         9. Clause (i) of Section 8(c) of the Original Agreement shall be
amended in its entirety to read as follows:

                           "(i) The Board of Directors of the Company (the
         "Board") shall initially be comprised of eleven directors. During the
         term of this Agreement and at any special or annual meeting of the
         Holders at which directors are to be elected to the Board, (A) KRG

         continue with respect to such Holders until such time as the applicable
         Holders own less than 3.5% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock on
         a fully diluted and fully converted basis (excluding unvested options);
         notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.1(c)(i) to the contrary, in
         the event any Holders lose their director designation rights in
         accordance herewith, they shall be entitled to participate in the
         designation of directors pursuant to subclause (F) of this Section
         8(c)(i).

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of DLJ to designate one
         director to the Board pursuant to subclause (C) of this Section 8(c)(i)
         shall continue for as long as DLJ continues to hold at least 25% of the
         aggregate principal amount of Notes originally acquired by DLJ on the
         date of issuance.

                           (ii) Any Holder that (x) does not have the power to
         designate one or more directors to sit on the Board in accordance with
         subclauses (A), (B), (C) or (D) of clause (i) of this Section 8.1(c)(i)
         and (y) owns at least 3.5% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock on
         a fully diluted and fully converted basis (excluding unvested options)
         shall have the right to (1) appoint an observer to the Board who shall
         be entitled to all notices and documentary information distributed to,
         and to attend all meetings of, the Board generally but shall have no
         voting or similar rights with respect thereto, (2) meet with, upon
         reasonable prior notice and request, and discuss during normal business
         hours the business and operations of the Company with the Company's
         senior officers and representatives of the Company's lead equity
         sponsor, in each case at locations convenient to the parties thereto
         and (3) receive such other information relating to the Company
         (including industry analysis and other strategic information in the
         possession of the Company) as it may reasonably request, providing that
         such information shall be subject in each case to confidentiality
         requirements as the Company deems reasonably necessary. Any observer
         rights exercised hereunder shall be at the cost and expense of the
         Holder exercising such rights other than with respect to the provision
         of notices and informational materials, and no observer shall be
         entitled to any form of compensation or per diem.

                           (iii) All Holders shall be entitled to receive those
         quarterly and annual financial reports of the Company provided to the
         Company's senior lender within 15 days of the distribution of any such
         report to such senior lender. Additionally, any Holder that owns at
         least 2.5% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock on a fully diluted
         and fully converted basis (excluding unvested options) shall have the
         right to receive upon request all documentary information provided to
         members of the Board generally."

         10. Section 8 shall be amended to include the following new subsection
(g):

                           "(g) Issuance of Options. Notwithstanding anything in
         this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may not issue options under
         its stock option plans to officers, directors and employees that
         exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the then outstanding shares of Common
         Stock on a fully diluted and converted basis without the prior approval
         of a majority in interest of the Holders."

         11. Section 11 of the Original Agreement shall be amended in its
entirety to read as follows:

                  "11. Term. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of
         (i) immediately before (and conditioned upon) the closing of a
         Qualified Public Offering or (ii) immediately before (and conditioned
         upon) the closing of the merger of the Company

         with and into a company that is publicly traded on a nationally
         recognized stock exchange or over-the-counter market and the Company is
         not the surviving entity."

         12. Section 17 of the Original Agreement shall be amended in its
entirety to read as follows:

                  "17. Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be
         amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or
         in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively),
         only with the written consent of a majority in interest of the
         Holders; provided, however, that any amendment of this Agreement that
         shall adversely impact any Holders of a series of Equity Securities in
         a manner different from other Holders shall require the written
         consent of 66 2/3% in interest of the Holders of the series of Equity
         Securities so adversely affected. Any amendment or waiver effected in
         accordance with this Section 17 shall be binding upon the Company and
         the Holders."

         13. Entire Agreement. The Original Agreement, as amended by this
Amendment, contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof, supersedes all other agreements between or among any of
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and cannot be altered or
otherwise amended except pursuant the terms of Section 17 of the Original
Agreement as amended by this Amendment. This Agreement shall be interpreted
under the laws of the State of Colorado without reference to its principles of
conflicts of laws.

         14. Further Instruments and Actions. The parties agree to execute such
further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be
necessary to carry out the intent of this Amendment. The parties further agree
to cooperate affirmatively with the Company, to the extent reasonably requested
by the Company to enforce rights and obligations to this Amendment.

         15. Severability. In case any provision of this Amendment shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

         16. Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Amendment may be executed
in counterparts, both of which need not contain the signatures of more than one
party, but both such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the
same Amendment. This Amendment may be executed and delivered by facsimile
transmission.
