On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer (including, if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of such extension or amendment), subject to, and effective upon, acceptance for payment and payment for the Shares validly tendered herewith and not validly withdrawn, prior to the time the Offer expires (as such expiration may be extended, the “Expiration Date”) in accordance with the terms of the Offer, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Purchaser, all right, title and interest in and to all of the Shares being tendered hereby and any and all cash dividends, distributions, rights, other Shares or other securities issued or issuable in respect of such Shares on or after the Expiration Date (collectively, “Distributions”). In addition, the undersigned hereby irrevocably appoints American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the depositary for the Offer (the “Depositary”), the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact and proxy of the undersigned with respect to such Shares and any Distributions with full power of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest) to the fullest extent of such stockholder’s rights with respect to such Shares and any Distributions to (a) deliver certificates representing Shares (the “Share Certificates”) and any Distributions, or transfer of ownership of such Shares and any Distributions on the account books maintained by The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), together, in either such case, with all accompanying evidence of transfer and authenticity, to or upon the order of the Purchaser, (b) present such Shares and any Distributions for transfer on the books of Boulder, and (c) receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Shares and any Distributions, all in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.

By executing this Letter of Transmittal (or taking action resulting in the delivery of an Agent’s Message), the undersigned hereby irrevocably appoints Craig Steeneck and M. Kelley Maggs, and each of them, and any other designees of the Purchaser the attorneys-in-fact and proxies of the undersigned, each with full power of substitution, to the full extent of such stockholder’s rights with respect to the Shares tendered hereby which have been accepted for payment and with respect to any Distributions. The designees of the Purchaser will, with respect to the Shares and any associated Distributions for which the appointment is effective, be empowered to exercise all voting and any other rights of such stockholder, as they, in their sole discretion, may deem proper at any annual, special, adjourned or postponed meeting of stockholders of Boulder, by written consent in lieu of any such meeting or otherwise.

It is understood that the undersigned will not receive payment for the Shares unless and until the Shares are accepted for payment and until the Share Certificate(s) owned by the undersigned are received by the Depositary at the address set forth above, together with such additional documents as the Depositary may require, or, in the case of Shares held in book-entry form, ownership of Shares is validly transferred on the account books maintained by DTC, and until the same are processed for payment by the Depositary. It is understood that the method of delivery of the Shares, the Share Certificate(s) and all other required documents (including delivery through DTC) is at the option and risk of the undersigned and that the risk of loss of such Shares, Share Certificate(s) and other documents shall pass only after the Depositary has actually received the Shares or Share Certificate(s) (including, in the case of a book-entry transfer, by Book-Entry Confirmation (as defined in Instruction 2 below)). IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL SUCH DOCUMENTS BE SENT BY PROPERLY INSURED REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.

Except as stated in the Offer to Purchase, this tender is irrevocable.

The undersigned understands that the valid tender of Shares pursuant to any of the procedures described in the Offer to Purchase and in the instructions hereto will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and Purchaser upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer (and if the Offer is extended or amended, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of any such extension or amendment).

Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of the Offer

1.    Guarantee of Signatures.    Except as otherwise provided below, all signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by a financial institution (including most commercial banks, savings and loan associations and brokerage houses) that is a member in good standing of a recognized Medallion Program approved by the Securities Transfer Association Incorporated, including the Security Transfer Agents Medallion Program or by an “eligible guarantor institution”, as such term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (each, an “Eligible Institution”). Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal need not be guaranteed (a) if this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered owner(s) (which term, for purposes of this document, includes any participant in DTC whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of the Shares) of Shares tendered herewith and such registered owner has not completed the box titled “Special Payment Instructions” or the box titled “Special Delivery Instructions” on this Letter of Transmittal or (b) if such Shares are tendered for the account of an Eligible Institution. See Instruction 5.

2.    Delivery of Letter of Transmittal and Certificates or Book-Entry Confirmations.    This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by stockholders either if Share Certificate(s) are to be forwarded herewith or, unless an Agent’s Message is utilized, if tenders are to be made pursuant to the procedures for tender by book-entry transfer to an account maintained by the Depositary at DTC set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. Share Certificate(s) representing all physically tendered Shares, or confirmation of any book-entry transfer into the Depositary’s account at DTC of Shares tendered by book-entry transfer (a “Book-Entry Confirmation”), as well as this Letter of Transmittal properly completed and duly executed with any required signature guarantees, unless an Agent’s Message in the case of a book-entry transfer is utilized, and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the Depositary at its address set forth herein prior to the Expiration Date. Please do not send your Share Certificates directly to the Purchaser, Pinnacle or Boulder.

