request (the "Commitment"). The aggregate unpaid principal of all Loans outstanding at any one time shall not exceed Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000), subject to reductions in the maximum amount of

Loan Availability, Borrower shall immediately, and without the necessity of a demand by Lender, pay to Lender such amount as may be necessary to eliminate such excess. 

    SECTION
2.2  Loans and Letters of Credit.  (a) Subject to the same terms, conditions and
limitations set forth in Section 2.1 above, Lender shall, at Borrower's request, cause cash advances pursuant to the Loan to be issued for the account of Borrower (a "Borrowing"). 

    (b) Subject
to the same terms, conditions and limitations set forth in Section 2.1 above, Lender shall, at Borrower's request, cause the Letters of Credit to be

less any outstanding standby letters of credit issued by United Missouri Bank, and (ii) the amount by which Loan Availability at such time exceeds the outstanding principal balance of the Loans
at such time. If at any time the Loan Availability is zero or less than zero, Borrower shall provide cash collateral to Lender in an amount equal to the amount by which Loan Availability is less than
zero to secure any Letters of Credit. The Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and shall not have an expiration date later than twelve (12) months from the
date of issuance or the Maturity Date, whichever is earlier. Borrower shall reimburse the Lender for any payments made in respect of the Letters of Credit. Borrower shall reimburse Lender, immediately
upon demand, in the amount of any payments made by Lender to any Person with respect to the Letters of Credit, and until Lender shall have been so reimbursed by Borrower such payments by Lender shall
be deemed to be Loans. In connection with the Letters of Credit, Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any payments made by Lender with respect to the Letters of Credit and for any taxes, levies,
deductions, charges and costs and expenses incurred by Lender with respect to the Letters of Credit. 

    SECTION
2.3  Notice of Borrowing and Request for Letters of Credit.  Cash advances shall be made from the
Lender to Borrower only after Borrower notifies Lender in writing (to the attention of John R. Hall or other then available relationship personnel at Wells Fargo) prior to 12:00 p.m. (noon) of
the date of the desired cash advance, until such time as a "4-Way Sweep Agreement" may be entered into between the parties at which time cash advances shall thereafter be controlled
pursuant to such 4-Way Sweep Agreement. The Borrower shall give the Lender written notice with respect to a request for the
issuance of a Letter of Credit at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date such Letter of Credit is requested to be issued, along with an application for such Letter of Credit executed by
an officer of the Borrower. Each notice of Borrowing and / or request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed a representation by Borrower that all conditions precedent to such
Borrowing and / or request for a Letter of Credit have been satisified. 

    SECTION
2.4  Note.  The Loans shall be evidenced by a revolving note ("Note") duly executed on behalf of
the Borrower, dated the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit "A" with the blanks appropriately filled, payable to the order of Lender in a
principal amount equal to the Commitment. The outstanding principal balance of the Loans, as evidenced by such Note, together with interest and other unpaid charges shall be payable on the Maturity
Date, unless earlier due pursuant to the provisions of Article VIII. The Note shall bear interest from the date of the first Borrowing on the outstanding principal balance thereof as set forth
in Section 2.6. The Lender shall, and is hereby authorized by the Borrower to, endorse on the schedule attached to the Note (or on a continuation of such schedule attached to such Note and made
a part 

 
thereof), or otherwise to record in Lender's internal records, an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Loan, each payment and prepayment of principal of the Loans, each payment
of interest on the Loans and the other information provided for on such
schedule; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender
to make such a notation or any error therein shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans made by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Note. 

    SECTION
2.5  Fees.  

    (a) In
the event that the Commitment is amended within thirty-six (36) months of the Closing Date and the revised Commitment does not exceed
$40,000,000, Lender agrees not to charge any additional Fees for the first amendment within such time period (unless the Lender participates the Commitment with another bank); provided, however,
Borrower shall be responsible for all legal costs and fees associated with any subsequent amendment(s). 

    (b) [This
provision has been intentionally deleted]. 

    (c) Borrower
shall pay to Lender a Letter of Credit fee at the time of issuance equal to one percent (1%) per annum (computed on the basis of a year of three hundred
sixty (360) days for the actual number of days elapsed) of the average undrawn face amount of the Letters of Credit, payable in advance. In addition, Borrower shall pay to Lender all expenses
incurred by Lender in connection with the issuance and negotiation of any Letter of Credit, payable on the date incurred by Lender. 

