RECITALS WHEREAS, Shareholders own all of the outstanding shares of capital stock (the "Shares") of the Company; WHEREAS, Shareholders intend to sell and Purchaser intends to purchase the Shares; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto intending to be legally bound do hereby agree as follows: ARTICLE I PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE SHARES SECTION 1.1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE SHARES. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Shareholders agree to sell, convey, assign and transfer, and Purchaser agrees to purchase, the Shares, free and clear of all Encumbrances (as defined in Section 9.3(b) hereof) for the purchase price of Three Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,600,000) (the "Purchase Price"), payable in cash. At the Closing (as defined in Section 1.3) each Shareholder will transfer to Purchaser the Shares owned by each Shareholder as listed after his or her name in Section 2.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, which together will constitute all of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company. SECTION 1.2. CONSIDERATION. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, in consideration of the sale, conveyance, assignment and transfer of the Shares to Purchaser at the Closing, Purchaser agrees to: (a) Pay to Silicon Valley Bank the sum of Four Hundred Fifty One Thousand Six Hundred Seven and 41/100 Dollars ($451,607.41); 8 (b) Pay to each Shareholder his or her pro rata share, as defined below, by wire transfer to the Tonkon Torp LLP Lawyer Trust Account, of Two Million Seven Hundred Eighty Eight Thousand Three Hundred Ninety Two and 59/100 Dollars ($2,788,392.59) at the Closing; and (c) Purchaser shall withhold the remaining Three Hundred Sixty Thousand ($360,000) of the Purchase Price (the "Withheld Purchase Price"), which shall be payable as follows: (i) As promptly as practicable, but no later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Shareholders Representative (as defined under Section 5.6 below) a closing statement (the "Closing Statement") presenting the Net Working Capital (defined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as current assets minus current liabilities) as of the end of business on the Closing Date ("Closing Net Working Capital"). The Net Working Capital will be computed in a manner consistent with the net working capital computation prepared by the Company at July 31, 2006 and attached hereto as Schedule 1.2(c). Accounts receivable included within Net Working Capital for this purpose shall be valued at face value if the maturity is ninety (90) days or less and at zero (0) if the maturity is ninety (90) days or more. Shareholders Representative shall have fifteen (15) days from receipt of the Closing Statement to dispute the calculation of Net Working Capital by Purchaser. In the event Shareholders and Purchaser are not able to agree within thirty (30) days of receipt of the statement by the Shareholders Representative on such calculation, it shall be submitted to a mutually agreed upon independent public accounting firm for final resolution in accordance with the guidelines as provided herein. (ii) The independent accounting firm selected by Purchaser and Shareholders Representative will be a firm with offices in more than one location. Each party may present financial information to the accounting firm for review within ten (10) days of selection of the firm provided that all such information is simultaneously provided to the other party. No such firm will be engaged that does not undertake to provide its final determination within thirty (30) days of submission of all materials to be reviewed. The decision of the selected accounting firm will be presented in a written report to include the basis for all adjustments made to the Closing Statement. The fees of the accounting firm will be paid one-half by the Purchaser and one-half by the Shareholders. (iii) In the event Closing Net Working Capital is negative, such negative amount shall be referred to herein as the "NWC Deficit". If such NWC Deficit is greater than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000), then the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount such NWC Deficit 9 exceeds Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (the "Excess NWC Deficit"). In the event the NWC Deficit is less than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000), the Purchase Price shall be increased by the difference in the NWC Deficit and Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (the "Purchase Price Increase Amount"). The Withheld Purchase Price shall be adjusted by subtracting from Three Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($360,000) any Excess NWC Deficit or by adding to Three Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($360,000) any Purchase Price Increase Amount, as applicable (the "Adjusted Withheld Purchase Price"). (iv) Forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay to each Shareholder his or her pro rata share of One Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($180,000) plus the full amount of any Purchase Price Increase Amount if the Withheld Purchase Price has increased, or one-half of the Adjusted Withheld Purchase Price if there is an Excess NWC Deficit. (v) Ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Adjusted Withheld Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of (1) accounts receivable which were over ninety (90) days as of the Closing Date collected between the Closing Date and the date ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (the "Over 90 Collections") and (2) the amount of credits to customers and vendors outstanding as of the Closing Date that were removed from such customer and vendor accounts between the Closing Date and the date ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (the "Removed Credits"). Purchaser shall then pay to each Shareholder, from the newly calculated Adjusted Withheld Purchase Price, his or her pro rata share of an amount equal to the sum of the Over 90 Collections and the Removed Credits; provided, however, the total of the payments made pursuant to Section 1.2(c)(iv) above and this Section 1.2(c)(v) shall not exceed one-half of the newly calculated Adjusted Withheld Purchase Price. (vi) Six (6) months after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay to each Shareholder his or her pro rata share of the remaining Adjusted Withheld Purchase Price less any amounts claimed by Purchaser as indemnification for Purchaser Losses as provided for in Article VII hereof. (vii) Any amounts payable under this subsection (c) will bear interest at ten percent (10%) per annum from the due date, when determined, until paid if not paid within ten (10) days of the date payable. (d) For purposes of this Agreement, a Shareholder's pro rata share shall be such Shareholder's percentage interest in the total number of the Shares as set forth on Section 2.3(a) of the Disclosure Schedule. SECTION 1.3. CLOSING. Subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver of the conditions to consummation of the Purchase contained in 10 Article VI hereof, the closing of the Purchase (the "Closing") shall take place at 10:00 a.m., Denver time, on a date specified by the parties (the "Closing Date"), which date shall not be later than the third business day following satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver of the conditions to consummation of the Purchase contained in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver of those conditions), unless another time or date is agreed to by the parties hereto; provided that in all events, the Closing Date shall not be later than September 15, 2006. The Closing will be held at the offices of Purchaser, located at 1140 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO 80302 or at such other location as is agreed to by the parties hereto.

