                  (iii) The Board of Directors of the Company elects to
         terminate this Agreement for "cause" and notifies Executive in writing
         of such election;

                  (iv) The Board of Directors of the Company elects to terminate
         this Agreement without "cause" and notifies Executive in writing of
         such election;

                  (v) Executive elects to terminate this Agreement for "good
         reason" and notifies the Company in writing of such election; or


                                       3
<PAGE>   4

                  (vi) Executive elects to terminate this Agreement without
         "good reason" and notifies the Company in writing of such election.

         If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii) or
(v) of this Section 4(a), such termination shall be effective immediately. If
this Agreement is terminated pursuant to clause (iv) or (vi) of this Section
4(a), such termination shall be effective thirty (30) days after delivery of the
notice of termination.

         (b) "Cause" Defined. "Cause" means:

                  (i) Executive has breached the provisions of Section 5 or 7 of
         this Agreement in any material respect and has failed to cure such
         breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of
         default from the Company;

                  (ii) Executive has engaged in willful and material misconduct,
         including, without limitation, willful and material failure to perform
         Executive's duties as an officer or executive of the Company or Parent
         and has failed to cure such failure or misconduct within thirty (30)
         days after receipt of written notice of default from the Company;

                  (iii) Executive has committed fraud, misappropriation or
         embezzlement in connection with the Company's or Parent's business; or

         contendere to any act constituting a felony under the laws of any state
         or of the United States of America, or any crime involving moral
         turpitude that causes material harm to the Company or Parent.

         In the event that the Company terminates Executive's employment for
"cause" pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 4(a) and Executive objects in
writing to the Board of Directors' determination that there was proper "cause"
for such termination within thirty (30) days after Executive is notified of such
termination, the matter shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8(a). If Executive fails to object to any such
determination of "cause" in writing within such thirty (30) day period, he shall
be deemed to have waived his right to object to that determination. If such
arbitration determines that there was not proper "cause" for termination, such
termination shall be deemed to be a termination pursuant to clause (iv) of
Section 4(a), and Executive's sole remedy shall be to receive the wage
continuation benefits contemplated by Section 4(f).

         (c) Effect of Termination. Notwithstanding any termination of this
Agreement, Executive, in consideration of his employment hereunder to the date
of such termination, shall remain bound by the provisions of this Agreement
which specifically relate to periods, activities or obligations upon or
subsequent to the termination of Executive's employment.

employment with the Company, Executive shall deliver promptly to the Company all
records, manuals, books, blank forms, documents, letters, memoranda, notes,
notebooks, reports, data, tables, calculations or copies thereof that relate in
any way to the business, products, practices or techniques of the Company or any
of its Affiliates (as hereinafter defined), and all other property, trade
secrets and confidential information of the Company or any of its Affiliates,
including, but not limited to, all documents that in whole or in part contain

Affiliates, which in any of these cases are in Executive's possession or under
Executive's control.

         (f) Wage Continuation. If Executive's employment by the Company is
terminated pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iv) or (v) of Section 4(a), the
Company shall continue to pay to Executive or his estate, as the case may be,
his base salary then in effect (less any payments received by Executive from any
disability income insurance policy provided to him by the Company) and shall
continue to provide health insurance benefits for Executive, his spouse and
dependents through the period the longer of (a) three (3) years from the date
hereof, or (b) six (6) months from the date of termination of employment. If

termination.

         (h) "Affiliate" Defined. As used in this Agreement, the term
"Affiliate" of a person or entity means any person or entity controlled by,
controlling or under common control with such person or entity, or any member of
the immediate family, including parents, spouse, children or siblings, of such
person.