    (d) Borrower
shall pay to Lender an unused commitment fee (the "Unused Commitment Fee") in the amount of .125% per annum on the unused portion of the Commitment. The
Unused Commitment Fee shall be paid by Borrower to Lender on each calendar quarter commencing on December 31, 2001, in arrears. The Unused Commitment Fee shall be accruing from the Closing
Date.

fees identified in this Section 2.5 shall be hereinafter defined as "Fees" and, except for the Origination Fee (which is due at closing), shall be paid
on each calendar quarter commencing on December 31, 2001, in immediately available funds. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances. 

    It
is the intent of the parties that the rate of interest and the other fees and charges to Borrower under this Agreement shall be lawful; therefore, if for any reason the interest or
other fees and charges payable under this Agreement are found by a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final determination, to exceed the limit which Lender may lawfully charge Borrower, then the
obligation to pay interest and other charges shall automatically be reduced to such limit and, if any amount in excess of such limit shall have been paid, then such amount shall be refunded to
Borrower. 

    SECTION
2.6  Interest on Loans.  Interest on the Loans shall be payable, in arrears, on the outstanding
principal balance of the Loans without notice or demand on the first day of each calendar quarter commencing on December 31, 2001, during the term of this Agreement and on the Termination Date,
except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.7, the Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of
360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate. The Borrower shall be eligible for reductions in the Prime Rate as set forth in this Section 2.6 upon Borrower's achieving
Borrower's ratio of Total Funded Indebtedness to EBITDA for the 12-month period ending on the last day of each quarter as follows: 

	(i)
	If
the Leverage Ratio is in excess of 1.00:1, then the Prime Rate shall be reduced 20 basis points (0.20%); or

	(ii)
	If
the Leverage Ratio is between 0.75:1 and 1.00:1, then the Prime Rate shall be reduced 45 basis points (0.45%); or 

	(iii)
	If
the Leverage Ratio is less than 0.75:1, then the Prime Rate shall be reduced 70 basis points (0.70%). 

    SECTION
2.7  Default Interest.  If the Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or
interest on the Loans or any other amount due or becoming due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on
such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate (the "Default Rate") per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of
days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the Prime Rate plus three percent (3%). 

    SECTION
2.8  Termination and Reduction of Commitment.  

    (a) The
Commitment shall be automatically terminated at 5:00 p.m., Mountain Time, on the Maturity Date.

optionally prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, without penalty. 

    SECTION
2.10  Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.  

    (a) Notwithstanding
any other provision herein, if after the date of this Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) shall change the basis of taxation of payments
to the Lender of any fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of Lender by the jurisdiction in which Lender has its principal office or by any
political subdivision or taxing authority therein), or shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of or credit extended by Lender or shall impose on Lender any other condition affecting this Agreement, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making or
maintaining the Loans to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender hereunder or under the Note (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by Lender to be
material, then Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

    (b) If
the adoption after the date hereof of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any of the foregoing or in the
interpretation or administration of any of the
foregoing by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender (or any lending office of Lender) with any
request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on Lender's capital which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
deemed by Lender to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for any such reduction suffered. 

    (c) A
certificate of Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate Lender as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as
the case may be, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within
10 days after delivery of the same. 

    (d) Failure
on the part of Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with
respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to demand compensation with respect to such 

 
period or any other period; provided, however, such demand must be made within ninety (90) days from the date the right to demand accrued. The protection of this Section shall be available to
Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed. If any
amounts are payable pursuant to this Section 2.10. Lender shall apply the provisions of Section 2.10 on a non-discriminatory basis to all similarly situated borrowers of
Lender. 

    SECTION
2.11  Payments.  In the event that payments are not made pursuant to the 4-Way Sweep
Agreement, the Borrower shall make each payment (including principal or interest of any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than
12:00 p.m. (noon), Mountain Time, on the date when due in dollars to the Lender at its offices at 1740 Broadway Street, C7301-031, Denver, Colorado 80274, in immediately available
funds. Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on
a date that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if
applicable.

and termination of this Agreement, unless Borrower obtains Lender's prior written consent waiving or modifying any of Borrower's covenants hereunder in any specific instance, Borrower agrees as
follows: 