Stockholders whose Share Certificate(s) are not immediately available or who cannot deliver all other required documents to the Depositary prior to the Expiration Date or who cannot complete the procedures for book-entry transfer to an account maintained by the Depositary at DTC prior to the Expiration Date may nevertheless tender their Shares by properly completing and duly executing a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedure set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. Pursuant to such procedure: (a) such tender must be made by or through an Eligible Institution, (b) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery substantially in the form provided by the Purchaser must be received by the Depositary prior to the Expiration Date and (c) Share Certificate(s) representing all tendered Shares, in proper form for transfer (or a Book-Entry Confirmation with respect to such Shares), as well as this Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed with any required signature guarantees (unless, in the case of a book-entry transfer to an account maintained by the Depositary at DTC, an Agent’s Message is utilized), together with all other required documents, must be received by the Depositary within three NASDAQ Global Select Market trading days after the date of execution of such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. For the purpose of the foregoing, a trading day is any day on which the NASDAQ Global Select Market is open for business.

A properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal must accompany each such delivery of Share Certificate(s) to the Depositary.

The term “Agent’s Message” means a message, transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the Depositary and forming part of a Book-Entry Confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in DTC tendering the Shares which are the subject of such Book-Entry Confirmation that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Letter of Transmittal and that the Purchaser may enforce such agreement against the participant.

Shares tendered by a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery will not be deemed validly tendered for purposes of satisfying the Minimum Tender Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) unless and until the Shares to which such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery relates are delivered to the Depositary.

THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF SHARES, THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING DELIVERY THROUGH DTC, IS AT THE ELECTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING STOCKHOLDER. DELIVERY OF ALL SUCH DOCUMENTS WILL BE DEEMED MADE AND RISK OF LOSS OF THE SHARE CERTIFICATES SHALL PASS ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF A BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER, BY BOOK-ENTRY CONFIRMATION). IF SUCH DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL SUCH DOCUMENTS BE SENT BY PROPERLY INSURED REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE.

No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted and no fractional Shares will be purchased. All tendering stockholders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal, waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of their Shares for payment other than by public announcement of the acceptance for payment of Shares pursuant to the Offer.

All questions as to purchase price, the form of documents and the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender of Shares will be determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion, which determinations shall be final and binding on you. Purchaser reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of Shares it determines not to be in proper form or the acceptance of which or payment for which may, in the opinion of Purchaser, be unlawful. Purchaser also reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in the tender of any Shares by any particular stockholder, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of other stockholders. No tender of Shares will be deemed to have been validly made until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived to the satisfaction of Purchaser. None of Pinnacle, Purchaser, Boulder, the Depositary, the Dealer Manager (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), the Information Agent (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in tenders or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.

3.    Inadequate Space.    If the space provided herein is inadequate, the certificate numbers and/or the number of Shares should be listed on a separate schedule attached hereto and separately signed on each page thereof in the same manner as this Letter of Transmittal is signed.

4.    Partial Tenders (Applicable to Holders of Share Certificate(s) Only).    If fewer than all the Shares evidenced by any Share Certificate delivered to the Depositary are to be tendered, fill in the number of Shares that are to be tendered in the column titled “Total Number of Shares Tendered” in the box titled “Description of Shares Tendered.” In such cases, new Share Certificate(s) for the remainder of the Shares that were evidenced by the old Share Certificate(s) but not tendered will be sent to the registered owner, unless otherwise provided in the appropriate box on this Letter of Transmittal, as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date. All Shares represented by Share Certificate(s) delivered to the Depositary will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated.

5.    Signatures on Letter of Transmittal; Stock Powers and Endorsements.    If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered owner(s) of the Shares tendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the Share Certificate(s) without alteration or any other change whatsoever.

If any Shares tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

If any tendered Shares are registered in the names of different holder(s), it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of such Shares.

If this Letter of Transmittal or any certificates or stock powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or

10

representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to the Purchaser of their authority so to act must be submitted. Proper evidence of authority includes a power of attorney, a letter testamentary or a letter of appointment.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered owner(s) of the Shares listed and transmitted hereby, no endorsements of Share Certificate(s) or separate stock powers are required unless payment is to be made to, or Share Certificates representing Shares not tendered or accepted for payment are to be issued in the name of, a person other than the registered owner(s), in which case the Share Certificate(s) representing the Shares tendered by this Letter of Transmittal must be accompanied by all documents required by Pinnacle to evidence and effect that transfer and the person requesting such payment pays any applicable transfer taxes or establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Pinnacle and the Depositary that any such transfer taxes have already been paid or are not applicable.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered owner(s) of the Share(s) listed, the Share Certificate(s) must be endorsed or accompanied by the appropriate stock powers, in either case, signed exactly as the name or names of the registered owner(s) or holder(s) appear(s) on the Share Certificate(s). Signatures on such Share Certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. See Instruction 1.

