of Directors, directly or indirectly competes with the Company or (ii) any customer, distributor or supplier of the Company, if the Company’s Board of Directors should determine that such transfer would result in such customer, distributor or supplier receiving information that would place the Company at a competitive disadvantage with respect to such customer, distributor or supplier.

4.

Legend.   Each certificate representing shares of Transfer Stock held by the Key Holders or issued to any permitted transferee in connection with a transfer permitted by Section 3 hereof shall be endorsed with a legend substantially as follows:

THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO, AND IN CERTAIN CASES PROHIBITED BY, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND CO-SALE AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG THE STOCKHOLDER, THE CORPORATION AND CERTAIN OTHER HOLDERS OF STOCK OF THE CORPORATION.  COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION.

Each Key Holder agrees that the Company may instruct its transfer agent to impose transfer restrictions on the shares represented by certificates bearing the legend referred to in this Section 4 above to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, and the Company agrees to promptly do so.  The legend shall be removed upon termination of this Agreement at the request of the holder.

RECITALS

A.

Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and the Investors are entering into a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and Senior Secured Notes Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) providing for the sale of shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and senior secured notes of the Company, and in connection with the Purchase Agreement the parties desire to provide the Investors and Key Holders with the right, among other rights, to designate the election of certain members of the board of directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

B.

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “ Charter ”) provides that (a) the holders of record of the shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect three (3) directors of the Company (the “ Series A Directors ”), and (b) the holders of record of the shares of common stock of the Company, $0.001 par value (“ Common Stock ”), exclusively and voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to elect two (2) directors of the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1.

Voting Provisions Regarding Board of Directors .


1.1

Size of the Board .  Each Stockholder agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares (as defined below) owned by such Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that the size of the Board shall be set and remain at five (5) directors.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “ Shares ” shall mean and include any securities of the Company the holders of which are entitled to vote for members of the Board, including without limitation, all shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, by whatever name called, now owned or subsequently acquired by a Stockholder, however acquired, whether through stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, recapitalizations, similar events or otherwise.


1.2

Board Composition .  Each Stockholder agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares owned by such Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that at each annual or special meeting of stockholders at which an election of directors is held or pursuant to any written consent of the stockholders, the following persons shall be elected to the Board:


(a)

Three individuals, who together shall be the Series A Directors, designated by the holders of record of a majority of the shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, voting exclusively and as a separate class, who shall initially be Justin Yorke, John McGrain and Charles Kirby.

(b)

Two individuals, who together shall be the Common Directors, designated by the holders of record of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, who shall initially be Larry C. Griffin and Richard Giles.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of the Charter or Bylaws to the contrary, after conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock (the “Converted Stock”), in lieu of the election of the Series A Directors as provided in clause (a) above and the Common Directors as provided in clause (b) above, the following persons shall be elected to the Board: (i) three individuals, who together shall continue to be designated as the Series A Directors, designated by the holders of record of a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Converted Stock”), voting exclusively and as a separate class; and (ii) two individuals, who together shall be the Common Directors, designated by the holders of record of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock other than the Converted Stock.

(d)

To the extent that any of clauses (a), (b) and (c) above shall not be applicable, any member of the Board who would otherwise have been designated in accordance with the terms thereof shall instead be voted upon by all the stockholders of the Company entitled to vote thereon in accordance with, and pursuant to, the Company’s Charter.  

For purposes of this Agreement, an individual, firm, corporation, partnership, association, limited liability company, trust or any other entity (collectively, a “ Person ”) shall be deemed an “ Affiliate ” of another Person who, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, including, without limitation, any general partner, managing member, officer or director of such Person or any  venture capital fund now or hereafter existing that is controlled by one or more general partners or managing members of, or shares the same management company with, such Person.

1.3

Failure to Designate a Board Member .  In the absence of any designation from the Persons or groups with the right to designate a director as specified above, the director previously designated by them and then serving shall be reelected if still eligible to serve as provided herein.

1.4

Removal of Board Members .  Each Stockholder also agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares owned by such Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that:

(a)

no director elected pursuant to Sections 1.2 or 1.3 of this Agreement may be removed from office unless (i) such removal is directed or approved by the affirmative vote of the Person, or of the holders of at least majority of the shares of stock, entitled under Section 1.2 to designate that director or (ii) the Person(s) originally entitled to designate or approve such director or occupy such Board seat pursuant to Section 1.2 is no longer so entitled to designate or approve such director or occupy such Board seat;  

(b)

any vacancies created by the resignation, removal or death of a director elected pursuant to Sections 1.2 or 1.3 shall be filled pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1 ; and

(c)

upon the request of any party entitled to designate a director as provided in Section 1.2 to remove such director, such director shall be removed.

All Stockholders agree to execute any written consents required to perform the obligations of this Agreement, and the Company agrees at the request of any party entitled to designate directors to call a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing directors.  So long as the stockholders of the Company are entitled to cumulative voting, if less than the entire Board is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against his or her removal would be sufficient to elect such director if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire Board.

1.5

No Liability for Election of Recommended Directors .  No Stockholder, nor any Affiliate of any Stockholder, shall have any liability as a result of designating a person for election as a director for any act or omission by such designated person in his or her capacity as a director of the Company, nor shall any Stockholder have any liability as a result of voting for any such designee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

2.

Remedies .

2.1

Covenants of the Company .  The Company agrees to use its best efforts, within the requirements of applicable law, to ensure that the rights granted under this Agreement are effective and that the parties enjoy the benefits of this Agreement.  Such actions include, without limitation, the use of the Company’s best efforts to cause the nomination and election of the directors as provided in this Agreement.  

2.2

Specific Enforcement . Each party acknowledges and agrees that each party hereto will be irreparably damaged in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed by the parties in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached.  Accordingly, it is agreed that each of the Company and the Stockholders shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement, and to specific enforcement of this Agreement and its terms and provisions in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state having subject matter jurisdiction.  

2.3

Remedies Cumulative .  All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

(b)

Powers of Board.  The Board shall have the power, subject to, and within the limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan:

To construe and interpret the Plan and Stock Awards granted under it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration.  The Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or in any Stock Award Agreement, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make the Plan or Stock Award fully effective.

(iii)

To settle all controversies regarding the Plan and Stock Awards granted under it.

(iv)

To suspend or terminate the Plan at any time.  Suspension or termination of the Plan shall not impair rights and obligations under any Stock Award granted while the Plan is in effect except with the written consent of the affected Participant.

(c)

Delegation to Committee.  The Board may delegate some or all of the administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees.  If administration of the Plan is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board that have been delegated to the Committee, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee of the Committee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board shall thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board.  The Board may retain the authority to concurrently administer the Plan with the Committee and may, at any time, revest in the Board some or all of the powers previously delegated.

(d)

3.

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

(a)

Subject to Section  relating to Capitalization Adjustments, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Company that may be issued pursuant to Stock Awards after the Effective Date shall not exceed One Million Eight Hundred Thousand (1,800,000) shares.  For clarity, the limitation in this Section  is a limitation in the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the Plan.  Accordingly, this Section   does not limit the granting of Stock Awards except as provided in Section .  Furthermore, if a Stock Award (i) expires or otherwise terminates without having been exercised in full or (ii) is settled in cash ( i.e. , the holder of the Stock Award receives cash rather than stock), such expiration, termination or settlement shall not reduce (or otherwise offset) the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the Plan.

(b)

If any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a Stock Award are forfeited back to the Company because of the failure to meet a contingency or condition required to vest such shares in the Participant, then the shares which are forfeited shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan.  Also, any shares reacquired by the Company pursuant to Section  or as consideration for the exercise of an Option shall again become available for issuance under the Plan.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section , any such shares shall not be subsequently issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options.  

(c)

Incentive Stock Option Limit.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section , subject to the provisions of Section  relating to Capitalization Adjustments, the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall be One Million Eight Hundred Thousand (1,800,000) shares of Common Stock unless otherwise amended.   

(d)

Source of Shares.  The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock.  The total number of shares available for issuance under the Plan shall be One Million Eight Hundred Thousand (1,800,000) shares of Common Stock unless otherwise amended.   

4.

ELIGIBILITY.

(a)

Eligibility for Specific Stock Awards .  Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company or a “ parent corporation ” or “ subsidiary corporation ” thereof (as such terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code).  Nonstatutory Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Directors and Consultants.

(b)

Ten Percent Stockholders.  A holder of 10% or more of the Company’s stock (a “ Ten Percent Stockholder ”) shall not be granted an Incentive Stock Option without a vote of a majority of the members of the Board (excluding any member of the Board who is the proposed recipient of the grant), and unless the exercise price of such Option is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of grant.

5.

OPTION PROVISIONS.

Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate.  All Options shall be separately designated Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options at the time of grant, and, if certificates are issued, a separate certificate or certificates shall be issued for shares of Common Stock purchased on exercise of each type of Option.  If an Option is not specifically designated as an Incentive Stock Option, then the Option shall be a Nonstatutory Stock Option. The provisions of separate Options need not be identical; provided, however , that each Option Agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option Agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

(a)

Term.  Subject to the provisions of Section  regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date of its grant or such shorter period specified in the Option Agreement.

(b)

Exercise Price.  Subject to the provisions of Section  regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, the exercise price of each Option shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code (whether or not such options are Incentive Stock Options).

(c)

Consideration.  The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable law and as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, by any combination of the methods of payment set forth below.  The Board shall have the authority to grant Options that do not permit all of the following methods of payment (or otherwise restrict the ability to use certain methods) and to grant Options that require the consent of the Company to utilize a particular method of payment.  The permitted methods of payment are as follows:

(i)

by cash, check, bank draft or money order payable to the Company;

(ii)

pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of the stock subject to the Option, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds;

(iii)

by delivery to the Company (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock equal to the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Option exercise price;

(iv)

by a “ net exercise ” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price; provided, however, that the Company shall accept a cash or other payment from the Participant to the extent of any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole shares to be issued; provided, further, that shares of Common Stock will no longer be outstanding under an Option and will not be exercisable thereafter to the extent that (A) shares are used to pay the exercise price pursuant to the “ net exercise ,” (B) shares are delivered to the Participant as a result of such exercise, and (C) shares are withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations; or

(v)

in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board.  

(d)

Transferability of Options.  The Board may, in its sole discretion, impose such limitations on the transferability of Options as the Board shall determine.  In the absence of such a determination by the Board to the contrary, the following restrictions on the transferability of Options shall apply:

(i)

Restrictions on Transfer.  An Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder.    

(ii)

Domestic Relations Orders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may be transferred pursuant to a domestic relations order, provided, however, that an Incentive Stock Option may be deemed to be a Nonstatutory Stock Option as a result of such transfer.  

(iii)

Beneficiary Designation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form provided by or otherwise satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be the beneficiary of an Option with the right to exercise the Option and receive the Common Stock or other consideration resulting from the Option exercise.

(e)

Vesting of Options Generally.  The total number of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option may vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may or may not be equal.  The Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may or may not be exercised (which may be based on the satisfaction of performance goals or other criteria) as the Board may deem appropriate.  The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary.  The provisions of this Section  are subject to any Option provisions governing the minimum number of shares of Common Stock as to which an Option may be exercised.

(f)

Termination of Continuous Service.  Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Option Agreement or other agreement between the Optionholder and the Company, in the event that an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates (other than for Cause or upon the Optionholder’s death or Disability), the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination of Continuous Service) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months following the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement, which period shall not be less than thirty (30) days unless such termination is for Cause), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement.  If, after termination of Continuous Service, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein or in the Option Agreement (as applicable), the Option shall terminate.