    (a) Borrower
shall at all times keep accurate and complete books, records and accounts with respect to all of Borrower's business activities, in accordance with sound
accounting practices and GAAP consistently applied, and shall keep such books, records and accounts, and any copies thereof, only at the addresses indicated for such purpose on Exhibit "C";

certified public accountants selected by Borrower and satisfactory to Lender, which financial statements shall be accompanied by a letter from such accountants acknowledging that they are aware that
Lender is relying upon such financial statements in connection with the exercise of its rights hereunder; and (iii) such other financial information as Lender shall reasonably request; 

    (c) Borrower
shall promptly advise Lender in writing of any material adverse change in the business, assets or condition, financial or otherwise, of Borrower, the
occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder or the occurrence of any event which, if uncured, will become an Event of Default hereunder after notice or lapse of time (or both). In addition, Borrower
shall promptly advise Lender in writing of any default made in the due observance or performance by Borrower of any covenant, condition or agreement where such default would reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse change with any operating lease(s), in any lease where Borrower is a party, or in any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness; 

    (d) [this
provision has been intentionally deleted]; 

    (e) Lender,
or any Persons designated by it, shall have the right, with reasonable advance notice, to call at Borrower's places of business at any reasonable time, and,
without hindrance or delay, to inspect the
Collateral and to inspect, audit, check and make extracts from Borrower's books, records, journals, orders, receipts, leases, and any correspondence and other data relating to Borrower's business, the
Collateral or any transactions between the parties hereto, and shall have the right to make such verification concerning Borrower's business as Lender may consider reasonable under the circumstances.
Borrower shall furnish to Lender such information relevant to Lender's rights under this Agreement as Lender shall at any time and from time to time request. Borrower authorizes Lender to discuss the
affairs, finances and business of Borrower with any officers, directors and employees of Borrower identified and authorized by Borrower or with any Affiliate or the officers, directors and employees

exercise of its rights hereunder in accordance with and limited by Section 2.5(e), and all of such fees and expenses shall constitute Loans hereunder, payable on demand and, until paid, shall

amounts and under policies in such form as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender, which insurance companies shall be rated by Best rating system to be "A" "XI" or better. At the request of
Lender, original (or certified) copies of such policies of insurance shall be delivered to Lender, together with evidence of payment of all premiums therefor, and shall contain an endorsement, in form
and substance acceptable to Lender, showing loss under such insurance policies payable to Lender. Such endorsement, or an independent instrument furnished to Lender, shall provide that the insurance
company shall give Lender at least thirty (30) days written notice before any such policy of insurance is altered or cancelled and that no act, whether willful or negligent, or default of
Borrower or any other person shall affect the right of Lender to recover under such policy of insurance in case of loss or damage. Borrower hereby directs all insurers under such policies of insurance
to pay all proceeds payable thereunder directly to Lender and all proceeds received by Lender may be applied to the Liabilities in such order and manner as Lender shall determine. Upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default, Borrower irrevocably, makes, constitutes and appoints Lender (and all officers, employees or agents designated by Lender) as Borrower's true and lawful
attorney-in-fact (and agent-in-fact) for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims under such policies of insurance, endorsing the name of
Borrower on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and making all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of insurance;
and 

    (ii) maintain,
at its expense, such public liability and third party property damage insurance as is customary for Persons engaged in businesses similar to that of
Borrower with such companies and in
such amounts, with such deductibles and under policies in such form as shall be satisfactory to Lender and, at the request of Lender, original (or certified) copies of such policies shall be delivered
to Lender, together with evidence of payment of all premiums therefor; each such policy shall contain an endorsement showing Lender as additional insured thereunder and providing that the insurance
company shall give Lender at least thirty (30) days written notice before any such policy shall be altered or cancelled. 

    If
Borrower at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required above or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto,
then Lender, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default by Borrower hereunder, may (but shall be under no obligation to) obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such
premiums and take such other actions with respect thereto as Lender deems advisable. All sums disbursed by Lender in connection with any such actions, including without limitation court costs,
expenses, other charges relating thereto and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall constitute Loans hereunder and shall be payable on demand by Borrower to Lender and, until paid, shall bear interest at
the Prime Rate then applicable to Loans hereunder, unless the Borrower is in default under this Agreement beyond any applicable cure period at which time interest shall accrue at the Default Rate; 