         (i) "Good Reason" Defined. As used in this Agreement, the term "good

         5. Confidential Information. Except as permitted or directed by the
Company's Board of Directors, during the term of his employment or at any time
thereafter, Executive shall not divulge, furnish or make accessible to anyone or
use in any way (other than in the ordinary course of the business of the Company
or any of its Affiliates) any confidential or secret knowledge or information of
the Company or any of its Affiliates that Executive has acquired or become
acquainted with or will acquire or become acquainted with prior to the
termination of the period of his employment by the Company (including employment
by the Company or any Affiliates of the Company prior to the date of this
Agreement), whether developed by himself or by others, concerning any trade
secrets, confidential or secret designs, processes, formulae, plans, devices or
material (whether or not patented or patentable) directly or indirectly useful
in any aspect of the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates, any
customer or supplier lists of the Company or any of its Affiliates, any
confidential or secret development or research work of the Company or any of its
Affiliates, or any other confidential information or secret aspects of the
business of the Company or any of its Affiliates. Executive acknowledges that
the above-described knowledge or information constitutes a unique and valuable
asset of the Company and represents a substantial investment of time and expense
by the Company, and that any disclosure or other use of such knowledge or
information other than for the sole benefit of the Company would be wrongful and
would cause irreparable harm to the Company. Both during and after the term of
his employment, Executive will refrain from any acts or omissions that would
reduce the value of such knowledge or information to the Company or any of its
Affiliates. The foregoing obligations of confidentiality shall not apply to any
knowledge or information that is now published or which subsequently becomes
generally publicly known in the form in which it was obtained from the Company
or any of its Affiliates, other than as a direct or indirect result of the
breach of this Agreement by Executive.

         6. Ventures. If, during the term of his employment, Executive is
engaged in or associated with the planning or implementing of any project,
program or venture involving the Company, or any of its Affiliates, and a third
party or parties, all rights in such project, program or venture shall belong to
the Company or its Affiliates, as applicable. Except as approved by the
Company's Board of Directors, Executive shall not be entitled to any interest in
such project, program or venture or to any commission, finder's fee or other
compensation in connection therewith other than the compensation to be paid to
Executive as provided in this Agreement. Executive shall have no interest,
direct or indirect, in any vendor or customer of the Company or any of its
Affiliates.

         7. Intellectual Property.

         (a) Disclosure and Assignment. Executive will promptly disclose in
writing to the Company complete information concerning each and every invention,
discovery, improvement, device, design, apparatus, practice, process, method or
product, whether patentable or not, made, developed, perfected, devised,
conceived or first reduced to practice by Executive, either solely or in
collaboration with others, during the term of this Agreement, or within six (6)
months thereafter, whether or not during regular working hours, relating either
directly or indirectly to the business, products, practices or techniques of the
Company or any of its Affiliates ("Developments"). Executive, to the


                                       6
<PAGE>   7

extent that he has the legal right to do so, hereby acknowledges that any and
all of the Developments are the property of the Company and hereby assigns and
agrees to assign to the Company any and all of Executive's right, title and
interest in and to any and all Developments. At the request of the Company,
Executive will confer with the Company and its representatives for the purpose
of disclosing all Developments to the Company as the Company shall reasonably
request during the period ending one (1) year after termination of Executive's
employment with the Company.

         (b) Future Developments. As to any future Developments made by
Executive that relate to the business, products or practices of the Company, or
any of its Affiliates, and that are first conceived or reduced to practice
during the term of this Agreement, or within six (6) months thereafter, but
which are claimed for any reason to belong to an entity or person other than the
Company or any of its Affiliates, Executive will promptly disclose the same in
writing to the Company and shall not disclose the same to others if the Company,
within twenty (20) days thereafter, shall claim ownership of such Developments
under the terms of this Agreement. If the Company makes no such claim, Executive
hereby acknowledges that the Company has made no promise to receive and hold in
confidence any such information disclosed by Executive.

         (c) Limitation on Sections 7(a) and 7(b). The provisions of Sections
7(a) and 7(b) shall not apply to any Development meeting the following
conditions:

                  (i) such Development was developed entirely on Executive's own
         time;

                  (ii) such Development was made without the use of any
         equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the
         Company or any of its Affiliates;

                  (iii) such Development does not relate (A) directly to the
         business of the Company or any of its Affiliates or (B) to the
         Company's, or any of its Affiliate's, actual or demonstrably
         anticipated research or development; and

                  (iv) such Development does not result from any work performed
         by Executive for the Company or any of its Affiliates.

         (d) Assistance of Executive. Upon request and without further
compensation therefor, but at no expense to Executive, and whether during the
term of this Agreement or thereafter, Executive will do all lawful acts,
including but not limited to, the execution of papers and lawful oaths and the
giving of testimony, that, in the opinion of the Company, may be necessary or
desirable in obtaining, sustaining, reissuing, extending and enforcing United
States and foreign patents, including but not limited to, design patents, on the
Developments, and for perfecting, affirming and recording the Company's, or any
of its Affiliate's, complete ownership and title thereto, and to cooperate
otherwise in all proceedings and matters relating thereto.