(g)

Extension of Termination Date.    Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Option Agreement or other agreement between the Optionholder and the Company, if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service (other than for Cause or upon the Optionholder’s death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of a period of three (3) months after the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements, or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement.

(h)

Disability of Optionholder.  Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Option Agreement or other agreement between the Optionholder and the Company, in the event that an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s Disability, the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination of Continuous Service), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12) months following such termination of Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement, which period shall not be less than six (6) months), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement.  If, after termination of Continuous Service, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein or in the Option Agreement (as applicable), the Option shall terminate.

(i)

Death of Optionholder.  Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Option Agreement or other agreement between the Optionholder and the Company, in the event that (i) an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s death, or (ii) the Optionholder dies within the period (if any) specified in the Option Agreement after the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service for a reason other than death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the Optionholder’s estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated as the beneficiary of the Option upon the Optionholder’s death, but only within the period ending on the earlier of (i) the date eighteen (18) months following the date of death (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement, which period shall not be less than six (6) months), or (ii) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement.  If, after the Optionholder’s death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein or in the Option Agreement (as applicable), the Option shall terminate.  If the Optionholder designates a third party beneficiary of the Option in accordance with Section , then upon the death of the Optionholder such designated beneficiary shall have the sole right to exercise the Option and receive the Common Stock or other consideration resulting from the Option exercise.  

(j)

Termination for Cause.  Except as explicitly provided otherwise in an Optionholder’s Option Agreement, in the event that an Optionholder’s Continuous Service is terminated for Cause, the Option shall terminate upon the termination date of such Optionholder’s Continuous Service, and the Optionholder shall be prohibited from exercising his or her Option from and after the time of such termination of Continuous Service.

(k)

Non-Exempt Employees .  No Option granted to an Employee that is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, shall be first exercisable for any shares of Common Stock until at least six months following the date of grant of the Option.  The foregoing provision is intended to operate so that any income derived by a non-exempt employee in connection with the exercise or vesting of an Option will be exempt from his or her regular rate of pay.

(l)

Right of Repurchase .  Subject to the “ Repurchase Limitation ” in Section , the Option may include a provision whereby the Company may elect to repurchase all or any part of the vested shares of Common Stock acquired by the Optionholder pursuant to the exercise of the Option.  Provided that the “ Repurchase Limitation ” in Section  is not violated, the Company shall not be required to exercise its repurchase option until at least six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time necessary to avoid classification of the Option as a liability for financial accounting purposes) have elapsed following exercise of the Option unless otherwise specifically provided in the Option Agreement.

(m)

Right of First Refusal .  The Option may include a provision whereby the Company may elect to exercise a right of first refusal following receipt of notice from the Optionholder of the intent to transfer all or any part of the shares of Common Stock received upon the exercise of the Option.  Except as expressly provided in this Section 5(m) or in the Stock Award Agreement for the Option, such right of first refusal shall otherwise comply with any applicable provisions of the Bylaws of the Company.  The Company will not exercise its right of first refusal until at least six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time necessary to avoid classification of the Option as a liability for financial accounting purposes) have elapsed following exercise of the Option unless otherwise specifically provided in the Option Agreement.

6.

COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

(a)

Availability of Shares.  During the terms of the Stock Awards, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock reasonably required to satisfy such Stock Awards.

(b)

Securities Law Compliance.  The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Stock Awards and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Stock Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Stock Award or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Stock Award.  If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority that counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of such Stock Awards unless and until such authority is obtained.

(c)

No Obligation to Notify.   The Company shall have no duty or obligation to any holder of a Stock Award to advise such holder as to the time or manner of exercising such Stock Award.  Furthermore, the Company shall have no duty or obligation to warn or otherwise advise such holder of a pending termination or expiration of a Stock Award or a possible period in which the Stock Award may not be exercised.  The Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences of a Stock Award to the holder of such Stock Award.

7.

MISCELLANEOUS.

(a)

Use of Proceeds from Sales of Common Stock.   Proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Stock Awards shall constitute general funds of the Company.

(b)

Corporate Action Constituting Grant of Stock Awards.  Corporate action constituting a grant by the Company of a Stock Award to any Participant shall be deemed completed as of the date of such corporate action, unless otherwise determined by the Board, regardless of when the instrument, certificate, or letter evidencing the Stock Award is communicated to, or actually received or accepted by, the Participant.  

(c)

Stockholder Rights.  No Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Award unless and until such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Stock Award pursuant to its terms and the Participant shall not be deemed to be a stockholder of record until the issuance of the Common Stock pursuant to such exercise has been entered into the books and records of the Company.

(d)

No Employment or Other Service Rights.  Nothing in the Plan, any Stock Award Agreement or any other instrument executed thereunder or in connection with any Stock Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Stock Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant’s agreement with the Company or an Affiliate, or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be.

(e)

Incentive Stock Option $100,000 Limitation.  To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionholder during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Affiliates) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), the Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the applicable Option Agreement(s).

(f)

Investment Assurances.  The Company may require a Participant, as a condition of exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any Stock Award, (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Stock Award; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the Participant is acquiring Common Stock subject to the Stock Award for the Participant’s own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Stock.  The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, shall be inoperative if (x) the issuance of the shares upon the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Stock Award has been registered under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (y) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws.  The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Common Stock.

(g)

Withholding Obligations.  To the extent provided by the terms of a Stock Award Agreement, the Company may, in its sole discretion, satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to a Stock Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Company’s right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (i) causing the Participant to tender a cash payment; (ii)  withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to the Participant in connection with the Stock Award; provided, however , that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law (or such lower amount as may be necessary to avoid classification of the Stock Award as a liability for financial accounting purposes); (iii) withholding payment from any amounts otherwise payable to the Participant; (iv) withholding cash from a Stock Award settled in cash; or (v) by such other method as may be set forth in the Stock Award Agreement.  

(h)

Electronic Delivery .  Any reference herein to a “written” agreement or document shall include any agreement or document delivered electronically or posted on the Company’s intranet.

(i)

Deferrals.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board, in its sole discretion, may determine that the delivery of Common Stock or the payment of cash, upon the exercise, vesting or settlement of all or a portion of any Stock Award may be deferred and may establish programs and procedures for deferral elections to be made by Participants.  Deferrals by Participants will be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Consistent with Section 409A of the Code, the Board may provide for distributions while a Participant is still an employee.  The Board is authorized to make deferrals of Stock Awards and determine when, and in what annual percentages, Participants may receive payments, including lump sum payments, following the Participant’s termination of employment or retirement, and implement such other terms and conditions consistent with the provisions of the Plan and in accordance with applicable law.

(j)

Compliance with Section 409A.   To the extent that the Board determines that any Stock Award granted hereunder is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Stock Award Agreement evidencing such Stock Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to avoid the consequences specified in Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code.  To the extent applicable, the Plan and Stock Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued or amended after the Effective Date.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Board determines that any Stock Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Effective Date), the Board may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Stock Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Board determines are necessary or appropriate to (1) exempt the Stock Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Stock Award, or (2) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance.

(k)

Information Obligation.  To the extent required by Section 260.140.46 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations, the Company shall deliver financial statements to Participants at least annually.  This Section  shall not apply to key Employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure them access to equivalent information.

(l)

Repurchase Limitation.  The terms of any repurchase option shall be specified in the Stock Award, and the repurchase price may be either the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of termination of Continuous Service or the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of repurchase or (ii) their original purchase price.  

8.

ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK; OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS.

(a)

Capitalization Adjustments .  In the event of a Capitalization Adjustment, the Board shall proportionately and appropriately adjust: (i) the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to Section , (ii) the class(es) and maximum number of securities that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options pursuant to Section , (iii) the class(es) and number of securities and price per share of stock subject to outstanding Stock Awards, (iv) the class(es) and maximum number of securities that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to Section .  The Board shall make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.  

(b)

Dissolution or Liquidation .  Except as otherwise provided in the Stock Award Agreement, in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all outstanding Stock Awards (other than Stock Awards consisting of vested and outstanding shares of Common Stock not subject to the Company’s right of repurchase) shall terminate immediately prior to the completion of such dissolution or liquidation, and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Company’s repurchase option may be repurchased by the Company notwithstanding the fact that the holder of such Stock Award is providing Continuous Service, provided, however, that the Board may, in its sole discretion, cause some or all Stock Awards to become fully vested, exercisable and/or no longer subject to repurchase or forfeiture (to the extent such Stock Awards have not previously expired or terminated) before the dissolution or liquidation is completed but contingent on its completion.

(c)

Stock Awards May Be Assumed.  Except as otherwise stated in the Stock Award Agreement, in the event of a Corporate Transaction, any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent company) may assume or continue any or all Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar stock awards for Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan (including but not limited to, awards to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the Corporate Transaction), and any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company in respect of Common Stock issued pursuant to Stock Awards may be assigned by the Company to the successor of the Company (or the successor’s parent company, if any), in connection with such Corporate Transaction.  A surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or its parent) may choose to assume or continue only a portion of a Stock Award or substitute a similar stock award for only a portion of a Stock Award.  The terms of any assumption, continuation or substitution shall be set by the Board in accordance with the provisions of Section .

(ii)

Stock Awards Held by Current Participants.  Except as otherwise stated in the Stock Award Agreement, in the event of a Corporate Transaction in which the surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or its parent company) does not assume or continue such outstanding Stock Awards or substitute similar stock awards for such outstanding Stock Awards, then with respect to Stock Awards that have not been assumed, continued or substituted and that are held by Participants whose Continuous Service has not terminated prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction (referred to as the “ Current Participants ”), the vesting of such Stock Awards (and, if applicable, the time at which such Stock Awards may be exercised) shall (contingent upon the effectiveness of the Corporate Transaction) be accelerated in full to a date prior to the effective time of such Corporate Transaction as the Board shall determine (or, if the Board shall not determine such a date, to the date that is five (5) days prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction), and such Stock Awards shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction, and any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company with respect to such Stock Awards shall lapse (contingent upon the effectiveness of the Corporate Transaction).

(iv)

Payment for Stock Awards in Lieu of Exercise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Stock Award will terminate if not exercised prior to the effective time of a Corporate Transaction, the Board may provide, in its sole discretion, that the holder of such Stock Award may not exercise such Stock Award but will receive a payment, in such form as may be determined by the Board, equal in value to the excess, if any, of (A) the value of the property the holder of the Stock Award would have received upon the exercise of the Stock Award, over (B) any exercise price payable by such holder in connection with such exercise.  

(d)

Change in Control.  A Stock Award may be subject to additional acceleration of vesting and exercisability upon or after a Change in Control as may be provided in the Stock Award Agreement for such Stock Award or as may be provided in any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant, but in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration shall occur.

The determination that a termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service is either for Cause or without Cause shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion.  Any determination by the Company that the Continuous Service of a Participant was terminated by reason of dismissal without Cause for the purposes of outstanding Stock Awards held by such Participant shall have no effect upon any determination of the rights or obligations of the Company or such Participant for any other purpose.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant has a written employment agreement with the Company that defines “ Cause ”, then the definition of Cause in such employment agreement shall be deemed to be controlling for the purposes of this Plan and any Award or Stock Option Agreement issued to such Participant under this Plan.

(i)

(ii)

For the avoidance of doubt, the term Change in Control shall not include a sale of assets, merger or other transaction effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Plan, the definition of Change in Control (or any analogous term) in an individual written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant shall supersede the foregoing definition with respect to Stock Awards subject to such agreement; provided, however, that if no definition of Change in Control or any analogous term is set forth in such an individual written agreement, the foregoing definition shall apply.