    (g) Borrower

condition, repair and order; shall permit Lender to examine any of its property at any time; shall not permit its property, or any part thereof, to be levied upon under execution, attachment,

abandon any of its 

 
property, or remove or permit removal of any of its property from any of the locations listed on Exhibit "C" or as permitted under Section 4.1(c) hereof, except for the removal of Inventory
sold in the ordinary course of Borrower's business; 

    (h) all
monies and other property obtained by Borrower from Lender pursuant to this Agreement will be used solely for business purposes of Borrower; 

    (i)  Borrower
shall, at the request of Lender, indicate on its records concerning the Collateral a notation, in form satisfactory to Lender, of the security interest of
Lender hereunder, and Borrower shall not maintain duplicates or copies of such records at any address other than Borrower's principal place of business set forth on the first page of this Agreement; 

    (j)  Borrower
shall file all required tax returns and pay all of its taxes when due, including without limitation taxes imposed by federal, state or municipal agencies,
and shall cause any liens for taxes other than Permitted Liens to be promptly released; provided, that Borrower shall have the right to contest the payment of such taxes in good faith by appropriate
proceedings so long as (i) the amount so contested is shown on Borrower's financial statements, (ii) the contesting of any such payment does not give rise to a lien for taxes, and
(iii) if Borrower fails to prosecute such contest with reasonable diligence, Lender may apply the money so deposited in payment of such taxes. If Borrower fails to pay any such taxes and in the
absence of any such contest by Borrower, Lender may (but shall be under no obligation to) advance and pay any sums required to pay any such taxes and/or to secure the release of any lien therefor, and
any sums so advanced by Lender shall constitute Loans hereunder, shall be payable by Borrower to Lender on demand, and, until paid, shall bear interest at the Default Rate;

ARTICLE VII. PRESERVATION OF COLLATERAL AND PERFECTION OF

    SECTION
7.1  Preservation of Collateral.  Borrower shall, at Lender's request, at any time and from time
to time, execute and deliver to Lender such financing statements, documents and other agreements and instruments (and pay the cost of filing or recording the same in all public offices deemed

the Collateral in favor of Lender (free and clear of all other liens, claims and rights of third parties whatsoever, whether voluntarily or involuntarily created, except Permitted Liens) to secure
payment of the Liabilities, and in order to facilitate the collection of the Collateral. If not received within thirty (30) days, Borrower
irrevocably hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Lender (and all persons designated by Lender for that purpose) as Borrower's true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact to
execute such financing statements, documents and other agreements and instruments and do such other acts and things as may be necessary to preserve and perfect Lender's security interest in the
Collateral. Borrower further agrees that a carbon, photographic, photostatic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement. 

 
 

ARTICLE VIII. DEFAULT    
  

    SECTION
8.1  Event of Default.  The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall
constitute an "Event of Default" by Borrower hereunder, unless the same is cured within ten (10) days (unless otherwise specifically provided): 

    (a) the
failure of any Obligor to pay when due, declared due, or demanded by Lender, any of the Liabilities within three (3) business days of written
notification; 

 
    (b) the failure of any Obligor to perform, keep or observe any of the non-financial covenants, conditions, promises, agreements or obligations of such
Obligor under this Agreement or any of the Other Agreements within thirty (30) days of written notification; 

    (c) the
failure of any Obligor to perform, keep or observe any of the covenants, conditions, promises, agreements or obligations of such Obligor under any other
agreement with any person if such failure may have a material adverse effect on such Obligor's business property, assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise; 

    (d) default
shall be made in the due observance or performance by the Borrower of any covenant, condition or agreement relating to the operating leases identified in
Exhibit "J" attached hereto (wherein such default would reasonably be expected to create a liability in excess of $250,000), in any lease wherein Borrower is a party, or in any bond, debenture note or
other evidence of indebtedness; 

    (e) the
making, furnishing or omission by any Obligor to Lender of any representation, warranty, certificate, schedule, report or other communication within or in
connection with this Agreement or the Other Agreements or in connection with any other agreement between such Obligor and Lender, which is untrue or misleading in any respect; 

    (f)  the
making of any levy, seizure or attachment of any of Borrower's property; 

    (g) the
commencement of any proceedings in bankruptcy by or against any Obligor or for the liquidation or reorganization of any Obligor, or alleging that such Obligor
is insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they mature, or for the readjustment or arrangement of any Obligor's debts, whether under the United States Bankruptcy Code or under any other law, whether
state or federal, now or hereafter existing for the relief of debtors, or the commencement of any analogous statutory or non-statutory proceedings involving any Obligor; provided, however,
that if such commencement of proceedings against such Obligor is involuntary and such Obligor is contesting such proceedings in good faith, such action shall not constitute an Event of Default unless
such proceedings are not dismissed within thirty (30) days after the commencement of such proceedings; 

