                  7.4      Taxes.

                  (a)      Recipient is responsible for and will pay all Taxes
applicable to the Shared Services and the Shared Assets provided to Recipient,
provided, that such payments by Recipient to Service Provider will be made in
the most tax-efficient manner and provided further, that Service Provider will
not be subject to any liability for Taxes applicable to the Shared Services and
the Shared Assets as a result of such payment by Recipient. Service Provider
will collect such Tax from Recipient in the same manner it collects such Taxes
from other customers in the ordinary course of Service Provider's business, but
in no event prior to the time it invoices Recipient for the Shared Services and
Shared Assets, costs for which such Taxes are levied. Recipient may provide
Service Provider with a certificate evidencing its exemption from payment of or
liability for such Taxes.

                  (b)      Service Provider will reimburse Recipient for any
Taxes collected from Recipient and refunded to Service Provider. In the event a
Tax is assessed against Service Provider that is solely the responsibility of
Recipient and Recipient desires to protest such assessment, Recipient will
submit to Service Provider a statement of the issues and arguments requesting
that Service Provider grant Recipient the authority to prosecute the protest in
Service Provider's name. Service Provider's authorization will not be
unreasonably withheld. Recipient will finance, manage, control and determine the
strategy for such protest while keeping Service Provider reasonably informed of
the proceedings. However, the authorization will be periodically reviewed by
Service Provider to determine any adverse impact on Service Provider, and
Service Provider will have the right to reasonably withdraw such authority at
any time. Upon notice by Service Provider that it is so withdrawing such
authority, Recipient will expeditiously terminate all proceedings. Any adverse
consequences suffered by Recipient as a result of the withdrawal will be
submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 11.14. Any contest for Taxes
brought by Recipient may not result in any lien attaching to any property or
rights of Service Provider or otherwise jeopardize Service Provider's interests
or rights in any of its property. Recipient agrees to indemnify Service Provider
for all Losses that Service Provider incurs as a result of any such contest by
Recipient.

                  (c)      The provisions of this Section 7.4 will govern the
treatment of all Taxes arising as a result of or in connection with this
Agreement notwithstanding any other Article of this Agreement to the contrary.

                                  ARTICLE VIII.
                        SERVICE PROVIDER RESPONSIBILITIES

                  8.1      Service Provider General Obligations. Service
Provider will provide the Shared Services and the Shared Assets to Recipient on
a non-discriminatory basis and will use commercially reasonable best efforts to
provide the Shared Services and the Shared Assets in the same manner as if it
were providing such services and assets on its own account (the "Service
Standards"). Service Provider will use its commercially reasonable best efforts
to conduct its duties hereunder in a lawful manner in compliance

                                       10
<PAGE>

with applicable laws, statutes, rules and regulations and in accordance with the
Service Standards.

                  8.2      Books and Records; Access to Information. Service
Provider will keep and maintain books and records on behalf of Recipient in
accordance with past practices and internal control procedures. Recipient will
have the right, at any time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice
to Service Provider, to inspect and copy (at its expense) during normal business
hours at the offices of Service Provider the books and records relating to the
Shared Services and Shared Assets, with respect to Service Provider's
performance of its obligations hereunder. This inspection right will include the
ability of Recipient's financial auditors to review such books and records in
the ordinary course of performing standard financial auditing services for
Recipient (but subject to Service Provider imposing reasonable access
restrictions to Service Provider's and its Affiliates' proprietary information
and such financial auditors executing appropriate confidentiality agreements
reasonably acceptable to Service Provider). Service Provider will promptly
respond to any reasonable requests for information or access.

                  8.3      Return of Property and Equipment. Upon expiration or
termination of this Agreement, Service Provider will be obligated to return to
Recipient, as soon as is reasonably practicable, any equipment or other property
or materials of Recipient that is in Service Provider's control or possession.

                                   ARTICLE IX.
                              TERM AND TERMINATION

                  9.1      Term. The term of this Agreement will commence as of
the Effective Date and will continue in full force and effect until the first
anniversary of the Effective Date (the "Term"), unless terminated earlier in
accordance with Section 9.2.

                  9.2      Termination. The Parties may terminate this Agreement
by mutual written consent at any time prior to the expiration of the Term.