C.

All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the attached Appendix.


NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:


1.

Grant of Option .  The Corporation hereby grants to Optionee, as of the Grant Date, an option to purchase up to the number of Option Shares specified in the Grant Notice.  The Option Shares shall be purchasable from time to time during the option term specified in Paragraph 2 at the Exercise Price.

3.

Limited Transferability .  This option shall be neither transferable nor assignable by Optionee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution following Optionee's death and may be exercised, during Optionee's lifetime, only by Optionee.  However, if this option is designated a Non-Statutory Option in the Grant Notice, then this option may also be assigned in whole or in part during Optionee's lifetime in accordance with the terms of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.  The assigned portion shall be exercisable only by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to such Qualified Domestic Relations Order.  The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for this option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Board may deem appropriate.


4.

Dates of Exercise .  This option shall become exercisable for the Option Shares in one or more installments as specified in the Grant Notice.  As the option becomes exercisable for such installments, those installments shall accumulate and the option shall remain exercisable for the accumulated installments until the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the option term under Paragraphs 5 or 6 .


5.

Cessation of Service .  The option term specified in Paragraph 2 shall terminate (and this option shall cease to be outstanding) prior to the Expiration Date should any of the following provisions become applicable:


(a)

Should Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason (other than death, Disability, or Cause) while this option is outstanding, then Optionee shall have a period of three (3) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to exercise this option, but in no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.


(b)

Should Optionee die while this option is outstanding, then the personal representative of Optionee's estate or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to Optionee's will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution shall have the right to exercise this option.  Such right shall lapse and this option shall cease to be outstanding upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the three (3) ­month period measured from the date of Optionee's death or (ii) the Expiration Date.


(c)

(e)

(f)

In the event of a Change in Control, the provisions of Paragraph 6 shall govern the period for which this option is to remain exercisable following Optionee's cessation of Service and shall supersede any provisions to the contrary in this paragraph.

(b)

Immediately following the Change in Control, this option, to the extent not previously exercised, shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with the Change in Control.


(c)

If this option is assumed in connection with a Change in Control, then this option shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to Optionee in consummation of such Change in Control had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Change in Control, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.

No installment under this option shall qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Option if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock for which such installment first becomes exercisable hereunder would, when added to the aggregate value (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of any earlier installments of the Common Stock and any other securities for which this option or any other Incentive Options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether under the Plan or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate.  Should such One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation be exceeded in any calendar year, this option shall nevertheless become exercisable for the excess shares in such calendar year as a Non-Statutory Option.


(c)

Should the exercisability of this option be accelerated upon a Change in Control, then this option shall qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Option only to the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock for which this option first becomes exercisable in the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs does not, when added to the aggregate value (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of the Common Stock or other securities for which this option or one or more other Incentive Options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether under the Plan or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate.  Should the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation be exceeded in the calendar year of such Change in Control, the option may nevertheless be exercised for the excess shares in such calendar year as a Non-Statutory Option.


(d)

Should Optionee hold, in addition to this option, one or more other options to purchase Common Stock which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year as this option, then the foregoing limitations on the exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such options are granted.

THIS STANDARD OFFICE LEASE (the “Lease”) is made this 18th day of July, 2012 by and between SYRACUSE HILL II LLC , a Colorado limited liability company, as Landlord and HEATWURX, INC., a Delaware corporation, as Tenant.


ARTICLE 1.

LEASED PREMISES


Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord for the Term (as defined hereinbelow) and upon and expressly subject to the covenants, conditions and terms set forth in this Lease, Suite 315 consisting of approximately 2,244 rentable square feet (the “Leased Premises”), as is shown on the attached Appendix A, which Leased Premises are situated in that certain building located at 6041 S. Syracuse Way, Greenwood Village, Arapahoe County, Colorado, and known as Syracuse Hill II (the “Building”), which Building is situated on that certain parcel of real property (the “Property”) legally described in Appendix B, together with a non-exclusive right, subject to the provisions hereof, including any reasonable rules and regulations adopted from time to time by Landlord and any easements, declarations, covenants, conditions, and restrictions now or hereafter recorded with respect to the Property, governing the use thereof, to use all Appurtenances (as defined below) thereto, as hereinafter defined, designated by Landlord for the exclusive or non-exclusive use of tenants of the Building or the Building Complex, as hereinafter defined.  The common areas, including without limitation, all plazas, walkways, sidewalks, parking areas and facilities, and other facilities, areas and appurtenances of the Building, any other buildings or the Property, as may be designated from time to time by Landlord (collectively “Appurtenances”), the Building, any other buildings now or hereinafter constructed on the Property, and the Property are hereinafter sometimes collectively called the “Building Complex”.  Landlord reserves the right to re-measure the Leased Premises and the Building at any time pursuant to the standards of the Building Owners and Management Association (“BOMA”) and to adjust any calculations of Base Rent or Tenant’s Proportionate Share accordingly.



ARTICLE 2.

PURPOSE


The Leased Premises are to be used for general offices and for no other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord.


ARTICLE 3.

TERM


Unless earlier terminated as provided for herein, the term of this Lease shall be for a period of thirteen (13) months , commencing at 12:01 a.m., Mountain Standard Time, on July 23, 2012 (the “Commencement Date”) and extending until 5:00 p.m., Mountain Standard Time, August 31, 2013 (the “Primary Term”), provided, however, if the Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the Primary Term shall be measured from the first day of the month next following the month in which the Commencement Date occurs.  Subsequent to the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a Commencement Date Memorandum in the form attached hereto as Appendix D, setting forth the exact date of the commencement and termination of the Primary Term.  The Primary Term and any extensions or renewals thereof approved in writing by Landlord, shall collectively be referred to as the “Term”.  


ARTICLE 4.

COMPLETION OF THE PREMISES


Tenant shall accept the Leased Premises in its “as is” condition.  Landlord shall not be deemed to have made any representations or warranties with respect to the suitability of the Leased Premises for Tenant’s use, or otherwise, and shall have no other obligation for the completion of the Leased Premises.  By taking possession of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have agreed that the same is in good order, repair, and condition, and satisfactorily completed in accordance with Landlord’s obligations hereunder.


ARTICLE 5.

RENT


Section 5.1.

Base Rent. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord during the entire Primary Term the sum of Thirty-Nine Thousand Seventy and 95/100 Dollars ($39,070.95) in monthly installments as detailed below (the “Base Rent”).  The first full monthly installment of Base Rent, in the amount of Three Thousand One Hundred Seventy-Nine and 00/100 Dollars ($3,179.00) shall be payable upon execution hereof and each succeeding monthly installment shall be due and payable on or before the first day of each and every successive calendar month thereafter during the Primary Term or any extensions hereof.  If the Commencement Date is a date other



1




than the first day of a calendar month, there shall be due and payable on or before such date as Base Rent for the balance of such calendar month a sum equal to that proportion of the Base Rent for the first full calendar month, as herein provided, which the number of days from the Commencement Date to the end of such calendar month bears to the total number of days in such month.  The Base Rent schedule for the Primary Term of the Lease is as follows:


Rentable Sq. Ft. Premises


Time Period


Monthly Base Rent


Period Base Rent

2,244

7/23/2012 - 8/22/2012

$0.00

$0.00

2,244

8/23/2012 - 8/31/2013

$3,179.00

$39,070.95


Section 5.2.

No Offsets. The Base Rent and all other sums or charges required by this Lease to be paid by Tenant to Landlord, all of which are herein sometimes collectively referred to as “Rent” shall be paid to Landlord without notice or demand, unless expressly provided for herein, and without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America at the office of Landlord in the Building, or if no such office exists, to Landlord at the address provided in Article 32, or to such other person or place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.


Section 5.3.

Interest on Late Payments . Any Rent or other amount due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease that is not paid when due shall bear interest from the due date until the date paid at the annual rate of eighteen percent (18%), however, the payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. The failure to charge or collect such interest in connection with any one or more such late payments shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to charge and collect such interest in connection with any other late payments. The covenants herein to pay Rent shall be independent of any other covenant set forth in this Lease.


Section 5.4.

Late Payment and Return Check Charges . In addition to the interest charges provided for in the preceding Section 5.3, in the event any Rent owing hereunder is not paid within nine (9) calendar days of the due date, Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord will incur additional administrative expenses not herein contemplated, the exact amount of which will be difficult if not impossible to determine. Accordingly, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord an additional one-time late charge for each such late payment in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the amount of such late payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees to waive the collection of such late fee two times per Lease year; provided, however, on the third, and each subsequent late payment in any Lease year, a late fee will be due, and the previous late charges will be reinstated.  Acceptance of such late charges by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies under this Lease.  There shall be an additional charge of Twenty Dollars ($20.00) for any check submitted by Tenant to Landlord which is returned unpaid by Tenant’s bank of depository.


ARTICLE 6.

ADDITIONAL RENT


All other sums as are required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease in addition to Base Rent, including without limitation Operating Costs as defined and determined below in Article 7, shall be referred to as “Additional Rent”.  All such Additional Rent shall be deemed to be Rent and shall be payable in the manner provided and recoverable as Rent and Landlord shall have all rights specified in this Lease against Tenant for default in payment thereof as in the case of arrears of Rent.


ARTICLE 7.

OPERATING COSTS


Section 7.1.

Initial Operating Costs . The Base Rent provided for herein is based, in part, upon Landlord’s estimate of the Operating Costs, as hereinafter defined, of repairing, maintaining and operating the Building Complex during the calendar years of the Term of this Lease.  The “Initial Operating Costs” is stipulated to be the actual Operating Costs per square foot of rentable space in the Building Complex for the Base Year 2012 .  In the event that the actual Operating Costs, as determined below, for any calendar year during the Term of this Lease following the Base Year, exceeds the Initial Operating Costs, Tenant shall pay its proportionate share (the “Tenant’s Proportionate Share”) of the year’s increase in the actual Operating Costs for such year over the Initial Operating Costs. Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be determined, from time to time by Landlord, by dividing the rentable area of the Leased Premises by the rentable area of the Building.  If the Term of this Lease shall begin on a day other than the first day of the calendar year or end on a day other than the last day of the calendar year, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of any increase in the Operating Costs for such year shall be prorated, calculated on a daily basis for the fractional year at the beginning or the end of the Term of this Lease.


Section 7.2.

Definition of Operating Costs .  The term “Operating Costs” as used herein shall mean all expenses, costs and disbursements of every kind and nature, including appropriate reserves, which Landlord

Payment of Estimated Increases and Adjustments .   For each calendar year during the Term of this Lease following the Base Year, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a comparison of the Initial Operating Costs and the Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Operating Costs for such calendar year (the “Estimate Statement”).  Tenant shall thereafter pay in advance in monthly installments, with the Base Rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of any estimated increase in Landlord’s Operating Costs of operating the Building Complex over the Initial Operating Costs.  Such Estimate Statement may be revised from time to time by Landlord, but no more than one time for every six (6) month period under the Lease.  Landlord shall within the period of one hundred twenty (120) calendar days (or as soon thereafter as possible) after the close of each calendar year give Tenant a statement of such year’s actual Operating Costs, together with a reconciliation statement comparing the actual increase, if any, of Operating Costs over the Initial Operating Costs, with the estimated increase paid by Tenant during said year.  In the event such reconciliation statement reveals an underpayment of the increase in Operating Costs, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days, pay to Landlord the amount of such underpayment.  If, on the other hand, the reconciliation statement reveals an overpayment Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant the amount of such overpayment or, at Landlord’s election, credit such amount to the succeeding monthly installments of Base Rent.  Provided, however, no refunds of Operating Costs, or amounts escrowed hereunder, shall be paid to Tenant if Tenant is in default of any of its obligations under the Lease.  The failure of Landlord to submit statements provided for herein shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs.


