2

authorized to do so, and (iii) this Amendment constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Borrower, enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

5.                                      Additional Documents.  Borrowers shall execute and deliver, and shall cause to be executed and delivered, to the Agents or the Lenders at any time and from time to time such documents and instruments, including without limitation additional amendments to the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, as the Agents or the Lenders may reasonably request to confirm and carry out the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith.

6.                                      Continuation of the Credit Agreement and Loan Documents.  Except as specified in this Amendment, the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect, and if there is a conflict between the terms of this Amendment and those of the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents, the terms of this Amendment shall control.  This Amendment is a Loan Document.

7.                                      Ratification and Reaffirmation of Obligations by Borrower.  Each Borrower hereby (a) ratifies and confirms all of its Obligations under the Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, and acknowledges and agrees that such Obligations remain in full force and effect, and (b) ratifies, reaffirms and reapproves in favor of the Agents and each Lender, as applicable, the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (without limitation), its pledges and other grants of Liens and security interests pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

8.                                      Release and Indemnification.

(a)                                 Each Borrower and each Guarantor hereby fully, finally, and forever releases and discharges the Agents and each Lender, and their respective successors, assigns, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, from any and all causes of action, claims, debts, demands and liabilities, of whatever kind or nature, in law or equity, of any Borrower or any Guarantor, whether now known or unknown to any Borrower or any Guarantor in respect of (a) the Obligations under the Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents or (b) the actions or omissions of any Agent or any Lender in any manner related to the Obligations under the Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents; provided that this Section shall only apply to and be effective with respect to events or circumstances existing or occurring prior to and including the date of this Amendment.

(b)                                 Without limiting Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement, each Borrower and each Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each and all of the Agents and Lenders (each an “Indemnified Party” and collectively the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all accounts, covenants, agreements, obligations, claims, debts, liabilities, offsets, demands, costs, expenses, actions or causes of action of every nature, character and description, whether arising at law or equity or under statute, regulation or otherwise, and

3

whether liquidated or unliquidated, contingent or noncontingent, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected (“Claims”), arising from or made under any legal theory, which any of Indemnified Parties may incur as a direct or indirect consequence of or in relation to any acts or omissions of any Borrower or any Guarantor arising from or relating to any of: (i) the Loan Documents; (ii) this Amendment; or (iii) any documents executed by any Borrower or any Guarantor in connection with this Amendment.  Should any Indemnified Party incur any such Claims, or defense of or response to any Claims or demand related thereto, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees, shall be added to the amounts due under the Loan Documents, and shall be secured by any and all liens created under and pursuant to the Loan Documents.  This indemnity shall survive until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the termination, release or discharge of any Borrower and any Guarantor.  To the extent permissible under applicable law, this indemnity shall not limit any other rights of indemnification, subrogation or assignment, whether explicit, implied, legal or equitable, that any Indemnified Party may have; provided that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to indemnification to the extent that a Claim arises out of the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

9.                                      Miscellaneous.

(a)                                 THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS) OF THE STATE OF COLORADO, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.  This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permissible assigns.

(b)                                 All representations and warranties made in this Amendment, the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document including any Loan Document furnished in connection with this Amendment shall survive the execution and delivery of this Amendment and the other related Loan Documents, and no investigation by the Agents or any Lender or any closing shall affect the representations and warranties or the right of the Agents or any Lender to rely upon them.

(c)                                  This Amendment and all documents to be executed and delivered hereunder may be delivered in the form of a facsimile copy, subsequently confirmed by delivery of the originally executed document.  This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

(d)                                 This Amendment, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other instruments, documents and agreements executed and delivered in connection with this Amendment, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.  There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.  This Amendment may not be amended or modified orally, but only by a written agreement meeting the requirements of Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

4

(e)                                  The section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

(f)                                   Other than as expressly stated herein, this Amendment and the amendments set forth herein do not constitute a waiver by Lenders and Agents of Borrower’s or any other Loan Party’s compliance with any covenants, or a waiver of any Defaults or Events of Default, under the Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, and shall not entitle the Borrowers or any other Loan Party to any similar or other amendments in the future.  Without limiting the foregoing, except as specifically set forth herein, Lenders and Agents continue to reserve all rights and remedies available to Lenders and Agent under the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, under law (including without limitation Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code) and at equity.

(g)                                  In case any provision of or obligation under this Amendment shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