The indemnified party shall not settle or compromise any claim by a third party for which the indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party unless (i) suit shall have been instituted against the indemnified party and (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have taken control of such suit as provided in Section 7.2 (b) within 25 days after notification thereof. 43 (b) DEFENSE BY INDEMNIFYING PARTY. In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal proceeding by a third party, the indemnifying party, at its sole cost and expense, may, upon written notice to the indemnified party, assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, the indemnifying party shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party to conduct the defense of such claims or legal proceedings and at the indemnifying party's sole cost and expense shall take all reasonable steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof. The indemnifying party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim or legal proceeding, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if (a) the indemnifying party admits in writing its liability to hold the indemnified party harmless from and against any losses, damages, expenses and liabilities arising out of such settlement, (b) concurrently with such settlement the indemnifying party pays into court the full amount of all losses, damages, expenses and liabilities to be paid by the indemnifying party in connection with such settlement and obtains a full release of any liability of the indemnified party which is not conditioned upon any further payment and (c) such settlement would not otherwise have a material adverse effect on the indemnified party. The indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the indemnifying party does not assume the defense of any such claim or litigation resulting therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof, the indemnified party may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it may deem appropriate including, but not limited to, settling such claim or litigation, after giving notice of the same to the indemnifying party, on such terms as the indemnified party may deem appropriate. The indemnifying party shall be required to participate in the defense of any action by providing information necessary to permit the indemnified party to defend such action as indicated in (d) below and shall be advised of its status. In any action by the indemnified party seeking indemnification from the indemnifying party in accordance with the provisions of this Section, if the indemnifying party did not assume the defense of any such claim or litigation, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to question the manner in which the indemnified party defended such claim or litigation or the amount or nature of any such settlement. (c) NOTICE. In the event of any occurrence which may give rise to a claim by an indemnified party against an indemnifying party hereunder, the indemnified party will give notice thereof to the indemnifying party within twenty (20) days of the indemnified party becoming aware of events giving rise to the possibility of a right to indemnification and the first opportunity to reduce, remedy or incur the damages or potential damages caused by such occurrence; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that failure of the indemnified party to timely give the notice provided in this Section 7.2 (c) shall not be a defense to the liability of an indemnifying party for such claim, but such indemnifying party may recover from the indemnified party any actual damages arising from the indemnified party's failure to give such timely notice; provided, further that Purchaser may take preemptive legal action of a pressing nature, with respect to a third party Claim, only after providing notice to the Shareholders in the manner provided for in Section 9.2 hereof. 44 (d) ACCESS TO INFORMATION. Regardless of which party shall assume the defense of a claim, each party shall provide to the other parties, upon written request, all information and documentation in the possession or control of such party and reasonably necessary to support and verify any Purchaser or Seller Losses which give rise to such claim for indemnification and shall provide reasonable access to all books, records and personnel in such party's possession or control which would have a bearing on such claim. (e) TAX AUDITS. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in all events Shareholder shall be permitted to retain legal counsel, accountants, and any and all professional assistance Shareholder desires, (all at Shareholder's sole cost and expense) to defend against any audits involving taxes relating to the time during which Shareholder owned the Company. Purchaser agrees to give Seller notice in the event Purchaser has received notice of any such tax audit. SECTION 7.3 ARBITRATION. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (a "Dispute"), shall be settled by binding arbitration. Any such arbitration proceeding shall be conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to Shareholders and Purchaser. In the event that within forty-five (45) days after submission of any Dispute to arbitration, Shareholders and Purchaser cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, Shareholders and Purchaser shall each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator who will arbitrate the case on his own. The agreed upon arbitrator or the third arbitrator, as the case may be, shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator or third arbitrator, as the case may be, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the Dispute. The arbitrator or the third arbitrator, as the case may be, shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys' fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrator or third arbitrator, as the case may be, determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator(s). Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