Section 7.4 .

Audit .  Provided Tenant is not then in default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods), Tenant, at its sole expense, shall have the right at all reasonable times during Landlord’s normal business hours, and upon a minimum of fourteen (14) calendar days written notice, to audit Landlord’s books and records relating to this Lease at a location designated by Landlord.  All such audits shall be performed by a national or regional company with experience in performing such audits.  Audit requests shall be limited to the immediately preceding three (3) calendar years, and the year in which the Commencement Date occurs if such year is not within the said three (3) year period.  No audit may be conducted for a calendar year, or portion thereof, which falls outside the Term of this Lease.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if an audit has previously been conducted for a particular calendar year by this, or any other tenant, Tenant shall accept a copy of the prior audit in lieu of conducting a separate audit.  If such audit discloses an overstatement by Landlord, then Landlord shall immediately refund such overage to Tenant; and if such overstatement is in excess of five percent (5%) (excluding any overstatement caused by mathematical, typographical or clerical errors), Landlord shall also reimburse Tenant for the costs of the audit, not to exceed, however, $1,000.00.  If, on the other hand, the audit discloses an understatement, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord the additional amounts due.

Section 7.5.

Standard of Operation . Landlord agrees that during the Term of this Lease the Building Complex shall be operated in a reasonable and prudent manner as a suburban office building and that all costs and expenses (including salaries and wages) includable in Operating Costs shall be comparable to the generally prevailing costs which would then be paid or incurred therefor by a reasonably prudent operator of a similar office building in the marketplace generally similar to the Building Complex as determined by Landlord.


Section 7.6.

Minimum Rent .   Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 7, the Rent payable by Tenant shall in no event be less than the Base Rent specified in Article 5.1 above.


ARTICLE 8.

HOLDING OVER


Should Tenant hold over after the termination of this Lease, whether such termination occurs by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall become a tenant from day-to-day upon each and all of the terms herein provided as may be applicable to such a tenancy, and any such tenancy shall not constitute an extension of this Lease; provided, however, during such period as a tenant from day-to-day, Tenant shall pay all Additional Rent therefor, together with Base Rent at a rate equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent which was payable for the month immediately preceding the date of termination of this Lease and, in addition, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all damages (consequential as well as direct) sustained by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s occupying the Leased Premises past the termination date. Alternatively, at the election of Landlord and expressed in a written notice to Tenant and not otherwise, such retention of possession past the termination date shall constitute a month-to-month tenancy upon each and all of the terms herein provided as may be applicable to such month-to-month tenancy; provided, however, during such period as a tenant from month-to-month, Tenant shall pay Base Rent at a rate equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent which was payable for the month immediately preceding the date of termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Article 8 shall not exclude nor waive Landlord’s right of re-entry or any other right or remedy hereunder.


ARTICLE 9.

BUILDING SERVICES


Section 9.1.

Standard Services. Landlord agrees to furnish to the Leased Premises during regular business hours from 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. Mondays through Fridays and from 9:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. Saturdays, except for holidays as the same are determined by Landlord, and subject to the rules and regulations of the Building, heat and air conditioning, which in Landlord’s judgment is necessary to provide a reasonably comfortable environment for the use and occupancy of the Leased Premises, and, if necessary, passenger elevator service and, subject to scheduling by Landlord, freight elevator service, if applicable. Landlord shall also furnish: (i) 110 volt, 20 ampere electric current to be supplied for lighting the Leased Premises and public halls, and for the operation of ordinary office equipment, exclusive of heavy-duty equipment, computers, copying equipment, or comparable equipment; (ii) janitorial and cleaning services which in Landlord’s judgment is necessary to provide a reasonably clean environment; and (iii) domestic water, in reasonable quantity. Elevator service, if any, shall mean service by non-attended automatic elevators. Landlord shall also furnish, at rates set from time to time, heating and air conditioning at such other times as are not provided for herein, provided Tenant gives Landlord not less than forty-eight (48) hours written notice of Tenant’s needs for such additional heating or air conditioning. Landlord shall also, at said times, maintain and keep lighted the common stairs, entries, and toilet rooms in the Building that would reasonably be subject to use by Tenant, its agents and employees during other than regular business hours. Landlord also has the right to charge Tenant for energy costs incurred because of Tenant’s above standard service usage or by reason of usage of the Leased Premises or the Building during other than regular business hours.


Section 9.2 .

Interruption of Standard Services . Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for failure to supply any heating, air conditioning, elevator, janitorial services, electric current, or any other service described in Section 9.1 above during any period when Landlord uses reasonable diligence to restore or to supply such services or electric current, it being further agreed that Landlord reserves the right to temporarily discontinue such services or any of them, or electric current at such times as may be necessary by reason of accident, unavailability of employees, repairs, alterations, or improvements, or whenever by reason of strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of God, or any other happening or occurrence beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. If Landlord is unable to furnish such services or electric current, Landlord shall not be liable for damages to persons or property for any such discontinuance, nor shall such discontinuance in any way be construed as a constructive or actual eviction of Tenant or cause an abatement of rent or operate to release Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any interruption of services renders the Leased Premises or any portion of the Leased Premises untenantable for a period longer than five (5) consecutive days after written notice thereof is provided to Landlord, then Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Base Rent in proportion to the area of the Leased Premises that is rendered untenantable.  Such abatement period shall commence upon the expiration of said five (5) consecutive day period. No such abatement shall be provided if such interruption of service is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, subtenants, invitees or assignees or by an act of God, or by matters



5




not caused by the Landlord’s negligence or by matters not within the control of Landlord (including without limitation the interruption of electrical service to the Building through no fault of Landlord).  The Leased Premises shall be considered untenantable if Tenant cannot use the Leased Premises or portion thereof affected in the conduct of its normal business operations as a result of said interruption of service to the Leased Premises.   The abatement herein provided shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy for interruption of service.  Landlord’s obligation to furnish services or electric current shall be conditioned upon the availability of adequate energy sources from the public utility companies then serving the Building Complex. Landlord shall have the right to reduce heating, cooling, or lighting within the Leased Premises and in the public areas in the Building Complex as required by any mandatory or voluntary fuel or energy-saving program.  Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the Leased Premises at all reasonable times in order to make such repairs, alterations, and adjustments as shall be necessary in order to comply with the provisions of any voluntary fuel or energy-saving program or any mandatory statute, regulation, or program.


Section 9.3.

Services Paid by Tenant . Tenant shall separately arrange with the applicable local public authorities or utilities, as the case may be, for the furnishing of and payment for all telephone services as may be required by Tenant in the use of the Leased Premises. Tenant shall directly pay for such telephone services, including the establishment and connection thereof, at the rates charged for such services by said authority or utility, and the failure of Tenant to obtain or to continue to receive such services for any reason whatsoever shall not relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease.


Section 9.4.

Above-Standard Service Requirements.  If heat-generating machines or equipment, including telephone equipment, cause the temperature in the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, to exceed the temperatures the Building's air conditioning system would be able to maintain in such Leased Premises were it not for such heat generating equipment then, Landlord reserves the right to install supplementary air conditioning units in the Leased Premises, and the cost thereof, including without limitation the cost of installation and the cost of operation and maintenance thereof, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand by Landlord.  Tenant shall not, without the written consent of Landlord, use any apparatus or device which will in any way increase the amount of electricity or water which Landlord determines, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, to be reasonable for use of the Leased Premises as general office space, nor connect with electric current (except through existing electrical outlets in the Leased Premises) or water pipes any apparatus or device for the purposes of using electric current, water, or any other energy. If Tenant shall require electric current, water, or any other energy in excess of that which is respectively obtainable from existing electrical outlets or water pipes, and which is, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, above normal for use of the Leased Premises as general office space, Tenant shall first procure the written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may not unreasonably refuse. If Landlord consents to such excess electric, water, or other energy requirements, Tenant shall, on demand, pay all costs of meter service and installation of facilities necessary to measure and/or furnish such excess capacity. Tenant shall also pay the entire cost of such additional electricity, water, or other energy used, including, without limitation, the operation of heavy-duty accounting equipment and copy equipment, computer equipment, and the operation of ordinary office equipment in such numbers that more electric current is required than is necessary for normal business office use as determined by Landlord.


Section 9.5.

Cleaning. Tenant shall not provide any janitorial or cleaning services without Landlord’s written consent, and then only subject to supervision of Landlord, at Tenant’s sole responsibility and cost, and by a janitorial or cleaning contractor or employees at all times satisfactory to Landlord.


Section 9.6.

Parking Rental. Tenant shall be entitled to use the non-exclusive surface parking available in the Building Complex’s parking lots subject to availability, all of which will be provided at no expense to Tenant during the Term of this Lease.  Landlord, at its sole option, shall have the right to assign designated parking spaces to Tenant or designated areas within which Tenant must park at any time during the term of the Lease.   Landlord shall be entitled to assign designated areas of the Building Complex’s parking lots for use by particular persons or groups of persons and Tenant shall refrain from parking in such spaces.  Landlord reserves the right to temporarily eliminate any such parking for construction, maintenance and repair and replacement of Buildings and improvements in the Building Complex.  Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant with regard to the Tenant's use of the parking spaces or with regard to availability of parking spaces for Tenant’s use.  Tenant acknowledges that the Building Complex’s parking lots will not be designated for use by Tenant and that Tenant will use the Building Complex’s parking lots in common with all persons who have business within the Building Complex to whom or which Landlord grants the right to use such spaces.


Section 9.7 .

Re-Lamping.  Landlord shall have the exclusive right to make any replacement of electric light bulbs, fluorescent tubes and ballasts in the Building Complex throughout the Term of this Lease. Landlord may adopt a system of relamping and reballasting periodically on a group basis in accordance with good management practice.


ARTICLE 10.

USE OF LEASED PREMISES


Section 10.1 .

Use.  The Leased Premises shall not be used other than for the purpose set forth in Article 2 of



6




this Lease.  The purpose for which the Leased Premises are used shall at all times comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, or other governmental ordinances from time to time in existence and any easements, declarations, covenants, conditions, and restrictions now or hereafter recorded with respect to the Property.  The Leased Premises shall not be used for any purpose which is related in any manner whatsoever to the marijuana industry (including, but not limited to, a marijuana or medical marijuana dispensary, clinic, paraphernalia shop, grow store, or related use).  The Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Appendix C, as well as additional rules and regulations as may be hereinafter adopted from time to time by Landlord for the safety, care and cleanliness of the Leased Premises and the Building Complex and the preservation of good order thereon, are expressly made a part hereof, and Tenant agrees to obey all such Rules and Regulations and any reasonable modifications thereto adopted by Landlord from time to time.  Tenant further agrees that it shall not use the Leased Premises in violation of any exclusive right of use granted by the Landlord to any other tenant in the Building Complex.


Section 10.2.