         (e) Records. Executive will keep complete, accurate and authentic
accounts, notes, data and records of the Developments in the manner and form
requested by the


                                       7
<PAGE>   8

Company. Such accounts, notes, data and records shall be the property of the
Company, and, upon its request, Executive will promptly surrender same to it or,
if not previously surrendered upon its request or otherwise, Executive will
surrender the same, and all copies thereof, to the Company upon the conclusion
of his employment.

         (f) Obligations, Restrictions and Limitations. Executive understands
that the Company, or its Affiliates, may enter into agreements or arrangements
with agencies of the United States Government, and that the Company, or its
Affiliates, as applicable, may be subject to laws and regulations which impose
obligations, restrictions and limitations on it with respect to inventions and
patents which may be acquired by it or which may be conceived or developed by
employees, consultants or other agents rendering services to it. Executive shall
be bound by all such obligations, restrictions and limitations applicable to any
such invention conceived or developed by him during the term of this Agreement
and shall take any and all further action which may be required to discharge
such obligations and to comply with such restrictions and limitations.

         (g) Copyrightable Material. All right, title and interest in all
copyrightable material that Executive shall conceive or originate, either
individually or jointly with others, and which arise out of the performance of
this Agreement, will be the property of the Company and are by this Agreement
assigned to the Company along with ownership of any and all copyrights in the
copyrightable material. Upon request and without further compensation therefor,
but at no expense to Executive, and whether during the term of this Agreement or
thereafter, Executive shall execute all papers and perform all other acts
necessary to assist the Company to obtain and register copyrights on such
materials in any and all countries. Where applicable, works of authorship
created by Executive for the Company in performing his responsibilities under
this Agreement shall be considered "works made for hire," as defined in the U.S.
Copyright Act.

         (h) Know-How and Trade Secrets. All know-how and trade secret
information conceived or originated by Executive that arises out of the
performance of his obligations or responsibilities under this Agreement or any
related material or information shall be the property of the Company, and all
rights therein are by this Agreement assigned to the Company.

         8. Settlement of Disputes.

         (a) Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 8(c), any claims or
disputes of any nature between the Company and Executive arising from or related
to the performance, breach, termination, expiration, application or meaning of
this Agreement or any matter relating to Executive's employment and the
termination of that employment by the Company shall be resolved exclusively by
arbitration in Denver, Colorado, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration
Rules then obtaining of the American Arbitration Association. In the event of
submission of any dispute to arbitration, each party shall, not later than
thirty (30) days prior to the date set for hearing, provide to the other party
and to the arbitrator(s) a copy of all exhibits upon which the party intends to
rely at the hearing and a list of all persons each party intends to call at the
hearing. The fees of the arbitrator(s) and other costs incurred by Executive and
the Company in


                                       8
<PAGE>   9

connection with such arbitration shall be paid by the party who or which is
unsuccessful in such arbitration.

         (b) Binding Effect. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final
and binding upon both parties. Judgment of the award rendered by the
arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

         (c) Resolution of Certain Claims-Injunctive Relief. Section 8(a) shall
have no application to claims by the Company asserting a violation of Section
4(e), 5 or 7 or seeking to enforce, by injunction or otherwise, the terms of
Section 4(e), 5 or 7. Such claims may be maintained by the Company in a lawsuit
subject to the terms of Section 8(d). Executive acknowledges that it would be
difficult to fully compensate the Company for damages resulting from any breach
by him of the provisions of this Agreement. Accordingly, Executive agrees that,
in addition to, but not to the exclusion of any other available remedy, the
Company shall have the right to enforce the provisions of Section 4(e), 5 or 7
by applying for and obtaining temporary and permanent restraining orders or
injunctions from a court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of
filing a bond therefor, and without the necessity of proving actual damages, and
the Company shall be entitled to recover from Executive its reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs in enforcing the provisions of Section 4(e), 5 or 7.

         (d) Venue. Any action at law, suit in equity or judicial proceeding
arising directly, indirectly, or otherwise in connection with, out of, related
to or from this Agreement, or any provision hereof, shall be litigated only in
the courts of the State of Colorado, County of Denver. Executive and the Company
consent to the jurisdiction of such courts over the subject matter set forth in
Section 8(c). Executive waives any right Executive may have to transfer or
change the venue of any litigation brought against Executive by the Company.

         9. Representations.

         (a) Executive's Representations. Executive hereby represents and
warrants to the Company that (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by Executive does not and will not conflict with, breach, violate or

Executive is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, covenant not
to compete or confidentiality agreement with any other person or entity, and
