direction or obtained the consent of such broker-dealer as to the

receive from Buyer no less and no more than the balance of the
purchase price of $142,500.00 in immediately available funds in one of
the following manners:
1. If, by the close of business on the 90th day after the Registration
Date, all of the Shares have been sold at the direction and/or consent
of such broker-dealer for an amount less than $4.00 per Share
($142,500.00), net of any brokerage fees or other associated costs,
then Buyer shall pay to Seller, in immediately available funds, the
difference between $142,500.00 and the net price for which all Shares
were sold.

consent of such broker-dealer and the amount received for said Shares
is less than $142,500.00, net of any brokerage fees or other
associated costs, then Buyer shall pay to Seller the difference
between the price received and $142,500.00 and Seller shall return all
right, title and interest in all remaining Shares to Buyer.

3. If, by the close of business on the 90th day after the Registration
Date, Seller has sold all, or a portion of said Shares, at the
direction and/or consent of such broker-dealer, for a sum equal to or
greater than $142,500.00, net of any brokerage fees or other
associated costs, Buyer will have no obligation to purchase any Shares
from Seller, nor to pay Seller any additional cash. If Seller retains
ownership of any Shares, said Shares will remain the property of
Seller.

price sold and $4.00 per Share is strictly contingent upon Seller
complying with all direction from such broker-dealer with respect to
whether or not to sell the Shares within the first ninety (90) days
after the Registration Date. If Seller acts in contradiction to the
direction of such broker-dealer or without such broker-dealer's
consent, Buyer is released from all further obligations under Section
2.3 ( c ) of this Agreement.
5. If the 90th or 91st day falls on a weekend or a holiday when the
market is closed, the next business day in which the Shares can be
traded will be considered the 90th or 91st day.

7.8. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in
accordance with the internal laws (and not the law of conflicts) of the state of
Colorado.
7.9. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this
Agreement will be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
parties. No waiver by any party of any default, misrepresentation or breach of
warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to
extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of
warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue
of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.
7.10. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid
or unenforceable under law in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or
the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other
situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or
unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of
invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reform the scope,
duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases,
or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or
14
provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closer to expressing the
intentions of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement
shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of time within which
judgment may be appealed.
7.11. Expenses. Each of the parties hereto will bear their own costs and
expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except for those agreed to
be borne by the Seller as set forth in Section 2.3(a) above.
7.12. Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to
be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no
rule of strict construction will be applied against any party. The parties
intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall
have independent significance. If any party has breached any representation,
warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists
another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter
(regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the party has not
breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach
of the first representation, warranty or covenant.
7.13. Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing, the Seller
shall, if reasonably requested by the Buyer, make, execute and deliver to the
Buyer such additional assignments, bills of sale, or other instruments of
transfer as may be necessary or proper to transfer to the Buyer all of the
Seller's right, title and interest in and to any of the Purchased Assets. The
Buyer shall likewise execute and deliver to the Seller any instruments or
documents necessary to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
7.14 Utilities and licenses. The current bills on utilities shall be paid
by Seller and Buyer in proportion to the time of transfer of ownership which
will be the effective date of November 1, 1996. The deposits made by Ridgeworld

Buyer will make replacement deposits allowing the release the original deposit
to Seller. Buyer will pay to Seller a pro-rata share of the one year
occupational license, due on October 1, and the commercial property tax for the
current tax year. Said funds have been wired into the escrow account for Seller
and will not be disbursed until all requirements of the instruction letter have
been met.
7.15 Transition and Accounting. Seller will provide Buyer will a full
accounting of all business activity from November 1, 1996 until the transfer of
possession of the store and will comply with all reasonable requests for
assistance in completing the transition of ownership and operations. Seller will
continue to provide the current complement of arcade games now operating in the
Store until Buyer arranges for replacements. Buyer will give Seller two weeks
notice for the removal of said games. During the period from November 1, 1996
until removal, Seller and Buyer will share equally in the net revenues from said
arcade games.