Prohibited Use. The Leased Premises shall not be used for any improper or unlawful purpose, or for the carrying on of any barter, trade, or exchange of goods, or sales through promotional give-away gimmicks, or any business involving the sale of second-hand goods, insurance salvage stock, or fire sale stock, and shall not be used for any auction or pawnshop business, any fire sale, bankruptcy sale, going-out-of-business sale, moving sale, bulk sale, or any other business which, because of merchandising methods or otherwise, would tend to lower the first-class character of the Building Complex.  Tenant agrees that it will not store, do or permit anything to be done in or about the Leased Premises, nor keep, use, sell, or offer for sale in or upon the Leased Premises any article which may be prohibited by any insurance policy in force from time to time covering the Building Complex or which would cause the cancellation of any such insurance policies.  In the event Tenant’s occupancy or conduct of business in or on the Leased Premises, whether or not Landlord has consented to the same, results in any increase in premiums for the insurance carried from time to time by Landlord with respect to the Building Complex, Tenant shall pay any such increase in premiums as Rent within ten (10) calendar days after bills for such additional premiums shall be rendered by Landlord. In determining whether increased premiums are a result of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Leased Premises, a schedule issued by the organization computing the insurance rate on the Building Complex showing the various components of such rate, shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make up such rate.  Tenant shall promptly comply with all reasonable requirements of the insurance authority or of any insurer now or hereafter in effect relating to the Leased Premises.


Section 10.3.

Hazardous Materials .  


A.

Tenant warrants, covenants and agrees to conduct its business and operations on and from the Leased Premises in strict compliance and accordance with all federal, state and local environmental laws, regulations, executive orders, ordinances and directives now in force or which may hereafter be in force, including, but not limited to, the following:  Clean Air Act; Clean Water Act; Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; Toxic Substances Control Act; Hazardous Materials Transportation Act; Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act; and all state law counterparts, including, without limitation, the Colorado Hazardous Waste Management Act (collectively referred to as “Environmental Laws”), and any amendments to any such Environmental Laws, and not to cause, suffer or permit any damage or impairment to the health, safety or comfort of any person or to the environment at or on the Leased Premises and surrounding property, including, but not limited to, damage or threatened damage to the soil, air, surface or groundwater resources at the Leased Premises and surrounding property, nor cause, suffer or permit  any condition constituting a nuisance or violation of or resulting in liability under any Environmental Laws.    Except for such as are a part of the ordinary course of Tenant’s business and which are used in compliance with all Environmental Laws and have been approved in writing by Landlord in its sole discretion, Tenant shall not cause or allow anyone else to cause any Hazardous Materials, as herein defined, to be used, generated, stored, brought onto, or disposed of on or about the Leased Premises or the Building Complex without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent can be withheld at the sole discretion of Landlord, and may be revoked at any time.  Tenant shall provide Landlord with immediate notice of any violation of its Environmental Obligations or of any spill, release or discharge of any Hazardous Materials at or affecting the Leased Premises or the Building Complex. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any hazardous or toxic substance, material or waste which is regulated or becomes regulated under any applicable Environmental Laws.  The foregoing obligations of Tenant shall hereinafter collectively be referred to as the “Environmental Obligations.”  Tenant shall assume sole and full responsibility for and shall remedy at its sole expense all violations by Tenant of such Environmental Obligations.

C.

Landlord, and its agents, shall have the right, but not the duty, to inspect the Leased Premises and conduct tests and investigations at any time upon reasonable prior notice to determine whether Tenant is complying with the terms of this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord shall take reasonable steps to minimize any interference with Tenant’s business operations in connection with such tests and investigations.  If Landlord determines from any such inspection, tests or investigations that a violation of Tenant’s Environmental Obligations exists or existed with respect to Hazardous Materials, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand and in addition to all other damages provided for herein, all of Landlord’s costs of such inspection, tests and investigations.


D.

In the event, of any violation of, or failure to comply with, any of the Environmental Obligations by Tenant, Tenant agrees, at its sole cost and expense, promptly to remedy and correct such violation or failure, including all required or appropriate clean up, clean up-related activities and all other appropriate remedial action.  Tenant covenants and agrees to protect, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all obligations, claims, including any investigations, administrative claims and claims for injunctive relief, loss, cost, damage, expense or liability, including, without limitation, any liability arising under any Environmental Laws, plus reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by or asserted against Landlord resulting from any failure or alleged failure of Tenant to comply with the Environmental Obligations. Landlord shall have the right to defend itself in any action, suit or proceeding commenced against Landlord as a result of Tenant’s violation of or alleged failure to comply with the Environmental Obligations, with attorneys and, as necessary, technical consultants chosen by Landlord, and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord all reasonable attorneys’ fees, consultant fees, and other costs in connection therewith incurred by Landlord.  In addition, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure Tenant’s violation of or failure to comply with the Environmental Obligations, at Tenant’s sole expense, and Tenant shall promptly, upon receipt of demand therefor, reimburse Landlord for all amounts expended in connection with such cure.  Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s business but shall not be liable for any interference caused thereby provided that Landlord acts in a commercially reasonable manner.  Neither the written consent by Landlord to the use, generation, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials, nor the compliance by Tenant with all Environmental Laws shall excuse Tenant from its indemnification of Landlord hereunder, which such indemnification shall survive the termination of this Lease.          


E.

Landlord covenants and agrees to protect, indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all obligations, claims, including any investigations, administrative claims and claims for injunctive relief, loss, cost, damage expense or liability, including without limitation any liability arising under any Environmental Laws, plus reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by or asserted against Tenant resulting from any failure of Landlord to comply with any Environmental Laws or regulation, with respect to the Leased Premises prior to the term of this Lease.


Section 10.4.

No Waste.  Tenant shall not commit, suffer, or permit any waste, damage, disfiguration, or injury to the Leased Premises or the Building Complex, or permit or suffer any overloading of the floors thereof, and shall not place any safes, heavy business machinery, computers, data processing machines, or other heavy things in the Leased Premises or the Building Complex without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord and, if required by Landlord, of Landlord’s architect, and shall not use or permit to be used any part of the Leased Premises or the Building Complex for any dangerous, noxious, or offensive trade or business, and shall not cause or permit any nuisance, or unreasonable noise or action in, at, or on the Leased Premises.


Section 10.5.

Protection Against Insurance Cancellation . If any insurance policy on the Building Complex or any part thereof shall be canceled or if cancellation shall be threatened, or if the coverage thereunder shall be reduced or be threatened to be reduced, in any way by reason of the use or occupation of the Leased Premises or any part thereof by Tenant, any assignee or subtenant of Tenant, or by anyone permitted by Tenant to be upon the Leased Premises, and if Tenant fails to remedy the condition giving rise to the cancellation, threatened cancellation, reduction, or threatened reduction of coverage within forty-eight (48) hours after written notice thereof, Landlord may, at its option, enter upon the Leased Premises and attempt to remedy such condition, and Tenant shall forthwith pay the cost thereof to Landlord as Additional Rent, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or injury caused to any property of Tenant or of others located on the Leased Premises as a result of such entry. In the event that Landlord shall be unable to remedy such condition, then Landlord shall have all of the remedies provided for in this Lease in the event of a default by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 10, if Tenant fails to remedy as aforesaid, Tenant shall be in default of its obligation hereunder, and Landlord shall have no obligation to attempt to remedy, and Landlord may pursue all of its remedies provided for in this Lease in the event of a default by Tenant.


ARTICLE 11.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAW


Tenant shall not use the Leased Premises or permit anything to be done in or about the Leased Premises which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance, court or administrative order, or governmental rule or

Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances, court or administrative orders, and governmental rules, regulations, or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be in force, and with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted relating to or affecting the condition, use, or occupancy of the Leased Premises, excluding structural changes not related to or affected by Tenant’s improvements or acts. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in an action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any law, statute, ordinance, or governmental rule, regulation, or requirement, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.


ARTICLE 12.

ALTERATIONS AND REPAIRS


Section 12.1.

Tenant to Maintain .

Except for those matters which are the responsibility of Landlord under Section 12.4 below, Tenant shall, at its sole expense, keep the Leased Premises in good repair and tenantable condition during the Term of this Lease.  Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, make any alterations, improvements, or additions to the Leased Premises, including, but not limited to, partitions, wall coverings, floor coverings, special lighting installations and “cabling”, as hereinafter defined. Provided, however, Tenant shall be allowed to make non-structural, cosmetic alterations, additions or improvements not to exceed $15,000 in value (the “Permitted Alterations”) without Landlord's consent, but Tenant shall nonetheless provide Landlord with ten (10) days advance written notice of all such Permitted Alterations, and shall, with such notice, include plans and specifications therefore, if any.  In the event that Tenant desires to make any alterations, improvements, or additions, Tenant shall first submit to Landlord written plans and specifications therefor and obtain Landlord's written approval thereof prior to commencing any such work. Landlord agrees to approve or disapprove Tenant’s plans and specifications within ten (10) days of delivery of the same to Landlord (Attn: Director of Property Management and Construction), and to provide specific reasons and instructions regarding any disapproved matters.  If Landlord fails to so respond within such ten (10) day period, Tenant may provide Landlord a second written request therefore and if Landlord fails to respond within five (5) days after receipt of such second request the plans and specifications shall be deemed approved.  All alterations, improvements, or additions, whether temporary or permanent in character, made by Landlord or Tenant in or upon the Leased Premises shall become Landlord's property and shall remain upon the Leased Premises at the termination of this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise, without compensation to Tenant (excepting only the following defined “Tenant’s Property”:  Tenant’s movable office furniture; trade fixtures; office and professional equipment;  and “cabling” meaning any network-powered broadband, communication and/or coaxial cables installed by or for the benefit of Tenant).  All of Tenant's Property and, notwithstanding the foregoing, at Landlord's election, any such other alteration, improvement, or addition made by Tenant which is designated for Tenant's removal pursuant to a written notice thereof from Landlord shall, at Tenant's sole cost be removed upon the termination of this Lease.  Tenant shall also, at Tenant’s sole cost, repair any damage caused to the Leased Premises or the Building Complex as a result of any such removal and restore the Leased Premises to its condition prior to the installation of Tenant's Property or any other such other alteration, improvement or addition.  In the event Tenant fails to perform the repairs required hereunder, Landlord shall be entitled to perform the same and recover from Tenant all costs and expenses thereof, including attorneys fees.  The work necessary to make any repairs required pursuant to this Section 12, or to make any alterations, improvements, or additions to the Leased Premises to which Landlord may consent pursuant hereto, shall be at Tenant’s cost and done by employees or contractors employed by Landlord, or with Landlord's consent in writing given prior to the letting of a contract, by contractors employed by Tenant, but in each case, only under written contract approved in writing by Landlord, and subject to all conditions Landlord may impose. Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord or to Tenant's contractors, as the case may be, when due, the cost of all such work and of all decorating or redecorating required by reason thereof, and upon completion, deliver to Landlord, if payment is made directly to Tenant's contractors, evidence of payment and waivers of all liens for labor, services, or materials, and furthermore, Tenant shall defend and hold Landlord, the Leased Premises and the Building Complex harmless from all costs, damages, liens for labor, services or materials and other expenses relating to such work, and shall defend and hold Landlord harmless from all costs, damages, liens, and expenses related thereto, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees. In the event that Landlord incurs any expenses in the removal of trash, or the cleaning of elevators, public corridors, loading areas, and other common areas as a result of Tenant's contractors' work, then Tenant agrees it shall reimburse Landlord within seven (7) calendar days of the date of billing.


Section 12.2.

Protection Against Liens . At least five (5) calendar days prior to the commencement of any work on the Leased Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the names and addresses of the persons supplying labor and materials for the proposed work so that Landlord may avail itself of the provisions of the Colorado Revised Statutes regulating such matters. During the progress of any such work on the Leased Premises, Landlord or its representatives shall have the right to go upon and inspect the Leased Premises at all reasonable times, and shall have the right to post and keep posted thereon notices such as those provided for by Section 38-22-105(2) (C.R.S. 1973), or any other applicable statute, or to take any further action which



9




Landlord may deem to be proper for the protection of Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises and the Building Complex.