                                   ARTICLE X.
           LIMITED WARRANTY; LIMITATION ON LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION

                  10.1     Limited Warranty. Service Provider will perform the
Shared Services hereunder in accordance with the Service Standards. Except as
specifically provided in this Agreement, Service Provider makes no express or
implied representations, warranties or guarantees relating to its performance of
the Shared Services and the granting of the Shared Assets under this Agreement,
including any warranty of merchantability, fitness, quality, non-infringement of
third party rights, suitability or adequacy of the Shared Services and the
Shared Assets for any purpose or use or purpose. Service Provider will (to the
extent possible and subject to Service Provider's contractual obligations) pass
through the benefits of any express warranties received from third parties
relating to any Shared Service and Shared Asset, and will (at Recipient's
expense) assist Recipient with any warranty claims related thereto.

                                       11
<PAGE>

                  10.2     Indemnification. Subject to the limitations of
liability set forth in Section 10.4, Service Provider and Recipient will
indemnify and hold each other harmless against all Losses resulting from: (i)
such Party's performance or failure to perform, in any material manner, any of
its obligations under this Agreement; (ii) the breach by such Party, in any
material manner, of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
contained herein; (iii) loss of or damage to tangible real or tangible personal
property (including damage to their property), in any material manner, in each
case to the extent that such Loss was proximately caused by any negligent or
willful act or omission by the Party from whom indemnity is sought, its agents,
employees or subcontractors, in connection with the provision or receipt of the
Shared Services or the Shared Assets; (iv) such Party's use of the Shared
Services and Shared Assets; (v) the breach by such Party of the license granted
in Section 4.1; or (vi) the breach by such party of the Third Party IP
Agreements or the Additional IP Agreements.

                  10.3     Notice and Procedures. A Party seeking
indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2 (the "Indemnified Party") will give
prompt written notice in reasonable detail (the "Notice of Claim") to the
indemnifying Party (the "Indemnifying Party") stating the basis of any claim for
which indemnification is being sought hereunder within thirty (30) days after
its knowledge thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party's failure
to provide any such notice to the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of or from any of its obligations hereunder, except to the
extent that the Indemnifying Party suffers prejudice as a result of such
failure. If the facts giving rise to such indemnification involve an actual or
threatened claim by or against a third party:

                  (a)      the Parties will cooperate in the prosecution or
defense of such claim and will furnish such records, information and testimony
and attend to such proceedings as may be reasonably requested in connection
therewith; and

                  (b)      the Indemnified Party will make no settlement of any
claim that would give rise to liability on the part of the Indemnifying Party
without the latter's prior written consent which will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, and the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for the
amount of any settlement affected without its prior written consent.

                  10.4     Consequential Damages. Except with respect to a
Party's fraud or willful misconduct, and except with respect to damages sought
by a third party in connection with a third party claim, none of the Parties, or
their Affiliates, will be liable to the other Parties, or their Affiliates, for
any damages other than direct damages. Each Party agrees that it is not entitled
to recover and agrees to waive any claim with respect to, and will not seek,
consequential, punitive or any other special damages as to any matter under,
relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
except with respect to such claims and damages arising directly out of a Party's
fraud or willful misconduct, or with respect to damages sought by third parties
in connection with third party claims.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

                  11.1     No Partnership or Joint Venture; Independent
Contractor. Nothing contained in this Agreement will constitute or be construed

West or their respective successors or assigns. The Parties understand and agree
that, with the exception of the procurement by Service Provider of licenses or
other rights on behalf of Recipient pursuant to Section 4.1, this Agreement does
not make any of them an agent or legal representative of the other for any
purpose whatsoever. With the exception of the procurement by Service Provider of
licenses or other rights on behalf of Recipient pursuant to Section 4.1, no
Party is granted, by this Agreement or otherwise, any right or authority to
assume or create any obligation or responsibilities, express or implied, on
behalf of or in the name of any other Party, or to bind any other Party in any
manner whatsoever. The Parties expressly acknowledge that Service Provider is an
independent contractor with respect to Recipient in all respects, including with
respect to the provision of the Shared Services.

                  11.2     Amendments; Waivers. Except as expressly provided
herein, this Agreement may be amended only by agreement in writing of all
Parties. No waiver of any provision nor consent to any exception to the terms of
this Agreement or any agreement contemplated hereby will be effective unless in
writing and signed by all of the Parties affected and then only to the specific
purpose, extent and instance so provided. No failure on the part of any Party to
exercise or delay in exercising any right hereunder will be deemed a waiver
thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise preclude any further or other
exercise of such or any other right.