6.    Transfer Taxes.    Except as otherwise provided in this Instruction 6, the Purchaser will pay any transfer taxes with respect to the transfer and sale of Shares pursuant to the Offer (for the avoidance of doubt, transfer taxes do not include United States federal income or backup withholding taxes). If, however, payment of the purchase price is to be made to, or (in the circumstances permitted hereby) if Share Certificate(s) not tendered or accepted for payment are to be registered in the name of, any person other than the registered owner(s), or if tendered Share Certificate(s) are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of any transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered owner(s) or such person) payable on account of the transfer to such person will be deducted from the purchase price unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes, or exemption therefrom, is submitted.

Except as provided in this Instruction 6, it will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the Share Certificate(s) listed in this Letter of Transmittal.

7.    Special Payment and Delivery Instructions.    If a check for the purchase price and/or Share Certificate(s) representing Shares not tendered or accepted for payment are to be issued or returned to, a person other than the signer(s) of this Letter of Transmittal and/or such certificates are to be mailed to a person other than the signer(s) of this Letter of Transmittal or to an address other than that shown in the box titled “Description of Shares Tendered” above, the appropriate boxes on this Letter of Transmittal should be completed. Stockholders delivering Shares tendered hereby or by Agent’s Message by book-entry transfer may request that Shares not purchased be credited to an account maintained at DTC as such stockholder may designate in the box titled “Special Payment Instructions” herein. If no such instructions are given, all such Shares not purchased will be returned by crediting the same account at DTC as the account from which such Shares were delivered.

8.    Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies.    Questions or requests for assistance may be directed to the Information Agent or the Dealer Manager (as identified below) at their respective addresses and telephone numbers set forth below or to your broker, dealer, commercial bank or trust company. Additional copies of the Offer to Purchase, this Letter of Transmittal, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and other tender offer materials may be obtained from the Information Agent as set forth below, and will be furnished at the Purchaser’s expense.

9.    Backup Withholding.    Under the United States federal income “backup withholding” tax rules, the Depositary may be required to withhold a portion of any payments made to certain stockholders pursuant to the Offer or the Merger (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), as applicable. In order to avoid such backup

11

withholding, each stockholder that is a “U.S. person” (as defined in the instructions to the enclosed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9) must certify that such stockholder is not subject to backup withholding by completing, signing and submitting to the Depositary the attached IRS Form W-9. Similarly, each stockholder that is a foreign individual or a foreign entity must certify that such stockholder is not subject to backup withholding by completing, signing and submitting to the Depositary an appropriate IRS Form W-8. A U.S. entity that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes and has a foreign owner must complete, sign and submit an appropriate IRS Form W-8, and not the enclosed IRS Form W-9. The various IRS Forms W-8 may be obtained from the Depositary or downloaded from the IRS website athttp://www.irs.gov. A stockholder’s failure to complete, sign and submit to the Depositary an IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 will not cause Shares to be deemed invalidly tendered, but may require the Depositary to withhold a portion of any payments made to the stockholder pursuant to the Offer and may subject the stockholder to a $50 penalty.

Please consult your tax advisor for further guidance regarding the completion of IRS Form W-9 or an appropriate IRS Form W-8 to claim exemption from backup withholding.

NOTE: FAILURE TO COMPLETE, SIGN AND SUBMIT TO THE DEPOSITARY AN IRS FORM W-9 OR APPROPRIATE IRS FORM W-8 MAY RESULT IN BACKUP WITHHOLDING OF A PORTION OF ANY PAYMENTS MADE TO YOU AND MAY SUBJECT YOU TO A $50 PENALTY.

10.    Lost, Destroyed or Stolen Share Certificates.    If any Share Certificate has been lost, destroyed or stolen, the stockholder should promptly notify the Transfer Agent at 877-248-6417. You will be required to make an affidavit as to the loss, theft or destruction of the certificate, and may be reasonably required by Boulder to execute and deliver a customary indemnity agreement to provide indemnity against any claim that may be made against Boulder with respect to such certificate. This Letter of Transmittal and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures for replacing lost, destroyed or stolen Share Certificate(s) have been followed.

11.    Waiver of Conditions.    Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the conditions of the Offer may be waived by the Purchaser in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion.

IMPORTANT: THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR AN AGENT’S MESSAGE, TOGETHER WITH SHARE CERTIFICATE(S) OR BOOK-ENTRY CONFIRMATION OR A PROPERLY COMPLETED AND DULY EXECUTED NOTICE OF GUARANTEED DELIVERY AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE.