Section 12.3.

Condition on Surrender. Tenant shall, at the termination of this Lease, surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord in as good condition and repair as reasonable and proper use thereof will permit, loss by ordinary wear and tear, fire, and other insured against casualty and condemnation or other condition caused by Landlord excepted.  In the event the Leased Premises are not surrendered in such condition, Tenant shall be responsible to Landlord for all damages caused thereby, including for all costs and expenses of repair and replacement to return the Leased Premises to such condition.


Section 12.4.

Landlord’s Obligations.   Subject to Section 12.5 regarding damage caused by Tenant, and the provisions of Article 7 regarding Tenant’s obligation for payment of Operating Costs, Landlord shall repair and maintain all of the Appurtenances and the exterior and structural portions of the Building, including the exterior wall and roof and all other property of Landlord, and shall operate, maintain, repair and replace the systems, facilities and equipment necessary for the proper operation of the Building and for the provision of Landlord’s services under Article 9 hereof.  Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make such repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need for such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant.  There shall be no abatement of Rent by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations, or improvements in or to any portion of the Building Complex or the Leased Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein.  Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under any law, statute or ordinance now or hereinafter in effect.


Section 12.5.

Damage by Tenant .  Any cost or expense incurred by Landlord for the maintenance, repair or replacement of any part of the Building Complex, or any other property of Landlord which is due to the negligence, carelessness, misuse or excessive use of Tenant, its servants, agents, employees, or anyone permitted by Tenant to be in or on the Building Complex, or through Tenant or such parties shall be borne solely by Tenant, who shall, on demand, forthwith pay the same to Landlord as Rent.


ARTICLE 13.

ABANDONMENT


Tenant shall not vacate or abandon the Leased Premises at any time during the Term hereof, and if Tenant shall abandon, vacate, or surrender (whether at the end of the Primary Term or otherwise) the Leased Premises, or shall be dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, then any personal property belonging to Tenant and left on the Leased Premises shall be deemed abandoned.  Provided, however, no such abandonment shall operate to relieve or release Tenant from its obligations pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof.


ARTICLE 14.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING


Section 14.1 .

Limitation on Assignment or Subletting .  Tenant shall not assign this Lease, or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or shall not suffer any other person to occupy or use the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld except as hereinafter expressly otherwise provided. Landlord agrees not to withhold consent to any proposed assignment of Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease or to a subletting of the entire Leased Premises for all of the then remaining term of this Lease less one (1) day, provided Tenant requests the same in writing, and provided: (i) at the time thereof, Tenant is not in default under this Lease, beyond any applicable notice and cure periods; (ii) Landlord, in its discretion reasonably exercised, determines that the reputation, business, proposed use of the Leased Premises, and financial responsibility of and by the proposed assignee or sublessee, as the case may be, are satisfactory to Landlord; (iii) any assignee shall expressly assume all the obligations of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed; (iv) such consent, if given, shall not release Tenant of any of its obligations (including, without limitation, its obligation to pay Rent) under this Lease; and (v) Tenant and/or Tenant’s assignee in the case of an assignment specifically agree to pay over to Landlord, as Rent, all sums provided to be paid under the terms and conditions of such sublease or assignment which would be in excess of the amounts otherwise required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease. Any assignment, subletting, or occupancy without Landlord’s prior written consent shall be void and shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a default under this Lease. Neither this Lease nor any interest therein shall be assignable as to the interest of Tenant by operation of law without the written consent of Landlord, which consent may be arbitrarily withheld.


Section 14.2.

Acceptance of Performance No Waiver . If this Lease be assigned, or if the Leased Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may, after the occurrence of any default under this Lease, collect the Rent from the assignee, subtenant, or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed an acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as the Tenant hereof, or constitute a release of Tenant from further performance by Tenant of all covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained.

Consent by Landlord to any one assignment or subletting shall not in any way be construed as relieving Tenant from obtaining the Landlord’s express written consent to any further assignment or subletting. Notwithstanding the consent of Landlord to any subletting or assignment, Tenant shall not be relieved from its primary obligations hereunder to Landlord including, but not limited to, the payment of all Rent, taxes and insurance premiums as herein provided, and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs.

Section 17.3.

ARTICLE 18.

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION


Section 18.1.

Right to Terminate . In the event the Leased Premises or the Building  are damaged by fire or other insured casualty,  and the insurance proceeds have been made available therefor by the holder or holders of any mortgages or deeds of trust covering the Building, the damage shall be repaired by and at the expense of Landlord to the extent of such insurance proceeds available therefor, provided such repairs can, in Landlord’s sole opinion, be completed within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the occurrence of such damage, without the payment of overtime or other premiums. Until such repairs are completed, the Rent shall be abated in proportion to the part of the Leased Premises which is unusable by Tenant in the conduct of its business; provided, however, if the damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant or its employees, agents, or invitees, there shall be no abatement of Rent.  If repairs cannot, in Landlord’s sole opinion, be made within said one hundred twenty (120) calendar day period, Landlord shall notify Tenant within twenty-five (25) calendar days of the date of occurrence of such damage as to whether or not Landlord shall have elected to make such repairs. If Landlord elects not to make such repairs which cannot be completed within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days, then either party may, by written notice to the other, cancel this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of such damage. Provided, however, Tenant shall in such case not have the right to terminate the Lease if the damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant or its employees, agents or invitees.  In the event that the Leased Premises or Building is damaged such that more than thirty-three percent (33%) of the same is rendered untenantable, or if insurance proceeds are insufficient or unavailable to repair the damage, Landlord may, at its sole option, terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant given not more than thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the damage.  Except as provided in this Section 18, there shall be no abatement of Rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury, inconvenience, temporary limitation of access or interference to or with Tenant’s business or property arising from the making of any necessary repairs, or any alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Leased Premises, or in or to fixtures, appurtenances, and equipment therein necessitated by such damage. Tenant understands that Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on Tenant’s furniture and furnishings or on any fixtures or equipment removable by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease, and that Landlord shall not be required to repair any injury or damage caused by fire or other cause, or to make any repairs or replacements to or of improvements installed in the Leased Premises by or for Tenant at Tenant’s cost.  Unless Landlord has notified Tenant that the Lease shall be terminated, Tenant shall be required to restore all leasehold improvements, fixtures or personal property to their condition prior to the date of such damage, not later than thirty (30) days, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible, after the date by which Landlord has repaired damage to the Leased Premises, whether or not insurance proceeds are available to Tenant for such purpose.


Section 18.2.

Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord covenants and agrees that, throughout the Term hereof, it will insure the Building (excluding foundations, excavations and other non-insurable items) and the machinery, boilers, and equipment contained therein owned by Landlord (excluding any property with respect to which Tenant is obliged to insure pursuant to the provisions of Section 17 hereof) against damage by fire and extended perils coverage in such reasonable amounts as would be carried by a prudent owner of a similar property in the same locale. Landlord will also, throughout the Term, carry public liability and property damage insurance with respect to the operation of the Building in reasonable amounts as would be carried by a prudent owner of a similar property in the same locale. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, take out and carry any other form or forms of insurance as it or the mortgagees of Landlord may reasonably determine to be advisable.  The cost of all such insurance shall be an Operating Cost pursuant to Article 7. Notwithstanding the contribution by Tenant to the cost of insurance premiums, as provided herein, Tenant acknowledges that it has no right to receive any proceeds from any such insurance policies carried by Landlord, and that such insurance will be for the sole benefit of Landlord, with no coverage for Tenant for any risk insured against.


ARTICLE 19.

ENTRY BY LANDLORD


Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises at all reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant, except in the case of an emergency or routine maintenance or services for which no notice shall be required, for the purpose of examining or inspecting the same, to supply janitorial services and any other services to be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, to show same to prospective purchasers or tenants of the Building, and to make such alterations, repairs, improvements, or additions, whether structural  or otherwise,  to the Leased Premises or to the Building Complex as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable and may for that purpose erect temporary scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed, provided that the entrance to the Leased Premises shall not be unreasonably blocked thereby.  Landlord may enter by means of a master key, without liability to Tenant except for any failure to exercise due care for Tenant’s property, and without affecting this Lease. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts on any such entry not to unreasonably interrupt or interfere with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Leased Premises.

Section 20.2 .

Remedies of Landlord.  If any one or more events of default shall happen, then Landlord shall have the right at Landlord’s election, then or at any time thereafter, without demand or notice, to reenter and take possession of the Leased Premises or any part thereof and repossess the same as Landlord’s former estate and expel Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant, and remove the effects of both or either, without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass, and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of Rent or breach of covenants or prior conditions. After recovering possession of the Leased Premises, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages.  Should Landlord take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law including a proceeding for possession pursuant to Colorado’s Forcible Entry and Unlawful Detainer Statutes, Landlord may, from time to time, either:


A.

Without terminating this Lease, attempt to relet the Leased Premises or any part thereof, either alone or in conjunction with other portions of the Building of which the Leased Premises are a part, in Landlord’s or Tenant’s name, but for the account of Tenant, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than a period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease) and on such conditions and upon such other terms (which may include necessary concessions of free rent and alteration and repair of the Leased Premises) as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine, and Landlord may collect and receive the Rents therefor. If Landlord elects to attempt to relet the Leased Premises the following provisions shall apply:



14





(1)

Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Leased Premises after all other space available for leasing in the Building has been let, but, Landlord shall not have any duty to lease the Leased Premises below the then current market rental rates being obtained for competing office buildings in the Denver Metropolitan area and shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any Rent due upon such reletting;


(2)

No such reentry or taking possession of the Leased Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant;


(3)

No notice from Landlord hereunder or under a forcible entry and unlawful detainer statute or similar law shall constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless such notice specifically so states.  Landlord reserves the right following any such reentry and/or reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant such written notice, in which event the Lease will terminate as specified in said notice;


(4)

If Landlord elects to take possession of the Leased Premises as provided in this Section 20.2 without terminating the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (a) the Rent and other sums as herein provided, which would be payable hereunder if such repossession had not occurred, less (b) the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Leased Premises after deducting all Landlord’s expenses in connection with such reletting, including, but without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, expenses of employees, alteration, remodeling and repair costs and expenses of preparation for such reletting; and


(5)

If, in connection with any reletting, the new lease term extends beyond the existing term, or the Leased Premises covered thereby include other leased premises not part of the Leased Premises, a fair apportionment of the rent received from such reletting and the expenses incurred in connection therewith as provided aforesaid will be made in determining the net proceeds received from such reletting.  In addition, in determining the net proceeds from such reletting, any rent concessions will be apportioned over the term of the new lease. Tenant shall pay such other amounts to Landlord monthly on the days on which the Rent and all other amounts owing hereunder would have been payable if possession had not been retaken and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the same from Tenant on each such day.


B.