    (h) the
appointment of a receiver or trustee for any Obligor, for any of the Collateral or for any substantial part of any Obligor's assets or the institution of any
proceedings for the dissolution, or the full or partial liquidation, of any Obligor which is a corporation, limited liability company or a partnership; provided, however, that if such appointment or
commencement of proceedings against such Obligor is involuntary and such Obligor is contesting such proceedings in good faith, such action shall not constitute an Event of Default unless such
appointment is not revoked or such proceedings are not dismissed within thirty (30) days after the commencement of such proceedings; 

    (i)  the
entry of any judgment or order against any Obligor which remains unsatisfied or undischarged and in effect for thirty (30) days after such entry without
a stay of enforcement or execution; 

    (j)  the
dissolution of any Obligor which is a partnership, limited liability company or corporation; 

    (k) the
occurrence of a change of control, direct or indirect, of Borrower or management of Borrower. For purposes of this provision, management shall mean Mac J.

    (l)  the
occurrence of an event of default beyond the applicable cure period under, or the revocation or termination of, any agreement, instrument or document executed
and delivered by any Person to Lender pursuant to which such Person has granted Lender a security interest in or lien upon some or all of such Person's real and/or personal property to secure the
payment of all or any of the Liabilities; or 

    (m) the
institution in any court of a criminal proceeding against any Obligor, or the indictment of any Obligor for any crime. 

 
 

ARTICLE IX. REMEDIES UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.    
  

    SECTION
9.1  Remedies.  Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default and lapse of the applicable cure
period, Lender shall have the option to, but not the obligation to, pursue any one or more of the following remedies: 

    (a) Without
limiting Lender's right to demand payment of the Liabilities at any time, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default beyond the applicable cure period
described in Article VIII hereof, all of Borrower's Liabilities shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice of any kind and upon the occurrence of any other Event
of Default beyond the applicable cure period, all Liabilities may, at the option of Lender, and without demand, notice or legal process of any kind, be declared, and immediately shall become, due and
payable. 

    (b) Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default beyond the applicable cure period, Lender may exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under
the Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable law in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights and remedies expressly granted in this Agreement or in any of the Other Agreements and all of
Lender's rights and remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive to the extent permitted by law. In particular, but not by way of limitation of the foregoing, Lender may, without notice,
demand, or legal process of any kind, require that interest relating to the Loan as of the date of Event of Default until paid be paid at the Default Rate, take possession of any or all of the
Collateral (in addition to Collateral of which it already has possession), wherever it may be found, and for that purpose may pursue the same wherever it may be found, and may enter into any of
Borrower's premises where any of the Collateral may be, and search for, take possession of, remove, keep and store any of the Collateral until the same shall be sold or otherwise disposed of, and
Lender shall have the right to store the same at any of Borrower's premises without cost to Lender. At Lender's request, Borrower shall, at Borrower's expense, assemble the Collateral and make it
available to Lender at one or more places to be designated by Lender and reasonably convenient to Lender and Borrower. Borrower recognizes that if Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any
of its Liabilities under this Agreement or the Other Agreements, no remedy at law will provide adequate relief to Lender, and Borrower agrees that Lender shall be entitled to temporary and permanent
injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages. Any notification of intended disposition of any of the Collateral required by law will be deemed reasonably and
properly given if given at least fifteen (15) calendar days before such disposition. Any proceeds of any disposition by Lender of any of the Collateral may be applied by Lender to the payment
of expenses in connection with the Collateral, including without limitation legal expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees, and any balance of such proceeds may be applied by Lender toward the payment
of such of the Liabilities, and in such order of application, as Lender may from time to time elect, including without limitation to provide cash collateral to secure the Letters of Credit. 