                  11.3     Schedules and Exhibits; Integration. Each Schedule
and Exhibit delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement must be in writing
and will constitute a part of this Agreement, although schedules need not be
attached to each copy of this Agreement. This Agreement, together with such
Schedules and Exhibits constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties
pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings of the Parties in connection therewith.

                  11.4     Further Assurances. Each Party will take such actions
as any other Party may reasonably request or as may be necessary or appropriate
to consummate or implement the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to
evidence such events or matters.

                  11.5     Governing Law. This Agreement and the legal relations
between the Parties will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Colorado applicable to contracts made and performed in such
State and without regard to conflicts of law doctrines unless certain matters
are preempted by federal law.

                  11.6     Assignment. Except as otherwise provided hereunder,
neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder are assignable by
one Party without the express prior written consent of the other Parties.

or any other agreement delivered pursuant hereto may be executed in one or more
counterparts and by different Parties in separate counterparts. All counterparts

more counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other
Parties.

                  11.11    Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
Parties will each pay their own expenses incident to the negotiation,
preparation and performance of this Agreement, including the fees, expenses and

                  11.12    Waiver. No failure on the part of any Party to
exercise or delay in exercising any right hereunder will be deemed a waiver
thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise preclude any further or other
exercise of such or any other right.

                  11.13    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is
held to be unenforceable for any reason, it will be adjusted rather than voided,
if possible, to achieve the intent of the Parties. All other provisions of this
Agreement will be deemed valid and enforceable to the extent possible.

                  11.14    Arbitration; Jurisdiction. Any dispute, controversy
or claim arising under or related to this Agreement, regardless of the legal
theory upon which it is based, will be settled by final, binding arbitration
pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1 et seq., in
accordance with the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration
Rules. Nothing herein will, however, prohibit a Party from seeking temporary or
preliminary injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. In any
arbitration, the number of arbitrators will be three. If all three Parties to
this Agreement are parties to the arbitration, each of the three Parties shall
have the right to appoint one arbitrator. If only two Parties to this Agreement
are parties to the arbitration, each of the Parties shall have the right to
appoint one arbitrator, who will together appoint a third neutral arbitrator
within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the last party-designated
arbitrator. All arbitration proceedings will take place in Denver, Colorado. The
arbitrators will be entitled to award monetary and equitable relief, including
specific performance and other injunctive relief; provided, however, that only
damages allowed pursuant to this Agreement may be awarded. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Section 11.14, each Party will bear the expenses of
its own counsel and will jointly bear the expenses of the arbitrators. The
arbitrators will allocate the remaining costs of the arbitration proceeding. The
Parties agree that the arbitrators will include, as an item of damages, the
costs of arbitration, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred by
the prevailing party if the arbitrators determine that either (a) the
non-prevailing party did not act in good faith when disputing its liability
hereunder to the prevailing party or when initiating a claim against the
prevailing party; or (b) the prevailing party has had to resort to arbitration
with respect to a substantially similar claim more than twice in any thirty-six
(36) month period. Should it become necessary to resort or respond to court
proceedings to enforce a Party's compliance with this Section

                                       15
<PAGE>

11.14, such proceedings will be brought only in the federal or state courts
located in the State of Colorado, which will have exclusive jurisdiction to
resolve any disputes with respect to this Agreement, with each Party irrevocably
consenting to the jurisdiction thereof. If the court directs or otherwise
requires compliance herewith, then all costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred by the Party requesting such compliance, will be
reimbursed by the non-complying Party to the requesting Party.

                  11.15    General Rules of Construction. For all purposes of
this Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules delivered pursuant to this
Agreement: (i) the terms defined in Article I have the meanings assigned to them
in Article I and include the plural as well as the singular; (ii) all accounting
terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned under GAAP; (iii)
all references in this Agreement to designated "Articles," "Sections" and other
subdivisions are to the designated Articles, Sections and other subdivisions of
the body of this Agreement; (iv) pronouns of either gender or neuter will
include, as appropriate, the other pronoun forms; (v) the words "herein,"
"hereof" and "hereunder" and other words of similar import refer to this
Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other
subdivision; (vi) "or" is not exclusive; (vii) "including" and "includes" will
be deemed to be followed by "but not limited to" and "but is not limited to,"
respectively; (viii) any definition of or reference to any law, agreement,
instrument or other document herein will be construed as referring to such law,
agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified; and (ix) any definition of or reference to
any statute will be construed as referring also to any rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder.