Give Tenant written notice of intention to terminate this Lease on the date of such given notice, or on any later date specified therein, and on the date specified in such notice, Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Premises shall cease and the Lease shall thereupon be terminated, except as to Tenant’s liability hereunder as hereinafter provided, as if the expiration of the term fixed in such notice were the end of the term herein originally demised. In the event this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph B, or terminated pursuant to a proceeding for possession under the Colorado Forcible Entry and Unlawful Detainer Statutes, Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for damages in an amount equal to the Rent and other sums which would have been owing by Tenant hereunder for the balance of the then current Term had this Lease not been terminated, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Leased Premises by Landlord subsequent to such termination, after deducting all Landlord’s expenses in connection with such reletting, including, but without limitation, the expenses enumerated in paragraph A above. Landlord shall be entitled to collect such damages from Tenant monthly on the days on which the Rent and other amounts would have been payable hereunder if this Lease had not been terminated, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the same from Tenant on each such day. Alternatively, at the option of Landlord, in the event this Lease is terminated, Landlord shall be entitled to recover forthwith against Tenant as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the worth, at the time of termination, of the excess, if any, of the amount of Rent reserved in this Lease for the balance of the then current Term of the Lease over the then reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises for the same period plus all amounts incurred by Landlord in order to obtain possession of the Leased Premises and relet the same, including attorneys’ fees, reletting expenses, alterations and repair costs, brokerage commissions and all other like amounts.


Section 20.3.

Cumulative Remedies.  Suit or suits for the recovery of the Rent and other amounts and damages set forth hereinabove may be brought by Landlord, from time to time, at Landlord’s election, and unless expressly so provided, nothing herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone the filing of such suit. Each right and remedy provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise including but not limited to suits for injunctive relief and specific performance. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Landlord of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.  All such rights and remedies shall be considered cumulative and non-exclusive.  All costs incurred by Landlord in connection with collecting any Rent or other amounts and damages owing by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, or to enforce any provision of



15




this Lease, including reasonable attorneys’ fees from the date such matter is turned over to an attorney, whether or not one or more actions are commenced by Landlord, shall also be recoverable by Landlord from Tenant.


Section 20.4.

No Waiver.  No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any agreement, term, covenant or condition hereof or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent or any other amounts owing by Tenant during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such agreement, term, covenant or condition. No agreement, term, covenant or condition hereof to be performed or complied with by Tenant, and no breach thereof, shall be waived, altered or modified except by written instrument executed by Landlord. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every agreement, term, covenant and condition hereof shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof. Notwithstanding any termination of this Lease, the same shall continue in force and effect as to any provisions which require observance or performance by Landlord or Tenant subsequent to such termination.


Section 20.5.

Bankruptcy .  Nothing contained in this Article 20 shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and obtain as liquidated damages in any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or dissolution proceeding, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law governing such a proceeding and in effect at the time when such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal or less than the amounts recoverable, either as damages or Rent, referred to in any of the preceding provisions of this Article 20.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 20 to the contrary, any such proceeding or action involving bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement assignment for the benefit of creditors, or appointment of a receiver or trustee, as set forth above, shall be considered to be an event of default only when such proceeding, action or remedy shall be taken or brought by or against the then holder of the leasehold estate under this Lease.


Section 20.6.

Interest on Landlord’s Advances .  Any amounts paid by Landlord to cure any defaults of Tenant hereunder, which Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to do, shall, if not repaid by Tenant within nine (9) calendar days of demand by Landlord, thereafter bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum.


ARTICLE 21.

TAXES


During the Term hereof, Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, all business and other taxes, charges, notes, duties and assessments levied, and rates or fees imposed, charged, or assessed against or in respect of Tenant’s occupancy of the Leased Premises or in respect of the personal property, trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and all other personal property of Tenant contained in the Leased Premises, and shall hold Landlord harmless from and against all payment of such taxes, charges, notes, duties, assessments, rates, and fees, and against all loss, costs, charges, notes, duties, assessments, rates, and fees, and any and all such taxes. Tenant shall cause said fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real and personal property of Landlord. In the event any or all of Tenant’s fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and other personal property shall be assessed and taxed with Landlord’s real property, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s share of such taxes within twenty (20) calendar days after delivery to Tenant by Landlord of a statement in writing setting forth the amount of such taxes applicable to Tenant’s property.  Tenant shall also pay, as an Operating Cost as determined under Article 7, its Proportionate Share of all real estate taxes, general or special, all public rates, dues and special assessments of every kind or nature which shall become due and payable or which are assessed against or levied upon the Building Complex during the Term of this Lease.


ARTICLE 22.

EMINENT DOMAIN


If the Building, or a substantial part thereof, or a substantial part of the Leased Premises, shall be lawfully taken or condemned (or conveyed under threat of such taking or condemnation) for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, the Term of this Lease shall end upon, and not before, the date of the taking of possession by the condemning authority, and without apportionment of the award. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant’s interest, if any, in such award. Current Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. If any part of the Building, other than the Leased Premises, not constituting a substantial part of the Building, shall be so taken or condemned  (or conveyed under threat of such taking or condemnation), or if the grade of any street adjacent to the Building Complex is changed by any competent authority and such taking or change of grade makes it necessary or desirable to substantially remodel, replace or restore any part of the Building Complex, Landlord shall have the right to cancel this Lease upon not less than ninety (90) calendar days’ notice prior to the date of cancellation designated in the notice. No money or other consideration shall be payable by Landlord to Tenant for the right of cancellation, and Tenant shall have no right to share in any condemnation award, or in any judgment for damages, or in any proceeds of any sale made under any threat of condemnation or taking. In the event this Lease is not canceled, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect, without abatement or reduction of rental due hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing



16




contained herein shall prevent Tenant from commencing a separate proceeding against the condemning authority to recover any award it may be entitled to as a result of such taking or condemnation.


ARTICLE 23.

SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGES AND DEEDS OF TRUST


Section 23.1.

Lease Subordinate to Mortgages .  This Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder shall be and are hereby made subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgages or deeds of trust now or hereafter existing against the Building, the Property or both, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and to all advances made, or hereafter to be made, upon the security thereof. Although such subordination shall be self operating, Tenant, or its successors in interest, shall upon Landlord’s request, execute and deliver upon the demand of Landlord any and all instruments desired by Landlord, subordinating, in the manner reasonably requested by Landlord, this Lease to any such mortgage or deed of trust and Tenant’s failure to do so upon demand shall constitute a default under this Lease.  Landlord shall upon Tenant’s request execute a Nondisturbance Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust on the Property.


Should any mortgage or deed of trust affecting the Building, the Property or both, be foreclosed, then; (1) the liability of the mortgagee, beneficiary or purchaser at such foreclosure sale shall exist only so long as such mortgagee beneficiary, or purchaser is the owner of the Building and/or Property and such liability shall not continue or survive after further transfer of ownership; and (2) Tenant shall be deemed to have attorned, as Tenant under this Lease, to the purchaser at any foreclosure sale thereunder, and this Lease shall continue in force and effect as a direct lease between and binding upon Tenant and such purchaser at any foreclosure sale. As used in this Article 23, “mortgagee” and “beneficiary” shall include successors and assigns of any such party, whether immediate or remote, the purchaser of any mortgage or deed of trust, whether at foreclosure or otherwise, and the successors, assigns and mortgagees and beneficiaries of such purchaser, whether immediate or remote.


Section 23.2.

Tenant’s Notices . In the event of any act or omission by Landlord under this Lease which would give Tenant the right to terminate this Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, if any, Tenant will not exercise any such right until:


(A)

it has given written notice (by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid) of such act or omission to the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust on the Property (whose names and addresses Landlord agrees will be furnished to Tenant on request); and


(B)

any such holder of any mortgage or deed of trust on the  Property shall,  following the  giving of such notice,  have failed with reasonable diligence to commence and to pursue reasonable action to remedy such act or omission.


ARTICLE 24.

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE


Tenant shall, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than seven (7) calendar days following receipt of prior written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and such other matters concerning this Lease and the Tenant as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, its lenders, or any potential assignee of Landlord including the dates to which the Rent and other charges are paid, and acknowledging that Tenant is paying Rent on a current basis with no offsets or claims, and there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder (or specifying such offsets, claims, or defaults, if any are claimed). It is expressly understood and agreed that any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Building Complex or by any other person to whom it is delivered. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement, after having received a second notice from Landlord providing Tenant with three (3) additional calendar days to provide such statement, shall be conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, and that not more than two (2) months, rental has been paid in advance.


ARTICLE 25.

WAIVER


The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant, or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition, or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant, or condition herein contained. The acceptance of Rent or any other sums due by Tenant hereunder shall not be construed to be a waiver of any breach by Tenant of any term, covenant, or condition of this Lease, it being understood and agreed that the remedies herein given to Landlord shall be cumulative, and



17




the exercise of any one remedy by Landlord shall not be to the exclusion of any other remedy.

ARTICLE 33.

SECURITY DEPOSIT


Section 33.1.

Amount and Use .  Tenant has, upon Lease execution, deposited with Landlord the sum of Six Thousand Three Hundred Fifty-Eight and 00/100 ($6,358.00) (the “Security Deposit”) as security for the full and faithful performance of every provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, Landlord may use, apply, or retain all or any part of this Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent and any other sum in default, or for the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. If any portion of such Security Deposit is to be used or applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) calendar days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep this Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on such deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder) within a reasonable period of time after the expiration of this Lease Term and upon Tenant’s vacation of the Leased Premises, provided, however, the Security Deposit may be retained by Landlord as security for Tenant’s obligations under Article 7 until after the final determination of the Operating Costs for the calendar year in which the Lease expired.  Any amounts due from Tenant under said Article 7 may be deducted from the Security Deposit prior to the return of the balance thereof.


Section 33.2.

Transfer of Deposit .  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to transfer its interest in the Building Complex, the Property and this Lease, and Tenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer, Landlord shall have the right to transfer such Security Deposit to the transferee. Upon Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of such transferee’s written acknowledgment of its receipt of such Security Deposit Landlord shall thereby be released by Tenant from all liability or obligation for the return of such deposit, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such transferee for the return of the Security Deposit.


ARTICLE 34.

B.

To install, affix, and maintain any and all signs on the exterior and interior of the Building or the Property;

F.

To have and retain a paramount title to the Leased Premises, free and clear of any act of Tenant;


G.

To grant to anyone the exclusive right to conduct any business or to render any services in the Building; and


H.

To approve the weight, size, and location of safes and other heavy equipment and articles in and about the Leased Premises and the Building, and to require all such items and furniture to be moved into and out of the Building and the Leased Premises only at such times and in such manner as Landlord shall direct in writing. Movement of Tenant’s property into or out of the Building, and within the Building, is entirely at the risk and responsibility of Tenant, and Landlord reserves the right to require permits before allowing any such property to be moved into or out of the Building.


ARTICLE 35.

SUBSTITUTION OF SPACE


Landlord reserves the right, upon sixty (60) calendar days’ written notice to Tenant, and at any time, without any adjustment in Rent, to substitute for the space described on Appendix A other substantially similar space in a substantially comparable location on the same floor or any other floor of the Building, which substitute space shall be approximately equal in area and dimensions to the space described on Appendix A. If Landlord shall exercise said option, the substituted space shall thereafter be deemed, for the purposes hereof, the “Leased Premises” and a new amended Appendix A to this Lease showing the new space will be substituted for the original Appendix A. Landlord agrees to pay the Tenant’s expenses to move its furniture, fixtures and equipment to such substituted space, and shall pay other reasonable expenses of Tenant incurred as a direct result of such substitution of space, including but not limited to costs of new stationary and advertising.


ARTICLE 36.

REAL ESTATE BROKER


Tenant represents that Tenant has dealt directly and only with Cushman & Wakefield, as Landlord’s broker, in connection with this Lease, and that insofar as Tenant knows, no other broker negotiated or participated in the negotiations of this Lease, or submitted or showed the Leased Premises, or is entitled to any commission in connection herewith.  Tenant agrees to indemnify and defend Landlord from any claims or demands of any other brokers.


ARTICLE 37.

