Within the limits set forth in the preceding sentence, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans on or after the Closing Date and prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein.

(b) Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, Lender agrees to make a single advance in the amount of up to $2,000,000 (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date.

(c) LIBOR and Base Rate. The Term Loan and each advance under the Revolving Loan Commitment (each such advance is referred to herein as a “Loan”) shall constitute either a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan, subject to the following conditions:

(1) Each Loan that is made or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made or continued on such Business Day, in such amount (equal to $100,000.00 or an integral multiple thereto), and with such an Interest Period as the Borrower shall request by written notice given to the Lender no later than 11:00 a.m. (Denver, Colorado time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of disbursement or continuation of the requested LIBOR Rate Loan. Each written notice of any LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and the Borrower shall indemnify the Lender against any loss or expense incurred by the Lender as a result of any failure by the Borrower to consummate such LIBOR Rate Loan, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits) or expense incurred by reason of liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Lender to fund the LIBOR Rate Loan. A certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense submitted by the Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. In the event that the Borrower fails to provide the Lender with the required written notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a written notice that such LIBOR Rate Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. In no event shall the Borrower be permitted to select a LIBOR Rate Loan having an Interest Period ending after the Maturity Date;

(2) Each Loan that is made as a Base Rate Loan shall be made on such Business Day and in such amount as the Borrower shall request by written notice given to the Lender no later than 11:00 a.m. (Denver, Colorado time) on the date of disbursement of the requested Base Rate Loan.

SECTION 2.2

Notes.

(a) The Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note. The Revolving Credit Note shall be a master note, and the principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note or any ledger or other record of the Lender, which shall be presumptive evidence of the principal owing and unpaid on the Revolving Credit Note.

(b) The Term Loan shall be evidenced by the Term Loan Note. The principal amount of the Term Loan outstanding shall be evidenced by the Tern Loan Note or any ledger or other record of the Lender, which shall be presumptive evidence of the principal owing and unpaid on the Term Loan Note.

SECTION 2.3 Notice of Borrowings. If requested by Lender, the Borrower shall give the Lender written notice not later than 2:00 p.m., Denver, Colorado, time, on the same Business Day that a proposed borrowing is requested under the Revolving Loan Commitment (a “Borrowing”). Such notice shall be irrevocable, shall in each case refer to this Agreement and shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. Each notice of Borrowing shall be deemed a representation by Borrower that all conditions precedent to such Borrowing have been satisfied. So long as the credit sweep agreement provided by the Lender for the benefit of the Borrower remains in effect, Borrowings may be made on an automated basis in accordance with such agreement.

SECTION 2.4

Notation of Loan Amounts; Repayment of Loans.

(a) Notation of Loan Amounts. Each Note shall bear interest from the date of the advances thereunder 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 a schedule attached to each 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 any Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes.

(b) Repayment of Revolving Loans. Upon the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or upon the earlier termination of this Agreement, the entire outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and all other sums due hereunder, shall be due and payable in full.

(b) A commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) of 0.25% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Maximum Amount during the preceding quarter shall be payable, in arrears, on the last day of each quarter and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Commitment Fee shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Commitment Fee shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds.

(ii) With respect to any Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate and the Base Rate Margin specified in subpart (a)(iii) below, which rate shall change when and as the Base Rate changes in accordance with this Agreement.

(iii) The LIBOR Rate Margin or Base Rate Margin, as applicable, shall be equal to the margin set forth in the table below with respect to Revolving Loans or Term Loan, as applicable:

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 per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the Base Rate plus 4% (the “Default Rate”) From and after any Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall accrue interest at the Default Rate.

Additional Costs.

(a) If, due to either (i) any change in any law or regulation (or its interpretation), or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central lender or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to the Lender of making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by the Lender pay to the Lender additional amounts sufficient to reimburse the Lender for any such additional costs. A certificate of the Lender submitted to the Borrower as to the amount of such additional costs, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

A certificate of the Lender submitted to the Borrower as to such amounts shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Upon notice from the Borrower to the Lender within five (5) Business Days after the Lender notifies the Borrower of any such additional costs pursuant to this Section 2.10(b), the Borrower may either (A) prepay in full the Loan if so affected, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment, or (B) convert the Loan if so affected into a Loan of any other type not so affected upon not less than four (4) Business Days’ notice to the Lender.

