RECITALS

A. On September 28, 2006, GDBA loaned the Company a total of Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000) consisting of a Senior Subordinated Note in the amount of Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000) and a Revolving Note in the amount of Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000) (collectively, the “Notes”) and purchased 250,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”).

B. As of June 30, 2008 there is a total of $482,589 in accrued but unpaid interest and dividends due to GDBA on the Notes and Preferred Stock.

C. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, GDBA has agreed to cancel the Notes and Preferred Stock and receive the unpaid but accrued interest and dividends in Common Shares, $0.001 par value, of the Company (the “Common Shares”).

D. Contemporaneously with the cancellation of the Notes, the Company will execute a new Revolving Note in the form as shown in Exhibit A hereto.

E. The Company and GDBA are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the rules and regulations as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and GDBA hereby agree as follows:

1. PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS AND EXECUTION OF REVOLVING NOTE.

a. Payment of Interest and Dividends. On the Closing Date, in exchange for the delivery by GDBA and cancellation of the Notes and Preferred Stock, the Company shall issue and deliver to GDBA a total of 717,829 Common Shares as full and complete payment of all accrued but unpaid interest and dividends due through June 30, 2008.

b. Execution of New Revolving Note . On the Closing Date, in exchange for the delivery by GDBA and cancellation of the Notes and the payment to GDBA of the accrued but unpaid interest due through June 30, 2008, the Company shall execute a new Revolving Note in the form as shown in Exhibit A hereto.

c. Applicability of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated September 28, 2006 will remain in force and effect and shall apply to the new Revolving Note but shall not apply to the Notes, which are to be retired by this Agreement or to the Preferred Stock, which are to be retired by a contemporaneous Agreement of even date, provided however, that the Common Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement shall not be “Conversion Shares” as that term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

2. CLOSING AND EXCHANGE

Exchange. Subject to the satisfaction (or written waiver) of the conditions thereto set forth in Section 6, the cancellation of the Notes, the payment of the accrued but unpaid interest and dividends through June 30, 2008 in Common Shares and the execution of the Revolving Note (the “Closing”) shall take place at such date and time as is mutually agreed by the Company and GDBA (such date, the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall occur at the offices of the Company, 700 Seventeenth Street, Suite 1200, Denver, Colorado 80202, or at such other place as the Company and GDBA may designate. On the Closing Date, against delivery by the Company of the share certificates representing the Common Shares and execution by the Company of the Revolving Note in the form shown in Exhibit A hereto, GDBA shall proffer the Notes marked fully paid (the “Exchange Transaction”) to the Company.

3. BUYER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. GDBA represents and warrants to the Company that:

a. Investment Purpose. As of the date hereof, the Buyer is acquiring the Common Shares for its own account and not with a present view towards the public sale or distribution thereof; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Buyer does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act.

b. Accredited Investor Status. The Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act.

c. Reliance on Exemptions. The Buyer understands that the Common Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Buyer to acquire the Securities.

d. Information. The Buyer acknowledges that it has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the Company and to obtain additional information that it has requested to verify the accuracy of the information contained herein. Neither the foregoing nor any due diligence investigation conducted by Buyer or any of its advisors or representatives shall modify, amend or affect Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 4 below. The Buyer understands that its investment in the Common Shares involves a significant degree of risk.

e. Governmental Review. The Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Common Shares.

f. Transfer or Resale. The Buyer understands that (i) the sale or resale of the Common Shares has not been and is not being registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, and the Common Shares may not be transferred unless (a) the Common Shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, (b) the Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company and its counsel that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration or (c) such Buyer provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Common Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or any successor rule thereto) (“Rule 144”); (ii) any sale of such Common Shares made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of such Common Shares under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register such Common Shares under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Common Shares may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement.

g. Legends. The certificates evidencing the Common Shares will bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such Common Shares):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE CUSTOMARY FOR OPINIONS OF COUNSEL IN COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.”

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any certificate upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) such Common Shares are registered for resale under the 1933 Act, (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company’s counsel, to the effect that the sale or transfer of such Common Shares may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, or (c) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Common Shares have been or are being sold pursuant to Rule 144. The Buyer agrees to sell all Common Shares, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any.