 
 

ARTICLE X. BORROWER'S INDEMNIFICATION    
  

    SECTION
10.1  Indemnification.  Borrower agrees to defend (with counsel satisfactory to Lender), protect,
indemnify and hold harmless Lender, each Affiliate of Lender, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (each an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature (including without limitation the disbursements and
the reasonable fees of counsel located in one law firm for each Indemnified Party in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not the Indemnified Party
shall be designated a party thereto), which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Party (whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal,
state or local laws or regulations, including without limitation securities, environmental and commercial laws and regulations, under common law or in equity, or based on contract or otherwise) in any
manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Agreement, or any act, event or transaction 

 
related or attendant thereto, the making and the management of the Loans or any Letters of Credit or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or any Letters of Credit; provided, however,
that Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party with respect to matters caused by or resulting solely from the willful misconduct or negligence of such Indemnified
Party. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Borrower shall satisfy such
undertaking to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, cost or expense covered by this indemnity shall be paid to each Indemnified Party on
demand, and, failing prompt payment, shall, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate then applicable to Loans hereunder from the date incurred by each Indemnified Party until paid by
Borrower, be added to the Liabilities of Borrower and be secured by the Collateral. The provisions of this Article X shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the other Liabilities and the
termination of this Agreement.

comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions 

    Borrower
and Lender irrevocably agree that ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS IN ANY WAY, MANNER OR RESPECT, ARISING OUT OF OR FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER AGREEMENTS OR THE
COLLATERAL SHALL BE LITIGATED IN COURTS HAVING SITUS WITHIN THE CITY AND COUNTRY OF DENVER, STATE OF COLORADO. BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY LOCAL, STATE

    (d) Lender's
failure, at any time or times hereafter, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any of the Other Agreements shall
not waive, affect or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Any suspension or waiver by Lender of an Event of Default under this Agreement or
any default under any of the Other Agreements shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default under this Agreement or any other default under any of the Other Agreements, whether the
same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different kind or character. No delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement or any Other
Agreement shall preclude other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any right or remedy. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of Borrower contained in this Agreement or any of the Other

	INSPECTION CONTINGENCY. This Agreement shall terminate and Buyer shall receive a refund of the earnest money unless Buyer gives
written notice to Seller the earlier of September 15, 2001 or 30 days after Seller has delivered to buyer a fully executed copy of the Lease for Noetix and

physical condition; the presence of or absence of any hazardous substances; the contracts and leases affecting the property; the potential financial performance of the Property; the availability of

  AGREEMENT, Dated August 13, 2001    
  

This
Addendum is attached to and made a part of that certain Commercial & Investments Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement dated July 30, 2001 between Parker, Smith &
Feek, Inc., a Washington corporation, as Buyer, and Aris Corporation, a Washington corporation, as Seller. Seller and Buyer hereby agree to the following additional terms and conditions of the
Purchase and Sale Agreement: 

	29)
	Lease
Contingencies: In addition to the contingencies set forth in Section 5 of the attached Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Buyer's
obligation to purchase the Property shall be contingent on the full execution of a Lease between Seller and Noetix Corporation ("Noetix") in substantially the form attached hereto as  Exhibit B (the
"Noetix Lease"), prior to the end of the contingency period set forth in Section 5 above.

	30)
	Buyer
acknowledges that Noetix intends to sublease one-half (1/2) of the third floor of the Property to Seller through February 28, 2002 (or
such other date as Noetix and Seller mutually agree), at a lease rate of $29.00 per rentable square foot gross and such other terms acceptable to Seller and Noetix. The execution and delivery to
Seller by Noetix of a sublease consistent with the foregoing, prior to the effective date of the Noetix Lease, is a condition precedent to Seller's obligation to perform its obligations under the
Purchase and Sale Agreement. Seller shall provide Buyer with estoppel certificate for Noetix Lease within 30 days hereof.

	31)
	Seller
represents that it has received all necessary approval from Ciber, Inc., to execute the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Noetix
Lease, and that it has also obtained all requisite corporation authorization and that evidence thereof shall be provided upon request by either Buyer or Closing Agent prior to the close of escrow.

	32)
	Buyer
represents that it has obtained all requisite corporate authorization to enter into the transactions set forth herein, and that evidence
thereof shall be provided upon request by either Seller or Closing Agent prior to the close of escrow.

