(a) Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare and deliver to Seller a balance sheet (the "Effective Date Balance Sheet") for the Company as of the close of business on the Effective Date (determined on a pro forma basis in accordance with GAAP as though the transactions contemplated by this Agreement had not occurred). The Effective Date Balance Sheet will include a determination of the Effective Date Net Book Value of the Company as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Effective Date. The term "Effective Date Net Book Value" means the excess of assets over liabilities shown on the Effective Date Balance Sheet. Buyer will make the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Effective Date Balance Sheet available to Seller and Seller's accountants and other representatives at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice at any time during (i) Seller's review of the Effective Date Balance Sheet and (ii) the resolution by Buyer and Seller of any objections thereto. (b) Seller may object to the Effective Date Balance Sheet on the basis that it was not prepared in accordance with GAAP or that the calculation of Effective Date Net Book Value contains mathematical errors. If Seller has any objections to the Effective Date Balance Sheet or the Effective Date Net Book Value, Seller will deliver a detailed statement describing such objections to Buyer within 30 days after receiving the Effective Date Balance Sheet. Buyer and Seller will attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections. If Buyer and Seller do not reach a resolution of all objections within 30 days after Buyer has received the statement of objections, Buyer and Seller will select a mutually acceptable accounting firm to resolve any remaining objections. If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree on the choice of an accounting firm, they shall select a nationally recognized accounting firm by lot (after excluding their respective regular outside accounting firms). The accounting firm will resolve any such objections and recalculate, to the extent not prepared in accordance with GAAP, the amounts to be included in the Effective Date Balance Sheet and the Effective Date Net Book Value. The parties will provide the accounting firm, within 10 days of its selection, with a definitive statement of the position of each party with respect to each unresolved objection and shall advise the accounting firm that the parties accept the accounting firm as the appropriate Person to interpret this Agreement for all purposes relevant to the resolution of the unresolved objections. Buyer will provide the accounting firm access to the books and records of the Company. The accounting firm will have 30 days to carry out a review of the unresolved objections and prepare a written statement of its determination regarding each unresolved objection. The determination of any accounting firm so selected will be set forth in writing and shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. Buyer will revise the Effective Date Balance Sheet and the determination of the Effective Date Net Book Value as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to this Section 1.04(b). 4 (c) If Buyer and Seller submit any unresolved objections to an accounting firm for resolution as provided in Section 1.04(b), the party whose determination of Effective Date Net Book Value (calculated based on such party's position regarding the Effective Date Balance Sheet) is furthest from the Effective Date Net Book Value determined by the accounting firm (based on its resolution of the parties' objections submitted for determination) shall bear its own costs and expenses, the fees and expenses of the accounting firm and the out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including legal fees and costs) of the other party. Judgment upon the award rendered by the accounting firm may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. (d) Within 10 business days after the date on which the Effective Date Net Book Value is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.04, Seller will pay to Buyer the amount, if any, by which the Effective Date Net Book Value is less than ($53,147), which amount, after excluding the Company's liabilities other than the Retained Liabilities, was the Company's net book value on April 30, 2002. Such payment will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer, and will include simple interest thereon at the annual rate of 2% from the Closing Date to the date of payment. No payment made pursuant to this Section 1.04 will preclude any remedy provided in this Agreement or otherwise for any breach of representation, warranty or covenant, and the remedy provided in this Agreement for any breach of representation, warranty or covenant or otherwise will not preclude the adjustment provided in this Section 1.04.

Such written notice shall have attached thereto the complaint or other 25 papers pursuant to which the third party commenced such Third Party Action. The failure promptly to give such notice shall not affect any Indemnified Party's ability to seek indemnification hereunder unless such failure has materially and adversely affected the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend successfully the relevant Third Party Action.