SECTION 2.12 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any change in any law or regulation (or its interpretation) shall make it unlawful, or any central Lender or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for the Lender to perform its obligations hereunder to make, continue, or convert LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder, then, (a) on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower, the obligation of the Lender to make or continue a LIBOR Rate Loan or to convert any Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan shall terminate and the Lender shall thereafter be obligated to make only Base Rate Loans whenever any written notice requests for any type LIBOR Rate Loan is received, and (b) upon demand therefor by the Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall either (i) forthwith prepay in full any LIBOR Rate Loan then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, or request that the Lender, upon four (4) Business Days’ notice, convert any LIBOR Rate Loan then outstanding into a Base Rate Loan.

The loan evidenced by this Note is a revolving loan, whereby the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow the principal indebtedness evidenced hereby.

1. Credit Agreement. This Note (the "Note") is the Revolving Credit Note referred to in the Credit Agreement and is entitled to the benefits thereof. The proceeds of this Note have been advanced for the uses specified in the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings given them in the Credit Agreement.

2. Interest and Payments. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest, from the date of each Advance made by Lender until repaid in full, at the rate specified in the Credit Agreement, which interest shall be due and payable, in arrears, as provided in the Credit Agreement. Upon the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or upon the earlier termination of the Credit Agreement, the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and all other sums due hereunder, shall be due and payable in full. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and all other sums due hereunder, in full or in part, as set forth in the Credit Agreement. All payments of principal, interest and any other sums on this Note due from the Borrower to Lender shall be made to Lender in lawful money of the United States of America in the manner set forth in the Credit Agreement.

3. Application of Proceeds. All payments hereunder by Borrower shall be applied by Lender:

First, to the payment of all reimbursable expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Lender in connection herewith including reasonable attorneys fees incurred in connection with any enforcement action taken with respect to this Note;

A-2

Second, to the payment of any other amounts due (other than principal and interest) under this Note or the Credit Agreement;

Third, to the payment of all interest accrued and unpaid on the outstanding indebtedness; and

Fourth, to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the outstanding indebtedness.

4. Default. Time is of the essence hereof. The occurrence of any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement shall be a default hereunder and, upon the occurrence of any such default, the payment of all principal, interest and any other sums due in accordance with the terms of this Note shall, at the option of Lender, be accelerated and such principal, interest and other sums shall be immediately due and payable without notice or demand, and Lender shall have the option to foreclose or to require foreclosure of any or all liens and security interests securing the payment hereof and/or to exercise any other rights and remedies available to Lender hereunder or under the Credit Agreement. From and after an Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance shall accrue interest at the Default Rate.

5. Governing Law. As additional consideration for the extension of credit, Borrower understands and agrees that the loan evidenced by this Note is made in the State of Colorado and the provisions hereof will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado. The parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of the courts and the venue specified in the Credit Agreement.

6. Maximum Interest. The provisions of this Note are hereby expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand or acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid ("Interest"), to Lender for the use, forbearance or retention of the money loaned hereunder exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, performance or fulfillment of any provision of this Note shall, at the time of performance or fulfillment of such provision shall be due, exceed the limit for Interest prescribed by law, then ipso facto the obligation to be performed or fulfilled shall be reduced to such limit and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, Lender shall ever receive anything of value deemed Interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive Interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal (whether or not then due) or at the option of Lender be paid over to the Borrower, and not to the payment of Interest.

7. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) The Borrower hereby waives demand for payment, presentment for payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of nonpayment, notice of acceleration of maturity, diligence in taking any action to collect sums owing hereunder and all duty or obligation of Lender to effect, protect, perfect, retain or enforce any security for the payment of this Note or to proceed against any collateral before otherwise enforcing this Note.

(c) The Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred in connection with Lender's collection of payments due from Borrower hereunder.

(d) The Borrower agrees that Lender may from time to time extend the maturity of this Note or the time any payment is due under this Note and may accept further security or release security for the payment of this Note, without in any way affecting any obligations of the Borrower to Lender.

(e) This Fifth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note is given in replacement of and substitution for, but not in repayment of, the Fourth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note dated August ___, 2006 in the principal amount of $7,000,000.
