claims, losses or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses) ("Damages") actually suffered or paid by Purchaser or the Company
as a result of the breach of any representation or warranty made by any
Seller in this Agreement. To the extent that Seller's undertakings set forth
in this Section 7.2(a) may be unenforceable, Seller shall contribute the
maximum amount that they are permitted to contribute under applicable law to
the payment and satisfaction of all Damages incurred by the parties entitled
to indemnification hereunder.

     (b) Purchaser and the Company hereby agree to indemnify and hold
harmless Seller against Damages actually suffered or paid by Seller as a
result of the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser
in this Agreement. To the extent that the Purchaser's undertakings set forth
in this Section 7.2(b) may be unenforceable, the Purchaser and the Company
shall contribute the maximum amount that they are permitted to contribute
under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Damages incurred
by the parties entitled to indemnification hereunder.

     (c) Any party seeking indemnification under this Article VII (an
"Indemnified Party") shall give each party from whom indemnification is being
sought (each, an "Indemnifying Party") notice  of any matter for which such
Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification, stating the amount of the
Damages, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a
reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right
of indemnification is claimed or arises. The obligations of an Indemnifying
Party under this Article VII with respect to Damages arising from any claims
of any third party which are subject to the indemnification provided for in
this Article VII (collectively, "Third Party Claims") shall be governed by
and contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions: if an
Indemnified Party shall receive, after the Closing Date, initial notice of
any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying
Party notice of such Third Party Claim within such time frame as is necessary
to allow for a timely response and in any event within 30 days of the receipt
by the Indemnified Party of such notice; provided,

<Page>

however, that the failure to provide such timely notice shall not release the
Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VII except
to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such
failure. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the
defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its
choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party
within 30 days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party;
provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a
conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the
Indemnified Party (upon advice of counsel) for the same counsel to represent
both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified
Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnified Party and such counsel
shall contest such Third Party Claims in good faith. In the event the
Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against
any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall
cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to
the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, all witnesses,
pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party's
possession or under the Indemnified Party's control relating thereto as is
reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event the
Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against
any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the
Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified
Party, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, all such witnesses, records,
materials and information in the Indemnifying Party's possession or under the
Indemnifying Party's control relating thereto as is reasonably required by
the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written
consent of the Indemnified Party, (i) settle or compromise any Third Party
Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the
Indemnified Party of a written release from all liability in respect of such
Third Party Claim or (ii) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim in any
manner that may adversely affect the Indemnified Party. Finally, no Third
Party Claim which is being defended in good faith by the Indemnifying Party
or which is being defended by the Indemnified Party as provided above in this
Section 7.2(c) shall be settled by the Indemnified Party without the written
consent of the Indemnifying Party.

                                 ARTICLE VIII

                  FIRST AMENDMENT TO THIRD EXTENSION AGREEMENT

     This First Amendment to Third Extension Agreement ("First Amendment") is
entered into this 14th day of June, 2001, by and between Ballantyne of Omaha,
Inc. ("Borrower"); Design and Manufacturing, Inc., Xenotech Strong, Inc., Strong
Westrex, Inc. and Xenotech Rental Corp. (collectively the "Guarantors") and
Wells Fargo Bank Nebraska, National Association ("Bank").

                                    RECITALS

     A.   The Borrower and the Guarantors executed a Loan Repayment Agreement
dated December 29, 2000; an Extension Agreement dated January 31, 2001; Second
Extension Agreement dated March 15, 2001 and a Third Extension Agreement dated
April 27, 2001 (collectively the "Agreement"), with regard to the repayment of
the obligations of Borrower to the Bank as more fully described in the
Agreement.

     B.   The Borrower is indebted to the Bank as evidenced by a Revolving Note
dated January 5, 2001, in the maximum principal amount of $9,500,000.00 as
modified by Note Modifications dated January 31, 2001, March 15, 2001, and April
27, 2001. The principal balance outstanding on June 13, 2001 under the Revolving
Note is $4,428,346.64; accrued and unpaid interest to that date amount to
$11,995.56; interest continues to accrue at the rate of $975.94 per day based
upon the interest rate presently in effect.

     C.   The Borrower is in default under the terms of the Agreement due to its
failure to provide a signed commitment letter by June 15, 2001, and the Borrower
has requested that the Bank forbear from making demand, and the Bank has agreed
to do so pursuant to the terms and conditions in this First Amendment.

                                    AMENDMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other valuable

     2.   ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The Borrower and Guarantors acknowledge and agree that
the recitals herein are true and correct and that the indebtedness evidenced by
the Revolving Note is due and owing to the Bank without offset, defense or
counterclaims and further acknowledge that the Security Agreement, Deed of Trust
and Assignment and other documents evidencing the security for the Revolving
Note are valid, binding and fully enforceable according to their terms; and
further acknowledge that the Guaranties and security agreements therefor are
valid and binding and fully enforceable according to their terms.

     3.   AMENDMENTS TO AGREEMENT.