Such contest and defense shall be conducted by reputable attorneys retained by the Indemnifying Party. (c) An Indemnified Party shall be entitled at any time, at its own cost and expense (which expense shall not constitute a Buyer Loss or a Seller Loss unless the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that the Indemnifying Party is not adequately representing or, because of a conflict of interest, may not adequately represent, the interests of the Indemnified Party, and only to the extent that such expenses are reasonable), to participate in such contest and defense and to be represented by attorneys of its or their own choosing. If the Indemnified Party elects to participate in such defense, the Indemnified Party will cooperate with Indemnifying Party in the conduct of such defense. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party to the extent it reasonably requests such cooperation in the contest and defense of such Third Party Action, including providing reasonable access (upon reasonable notice) to the books, records and employees of the Indemnified Party if relevant to the defense of such Third Party Action; provided, that such cooperation shall not unduly disrupt the operations of the business of the Indemnified Party or cause the Indemnified Party to waive any statutory or common law privileges, breach any confidentiality obligations owed to third parties or otherwise cause any trade secret or confidential information of such Indemnified Party to become public. (d) Neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party may concede, settle or compromise any Third Party Action without the consent of the other party, which consents will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if a Third Party Action seeks the issuance of an injunction, the specific election of an obligation or similar remedy, or (ii) if the subject matter of a Third Party Action relates to the ongoing business of any Indemnified Party, which Third Party Action, if decided against the Indemnified Party, would materially adversely affect the ongoing business or reputation of the Indemnified Party, then, in each such case, the Indemnified Party alone shall be entitled to contest, defend and settle such Third Party Action in the first instance and, if the Indemnified Party does not contest, defend or settle such Third Party Action, the Indemnifying Party 26 shall then have the right to contest and defend (but not settle) such Third Party Action. 5.07 Method of Asserting Claims-Other Actions. (a) If an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnification hereunder against an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Action (including a claim for indemnification with respect to a third party claim that is not yet the subject of a Third Party Action), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. Such written notice shall state in reasonable detail the factual basis for such claim to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party and the nature of the Buyer Loss or Seller Loss for which indemnification is sought, and it may state the amount of the Buyer Loss or Seller Loss claimed. The failure promptly to give such notice shall not affect any Indemnified Party's ability to seek indemnification hereunder unless either (i) such failure has materially and adversely affected the ability of the Indemnifying Party to investigate such claim, or (ii) such notice is given after the end of the period specified in Section 5.04. If such notice states the amount of the Buyer Loss or Seller Loss claimed and the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party does not dispute the claim described in such notice or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within 30 days after its receipt of such notice whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim described in such notice, the Buyer Loss or Seller Loss in the amount specified in the Indemnified Party's notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Buyer Loss or Seller Loss to the Indemnified Party. (b) If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through such negotiations within 20 days after receipt of the Indemnified Party's notice of such claim, such dispute shall be resolved fully and finally in Denver, Colorado, by an arbitrator selected pursuant to and an arbitration governed by Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as modified herein. The parties will jointly appoint a mutually acceptable independent arbitrator, seeking assistance in such regard from the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall resolve the dispute based on the governing law, without regard to its rules of evidence, and judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall each bear their own fees and expenses in connection with such arbitration and shall each bear 50% of the fees and expenses of the arbitrator. (c) If a notice is given pursuant to this paragraph within the period specified by Section 5.04, which does not state the amount of the Buyer Loss or Seller Loss claimed, such omission shall not preclude the Indemnified Party from recovering from the Indemnifying Party, during or subsequent to such period, the amount of 27 its Buyer Loss or Seller Loss with respect to the claim described in such notice. If a notice is given pursuant to this paragraph within the period specified by Section 5.04, concerning a third party claim which is not yet the subject of a Third Party Action and such third party claim subsequently becomes the subject of a Third Party Action, the Indemnified Party also shall provide the notice required by Section 5.06(a) at the time required by that section. 5.08 Miscellaneous Indemnification Provisions. (a) Upon the determination of an Indemnifying Party's liability for a Buyer Loss or a Seller Loss pursuant to this Article V and the amount of such Buyer Loss or Seller Loss (whether such determination is made pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Article V, by agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, by arbitration award or by final adjudication), the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Buyer Loss or Seller Loss to the Indemnified Party within 10 days following such determination. (b) The rights set forth in this Article V shall be the exclusive remedy for breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations and warranties contained herein on or prior to the Closing Date and shall be in lieu of contract remedies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any party from bringing an action based upon allegations of fraud by the other party in connection with this Agreement. In the event such action is brought, the prevailing party's attorneys' fees and costs shall be paid by the non-prevailing party. With respect to any breach of a covenant or other obligation contained in this Agreement the parties shall have available to them all remedies available under applicable Legal Requirements. (c) To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, any payment under this Article V shall for Tax purposes be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