INDUCEMENT RECAPTURE IN THE EVENT OF DEFAULT


Any agreement by Landlord for free or abated rent or other charges applicable to the Leased Premises, or for the giving or paying by Landlord to or for Tenant of any cash or other bonus, inducement or consideration for Tenant's entering into this Lease, including, but not limited to, any tenant finish allowance, free parking or commissions, all of which concessions are hereinafter referred to as “Inducement Provisions" shall be deemed conditioned upon Tenant's full and faithful performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant during the term hereof as the same may be extended.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default of the Lease by Tenant, any such Inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted from the Lease and of no further force or effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus, inducement or consideration theretofore abated, given or paid by Landlord under such an Inducement Provision shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant to Landlord, and recoverable by Landlord, as additional rent due under the Lease, notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said event of default by Tenant.  The acceptance by Landlord of rent or the cure of the event of default which initiated the operation of this Article 37 shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of the provisions of this Article 37 unless specifically so stated in writing by Landlord at the time of such acceptance.  






20




ARTICLE 38.

REMOVAL OF CABLING


Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost of installation and maintenance of any high speed cable or fiber optic that Tenant requires in the Leased Premises.  Landlord shall provide reasonable access to the Building's electrical lines, feeders, risers, wiring and other machinery to enable Tenant to install high speed cable or fiber optic to serve its intended purpose, if any.  All such cabling installed shall be tagged by Tenant at their point of entry into the Building, at the terminal end of the cable and in the riser closet indicating the type of cable, the Tenant’s name and the service provided.  Tenant shall be responsible for the removal of such cabling and fiber optic at the termination or expiration of the Term or the early termination of the Tenant’s right to occupy the Leased Premises.  Failure to remove any abandoned or unused cabling at the expiration or termination of the Lease or the early termination of Tenant’s right to occupy the Leased Premises will be deemed to be a holdover under Article 8 of the Lease.  In the event Tenant fails to remove such cabling as set forth herein, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, remove such cabling, all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.


ARTICLE 39.

this Lease may be so modified.


G.

All rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease, or those which may be provided by law, may be exercised by Landlord in its own name individually, or in its name by its agent, and all legal proceedings for the enforcement of any such rights or remedies, including distress for rent, unlawful detainer, and any other legal or equitable proceedings, may be commenced and prosecuted to final judgment and be executed by Landlord in its own name individually or in its name by its agent.

THIS NOTICE OF AFTER-HOURS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES shall serve as guidance to Tenant as to the types of calls that are deemed emergencies, as well as the proper phone number to use for such emergency calls.  

 

For any emergency, call our main number 303-796-8288.   During regular business hours dial 0 to reach the receptionist and provide the necessary information so that the call can be dispatched to the appropriate building engineer.   After business hours the recorded message will instruct callers to dial the on-call engineer’s mailbox at extension 3337.  Leave a brief message stating the problem, the property address, your name and a call-back number.  Upon completion of the call, the on-call engineer will be paged and will respond to the call appropriately.

 

Emergencies are considered situations in which life or property is threatened .  Examples of true emergencies requiring the building engineer to respond immediately include:  elevator entrapment; fire; flood; broken water pipe; power outage; building damaged by foreign object such as fallen power lines, fallen tree, car crash, or break-in.

 

Non-emergency calls should not go through the on-call process .  Routine maintenance calls should be placed prior to 3:00 p.m. on regular business days with the building engineer assigned to your property.  Examples of routine/non-emergency situations include:  locked out of suite, dropped keys down toilet or elevator shaft, access to phone closet, hot/cold comfort, light bulbs, janitorial.

 

Frequently, we get requests from tenant employees for access into the suite or building because they forgot their keys, lost their keys, locked their keys in the suite, forgot the building access code, etc.  Since we do not know who is authorized to enter your suite at any given time, it is our policy to not let anyone into a locked suite or provide a building access code over the telephone.  Anyone who is “locked-out” must call a co-worker to let them in.   

 

Acknowledgement:

 

I hereby acknowledge that Tenant is responsible to establish its own procedures for placing maintenance calls to the building engineers and to properly distinguish between emergency and non-emergency calls, and that DPC Development Company employees and/or agents are not responsible to respond to non-emergency calls until the next business day, nor are they responsible to provide access into the Leased Premises for employees that are locked out.  I also acknowledge that DPC Development Company may process, at its discretion, a $25.00 fee for any and all after-hour requests that are not deemed to be an emergency as defined above.

Heatwurx, Inc. Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

1.

Introduction .

1.1

 The Board of Directors of Heatwurx, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the " Company ") has adopted this Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (the " Code ") in order to:

(a)

promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest;

(b)

promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the " SEC ") and in other public communications made by the Company;

(c)

promote compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

(d)

promote the protection of Company assets, including corporate opportunities and confidential information;

(e)

promote fair dealing practices;

(f)

deter wrongdoing; and

(g)

ensure accountability for adherence to the Code.

1.2

All directors, officers and employees are required to be familiar with the Code, comply with its provisions and report any suspected violations as described below in Section 10 , Reporting and Enforcement .

2.

Honest and Ethical Conduct .

2.1

The Company's policy is to promote high standards of integrity by conducting its affairs honestly and ethically.

2.2

Each director, officer and employee must act with integrity and observe the highest ethical standards of business conduct in his or her dealings with the Company's customers, suppliers, partners, service providers, competitors, employees and anyone else with whom he or she has contact in the course of performing his or her job.

3.

Conflicts of Interest .

3.1

A conflict of interest occurs when an individual's private interest (or the interest of a member of his or her family) interferes, or even appears to interfere, with the interests of the Company as a whole. A conflict of interest can arise when an employee, officer or director (or a member of his or her family) takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work for the Company objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest also arise when an employee, officer or director (or a member of his or her family) receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in the Company.

3.2

Loans by the Company to, or guarantees by the Company of obligations of, employees or their family members are of special concern and could constitute improper personal benefits to the recipients of such loans or guarantees, depending on the facts and circumstances. Loans by the Company to, or guarantees by the Company of obligations of, any director or executive officer or their family members are expressly prohibited.

3.3

Whether or not a conflict of interest exists or will exist can be unclear. Conflicts of interest should be avoided unless specifically authorized as described in Subsection 3.4 .

3.4

Persons other than directors and executive officers who have questions about a potential conflict of interest or who become aware of an actual or potential conflict should discuss the matter with, and seek a determination and prior authorization or approval from, their supervisor or the Chief Financial Officer. A supervisor may not authorize or approve conflict of interest matters or make determinations as to whether a problematic conflict of interest exists without first providing the Chief Financial Officer with a written description of the activity and seeking the Chief Financial Officer's written approval. If the supervisor is himself involved in the potential or actual conflict, the matter should instead be discussed directly with the Chief Financial Officer.

Directors and executive officers must seek determinations and prior authorizations or approvals of potential conflicts of interest exclusively from the Audit Committee.

4.

Compliance .

4.1

Employees, officers and directors should comply, both in letter and spirit, with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in the cities, states and countries in which the Company operates.

4.2

Although not all employees, officers and directors are expected to know the details of all applicable laws, rules and regulations, it is important to know enough to determine when to seek advice from appropriate personnel. Questions about compliance should be addressed to the Chief Financial Officer.

4.3

No director, officer or employee may purchase or sell any Company securities while in possession of material non-public information regarding the Company, nor may any director, officer or employee purchase or sell another company's securities while in possession of material non-public information regarding that company. It is against Company policies and illegal for any director, officer or employee to use material non-public information regarding the Company or any other company to:

(a)

obtain profit for himself or herself; or

(b)

directly or indirectly "tip" others who might make an investment decision on the basis of that information.

5.

Disclosure .

5.1

The Company's periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC, including all financial statements and other financial information, must comply with applicable federal securities laws and SEC rules.

5.2

Each director, officer and employee who contributes in any way to the preparation or verification of the Company's financial statements and other financial information must ensure that the Company's books, records and accounts are accurately maintained. Each director, officer and employee must cooperate fully with the Company's Accounting and Internal Audit Departments, as well as the Company's independent public accountants and counsel.

5.3

Each director, officer and employee who is involved in the Company's disclosure process must:

(a)

be familiar with and comply with the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting; and

(b)

take all necessary steps to ensure that all filings with the SEC and all other public communications about the financial and business condition of the Company provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure.

6.

Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets .

6.1

All directors, officers and employees should protect the Company's assets and ensure their efficient use. Theft, carelessness and waste have a direct impact on the Company's profitability and are prohibited.

6.2

All Company assets should be used only for legitimate business purposes[, though incidental personal use is permitted. Any suspected incident of fraud or theft should be reported for investigation immediately.

6.3

The obligation to protect Company assets includes the Company's proprietary information. Proprietary information includes intellectual property such as trade secrets, patents, trademarks, and copyrights, as well as business and marketing plans, engineering and manufacturing ideas, designs, databases, records and any non-public financial data or reports. Unauthorized use or distribution of this information is prohibited and could also be illegal and result in civil or criminal penalties.

7.

Corporate Opportunities . All directors, officers and employees owe a duty to the Company to advance its interests when the opportunity arises. Directors, officers and employees are prohibited from taking for themselves personally (or for the benefit of friends or family members) opportunities that are discovered through the use of Company assets, property, information or position.  Directors, officers and employees may not use Company assets, property, information or position for personal gain (including gain of friends or family members). In addition, no director, officer or employee may compete with the Company.

8.

Confidentiality . Directors, officers and employees should maintain the confidentiality of information entrusted to them by the Company or by its customers, suppliers or partners, except when disclosure is expressly authorized or legally required. Confidential information includes all non-public information (regardless of its source) that might be of use to the Company's competitors or harmful to the Company or its customers, suppliers or partners if disclosed.

9.

Fair Dealing . Each director, officer and employee must deal fairly with the Company's customers, suppliers, partners, service providers, competitors, employees and anyone else with whom he or she has contact in the course of performing his or her job. No director, officer or employee may take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse or privileged information, misrepresentation of facts or any other unfair dealing practice.

10.

Reporting and Enforcement .

10.1

Reporting and Investigation of Violations.

(a)

Actions prohibited by this code involving directors or executive officers must be reported to the Audit Committee.

(b)

Actions prohibited by this code involving any other person must be reported to the reporting person's supervisor or the Chief Financial Officer.

After receiving a report of an alleged prohibited action, the Audit Committee, the relevant supervisor, or the Chief Financial Officer must promptly take all appropriate actions necessary to investigate.

(d)

All directors, officers and employees are expected to cooperate in any internal investigation of misconduct.

10.2

Enforcement.

The Company must ensure prompt and consistent action against violations of this Code.

(b)

If, after investigating a report of an alleged prohibited action by a director or executive officer, the Audit Committee determines that a violation of this Code has occurred, the Audit Committee will report such determination to the Board of Directors.

(c)

If, after investigating a report of an alleged prohibited action by any other person, the relevant supervisor or the Chief Financial Officer determines that a violation of this Code has occurred, the supervisor or the Chief Financial Officer will report such determination to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

(d)

Upon receipt of a determination that there has been a violation of this Code, the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer will take such preventative or disciplinary action as it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, reassignment, demotion, dismissal and, in the event of criminal conduct or other serious violations of the law, notification of appropriate governmental authorities.

10.3

Waivers.

(a)

Each of the Audit Committee (in the case of a violation by a director or executive officer) and the Chief Executive Officer (in the case of a violation by any other person) may, in its discretion, waive any violation of this Code.

(b)

Any waiver for a director or an executive officer shall be disclosed as required by SEC and any applicable stock exchange rules.

10.4

Prohibition on Retaliation.