	33)
	Buyer
and Seller shall proceed in good faith to execute such escrow instructions to Closing Agent as Buyer and Seller shall deem necessary and
appropriate to consummate this transaction. Such escrow instructions will provide for the delivery by the parties to Closing Agent prior to the closing of the following documents: 

    (a) Seller's
documents:  (i) the Warranty Deed in accordance with Section 17; (ii) the FIRPTA certification in accordance with
Section 16; (iii) the Assignment of Lease in accordance with Section 17; (iv) certificates of corporate authority if required as noted above; (v) appropriate excise
tax affidavits; and (vi) such other documents or items that are reasonably requested by the Closing Agent as administrative requirements, or are required under applicable law, to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

    (b) Buyer's
documents:  (i) the Assignment of Lease in accordance with Section 17; (ii) certificates of corporate authority if
required as noted above; and (iii) appropriate excise tax affidavits; and (iv) such other documents or items that are reasonably requested by the Closing Agent as administrative
requirements, or are required under applicable law, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

	34)
	As
to any reports or other materials provided to Buyer that were prepared by third parties, Seller is not warranting and will not be liable or
responsible for the accuracy, fitness or usability of such reports or materials or any recommendations or conclusions stated therein. All representations and warranties of Seller in this Agreement are
made to the knowledge of 

 

Seller,
without independent investigation or examination. As used in this Agreement, the terms "known" or "knowledge" mean actual (not constructive) knowledge by the employees and officers of Seller
that have been involved in the negotiation of this Agreement or who are regularly engaged in the management of Seller's real estate operations that include the Property. 

	35)
	Except
with respect to the representations, warranties and covenants of Seller set forth in this Agreement and any documents delivered by Seller
pursuant to this Agreement, from and after the closing of the sale of the Property as provided herein, Seller has not made, and Buyer has not relied on, any representations or warranties of Seller or
its agents in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, and Buyer hereby waives, releases, and forever discharges Seller and its agents, employees, successors and assigns of and from any
and all suits, causes of action, legal or administrative proceedings, claims, demands, damages, losses, costs or expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, which Buyer ever had, now has or
hereafter can, shall or may have or acquire or possess, arising out of the condition, status, quality, nature or productivity of the Property. Buyer further agrees to indemnify Seller and hold it
harmless from any claims, loss, cost or damage incurred as a result of any acts, omissions or conditions occurring subsequent to the transfer of the Property to Buyer.

	36)
	Each
party represents and warrants to the other party that it has not contracted or entered into any agreement with any real estate broker, finder,
agent or any other party in connection with this transaction, other than Seller's agreement to pay a commission at closing to Puget Sound Properties, Inc. in the amount of 2% of the purchase
price under the terms of a listing agreement and a related co-brokerage agreement whereby one-half of such commission is payable to Wallace Properties, Inc., as agent for the Buyer. Each party
hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the other party harmless from any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) resulting to the other party from a breach of
the representation and warranty made in this Section 36. 

To
the extent the terms of this Addendum are inconsistent with the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement to which it is attached, the terms of this Addendum shall control.

AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT    
  

Reference
is made to that certain Agreement for Purchase and Sale Agreement dated August 2, 2001 and executed August 14, 2001 ("Agreement") between Parker, Smith & Feek, Inc.
("Buyer") and Aris Corporation ("Seller"). 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Contd): 

Whereas
the Agreement is subject to Purchaser's analysis of the feasibility of the project and waiver of contingencies to purchase by September 13, 2001; 

Whereas
Buyer has received appraisals, studies and inspections (which Buyer will use best efforts to deliver to Seller if this transaction does not close) to its satisfaction (except for some minor
construction defects set forth in the inspection), and has assembled the equity and debt financing for the contemplated closing; 

Whereas,
because the devastating impact of this week's World Trade Center bombings on the insurance industry world-wide have left the Buyer, a major insurance brokerage, unable to currently assess the
impact on its own business, the parties have agreed to extend the feasibility analysis period referenced in Paragraph 5 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement for an additional thirty (30)
days to October 13, 2001, and all related dates shall be adjusted accordingly, EXCEPT for Closing Date which shall remain unchanged. 

NOW,
THEREFORE, the parties do hereby agree as follows: 

	1.
	The
period for Purchaser's inspection and analysis of the feasibility of the Lakeland Building as referenced in Paragraph 5 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement of
August 2, 2001 is hereby extended to October 13, 2001 and all other related dates Except Closing Date in the agreement shall likewise be extended for an additional thirty days;

	2.
	Seller
will take steps to have its contractor repair damage from improperly installed flashing as identified in the Inspection Report (see Exhibit A attached hereto) and to
ensure such repairs are completed prior to closing;

	3.
	All
other terms and conditions not specifically modified in this Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
